Havana Country Club Lunch Review: Big Plates and Crisp Wings

Our recent Havana Country Club lunch visit reminded us why the restaurant remains a popular dining destination in The Villages. While Havana may be best known for its golf course setting and happy hour crowd, lunch offered a relaxed experience with attentive service and satisfying food.

From the moment we sat down, our waitress impressed us by taking our entire table’s drink order without writing a single thing down. Not only did she get everything right, but she remained friendly and attentive throughout the meal.

One thing that immediately caught our attention was Havana’s prominently displayed health inspection rating near the entrance. Many restaurants place inspection reports where few people notice them. Havana puts theirs front and center, making it easy for guests to see before they sit down.

Lunch at Havana Country Club in The Villages

We started with the wings, which arrived crisp on the outside while staying juicy inside. Wings can sometimes feel like an afterthought on a lunch menu, but these were well prepared and disappeared quickly from the table.

The steak quesadilla was another highlight. It arrived packed with steak and melted cheese, along with fresh pico de gallo and sour cream on the side. The portion felt substantial without being overly heavy.

Another pleasant surprise was the wedge salad. We ordered it to share, and the kitchen split it into two individual plates before it reached the table. Each portion was large enough that it could have passed for its own salad. It’s a small detail, but one that made sharing easier.

One member of our group ordered the steak sandwich, which arrived piled high and served with a generous helping of fries. It looked like one of the heartier lunch options on the menu.

Final Thoughts

Based on this visit, Havana continues to focus on the basics. The food arrived as expected, portions were generous, and service remained attentive throughout the meal. The golf course setting adds to the experience, but the meal itself was solid enough to stand on its own.

For those looking for a relaxed lunch spot in The Villages, Havana offers a comfortable setting, dependable service, and portions that are likely to satisfy most diners.

If this helped you decide whether to go, feel free to share it with someone who’s been wondering.
