“Happened on this cafe and so pleased we did. The cafe has adjoining rooms - one mostly with booths & a long counter and the other with tables & chairs. So clean and pleasant. The waitress went above and beyond with our menu choices. We were there about 2:30 and this is near their 3:00 closing, but we did not feel rushed. The waitress explained that they had been very busy earlier in the day, so there were a few items that they were out of, but suggested great substitutions. I really liked their breakfast and lunch choices.”

“My wife & I ate just days ago & was the worst experience in years, cod was Extremely heavily breaded, the mashed potatoes were actually barely cooked baked potatoes with the top mashed a little with a fork? The fries my wife got were undercooked and cool. I am afraid to complain too much as the cook has ways for revenge when he “fixes” the food & returns it. The waitress was fine. Never Again……..Never!”

We returned to Florida a month later and visited this place 4 of our 5 days in town! There’s so much offered here! Waffle cones, waffle bowls, homemade snow cones, sundaes, cheesecake, shakes, cotton candy, banana splits, floats…. I’ve never seen a “snack” shop offer so much!! Cute atmosphere, great prices, amazing service!!!”

“From Tampa drove down and picked my mother up in Osprey then heading down to one of her favorite restaurants to enjoy once again following their reopening a week earlier. All dining is presently outside and this was an absolutely perfect day to have visited. It was very crowded at 5 PM but everything from beginning to end moved smoothly and very enjoyable and tasty. Loving the valet service, Mr. David was a gentleman and most helpful. We put our name in for a table suggested a 30 min wait we were seated in about 15 happy to receive that cell call that are time was up! Outside seating is arranged very comfortably, (plenty of shade covering, also fans when needed) and our meal superb! I personally always enjoy the side item of 2 pumpkin bread slices they have over reg side of fries or slaw which is unique. A special thank you to Ms Sydney who had such a sweet smile lively personality, and was both professional and attentive throughout. Also want to add restroom services are inside and very impressed with the lovely updates, if there’s such a thing to say, one of the nicest restaurant bathrooms I have ever been in lol. To all of you continue doing a fantastic job and good luck to as you continue moving the restaurant forward following the hurricane. (Valet services, to the general Public, a bit of advice please, yes many times restaurants say free valet, but please please consider handing something when picking up your keys as this location in particular is truly doing you a service with worry free parking and getting you right into the door).”

“Hands Down the Best Neighborhood Spot: Neighbor’s Beer and Wine

If you want a place that feels like home with a heartbeat of genuine warmth, look no further than Neighbor’s Beer and Wine. From the moment I walked in on Derby Day, the energy was electric — hats, laughter, and a crowd that truly knows how to celebrate community.

The owners, Bill and Natalie, are nothing short of spectacular. They don’t just run a bar; they cultivate a neighborhood sanctuary where everyone feels welcome, appreciated, and part of something real. Their friendliness and personal touch shine through in every corner of the place — from Cheryl’s attentive bartending to Heidi’s legendary hot dogs outside, this team knows how to make an impression.

Under their stewardship, the space has transformed into a brighter, more inviting hub, balancing tradition with fresh new energy. The non-smoking policy inside makes it comfortable for everyone, while the outdoor seating ensures no one’s left out. Whether it’s watching football, throwing darts, or rocking the Kentucky Derby hats, this is where memories are made.

If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of Englewood’s best-kept secrets. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a community experience crafted with heart. You’ll leave feeling like family — and believe me, you’ll be coming back for more.

I can't wait to go back”
