“You always feel like family”

“When you walk into this time honored establishment your senses are treated to a level of authenticity that is usually found in a North East Italian neighborhood where the classics were perfected 165 years ago. My entire experience start to finish was a delight. From the genuinely sincere matriarch that took my order on the phone, to the polite pizza master in training busy boxing 6 pies to be delivered letting me know my order was about 6 minutes out, and finally my last contact was with the artisan himself, that when asked informed me he’d been making these pizzas for 73 years. I must bring up the glorious smells again coming from that oven that’s been producing these treasures for the last 25 years in this very spot. This is a zero frills take out joint steeped in history that I happened to stumble across a few blocks from my rental. I tend to order spaghetti and meatballs and a small version of the houses deluxe pie, here called the works. The spaghetti could feed two easily with the bonus two slices of pizza each on the side. If you are anywhere near Hernando Beach go there you won’t be disappointed.💥 🏆💥”

“They have such a friendly atmosphere from all the employees.”

“Hidden gem on the water. Outdoor seating is a must to enjoy the private dining areas with tropical plants and views of the water filled with an abundance of fish and turtles. Food was amazing and our waitress Marissa was entertaining and attentive. Will be back.”

“St I finally made it to Standys after hearing about it for ages—and now I’m wondering why I waited so long. From the moment my family and I walked in, we were greeted by a cheerful, friendly young woman who made us feel right at home. It didn’t feel like your average sandwich shop—it felt like a place where community lives. Think Cheers, but with sandwiches instead of beer. The menu? Loaded. You could easily eat here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner without repeating a meal. The dining space was clean and inviting, with a mix of tables, half-booths, and a sleek high-top. Throwback tunes were playing, adding to the laid-back, feel-good vibe. I ordered the Asian Chicken Salad, which came with a piece of flatbread—and wow. Both were fantastic. I’ve never left a place feeling full from a salad, but Standys changed that. My mom got their garlic meatball sandwich (I wish I remembered the exact name), and she said it was the best she’s ever had. That’s high praise. I’m already planning my next visit—breakfast is calling my name. Big kudos to the owner and staff for creating a space that’s warm, flavorful, and genuinely memorable. So glad I listened to the recommendation. If you haven’t been yet, go. You’ll thank yourself later.”

“Best pizza charming owners”

“I am visiting my sister and brother-in-law in Brooksville, FL and on 1-5-2026 they took me to Cody's Original Roadhouse in Spring Hill, FL. The food was absolutely delicious and was hot upon arrival. I had the chicken, with cheese and sweet potato fries and a salad - it was absolutely divine. We had the fried cheese sticks as well as an appetizer and they were well portioned and delicious. My sister had the french onion soup and the half rack with shrimp and fries which was also yummy. My brother-in-law had the haddock with a baked sweet potato and he loved it. On top of the fact that the food was wonderful, the price was reasonable our server Brian F. was engaging, prompt, new the menu items well. I really want to call out Brian F. as his service was exceptional and service such as this needs to be recognized. Always smiling, communicated well, checked on us often and overall was OVER THE TOP!. I also appreciated the fact that the Manager Amanda checked on us to ensure all was well. A huge thank you to Brian F. salute to the chef and kitchen staff, for the delicious, well presented hot meals, and to Amanda for a very well run dining experience. Happy 2026, we will be back!!!!”

“Such a great environment! The owners are so kind. we brought 12 feral Daisy Girl Scouts there and they didn't blink an eye. The girls had a blast and so did the parents. Great place for families and great prices.”

“Great food and service! Richard waited on us and he was exceptional. What a treat to actually have an enjoyable meal out. I had the $16.00 special and it was well worth the money and topped off with cheesecake, what more could you want! Thanks Richard! Hope you’re working next time we’re there!”

“Other than a bit breezy, our 1st time there was awesome. Both food and service was above our expectations. We’re from SC, and we’re a bit disappointed that we can’t get this type of experience back home. Keep up the good work!”

“This place is a little hidden gem with the most delicious and fresh pastries. I have been in several times and it never disappoints.”

“We live close to the restaurant, and finally tried it out a few months ago, ...and WOW!! It exceeded our expectations. These guys know ALL about flavor, and how to maximize it. Iwas blown away by the burgers!! So was my husband. And the seasonings for the shrimp and chicken...out of this world!! The texture and golden brown crispness of the fries...perfection. The owners make you feel like family. And it seems that their menu has just about anything you could possibly be craving!!”

“My best friend & I went here for lunch today. Jorge , the GM, stopped at our table to make sure all was ok. It was great so far. Then we got an awesome waitress, Kristina. She could not have been any better. Had everything we needed and the food was outstanding. I called and spoke to Jorge and told him how pleased we were. People are so quick to complain so Kim & I decided to tell them how happy we were with start to finish. Gators Dockside has always been my favorite restaurant, and it’s still my favorite restaurant. Thank you again Jorge, & Kristina .”
