“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.💥 🏆💥”

“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.”

“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!!!!”

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.

Thank you again Jorge, & Kristina .”
