New Port Richey Travel Guide

As of yet I haven't found too many fresh water sites, but if you are into saltwater fishing, or fishing in general, the west coast around Clearwater all up and down has many piers and places to fish. We go fishing quite a bit and we love it. Crabbing is also extremely good just about anywhere you can toss a trap. Sometimes its better than the other type of fishing.
There are a few state parks that are fairly good for fishing, although we havent checked them out extensively yet. I will update this when we do.

Cracker Barrel is a chain restaurant that describes itself as a Country Store and Restaurant. The most enjoyable part of our visit was browsing through some of the unusual (and very overpriced) items in the store.

The menu is a bit of a mix with the focus on homestyle cooking: 'something' and biscuits, corn muffins, stew, turnip greens, etc. Disappointingly, the food was just mediocre. Service was good, prices middle of the road. The decor was fun - old advertising signs, old photos, farm equipment, early kitchen appliances, etc.

If there's a waiting list, make yourself comfortable in one of the many handmade rocking chairs near the entrance.

Open for Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner. Sunday through Thursday - 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Friday & Saturday - 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

My wife and I decided to try something different and we had both seen this restaurant before in passing and decided to try it. It is called Bavarian Restaurant.
It is a smallish restaurant that looks like a converted house. The atmosphere is great. When we went, there was only one other customer there. I don't know why. The food was excellent, the service was the best I have seen in a long time and the whole experience was one that convinced us that we will be back.

Favorite Dish: Since this was the first time we had been there, I can only write on what we had. My wife had the Meat Pancakes. I had a bite of it and it was awesome. Im not sure what kind of sauce they used to top it but it was very tasty, very light. I had the Gypsy Steak which is a pork loin steak made very thin and topped with onion and bacon and spices. Very delicious. We both had spetzel, which is a kind of dumpling. Very good, but add salt. It is served with a bit of red cabbage on the side which also helps the flavor when mixed in.
The music was enjoyable and not overpowering.
The service we received was second to none. Some of the best we have had. We were checked on frequently but not intrusively. Very friendly waitress. Pricing was very good as well.
If you want European food, bypass The German Restaurant, and go for this one.

No matter what type of food you want, this city has just about everything you could ask for in restaurant fare. And if they dont, the towns nearby surely will. Two of our favorites at the moment are Catches and Niko's Place. Not bad prices and excellent food.

The food is great here. Fresh seafood, fair prices.
The restraunt is truly beautiful with views of the canals from Gulf of Mexico.
Don't forget to get a glimpse of the Sea Castle.
Underneath the restraunt is a bar with a dock. You can get exotic drinks and listen to music down here.
Great experience over-all.

Favorite Dish: The crab legs are delicious because they are my personal favorite. They are always fresh at Leverock's.
