50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Hernando Beach

“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.💥 🏆💥“

“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!“

“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 .“

“Best rangoons and service overall I have experienced in Tampa Bay. Food arrived quickly and was great quality and blistering hot. Could not have asked for a better experience. We live an hour away but I would go out of my way to eat here 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!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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..“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Love there food yum yum get me some“

“This place is amazing. We live in North Brooksville almost to the Citrus County Line and we still drive down here on occasion for breakfast. You can't find ANYTHING like this in Hernando. Amazing people, excellent food and a wonderful experience. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.“

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

“I arrived just around 4pm on a Saturday and there was already a wait starting to build at the hostess stand. Since I was willing to take a high-top, however, I was seated immediately.

After getting settled, Shannon came over and introduced herself as my server, took my drink order, and asked if I wanted their (legendary) complementary croissants, which I declined. Shannon returned quickly with my drink, and since I already knew what I wanted, I placed my order for a chicken tenders platter (with fries and broccoli as my two sides) and a side salad to start.

Within just a few minutes, my salad was brought to the table. The salad was basic, with the usual ingredients - greens, carrot strings, cherry tomatoes, croutons, cheese. Everything tasted fresh and crispy and I really don't have much more to say about the salad.

Shortly after finishing my salad, my entree was delivered. Everything was as expected and did not disappoint. The broccoli was nicely seasoned and steamed to perfection. The fries crispy but may have been a tad too salty for my taste. The chicken tenders (five in total) were perfect - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Owing to Cheddar's usual generous portions I was able to bring half the meal home as leftovers.

Shannon was a great server - friendly, attentive, and (important for me) quick on the soda refills.

If you are in the mood for good sized portions of quality comfort food at a reasonable price, don't sleep on Cheddar's. They are worth a visit.“

“Love this restaurant! And the service is great! The waitress, Ellla that served us yesterday was great! And the sweetest too. Give the restaurant 5 stars and Ella, also 5 stars!“

“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 .“

“Best pizza in the area. Use them all the time.“

“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!!!“

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

“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“

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

“Great food. Friendly staff. We eat there a few times a month. Thanks for staying on the right side of history. We will be back“

“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 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🤩“
