Brooksville, Florida

Hernando County · 215 restaurants

Brooksville is the county seat of Hernando County, and its hilly, historic downtown around the courthouse square sets it apart from the flat terrain typical of much of Florida. The city's 212 restaurants serve a rural and small-town population where cattle ranching and agriculture remain part of the local economy, alongside a growing number of commuters drawn north from the Tampa Bay area by lower housing costs. Brooksville's annual Florida Blueberry Festival and Hernando County Fair draw regional crowds, but day-to-day dining here reflects an Old Florida, county-seat character increasingly rare closer to the coast.
