33 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in The Villages

“We like Daryl's. I wish they would have gluten-free toast. It's one of the simplest things to stock keep it in the freezer till someone wants it Thank goodness for reveolis cuz we all know we lost Willie Jews. They don't have gluten free anymore. No more french fries and I'm not sure about the meat. They change it with no notice and if you've eaten it like me you know were paying the price for the next week and a half“

“Dined at Legacy April 30. Party of 7. Eric was our server. Eric was over the top terrific. Very attentive and very personable. Eric is a definite asset to this restaurant. Thank you Eric. We will return and request you.“

“The food and service were perfect. Our server Jen was gracious and attentive!“

“We gave our name and were told, “30 minutes.” After one hour checked and were told, “7 ahead of you.” After one hour and 15 minutes were told, “2 ahead of you.” After watching 4 go ahead of us checked again. Manager said, “ thousands are checking in every day. We’re doing what we can.” After one hour and 45 minutes, and harassment from us, we were finally seated. Very poor experience.“

“Good food great staff… ordering again“

“Food and atmosphere was great. Our server, Dennis, was absolutely rude.... slamming his hands on the table, yelled at us that he was servicing our table, yet walked by multiple times not asking us anything. The manager made sure we were taken care of. GM and manager made our experience great. I happily give a 5 star review because a bad employee doesn't make a bad place, however, Dennis needs some work.“

“Held a Pizza Party on Monday June 13 for Vietnam Veteran’s “Volunteer’s” and Everything was GREAT! From the Management and Staff, we couldn’t have been Happier and The Pizza’s were Excellent! Thank You, Sonny Baker, VVA Chapter 1036“

“Thank you Denny's for the free breakfast for Veterans Day. The food was so good and came to the table hot. Our server, Erika was outstanding! She was so sweet, and helpful and kept checking on us and filling up my husband's coffee. We weren't expecting this because of how crowded it was but Erika handled everything with ease. She is the best server we have ever had since moving here. You are lucky to have such a caring employee.“

“My wife and I love going there. We always sit on the bar side. Amanda and Brianne, are the best bar tenders there. Along with Cassandra, Felicia and Sonja are recently new but are shaping up to be as good as Amanda and Brianne. They always are on top of things there no matter how busy they are. The management staff is all friendly especially Chris. We watch him help in every station there. No matter how busy they are they always take the time to say hello. We moved to the Villager's about a year and a half ago when we discovered this gem. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food at a reasonable price.“

“We had our Christmas party out on the breezeway today. Staff was outstanding and food abundant and delicious. Thank you Evan’s prairie.“

“A group of 4 of us went to Sammy Joe's for the Prime Rib dinner. The food was excellent, the service was top notch with such a friendly & fun staff. The Carmel cheesecake was oh so yummy. We will be back soon to try the pizza bc that looked amazing as well!“

“After golf, 4 of us stopped by, sat at bar. Ricki took wonderful care of us, we had 2 meat loaf meals, 1 fish and chips, and a chicken rice bowl. All were delicious. Place was packed when we left, I would have to say mostly local folks who know a good place. One of our favorite places.“

“REVIEW VKI JAPANESE RESTAURANT
Today, 31 December 2025, my wife and I decided to have lunch at the Sakura Japanese restaurant in Colony Plaza, The Villages, Florida. We arrived at 1400 and there was a large number of people eating lunch, but seating remained available and our waiter soon appeared. We ordered a CocaCola and Green Tea while we perused the menu. My wife decided on the Tempura Bento box with pork katsu, while I chose the lunch combination of sushi and sashimi with salad and soup. We were both delighted! I found the sushi/sashimi combination to be delicious; more than I could comfortably eat after the salad with carrot-ginger dressing and clear soup. I took a taste of her pork katsu and found it surprisingly moist (much more moist and appealing than other Sakura restaurants here in The Villages). I was pleased that my tea was refilled on request.

(One interesting aside: My sashimi plate was decorated by a variety of fresh spice leaves and a mysterious nest of what appeared to be shredded daikon radish with a green glow emanating from within. The green glow turned out to be a small battery powered green LED for ambiance!) All in all, an appealing performance by this Sakura at Colony Plaza; we shall return“

“5+ stars to the City Fire restaurant and the amazing HOPE for a fantastic experience and great food. Our 14 year old Akita Wishy was warmly greeted and invited to join us at one of the outdoor patio tables. Hope was SO great with Wishy -- lots of water refills -- and finding out Hope loves dogs and that City Fire is so dog friendly just made our visit that much better. Oh and the French Dip and Burger we ordered were great -- and the Bourbon Sour -- perfect! We'll bring Wishy back for more fun soon -- and we'll be requesting one of Hope's tables for sure!“

“Great people at Bravo, we are always more than satisfied with everything they serve. I’m a New York Pizza guy and find Bravo to be close to some of my favorites back home. The complementary Garlic Knots with my first draft beer the best!!“

“Very good service and food!“

“Love it here! Grits are amazing!!!“

“Food is amazing. Staff is great! Mai Tais the best around. Def our go to place“

“We went to the Fiests Grande restaurant today (2-1-25). Somebody told the manager that my husband was stealing a cup that was on another table. My husband saw the cup and was showing me how cool it was (we are seniors and if my husband liked a cup that he saw he would have asked our server if the restaurant sold them, we do not have to steal. Nor were we dressed poorly.) So, the manager came over to us, and demanded to look in my husband's bag. I felt so bad for my husband! The look on his face! He was mortified! She did not find a cup, because my husband did not take anything. She embarrassed my husband and me in front of everyone. I approched the manager and told her she was out of line and she told me she had to protect her customers...well, my husband and I were also her customers, she didn't protect us from public humiliation! She also told me " I am Mexican, I know how it feels. I don't know what she meant by that. We will never visit that restaurant again, and probably won't go to Mt. Dora again either! Needless to say, our beautiful day was ruined.“

“I picked up three orders here for my family, and the place was bustling with people. I tried the sweet and sour chicken, while my mother enjoyed the beef and broccoli, and my father had the General Tso chicken. Everything was so good—fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. I especially recommend their homemade hot mustard, which is so much better than the typical packet version. Yes, they charge a dollar for a small cup, but it’s well worth it.
I regret not taking any pictures; it was just so busy that I didn’t even think of it. The family that runs this restaurant is always kind and efficient. Given how busy it was with people waiting for their food, I can tell they treat their customers well. They consistently serve quality food, and it’s clear they take pride in their work. I definitely plan to return and recommend this spot to anyone looking for tasty, reliable Chinese cuisine.“

“The food here was amazing—definitely the best Chinese I’ve had in Central Florida so far! The staff was very friendly and even served us at the table since we were dining in. I highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back whenever I’m near The Villages.“

“If you are dining. Ask for Christine. She will try her best to make it a great time.“

“buen cervicio delicioso la comida gracias“

“First time we went in to eat a pizza with our favorite topping caramelized onion and roasted red pepper 🌶️ it was absolutely amazing 💯 the next two times we went in and ordered it to go with the same toppings, but they do not load up on the toppings that you purchase if you’re taking it out and the crust is softer, I guess it depends on who is making them that day. Love the service though and decor 👍 just some advice when somebody orders toppings be a little bit more generous and make sure each piece of pizza has them on!“

“buen cervicio delicioso la comida gracias“

“First time here. Great dinner. However, we didn’t receive any bread after receiving our drinks. I asked the waitress for some and she brought 4 small breadsticks. Never mentioned that I would be charged $3!! Unreal. How cheap is this restaurant owner? His greed for my $3 just cost them soooo much more because I’ll never go back.“

“I wish I would’ve caught the servers name tonight but she was absolutely AMAZING!! Had the best personality and very attentive! You could tell she was very busy and looked as if she was the only server on the floor along with a bartender but she handled everything so well! Bartender also had a wrapped bar but was getting those drinks out FAST to tables! Food was also hot and so delicious!“

“Amber was very pleasant and attractive. 👏🏻thank you“
