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!

Philly cheesesteak

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.

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.

Fresh food with a local vibe, on the intercostal. Friendly and attractive service. It's tuck away into a marina. The delicious food is cooked to order in a food truck, near the tiki bar.

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!

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.

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!

Lobster Rolls
RJ L.

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.

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!

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

a view of the water
Kathy L.

This is a cool little spot off the beaten path. Tucked deep inside a marina, you can pass it right by without even seeing it! Tiki bar vibes & obviously a spot where the locals like to hang out on the water. Service was great (thank you Stephanie!) and the food was delicious too! They close on the early side so be sure to check the hours.

Best sea scallops in the area. A good place to go for a consistently good lunch. Sometimes there's music. Can't beat the outdoor ambience!

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.

Hands down THE MOST IMPRESSIVE TIKI BAR IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!…read more Ive been a lot of places and been to a lot of bars. I find tiki bars to be the funnest theme of bars. Morgan's Cove is the king of all tiki bars. Its so cool, the entrance to the bar is speakeasy style hidden door. Once you walk in its mind blowing how much detail is put into this place. The theme is sea monsters. The walls have carvings of sea monsters. Theres a leviathan hanging above the bar. Theres a really cool handmade pirate ship in a glass case by the bar. Its all so badass and so well done...just a beautiful bar. Chefs kiss. The drinks are amazing too. I went for a rum event. I had 2 different drinks and tasted all of my friend's drinks. All very delicious and hard hitting. Everyone there was super nice. The crowd the staff, theyre all so nice. I would fly out here just to visit this bar again. I highly highly recommend Morgan's Cove!!!

Locating this establishment was pretty easy. Parking was easier !! I located a space directly in front of the place. They also have parking lots every 1-2 blocks. Anyhoo, we had a 45 minute wait; cool. We sat in the car and people watched until it was our time to shine. Finally it was. Whew the entrance was nice. 1 way in and 1 way out of here !! We were taken to a table near the back. This place was very nicely decorated. We were assisted by Breanna who was pretty awesome and helped us pick our beverages of the evening. GREAT CHOICES!! We ordered... Nui Nui Pandan Killer Gochujang Glazed Wings Everything was well crafted The beverages were a great size, well priced, and well concocted. The wings were fresh and a great portion size for hubby and I to share. We had a fantastic time visiting this speakeasy and it's highly recommended !!

I'm in town on business and my lawyer insisted I come here for the Blackend Grouper Sandwich…read more She was right. Stellar service as soon as I walked in and that continued with Piper, my server. The fries could have been crispier (I asked for them crispy/well done) 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 eating needs.

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!

First you check in at the hostess booth in a small room where she does her spiel and fully explains the menu. Then she will lead you inside the restaurant to your seat. We sat in a private nook in the corner which accommodated our 8 people (which the staff was fine with us adding 2 more to our 6 person reservation initially). The entire place is so well decorated and if you look around there's tons of fun details and decor. The menu is made up of a map and they provide everyone with their own personal flashlight to see it. When you order certain drinks, it triggers various special effects. At times, it felt like an adult rainforest cafe with changing sounds and lights. Our server went above and beyond to make our experience great, going all out with his special effects and overall sassiness. You get a two hour allotment and our server did a great job of updating us of how much time we had left. We will definitely be back!
