Heidi's - Hernando

We had never been to the Heidi’s in Inverness but now that it’s in a new location we are closer and decided to give it a try. The service was ok…had a couple instances where my drink was completely empty for 5 minutes at a time but the staff was pleasant. The food was reasonably priced so it won’t break the bank. I read a lot of the recent reviews and they are similar to my experience. I ordered a meatball sub. It’s the only meatball sub I’ve ever questioned if I wanted to eat all of it because of the taste. It was very bland, not good at all. My wife ordered the chicken parm and it was flavorless as well and she couldn’t eat more than half of it due to lack of taste. They did provide garlic bread which was also not good. It’s as if everything they served was missing ingredients because I can’t imagine a restaurant intentionally serving food this bland.I will likely give it another try sometime in the future and possibly the kinks will be worked out with this new location. If the owner/managers read this you should do something about this soon. You’ve been around for a long time and I’d hate to see a beloved hometown restaurant go under because of a bad cook or a change in recipe for cost savings. I feel their prices are reasonable enough that they’d still be very competitive if they raised prices 10% but served tasty food.

Very home like feel and the staff was friendly. The food was unbelievable some of the best chicken Parmesan I’ve ever had

The dinner salads were tiny. The entrees were terrible. My linguine and garlic shrimp were swimming in bland oil with jarred minced garlic. One bite was enough! My husband had the baked Ziti the sauce was pretty plain and the pasta was small and under cooked.

First of all I’m a fan of Heidi’s. I have always have been. I’m not a Italian Yankee, but I think the food is great. Since it moved to Hernando. I heard 1 of the cooks bought it and moved it. The homemade soups are still delicious and the chicken parmigiana is my favorite. I don’t need an Italian telling me what’s wrong with it bc I don’t care. It’s delicious and with 1 entree I can get at least 2 meals out of it. The amount u get is quite large. Someone complained their prices went up on a review. Wake up sir, so have everybody else’s. Have u been to the grocery store lately? I think it’s priced reasonable, great food, large quantities and the service is amazing compared to what is was in Inverness. They never had enough servers and they worked their servers to death. Only 2 for the whole restaurant. Now it’s so much better. The bread has changed. But I’ll take less bread over great service any day. Heidi’s is a must to check out in Hernando.

This place has gone DOWN since they moved ! They are only taking cash supposedly someone stole their credit card machine . They only give you a handwritten receipt it does not have tax paid or anything ! The wings were absolutely disgusting! Took one bite and spit it out! Also before they offered garlic bread ... no garlic bread with pasta dinner! We had to call because we went there and they were closed ! No hours posted on the door ! We called and asked for their hours ... after calling about ten times !They do not answer their phones and when they do ... Be Prepared to hold on the phone and hung up on!UPDATE! They told us that they would refund us. We only took ONE bite and they only gave us “some” of the money back! And yes we returned all of their LOUSY OLD food! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ! The “new owner” is very rude! I wonder why they have been closing early? The word is out! Bad business!
