Applebee’s 441 Villages
I dined inside. Pretty good size restaurant and maybe six tables were occupied. They brought my place setting on a plate: knife, fork, spoon and napkins. I was asked to take them off of the tray. Interesting they took my drink order, it came on a tray. I had coffee. You take your own coffee off the tray. They take your order when they serve you. They never touch anything you are using to eat or your food.
I had fish. It was good and plentiful, fries, coleslaw which was tasty. The fish looked deep fried which is not my choice of how I like fish but it was good, a little cocktail sauce and I had a nice lunch.

I have been informed that Sweet Tomato is closing for good. They will be missed. Their food was good, healthy and moderately priced. They always took part in community events. Again I say they will be missed!

It is reported that Katie Belle’s will not reopen after the COVID-19 closure. They were known for their great food and great entertainment. The Village people will miss her!

Arby’s
I was disappointed to find Arby’s took their Fish Sandwich off their menu. I called Corporate and complained. That was my favorite Fast Food Sandwich. You know I saw a lot of ads on TV about their 2 for $6 fish sandwich. You promote the heck out of a product then say we don’t have it any more. Maybe the fish come from China?

The Blue Gator: Dunnellon Florida on the river. We decided after working all day to go out to eat. After being seated I spotted something on the menu. Peal and eat steam shrimp 1 lb . Yummm, they were delicious. I ate my fill and took some home for lunch the next day. It was a good experience and no one had to do dishes. They also have on Tuesday night $.50 wings. YES, will go back.
