Went by there earlier and saw all tables , etc. that are normallt outside gone and a sign in the window that stated they were closed. Restaurants in TV is a tough business to be in. It only takes a few bad incidents and tyhe word of mouth just clobbers you. Good luck to the owners and those who invested in the BCG.

So sad, at one time, they were the hottest nightspot in town. We had a huge crowd and had music until 1am every night. I wonder why it went downhill so fast. All of us regulars are so upset about its closing. It is a tough business to be in for sure.

Since the beginning no eating extablishment has been successful at that location, yet it is golf cart accessible.(the big plus offered by Village Commercial Property group.)

I wonder why that is? The location is great.

Hubby and I used to eat at Big City Grill up near Wal-Mart on 466. After a while, the food wasn't quite as good as it was when the place was new. We stopped eating there, but were happy to see it was establishing in Spanish Springs. Never did eat at the SS location so I don't know if the food was good or not so good. Still, it's sad to see restaurants that were initially successful, close.

When we've come down, we've talked about going to Big City Grill in Spanish Springs, but never seemed to make it. I guess that makes us part of the problem. Sad to see them go.

This is the third location this owner has closed / walked away from in TV.

It was a pleasant enough place and, if the weather was nice, a nice place to sit and enjoy a light meal and watch the goings on at the square, but let's face it, the food was pretty mediocre. If they had those really good snappy franks that you can get in Chicago or New Jersey and superior sandwiches, I think they would have done much better.

I agree, and I think he actually walked away from the Spanish Springs location when he opened it up... if you get my drift. The entertainment at night was the big draw (and only draw) and once he decided to **** off the entertainers, it just declined rapidly. I once thought of buying the place because the location is perfect, right next door to KB's and in the square. Couldn't be better, how the heck can you blow that??? How about, no interest and poor management???? Not to mention, bad food!!!

It was bad on 466, it got worse at Spanish Springs. The owner ran Johnny Rockets down too.

Skip...

Big City and Johnny Rockets have/had the worst food in TV.

Big City Grill had the concept of an Italian Sausage and Italian Beef down as good as I have had in The Villages. However, their hot dogs and pizza were second rate. Not a bad gyros though. I'll miss them.

Agree with the pizza being second rate as well as the hot dogs. The Italian Sausage and Italian Beef were much better. Never had the gyros though.

Cannot say that I will miss them though with so many other choices available in or near the Villages.

[marianne237]

try the gyros at Taki's on the other side of 27/441. Not too bad.

Don't forget that both Portillo's and Malnati's can be shipped to The Villages quite easily. Order today, here tomorrow.
