We felt the same way. Walked in once, looked at options and prices and walked out. Seen no reason to return. I would definitely get rid of the uncomfortable seating. The noise is there felt
Like I was in a mall food court filled with noisy teenagers. We waited a long time for that place to open and are very disappointed. Didn’t realize that half the area was going to be a pro shop.

I managed a rather large staff and told them all the time that I was always open for ideas and changes but not complaints without solutions. "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem."

Yes McGrady’s and yes, market building, are developer owned. Yes, on any land within TV.
Early on The developer ran many restaurants in TV, including KB’s. As times have changed they started leasing out most.

The market is leased to the businesses, one person has the pizza, and burger place. Village grown is the developer, as is the pro shop. I am guessing the “Kitchen demo” is the developer also, which may or may not rent out its space for classes. Bakery, coffee and the (butcher, which has yet to open) are individual’s.

It’s fun to go to on occasion
I would change the menu at the pub
Few selections

[maistocars]

I like 3 of the food places in there and also like McGrady's. What they need is to have that entertainment venue to open. Unreal they haven't opened that up yet.

Ok stop the Costco campaign - they are one of my accounts - I asked and there are NO plans to come to TV for the next 3-4 years. and that was accompanied by a laugh. as in are you serious. so stop asking LOL

on to the main topic, changes to the market -

Cash is king - so standard methods of payment are madatory
change the options - less is more, i would reduce the number of food 'huts' and keep some items -

market - gone - it's a waste and sham
coffee shop - keep change location and place it in the market area - offering comfortable seating
speaking of seating all the high stools can find a dumptster - who's idea was it to sit people on totally uncomfortable chairs - the idea is to keep people there not get rid of them (a sign that the "current owner" is clueless)

Burgers - keep I'm hearing they aren't all too bad, maybe focusing the employees in one direction will make it better.
Fish - gone - too far overpriced to make any sense
Bar - price changes and better drink options. They don't even have a cocktail menu.... shame however glad to see PBR LOL
dessert - bye bye.

bet you're wondering what to do with all the extra space? make things larger - let the pub take on dinner and other business. The Market should be looked at as a different venue yet familiar.

Before I forget - sound baffles. who the heck thought none was a good idea - one person talks and no one can hear anything.

that's just the initial part. There's more but it's a start here, and then you make more changes.

Lower the rent so a business does not have to overprice everything. This is not Disney. Disposable plates and flatware of better quality. Sound deadening. Definitely the food quality has to improve. Stop stealing the customers money, return the change owed or round down and except the loss because that practice is losing customers which is the result of stealing their money. Increase parking.

My wife and I went in to the food court this weekend, and walked out inn10 minutes. TOO LOUD! Worst acoustics for any food court I've ever been in. Also, it lacked any feeling of comfort. Would never eat there.
What the owners will never know is how many people avoid the place because of its poor design.

Keep out all the complainers? The developer always has a bigger plan.. so when Eastport opens I'm sure all of these complaints about Sawgrass will be forgotten. Life is too short ❣️

More up close golf car parking. A covered walkway to the parking area. Delivery options for all food options.

I worked for a boss like you. My job was to inform you what displeased your patrons not to solve your problems. If that was my job I would either be making a lot more money or it would be my business.

Need to add fabric that absorbs sound: carpet, cloth seating, cloth on ceilings, drapes, sound panels on walls, etc. Lower prices. No inside entertainment. Cheap liquor.

You nailed it.
