NEW: Mikang Sushi, Hernando,  2492 N Heritage Oaks Path, Mon-Sat 11-9; Closed Sunday; I have this recommendation from the nextdoor.com website… and this is what the person said about the new place in town:  Mikang Sushi…”We lived in Okinawa Japan for five years, so we’re pretty picky about Japanese food. I’ve been searching ever since we moved here in 2021 for good Ramen and sushi we’ve tried everywhere from Crystal River to Ocala and finally found a restaurant with authentic Ramen and great sushi! They just added two types of Ramen to the menu last week.” No delivery but they do take out.

We tried Mike’s Other Place for lunch in Hernando (it’s a deli and hot dog place). After you enter, grab your drinks from the cooler, stand in line to place your order. They bring your lunch to your table. Art had a coney dog. I had a container of seafood salad, and it was OK. Corned Beef sandwich was HUGE. Very reasonable prices and this a very popular place. I also brought home a lobster, shrimp, and scallop cannelloni tray. It was very good for $11.99 (three cannellonis).  They usually have 3 choices of “take home” to heat up yourself..2780 N Florida Ave (Hwy 41); 352-419-4274 

Paige’s Root Beer –A place for old fashioned fried hamburgers and homemade root beer. Often wins the “best Hamburger” award in CC. from NEXTDOOR SITE: “Paiges has that old fashion burger in the softest bun.I have not found that taste since my early days in Chicago.

Cady’s Cafe is a coffee place, but they have a nice-sized breakfast/lunch menu. This is a paper plate, plastic fork type place with very reasonable prices. Cozy size: 4 tables inside and a couple tables outside. They do have ready to go items, as well as, carry-out business.. Check their hours. Art ordered a BLT and it was OK, little lacking on the tomato. I ordered the quiche which is called a breakfast pie, and it was OK, but large for enough for leftovers.
