7 Best Sports Bars near Inverness

“Tonight, Sunday, May 24th just after 7pm, I took my special needs nephew out to dinner before he heads back home, and we stopped by Applebee's like we often do because it’s one of our favorite affordable places to eat together. We were seated at the High-top table #33, and had the absolute pleasure of being served by Autumn C.

We decided to do the all-you-can-eat deal, my nephew ordered a “Blue Mountain Dew” because apparently the color matters more than the flavor, and I ordered a strawberry piña colada. From the moment we sat down, Autumn was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. My nephew is on the spectrum and can sometimes become nonverbal around people he doesn’t know well, but she treated him with such genuine warmth and respect.

One moment that absolutely made his night was when he quietly asked me if the staff would “let him have another,” and almost immediately Autumn appeared with a refill before I could even answer him. It completely blew his mind and made him feel so seen and included.

My friends and I come to Applebee’s 2–3 times a month, and I can honestly say Autumn is one of the friendliest, fastest, and most thoughtful waitresses I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by. She made what could have been a stressful outing feel easy and enjoyable, and that means more than I can explain.

Thank you, Autumn, for helping make our night enjoyable.

— Signed, a young uncle just trying to give his nephew the most normal and happy life possible.“

“Was greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. I ordered the small guacamole, 3 hard shell tacos with rice and a side of beans. My husband ordered the pick 2 (chicken enchilada and a beef burrito with rice and beans) we also ordered 2 large house margaritas. The food was delicious, prepared and presented beautifully. Our waiter, Rigoberto was wonderful. He took our order, brought the food out in a timely manner, checked on us but did not hover. Overall, a wonderful meal and evening.“

“We live in Floral City and just hadn’t made it to Lollygaggers yet. We finally made it for lunch today. The staff is super friendly, we were seated immediately, the place is clean, parking was effortless, and the prices are *super* reasonable. We both ate lunch (in addition to my beer and shot of Patron) and IT WAS ONLY FORTY DOLLARS!

The Coney Island dog is amazing!

Definitely recommend, and we will 100% be back!“

“Came passing through Hernando for the evening, just about everything around me within walking distance from the bus stop was closed by sunset. The Hideaway sports bar was open and I had seen good reviews about the wings so I decided to try em out. I am overly impressed. I've worked in restaurants/hospitality my entire life, from back of house to front, and there's really only one way to conduct businesses let alone objectivly good wings. Hernando Hideaway sportsbar delivers. They were prepared fresh, crispy, and absolutely perfect. The service was great, super friendly and really inviting atmosphere, as well as the people. You wont find better availability, prices, quality, or satisfaction anywhere else imo. Its rare to find businesses like this in small towns that'll actually cater towards the customer whos a stranger. You could say I'm a bit biased since everything else was closed, but reliability goes along way in this area. If everything else were to be open the next time I pass through, I'd remain loyal to this bar regardless. That's how good my experience was.“
