Best food and entertainment in The Villages. Friday's with the Lacroixs, Saturday with the fabulous Music Mixx, and Sunday buffet with Betsy. Place is really doing well, and it should!

Default I totaly agree!

We go there 2 to 3 evenings a week. They have food specials and entertainment every night. Great value and nice atmosphere.

It used to under such bad management over a year plus ago. We have never been back after giving it numerous tries. Is it under new management? I always loved the location just never had a good hot meal and if we complained the manager made it our fault. The hostess acted like she was doing us a favor when we asked for a table. It just wasn't a good, comfortable feeling for us. I would love to try it again but first tell me that management is new.

We've eaten dinner there a few times and everything has been to our satisfaction. We also had Thanksgiving buffet last year and that was great too.

We can eat at Hacienda
It's now on our agenda
Come sunshine or the rain....

We will order up some dinner
Which will not make us grow thinner
Now that their chef is The Brain

I think they have one of the better corned beef and pastrami combo sandwiches. I like Too-Jays but the one at HH does not come in a tight roll and it has better sides.

The new owner is Al. His chef is Brian. They have improved every aspect of the business. Great place now!

This is great that Hacienda is getting good reviews. I have never eaten there because of some of the horror stories I have read in the past on TOTV. I will certainly give them a try in the future.

It goes without saying-----you cannot have a good restaurant without good management. Without it----the good employees will eventually leave.

I've always loved hacienda hills. Especially their specials.
