“Love this place!! For three years now we have become "snow birds" This is the first place we visit on every return!! Very hard to find awesome atmosphere, good food, and friendly attentive staff!! In the Villages, most everything is a chain! Shucks will not disappoint if your looking for simplicity :)“
“Recently, my husband and I visited The Villages to see friends whom we've missed since moving to the Dallas area 3 years ago.I planned a surprise birthday party for him while there and wanted it catered by a restaurant I knew I could count on for quality food. We're very familiar with the restaurants in The Villages as we lived there for 8 years. He was a pleasure to work with while planning this remotely. He sent me texts with pictures of the food he suggested and wanted to ensure that I was happy with the selections. We decided to have heavy appetizers such as seafood stuffed mushrooms, shrimp cocktail, Italian Rice Balls, Italian Trio ( fried ravioli, zuchinni fries, and marinara) Charcuterie Board, Bruschetta, and Stromboli. He also reassured me that there would be enough food for everyone, and he was "spot on" about what to order - all finger foods and had it delivered on time! I wouldn't hesitate to call on Roberto again and highly recommend him to anyone who enjoys good Italian food!“

“Our favorite place to eat lunch and dinner.Food is always delicious and the service is excellent. Our waiter this time was Gifroy and he was top notch! It was Valentine's Day so he had a red blazer with a red tie. Aubrey the manager came by our table and we told her we liked Gifroy's jacket n tie and he was excellent. She said Gifroy wears a different jacket for each holiday! Thank you for making our Valentine lunch extra special.“
“Just spent 4 days at tracys Point. Had a wonderful time fishing from the dock and Shane took me out on the boat for 4 hour hours fishing. Didn't catch any monsters but had a great time. I would highly recomend them to anyone. I will return in the future.“
“Gorgeous little locally owned Seafood restaurant. A little upscale. The staff were amazing. Everyone was friendly with a big smile. The scenery was nice with natural colors and saltwater decor. The food was priced very reasonably. The portion sizes were much smaller than comparable restaurants, but the prices reflected the difference. The drinks were well prepared and suggested by the staff. The crab stuffed shrimp was good, but it tasted almost commercialized, and the alfredo sauce didn't pair well with it, in my opinion. The fried rice was a bit too lemony for our liking. The asparagus and creamed spinach were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a nice dinner but not sure I'd recommend it as the best place around.“
“I came to the villages for summer break & I couldn’t stop visiting this restaurant! Their portions were big and their prices were relatively cheap. I don’t typically leave reviews but I had their Açaí bowls for breakfast & their poke bowls for lunch almost every day so I felt like it was well deserved. The staff was also nice & I even saw the owner come in to talk with customers. Would definitely recommend (especially to other broke college kids)“
“My first visit here. It was fabulous!!. I had the first nuggets. They were hot, tender, and so very tasty. The hummus is made fresh and seasoned to perfection. The owner and staff are very friendly with exciting personalities. I definitely highly recommend this restaurant.“
“Wonderful old Florida charm. We have been to this restaurant probably 20 times and it always has been good, really good.The latest visit was a completely different experience. Maybe a new chef? A new food vendor? It went from a five star experience on food to a two. We will give it another try, but if it’s the same, it will be our last time there.“
“I just went to catfish Johnny's for lunch.First time ever. The meal was delicious and plentiful.The staff was great. Your meals are perfectly done and delivered piping hot.I'll certainly be dining there again.Thank you all for the delicious meal.“
“Lindsey was our waitress today. She made our visit so special. So much attention and she was fun and funny. Hope we get her next time.Food was awesome. Sat outside. Took Lindsey's recommendations and glad we did on the fish entries.Really made our occasion special.Probably the best service I have had in 5 years or more.I highly recommend Blue Fin for a wonderful lunch or night out in The Villages.She even brought us a sample fries and sauce she had made up for us. No charge.Thx Lindsey and Blue Fin. Appreciate the amazing service we received.“
“It was a littke bit loud and difficult to hear but otherwise everything was perfect. Our server, Via, was especially attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. 2 managers stopped by our table while we were there to ask if everything was alright. My mom was in a wheelchair and they accommodated her effortlessly. We will be back!“
“We had a small gathering of friends at the new Harvest Restaurant in The Villages, Brownwood to be exact. We were seated in a small private room off the main dining area. There were eight of us, Misty took care of our table.As a waitress she got everything correct, including billing at the end of a three and a half hour meal.I enjoyed the squash soup prior to a main course meal of scallops and risotto. I paid for three meals, my wife's, my own and a dear friend. Our bill came out to $130 dollars with 4 alcoholic drinks. With tip we walked out 153 dollars lighter but a little heavier from the delicious food.We gave the Harvest Restaurant a 5 star rating due to the ambience and the service, food was excellent with no complaints from our large group.I have added some food photos.“
“I was there with a group of women for brunch. The buffet is great. The service was excellent. Mimosas come with brunch.Parking: I had no problem finding a parking spot. Snowbird season has ended. I can't imagine what it would have been like during their season.“
“I had grilled rainbow trout and corn/clam chowder. They were excellent! I was with a party of 5, including 2 in mid eighties, 2 in mid 70s and one in mid 60s. Wilson, the server, was so kind and patient. Others who brought the food out were equally attentive. We had a wonderful dining experience.“

“The outdoor bar has plenty of seating but is close to other tables. I enjoyed that because it allowed me to socialize with others easily! The water view is an added bonus. Jersey Frank was the musician, and he played a wide variety of upbeat familiar songs. It was very enjoyable! On both visits, the food was good, but the service was top-notch!“
“Found my spot. Been living here 3 yrs and craving good Chinese food. So glad I tried them. Was so tired of eating Chinese food that taste like Spanish food SMH. Good portions also and I was extremely full afterwards. Front counter lady was very courteous and helpful. I'll be returning...and spreading the word!“
“We stopped in at 1:30, with a party of 7 and Zander greeted us and welcomed us in! We apologized and said we would leave since they close at 2 but he was glad to have us. We ordered different types of sandwiches, mild and hot wings, baked chicken, and a taco salad, all the food was fresh, hot, and delicious!! Zander was back constantly to check on us and top off all our drinks. The restaurant was clean and neat, Zander was an excellent greeter and waiter, and the food was amazing! Highly recommend stopping here! We will all be back anytime we are in that area.Parking: They have a large lot and plenty of spaces.Wheelchair accessibility: Right at the front door and easy to access.“
“Love Carrabba's! Jen E. At the bar is our favorite server. She is the cornerstone of the bar. Always on top of everything with a beautiful smile, 5 stars too boot!!!.

“Greeted by manager and a server upon walking in: ✓Friendly server is at out table in less than one minute:✓Drinks brought back promptly:✓Food arrives in about 10 minutes and is perfect:✓Not once did we have to wait for refills or anything else we asked for:✓ A great lunch. 5 stars.Went back recently for Thursday special, scallops & shrimp. Service was fine but the quality of the seafood has changed. Definitely farm raised. A little bland.“
“¡DELICIOSO! The service and food come with smiles and birthdays areso much fun as well!! This is onehappy place to enjoy the wonderful"Taco Tuesdays" too!! I could eat here daily. An abundance of lipsmacking choices and chips galore!The "breezes of the sea" is a truejewel. You won't be disappointed!!“
“This place is good, it was an enjoyable meal. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great portion sizes and big menu. I don't know if I would recommend it as there are better Mexican restaurants nearby but if someone asked if I wanted to get together and eat here I would say yes.My only complaint was that I ordered fajitas, which was a huge portion, and it only came with 3 tortillas. Once I ate those 3 tortillas and still had food remaining I asked for more tortillas. The waiter brought me 3 more and I was able to fill 2 of them with the rest of the food I had. But when I got my bill I saw I was charged $1.99 for the 3 extra tortillas. This is the first time I've ever been charged for extra tortillas at a Mexican restaurant. I could understand if maybe I didn't eat them or asked in advance, but I ate them and needed them to finish the food I ordered.“
