There is a 24/7 breakfast place called Denny's just 5 miles (10 minutes) from Colony Plaza if you're willing to venture outside of the golf cart bubble. There are also at least 3 other breakfasts places within that 5 miles from Colony, but they're not 24/7. See the map link for Colony Plaza to Denny's below:

I suspect it is all relative. if you lived in a fairly big city with several suburbs surrounding its perimeter then you are use to widening your scope and their are just too many restaurants to chose from.

If your mind set is in need of golf cart assessable then you narrow your search and selections.

Add or subtract from that your tastes, etc and....well you get the picture.

Wildwood has restaurants and is just down the road.

That area is scarce due ONLY to Marion County stopping development in that area.

well when they build down to the turnpike maybe a CB will come

[marianne237]

Wildwood is growing due in part to Villagers. The olde coffee pot (or whatever it's name is) has okay food and does serve breakfast. Their chicken buffet at lunch is small but satisfying.

I'd love to see a Boston Market here and also a fish restaurant...Capt. D or something similar.

There IS a Cracker Barrel on Hwy 441/27 just a couple of blocks from Lowe's hardware store. They do serve breakfast all day. Not the healthiest food around with all the country fried stuff and sausage gravy but downright tasty once in a great while.

Sounds like the folks living south of 466A who are griping about a lack of restaurants down there did not do "drive around research" before buying their house.

More chains............that are really closing rather than opening new sites.

It's a full service Italian Rest.

I have suggested to the Villages Commercial Real Estate Office, that they should pursue looking into the Boston Market as a viable restaurant. Everyone on this Forum should write to them 'enmasse' to get something going. Please help.Thanks.

Have you written to any of those Resteraunts and asked them to come? Where is all this open space? I know of 3 plots by Colony the rest is claimed or not GC accesable.

TooJay serves breakfast until 2pm on weekends. But you're right if you want breakfast later or on weekdays. It's 30 minutes by cart (Spanish Springs or Southern Trace) or 15 minutes by car to several 24/7 breakfast locations in and out of TV.

go read some of the negative posts about the Irish Pub and then ask "Why would anyone want to start a restaurant"?
Wonder how many of those complainers are the same ones that are complaining about not enough restaurants?

So we can't complain also? At least Beef O'Brady's added breakfast. Now that they are building a Marcus Welby place and a Lake Imaging place we might get more attention. We already have the VA place.

I want a McDonald's and a Denny's and a Red Lobster or a Longhorns.

If you can dream why can't I?

Why not hire a chef to come in a few times a week and fix something at your home? It's just a thought.

Are you volunteering? I like steak and/or chicken. You can recommend the veggies.
