OnlyVillages.com is a local guide documenting dining, events, and everyday life in The Villages. We regularly visit local restaurants, photograph dishes when appropriate, and publish informational listings and articles focused on accuracy and real experiences.
This page explains how restaurant coverage works and what restaurant owners and managers can expect.
What We Cover
OnlyVillages focuses on locally owned and regional restaurants in and around The Villages, including Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing, Brownwood, Sawgrass Grove, Eastport, and nearby corridors.
Coverage may include new openings, established favorites, and notable changes. All content is editorial in nature and based on what we observe during visits.
Photography
Photos on OnlyVillages may include finished menu items, bar or dining spaces, and exterior signage.
When possible, we photograph dishes during normal dining visits. Some restaurants choose to host us for a meal in exchange for photography, while others are photographed during regular visits.
Participation is always optional, and photography is kept brief and unobtrusive.
What OnlyVillages Does Not Do
- Paid advertising packages
- Guaranteed placement or rankings
- Sponsored or promotional language
- Review scores or star ratings
Our goal is to document the local dining scene as it exists — not to sell marketing services.
