Philly cheesesteak
Kate B.

Our party of 4 arrived about 6:20pm on Friday night. Kitchen closes at 7pm so it was perfect timing. Sitting by the water for the sunset was lovely. Our server was friendly and helpful. The table favorite as far as food was the Boom Boom Shrimp! We also had chicken fajitas, Philly cheesesteak, fried cod and fish tacos around the table. I was impressed at the serving size of the chicken fajitas, it came with a whole plate full of grilled chicken, onions and peppers and you make the fajitas yourself with the provided shells and add ins. Great experience overall. The food was well-liked by everyone.

I had a wonderful lunch here today! It was a gloomy windy day but it still felt so nice to dine out by the water. I was hoping I could get a grouper or snapper ruben sandwich today but I found out it's a special they don't always have. I'll be sure to check out for when it becomes available again. Stephanie, our server was helpful, professional and pleasant. Our table was very clean and as was the bathroom too. Now onto the best part, the food: I ordered myself a fried grouper sandwich with sweet potatoes fries and boy was it good! I was pleased with the portion, how quick it arrived and of course the taste of it. The other party members also loved their grouper sandwich and grouper bites. If eating great food outdoors by the water is your thing, this spot is for you!

Cute little tiki bar right on the water! Good food, fair prices, and a chill vibe. Food took a bit to come out but was fresh. I had the special of the day: 2 lobster rolls for the price of 1. Amazing deal, though the lobster itself was just okay. Fries were salty. The fried whole belly clams were a standout, and the calamari was solid too. Their blackened grouper sandwich came recommended and didn't disappoint, flavorful and satisfying. Would come back again.

Did zen raw oysters...so large and fresh!

Love this place! Great view and great food! Never had something I didn't like here. This time I ordered dozen raw oysters and a sangria and a shock top beer. The oysters were amazing! Fresh, large, plump....so good. My family comes from Cape Cod so it's so nice having the flavors and seafood of the Cape here! Will be back again and again and again!

Blacked fish tacos w/fries and slaw

Fast service and fair prices paired with quick friendly service and a nice outdoor dining makes for a great resturant. The Blackend Fish Tacos were great!

View

This is a hidden gem on the water, next to a marina. It's all outdoor dining. Mostly under a large tiki hut and a patio with umbrella tables. Our server was Liz and she was super friendly and attentive. I had the grilled shrimp basket. It was all delicious. The fries were like the crispy McDonald's fries. They have Coke products but no Coke Zero. They have motorcycle parking closest to the water, but the parking lot is fairly small in general.

Snapper Reuben sandwich special. Delicious
Lindsay K.

Cute little spot for good food and a view. Reuben sandwich with snapper fish was on a special today and it was absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best ones we've ever had. They have live music. Patio and indoor seating. We stopped here after our paddle boarding at Weeki Wachee. Sarah was our server and she was very friendly and fast.

Lobster Rolls

Have eaten here a handful of times. Tonight had a fisherman's platter to go to take over to Marker 48 to listen to live music. The seafood was fresh. It was not the largest platter especially if you are used to Woodmans size platter in Essex Ma but it was good. My favorite it always the shrimp but we went as my friend wanted the whole belly clams. I personally would have liked them a bit cleaner but she really enjoyed them. I would go again and appreciate having something from the "north shore" here in Hernando.

The restaurant park for those who go by boat
Mari Carmen T.

Ohhh what a beautiful place, the view is stunning, I have been there many times. The food very good. The waiters are very attentive and friendly, they make a very good drinks

Philly cheese steak

Good service and decent food with live music on the water.. lobster roll and Philly cheese steak is good. Fries not so much.

Great quality food and very inexpensive!
Caitlin R.

So glad we visited today! The food, view, and prices here are outstanding! We got the Ahi Tuna and Blackened Grouper Sandwich with onion rings. We loved all the homemade sauces for our food. Service was excellent, and we sat overlooking the water. Live music was going on as well. I can't wait to return!

Ask the Community - Hernando Beach Tropical Grille

What day do they have the 2 for 1 lobster rolls?

As of May, it was typically Tuesdays but availability and days of the week can carry weekly. I typically called late Monday/early Tuesday to inquire.

Dose this restaurant have inside seating?

It's an outdoor tiki hut.

What a DOPE, PIRATE THEMED, speakeasy to go to grab some delicious drinks! Totally blown away!…read more Tucked, downtown Tampa you enter through a secret bookcase door and you enter a very low key pirate bar! Lighting is dim, which is part of the concept. (Auto flash is needed for pics) The joint, is VERY CLEAN! The staff is awesome and very attentive! They understand process. The drinks are SOOO WELL MADE! I had a Zombie as my first drink, and it is very well presented and STRONG! I prefer,my first drink at an establishment to be strong cause then I can lighten it up later. Then I had a Rum Barrel, not as strong, but well presented and delicious! Note: Prices for drinks are worth every dime! They have a small food menu, but everything on the menu looked delicious, but I did not eat there. This speakeasy is attached to a British pub which I went for food after. (Review to come) All-in-all great spot to come and have a drink you are well treated, appreciated and just a fun experience! I will DEFINITELY come back here for a delicious drink and DEFINITELY will try something off the food menu. I'll just make sure next time I won't go there after a big breakfast lol! Five stars alllllll day long!!!

These are the coolest places in Fla. Secret cryptic entrances with a speakeasy like ambiance…read more Hidden passages and a clear throwback to the days of prohibition. With all that was going on, it's a wonder we could find the exit after all the drinks. The pirate theme was the caveat. A perfectly dimmed atmosphere and willing performers that can conjure up delicious delights. The red light and point on music only enhanced the experience. Plenty of signature drinks, a dozen different beers and even a few dishes are offered. They stir a nice whiskey sour. It's really what suits your fancy. Fear not. They have mocktails, too! 12/25

I'm in town on business and my lawyer insisted I come here for the Blackend Grouper Sandwich…read more Shw was right. Stellar service as soon as I walked in and that continued with Piper, my server. The fries could have been crispier ( Iasked for them crispy/well dine) but the fish sandwich was the star of the show so I didn't mind. I chose the local IPA over the sierra Nevada Hazy and there was no contest - a much better IPA. The Grouper sandwich was MP so I asked, I got severely burned at Legal Seafoods in Boston last year when Mr, Big Shot didn't ask first. Sam's is a wonderful place for all your eatung needs.

After all these years living in the Bay Area, somehow I'd never been to Hudson Beach. Well that…read moreended in March of 2026... when I rolled by Sam's and saw one last parking spot. I had just eaten a huge breakfast, but had to stop. This place is so warm and welcoming, so cool and laid back, so friendly and chill. It's great for all ages. There's a huge deck, overlooking the Gulf... and an extra tiki bar, off to the side (and who doesn't need an extra tiki bar?!) The food menu is tempting and extensive (grouper, stop calling to me!) and the drink menu is fun and fabulous (and also calling to me). I had a banana/amoretto concoction that made me wonder what I'd been doing with my life, when I should have been here. I kept trying to get hungry enough to order food, but couldn't do it. I'll just have to go back ASAP and get you the seafood and starters info you richly deserve. Sam's is right there on the waterfront, next to the picnic pavilion. The private parking lot is sort of small-but somehow I snagged that spot at noon on a Saturday. There's also street parking close by. I'll bet it's packed at night, though, when they have live music and it's sunset time. Come check them out. If you get there before me, please tell me about the food!

This place was recommended to us after kayaking to see the manatees, we asked for a spot with a…read morewater view, and this was the place to come. The building nearby is currently under construction, but surely the location would be much more welcoming once the construction is complete. We ordered the smoked fish dip to share, and I had the fish and chips. The smoked fish dip came with round crackers. I liked that it had a hint of smoky flavor without being overpowering. I'm always a fan of fish and chips, and the portion was generous! The only downside was that the fries were placed under the fish, so by the time I got to them they were a bit greasy and soggy. The view is truly a great selling point -- we spotted birds, fish, and what we believe were dolphins!

The food was really good. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere well, what can you say…read morewhen you're looking out on a beautiful bay? We ordered, fried gator tail, my husband had a tuna poke bowl and I had the grouper bites with an order of french fries. Everything was very good. Service was quick friendly and from our table we saw the beautiful Kings Bay and it was so pretty.. we didn't realize we could sit at the tiki bar, which was right down the path and sit closer to the water, but we'll have to come back to this place and try that out. It's all the same food both places. Everything we ordered you had a choice of fried, blackened, or grilled Our server came back three times to see if everything was good was very attentive and everybody there seemed to work like a team, which makes it nice. .Our total bill came to $69. If we would've used cash, we would've saved three dollars. They also have a gift shop with a bunch of different shirts and Stuffed manatees. You also can book to take a cruise right there out on the bay or to go swimming with the manatees. There is also an attached hotel in boat docks. We will definitely be back there!!!
