Rays for breakfast is a must go to place. I ordered & consumed delicious Eggs Benedict with grits cooked perfectly. I ate at counter & while it was busy at 10am, Nancy provided excellent service & coffee refills. I scanned the dining area & saw many happy faces at tables small & large. It was a place the locals frequent. I would go to Reds for breakfast or lunch anytime. read more

Awesome servings of food . Cinnamon rolls are awesome and I order one for breakfast every time I go. My coffee cup is always full and hot. Great servers. Pancakes are as big as the plate so be careful as to how many you order! read more

Outdoor service and the atmo sphere were great but also the breakfast was outstanding!

service was good. ambience was cute, old timey. the food and drink was a little iffy. we all got water to start, and i understand there's nothing they can do about it but the water tasted veryyyy iron heavy? left a very weird taste in your mouth. the coke was similar, tasted strange. my mom got the country fried steak and really enjoyed it, i thought it was kind of average and flavorless? my dad got the burger and said it was good. my sister got the chicken motz and said it was good, but not really anything to write home about. i got the chicken rodeo and the way the chicken breast fit on the bun left a lot of open space on the bun. maybe a different bun style would be better for the shape of the breast? the bbq sauce that was on it was super sweet, not really my taste. overall, i think it's pretty average and a perfectly alright spot to go if you just got done tubing down the river :) read more

I would leave 10 stars if I could. Ashley was an amazing server and the food was out of this world. So glad our friends recommended this place. I would highly recommend. Everything we ate was great but the seafood special I ordered was one of the best meals I've had. read more

Food is always good and you get a lot of it. Place stays busy so be prepared to wait!

Very nice restaurant been there a couple of times and brought family there can't wait to go back

Great Breakfast and Lunch. Can be a bit pricey but good value for the buck. If you like to eat this restaurant is for you Generous portions

We love this place! Maggie is the best! We always have leftovers. The sandwiches are huge, and the fries are the best. Went for my dad's birthday and they surprised him with a cinnamon roll the size of a dinner plate and of course the singing!!! :) We always bring our out-of-town guest here to eat. read more

Excellent breakfast! Loved home fries. Eggs Benedict great. Great atmosphere. Very busy. Service friendly and outstanding. Loved the idea of the tip cups. Well oiled machine! read more

Really enjoyed my first trip to Red's. I had the western and so did my mother. Dad ordered a custom omelet based on the Meat Lover's. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the ambiance. There is some really cool time period license plates and metal marketing panels as decorations. I was happy that we sat next to the fireplace, and I immediately knew there was a real fire that had been recently extinguished by the aroma of the fire. Meals were full sized, and neither my parents finished. Staff was beyond superb, they quickly flipped their tables and were polite. Table, booth, and bar seating. As well, we all liked the coffee. read more

Red's Restaurant - Check out the stuff in the Masonry! There is a lid, a hammer, a wrench, a grinder, some glass, and more! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hernando, Florida

Eggs were way over cooked, sausage was under cooked, and potatoes were cold. Heard this place was good but from my experience I say not good. Waitress walked by 4 times seeing my plate at edge of the table and asked if anything was wrong by time she did my wife was almost done so I didn't get to eat. read more

I have always had a good meal here. Just yesterday we had the corned beef hash w/eggs and they cooked the corn beef perfect. Another great breakfast read more

I know how popular this restaurant is but this being my 4th time time here will be my last. The waitress was horrible, my wife's eggs were not hot, home fries were good, toast was delivered late & was soggy. Last year I saw a massive plate of crispy country fried steak & decided to try it. I had the gravy on the side & the chicken fried steak left over pieces & was soggy. The green beans were the most disgusting I have ever had. We will never return to to this place. It always amazes me when people think quantity equals a high restaurant rating. Very disappointed read more

Holy cow, what a place! WAY out (sort of) in the country. A small creek / wetlands right next to the outdoor seating. Expected a gator to cozy up and get some crumbs. Great food, good prices, family atmosphere. Brand new waitress but she did great. Plan to wait, but not too bad read more

Been going to Red's since it opened ! So it saddens me to have to write this review! I stopped in for Lunch this past week and got my first bad meal there ever. I ordered a Meat Ball sandwich and a side order of fruit. First of all the fruit was dried out and stale looking. That was ok I let it slide. But when I got my sandwich it was another story. They weren't even meat balls ; they looked like flattened pieces of hamburger with a little sauce on top .Then as I started eating it ; I ran into these hard pieces of meat ; like overcooked ; reused meat. They were about the size of grapes . At that point I no longer could enjoy my meal and left. Now I had many a good meal at Red's ; but this is one I would definitely scratch off the menu in the future ! Like Granny once said to me ; if ya wanna a nicea meatball ; stay home and make it yourself or go to an Italian Deli. read more

Love their chicken fried steak for breakfast Friendly staff and good service. Get there early on weekends to avoid lines

My favorite place where the waitresses are sweet and helpful and I don't have to worry about my food being undercooked or worse. I am thankful we have a Nice place like this to go. The place makes you feel like you're eating in grammas house. Love the French toast. They should get better syrup. I wouldn't mind paying more for good syrup. That said I love the outdoor seating this time of year it so nice to get that little breeze and enjoy the ambiance of everything they have like the birdhouses someone made I guess. good food you can't beat it. read more

A true American classic. Very good service, huge menu, nice folks. Don't be afraid to sit at the bar and have a big breakfast

This place is always packed. We decide to see why. I suggested other to enjoy the little bit of wait time to eat here. My god the food was amazing. Thé amour of food is insane and if you like pancakes only order them. They were the size of dinner plates but half inch thick. The country fried steak melted like butter in my mouth. Southern home cooking at its finest. read more

Great place, great food. Just a local gem. One of the best CFS I've ever had. No pretentious BS. Gets super busy on weekends. Lives up to the hype. read more

My wife and I enjoyed an occasional stop here at Reds. We decided we will no longer stop here, The prices have gone out of control. Crazy like. We also felt the quality of the food declined as well. It was great while it lasted, but would no longer recommend this place at all. I will say there waitress staff is great. I would guess there outrageous prices are hurting there tips tremendously. read more

I know that you have all heard the hype about Red's. BELIEVE IT! If you are visiting Marion or Citrus County and are looking for an incredible country-style breakfast, then you are required to visit Red's Restaurant. The food is a simple southern style like you would eat at your grandma's house. Imagine eating at a mom and pop version of Cracker Barrel. You will see several similarities between the two businesses regarding the menu items available and the decor of the dining area. I am a huge fan of the Country Fried Steak with the white gravy. It has always been freshly cooked and tastes fresh. The restaurant is located in the middle of State Road 200 and is ALWAYS busy! Make sure that you are willing to wait for breakfast when committing. You will not regret making the journey. read more

Stopped in here today and was highly impressed. My friend had the fried green tomato sandwich and I had the country fried steak breakfast. My friend was super happy and that was best country fried steak I've ever had read more

Red's Restaurant - Country fried steak and eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hernando, Florida

Trailer trash ambience. Mediocre food. Very large portions. None of what we had was worth mentioning. Pretty average "country food" marketed to tourists. Hardworking staff. I feel like I could've gone to Cracker Barrel or Darrel's Diner and gotten the exact same thing at a lower price. Dining room is very crowded with loud and inconsiderate patrons. Nothing remarkable. read more

I stopped here for breakfast while visiting family in Ocala this week. We pulled in and there were a bunch of cars for breakfast on a Tuesday morning so I took that as a good sign. Our party of 5 was seated in the back at a long table with plenty of space. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The food was quickly served and refills were offered multiple times on our coffee and water. The food was very good and portion sizes are huge. I enjoyed two overeasy eggs with toast and potatoes. My husband enjoyed the southwestern omelet which was packed full of sausage and veggies. My aunt ordered one pancake and it was massive, it was literally hanging over the sides of the plate and was over an inch thick in the middle. Top notch restaurant and I look forward to returning when Im in town again! read more

Red's Restaurant - Two eggs overeasy with potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hernando, Florida

If your in this rural stretch Red's is an oasis for breakfast and lunch. A small but quaint stop with a vintage southern decor. The food and service are good but at peak times you may encounter a brief wait. read more

Really like to sit outside. Breakfast is wonderful. Portions are large and service is very good. The biscuits and gravy are my favorite.

Amazing! Best Burger...Mushroom & Swiss Smothered in Onions, (Cooked To Order) YUM!!!! My husband had the French Dip. It was great. The Coleslaw was awesome! The mixed vegetables were also very good. Great service! We will be back! Breakfast dishes looked appetizing also. read more

We had breakfast on the patio overlooking the water. I enjoyed the eggs benedict. The egg was nicely done and oozy. The hollandaise was just enough, not smothered like you get in some places. Potatoes were seasoned but I looked to add a little salt, but because of the humidity the salt did not pour. (I would suggest a grinder style instead of a shaker). My sister had the egg sandwich with bacon. I made the mistake of saying "well done", next time I'll say "Crispy ". She said the coffee was good too. We will be back for lunch in the future. read more

I like the places atmosphere, the food is great! That being said their waitresses are rude and don't explain the restaurants rules utilize after you order. I ordered sausages with my food. I was never told that they had my give flat sausages unless you ask. No how the hell are you suppose to know that unless you are told. So they are upset when I told them to replace them. I wonder how much food they waist by doing that? read more

It's a bit off the beaten path perhaps, but as soon as you see the amount of vehicles in the parking lot you'll realize that it's worth the drive from wherever you may roam. It's also surprisingly large inside, so don't let the number of cars in the parking lot deter you from coming in. The food was awesome. I had the aptly titled "gut buster" consisting of two eggs, two sausage links or patties, grits (or potatoes) and two of the largest pancakes I've ever encountered. Everything was fresh and tasty. Even the coffee was better than expected. Large portions, fair prices, prompt and friendly service, and attractive atmosphere - I highly recommend this place. read more

Love this place. Lots of character and the food is excellent. Going back with the visitors I get.

Wow really great food all three times I have been here. Portions are nice size. Plenty of left overs. Real nice sights inside too. I am impressed with this place. Wish they had longer hours would make a nice supper time place too. read more

This restaurant is the best. Food portions are big, everything is delicious and tasty. My favorite is the liver and onions. But really nothing has ever disappointed me. This is my absolute favorite restaurant hands down. read more

See all

We enjoyed our recent visit. The portions are large and they constantly check on you and your coffee. It can be a little pricey but worth the cost for excellent quality and service! read more

Corned beef hash, eggs over easy, hashed brown potatoes, and a half order of biscuits and sausage gravy. My sister and her husband were visiting. Sure it was a day's nutrition, snd then some. But, the occasion called fir something memorable. We were seated at a picture window overlooking trees. Calming. The waitress was friendly and efficient. The decor is major rustic. In a single word? Comfortable. It's a memory I plan to repeat with other guests. read more

I have been a Reds customer for the last 10 years. (Thanks for the extra 20 pounds). I have never been disappointed. The food is constantly EXCELLENT! It won't matter, breakfast, or lunch you won't leave hungry. Reds is everything that other restaurants try to be. Thanks so much!!! read more

Go hungry or willing to share, the portions are huge! You'll definitely have leftovers unless you're a big eater. I've tried several menu items over several visits and all were delicious. Breakfast, brunch and lunches only, they're open from 7am - 2pm every day except Monday. Location is near the Withlacoochee River just off Hwy 200 southwest of Ocala. The grounds outside are pleasantly landscaped and nice to walk around after enjoying your meal. Servers were friendly and attentive. Prices are very reasonable. Recommendable and encouraged if you're in the area or looking for a pleasant road trip and dining destination. read more
