Sawgrass Tavern

My Five stars is for Riley! What a Gem of employee! Riley was so professional, very attentive and just on top of everything at the bar! Despite how busy she was especially after the entertainment started outside, she kept up with the crafting of drinks, cashing out diners who finished and refilling our drinks. She never lost her cool or her concentration! I am allowing myself to for a raise and a promotion from FMK for Riley! The food was nicely prepared, and I will allow myself to make one comment about the spinach dip and how I would prefer it to be served with chips instead of the buttered bread if I may! Keep up the good work Riley and when we come back we will be back because of you! Thank you for such great service.

We had a great experience dining here! The food was absolutely delicious — everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can tell the kitchen really cares about quality. Eli L. was an amazing server and made the whole experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. He gave great recommendations and kept everything running smoothly. Between the fantastic food and Eli’s excellent service, this was a truly enjoyable meal. We’ll definitely be coming back and would love to be served by Eli again! Highly recommend!

OMG ~ we’re visiting The Villages and of all the restaurants we tried this was the hands down winner. There are a lot of great comfort foods on the menu. I tried the corned beef and cabbage which was out of this world. Although every restaurant seems to have ruebens these days, Sawgrass Tavern’s smokes the rest. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice as well.

My friend and I went on a Tuesday night. Atmosphere was great and felt authentic. Food was really good. Service was friendly (i think her name was Max? She was a short woman) overall it was a very pleasant experience

I spent somewhere around three hours of my day at Sawgrass Tavern‘s and I not only enjoyed the atmosphere, but also my server was very welcoming consistent and intensive on all of my dishes in service needed within that timeframe, beyond great service is the best I can put it. Her name is Julia and I would recommend others to come to this establishment but also I will be a long-term customer going forward because of Julia.
