For a hamburger? I think I'll pay a couple dollars more and go to Bonefish Grill.

Sounds like somebody better warn the employees at the other six wildly successful Square1s that they are soon going to be out of work!

Difference being the other six wildly successful Square1s are not in The Villages.

I thought the topic was the Square 1 in the villages...did I miss something?

No, just keep reading..........................

We were there right after they opened and we found them to have a VERY GOOD hamburger of good quality. I guess it comes down to if you want GOOD QUALITY you have to pay for it. If you really are concerned with saving money you should go to Winn Dixie and buy hamburger and make it at home. One should take into consideration that there is much overhead to run a business like this. The service was very good. Give them a chance to make it and don't bad mouth them, is my feeling.
To me, it's sad that many are so critical of someone working to trying to make it in business.

And...being in The Villages threatens their success how?

Truthfully, I can't tell the difference regarding their "quality meat" and other places who don't profess that. How does their "quality meat" differ from some other places who simply serve a good burger? Square 1 puts mayo on their burgers which make them "juicier," but anyone can do that (and most places don't.).

As far as "quality meat" goes, 5 Guys beef is never frozen and as a matter of fact, either is Wendy's. I would have to live my life eating only hormone free, antibiotic free, etc, for that to matter as a selling point for going there.

Just thinking that year round rather than season business may make them less than wildly successful. Not sure enough full timers in that neck of the woods to support their prices.

I would guess that after the snowbirds have flown home, there is between 60,000 to 70,000 residents (includes a smaller number of transient rentals) plus the non-Villagers. That's a lot of hungry mouths that would prefer eating out instead of slaving over the stove.

If I were a restaurant owner, I would prefer the non-seasonal crowd over the throng of vacation-minded starving snowbirds. But then again, I am way too lazy to fight the fight in the restaurant biz.

True - but what % of those 60-70 thousand folks are willing to pay $12+ for a burger?
Just a thought. I hope they are wildly successful - just don't see it.

A group of golfers recently went to Square One and one of the chairs collapsed sending the golfer to the floor! The management took his name and info, still charged him for his meal and never contacted him afterwards to see if he was ok. He proceeded to write corporate an e- mail- they responded by sending him a lousy $ 40 gift certificate! His meal that day cost $24. I will not frequent such a poorly run restaurant!

Our burgers were good, our booth didn't collapse, our waitress was efficient & friendly. However, I think the prices will keep many people from returning. My husband thought the burgers at Sonic were just as good, although we don't care for the onion rings at either place (they're both breaded).

We wanted to try it out once. It was fine; just a little pricey for a burger.

I had a cup of Beer Cheese Soup and it was good but it cost 6.00. The decor is the tackiest I have ever seen. At Least Buca d Beppo is funny. Not on my go to list.
