50 Best American Restaurants near Nokomis

“Amazing experience!
A small, unique and hidden place directly on the beach. I randomly chose this place since I was traveling from Tampa and out to Fort Lauderdale. I wanted to absolutely eat on the beach, feet in the sand and enjoy a meal…

This place made it happen and was worth every mile detour and will be back for sure!“

“Diane was a stellar server and helped us with everything we needed. Prime Rib special is good. If you order the grouper with spinach, tomatoes and olives be ready for no spinach. Got two leafs!“

“My wife & I visited Joseph's for the first time this evening and it was a great way to kick off Super Bowl weekend! We each enjoyed Caesar salad, Chicken Parmesan entrees and red wine. The food, beverages and service by Cara were excellent! We also took home two cannolis for dessert and they were fabulous! We will return soon with friends and neighbors and look forward to trying many more items on their great menu! Please be sure to visit Joseph's when you are in the Venice & Nokomis area, and you will be glad that you did.“

“Simply... DELICIOUS!!!!!!!“

“Just had lunch here for the first time after wanting to try this place for 5 yrs. It didn’t disappoint. The ladies I was with had the lobster roll and loved it. I had the grouper tacos and they were sensational. What a fun place to go on a beautiful winter day in Florida‼️“

“best breakfast iv had in a while definitely recommended 100%“

“I just want to say I've been going there for 4 years and have had Jamie is my server she is amazing a mother with seven kids. And anybody who writes a bad review over a dollar and calls a waitress out about her fake eyelashes needs to change your name from Charlotte to Karen. Being so shallow in the rough times we all are going through and not understanding that prices are going up and things change and people have bad days needs to get a life if you're listening Charlotte shame on you you arrogant person I could have used a different word. Anybody who writes a review that hurts the feelings and the reputation of a business over something so minor should be ashamed of yourself. So go to Anita's have a good time and enjoy the amazing food and atmosphere not to mention the service“

“Great meal from start to finish! Our waitress, Marina, was very attentive and pleasant. Grilled Cesar salad was fresh and crisp and had just enough char for taste. Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!“

“Best Rubiens I have ever eaten. Perfectly made. You won't be dissapointed.“

“Another Great home cooked meal from my favorite restaurant in Florida. 5 Stars because everything was delicious, Again. All Fresh and home cooked meals. Wine and Beer only but 2ed bottle of wine is half-price. Only holds about 25-30 people, that's why you MUST have a reservation Be patient for your food because it is all made from scratch.“

“I’m going to start reviewing things more often. Culver’s is a great company. It’s rare anything ever happens other than what is expected. Fresh, great burgers. … … … Why is there a clear plastic cup with “tips” written on it with 10 stickers attaching it to the drive thru window? I woke up @4am today to work @6am. I’m not going to be home until 8pm where I will continue to work. I’m covered in mud and sweat. The AI drive thru systems have worked perfectly the few places I’ve seen them these year. I don’t care if it’s mean… fire who ever put the tip jar up. It’s wildly offensive. Makes Culver’s look bad. I worked nights at a taco bell / kfc in south Philly when I was their age. Take your tip jar somewhere else.“

“Every meal or ice cream treat is delicious. Staff is back at full and very friendly.“

“We hadn't been to a Longhorn Steakhouse for a long time and were pleasantly surprised with our experience at this one in Sarasota. It is busy but has a nice ambiance, excellent food, and excellent service. Ariel, our waitress, did a fine job. The steaks were cooked as ordered. Entrees came with salads and a side. The Filet and Lobster Tail with sides of Mac and Cheese, the Filet with salad and a sweet potato, and the Salmon and Shrimp with salad and a side of Brussel sprouts were all delicious. I would not hesitate to return.“

“My husband works in Gulf Gate, just a few storefronts down from Clever Cup, and we have been getting coffee from here since they have opened. I can honestly say that I have NEVER had a bad experience and the coffee and baked goods are always delicious! The baristas are amazing and although we probably shouldn't have favorites, I simply adore Veronika and Karissa. The two of them are always ready with a smile, a cheerful, 'Good Morning!' and even if I've had an icky start to my day, the two of them are always able to brighten my mood and I wind up walking out with delicious coffee and a smile. We love to shop local and this is one of the places we will ALWAYS support. Thanks, Clever Cup, we love you! 🥰“

“The food here is delicious!! 🙌🏽👌🏾😊 I had the Super Deluxe grilled cheese sandwich and the tomato soup….soooo yummy!“

“Been coming here for years. Usually sit at the bar, tended most nights by Kelly. She’s always smiling, knows her drinks & will take good care of you. Mondays from 5:30 to 8:30 you’ll hear the whiskey-voiced singer-pianist Joe Thayer, who plays jazz standards, soft & classic rock, and a few pop tunes. Food’s excellent…lots of choices & a few daily specials—which sometimes go fast. Can get busy during the season…best to reserve in advance. Great place for holidays if you don’t want to cook!“

“Delicious! We ordered from both the Thai and American menus, food was excellent and prepared with care. Restaurant is clean and clearly a labor love. While others complain about the prices, good food and attentive service doesn’t come free! We’ll be back.

Dietary restrictions: They can prepare Thai sauces gluten free.“
