    The Tomahawk before

    Amazing location, great atmosphere, very attentive staff that made us feel welcome and the food was fantastic! If you haven't been here you don't know what you're missing! I had the grouper three ways and my husband went for the tomahawk steak! Cooked to perfection! He cleaned the bone! The soup and salad were also delicious! Great job!

    Brian's Place is such a gem -- a true family-owned restaurant that delivers memorable dishes. We started with the grouper cake, and wow... it was awesome. The light sear on the outside gave it the perfect little crunch before getting into the tender, flavorful fish inside. From there, we went all in with the Grouper Three Ways and the flounder special. The flounder was stuffed with crab and artichoke and was absolutely delicious. The Grouper Three Ways was delightful as well -- each preparation brought out different flavors and textures that made the dish feel fun and elevated. Entrées came with a choice of soup or salad, and I went with the pork and pinto bean soup. Comforting, hearty, and full of flavor -- definitely worth choosing. I'll be honest, it's not the cheapest spot in town, but they offer an early bird special that is totally worth giving a try. Great value for the quality you get. And don't sleep on the drinks! They have a really nice seasonal menu that rounds out the experience perfectly. Highly recommend Brian's Place if you're looking for fresh seafood, thoughtful dishes, and a cozy, family-run vibe. Will absolutely be back!

    A gem of a place right in Hernando Beach! Been here many times...the interior of the Restaurant has been redone, due to the horrible storms we had...it is absolutely beautiful inside! The food and the service was wonderful..some of us ordered off the early menu and the choices were great..I had the Grilled Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious! My friends had the Paella and Steak and were all happy as well...looking forward to coming back really soon!

    Finally got around to going to Brian's on Paella night! Located at 3430 Shoal Line Blvd Hernando Beach Fl Brians always Parking was ample, wait was non existent (I am a party of 1) but with parties of 2 or more I suggest reservations. Lisa was the hostess and she was very courteous and hospitable, my waitress Victoria was also awesome! Paella night is usually Wednesdays but this Wednesday he had Hogfish paella! I started with a house salad and garlic bread. The salad was crisp and a great start and the garlic bread soft and warm. The star of this evening was definitely rich, savory and aromatic hogfish paella, flakey hogfish, tender mussels and clams, with succulent shrimp and flavorful rice mixing in a harmony of spice! I savored every bite of the Hogfish paella and wished I could save some for lunch tomorrow but it was just too good not to enjoy all of it in the moment! I'm telling you folks Brian's does not miss when it comes to great food and relaxing ambiance!

    We didn't make reservations on a Tuesday evening, but I noticed many people did. The dining room is a little small so it's probably a good idea to reserve a table. We got the coconut shrimp, roast pork mole and blackened salmon. All very good and cooked well. The have early dinner specials T-Th for $17 definitely worth it!

The inside is decorated colorfully and is comfortable. I was not familiar with many foods on the menu, but I was adventurous and tried the special: Pastelon de Amarillo's - ground beef, cheeses, sweet plantains in a round dish. I asked for sweet plantains for a side. Next time I'll choose something else. That was too many plantains for me. Husband had grilled skirt steak with red beans & white rice. He ate almost everything - left some of the rice. He really enjoyed his dinner, and he, too, would like to return. Andrew was our wait staff and he was efficient and friendly. The prices were reasonable, and our booth was comfortable. I took home half of my meal as I didn't want to stuff myself. When reheated the next day, it was just as good. I hope this restaurant is here for many years!

Located seemingly out in the boondocks off a busy intersection of two highways, 42 and 475, the standalone building offers a lot of parking. We were led to a booth when we walked in and given a somewhat cryptic menu...did the meats come with rice, plantains, beans or do you order those extra? Being mofongo virgins, my wife's eyes and mine fixated on it. She ordered churrasco trifongo and I ordered the mofongo with steak and chicken. Our mofongos were smothered with a garlic sauce. The mofongos were served in the wooden mortar it was prepared in with the garlic sauce overflowing on the plate the mortar was served on...nice presentation. When we started eating, we both realized that we won't be able to finish it...that pounded plantain and cassava were quite filling. All that starch. The steak and chicken were tender and the garlic sauce was a good compliment. What we didn't like: 1. Service was spotty. Even though it was a late lunch and the place wasn't packed, our server barely checked in on us and I had to actually walk up the counter to request our bill. 2. The floors were sticky, making us think perhaps the place isn't the cleanest. 3. Music was too loud...we were seated close to the speakers making conversation a challenge. Food was decent but service and ambience, or lack thereof, knocked it down.
