My wife & I were staying in Hernando for the weekend, and we are always up for trying a local ice cream shop. So we stopped at Area 51 mid-afternoon on a Saturday to sample their product.
The shop is relatively small, but has plenty of indoor seating for several small groups of patrons and a couple of spots on the sidewalk out front. The ice cream counter is small, with a limited variety of flavors made in small batches. The young lady behind the counter was friendly, and offered us both samples (which we accepted). I was unimpressed by the Dutch Chocolate that I sampled, so I ordered a single scoop of the Bourbon Butter Pecan. My wife ordered a scoop of Cookies n Cream. Their ice cream has more of a look & consistency of gelato, not creamy & slightly gritty. But the flavors were very bright & fresh, which is why I raised my rating to a '4' for an otherwise average ice cream stop.

I have not had a mediocre lunch here in 3 years. All have been very good. The sandwiches are made on fresh, homemade bread, the quiche is delicious. Service is always good and friendly. A great place to have lunch. Try the front porch.

The wait is not long but that's not reason enough to have a meal there. I've given them three tries and all three times I've been disappointed. Warm sandwiches are not at all warm. Expansive menu but disappointing food.

Unfortunately they are missing an outside sign on the building but look for the sign at street and on door. Family owned AND they serve Almond milk if you prefer. NICE folks and even better coffee.

AC's on the Hernando Town Square is in a convenient location, with curbside angle parking in front & nearby. The exterior reminded me of a former grocery store, and the interior was more pub than steakhouse.
Our table service was friendly but not particularly attentive, especially for a slow Friday early evening with at least three waitresses on duty in a relatively small dining space. I ordered the center cut filet, and the sweet potato mash with walnuts as my side dish. My wife ordered the Spring Salad with shrimp. All of our food was well prepared & presented and had good flavor. But for a small town eatery whose decor is reminiscent of an Applebee's or a Chili's, I was quite surprised by the entree prices. Maybe the local economy can support such an establishment, but to my mind $30 & up steaks have gotta be better than the cut I had.

My husband has only one favorite shop in our home town & it's this Donut shop. He's their biggest tipper, because he love an old fashioned chocolate donut with a cup of coffee, keep the change. Today we all ate there, i enjoyed the blueberry muffin, our son had kolache (hot dog with jalapeños baked in a roll). Rose, the owner visits France.

Went for breakfast with friends and our kids, but they weren't serving breakfast anymore so we ordered off the lunch menu. The chips, queso, and guacamole were good. The enchiladas weren't bad, and my kids loved the quesadillas. My son ordered a pizza off the kids menu (not smart, but he wouldn't listen). It's a pizza with queso on it, and he wouldn't even touch it. It was strange, but the other kids ate it. Overall, it wasn't bad, but south Texans have to be careful getting TexMex outside of Texas!

What a quaint little place. It's located just right off the beautiful historic square.
The cheesecake is creamy, flavorful and a true treat. We have tried several flavors from strawberry to carmel chocolate chunk.
They also have flavor of the week specials.
You will not be disappointed with the slices or buying a whole cake.
Enjoy!
