I like expensive restaurants for dinner. I rarely eat breakfast, but when I do, I would rather go to McDonald's. To me, the food is just as good as the expensive places, the service is better and faster with no expected tipping, you can sit where ever you want, they will bring the food to your table, refill your coffee, and the overall cost is less than 25 percent of most other places. And, the coffee is good and the eggs are real.

I find most restaurants in and around the Villages to be mediocre at best and priced well above where it should be. Even when I find a restaurant that may rise above the usual its not consistent and the next trip usually finds the usual or worse. Maybe the pop tart and Mountain Dew is the way to go, but I'd just like a well cooked meal that arrives at the table while it is still warm enough to enjoy.

It's totally golf cart accessible. You can get to it from Camino Real, which has an MMP that connects with Spanish Springs town square and Morse Blvd, all of which have golf cart paths.

You just go to the Regional Hospital campus and drive through their drives to the shopping plaza adjacent to them.

I love fruit and granola. My mom used to make sheets of granola for us from scratch when I was growing up. That's a snack/treat though, not breakfast.

Avocado is slimy and gross and green and looks like snot paste. I refuse to eat it.

Snot paste.

I think they were referring to the First Watch in Wildwood on Rt 466-A.

Of course, now I'll be called an avocado bigot

A restaurant should not seat more patrons than they can serve promptly and get food to the table hot. If they don't have the staff, they should not seat patrons.

I ate there once but the food came late and only warm.

For me, the mark of a breakfast place is biscuits and gravy. I have not had better than Bob Evans. The specialty places (Flying Biscuit and First Watch) look like they should be better, but in my experience, they are not. Ihop has a bad rap, but a good breakfast.

We tried them 3 times. Great applebutter. Good omelette. Coffee stout enough to stand a dead man up. No other choices offered. Coffee has to be RIGHT, or no go. Too bad.

I’ve always had a pleasant experience at The Flying Biscuit. Short on staff, but always nice servers.

When I read the title of the thread I thought someone was calling me out for tossing the disgusting biscuit from my golf cart that Kentucky Fried insists on including with the chicken.

Is that worse than being a kumquat bigot? Asking for a friend.

There are two of them. One, by the hospital, and one in Trailwinds Plaza.

The former is GC accessible, the latter is not...

Regardless, the one by the hospital is too far for me to go by golf cart...
