Burger Restaurants near North Venice

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had an excellent experience thanks to Emily at McDonald’s! From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and a positive attitude that made me feel welcome. She was fast, efficient, and incredibly attentive—making sure my order was correct and even going the extra mile to double-check small details.

What stood out the most was her genuine kindness and professionalism. Even though the restaurant was busy, Emily handled everything with ease and kept her energy upbeat, which made the atmosphere so much more pleasant. Employees like her make a huge difference, and it’s clear she truly cares about providing great service.

Thank you, Emily—you turned a simple meal into a five-star experience!“

“I’m not sure why this place only has three stars. We live about 1 mile away and have been here five times each time it’s been a good experience even with cars in front of us. This Wendy’s is way better more efficient, and less staffed than the one on Jacaranda, yet they always seem to be accurate, fast, and friendly. Shout out to the young man working the drive-through on December 16. You could tell he was trying to do many things at once, but was very nice and gave us fresh tasty food in a very timely manner for how busy they were. I would definitely go to this one over the one on Jacaranda anytime in any day of the week. One time at that one I waited 25 minutes for a kids chicken nugget and a burger while I watched the whole drive-through line go through and then some. There were five workers back there. When I got my meal, it was old food.“

“Excellent new place to eat on the Island. Brussels Sprout Appetizer is a MUST. Each visit comes with a new item to try. Beef Burria(?) tacos were AMAZING!!“

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

“Great food and better at atmosphere!!! Burgers are best in town!“

“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.“

“My husband and I have eaten here twice so far- great food and even better service. Holly and Beth were personable, friendly, efficient- very impressed with their customer service! We asked for the manager and told her they represented the restaurant well. Great place to go eat, relax and was within walking distance from where we stayed.“

“What an amazing time we had at Docside. We had a party of 13 and from sitting down we enjoyed great food and fast service. Thank you,“

“Tasty food, great location, bonus for Calusa beef.“

“Difficult NOT to ENJOY yourself at this UPBEAT restaurant. Good Food, Great Service and Fantastic ENtertainment is twice as nice with TAKE TWO!!“

“My friend suggested we try out this restaurant today and it certainly was a good choice! We had the fish (cod) and chips, the fish was nice and flaky with a lovely beer batter. Fries were great and the homemade coleslaw very nice. Topped it off with "real" key lime pie. A lovely experience and we will be returning. Service was very good with Eric and Jim. Thank you!“

“Great place for a great burger 🍔!“

“Best beach fries in Florida“

“Fresh, fast and tasty! They don’t hassle you about wearing a mask either!“

“We. have gone to Patches religiously since it changed ownership. Everything they prepare is excellent, the staff is friendly & service is absolutely great. If you haven't been there you are missing out!!!“

“What a nice spot to have breakfast! The decor is unique in that everything on the walls is for sale, it is clean, and has plenty of space. The service is quick and friendly, but at the same time you don't feel rushed. The food is good and priced fairly, be warned that the pancakes are truly dinner plate sized! If you want the patio section, it is tables on the large sidewalk facing the parking lot.“

“We love this Applebees location!
Georgia was awesome too! Very nice and attentive, gave us great suggestions. We came around to 9pm so we got Half priced apps We got the spinach & artichoke dip, boneless wings with garlic Parmesan sauce and the chicken quesadilla, and the cinnamon bites for dessert (our favorite)“

“Came here for a quick late night bite after flying into SRQ as there weren’t many places open past 10pm. We found this spot on Google and it was great! Delicious food and chill atmosphere. They also had lotsa tvs for games which is great. Would recommend the burger and buffalo mac & cheese!!“

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

“First time in here. Total for one burger and a mountain of fries was 16$. Quality way higher then other fast food places for just about 3$ more and I don't like soda anyway. If chilis and applebees didn't have better deals I may stop by 5 guys more often for work lunch. Nice for once in a while, the burger toppings were the star of the show“

“Uncle Tim found this amazing place over 20 years ago. It is absolute tradition for our family to come visit every year we make it so Siesta Key!! Great food and fun enviroment!“

“Came here after a discouraging experience at a McDonalds. We ordered through the drive through and moved up quickly. The employee was very professional and even double checked our order before we left. He did not complain when we asked for extra condiments and napkins. Pleasant experience!“

“We were walking down the street on Siesta Key and the owner came out and handed us a menu. He talked highly of his food and he delivered! Some of the BEST food I’ve ever had! His brussel sprouts are out of this world good and the Wagu burger was delicious! Super nice dude, don’t skip out on this place!“

“Grew up here, great memory's with my mom and sister ❤️ Love this place.“

“Cleanest place in town for lunch or dinner. Great prices, great food and the best restaurant staff in America. #BestNorthAtlanticCodInTown.“

“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.“

“I have always liked this location, food has always been good. Last week seems sth has changed and the food was even better. We had the 2 for 25 deal and chose grilled oriental chicken salad which was definately delicious. Boneless wings as an appetizer and we got a really generous portion and the taste was just amazing. Definately will be back“

“I have been here a few times through the drive through and Eduardo is the best ! He's always so happy , caring ,talkative and after a long day at work such a friendly face to see . I don't usually eat fast food but when I decide to this is where I go .I hate seeing all the negative posts ,cold food ..blah blah .either go out to a restaurant or cook food at home for your children they're doing a great job!“

“Our lunch was excellent today. No problems at all. Staff was very helpful.“

“McDonald's isnt what it used to be when I was young, but this particular store has made me a fan again.
I will usually stop in everyother weekend through their drive through (my occasional guilty pleasure). A couple of weeks ago, as I was being handed my food through the pickup window, I'd asked the young man if he were the Manager (he was dressed for the part) and when he replied that he was, I gave him a very extended compliment on how impressed I've been, every time I came through. The food quality was much better than others in town. I specifically mentioned this to him, and explained that there was another location one mile from my house, and I will always go two miles out of my way to this one.

The difference is obvious. This Manager is not only good at his job, but he is obviously doing his job very well. From the final package (the food) back to entering the drive thru, to the crew members, with politness and even being attentive.
Sorry that I dont remember the mangers name, but if he is reading this, he'll remember this breif conversation we had 😉“

“Epic food“

“This McDonald’s was lacking in the seating department. Not as many tables as other locations. Also, you have to keep checking if your food is ready by going up to the front. We did not know that and waited a while until another customer told us to check ourselves. The food is familiar and yummy as always. Fish fillets are delicious :)“

“Rebecca is the best employee ever at the Venice Checkers! She is very personable and extremely nice and gets your order out quickly! I do have to say that most of everyone else is great however there are a few there that should not be there. Way to go Rebecca:)“
