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.“

“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‼️“

“Was their for the first time allways drive by on the way to the dog beach se it’s jam packed at lunch time glad I did finally stopped in with my dog Brady and my mom and dad not only are they dog friendly they provide your four legged friend doggie bacon the food is 5 star quality the best corn beef hash in Sarasota county I can tell it’s homemade the best grits and the raisin toast is good and they even have siracha sauce and Rihanna the server was awesome we will definitely come back and ask to be seated at one of Rihanna’s table I highly recommend the breakfast cottage and Rihanna as a server!!!“

“Simply... DELICIOUS!!!!!!!“

“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 food, great service, great place to eat!“

“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!“

“This evening a group of ladies and I had the pleasure of being waited on by a unique waitress, Isabella V. She was attentive, fun, friendly, patient, didn’t rush us…what a wonderful experience. It was our first time, it was delicious! She was on a double shift too! Thanks!“

“Excellent restaurant for breakfast & lunch. They do not serve dinner. Ann Marie is a wonderful server who is awesome at her job & is always smiling & makes wonderful recommendations. There is a large & varied menu & we have never had a bad meal in 10 years. Although the ownership changed, the food is better than ever. Nice size portions cooked to perfection. The mimosas vary from week to week; there are several draft beers or try a loaded Bloody Mary or an Aperol Spritz. I highly recommend Blu.

Parking: More than enough spaces.“

“We went for Burger special Night on Tuesday! Jess was our bartender, she was very attentive! I ordered the Fin & Tonic burger and my husband ordered the Southwest Burger, both came out looking amazing, the French fries were hot and nice and crispy, burgers were great, I was so full I couldn’t finish mine but they were both awesome!!“

“Absolutely Delicious I always order the chicken souvlaki sandwich with the Greek salad. Hubby almost gets the corn beef hash and eggs over medium with their home made potatoes and an English muffin. Hubby says you can't get fresh potatoes like this anywhere. My souvlaki sandwich and Greek salad is always outstanding I love the tzatziki sauce and pita bread so yummy as well as the Greek salad with fresh feta cheese. Service is fast and almost comes with a smiling face. Great prices, great food, great location!

Vegetarian options: Soups, Salads, breakfast, sandwiches, lunch, dinner, tacos“

“Real Deal ~ Thanks Tony & Family!“

“I go to Cracker Barrel more than any other sit down restaurant. I am comfortable there. I enjoy all of their meals. The staff are always friendly even when they can be very busy. I was in 2 nights ago just before the dinner rush. Everything was great, my server was quick and efficient and every time I check out one of the cashiers recognizes me. She gave me a good hug yesterday. I will continue to patronize them.“

“It took a few minutes for my husband and I to be waited on, but it was quite busy, which told us it must be worth the wait. It definitely was worth it! The Florentine Eggs Benedict was the best I've ever had. My husband had Corn Beef Hash and eggs, made in house not out of a can! It was truly delicious! Hope we make it back that way again soon. We will be back. The waitress was very attentive and kept your coffee cup filled. Bravo for that!!“

“My wife had a club sandwich and I had the rabbit curry. I've never had it before and it was tremendous. She loved the club sandwich as well and her iced coffee. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming, and the reggae music made it even better. We will for sure be back to try other things!“

“I cannot remember the name of this burger but let me tell you - if there were ever a magical burger that would revive you from a hard night of swerving thirsties, THIS IS IT!
I dont even know where to begin! This double patty cheeseburger is loaded with hashbrowns and bacon, throupled between a sweet pair of maple glazed waffles, and smothered in creamy white gravy. It will rock your world and leave a mess in your guts better than any man you could meet - DEAR LORD THIS THING HAD ME SO SATISFIED.
PRAISE MUNCHIES 420 FOR THIS ORGASMIC CREATION!
Also - awesome selection of stoner art ?“

“My favorite steakhouse. My favorite food is the Brussel sprouts. Cannot get any better. They are sweet and spicy. So delicious. Ribeye steak is the best I’ve had.

Update: the manager on tonight, was a really phenomenal woman. She came to our table. My steak was not exactly what I expected. She had it remade without question to perfection. She also was super generous to us, as it is our 21st wedding anniversary. Thank you longhorn. You have a great team here.“

“Wanted a beer & food after work, that’s what I got. Chill atmosphere, good music and attentive bartenders. Good place to unwind after a 12 hour shift. New to the area so this may be my new after work spot.“

“The Clever Cup is an authentic coffee shop that will surely satisfy the coffee lovers in the area.“

“Best cheese steaks in the area!!!!!!“

“Manager Walker took the epitome of customer service to the next level. Probably the nicest and most humble guy I have ever encountered. I hope all the experiences that I had are a reflection of mine. My name is Angela and Walt corrected the entire outcome. GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!“

“Wait time was very quick“

“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.“

“We love the Shamrock Cage. Cozy place to eat with excellent food and wonderful service. The Haddock melts in your month. Excellent Fish and Seafood. Price a reasonable. They take reservation which makes them tops with me.“

“Great food and great service. This restaurant has a vintage diner feel and even has old fashioned sodas.“

“Fabulous atmosphere with an amazing view and exceptional service!“

“What an unexpected delight! Delicious fish and loved that they had malt vinegar with it! A little disappointed they served steak fries instead of English chips but everything was excellent. Wish we had more nights to try some of the other English dishes. The Ole Smoky Old fashioned was also superb. And what a fun way to present with the burnt cedar. Better than our Wisconsin old fashioned. ?. We will definitely return next winter.“

“We follow Sam Domicolo & besides his great music, we always meet the nicest people there!“

“First time here. Place was clean. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was tremendous. Always a worry with a big broad menu but every item was superb. Seasoned well. No misses. Everything presented beautifully. Will be back in the coming days.“

“They cook on site, homemade sauces, smiling faces, reasonable prices, all in all I give them a five star rating“

“Great food & service! Had a nice band too. We will definitely be back!“

“They have a tiki bar and it's right on the water and you actually sit on the dock. Birds come right up to you. And their fish is fresh and everything on the menu is just a little bit different. Not the same recipes you would see in another restaurant. And the food is Sensational. I am a tough critic and I give this place at 10. Don't miss this place.
Have to add onto this review, food is still excellent, but this place closes at 8pm and we got there at 7:30 pm and they said they were closed. Make sure you call before you go. I hate it when a restaurant doesn't stay open till its posted hours. UGHHH.“
