We were attracted by the Yelp! reviews. I had my eye on the World Famous Chicken Benedict. It was even better than everyone had said it would be! Our server, Jerrica, was wonderful and helped us choose from among the many appetizers as well as and the entree selections for my wife and myself. It has a very local homey feel in all of the best of ways (i..e., made from scratch, not too kitschy). It was a better experience than we expected, and we had high expectations because of all the great reviews we had read. Please make the time to come on down here. (We were in NPR to kayak ourselves.) Yes, I wrote here because I'm writing this before we have finished dessert. Well, I should say our second dessert. We couldn't decide so we went with the Limoncello cake AND the homemade bread pudding, which is huge! We ate the first desert so quickly I didn't get a picture of it. Pics never look as good as the food IRL, but I put one in for posterity. (It looks pretty good!) read more

Wanted Italian food and the reviews were good. We did a carry out. Herschel's is on Main Street in downtown New Port Richey. It's a cute youthful area. We walked into a friendly better diner-like atmosphere. There were booths and a counter. The Parmesan Chicken and the scratch Fettuccine were delicious with hearty portions. The restaurant opens at 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m, and has a daily special. For a made from scratch delicious meal come here. read more

it's a cute little restaurant downtown, Main Street, in Newport, Florida. is the staple of the downtown area?.

Even in a rainy morning the outdoor seating was pleasant. The quiet breezy covered patio was quaint. Service was attentive and non rushed. I split 2 entrees with my girlfriend, who doesn't like to try more food. The Cajun Benedict was delicious. The rue with just enough spice. Grits were a good side dish. The Big D's steak and eggs was great. Two 4oz fillets and eggs, your chose, and I elected for pancakes instead of bread. Hollandaise was on point. So much food! All delicious and we ate it all. I'll be back to try more mouth watering dishes. read more

Service is super welcoming. Our waitress was an absolute gem very kind and friendly. Food is very delicious and reasonably priced. Locally owned and a great place for a meal with parking and included outdoor seating read more

traveling a lot for work gives me the opportunity to try a variety of different restaurants that aren't a chain, but off the chain. This one was a recommendation that did not disappoint in the heart of Newport Ritchie. It is easy to miss but hard to come by the shrimp and grits had a bunch of flavor and great consistency. This is one of those meals you have to have a Pepsi with even if it's 9 o'clock in the morning. There's outside inside seating. This is one of those restaurants where you have to look at what the table next to you get I will definitely go back here. read more

My friend selected Herschel's scratch kitchen because they make everything from scratch. We seated ourselves at a booth, ( please add more cushion to your seats please) they were a bit hard, lumpy and uncomfortable. Our waitress was prompt, but very busy. Our drinks were served right away and refilled when they got low. I ordered the Phili cheesesteak, which was ok. Cut from prime rib, very good. My friend ordered a Rubin, which she said was just ok. The bread was toasted a bit too much and cut her lip. Her sweet potato fries were excellent. My fries were perfectly made. They had a seasoning that gave them that extra umph. Crispy but not too crispy. Our waitress checked on us a few times. It was loud, that was ok. Outside seating was pretty full, empty tables had left over dishes from previous diners so we ate inside. As far as Herschel's scratch kitchen goes, I'd give it 5 stars. But, the parking is horrendous!!!! I had to park 3 blocks away and I'm disabled! The streets are very narrow too. Will I go back? Only if someone drove me. I do recommend you giving Herschel's scratch kitchen a try. Good food, a bit pricy. Good luck finding a parking spot. read more

My friend Elaine and I visited herschel's for lunch. She's been going through it so I wanted to make her day better We stopped inside and were seated at the table, my friend was taking her time making up her mind for drinks, and it was clear the waitress did not have time for her frame of mind. She seemed a bit unhappy. While we waited, and wait you will, because it's a scratch kitchen so they make it all by hand. When asking about the wait, the waitress pulled such a face, and was very passive aggressive in her handling of things, she snottily replied " well it is a scratch kitchen." Look, they werent busy, it was an hour before they closed, so i get she wanted to leave but the rest was uncalled for. My friend ordered the mac & cheese and it was absolutely decadent. I would get that again. Would i come back? Probably not. I get folks have a bad day, just dont take it out on your customers. read more

Herschel's Scratch Kitchen - Thr inside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Port Richey, Florida

On our way home from a weekend on the river. Looking for a new place to try. Good reviews and in a nice spot downtown. Busy place but we had a wait because the kitchen was backed. Plenty of table. Not bad though. Sitting outside is nice. Lots to choose from on the menu plus an additional menu of just benes. So many good sounding choices!!! I got the BIG DADDY'S SOUTHERN REUBEN with Corned beef brisket braised for 6 hours in-house, topped with colestaw. remoulade sauce and swiss cheese melted between marble rye bread. Nice portion size and awesome flavors. Really solid choice. Deb grabbed a couple of sides. Solid spot for a brunch. Today the service took a little while but the food was good. read more

Good service and great food..... one of our favorite places to eat in New Port Richey. Try the macaroni and cheese. It's amazing. Bacon cheeseburger with french fries some of the best. Club sandwich, large portions. I'd like to recommend the bacon cheeseburger with a side order of macaroni and cheese. My daughter had the chicken sandwich and said it was great. read more

Herschel's Scratch Kitchen - Shrimp and grits. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Port Richey, Florida

Tried this place for breakfast. Went on recommendation of a friend and reviews on Yelp. Nice location. Outdoor and indoor seating. Portions were small. Food was served cold. Waitress never checked in after food was served. Very few people in the establishment. Will not be returning. read more

We go weekly...love the food, the service, the vibe and always a relaxing atmosphere with great (fast) service! We bring the fur babies and have weekend brunch! This place never disappoints! read more

Dropped by on a Saturday morning and was seated outside in some nice shade - a must during these hot summer months. The cafe ambiance was neat and the service was great all throughout. I ordered coffee and the farm house eggs benedict served with fried green tomatoes which I felt was unique and flavorful. The eggs benedict and potatoes it came with were both great and very filling! read more

Delicious food. I love their shrimp and grits and their Cobb salad. They have indoor or outdoor seating.

Absolute best Shrimp and grits I have ever eaten! Our waitress Zain was very attentive and made perfect suggestions. My husband said the corn beef hash was excellent. Can't wait to come back read more

One of my favorite and consistent spots for breakfast/lunch. Especially when the weather is nice and you can get outdoor seating. The staff has always been super friendly and accommodating, even when picking up takeout from the bar up front. read more

Awful breakfast. Waffle was hard and cheese omelette way overcooked and flat. Service was fine.

We loved this place for the shrimp and grits!!! It's so flavorful! Our server was amazing, the host was amazing! The location is right in the cutest part of New PR. Can't wait to come back. Even with as busy as this place was they kept the coffee flowing and were so attentive. If you're in the area, this is the spot for breakfast. read more

I would highly recommend anyone come here for their exceptionally delicious dishes. I did come on a weekday so it wasn't as busy as the weekends just be prepared on the weekends to have a little bit of a wait, but it is well worth it. The server was polite and efficient. I was never made to feel rushed and was given plenty of time to peruse the menu. They have both outside and inside seating. I sat outside since it was such a beautiful winter day here in Florida. The shrimp and grits are everything that you would expect. I honestly thought that they would garner at least a Michelin star. The fried green tomatoes are just like your mama makes, maybe a little better. And of course, the sweet tea was everything you would expect for a sweet tea here in the south. read more

Delish brunch when in town for a visit. The reuben was perfect!! Great cole slaw and fries too!! Worth the wait for an indoor table.

We're always blown away at how great the food taste here. And the prices are unbelievable great! It's definitely a favorite for us.

The food was good, and the server was attentive. The cleanliness had a lot to be desired from the busser. Food was swept onto the floor from the tables. The chairs had food residue. The bathroom needed attention too. I brought it to their attention, but it went on deaf ears. read more

Herschel's Scratch Kitchen - Farm house Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Port Richey, Florida

This is a great place. Our breakfast was great. We were in New Port Richey visiting family. We actually went there twice.

Decided to try this restaurant based on reviews and it did not disappoint. Good service and outdoor ambience. Ordered Reuben sandwich and shrimp and grits - they were very yummy and huge portions with leftovers for take-home . Would come back even if it is close to an hour's drive. read more

We arrived at 1:30 and were seated right away. Was hoping for outdoors but the only available seats were in the direct sunlight and since I burn in the moonlight - we opted for inside. We ended up at a table in the middle of the restaurant, directly in the path of a very serious AC vent...so, I was freezing every few minutes. They were busy so I didn't bother asking to move. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as a starter and they were delicious! Hot, crispy, and the remoulade sauce was outstanding!! My only criticism was that they needed a little salt - but that was easily remedied. We ordered the Eugene's fried chicken sandwich and Hazel's grilled chicken sandwich. Both were hot and well presented. They also both benefited from a bit of salt tableside. All in all the food was good and the service was timely - the only complaint was that the chef needed to use a little more seasoning. read more

The Bloody Mary was good. But this is not a scratch kitchen. The biscuit tasted like something off a continental breakfast line. Mediocre

I had the half order of biscuits and got. Simply wonderful tasting. Will definitely go back.

The food is fabulous at this little restaurant!! But don't go if you don't have time for a long wait for your food. Our whole lunch took two hours. And it wasn't because we lingered. The service was slow and the food was slow. Our server was great when she was able to get back to us, but she must've had lots of tables inside also, with all that being said the food was fabulous! I loved sitting outside underneath the umbrella. read more

Zane has such a positive attitude all the time! She's super friendly and inviting. She's my favorite part about coming to Herschel's!

Headed to New Port Richey for a late lunch and found Herschel's has extended hours now! They were serving from a dinner menu and I ordered the Pork Chop with Marsala sauce. What a delicious meal! And my friend ordered a turkey wrap with the soup of the day - Corn Chowder. His eyes got really big looking up from his first taste of chowder and said "This is REALLY good!" Love the extended hours and menu. Looking forward to making my way back soon. read more
