“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.“

“Very good food. The service was excellent. They went out if their way to ensure we had a great experience.“

“Delicious food I ate the best fish sandwich and onion rings . Can’t wait to visit again.“

“Savory crêpe omelette, which is new to the menu. Absolutely delicious! my husband and I can’t stop talking about this meal. Go for it you’ll love it!!!“

“Bill and I love Nanny’s. That’s why you can find us there at least 4 times a week. Rachel and Chris are awesome cooks. Ronnie makes the best pies and cakes. The waitress staff are the best!“

“I never order Alfredo dishes … I decided to make an exception and ordered the chicken Alfredo. Well let me tell you …. It was the best! I see reviews of different restaurants like Sam’s, skinnys and whatever else is in this area where people rave about how good it is. I dont know where their taste buds are! I’m from the north and have never been able to find half way decent food. THIS IS THE PLACE! It’s fresh and made to order. WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Our server Ari was wonderful!“

“had the most romantical Valentines 💌 morning breakfast here!“

“Great restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. I was craving breakfast on my way home from a hike and came across this Big Mike's. They were on the verge of closing for the day when I walked in but the staff was more than accommodating. Had Country fried steak and eggs with hash browns and bacon! Everything was cooked perfectly, and fresh out the kitchen within 10 mins. The best breakfast I have had in months! Great prices for great food!“

“Service was slow because they seemed understaffed. The food was very good, came out hot and couldn't beat the price for the meal. I had the prime rib Thursday special with baked potato and green bean casserole. The soup was also excellent, something I've never had before, roast beef lentil. All for under 20 bucks, you can't beat that just about anywhere. The desserts looked homemade but I was too full to try. The majority of the people carried out a box with them so the portions are large. I wish it was closer to where I live, but I'll drive the 35 minutes to go back .“

“We always Enjoy Our Dinning Experience . The Chicken Fried Chicken ,Cold Slaw. The Server Was New But Very Good. The tater tots were Yummy but are being Removed from the menu. We are also a Rewards Member and Enjoy Our Benefits.“

“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!!!!“

“We just absolutely Love Culvers as simple as that !“

“Food is great! Atmosphere great! Wait staff is phenomenal! Overall management...sucks! Servers should not have to seat, wait, bus and even check-out customers. Where are the owners on busy times of day to run the business. Plus ..and even worse...the two men that seldom run the check out are rude. They don't say one single word to you, but take ur card or money. Don't say thank u or anything. Great food...great service.... Lousy management“

“One of the best fast food burger places, along with 5 Guys, and Shake Shack. However, Culver's has a much more extensive menu, with the fish sandwich being the best of any fast food place. Being cod is a big deal, in my opinion. They also have ice cream in many choices, as well as milkshakes and floats. The diet root beer is a plus for diabetic like me.“

“Love there food yum yum get me some“

“As a 45 year old foodie who’s been to many Michelin starred restaurants, Nouvelle Cuisine is hands down our favorite restaurant in Hernando County! The atmosphere is relaxed, the food is always consistent and impeccably executed.. We generally get the rack of lamb, filet, or specialty selections like elk or veal. Chef Kinds, Isabelle, and staff always make sure our experience is nothing short of amazing!! The escargot and European cheese board are always a must. The wine selection is spectacular and Isabelle’s wine knowledge is always spot on. The desserts are truly chefs kiss. The white chocolate marscapone cheesecake with raspberry coulis is our absolute favorite!❤️ I promise, you’ll not be disappointed..“

“The weekend morning crew at WH #2443 is outstanding! Doesn’t matter if they’re slow or busy, everyone is nice, professional, and works hard to ensure the job is done right.“

“Ordered an Italian sub and it was excellent!! I’ll definitely be back. 😎🤙🎩🧚‍♀️“

“We've had many hams from this store and they're always amazing. We had never tried their food menu until recently when we randomly decided to stop in for lunch. This place is cafe style where you order at the counter and they bring it out to you. My ham and swiss sliders were fantastic and my husband enjoyed is bbq ham sandwich. We will definitely be back for lunch to try other options!“

Mondays are 50 cents per wing when you purchase a beverage

There is a moody waiter

Last time we were there, we ended up walking out because Mr moody was very rude.

We will come back but only if there is someone besides Moses“

“Food is great. Family friendly, staff is amazing!!!“

“Grilled options are amazing love the cat fish and lobster rolls“

“We, my husband, my husband's cousins, and I, used to eat here all the time....at least once a week. That was, until this "Covid"- thing cut into their hours and business. Now that Covid is over, their hours are still very limited. They close at 2. We, seniors, like to go out for dinner, in the evening. That's when we went. Now, closing at 2, haven't been back in months, if not more. Today is Sunday. Think they would be open all day, but, no. Still closing at 2. Very sad. Love the food, though, but can't eat there if they aren't open.“

“This place is understaffed and unprofessional...I waited 40 min for my order which arrived incorrectly...waitress justified that by saying it was what she wrote down..really?...my wife's food was burnt and again when she didn't get her correct toast again it was what the waitress wrote...we will never set foot on there again...disgusting“

“I love going to this Ihop. Been going there every weekend for at least five years. Great food and service. Perfect place to just relax and enjoy a good meal. I usually go late at night and have Katelyn as my server and she is the best. Even after my meal when I'm simply subsisting on ridiculous amounts of coffee, she continues to check on me and make sure I have everything. I've never once felt rushed. Thank you for being my go to every weekend.“
