Good homemade food locations are The Mason Jar in Umatilla and Mary's Country Kitchen in Tavares.

I'm guessing you're trying to give "accurate" advice based on one visit?

It was one visit but waitress said it happens all the time and gave us bug spray which they keep outside

There was a chain called "Po' Folks" (or similar spelling) in Detroit many years ago that my wife and I would go to for Southern-style food that had the "meat and 3" type combo plates. We stumbled across one in northern Tampa a few years ago but when I look for it online, I only see a location for "PoFolks" in St. Petersburg. That's kind of a long drive for Southern cooking, but we are known to drive clear down to Sarasota when we need a fix of Amish-style cooking, so whose to say what is too long for you? You crave what you crave!

Can't recommend that place. We like Catfish Johnny's in Lake Panosoffkee.
But it's easy to search for "Southern" cuisine, say within 30 miles of here on
The Villages Gourmet Club Search Page: LINK.
We use it all the time.

We used to go there, great fried chicken and southern fried steak. Understand they filed bankruptcy came out of it called Folks. Have not seen one in years.
