Definitive restaurant information source is The Villages Gourmet website. Just do a web search for it. Absolutely encyclopedic restaurant info for a 150 mile radius from TV. All of the places mentioned in this thread so far are good IMHO.

Blackwater Inn, Astor, about an hour trip but nice 2hr. Guided boat trip on the St. John's river; $25/ea. Good food and decore in restaurant upon return or before. Google search best way to locate it.

Drive up to Salt Springs in Ocala Nat'l Forest and try Bass Champions. Great seafood joint at great prices. Also the fruit stand in town has superb Mexican food truck for lunch.

I only have a golf cart so I live in a Villages bubble. But I have been to Eaton's Beach in Weirsdale on Lake Weir and it is fantastic! If I could get to it, I would be a frequent flyer. Great atmosphere and even better food! Let me know if you want a guest if you go!

The Freezer in Homosassa is a great little seafood place. It's right on the water where the fishing boats come in. VERY CASUAL and nothing but seafood. Mostly outdoors. Dogs allowed.

Betty Cakes Cafe & Bakery in Ocala. This hidden gem is located inside Your Hearts Desire gift shop on Silver Springs Blvd. (Next to Staples) This restaurant has won The Best of Ocala awards in the desert category for over 15 straight years. A lunch only cafe, this little cafe has never placed an ad and has no signage and has still become “Ocala Famous”. We enjoy the gift shop / cafe combo... so bring your appetite, because the cakes are great and the chicken salad is the best I have tried in the south.

Fisherman's Restaurant on Route 44 towards Inverness. O'Shocks on 301 in Wildwood. I- Barbeque and Fruitland Park Cafe next to each other in 441, about a half mile south of 466a. For Italian, we like Naples in Leesburg, and Chefs of Napoli in Wildwood. More upscale, Ms. Cathy's Cotillion Cafe in Wildwood.

Find your own table and order at a counter. Now that's casual. But I love it. Really fresh seafood.

How about a golf cart accessible Waffle House?
