50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Hernando Beach

“Matoli’s Pizza is easily one of the best pizza spots in the Weeki Wachee/Hernando Beach area. The location is convenient to both communities, and they also offer delivery, which makes it an easy go-to for a great meal.

Their pizza is the best NY-style pizza in the area. Even a simple cheese or pepperoni pizza is excellent—the crust, sauce, and cheese are consistently on point. If you want to take it up a notch, the Matoli’s Works is incredible. It’s absolutely loaded with toppings and never disappoints.

Matoli’s has been ingrained in the local community and culture for years, and there’s a reason they’ve lasted. They consistently put out an excellent product at very reasonable prices. In fact, their prices are so fair and the food is so good that I always make a point to tip well.

Great pizza, great value, convenient delivery, and a true local institution. Five stars!“

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

“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!“

“This was my first time trying Hanabi and we went to celebrate my man's birthday. They did not disappoint. The food was delicious and affordable. We were a bit overdressed but we were celebrating. The presentation was nice and the atmosphere was great. What really sold me was how kind the staff was. They went above and beyond to make his 19th birthday special 😜. We will most definitely be back!“

“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 .“

“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!!!“

“Love to come here! Local and fun!“

“today was my first time. lady's were friendly and cashier recommended a latte for me which was great“

“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..“

“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!“

“My daughter and I come here every Thursday and have breakfast. The girls are always so friendly and the food is amazing. We typically get the same thing every time we go. I know I look forward to my breakfast dates with my daughter and she does too. Thank you Breakfast station for being a part of our tradition!“

“It was our first time here, our waitress was very sweet and happy to show us how to do everything. All of the staff were attentive and helpful. Wide selection of foods. Everything was clean, neat, and orderly. A wonderful time for family to be together and try new things“

“The staff were very pleasant to talk to and really made my first time trying them a wonderful experience. I got a Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich which was absolutely delicious. Their butter crumb cakes are worth every penny and I would actually have paid more in all honesty.“

“Great cheesesteaks , but the burgers are the best i ever had...i thought the first visit was a fluke but every visit is the same! 10 visits, 10 fantastic burgers!!!“

“Love there food yum yum get me some“

“Ordered Greek Chicken Salad and it was amazing!!!!“

“Skimpy portion of steak tips and some were chewy. Others in the party got fish and chicken tenders and said there was too much breading. It felt like we were stuck in a corner despite plenty of space, was told because it was quiet then sat the loudest guy behind us who had no idea what an inside voice is. Maybe the waitress was busy but we had to ask for drink refills.“

“I recently stopped by Jams for breakfast and ended up ordering the ham and cheese omelette. I have to say, it absolutely hit the spot and exceeded my expectations for a classic morning staple. The omelette was cooked to perfection—fluffy, light, and not greasy at all. They definitely didn't skimp on the fillings either; it was absolutely loaded with savory, high-quality ham and a generous amount of melted, gooey cheese that perfectly tied the whole dish together. Every single bite was flavorful and satisfying.
Beyond the fantastic food, the entire dining experience at Jams was excellent. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was warm, clean, and incredibly welcoming, making it the perfect spot to sit down, relax, and enjoy a great meal. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure my coffee stayed topped off throughout breakfast. It is clear that they care about both the quality of their food and the satisfaction of their guests. If you are looking for a top-tier breakfast spot with fantastic service and delicious comfort food, I highly recommend checking out Jams. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their menu very soon!“

“Food was good but“

“I love skinnys wings...but today was a failure. I ordered a 10 piece of breaded garlic parm wings (my fav). When they came out fresh and hot, I ate one and I could taste a fishyness to them. I had my buddy try one and she said the same thing. The waitress (who was great) took them back to get me new ones. Here's the kicker! I know they werent new wings. I know they were sat under a heat lamp for a bit and just left for re-serving. Not cool!! How do I know this. I left one piece of celery in the basket. when it came back out the same one piece of celery was in the same place. But thats not even it. When the wings were dumped into the basket the first time, they were dumped over the little container of ranch, and it left a perfect ring of nothingness under it..just the basked liner clean as a whistle. When the supposed new wings came out... the ring was still there, still void of any seasoning remnants. same wings... same fishy flavor. sorry but that was horribly disappointing! I still tipped the waitress a 10 spot on a 24 dollar bill! Not her fault. I still will recommend Skinny's and thier wings... just not today! I took 8 of the wings home... had my roomie try one and she said the very same thing.... Fishy. tossed them in the trash!“

“Best Chinese food! we order from here all the time! friendly staff and very clean place!“

“Waited one hour and twenty minutes before being seated so we decided to leave. For glorified Asian food.. while some Asian man yells at you while making your food.. not worth it!“

“Best Chinese around our area in Spring Hill and we have tried a lot of them and always come back to this! Their portions are good and their prices are good. We will always order from here and highly recommend. My favorite is the bourbon chicken and my hubby likes the general Tao’s.“

“We went to Sam’s Beach Bar today and I got the Grouper Fingers basket. It was excellent! 5 large fingers with very crispy breading. It was so good my husband decided to order the same thing to go for his dinner. I opened up his container and was shocked. 2 small fingers with mushy white meat and instead of a crispy breading it looked like it was battered. Neither the breading nor the meat tasted the same. Very disappointed. I love Sam’s Beach bar but I will have a hard time getting my husband to go back.“

“I was in there the other night my waitress Nikki was awesome she made the dining experience very pleasurable and she was very attentive. Will be coming back and requesting her.“

“Excellent food, excellent service.“

“Delicious food!!!“

“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“

“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“

“We stopped for our favorites earlier this week but tried something new. the grouper reuben was so so yummy!! A new favorite.“

“We tried Thai Cuisine a few weeks ago and have already been back for more! The food, atmosphere and prices are amazing! Everyone was accommodating and friendly. I love it there and you will too!! Definitely 5 stars🤩“
