Golden Corral is an All-You-Can-Eat buffet that has: a salad bar, a taco station, a pasta and parmigiana station, a Southern food station, a burger & fries station, a dessert bar, and the Prime Rib Station. In short, there's something for everyone, including picky eaters, vegetarians, and carrot cake addicts like me. Imo their best dish is the Beef Pot Roast. The lunchtime cost is very reasonable, the dinner cost almost twice as much, but they get you on the drinks. It's $2.49 to add soda or tea to your meal. Believe you me, you will eat $8 worth of food and everyone in your party will find their flavor. Speaking of parties, families have 10-12 people parties there now and you don't have to bus your own tables. The waitresses fill your sweet tea, give you napkins, remove your empty plates, and sanitize between every customer. They are a bit obsessive about sanitizing. Masks are required to enter, but can be removed at your table and they practice Social Distancing. Why did I remove a star? Because their dishwasher isn't hot enough and sometimes the plates and silverware have food stuck on them, but then I just take a different plate. I do recommend this buffet because the Pastry Chef is truly outstanding. Don't miss out on the carrot cake.

We had quite the issue here tonight out of what i believe to be a female manager. We chose to celebrate a birthday at this location tonight. What a bad choice that was. It wasn't super busy this evening but there was a small line for steak so my mother and two daughters waited in line. My mother had an emergency so she needed to go to the restroom. My two daughters stood behind in line. My mother asked my oldest to get a piece when it was their turn. When it was their turn my youngest got hers and left apparently they didn't realize there was two of them so the lady came from the back yelling at my child to get in the back of the line in front of the entire restaurant when she had been standing there with her sister for a steady 10 minutes give or take. Her story was that she mistook them and thought it was the same child asking again. "Bs" story to say the least because why would you ask the child to go to the back of the line if you knew she had already been standing there and thought it was the same child. No she thought nobody was with my child so she got rude but little did she know I was standing behind her. It quickly turned loud and ugly in defense of my child. An adult woman should never speak to a child the way she did and no apology in the world can make up for her poor behavior and bad decisions today towards a young child. I understand that we all make mistakes however not when it's involving a child. If you thought a child skipped a line you do not raise your voice at them. You explain it to them but in this case my two were already awaiting their turn. People do often mistake them for twins but again even if she had she still knew that she had been waiting in line. The only difference was that their grandmother left the line with them due to a restroom emergency. The lady never apologized to my daughter. On the brighter side of things, we did have a super nice server so thank you to her at least.

Dirty carpet.

Great restaurant, but in a seemingly odd location. Wish this was located on a Canal or in Hernando…read moreBeach for better aesthetics/atmosphere. However, it is nice that this is conveniently located just off of US 19. That said, this is a great, quick bar type atmosphere with good food. They have a onion appetizer that is similar to the blooming onion at Steakhouse's. It is fabulous. They also have drink specials like a rocket pop during specific holidays and are quite tasty. Conveniently located behind steak 'n Shake in the Publix plaza. Indoor seating is air-conditioned and they have booths, which are nice when you're with family wanting conversation. Outdoor area is shaded and has a TV in a breeze (wish they'd clean up the trash in the retention pond because it takes away from this experience). Still, the food, selection, quality, and drinks special shells have brought us back on occasion.

We've never had a bad meal at Dockside. Our favorite is their onion soup which is outstanding. We…read moreoften get it with an order of chicken tenders.

One warnihng: avoid going on Sunday afternoon/evening wihen the games are on unless you are a football fan. It's loud and you may have to wait for a table. But after all, it is a sports bar!

I was borderline on giving them three or four stars…read more The good things - the service. Our server was very nice, she was very friendly and was attentive. We could see that she had picked up another big table and it looked like they were running her pretty hard. When that happened, one of the bartender stepped in and helped us out. The server didn't even have to ask. You could tell there's a teamwork element there. That's a good sign. Another good thing was most of the food. The salad had a lot of color to it. It seemed to be worth the price. The fish tacos were good. Chicken wings and chicken nuggets were cooked perfectly as well. Even the picky kids enjoyed their meals. The things that needed some improvement - the wait time for food. When we came in, they had posted and did say that it was summer and because of that times can be slower. But wow. I was not expecting to wait over an hour for most things that needed to be dropped into a fry basket. The kitchen must be super small. Instead of fries that were partially flavored, offer chips. Open up that fryer for food. Some of the food had absolutely no flavor. I think the thing that needed the most love was the potato salad. Maybe we got the last serving, but it was dry, dry, dry. No salt. No pepper. Did not see any egg, couldn't taste any mayonnaise or mustard. Didn't even see a diced pickle. I was expecting southern style potato salad that was more creamy. It was like dry mashed potato's. It's a pretty rustic building, and when I feel like you put the word rustic in there, you have to give it some grace. It could use some TLC. But the view, the view is absolutely fantastic. We sat inside because there were no outside seats available. But from our inside seat, we could still see a good chunk of outside. Seating outside looked a little warm, even in the evening because we didn't see any fans. At least inside we had some air-conditioning. We would go back. We think that the good things outweighed the things that needed some work.

We have visited the silver dolphin several times and with friends. Mostly for brunch (added a few…read morephotos here). 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)!
