If you're more towards the historic side Billy's Cafe on Rt441 by Lowes.

I have been way tooooo many times to Reveille and each time the food and the service blows my socks off.

The fresh squeezed orange juice is soooooo tasty you will think it’s fake- but you can see the big squeezer they use and it’s fun to watch the machine work!!

The cinnamon swirl cakes (pancakes) are ORGASMIC!! They taste like they took the best cinnamon but with lots of gooey icing and smashed it down and topped in with more gooey icing - but light and fluffy!!!

The MYSTIC stuffed French toast is INDESCRIBABLY delicious as well.

Oh and the cheesy grits!!! YUMMY FOR MY TUMMY!!!

Actually, everything I have tried as been great and the prices are actually pretty cheap considering how good the food is. Cheap and excellent food and service is hard to find in The Villages or anywhere these days.

Reveille is open 7AM-2PM- so they serve breakfast and lunch. There can be a long line but it moves fast usually not more than 5 or 10 minutes, and totally worth the wait.

WORTH THE DRIVE FROM ANYWHERE YOU ARE!!! Plus sooo many cool, beautiful and fun things down here, below 44.

Darrels also has hash browns, not as good as WaffleHouse (you have to go a ways to find one), but again ok. For basic eggs meat potatoes, not considering distance, Billys and Darrels are good and affordable. Reveille has some foo foo items, similar to First Watch, which is way overpriced for my basic breakfast taste. nearby, but outside the bubble, The Train Station and Wolfies in Leesburg are both credible. All IMO obviously

Another vote for Billy’s because they have the outstanding up north home fried potatoes. Generous portions too.

Lil Bits Cafe on 101 across from Southern Trace plaza. Also great blueberry hotcakes.

We have done the same for Chili Dogs! Where is your place worth the 200 mile trip?

How about the Metro Diner, used to be my favorite place to go around Naples. They closed down at Covid time.

Metro diner is on 466

Good breakfast place for your August visit

First Watch - hands down!

Yes, but very inconsistent. We finally gave up as they like to douse everything in oil. Very good coffee, but if you order onions in potatoes, they will be burnt black. Rae Rae's
