Rest assured if the management does not correct the issue you sight , watch for a closing . The old song we can’t hire staff is partly to blame, when no one of skill can be hired you hire warm bodies and hope to train them. I owned a family style restaurant for many years and know the problem well.

I went to Limp Bizkit once. My wife thinks Fred Durst is hot I just think he’s flakey

Do you know how many calories there are in those things? No one can eat like that.

While waiting for our food, had to listen to the staff argue about buying tables & sharing tips. Finally a nice looking bisquit came out, way before breakfast. (Was cold by the time meal arrived) then the meal.....all eggs were ordered over easy - came out cold & broken. Bacon was a joke - cooked to death, shattered when touched. Also cold. Steak was so tough, could hardly cut it with a knife - eating it was not happening! So tough! Potatoes were overcooked & cold. Grits were Luke warm at best. Can't believe a restaurant can charge the prices they do & serve food so horrible! Worst in the Villages! Save yourself the time, money & grief....go somewhere else!

For anyone with a farming background, this is a bad name for a restaurant...........

Have you aired your complaint with the Management? A lot of times it is an isolated incident due to lack of help at the time. I have heard of nothing but good ratings for this place.

OP, been there twice and was not impressed by the food or the service. Bob Evans and Darrell’s are closer and I prefer either one over the Flying Biscuit. Of course, you can have a poor dining experience anywhere.

So I go to Darrell's instead.

Been to First Watch, that was phenomenal, though again - very expensive. But at least it had what I wanted, which was...

1 or 2 eggs
toast with real dairy butter
home fries
bacon

I wouldn't eat there regularly because of the price. But it's a nice treat once in awhile. Their bacon is soooo good.

What century are you living in? Even IHOP charges $12.99 for a decent breakfast! Lolol

Found that we have been to quite a few IHOP's while traveling and found them to be high priced and poorly run so we go elsewhere. Darryl's does a good job

The point is that it sustains me until a light lunch. I am so active I burn those calories off pretty quickly.

I’ve always had wonderful food and pretty good service when dining at the Flying Biscuit Cafe. Their grits are the best ever a the biscuits are mouth watering. Give it another go.

Funny think their biscuits are not as good as others. Went to a dinner recently where cracker barrel was catering and thought their biscuits were far superior

I'm looking at the IHOP menu at Wedgewood IHOP, and the 2x2x2 is $9.89

That's $2 more than at the IHOP in Wallingford, CT, where I always went when I lived up there. And it's $4 more than the Senior menu in Wallingford. I don't recall if they have a senior breakfast special at Wedgewood or not. If they do, it'll be less than $9.89.

You were right the first time! Well for some villagers everything is golf car accessible. I’ve seen them driving down 466-A like nothing’s wrong .

I didn't think it is golf cart accessible either.
And also followed a cart on 466A cruising along from Morse, Canal? and turned right onto Buena Vista and no Street Legal plate.
