    Great little snack shack on the beach. They offer many options for food, not the typical frozen fish sandwich or french fries that you would expect. Service is friendly and fast, even though they must be so hot in there! Everything is fried though, so something to keep in mind. You order at the window and they give you a post it with your number on it. When your order is ready they announce your number over the speaker system they have there and you pick up your order. Super easy! Lots of picnic table style seating and hungry birds looking for a snack. Everything was very clean as it's right next to the showers for people to rinse the sand off before walking up to the eating area. We tried the fried okra, zucchini, and grilled cheese. The fried okra and zucchini were so good. Perfect beach snack! They also offer fountain drinks and frozen lemonade. The lemonade is a bit too sweet for me, but still refreshing when it's 90 degrees at the beach!

    Excellent selection of fast food and local not tourist prices. Food was fresh and delicious. Pop was Pepsi and had a good formula. Taste was right on with expectations.

    Lots of seating

    This place has pretty decent food for a beach cafe! It's a little expensive... I mean $10 something for two chicken fingers & fries... but it's good food! I was impressed! Their frozen lemonade & slushees are great! It's pretty much the only place for food, but it's good!

    Coconut Shrimp with French fries and Cole Slaw..... so delicious!!

    Came here for the first time with some friends while visiting town on an adventure day. While at the beach we decided to get a bit and ate here. We ordered the following: coconut shrimp, cheeseburger with bacon and cheese, fish and chips and mahi wrap and side of onion rings..... all the food was outstanding!!! The atmosphere was super relaxed and chill. Amazing overall experience A+++

The pickup board was completely full of names and there was zero organization or communication from the staff. My order said it would be ready at 7:23 PM, and I didn't receive it until 8:10 PM. We live about 25 minutes away, and I even went in around 7:30 to give them extra time, but I was still left waiting and basically ignored. To make it worse, my girlfriend ordered shrimp, chicken, and steak, and the order was missing the shrimp entirely. The pickup area was a total mess, a mob of people crowded around the pickup area, not even dining in, and it honestly felt like a fire safety hazard. People trying to dine in couldn't even enjoy themselves because the whole front area was chaos. After a while. Same would drop off an would be left thinking, is my order done , did they finish it ? Is it just sitting in the shelf there . Nobody is actively manning the pick up orders. Seems like there are too many ways to place orders at this location and they can not handle the volume. First and last time coming here. Not worth the wait or the frustration.

Every single time it's been 45 to 60 minutes from the time I ordered till the time I get the food (takeout) The staff is nice and polite. But theres a serious disconnect. I was surrounded by many other highly irritated delivery drivers and diners who were not happy watching dine in customers get their food while our pickup time had passed by over 20/30 min. The owner clearly DGAF about this business, and corporate doesnt seem to care if the owners are absent and it ruins their brand reputation. Im sure it wont help but Im emailing corporate and tagging them with this recurring issue. Get an owner who wants to be present and will actually work, or close up.

Also visited the Silver dolphin with my children, for Mother's Day and on St. Patrick's Day. The silver dolphin never disappoints. Hernando Beach restaurant that frequently has a short wait for seating... but is 100% worth the wait! Staff are small-town friendly and feels like home. While you wait, there is a large gift shop to peruse with decent pricing from local artists. Weather permitting, ask for seating outside. But if they are really full, the indoor seating is almost as nice (plus it has air-conditioning). Weekend specials on certain beverages, so early birds always save more money. We had the fish tacos, shrimp, tacos, watermelon Mojito, and steak sub. The fish tacos were divine and my daughter loved the shrimp tacos as well. Breakfast platters are healthy portions and also didn't disappoint. If you get there early, they have weekend mimosa and Bloody Mary specials (BOGO). Our favorite person was an elderly woman that cleans up the dishes. So incredibly sweet, kind and personable. Staff is very efficient, friendly, and food arrives rather quickly... along with beverages. Great view overlooking a canal, small deck on canal, complete with view of snapping turtles, cool breeze, shade, and areas to take pictures (dock, mermaid statues, dolphin statue, florida signage, etc.) We will definitely be back (again)!

Add a half booth, you know, the time with a bench on one side and chairs. On the other where we were presented with 2 coffee mugs and asked if we wanted anything to drink While we looked at the menu, we told the host that we will order shortly. So she said okay and left. Upon looking around, we noticed that several tables were empty. But still dirty, and then we looked at our coffee mugs, and saw that they were dirty. So when our waitress showed up within a couple of minutes we asked for new cups And some coffee, and as soon as she came back to the table, she just poured coffee into 2 new cups without us. Even looking at them and then given a few more minutes to place a order We noticed that the table beside us was starting to get cleaned then they left without taking the dishes, we thought that was kinda odd being that my friend and I were previous restaurant owners ourselves what we understand that people get busy and then about 5 minutes later, the person came back and finished up the table. And at that time we placed our order Of which I ordered a special that they were running at the time. Mine was a italian type sandwich, and she ordered a taco neal without avocado, the food arrived not too long after we were there presented to us in a decent manner. They both looked good but to our surprise, both of our meals were pretty bland and the aforementioned coffee that was given to us had a very burnt, bitter taste to it. So we both decided to just drink our lemon water which the limits for the most part and her bowl of fruit, whether the best tasting options that we were given. Because my Italian sandwich was bland and the chorizo on the sausage are in the sauce was very overpowering. And I really would like to have enjoyed my sandwich but it was bland and almost tasteless. It did look good as did my friends breakfast tacos, she told me that the best part of it was the fruit bowl to help take away the taste in her mouth from it, i like trying different things whenever I go to a First Watch when I go. But this one did not seem to match the expectation that I've had at others I've been to And lastly, as with a lot of restaurants these days, as we were opening straws And discarding napkins and putting in a nice pile for the waitress to take away, it sat there until after we were done with our meal. Typically when you go to a table and you're asking questions and credibility with customers, you would clear away any trash and stuff around them if you can And do anything you can to comfort your customer other than that the waitress was attentive, just in my opinion, not awake yet, I don't know if they had a bad weekend or what but this is not what you would want. At a higher end breakfast place, I may try it again in the future. And see if they get their stuff together, in my opinion, or I may just go to another and see how they compare.

It's kind of like an old fashioned diner place, ample tables and they have a bar with high top chairs, they serve beer and wine. The menu is on the wall, no missing it, you order by the bar and find a table to sit. Very clean and organized place, employees are very friendly. They have a soda dispenser with Coke products and you get all the refills that you want. They also have a condiment table with plastic ware, ketchup, mustard etc. We ordered and our food was delivered to us in a timely fashion, piping hot. We both ordered double cheeseburgers, and split a large fry, large enough for two people and the fry's were hot out of the fry basket, delicious. Burgers were to die for, juicy, tasty with fresh toppings, excellent. Their prices are so darn reasonable, families on a budget can go out and treat themselves, that's great! Huge menu, something for everyone. Highly recommend JR's Good Time, gosh, why did we wait so long to try this great place? Come see for yourselves. Debbie
