Does anyone know when Habaneros will open? It is the restaurant that is opening in the old Crispers location.
The only information I can find online says Habaneros was scheduled to open in November 2017.
Both restaurants are in Southern Trace Plaza.

November 2017 is correct. You know how it goes here.
Just like The Villages build-out date. It just keeps moving.

I spoke to someone in Habaneros a week ago and he said they were planning on opening the last week in January. (fingers crossed).

Thanks for the posts. I guess all bets are off until I see Habaneros with an Open sign.
Same with Culvers as target dates seem to "slip" a lot in The Villages.

Just looked @ their menu, just a reminder if you care--the max sodium per day should not exceed 2300 mg--if you are on a low sodium diet--be very careful what you order @ Culvers

You lay something down around here and it just disappears.

It is my opinion that, since we eat most of our meals at home, which include a lot of fruits and vegetables and the right amount of meat and fat, that we can indulge at Culvers from time to time.

It is a very good place to indulge in yummy stuff and no worse than places that serve steak and high end booze.

We love Culvers. Our trips to Antigo for groceries always included a trip to Culvers. Great soups, salads, Fish, chicken, and of course the butter burgers. Will be nice having one here.

Are you kidding me? If salt was bad for you, why would God have rimmed Margarita glasses with it?

Well, Barefoot you have me laughing. I stopped by Habaneros again today and was told they are now shooting for the middle of February. I told him I was told the "last week in January". He said that was the plan but there is an inspection delay. So, as you have said, BF. in my own words this time, "it'll be when it will be". :) and :(

I thought when they were scheduled to open in November that they were trying to take advantage of the "busy months" in TV.
I hope Habarneros has deep pockets.

It's aggravating when you want something to happen...that said, in construction delays happen for many reasons. Supplies held up somewhere, inspectors didn't show up, the subs are busy on another project...and the list goes on. Can't wait for Habanaro's and Culver's! The latter we're the most familiar with but looking foreward to the former!!!

I have never had a "butter burger" and only eat at fast food places maybe once per month, have to say I am intrigued as I love a good cheeseburger. My favorite cheap burger fix is McD's double cheeseburger with small side of fries, less than $3.

Can someone with experience with Culvers describe their offering in detail?

Not sure that I've done this correctly but this shoiuld take you to Culver's menu. My favorite is the single cheeseburger: thin, quick-fried and I like all of the shown condiments. The bun is buttered and fried. I love the "original" with cheese.

The frozen yogurt is the best I've ever had.

Just give it a shot when it opens up. My mouth is watering just thinking about it and I just finished dinner. :)
