Local buffet rebrands itself in wake of closure by health inspector

A former buffet restaurant in Pinellas Plaza has completely renovated its location and rebranded itself as a bar and grill.

Evergreen Bar & Grill, formerly known as Evergreen Buffet & Grill, no longer offers the buffet that made it quite popular among Villagers living in the southern half of The Villages.

The renovations come just three months after a health inspector found issues that forced a temporary closure. Earlier this summer, the restaurant was forced to close for a day after a health inspector found 29 live roaches in a few places around the restaurant.
