50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Nokomis

“Fabulous! Love! What a treat! I am a vegetarian and I am gluten free, this was the best meal out I have had since moving to the area! Yum! Thank you! Professional and polite staff!“

“tiger sugar tea is so good!“

“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‼️“

“The minute you walk in The Breakfast Cottage, you are made to feel at home. The warm, Old-Florida feel, bright and cheery decor (those table tops!) and genuinely caring wait staff makes this our go-to Breakfast stop. The food is outstanding and plentiful, no skimping on ingredients here (just check out their omlettes!) On crazy busy mornings you may have to wait a little longer, but NOT the "25 minutes" as posted by another reviewer. The owner - and for that matter, every staff member - goes out of their way to make your meal as delightful as you expected. The Breakfast Cottage is a true gem, and we will continue to patronize it as long as the coffee keeps flowing. (Black Gold brand - awesome!)“

“Delicious food and great service, save room for desserts, highly recommended!“

“Authentic Buffalo Style pizza. Homemade crust and sauce is to die for. Definitely our go to place for pizza from now on. ❤️🍕“

“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!“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“Sharky’s (and Fins) was the perfect surprise after a long drive and a Venice Beach sunset. The hostess recommended Fins, and it couldn’t have been better. We started with chilled lobster claws and Oyster Rockefeller — both incredible. My friend, who thought she didn’t like oysters, called them the most delicious thing she’s ever eaten. We shared a petite filet cooked medium rare to perfection, paired with a glass of Pinot Noir that felt magical. The service was seamless, with both servers providing warmth, professionalism, and great energy. Combined with the amazing food, relaxed atmosphere, and a breathtaking view of the sunset over the beach, this experience completely exceeded expectations. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Absolutely the BEST ice cream around. As a family we drive an hour nearly every week to eat Jake's ice cream...YES, it's that good! Incredibly kind owner and staff as well, this place is a must visit if in the Sarasota area (and beyond!) Once you've tasted Jake's ice cream it's hard to ever eat anything else, he's raising the standards for homemade ice cream with every flavor - although we all have our favorites we've never tried one we didn't like!! (My personal favorite is Salty Turtle)“

“Visited for the first time. Delicious breakfast, friendly hostess, fabulous service (shout out to Jeanette). Not sure why I’ve never been there, but will definitely return! 💟“

“Tony’s Chicago Hot Dogs in Sarasota is the real deal. The hot dogs are deep-fried and cooked over hot coils, giving them a crisp bite and smoky flavor you don’t get anywhere else. Toppings are classic Chicago-style, fresh, and piled high. It’s a fun, casual spot that delivers exactly what you want from a hot dog stand.“

“We visit Coast To Coast Coffee often!!! We enjoy the all the choices and Gabrielle is amazing!!! Try it for yourself!!!❤️“

“Outside tables in back of gas station/deli window but damn this is best Cuban sandwich I have ever had and can’t stop eating it. It’s loaded with a mild dill pickle that adds to the texture of the cuban seasoned meat. This is crack for lovers of Cuban food and who would have thought after visiting the store many times and never noticing until local referred me.“

“What a delightful ice cream find right here in Osprey Florida. Service with a smile and a delicious product. We're introducing our friends to this treat and the Janey's beautiful smile as she crafts each rolled treat. Try this, you won't regret it ;)“

“Always good food, never disappointed.“

“I rarely leave reviews for places but this place is sooooo good! Definitely try it!“

“I visited this store with my girlfriend because she saw the “key lime pie” sign on 41. We turned around and got it and it was very good (one of the slices was frozen but when it thawed it was good). We also had the key lime truffles and they were WAAY too sweet. However, the key lime pie was so good my girlfriend went back and got some. The first time we went, the girl said she could cut it into 6 or 8 if we bought an entire pie. When my girlfriend requested it to be cut, she said that she wasn’t able to. We’re confused why that was. For a $30 pie, requesting to get it sliced doesn’t seem like a big ask. It was also frozen.“

“Best French pastries in town along with they're fabulous double espressos. Their dog friendly. Love this place. We have always been greeted with a smile from the owner along with his son“

“Had a wonderful lunch yesterday at Bodrum Restaurant along with 7 other ladies. Food was delicious and Tansel was a most charming server. Solicitous and humorous. Planning to attend their fashion show and luncheon in December.“

“We came to Clayton’s as a group of 20 to celebrate an engagement. Freddie was an amazing server, the food was great and the staff were excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“Really great poke! Would highly recommend. Will definitely be returning! I got a sushi burrito, and they gave me the extras on the side. I was worried for the price, that a small wouldn’t be much… but it was plenty of food! And so good!“

“We were at Spearfish last night and would HIGHLY recommend it! We showed up around 7:00 pm with a party of 8. We were seated inside in under 20 minutes. Our server “A” was amazing and an absolute blast! The food was fabulous! The clam chowder was hot and delicious. The calamari was one of the best we have had and we would definitely recommend getting the hogfish fish and chips….soooo good! The icing on the cake was the family feel from the staff who have all worked there for 3+ years. We are here for a week and might have to go back again! It was that good!“

“We’ve been getting our Cuban coffee, empanadas and Cuban sandwiches. Do not miss an opportunity to meet this delightful family! Charleen treats you as though you are a guest in her kitchen. A unique and incredible experience. Great sandwiches to grab at Osprey Marina if you are going boating in your own vessel or hire a charter! No hurricane damage…she’s open for business!“

“Their food is really good! We eat there every week. The one exception is their Skillets Potatoes - they're usually undercooked, then topped with green onions and broiled until the green onions are burned. Every Single Time. Come on, Corporate, Pay Attention!“

“Great tasting coffee based ice cream, yummy 🍦“

“Fine French Fusion dining at it's best. Chef Longet is a master at preparing mouth watering cuisine. Romantic/Intimate atmosphere.“

“Absolutely outstanding dinning experience the Gyro platter was the best flavor structured food in a long time. Great work from Paul and his team. Great to watch them hustle.“

“Shelby was our server and did a great job. Also the breakfast menu and many options and our food was very good!!“

“Quality of food. Life long member of the owners from Adrian Michigan. I don’t understand when I read comments as for “not authentic Mexican ingredients”. Does the sign not say “Tex-Mex”? In Adrian Michigan we have a large migrant population that prefers other Mexican restaurants over the grasshopper. Huge reason is that the taste buds of visiting Mexicans are used to hot, very hot. As I live here in Mexico I cannot sample any hot sauce because it’s too hot. So I bring my own hot sauce with me when I eat out. I don’t consider the menu as Tex Mex. The family founders brought recipes from Mexico but again, had to tone down the spicy seasoning for the northerners. HOWEVER, if you ask for the extra hot seasoning, they will make you a dishes that will set your mouth on fire upon request. I can’t explain the next topic, but that no one has complained but their menu prices that seem to never increase. As for the cheese dipping sauce? I haven’t been to the Sarasota location. But it’s a wise-tail in Adrian that the cook staff has to sign NDA’s just to know the recipe. Everyone has tried to replicate it but no one has ever gotten it correct. Linda/co-owner has been a lifelong full-time employee that worked every day beside her now ex husband that runs and operates the original Adrian Michigan establishment where his parents created the restaurant. She only hires the best staff and the staff are lifelong dedicated employees. In Adrian, no one visits for the decorations or environment because it’s nothing close to impressive, they visit for the food and service and the staff that brings you refills before knowing that you need one.“

“A good low cal treat! Delicious too!!“

“Lisa was the absolute best! I’ve been in the US for a year and this was the first experience where i gonna remember the server for life!! She was so sweet and client oriented! U will be taken care of with her, she made sure we got exactly what we wanted🙏🏻“

“Great food, excellent service, beautiful place to meet with friends for lunch“

“the grilled fish sandwich with regular tartar sauce, fries and mushy peas. everything was wonderful“

“Fantastic Gulf of America views, great food, super service, great array of frozen drinks! Nice way to eat and spend a leisurely afternoon!!“

“My wife and I picked up our cheesecake last night. It was the best we’ve ever had. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly - plus it’s open late! Five stars.“

“Great wine. Beautiful people. good service and good entertainment.“

“Being from Boston it’s hard to find good chowder and seafood. This restaurant has fish chowder that is awesome. My mom got the fish (haddock) and chips, I had the scallops both were wonderful. Our server Tiffany was so friendly, attentive and fast.“

“Wait time was very quick“

“Another wonderful visit to the Upper Crust Bakery, it’s a must when in Venice. The scones are the best we have had since moving to the USA from England.“

“Great weekly specials, terrific service , and friendly atmosphere. Food is great and always. Wide variety. It has become the favorite breakfast spot ! Highly recommend .“

“I came in on Tuesday for an early lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the cute atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was amazing and tasted as good as it looked. I love that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The girls that worked there helped me pick a great açaí bowl and checked in to see if I was enjoying it. The place was really clean and felt very relaxing.“

“My first visit to Obee’s.
I asked google to help me find a place to get a salad. So I followed directions to Obee’s 🙂 I decided on a seafood salad wrap. It was very good. The service was quick and I was lucky to get there when I did. A popular busy lunch place in Venice. I walked in and within 5 minutes the line was to the door.“

“Just one of those places that tugs on the past“

“I have spent 36 of my 49 years in FL. I personally think that Florida is way better than every other state, except for a few "up north foods". Bagels don't ever measure up... UNTIL SATURDAY. We had a birthday brunch, and we bought bagels from Cafe Bagel !Absolutely delicious. Chewy, like up north, but also with that nice "crisp" bite. I'm so excited about finding this place, especially since the prices are great too. I HIGHLY recommend!“

“Awesome place for Brunch !! Great food … wonderful staff !!!! A favorite place !!!!!“

“Always a great experience when visiting Parlor. Wonderful staff, clean environment and very delicious.“
