I'm surprised Bluefin wasn't even on your list. It's my favorite Villages restaurant. We've eaten there many times and never been disappointed DELICIOUSNESS!

Hello! We only did the top five from the places we have currently been to. We have not been to Bluefin yet but since you say it is great, we will put it on the list of place to try! Thanks for watching!

Hands down the best restaurant, and value, in The Villages is Sakura, a Japanese restaurant with some of the freshest Japanese food we have ever had. Their bento box lunches are so good and for $15 are impossible to beat. Try it.

Do you follow The Village’s Newcomers “, Linda & Jerry ? They are fantastic and provide excellent information about life in the villages . You can always learn a lot from their comment section . I live in Jupiter and my brother lives in the villages .. l just found this young couple ( on this video ) and they do an excellent job with the village’s restaurants ( even if l don’t always agree ) … The Flying Biscuit does have incredible grits . If you like your biscuits a bit more baked .. just ask the waitress and she will look for a browner biscuit.

I love watching all of your videos. I had a feeling about your Number one and I was correct!

My wife was a very good cook, a gourmet cook but she always made me make waffles. Everyone likes them and I don’t know why. A friend’s wife wanted the recipe. I said it on the Bisquick box and the only thing I do different is add 2 eggs instead of 1 then add pecans to the batter. The second egg makes it stand up better and Fluffier. That’s all I do differently.

Great video! We enjoyed seeing you in this format. We agree on the Flying Biscuit …. biscuit! 🤔 McGrady’s would not have made our top 20 but that is probably because we are British 🇬🇧 🤣🤣 Cannot wait to go to Roberto’s in a couple of weeks so thanks for that review. Have a great long weekend!

I know i already have commented on this older video, on The Flying Biscuit is my home for breakfast.

Hello! A couple things: 1) This video is labeled our top 5 restaurants. With that being said, these are the ones that we enjoy. Everyone is free to choose their own top 5; those may be different than ours, which is totally fine! Everyone has a right to their own favorites. 2) Our top five consists of only the places we have filmed and been to. If you have followed our channel for a little while, you can see that there is not a video at a country club, Nancy Lopez CC, or Prima Italian Steakhouse. So those wouldn't be included. 3) Roberto's is an authentic Italian restaurant that many people told us to go to. Once we went, it was amazing. After posting this video, we can say that a large number of viewers agreed and also have gone, based off of this recommendation, and have greatly enjoyed it. With that being said, we appreciate the support and the views and everyone is free to decide what place is their favorite! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the compliment! As far as the audio goes, we both are using a mic on the table and have spoken with several people who have said the audio sounded great and they could hear us loud and clear. A solution for you to try would be to try it on another device. On our end, our volume levels are high and even in our editing software, our voices are equally picked up so we would recommend making sure your volume is up all the way and try another device.
