Love all the complainers about price. Go here for $3.00, go here with a 20% off coupon, etc. If price is your primary goal you should try staying home for breakfast. Potatoes $2.50 for 5 lbs, eggs $1.29 a dozen and Bread at $1.50 a loaf. Add it up and you'll finally be happy.

where are the coupons?

Suggest you ask zcaveman as he posted the following:

We will eat there again. But I will probably go to Denny's more than First Watch. They ARE cheaper and I have my 20% discount coupons.

[zcaveman]

Coupons are in the ad insert sections in the Sunday newspaper. Longhorn, Olive Garden, Logan's, Red Lobster, Perkins, Denny's, TGIF to name a few. I also signed up at each site to get coupons by email. TooJays give great specials by email.

Today i asked for burned toast and cold coffee and cold eggs - the waitress told me she could not do that - but i told her i had that here yesterday

Mr.MAC9 and I had brunch there today. Nothing had any flavor. My roast beef sandwich was like eating unseasoned mushrooms. The tomato bisque soup was great. The pancakes that he had were dry and tasteless. Even butter and syrup couldn't help them. With 2 coffees, bill was $19.63 before tip. Didn't think that the prices were bad, just that the food was awful.
He had joined their club so that his meal was free with the coupon that we received. We will try it again and have something else. Could have been a bad day. Always like to give it a second try.

YIKES! I go to the Fruitland Park Cafe next to the Dinner Bell. $3 breakfasts and coffee = 50 cents. Love that place!!! Has that old diner feel.

I love fruitland park cafe and the dinner bell, great mom and pop places

Best darn pancake I have ever had. Yes, only one because it is huge and fills the entire dinner plate with pacan goodness in a unique and excellent batter. You can buy one or more. Less than $3 no coffee. Good service and very clean. I'll be back.

Went there this morning. Had a pancake... it was filling but far from what I would call the best I ever had. Hard to eat and it was kinda grainy. Too cakey. The syrup made it fall apart and hard to pick up with a fork. I also thought it was quite pricey. Wifey had wake-up special: 2 egs, homefries, etc and coffee. Me: 1 pancake, 2 link sausage, and coffee. Bill was still over $20. Get the same with more food in Belleview for $13. Probably won't eat there again.

So you'd spend gas money and time to drive to Bellview to save roughly $7.00?

Absolutely! But it doesn't cost me $7 to drive 8 miles and back. Plus, while in Belleview, I buy my bread at the Merita bread at $1.75 a loaf and I stop at the Market of Marion for my veggies that are half the price and fresher than any of any of the local Publix or Walmart markets. But beside the cost savings... the food quality, large portions, and service are better than any place I've found in my 10 years in The Villages. I figure my breakfast is almost free by the time I'm finished. But... to each their own!

Haven't been to this one, but there is one in New Tampa the we loved. Glad it's coming to TV. Only had breakfast there but doing a week stay, we ate there 6 times!

Don't think you can go wrong.

I thought it was quite pricey. Too much $$$ for me. Probably won't try it again!

the Fruitland Park Cafe is definitely the best place around for breakfast and lunch, the dinner bell, not so much (mediocre food for good food prices)

eggs, bacon, toast are $1 each and coffee is .5o, I usually get the corned beef hash with 2 eggs over easy and toast = about $4.50 + .50 for the coffee
all cooked beautifully

Went to First Watch this morning with Pooh and our spouses. Good food and good company. I had the Pumpkin French Toast special and my wife had Eggs Benadict. We'll definitely go again!
