11 Best Sports Bars near Lecanto

“We’ve been going to Glory Days in Lecanto ever since it opened. We’ve never had a bad meal nor have we had bad service. We would, however, like to give Tracy, a greeter and goodwill ambassador, a shoutout. She is an excellent representation of what a hostess/employee/helper should be. She always wears a smile, is knowledgeable, and takes excellent care of the customers. If I could I would clone her!“

“First time at this location. The food was excellent, service was top notch, Reilly is a good server paying attention to our needs. I had the club sandwich, it was the best ever! My spouse had the Cuban, she loved it. My daughter had the cordon blue sandwich and she loved that offering. Friends with us had the Grouper Rueben sandwich and they were impressed. We will go back again the next time we are in Crystal River.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Jenna at the bar is the best...friendly...great service...always goes out of her way to give us special attention...we will be back every week...“

“Our waitress was excellent. She was running around doing everything while the other waitress was playing around. The food was great. Took a while, and the place wasn't that busy. But only one waitress was doing everything. The grilled chicken was great. Love the side salad.“
