Surprised no one mentioned Darrel’s Diners. There are several in TV. They do home fries on the griddle. Also Lil Bits Cafe on CR 101, I believe does as well.

if youre a potatoes guy, Billys has outstanding up north home fried potatoes. Reveille has tater tots.. Darrels is in between, with ok chunky potatoes. 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

Denny's is super popular with many TOTV members!

First Watch is good if you are looking for unusual breakfasts. High price, though. Billy's has great potatoes and serves a ton of them, but their eggs are tiny. Rae Rae's on 441 between 466 466A is excellent, and they will put your name on a list if you call when leaving the house.

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

If you like Southern cooking, the Cracker Barrel in Gainesville on i75 is always reliably good.

I'm surprised no one mention Wolfe's for selection price and great food.
Worth the drive for me.

Why would you drive to Gainesville when we have a perfectly acceptable CB in the northern end of TV on 27/441?

We haven’t been in a couple of years but always enjoyed breakfast at the Cottage Inn, just South of 466. 340 S US Hwy 27 441, Lady Lake.

depends on where you are staying/visiting. Bob Evans on 466 or 466A is great for breakfast. Cracker Barrel on 441, Denny's on 441, First Watch on 466A, Too Jays ( one in Lake Sumter and one in Brownwood) all are good. If you are staying south of 44 ( new section) can't help you. Too far for me to go, not interested
