The food was awesome... best Rueben I've had for a long time. Fries are crispy and salty. Only here for a few days but will be back before we leave. read more

Great food and atmosphere! Many great choices from a diverse menu! Servings are generous and always a pleasure to enjoy !

If you're looking for fantastic good that is a little different this is your go to. Hard to explain but delicious. We sat outside which was a relaxing cooler day. There is a creek off the deck and you can feed the fish/ turtles its brackish water. The service as on point. read more

This is a great spot for brunch. A little out of the way, but so worth it. Food was fresh and the atmosphere was great as well. Music on the patio on Saturday morning made our day. read more

There is great music. The food is delicious. Good seafood choices. The service is also excellent. Been there 3 times and will return again.

Our family suggested trying Brian's place. We weren't sure what to except but we were blown away by our experience. Recommend going right before dinner and making a reservation. We arrived at 4 and there was a huge dinner rush! We were glad we went early. Everything we ordered was fresh and exploding with flavor! Tamara was an incredible serve and filled us in with the restaurant favorites! We will definitely be back! We loved the chiefs mix of Latin and Italian! read more

Interesting little restaurant with excellent food. Steve's a nice Sunday brunch with an endless mimosa option. Dinner is on the pricey side but food is presented elegantly and portions are ample. Usually they have some sort of entertainment in the background. read more

Ate here last night and the food was kind of hit or miss. My Caesar salad came with very wet greens, so wet that the dressing barely adhered, which is a problem. The spinach salad was delicious. The adobo shrimp skewer was way over cooked and the shrimp tasted as though they were coated in an acrid burnt seasoning - so salty! The tuna ceviche was inedible, completely submerged in an absolute pool of lime juice and irregularly chopped pieces of tuna, onions and peppers. It must've sat in the acidic lime juice for hours as it was completely "cooked". The texture was really off putting. The Cuban pork crostini had zero flavor - not a trace of the promised Cuban spices. So disappointing. Here's a tip for the chef - a crostini is a thinly sliced piece of bread, usually rubbed with garlic, brushed with olive oil and either grilled or toasted. The 2 inch thick slices of French bread - again, sliced so sloppily and irregularly - served with the appetizers above are not crostini. Service was professional and friendly, my cucumber martini was very refreshing, and I appreciate them removing the tuna ceviche from our bill. read more

This is THE place to eat in Hernando Beach. The food is excellent and the service is top notch. We have been here for a month and have had 4 delicious meals here. BIG shout out to Dale - what an outstanding waiter. Would recommend the crab encrusted filet, the ribeye steak, Marsala penne pasta with chicken, chicken breast with fresh mozzarella. The coconut shrimp appetizer is fabulous! The cocktails are unique and memorable. Smoked Buffalo with Buffalo trace bourbon was fabulous. Recommend reservations - easy to do on line and no wait. This is a popular spot. read more

The food is outstanding and they have seating both inside and outside. The waiter we had was very friendly and Johnny on the spot. The dining inside is a little loud but outdoor is relaxing. read more

We have friends in the area that recommended your restaurant. The food looked amazing online, and you had a great wine list. My wife and I were prepared to have a fantastic meal with your establishment. Unfortunately, they sat us next to the doorway with an empty restaurant and refused to move with 28 decent table. I would not recommend this restaurant, very disrespectful to my wife. read more

Not really that good It was nice to sit down for dinner after the virus but the food tasted like some of it might have been laying around for weeks The pan seared grouper was not good The potatoes was stone cold and horrible tasting The green beans were ok lol Didn't have desert because the service was slow And the table across from me didn't like their Cannolis There were 2 other places down the street and they were both Packed on a Tuesday night read more

Brian's Place - Pan seared grouper Not good - Spanish Near Me - Hernando Beach, Florida

Drinks were good. Appetizers were really well done. Had the Cuban bread with pork and bbq sauce on it. Had caprice salad and the mozzarella was really fresh. Had the manchego cheese chicken with plantain bananas and Cuban rice. Was really good. Presentation was 5 star. Food quality was very good, chicken a little dry on ends but middle was perfect. Wife had crispy salmon with adobe potato's and green beans, beans could have used another minute or two cooking but overall, it was a fine meal. Staff was very attentive and on the job as if to say. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anybody that wants good Cuban, American cuisine. read more

Service was top notch and super friendly. This place is a home fun for sure !!! read more

I brought my parents here for there 40th wedding anniversary. I am sorry to say that the only part of the dinner that was good was the food and the music. While waiting for our table we put an order on at the bar. We were then guided to our table. We let the bar tender and our hostess know. She said she would let the server know. It took about 10 mins to have the server greet our table. We let her know we had drinks at the bar. It took 10 more minutes to get the drinks our frozen drink was melted. She also then let us know we had to wait for water as they had no more water glasses. By this time the table that sat after us had already received there drinks and put their meal order in, We then put our meal order in. Got our salads and had to wait about 10 mins for the waitress to show up to ask for forks. The meals showed about 35 mins later, my dads steak was slightly warm, did not want to complain as we did not know how long it would take to get back. After eating it took us asking another server for our bill. Our server came back another 20 mins later. Then my husband realized the bill was wrong took another long time to fix the bill. In total took us 45 mins to get the correct bill. By this time the restaurant was not busy. Very few ppl in restaurant. Needless to say this was the the first time and will be the last time, read more

Awesome food and service!! Highly recommend the steak is so good it melts in your mouth

Accidentally stumbled through the fog into Brian's on New Years Eve. Wonderfully warm ambiance and servers. Felicia & James are true mixologists. Stan and his band were playing a perfect song list that included Ambrosia, Bill Withers, Van Morrison, and other jazzy, smoothly performed classics. Menu is unique, bathrooms spotless. This place is a jewel and truly unique to its area. read more

Good food and service which is fast and not overbearing. Lots of variety, and not overpriced. Be prepared to look for parking if this place is crowded read more

Good food and prices but seating lacks view of anything but highway or small muddy pond, unless you sit inside.

Went for a lunch date with my teenager. We were pleasantly surprised to have such great service. ( I'm sorry I'm really bad with names ) The food is made fresh so we didn't care to wait a little longer for it. Plus it gave my 17 yoa and I more time to catch up. I got the grouper special. It was so delish ! I absolutely recommend this restaurant. The owner came out to introduce himself and see how everything was going. I will be back for sure! read more

I WOULD GIVE THIS 10 STARS. Table for 4, appetizer: ceviche & mushroom beer cheese fondue. Main course: Manchago Chicken: this plate came with sauteed spinach and rice, this was wonderful, full of flavor, chicken was moist. cilantro Dijon crab cake: this plate was great, the crab cakes had a lot of flavor, the potatoes were mashed with sausage which gave them the perfect flavor, sauteed spinach and rice. P an seared local scamp grouper: very good, fresh and flavorful spinach salad with chicken: what can say outstanding for a salad. I highly recommend this place. Just a small hint, make reservation, so you will not be disappointed if you can't get in! Kennedy was our server, she was pleasent, friendly and happy to serve us. WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN HERE BEFORE?? I DON'T KNOW BUT I WILL BE BACK. read more

This is the best restaurant we have tried in the Spring Hill area so far. It is in Hernando Beach, so not a far drive at all. We like the location, the outdoor and indoor seating options and we love the food! We have had dinner and brunch. We loved the tostones and grouper dishes. We can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

This place was amazing. We were in town only for 2 nights from Orlando. We had been to another local spot the night before, and the service was not good at all. So we went here with low expectations, let me tell you we were pleasantly surprised. We had a party of 9, 5 kids, and our server was so attentive and very patient with us. Noe to the food. Of all 9 of us with different plates, we all had nothing bad to say. My husband said it was the best meal he has had in a vety long time. We want to come back now just to try other plates. read more

I was staying nearby, and Brian's Place was recommended to me by the hotel manager where I was staying. I'm extremely glad she did. I asked to be seated in the bar area, which was cozy and had great energy. Seemed like everyone there was a regular, but I didn't feel excluded at all. James, the bartender, came by quickly and ran through the drink specials. Mind you, the specials weren't "2-for-1 drafts" or anything that lame. No, this dude was mixing up some serious gourmet stuff. I went with an Old Fashioned that was more complex than advanced calculus but much easier to enjoy. While awaiting my order, Brian, the owner/operator/head chef/good dude comes out from the back to say hi and meet the people enjoying his place. For my entree I chose the Grouper with Plantains Three Ways, the signature dish of the restaurant. A very well put together dish, the seasoning on the grouper went so nicely with the plantains that I was actually sad when my plate was empty. To make up for it, I ordered the rice pudding, which was covered in toasted almonds, and could have easily been a dessert for two. For the first time all night, I was glad to be alone, because I wasn't sharing that rice pudding with anyone. I don't know if I'll ever be back in the area, but if I am, this place will definitely be one of my stops. Easily one of the best recommendations I've had. read more

Chef prepared dishes, fresh ingredients and great atmosphere makes Brian's our favorite.

This place stands out with its amazing food , service and ambiance . If you want to enjoy the true elegance of a meal that is cooked by highly talented chefs then thud is the place . The food is like watching a well choreographed dance everything compliments itself perfectly within the meal. The staff is highly attentive. An overall amazing experience and I highly recommend Brian's Place to anyone that want exceptional cuisine . read more

Brian's Place - a bottle of wine on a table - Spanish Near Me - Hernando Beach, Florida

The food was over priced and the worst meal I've ever had. The chicken was so tuff you couldn't cut it with a steak knife. The rest of the plate was cold. We will never go back. read more

Most of the weight stuff there has attitudes they need to be more customer compliant. I complained about not getting dinner rules. They told me they were short on quantity and was rationing and then a table of four sat next to me after I was there they got their food first and when I inquired, they said they were their first which was totally untrue. When I complained, I was asked to exit the restaurant. I walked out the back door and around the side. Ryan's culinary genius is top notch especially in this area but the wait staff sucks. read more

First time at Brian's and will definitely not be the last. Service was awesome (Jamie) followed by the spectacular food and we could not resist the dessert. Definitely fudged on the diet on this one but it is worth the additional poundage or effort! We sat outside and it was so much nicer for us than inside and we left full as with smiles! Thank you Brian's and JAMIE! read more

Everything was great about this place! My husband had the 20oz ribeye and he 10/10 recommends. It was cooked perfectly! I got the special which was a steak with the best citrus flavor. It came with asparagus and amazing Macaroni. Our waitress Katie was GREAT she was so personable and never let our drinks run low. read more

We were meeting family at the halfway point if Tarpon Springs and homasassa and Hernando Beach seemed to be the best option. I made a reservation and the lady who answered was extremely friendly and accommodating. When we arrived the hostess continued to the same attitude. Our table was on the patio which I highly recommend on a nice night! There was wonderful music playing in the background and even a little cover to block some of the sun. The atmosphere is casual! Our waitress Stephanie was amazing! She was helpful, sweet, and extremely fast! Garlic bread comes to the table. The only thing was that we opted with the $9.99 soup/salad with a entree combo and some people at our table did not realize that this would be a lighter entree. However I had the shrimp and chorizo and it was the perfect amount! read more
