Everything came out awful. Nearly inedible. Have no idea what went wrong but something did. Worst meal out my wife and I have had - maybe ever. Atmosphere is nice but it's just not worth it. Skip it.

Stopped here after a Sunday morning golf match with a neighbors couple for a late breakfast. Served…read moreuntil noon and it was only 11 AM. Vickie was our server and was prompt and efficient with taking orders, keeping our beverages full and serving us with a friendly smile and demeanor. The only small glitch was the biscuits and gravy was a bit salty and not the best tasting in my opinion. Seemed they used a different recipe from what I am familiar with. The sausage served with another breakfast was somewhat dry also. Overall good service but just ok food. We will return for another try in a few weeks

Food continues to be good at Thai Ruby. It's our only option for Thai in the Villages,…read moreunfortunately. My three star rating has to do with the ever increasing prices and ever decreasing menu options and ingredients. They used to have some good vegetarian appetizers like summer rolls, but those disappeared from the menu. Thai Ruby has done this ever since COVID and it's absurd. I was shocked to get two lunch items that jumped from the $18 menu price to $22 just for adding vegetables. That's over $50 for lunch, which is not ok in any reality. If we were people who didn't leave the bubble, I suppose we'd put up with this. Since we travel quite frequently, however, we will save our craving for Thai food for elsewhere. Why don't other Thai restaurants open somewhere close? There's definitely a market for them. If I choose to eat here, I'll limit it to their defined lunch items only.

After not eating here for quite some time, I thought I would give it another shot…read more Many of the appetizers are around $12, a Thai tea is $9 and Tom Kha Gai soup for two is $13.99. Tonight we ordered the Panang Curry with chicken for $18.00. The dinner entree comes with zucchini and red peppers. I explained that I can't eat peppers and politely asked if they could substitute broccoli or green beans. I was told they can't make any substitutions and could only provide extra zucchini. Why??? The soup was served warm, almost room temp, and the portion is small considering the size of the bowl. The curry was served with an extremely small portion of rice, about the size of an ice cream scoop. About halfway through the dinner, the server returned to check on us and I asked for more rice. When the bill arrived, I noticed a separate $4 charge for jasmine rice. At no point did the server mention there would be an extra charge. I could buy a whole bag of rice for that price! I brought it to the manager's attention and was told that it's considered a side dish and the price is listed on the menu. Unfortunately, we were not offered a menu after ordering and nobody verbally advised us that it would be an extra charge. Charging $4 for a small scoop of rice, without informing the customer beforehand, feels excessive and misleading. The food may be good, but between the high prices, refusal to accommodate a simple vegetable substitution and unexpected charges, the overall experience simply does not sit well with us. Their high prices, small portions, lack of flexibility and transparency has become frustrating enough that we will not be returning.

The bar itself is located in the lobby of the Brownwood Hotel in The Villages, Florida. A small bar that has limited seating, but the food was good and the drinks were delicious.

We've all had cheesesteak subs that might have had a bit of gristle. It's steak. Meat has gristle, but this sub had it throughout. It was horrible. I was so disappointed - I really wanted to take it back, and ask someone from the kitchen to take a bite. But, alas.... As someone who eats cheesesteak subs, I'm pretty lazy, so I just spit out the gross part and kept eating it. But then I thought I would write a review on Yelp about how bad it was. Ya know, like a lazy person. On a bright note, the pizza was outstanding. Stick with the deluxe pizza w/extra cheese, and you'll be happy. To the Marcos management team.... You should really think hard about offering such a sub par cheesesteak sub. Maybe switch to minute steaks, or a better cut of beef that is all meat. Just my two cents. Or, just stick to pizza. You do that VERY well. Stop trying to be all things to everyone. Focus on your core competency- Fast fresh great tasting pizza!

First thing we get to the plates, well some were not clean? in fact the first 6 we looked at , then we get to the lettuce and some of that didn't look too fresh but for the most part the rest of the salad bar was good, there is a lot to choose from. Our service was very good Brittany was our waitress and very nice and attentive, I did inform her about the plates. The inside was pretty nice too, I only gave a three because plates should be clean. I might go again just to see if it's better next time. I did take pics. The dishes toward the back side were the dirty ones!

Instead of taking up a whole table, I opted to sit at the bar and brought a book to read with me. The restaurant, to my surprise, was busier than I expected. I sat down at the bar next to a nice gentleman and lady working on her computer down the row. I was greeted by the waitress who offered me a drink right away. Since it was a Tuesday, I opted for a Shirley Temple. It was actually pretty good. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered the soup, salad, and breadsticks. My order came out pretty quickly, and the pasta figioli was just as I expected. The dressing on the salad was cold and delicious. And who's going to ever complain about their breadsticks? All in all, really great experience. Highly recommend hitting the Olive Garden if you're in the villages and want a classic, italian meal.

It was good but I wish they stated it was in a pizza crust. Hubby loved it so no big deal. Here's what happened. While cutting the caesar salad (although I ordered Italian) a waitress said oh I gave you the wrong pizza. I said well you can't serve it now. She handed me my pizza and I kept the mistake pizza too. Mistakes happen so no big deal but I would not want to be served a pizza that was given to someone else. Anyways pizza is top notch!! We will totally go again and try the full size pizza.
