“tiger sugar tea is so good!“

“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!“

“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%“

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

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

“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)“

“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.“

“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 ;)“

“There are several good coffee places in Sarasota, but this one is the best. The friendly warm couple who run this shop treat you like family, and offer a non-sugar, non-artificial vanilla ice coffee that competitors do not offer.“

“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! 💟“

“Great tasting coffee based ice cream, yummy 🍦“

“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.“

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

“Fantastically delicious! This place knows how to test your tastebuds♥️“

“Just had lunch at Spearfish Grille and had a great experience with Adriana as our server. She is very attentive and has a great personality which makes her very personable with customer’s. Thank you for the excellent food and experience!“

“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!“

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

“Hands down, the best key lime pie in the state! My SWFL family has been going to the Keys at least once a year for the past 40 years & we've tried countless different key lime pies from Sarasota to Key West in search of the best one. There are some great pies in the Keys, but still none of them top Flo's in Sarasota. Her pies are just next level! We love it so much that we buy a key lime pie from Flo's and take it to the keys every year ? The whole family looks forward to it. Every layer of this pie is so good on its own - the key limey whipped cream, the perfectly sweet/tart filling, & the homemade graham cracker crust - but all together, it's to die for. I would buy barrels of each individual layer if I could, and just die happy in a key lime coma. It really is the best pie in the state, plus there are a ton of other pies & truffles & desserts she offers. I highly recommend checking out Flo's!“

“Ashly or i think that was her name was a great server“

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

“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“

“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.“

“We were introduced to Obee's while visiting family that lives in Venice, and now we make it a point to eat there whenever we're visiting. This time we ate there twice during a week. Their bread, meats and condiments and salads are fresh and their subs taste like the best New England subs!“

“Ophelia’s is our favorite for a special dinner. Food is excellent, view is beautiful and the service is exceptional. Have never been disappointed. Menu changes daily and the options are top notch. Highly recommend!“

“Had lunch there on 2/18/25. Had the lasagna, presentation was great with fresh basil on top, plenty of meat and sauce. served the way my Nonni would serve it in a big bowl. Bread was fresh and had a nice texture with some crunch. Service was great with such a large party inside.“

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

“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!“

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