We had not yet been to O'Shea's . However golf cart accessible for any business for me personally means little and in fact if I am going out to eat arriving in a golf cart is not in my nature. golf carts are for golf courses and only champion courses at that.

The food was top quality and had so much food variety. The dinner menu changed - I believe - nightly. IMO, the food was much better than 'Golden Corral'. The waitresses were horrible, though.

We never found out why they closed. We really miss eating there. My guess is that they couldn't hang-on financially until the new Villages homes were built across the road and filled with new homeowners/future patrons.

Seems a shame that 'O'Sheas' couldn't make it either. I think it's a great location and there's really no other restaurants around in that immediate area right now.

I hope something good comes along soon, and actually sticks around.

Ate at Butter Bean many times and never found the waitress's horrible.

doomed location?
. . .another one bites the dust!
I would have thought that with the arrival of Brownwood and all of the homes that are rapidly being built south of 466A, that a real opportunity would exist for a business at that location. Was service and food so horrible? Those kinds of things can be corrected easily. There still is no decent pizza here.

Like it was said before - cart car accessible.

They are just on the outskirts of TV. If a Sonny's could not make it work, I doubt if anyone can.

BTW - We went to the Sonny's that was there many times before the one in LSL opened. We tried Speckled Butter Bean but my wife did not like the southern cooked veggies. The chicken was good but there were not very many other meat choices that were palatable to us. We preferred Golden Corral better because of the variety of veggies.

the owner should have served decent food, we tried this place 4 times and disappointed each time, the last time the seafood special was very salty, as if the kitchen staff was angry with the waitress. it is a good location, just needs better owners/management. we have seen it before: build it and they will come.

[LndLocked]

Both Speckled Butterbean locations closed (the original one in the Webster Flea Market had been there for many many years) due to a divorce between the owners. Not lack of customers.

O'Sheas was busy until what certainly appears to be bad ownership / management drove (pun intended) people away and killed it.

Neither had anything to do with not being able to drive a golf cart there.
