“We had Jacob as our waiter and it was hands down the best service I've ever had !!!! His recommendations were 10/10 the service was 10/10. The nachos were enough to feed a family of 4 @$13.50. I would 100 percent recommend coming here and 100 percent recommend Jacob as a waiter !!!!“
“Coco’s Bistro is 3000% spectacular! This charmingly delightful Venezuelan restaurant serves up the best Pico de gallo in all of Florida! This is a “bucket list” stop for all road trip travelers. You receive the best Venezuelan food, The Queen Arepa is a fresh, warm, delicious guacamole and shredded chicken that is served with a Coco’s sauce. The Pico de Gallo Arepa is tremendously delicious with the sweetest tiny red tomatoes blended in the fresh homemade Pico de Gallo. The staff treat you like family and there is no wait for your food, it is all served fresh and authentic right to you. The dining atmosphere is clean, with a city vibe and small town charm wrapped up in Venezuelan spirit. Lastly, the real hidden gem is the sweet desserts they make. Try the Dulce de Leche, it has the wonderful flavor of caramello!!! Best Venezuelan food in all of Florida!!!“
“The food is delicious! If you are looking for drinks, burgers, or pizza highly recommend. The staff is amazing. Tell Dave, David and D’Ann sent you. And don’t forget you can take your furry friends if their vaccinations are up-to-date and the have been spade or neutered.“
“I would pick every recommendation possible for this restaurant. Excellent server and staff. Out of bounds drinks. Great food! Relaxing atmosphere!! What more can you ask for?? Really?? What more? Love this restaurant and will recommend to everyone know.“
“Tony and Ryan are awesome!! Super friendly and immaculate service from both guys. The place is super clean. And the chicken is absolutely delicious. HCK and base sauces both delicious. Chicken is perfectly seasoned and cooked; super juicy inside and I can’ tell it’s great quality. Some of the best tenders I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back!“
“The burgers here are fantastic. This is what a burger should taste like. It was big and hearty, the grilled onions were great, and the meat was grilled to perfection and seasoned just right. The fries were nice and crispy.We sat with a view of the street, and we were able to feel a nice breeze through the entrance while we enjoyed our burgers.The lady behind the register and the gentleman on the grill were very friendly and welcoming. We just wished that we had room in our stomach for some of the hot dogs, but maybe next time!“
“Large selection of draft beers, good selection of hamburgers etc. if you are a Ford fan, they have old model A (I think) chassis inside, Ford server uniforms, cloth napkins held with a hose clamp and washrooms using car parts for sinks and urinals, very cool !“
“Food was great, probably the best lobster roll I ever had. Service was friendly, but slow. It's in a strip mall, so atmosphere was ok. They did the best they could. Way too expensive to go back again. Definitely out of my price range.“
“Took a unplanned roadtrip up north, and decided to try out this upscale Mexican restaurant off of Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. It was an inspiring experience as I made friends at the bar and great conversation with Nancy, the bartender. The ambiance, the food, the wine, and good conversation made my day!“
“We enjoy the food and service at The Tamiami Tap - and mostly appreciate the local, neighborhood spirit. Mark and his team make everyone welcome, whether it is a beautiful evening or the day after the hurricane… oh, and the nachos, sliders, pork sandwich, small little salad… and… and.. are great!“
“Kevin runs a unique restaurant in that it has SO many options and all of them are good. Both Kevin and his wife May work very hard to get to know you, and they will by name after just a few trips! Don’t miss out on an opportunity to eat great food and support an honest business.“
“5 starNever seen a better functioning restaurant.they have wonderful/nice staff and the food 10/10 they do it perfect especially my favorite a cheeseburger with just the meat, cheese and bread (classic burger).the atmosphere is like being in an old fashion but modern restaurant and everyone is nice.Parking: Parking lot normally has a few cars but never been packedKid-friendliness: Not one single person is rude and I've been there 19Wheelchair accessibility: You can easily roll up to the door and open it no hill or anything“

“Diner style location with clean self serve counter. Best hot dog I’ve had in SRQ. Fries are straw style and crispy and warm when served. Can’t wait to go back and try something else and may even try a sundae- they looked great. Super casual diner - highly recommend!“
“? Gtwo Pizza: Where Pizza Dreams Come True! ?Let me tell you about this slice of heaven called Gtwo Pizza! Imagine a place where the cheese stretches like a yoga instructor, where the toppings are piled higher than your optimism on a Friday afternoon, and where every bite is like a little taste of victory in a doughy crust. Yep, that's Gtwo Pizza for you!But wait, there's more! The staff at Gtwo are the real MVPs. They're like pizza wizards, conjuring up deliciousness with a flick of their wrist (and maybe a sprinkle of magic cheese). Plus, they always greet you with a smile brighter than the sun on a summer day.So, if you're in the mood for a slice of pure joy, look no further than Gtwo Pizza. Just be warned: once you take that first bite, you may never want to leave. ?✨“
“My 2nd visit. Quick lunch, I heard the fish sandwich was delicious. It surely was sooo good! My 1st bite, I looked at the sandwich to say how can you taste this delicious. Now, for customer service, the young man was so kind . When I was leaving, he held the door and actually remembered my name and said, "Have a wonderful day! Wow, let me hire him, amazing!“
“We stop here often when traveling up/down I-75. The food is consistently good, and we often stop just for fries and/or ice cream. Those really are the highlights. We've been to quite a few Freddy's in multiple states, including the other one in this area, and this is the best performing one. It's a reliable stop for us when we're passing through. Staff are always great as well. If you're new to Freddy's, you should definitely utilize their app as we often get coupons for discounted ice cream, and the rewards points add up quicker than many restaraunt chain rewards programs.“
“Great Experience getting Dinner for 7. Service was quick and the food was good. Our server Kenny was fantastic. He really helped with our dinner choices and recommending the combos. Everything came to the table right for our party. I would recommend coming back to this Applebees!“
“Excellent place for great food, and if you are a sports fan, this is the destination. I ate the breaded wings which were large and perfectly cooked. Wife had the Jack's Blazing BBQ cheeseburger which was a monster of a burger.Add in the specials like Happy Hour, and you cannot miss.Kid-friendliness: Very good kids menu. We don't have kids, but it can easily be a great family stop“
“This is a go to for me. The food is always hot and delicious and made exactly how I asked. They keep a specials menu that gets updated regularly with food and speciality shakes. I like how the whole front wall is floor to ceiling windows and they always keep the music turned down. It’s never incredibly loud in there, which is surprisingly with how busy they can get.I recommend the blackened chicken sandwhich with the fries cooked a little longer OR The classic Philly with sweet potato fries!“
“Food was great. Service was ok. Two of the ladies were gossiping while our server was working. The manager I guess got upset she had to sweep, while our server was getting our order out. Overall it was decent, kinda noisy right next to the road. Pricey though.“
“Ok. So I took a couple stars off for atmosphere. Truth be told, I like the atmosphere but I'm trying to not impose my enjoyment of an old fashioned diner on anyone else. Thre is nothing fancy about this place. But the people are nice and I love their breakfast and their 3 for $5 sliders. I started eating there 30 years ago and have since moved to Southern California. But I dont ever visit Sarasota with a stop at Tasty Home Cooking. If you want fancy and you want to spend your money, go somewhere else. If you want a great value for your dollar, nice people and good food, Tasty Home Cooking is a nice place to find it. By the way, best Hash Browns anywhere.“
“Just came in for breakfast this morning was just in the area and I was craving breakfast food as soon as i seen the pics online. I asked the server what her favorite dishes were, and we decided to get the huevos rancheros which was amazing. They also offer freshly squeezed orange juice and the machine looked super cool. HANNAH B. or waitress was fantastic and very attentive. Coming from two servers this place was a 10/10 food service and atmosphere was great def recommend“
“All the staffers are aiming to please. Our food comes to the table hot and inviting. Thrilled they have a gluten free bun that works for me. The staff even brings your order out to your car.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bun is soft and tastes great. I'm Celiac and this is my go to restaurant.“
“My husband had the Ribeye Sandwich, and I had the burger. Both were so yummy! We've already been back for seconds. I'm glad that I saw it in passing and decided to stop. It seems hard to find good, quick, inexpensive options, but this place is all of the above. We will definitely be back!“
“Thanks for keeping this awesome place rocking Dolly. I love the food and the atmosphere ❤️ Elvis ate here. It’s cash only and they have an atm. Don’t miss out on Old Sarasota charm. If you miss this stop you’ll be sorry. 100 stars ⭐️“
“Great first-time experience! Super-friendly staff. Woman took my order (which I asked *her* to pick since it was my first time). Same woman delivered to my table. Amazing burger, good fries and unbelievable onion rings (fries and o rings come with "cry n fry"). I'll be going back!“
“One of the best, loaded, and genuine hot dogs I tasted in my life. If your hungry…… get the junkyard dog it will fill you to the brim. Overall awesome food stand guy has real food and comes from jersey. Very clean he used gloves the whole time cooking the food and keeps everything refrigerated and stored properly. Uses Sabretts hot dogs and grills them. Got the junkyard dog it came with onion, peppers, coleslaw, sauerkraut, and a sweet chili sauce on top to compliment it. 10/10 will be back very reasonably priced too for the food ??Got my food at the corner of Cortez and 26th St in the Pet supermarket parking lot“
“My husband and I enjoy sitting at the bar and ordering drinks and a meal. We had Amy the last time we were there and she was a great bartender. She was covering the bar and a bunch of tables, and constantly on the move and checking in on everyone. We had Sangrias, and the BBQ Ribs which are so yummy. Thank you, We'll be back.“
“Amber S was our waitress and from the moment we got to the table to the time walked away, she was outstanding! We went on New Year's Eve and it wasn't too busy. She was great with everything she did, didn't bother us, but came at the right times. Food was super as well came out fast and hot. Will recommend this store to others for sure!“
“This store may look a little run down on the outside but the ladies who were working here were so nice and friendly and the customer service was really good. Maybe not how I used to remember steak and shake but they’ve adapted to the times and the food is very very good.“
“Michael❤ our server Was absolutely very attentive to our every need. It was a pleasure to come here very so he’s very sociable and made us feel very comfortable being here and I will recommend someone else to come and ask for Michael❤. Best server ever Michele “
“I loved it. I’m from Chicagoland and we have a small hotdog and burger place practically in every town. Saw this place and stopped in. It was awesome! I ordered and chatted with the grill guy and owner and we had a great talk. He recommended several of his items so I got all of them. All were awesome!“
“Great tasting food to take home after a busy day shopping and never leave your car !!Parking: Park and eat at their umbrella tables or go through their drive throughKid-friendliness: They can eat outside with parents or never leave the car and take it home“
“Good but I only had a.small orderBut you need to.have budget healthy snacks and more gluten- free items.Dietary restrictions: Need more gluten-free itemsas I have Celiac disease as did another customer when I was there 2 months ago.Parking: No problems.“
“As a big fan of Five Guys, most of the time I'm very happy with the food quality and taste! This last experience was a little disappointing because I was shorted on the fries. And, those that know Five Guys, being shorted on fries is a very very very rare occurrence. The fries shortage won't keep me away but, hopefully, next time will be a better experience. ?“
“Tasty food and friendly service! Curuvian is a food truck with lovingly prepared Cuban / Peruvian : American food. They cater. They do parties. We had their sides and they were very tasty. Will he back for burgers, hot dogs, and their specialties!!!“
“I love this place. My husband and I discovered this place shortly after we moved to Florida, and it's already become a favorite place for us to grab a few tacos. This restaurant is in a food court in the Red Barn Flea Market and we make a point of eating there every week or two. The Red Barn is only open on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We have always gotten their tacos, four for ten bucks. We have always gotten steak and we get them with cilantro and onion (heavy on the cilantro). I'm pretty sure you can also get them with lettuce and cheese, and maybe tomato.........not real sure about that. The tacos (and just about everything else on the menu) comes with your choice of two salsas.........additional salsa is fifty cents each. My husband always gets the green.......I don't do salsa......I prefer to focus on the cilantro and onions. The steak is very well seasoned and they don't skimp. You definitely get your money's worth. I'm so glad we discovered this place.“
“Tina behind counter was phenomenal. It was busy and she was organized, caring, helpful with our order, and extremely sweet with our 4 year old. She smiled, very approachable, and gave recommendations. We drive 40 min for lunch, and enjoy the cleanliness, beautiful outdoor sitting.“
“Service... great!Food... okay. For me, many chain restaurants seem to carry a different quality level of food... how and where they purchase their food.Atmosphere was okay. 3 stars because it was FREEZING, and their choice in music did NOT fit the crowd. I almost left, I found it very annoying.“
“Me, my mom and daughter figured we would try this plav3 out for lunch on Sunday. The manager on duty was named Pat. The whole experience was great, the food was superb I wanted to do to go orders. It was clean, and they offered indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is at the kiosk where you place your order, and you can decide to have it brought to you or take it out. The food was fresh and brought out very fast and did zi mention delicious I will be returning as soon as I am out that way again.“
“What a great local place!! New favorite find 4.5 Stars only because I feel like they could add some seating and make it a little more user friendly. That's it - that's the bad. LOL! The rest is all good. Amazing in fact. So we came here with our daughter in town for spring break. The vibe is light, but real, fun and friendly and not at all quirky. The sun is setting and we are seated outside and the weather is perfect! It's a very relaxed feel and clearly everyone here is enjoying the place. There are families and kids playing in the outdoor game area. My wife got the strawberry lemonade cider and really likes it. I got a flight of beer as did my daughter. The Sunlight Cream Ale... boom! Amazing! Love the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel as well. Now for the scoop on the... FRIED PICKLES! Yes! Finally pickles done right! These were hot out of the drier and yet not all greasy. Super crispy and plenty of dill flavor to offset the dipping sauce. Wow. We love this place! You will too. But actually, don't tell anyone. We like the small, local vibe!“
“My husband and I haven't been here in many many years. Just seems like the meals have been kind of cut in half and certain things just didn't taste as good as it used to but we still enjoyed it because we have great service and it's just a great place to hang out in“
“It was busy and staff was a bit overwhelmed. Not their fault but they were handling a disabled customer, a very angry customer, and a surge of walk-ins and drive-ups all at the same time. We ate at a table outdoors and it was pleasant. My ice-cream came out before my sandwich. Angry customer was unnecessarily wildly out of control making it uncomfortable for everyone.“
“I stopped in for breakfast this morning and there were only 2 ladies working. They were taking orders inside and drive thru plus all the cooking. They were working so hard and did a great job. I believe ones name was Sally and I didn't get the other. These women need raises. My egg normous burrito was “
“L O V E this place! The food is so tasty! I had a single bacon cheeseburger. So good, and I like the way they break the bacon into pieces so that it all fits on top of the burger, therefore giving you a bit of bacon in every bite!Their french fries are FANTASTIC, and they give you plenty! And last... but very important... their milkshakes are AWESOME! Just like homemade.Oh..... let's top this great experience off with a great, friendly, and efficient staff! I couldn't ask for anything more... thank you, FIVE GUYS (and the gals too...LOL).“
“We always hesitate to stop and get fast food, because you never know if it will be hot! We have stopped at this BK, after Drs appointments in Bradenton. Both times the food was hot and prepared correctly. We went thru the drive thru both times and today used the app. We have been served both time by the same gentlemen at approx 2:45 (I’m the passenger and can’t see his name tag). He’s efficient and very friendly. We’ll return.“
“My cheeseburger and fries were hot! What a wonderful treat! The staff was very friendly and the place was spotless. The only issue I had was with my Diet Coke. It tasted great and had the perfect amount of fizz. I didn't finish it all so took it with me and drove home, drinking it along the way. Unfortunately there was a dead bug in the bottom that I didn't see until I drank it all. My only advice would be for them to periodically clean the machines (no self serve at this location). I would happily return to this location and highly recommend it!“
