Half right-----First Watch at Trailwinds is NOT golf cart accessible, however the one at Spanish Plaines is.

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.
Great breakfast.

And I would have taken you for an avocado toast, fruit and granola girl. A lesson to all-----see what happens when one "assumes"

We also had a terrible experience the last time we were there. Didn't go back.

You peoples standards are way too high.
What kind of pop-tart?

I went and looked at a map. It seemed like you could get there from behind the place. I guess not...

Goes to show, I should never question me...

Ah.. THAT's the one I must have seen on the map... Near Spanish Springs?

I checked because I WAS thinking about the Trailwinds one (which I thought was not golf cart accessible)...

Well you do have the people who are mad because they had the nerve to criticize a restaurant.

(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!
I don’t eat breakfast, so I’ve never been to a breakfast place here. In several of P.G. Wodehouse’s stories and novels about Jeeves and Wooster there are references to “The Drones Club,” where the unneeded younger sons of nobility (who are expected not to breed) go for fun. They throw buns at each other. I’m not sure why that is fun, or tasty. Did you see any flying biscuits at The Flying Biscuit, or was that also a disappointment? I’m imagining the biscuits flying around like little drones. (Not the younger sons of earls sort of drones.)
