Akish suggested the pad thai with a little twist; add capers and mushrooms and sub the shrimp for blackened chicken. With a splash of Mike in top, the flavor profile pops off and it's amazing. Kudos to the chef, this is first time my main focus wasn't on the protein. The noodles and flavors are amazing. The staff is great and the golf course views never hurt! read more

Boosters Bar And Grill - Pad Thai sub shrimp for blackened chicken, add mushrooms and capers. Sorry for the pic, I dug in before I remembered to snap a photo. - Sports Bars Near Me - The Villages, Florida

Our first visit to Boosters Bar & Grill was a fantastic experience! The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I chose to sit outside since it was such a beautiful, less humid day. Our server, Jermaine, was attentive, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were outstanding. The shrimp were plentiful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The combination of feta, onion, and light seasoning complemented the shrimp without overpowering the flavor. My husband ordered the Big League Meatball Sub, and it was a big hit! The meatballs were flavorful, smothered in marinara sauce, and topped with Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. The toasted roll held together perfectly, making it easy to enjoy every bite. For our side, we chose the Sidewinder Fries. At first, we had to ask where our fries were because we didn't realize the curled potatoes in front of us were them--but wow, they were incredible! The Sidewinder Fries were the best, and we'll definitely be ordering them every time. We're already looking forward to coming back! read more

Management was incredibly helpful and proactive, even after a small glitch. That's how I judge great service -- they stepped up without hesitation. And the food? This is my favorite hamburger place around. The ingredients are top‑notch. The cheese is real quality -- you can see it in the melt and taste it in every bite. The beef was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My mother‑in‑law absolutely loved the huge piece of fish in the fish and chips. They don't skimp. Someone please challenge me and tell me where to find a better burger in The Villages. read more

Yesterday our 20 year old and I had a nice lunch. I had the shrimp tacos with fries, and once again, it's a dish I just love. Those pickle onions really add a nice pop. I also reordered the strawberry lemonade basil mocktail. So refreshing. read more

This was my first time visiting Boosters, and what a great experience! I came with friends for lunch, and we were all impressed with their excellent service and food. There are ample televisions spread around the restaurant, but we also enjoyed the view of the golf course. My burger was prepared just as I ordered (medium) and their sweet potato wedges were crispy and delicious. We noticed there were many diners who were there before us and still enjoying themselves when we left -- Boosters is clearly a neighborhood favorite for enjoying the ambiance, food, and drinks. Our server was very welcoming, and I highly recommend stopping by when you're in the area! read more

The service is excellent, and the food is absolutely delicious. It has more of a sports-bar atmosphere, but with an upscale feel. The appetizers are very generous, and the managers and staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Overall, it's a great place with fantastic food and wonderful service. read more

EDIT: Since I posted this glowing review almost a year ago, the food and service has gone downhill. My Mahi tacos were "finger food sized' that looked like a meal for a hobbit. No chips, no extra sauce. And the worst part: our overworked server seemed to abandon us after we finished. She sheepishly said she'd been taking care of outside tables. It's sad to see a restaurant cut back so much, it's almost like they're asking for people to stay away. Oh....and the "Toast" frequent dining app is no longer accepted. No more!!! I'm taking my dining dollars elsewhere. Near the new neighborhoods of Moultrie Creek and Shady Brook, this sports bar and grill is in a great location poised for huge growth. We chose to sit outside on the soft opening. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The menu is varied with many selections. I had the triple cheeseburger. It tasted awesome. My side salad was perfect. My Wife had the Cobb Salad and became concerned her chicken wasn't cooked enough. She ate the greens out of it and left the rest. I'd prefer my beer come in a chilled mug. It didn't. We plan to return to try other menu items. For a soft opening review, I think they did well. read more

We come here often and we both ordered Strawberry Walnut salad, it's absolutely the best. Our server Krystal was very attentive, provided us with whatever was asked . Also, the Manager "Cameron" came by to ask if all was food & service was good. Bonus: Monday they have entertainment after 5p, "Jayce" plays guitar and sings!! read more

We visited here twice in the past and ended up leaving both times without ordering- the vibe was just off. Our family had given us a gift card so we decided with new owners, that we should give it a try. Let me tell you- the new owners have turned this place around! I mean service was great and the food was fresh and fantastic. We had an overall really great experience. We're from Ohio, so we love our pizza- this will be our go to. It's Detroit style and amazing! This will be our go to spot from now on. read more

We have been here before, but now a new management group, Sulemann Family Group, is operating the restaurant, we needed to try it. It was a bit warm out, but not so much at-hat we could enjoy a rain storm off in the distance,ant, watching lightning bolts afar and a few golfers drive by was a good choice. Destiney, our server approached and smiled while she asked for beverage order, and off she went to beat the happy hour limit. Of course my soda, needed up being more than the beer my spouse ordered, but I did get free refills. When Destiny returned, she explained a few menu items and i]my wife ordered the glazed salmon and I had fish and chips. They were a little pricey, but when you have a promo coupon, it's all good. The salmon was cooked perfectly with green bean side and mashed potatoes. My fish was lightly battered, with coleslaw, friy slices (potatoes) and tartar sauce. As said before, Destiny bro7my soda refill just as I was finishing the first glass. Nice move. Plenty of tv's in the rest to watch lots of sports, but the patio is a bit quieter and great views of nature. read more

Great food and atmosphere! And they accommodate dogs on the outside patio area. Awesome!

Tonight's experience was better than visits in the past. While still relatively new and working out some kinks, it is getting better as time goes on. Our men's golf group (approx 18 of us!) enjoyed a dinner with laughs, good service and good food. Candace our server was attentive, patient, friendly all while taking care of our large group and several tables outside. Typical sports bar pub food with several items unique and delicious. Will give this place another try as in the past the service has been hit or miss. Not tonight! read more

Great burgers and top notch service. Will definitely go back. Just wish they were open later.

Was visiting family this week in FL, my parents wanted to bring me to Boosters. Walked in and the place was clean. Our server Krystal was amazing, told me about her favorite items on the menu and we tried all of them. She knew a lot about the menu, bar menu and the surrounding area of FL. I told her what kind of mixed drinks I enjoy and told her to surprise me with one; the drink she brought me was delicious and I had 3 of them! Krystal was kind, funny and made the experience 10x better! She provided such good service that I asked her what other days she would be working- my sister and I came back on her next shift. Looking forward to coming back next time I visit FL and hopeful Krystal will still be working! read more

Very disappointed today in the BOGO fajitas. We were here about 4 weeks ago and the steak meat was delicious. Today the meat was thin and on my plate there was a big glob of meat that wasn't even cut into strips. It looked so unappetizing. We showed it to our server,but he didn't seem to care. We will not be back for this special again. It started out as a nice weekly BOGO but now the quality has been changed. read more

Came here for lunch. Inside the waiting area is "stadium seating" which look really uncomfortable if you have a long wait for a table. Inside Dining area looks a bit small with the majority of the seating Outside and a view of the course. Reservations can be made on their website which are probably recommended as this is a new and only open restaurant in the area. Ordered the Guinness & Bacon Jam Cheeseburger and Tater Tots. I ordered no bun but was clearly ignored and served on a bun also ordered it medium- well and the burger was served medium. The Burger did not have a good texture as it fell apart trying to eat and the Bacon Jam was not good. I would not order this burger again. All the burgers are served with one side even though the menu does not indicate this, my server said that it was omitted at the time the menu was printed and the restaurant did not want to re-print 1000 menus. I would probabley try a different entree next time. Keep in mind this a sport bar type restaurant and not fine dining. read more

First visit to Booster's located close to Middleton. Friendly staff as we arrived. No wait as it was a late lunch on a Thursday. Sport themed atmosphere. Sat inside since it was a warm day. They do have outdoor seating with a nice view. Something for everyone on the menu. Started with Onion Rings. Delicious! So excited that I didn't get a picture until there was only one left! I chose a Ginger Chicken Chopped Salad. Fresh and tasty. Would definitely order again. Dining companions enjoy the Fish Tacos and the Chicken Sandwich. Service was attentive yet unobtrusive. Will definitely return! read more

We visited Boosters for the first time on Monday afternoon. The restaurant was clean and the AC was pumping (doing its job in the FL sun). We're hopeful when the water arrived with a twirly pick on the lemon (fancy!). Had the Philly sandwich (8/10) good flavor but not a huge amount of meat. Chicken strips had great crust, fresh, with a slight pickle taste. (Good, but we don't care for pickles.) Star of the meal, sidewinder fries. Would order those again! Service was a bit slow but the server was very kind. Would go again if a group suggested. Want to try their salad and onion rings-looked good on another table. Pro: food fresh and hot Con: slow to get our check after we finished meal *Its the "slow season" here in The Villages, so may be short staffed *When did the auto tip options change to 20%, 25%, 30%? (Or am I just cheap and miss it?) I always tip well but based on service. I don't like being pushed to tip more!! read more

Love this place. It felt festive, walking in. I think the place had a hundred TV's. Food was awesome and Jess, our server, was a natural. She was helpful, recommended a beer for a tablemate and she was not shy about sharing her stories! I hope we get her again on our next visit. We shared the shrimp appetizer and ordered burgers. Delicious!!!! The manager stopped by and introduced himself. Such a nice touch. I can't wait to come back. read more

The outdoor patio is one of my favorites in The villages. We were hoping to sit at the outside bar, but that was closed for the season. This was my third time going there and probably my best food experience. I got a Caesar salad, which was great. Also, got fries and tater tots. Tater tots were better than the fries. My friend got chicken fajitas and she really enjoyed her meal. They do have an outdoor fly issue and have spinning fly fans available to set at your table. Really wish they had more vegetarian options like a vegetarian burger. Not crazy about the vegetarian sandwich. Wanted to try the vegetarian hotdog, but heard it was just heated up and not placed on a grill or in a pan to fry/crisp it up so didn't get that. Forgot to take pictures of the beginning of our meal. read more

Boosters is exactly what a great local restaurant should be. The wings are excellent with outstanding flavor, and the food overall is consistently great. Customer service really stands out -- the manager was walking around checking on tables, which you don't see often anymore. The place was clean, well run, and had a true hometown feel. Comfortable atmosphere, great food, and people who actually care. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

Fun Sports bar, beautiful outside seating with a view. Inside TV with plenty of TVs for watching the big games. We ordered a few draft beers cold and delicious. They have a pretty decent beer selection. While I didn't order wine, I did peruse the wine menu and it is also pretty good with reasonable prices. As this was our first time here we chose the Game combo with a variety of starters. The onions rings were perfect, light batter, crispy fried all came off in one bite. The chicken tenders were also great battered cooked perfectly moist and juicy. There were stuffed potato skins on the plate and we enjoyed them as well. We ordered the wings grilled. They actually were cold when we were served them not really seasoned well. We will definitely go back, just won't order the wings. Shout out to our server Malia (hope I spelt that right). She was spot on read more

Was not able to order any food as service was slow and unorganized. Came to sit down at our table than 2 other tables who sat after us were waited on first and served first.

I have always found this place to be inconsistent. Often they are understaffed and over worked. This leads to avoidable mistakes.

Create food, great service, and great atmosphere! We have eaten there several times and will continue to go back. Have not had any bad service in the outdoor patio is a great vibe overlooking the golf course. read more

The service is just incredible at this restaurant. There is always a manager on duty wandering around making sure everything is great! We really enjoyed sitting on the patio the other day even though it was hot. The multiple fans throughout the patio were incredible! read more

Great quality food and an extensive menu. I ate here before under different ownership and the new owners have ramped up the menu and service. Portion sizes were great. Food was served hot with steam coming off the Philly cheesesteak halfway through eating. read more

Great place with wonderful views of Shallow Creek Golf course. Sit in the patio under fans or inside at the bar and get great service from Cameron! On our first visit we had the meatloaf sandwich and burger. Both were excellent. The second time we had Thai chili Parmesan wings and they were the best I've ever had. We also split a Philly cheesesteak that was excellent! Bartenders are friendly and great to talk to, especially Cameron. read more

2nd time I've been here. The first time the hamburger and flat bread was horrible. Decided to give them another chance. Ordered a meatloaf dinner and got a meatball sandwich. Had ordered takeout so ate it anyway. It wasn't good. Also ordered the nachos. Worst nachos I've had from anywhere. read more

SERVICE : 5 STARS Mandy did an excellent job at service. FOOD: 3 STARS The bbq burger and Chicago dog were good enough. I knew this was not a bargain joint or a 5 Star Michelin joint before I came, so expectations met on pricing and quality. AMBIENCE: 4 STARS Open, room to move, looked like it would be a good place to have a few drinks, lots of natural light. ABUNDANT FLIES: 1 STAR There are no screens separating the interior portion of this establishment from the outside. As a result, there were constant flies on everything at our interior table. The pic I attach shows only one as it seemed like when I lifted the camera up they mostly took off. Trust me when I tell you there were maybe 5 at all times. I have no axe to grind with whoever owns this place and did not visit it to write a hit piece, but flies on the flatware and everything else is gross, and not to be expected when dining inside. HEAVY IRRIGATION MIST ON PATIO: 1 STAR We initially asked to be seated outside as the temperatures were nice. Sadly, even though we were sort of in the central part of the patio, the irrigation water was misting all over us, and we had to move inside. I do not know how common it is for those high volume sprinklers to be running, when the prevailing wind is blowing towards Boosters. All I know is that it was doing it when we were there. One woman closer to the railing than us was holding up a linen napkin to shield herself from it. She and her party did not move though. If she knew what I know, she would have. The irrigation water in the southern part of The Villages is NOT the same as the water that comes out of the drinking taps. It is "reclaimed" from road runoff or barely strained aquifer water. I just cleaned my irrigation filter this morning, removing green stench scum. Trust me, you do not want this water on your face, your lips, your flatware, the hands you grip the burger with. We were getting steadily more moist as we sat perusing the menu, would have been out and out wet had we stayed in those seats. Maybe this is a rare event, as The Villages is still dumping water post hurricane. So one and done for me, but maybe a good place to come with the lads after golfing. read more
