This is the second time we were here and it has not changes. Of course, when it is great, how can it get better. The biscuits and sausage gravy were home made and tasty, along with the eggs and sausage links. My wife's eggs, bacon (crispy), toast and hash browns all cooked to order. Coffee was continuously refilled and service was prompt and friendly. read more

The Cottage Inn does a good job with basic breakfast items. Their food is served hot and the staff is quick on their feet. They are a busy restaurant and skilled at keeping up. On my last visit I ordered French toast with sausage and eggs. The French toast was firm with a soft center. It has a nice balance of vanilla and cinnamon without the taste of egg ....which I appreciated. read more

Cottage Inn Restaurant - Inside view. - Diners Near Me - Lady Lake, Florida

Got to love a Woman owned small business and urge you to support this fine establishment. Fifty years of Woman owned is an amazing accomplishment. Continuing our tour of "Old Geezer" breakfast spots and Cottage Inn does not disappoint. Lot's of old geezers hanging around getting the love and community that is so important. Super friendly service, great food, charming atmosphere. You won't find this at Denny's, Sambo's, Perkins or any other national chain. Check this lovely place out. read more

Great food, great staff, great prices. Everything I've tried has been excellent. Staff is amazing too

This is a mom and pop country restaurant. You get greeted as you come in with "Welcome! Have a seat wherever you like." Before you hardly get seated they are waiting to get your drink and give you a menu. Servers serve all tables and tips are shared equally. Only open until 2 pm. Breakfast specials listed on the board by service window. Breakfast ends at 11 am and then lunch again with specials listed on the board. Breakfast all day Saturday and Sunday. Food always hot and yummy no matter what you get. They have a large separate room which is great for meetings. Do we frequent this place a lot? Yes! lol read more

The only thing better than the freshly prepared food is the homegrown southern version of hospitality and great Service!

It's a small unassuming restaurant in a strip shopping center. I got the impression that there were mostly "regulars". I went there for breakfast but they don't serve breakfast after 11am A server dropped a creamer on the floor then picked it up & put it back with the others to be served to an unsuspecting diner. The coffee was very disappointing, more like dishwater.  I feel the coffee is over-priced at $3.15. Had to ask for a straw & extra napkins The utensils were filthy. They really need to invest in a new dish washer. My server was friendly & knowledgeable. I ordered a burger, my server didn't ask me how I wanted it cooked... She offered a coffee refill as I was getting up to leave. No desserts, odd.... read more

Inexpensive breakfast. Pretty much your basic breakfast food. Good service, is obvious why they expanded their space, they needed it

Nothing fancy, but consistently good food and great service! Portions are ample but not ridiculously huge, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Highly recommend. read more

The service is outstanding and the food is the best. Everyone works very hard and it shows. Someone is always going around with fresh coffee. As i stated the good is prepared well Compliments to the chef read more

Wifey loved her Apple Cinnamon Crepes. My bacon scramble was still steaming when the server put it down. This place is a tasty treat in a plain brown wrapper. Prices are fantastic and service was very attentive. read more

My friends from church and I dine at the Cottage Inn every Sunday after church. I also stop in on the way to local radio station WQBQ AM1410/FM95.1 on weekdays between *1300-1400hrs. The very sweet waitresses serve up beaming smiles with their charm, wit and fresh dishes straight from the kitchen. It's quite inexpensive, to boot! Tell'em "Afternoon Drive Time host Steve Beasley from "the Q sent ya!" They'll do ya right! *1pm-2pm read more

The Food was Awesome! Quick Service. And Very Friendly ladies. I definitely Recommend.

Very quaint breakfast location. Staff are great, very friendly. Prices can't be beat! Disappointed that they didn't have fresh fruit to offer as a side. read more

I consider this one of the "hidden gems" of restaurants around The Villages. The full parking lot and outside appearance gives the impression of the restaurant being very small. Inside there is very ample seating in a clean, simply decorated dining area. I also appreciated the good spacing between tables. The service folks were quick, efficient and friendly. I was surprised at how quickly we received our food. If you enjoy a local, down home restaurant, this is your place. I enjoyed a breakfast of two eggs, two pancakes and two sausage patties; all perfectly cooked for $9.95....... Coffee refills were offered as soon as my cup dropped near the half full mark. My only negative, you have to go up to the cash register to pay. I prefer to pay at the table. Really a matter of preference. I plan to return and try their lunch soon! read more

Worst breakfast I've had anywhere and i love to eat breakfast out. Under cooked omlet..like it was on the grill for 1 minute. Unedible, took it home to cook it. Waste of $13 $. read more

Cottage Inn Restaurant - Private dinning room available upon request! - Diners Near Me - Lady Lake, Florida

With the possible exception of Cracker Barrel give me a hole in the wall place for breakfast anytime. The Mrs and I met some friends here for breakfast and it's a nice little joint. The service is friendly enough and the food comes out quickly. I did ding them a couple of stars. They lost one star because it's quality while acceptable is not in the five star hole in the wall category, they lost another star because they're so damn cheap about stuff. I ordered the chicken fried steak, eggs, grits, and a biscuit for $8 a fair enough price. But there wasn't enough gravy to cover the entire steak, when I asked for some more they said they would have to charge me. What? But my steak wasn't completely covered even when I spread it out. Now clearly restaurants have to watch their cost but I was short changed on gravy and no southern gentleman will stand for such a thing. Overall the food was hot and tasty so I'll eat there again but how about a little more gravy next time guys. read more

Good American menu, friendly staff, good service, reasonably priced. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting good food and friendly atmosphere read more

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel when we asked for a place where the locals go for brunch. It was very conveniently located near our hotel also so that was a plus. We were greeted right away and directed to our table. I couldn't help to notice all of the pretty fall decorations everywhere. Our very friendly server Michelle, took our order and the food was promptly served. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back when we are in the area. read more

Moved here 1 year ago. We finally stopped in and tried Cottage Inn. My wife and I were very pleased with the kindness of the wait staff. The food was freshly cooked. Very pleased. We actually are heading there right now. Thanks for being a friendly place to eat. read more

Tried out this quaint restaurant for breakfast today. It was a hit with both of us. My friend had eggs over, hash browns and ham w/toast. I had scrambled eggs, 3 bacon and 2 pancakes. All were delicious with great service and refills on the drinks. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

Went on a Sunday for lunch was handed menu. Looking forward to a burger. Lo and behold they only do breakfast and cold sandwiches, no burgers it messes up the grill. So my companions had lunch, I had coffee. Ridiculous read more

Ate here for first time. Waitstaff knew everyone that walked in and what they liked to eat. Over medium eggs were perfect as well as the French toast. Chicken fried steak was a bit salty, but sausage gravy was just right. Can't wait to try some of the lunch items. Hash browns were not greasy or salty. Coffee was also above average. read more

Food was hot and order was just the way we ordered it. Service was great. Being from Seattle even their coffee was good.

What began as a somewhat successful mom/pop operation for many years ended in late 2007 when the NEW ASIAN owners took over. Simple table fare with meat n taters simplicity...The Old Owners had their own spin on the menu which lent a more "homey" taste...several item were made from scratch - including the absolutely delicious cornbread! Now, everything's about the CHEAPEST way it can be prepared, typical. Breakfasts remain somewhat busy and they should @ $1.49 for 2 eggs and toast. Whats hard to swallow, is the bitter coffee @$1.50...Restaurant-supplier toast slices, so tiny you have to look for them...Eggs tasted of rancid grease. Then the waitress tried to stiff me for $5 at the register. read more

Incredibly fast service. We arrived with the restaurant almost full and still got our order without having to wait. Everything came out hot and full of flavor. read more

Cottage Inn Restaurant - Seating is ample! - Diners Near Me - Lady Lake, Florida

Food has cheap ingredients. Service is poor. Had to ask for coffee refills after being ignored.

Would've been better off going to McDonald's. Asked for hash browns extra crispy, got to the table and they were almost all white. Asked the server to take them back and have them done as requested and they said itll be another 15 minutes. Asked to talk to a manager and they said the owner was in the kitchen and never came out. At least McDonald's fixes their mistakes!!! read more
