“We went for the Friday night open mic and had the best time! Owner Dan, along with the gals behind the counter - Melissa and Alexis - were absolutely wonderful. We didn't go to eat, but had the pita and green olive tapenade for a snack (delish!!). We will definitely return for a meal - and for the open mic again! Thank you!“
“9 of us. Line was short on a Monday evening but there were plenty of people eating and hanging out. Milkshakes, Sundays, coffees, swirls, floats, Frappes, Smoothies, and at least 36 ice cream flavors. Plenty of choices for our group. Games like putt putt, connect four, checkers scattered on the lawn and plenty of picnic tables. Would definitely recommend.“
“First and foremost...GO HERE !!!! This was the absolute best dining experience I've ever had!!! The food the service EVERYTHING was phenomenal!!! Our waitress Madison was the sweetest kindest waitress I've ever had. Florida is one of the worst places to "eat out". This restaurant completely changed our minds. If you're looking for phenomenal food and service without being rushed or made to feel like you're an inconvenience...this is your spot. Or if you're looking for how to treat customers....just go observe their staff and take some lessons. DARRELL'S is where it's at, my first stop if I'm ever back! Thank you all for a great experience!“
“We love it here. We come, about once a month, usually following our Turtle Patrol session. The food is great, the atmosphere is great. Very accessible location. The highlight is AnnMarie--always smiling, such positivity. She's pretty good at remembering some of our 'usual' orders, but we do throw in a few curve balls.Earlier this week, one of the specials was a Canadian Bacon Omelet with pineapple -- both of my teammates enjoyed it, and made sure to let the owner know on our way out. :)“
“My client John and I came here for lunch and I met the owner and some nice ladies. The entire staff and management was amazing ?Very friendly clean atmosphere and the price is very reasonable.. Thanks for making my first visit a great experience.“
“We absolutely loved the experience, the food was delicious, lamb rack, greek salad and the mixed grill plater. Took baklava to go, pistachios was amazing, kids loved the chocolate baklava. Thank you for awesome service, made us feel welcomed, loved our first time visit, we'll be back again once in town.“
“Great atmosphere and comfortable seating. The bacon was thick and crispy. Strawberry scone was yummy. Check your bill to make sure it is yours. Toast comes unbuttered. The potato casserole is bland compared to Cracker Barrel. Needs cheddar cheese IMHO.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu.“
“Becky and the entire team at King Smoothie operate a clean, professional smoothie shop. They're quick and always deliver a fantastic post-workout smoothie on the go. I've also seen them assist new customers in line, guiding them towards healthy choices based on their preferences and making them feel like part of the family. I highly recommend this spot to locals in Venice, Nokomis, and Englewood!??“
“Succulent lamb with spot-on seasoning and a tasty crab cake tart made for a memorable meal. The waiter, with her impressive knowledge, suggested the perfect choices. Her attentive service and the serene indoor setting created a truly relaxing dining experience. Can't wait to go back!“
“My husband and I stopped in March the 10th and Evan was our server. That young man had 16 people in line waiting to be served. He remained calm, engaged, and very professional. The service is quick and even though the line was very long this young man handling all these people alone didn't excellent job. Don't know who the owner is but you are quite lucky to have him. And no I am not a family member I am from Indiana visiting the area and was quite impressed with your choice of employees. The young man is going to go somewhere in this life.“
“I was on a mission to find really good Mexican food in Venice. This restaurant exceeded my hope because they have the one menu item that is seldom done well: tamales! Hard to say enough about their succulent tamales except best I ever ate. The rest of our meals were also outstanding. My wife raved about her margarita. Then, we capped it off with a good sopapilla with honey of course. The atmosphere was just right for us--clean and neat. Our waiter Sammy was a lot of fun and gave us great service. I'll probably be sorry I wrote this because they'll probably get real busy. . . but they deserve to!“
“Whenever we can, we eat breakfast or lunch at Mango Bistro. We sometimes contrive to do something in Englewood (like go to the post office there instead of our local one) specifically so we can go to Mango afterwards. Their food is all fresh and well-prepared, plus they have a wide selection of fresh juice concoctions with or without alcohol.We love just about everything on the menu. Their quiche is great and is accompanied by a huge side salad. All of their wraps, tacos, and sandwiches come with blue corn chips and fresh fruit slices, when available. The staff are warm and welcoming. And we've found the other people who eat there to be friendly as well.Thank you, Mango Bistro, for doing such a great job so consistently!Vegetarian options: They have a separate vegetarian menu.Dietary restrictions: There are many options for those who have food sensitivities. If you tell your server what issues you have, they will either recommend something for you or they will ask one of the food prep people what options they can recommend.“
