“Really enjoyed our visit here. Everyone loved the food! The atmosphere is really lively and fun, it's right on the water and has a sandy beach area outside the bar where you can hang out and relax. Only reason I gave it 4 stars for atmosphere is its more of a fun, lively, hootin' and hollerin' type atmosphere where there's loud music and people getting a little crazy. Which is great if that's what you are looking for. We were looking for more of a low key chill atmosphere. But we'll be back again to have fun and cut loose.“
“I called for take out. Pizza was promptly ready.Texted me to let me know. Pizza ‘s we're very good. The garlic rolls amazing too! The staff were very friendly and professional. They are under new management ! I was impressed ! We will be back!“
“Breakfast outdoors under the Live Oak was excellent. I had the count of money Cristo with potatoes, and my friend got an omelette. Our food was excellent— even the toast was great, hot and buttered, and perfectly toasted— and I felt the menu was a good mix of traditional breakfast food with a few interesting flourishes.“
“We’ve been coming to this beach for now 7 years ❤️ the amount of amazing sunsets they we watch and all beautiful souvenirs that we created at this place are magical! This beach is a must! People always seem to be nice and happy! The beach is also clean and the views breathtaking! We highly suggest ☺️☀️“
“They serve a great breakfast with a lot of choices!! Whether you want a lean breakfast or a hearty one, they have both. Poached eggs were spot on & real fresh fruit served ! Thick sliced bacon cooked crisp/on your plate & non-greasy potatoes or grits @Enjoy !!“
“Our favorite spot! We come for burger night every Wednesday. They always have live music, a great wait staff, and the food is really good (just avoid the salty Mexican food). Highly recommend you DON'T check it out, because they are already too popular! Lol.“
“The food was delicious and our server was very nice. The lady who sat us was very rude. We asked to sit by the window to be near the sun and she threw our stuff down and proceeded to go in the back and talk about us to where everyone could hear. “I’ll sit you whenever i want, its not your choice”.“
“Pancakes are HUGE! Grits are nice and creamy. $3. for a good-sized cup. Used to go to Skillets but they reduced the amount to EXACTLY 6 oz (said the manager when I asked). 6 oz for $5,95. I sent them back and Watched her throw them away. I told my waitress "Tomorrow I will order the LARGE SIZE. For more money. And send them back. And watch them throw them away. LOL (not really, but my waitress laughed and said "Do it!" Nope. Not going back. Max's Table for me!“
“They have a 5 star team and work together flawlessly. Not one employee passed by our table without stopping if it looked like something needed cleared. Fred (our waiter) was quirky, kind, and delightful! Best waiter we had all week! The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. 3rd round of mussels this week at other restaurants and Clayton’s was by far the BEST. The Clayton salad is light and the dressing is tasty. The butter they serve with the bread is different than any I’ve tasted and I could eat it with a spoon. The crab cakes were excellent and seared to perfection. The scallops melt in your mouth. We WILL be back.“
“I came here with the intention of ordering a burger. They had gotten good reviews and I wanted to try them out.Our server greeted us pleasantly and then made up a table of my wife's choosing. As we were being seated, our server let us know about the grouper specials. My wife and I both decided to have the grouper Reuben sandwich with tater tots. The sandwiches were delicious and I recommend them if you are in the area.When it was time to go, my wife asked for something other than styrofoam for the doggie bag and once again the server was very accommodating. Overall a very good experience.“
“It is always our first choice for breakfast or lunch! The General Manager, Patricia, is so very kind, attentive, and friendly! She makes us feel welcome and appreciated on each visit! This restaurant is always clean, the food is excellent, and the bathrooms are spotless!!“
“Chef Tony is bringing a remarkable Carribean menu to Venice! We shared the Classic Cuban, and Chicken Curry with sweet plantains as the garnish. The Cuban did not disappoint, from the Roasted Pulled Pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles ,mustard on the perfect Cuban Roll. Every bite delightful.The Chicken Curry over rice, combined with the sweet plantains brought an array of boastful flavors, heat, and a most welcome feeling of thankfulness to the Chef.“
“Good quality and tasty food and drinks, fast and friendly service, great competitive cheap prices. Really best fish&chips in town, salmon bowl is creative and awesome, taco bowl good portions and unique, tempura shrimp a must have, get the meatloaf if hungry, Irish stew will fill you up, burgers and home made mashed potatoes and mushrooms sauce, don't forget the jumbo all natural wings, onion rings, shrimp scampi, ..“
“This place has quickly become one of my favorites. The food is always good, I'm a creature of habit and always get the Eggs Benedict. Hearty portions and a coffee mug that's always full. The staff here is always welcoming and kind. Would definitely recommend stopping in for breakfast!“
“Usually frequent the other location in town because I had a few bad experiences here, but I was pleasantly surprised. Our server was the best! She was funny, accommodating, and efficient. Made a point to tell the manager he's lucky to have her. Food was good, but it's so difficult to get a steak cooked to taste in terms of rare versus well-done. Came close. Wish they had outdoor seating like the other location, but now willing to patronize either.“
“Thai food at a sports bar? Yes, in deedy. The best Thai food with 4 levels of hear. Chef's hot makes the food not as enjoyable. Mexican hot is my sweet spot, but my wife prefers medium heat. They only serve beer and wine, but that is all you will want eating the Thai food. The place has that great sports bar vibe with several tvs for the various games available that day.“
“My family were on the search for some coffee and came across this place. I ordered an iced peppermint mocha. DELICIOUS! I was very excited to see that the coffee is organic aswell. Service was amazing, lady was so sweet! I'll definitely be back!“
“We had a recent small issue with a delivery order, but something that changed their amazing food. After one call I reached Travis who was amazing, friendly, and responsive to the problem. That man needs a raise. We will keep coming back because of his level of service.“
“Cute, busy place. We had to wait some time for a table. Raspberry scones and cappuccinos were great. However, my ham and cheese quiche was made with an orange American (?) cheese. Was disappointed and didn't eat. Wait person never asked if anything was wrong. I'd try again but order something else.“
“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!“
“Highly recommend this place. Awesome menu full of every type of hot dog. They even have beyond sausage dogs that are so good.Vegetarian options: They have beyond sauasage and veggie dogs. It’s really amazing place for a vegetarians who miss hot dogs.“
“Was visiting friends who took me to Shaner’s because I I love thin crust pizza like they do. It was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had … I couldn’t stop eating it and wish we had one in my neighborhood back home!! The card tricks were great too! I will be back next time I’m in town!!“
“This place seemed popular and with a good atmosphere.The lobster melt is not something we’d recommend here. For a $28 sandwich, do not get this item. Go with the lobster roll or something else.The almond chicken salad was ok, decent for something different. I’d stick with a grilled or backend chicken over this item.The broccoli soup was top notch and worth the try.Our waitress, Tiffany was good and we liked her.“
“Well today’s second visit is a reminder that I needed to write a review. My second time having Ann Marie as our server and its still 5+ star service she delivers. She is so friendly and attentive.The first tine I visited was because of my Get Upside APP offered 6% off. I didnt tell my bf thats where we were going. Well when we pulled up , He said “ oh this place? me and the neighbors came after a race and service stunk” Well our visit together with our grand daughter changed that . Ann Marie was our server, She was excellent and what we thought were going to be pricey loaded Bloody Marys were delicious and affordable. We enjoyed our breakfast very much.Todays visit was no exception, I was so happy to get Ann Marie again. I got the usual sausage n gravy biscuits n a side of fruit and my daughter got the whiskey bacon benedict and their special hash browns . She loved her breakfast and the sweet tea was great and Ann Marie kept them refilled.Will definitely be back and Im signed up for their rewards program .“
“I have found a new favorite ! I stopped in for breakfast and I kept thinking I have to write something on this place! My food was served fresh & was delightful with every bite. My waitress was kind and bubbly & she didn't mind sharing her favorite choices as I was undecided what to get ! Five stars all the way across the board, cleanliness, the food, the prices , the cook, my wait time and my waitress mentioned her name was ashley. I hope to catch her everytime! I hope the staff and restaurant in general gets the recognition they deserve.Also- she has the cutest tattoos all over !“
“My friend whose been here before suggested that we go for our girl’s night out. I’m hlad we did. What a fun atmosphere and the owner is wonderful and conversational.The food choices are good ol back in the day comfort faborites. Turkey Tetrazinni, Shepherds pie, Chicken corfon blue, stuffed sweet peppers .Alot of the dishes if not all are made to order. I had the chicken enchiladas and my friend had the stuffed peppers. Both excellent plates. They had 3 featured wines that evening. The owner suggested the most affordable one( could have been the opposite) It was excellent and they had a special, second bottle 1/2 off if we wanted.A great visit, I really enjoyed the meal, atmosphere and my company. We were able to stay past closing and chat while they were cleaning. This is a very popular restaurant. Not sure if its wise to go without a reservation, They open at 4:30 and last seating is 8 pm .“
“There's certain restaurants that you absolutely treasure, this is one of them. You almost have to know that this place exists and when you do...you'll be there 6 days a week ordering a sub for lunch. Ive tried so many things on the menu and i am stuck deciding which one is the best. Its too hard!! The owner is the chef and is super passionate about making sure you have a great tasty and delightful sandwich. If i could give more than 5 stars i would. Some of my favorites are steak and cheese, pepper and egg, and tuna. I also would like to comment about how nice the staff is. They all are such nice people and go out of their way to make sure your order is complete and everything from the simple things like napkins are in your to go bag! Thank you so much for awesome lunches!! Andd keep up the good work!!“

“Small, cozy bar off S Tamiami Trail. We went on a Friday night, and there was a 30-minute wait for regular seating. The bar had open seats so we decided to just order there. I got the stuffed jalapenos, and they came out hot and fresh. Crispy bacon exterior, with a cheesy mozzarella interior. For my main course, I went for the Hawaiian burger, which did not disappoint. It was cooked perfectly to temp with two grilled pineapple wheels, LTO, and bbq sauce on the side. Two thumbs up. My wife got the cheese steak and said it was good but not the best. Both of our main dishes were served with crispy steak fries and a pickle spear. I normally dont like thick cut steak fries because they aren't normally cooked with an exterior crisp, but these were. Service was a bit slow but only because of how busy it was. Service bar drink tickets were printed nonstop, and the bartender did a great job managing wait staff drinks while still tending to her bar guests. Overall, good food and service.“
“Absolutely loved the Reuben sandwich. Probably the best one I've ever had. My husband had ribeye, and though it was seasoned/prepared a little different than he is accustomed to, he really enjoyed it. Definitely a place I want to come back to.“
“We stopped in here for the first time on a weekday for lunch because I had read positive reviews for this place. Seated immediately and were greeted by our server, Kennedy. We were seated in an area where we could not see or really hear the bar area due to the partitions separating us from the bar which was awesome. Comfy booths and plenty of screens to watch. Our server Kennedy was very accommodating when we ordered our food and drinks which arrived relatively quickly. My wife got a BLT and mentioned there was a lot of bacon in it. I got a Libbee's Burger medium well done and it was noticeably dry and maybe even overcooked although their special sauce and mayo helped with that. I know I ordered medium well but I was disappointed the burger wasn't juicier. It can be done. Fries were good. The Margarita my wife ordered didn't seem to have much alcohol in it, came in a whiskey glass and was horribly sweet. Jai Lai beer was cold. Our server Kennedy was the star of the show even if she did have trouble getting our check to us in a timely fashion because of some sort of issue at the bar. Overall not a bad experience but I think it can be done better.“
“The service was great. Yes, I said the service was great! The biscuits and gravy had a lot of sausage and came out on hot plates. the chicken salad croissant was big! The waiter was kind and attentive. We will be back when we come back from Michigan.“
“The fish and chips were fabulous. The cod is so tender and moist. Had to be fresh not frozen. My wife got soup and vegetable. Everything was great. The waitress was very friendly and clearly on top of things. We’ve already gone back a second time, and will undoubtedly return again on another Friday to get the all you can eat fish and chips.“
“Tasty and delicious food options . Fin & Tonic is a great restaurant for any even and occcasion 100% . I order the scallops and was amazing . Drinks and cocktails are a must . The ambient and the service is great , find parking so easy .“

“Seriously one of the best hot dog stands in existence. Quick and friendly service combined with every hot dog favorite you can think of for a very fair price.Kid-friendliness: This place just has that old time, wholesome feeling that invites kids and families to enjoy themselves.“
“We had a hit and miss experience at the Shamrock Cafe. Our service was great and we enjoyed our time.With our food, we had both good and bad. The meatloaf was average at best. The scallops and shrimp had a distinct taste that we were not fond of. We can see others lining it though. The prime rib was very good as were the salads and mashed potatoes.Overall, we spent about $120 for 4 adults and a child. With a bunch of other places to try, we probably won’t be back in a while but it is worth a try if you are in the area especially because the service was very good.“
“Large fun bar with pub food and sit down dining. We ate at the bar, which is covered but partially outdoors. My wife had the loaded hot dog which is quite a meal. My Mahi sandwich was very good.All in all this is better than average pub food with good service and a friendly atmosphere.Downside on the ambiance is that you're either looking at a parking lot or a crowded boat yard. No water views.“
“Fantastic service, superb food, wonderful atmosphere. Live music really set a fun vibe for the whole restaurant. Mae, the manager, made sure our experience was top notch! She was extremely professional, kind and helpful - I thoroughly enjoyed it with my family and highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free optionsParking: Plenty of parking, all close to entrance“
“Awesome place to eat! I stopped in to have some breakfast and was extremely impressed with the vibe of this place and the flavors of the two items I tried (French toast and biscuits and gravy). Everything was cooked with love. Rusty, my server was super welcoming and delightful. This is the kind of place you can't miss out on trying.“
“I’ve been in this parking lot a million times (either staying at the hotel next door, or charging the Tesla) and have never eaten here but always wanted to. Today we stopped on our way home and it was excellent!! Great food, great service! Something for everyone on the menu, and great kids menu too! Affordable pricing, great family dinner place. Salads are excellent!!! We’ll be back!“
“Incredible wine selection, amazing friendly service, cozy atmos- don’t think you’d need more for a “wine down” day to be honest.The owner Carmel is such a sweetheart and warm & welcoming from get go !She knows her wine and her collection speaks for itself.Try the charcuterie board to go with your favorite pick or her pick for you.Either way it will all work out good here in Venice, FL.Vegetarian options: She could do more veggies & fruit in her board. Feel free to ask.“
“We recently had lunch at this restaurant. Our meals were good despite the waitress ordering one incorrect meal. This atmosphere was pleasant with a pub type atmosphere . They met our expectations all around with food quality and prices. Sidewalk tables add to the inside dining, provide a large seating area.“
“A super clean and surprisingly urban hip restaurant for the location. We started with a large order of rodeo fries. Then, we got various sausages which were all delicious. Friendly staff helped us with food selection as this was our first visit to Rocketdog. There are more items on the menu I want to try, so I will be back.“
“I’ve been coming here for years at least once a week however my favorite beer the walking tree ipa is no longer available and is incredibly disappointing. Couldn’t bring myself to drop stars because of this but idk if I can continue to come as often. It was a staple to my visits because it’s the only place I could get it. Love the staff and bar tenders. ?“
“Just passing through Venice and spotted the sign.Thought we would give it a try.So glad we did.Kristin and Katie were terrificBoth waited on us.I had the jalapeño burger. It was perfect.Hubby had the Alpine .It had mushrooms and Swiss. He loved it.Then both Kristin and Katie took the time to talk to us and tell us where the best beaches are to find sharks teeth.Both were so fun and friendly and made our 1st visit even better.Definitely highly recommend this place for a terrific burger and excellent service.“
“First-time diners. My wife had the french dip, two of us had fish and chips, and one had the chicken tenders and chips. Everyone was pleased with their food. Our server did a good job. My only suggestion is to not have tables so close together. When people were seated next to us, there was no separation.“
“First timers and was impressed with the quality/value this restaurant offered. Simple menu but something for everyone. Food was flavorful & fresh and service was great (Julio was attentive)!Parking: They have their own parking lot, not typical of most other restaurants in downtown Venice.Kid-friendliness: Nice kids menu, chicken fingers were actually chicken cutlets cut in strips. Excellent“
“Great little restaurant in Downtown Venice! I stopped in on a nice day to have a drink and read my book. I sat in the bar and they had the doors open, which let in a nice breeze. The staff was friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. It seems like they’ve got some great food options too.“
“We normally have a very good experience coming to the establishment but I had a very disappointing experience attempting to order carry out. I called in the first time and was placed on hold for two and a half minutes before I hung up and decided to call back and was immediately placed back on hold again for an additional 5 minutes before my wife called in and was able to immediately place an order over the phone while I was still on hold. We would have placed an order online but the selection of customizing our order was not available.“
“Patches , brings joy to my morning with every visit , the young manager works hard and does a great job keeping everything together and running well , very impressive , i will definetly be back soon. ❤️ They definetly aint clowning around ?Parking: I love the parking because it is easy to come in and get out and i can have car meets“
“My wife and I and some friends had a wonderful late lunch/early dinner at Pop’s yesterday afternoon. The key to it all I must say was the service. Our waitress Crystal was extremely attentive. She made some good food and drink suggestions when asked and we loved all of it. I had the blacked shrimp tacos and we had several frozen and rocks drinks, all fantastic! Thank you Crystal for the wonderful service and suggestions… we’ll be back to see you soon!“
