I can't wait to go back and take my family!“

“Just ate here for the first time I got the duo smash burger and OMG sooooo good! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Highly highly recommend this spot! Service was quick, staff was friendly! overall amazing!“

“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.“

“The best ice cream in Florida! Generous portions, friendly staff and a wonderful location. You can sit inside or outside, both are fun. Can't wait to go back, yummy!!!“

“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.“

“Absolutely adored this lunch spot today! Great waiter, atmosphere, drinks and tasty food!“

“We had lunch today at Oak & Stone in North Port. Wellen Park! Great food service and pleasant atmosphere. 5 ⭐️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best homemade ranch!!!!!!“

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

“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.“

“Fresh fish prepared well awesome sides to choose from. Great small joint vibe with Live Music and an awesome back yard. Get there early the line gets deep fast. 10 out of 10!!“

“We had dinner at Siegfried's Restaurant on Feb. 26th - our third meal there and we always leave with big smiles on our faces. The schnitzel and sauerbraten are both excellent, as are the sides and desserts. The staff is warm and engaging and we were so happy to meet and speak with the chef/owner. The restaurant is in one of the cozy-looking cottages on Fruitville Rd and is the perfect setting for this authentic German restaurant. Be sure you make a reservation and be prepared to enjoy a fantastic German meal!“

“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.“

“The Sarasota Farmers Market is one of the best parts of downtown on Saturday mornings. It’s not just about fresh produce — though the fruits, veggies, and locally grown herbs are always excellent — it’s also the atmosphere. You’ll find artisan breads, pastries, fresh seafood, local honey, handcrafted soaps, Olive Oil from Italy, jewelry, and unique gifts. The vendors are friendly and take pride in their work, and there’s a real sense of community as you walk through the market. Street musicians add a lively touch, and there are plenty of food stands for a coffee or breakfast while you browse. It’s a great place for families, locals, and visitors alike, and it captures Sarasota’s mix of creativity, culture, and coastal living. Highly recommend spending a Saturday morning here — you’ll leave with full bags and good vibes.“

“First time today! Very good especially since im picky about my coffee.. look forward to my next visit ❤️“

“Absolutely love this place. My wife first got me into 99 Bottles through one of their Sunday community walks — a couple miles with a great group, followed by waters, mimosas, and New York bagels back at the bar. The whole thing is super well-organized and just has a great vibe. Bart (one of the owners, I think) is the man — welcoming, thoughtful, and clearly cares about building a real community around this place. The food’s great, the menu’s creative, and the service is always on point. We’ve met some awesome like-minded people through their events and it’s become one of our favorite spots in Sarasota. Just a genuinely good place run by genuinely good people.“

“First timers but def won’t be the last! The crabcakes, lobster bisque, tuna tacos, & beef short rib were the tastiest & freshest food we had while here. Wished we would have tried it sooner in our trip cuz I’m going to bed thinking of the food!! We sat out back where a guy was playing guitar & it was just a whole vibe. We love love love good food!! Service (Monica, I hope) was exceptional. This will be one of our faves for sure. Portions were perfect. Did I say how delectable the tuna was? Mmmm….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wow! What an impressive evening at every level. Do not hesitate and book this restaurant for your next food adventure. The moment you walk into this establishment, you know the vibe is cool and these people know their food & spirits. The food is incredible and different than the typical Sarasota restaurant that has the same boring food offerings. I was impressed with the Iberico pork dish and unusually amazingly flavored vegetables and spices that accented the smoky, tender pork. The yuca side dish was similar to a potato but more flavorful and crispier mixed with an addition of corn, pickled cabbage and other vegetables. I haven't found a dish that impressed me more in recent years. The crispy salmon was a "oh wow" moment for my friend, who hails from the Pacific Northwest as do I, where Washingtonians know a thing or two about salmon. This restaurant provides your palate something different and if you're a veteran of dining out constantly, this is a welcomed change from the ordinary. The New York steak included an amazing demi glaze exploding with flavor and had the perfect consistency which can be a challenge to make right but State Street Eatinghouse + Cocktails got it right. I highly recommend the fried Brussell sprouts appetizer as they were a flavor explosion in our mouths. The bacon amplified the sprouts with the accompaniment of the balsamic glaze. My friend's husband and mine, who usually don't like this vegetable, were pleasantly surprised and ate more than the obligatory "try one" bite. State Street Eating House + Cocktails is owned by the same people that introduced us to tapas restaurant "Beso", which I recently tried, and awarded it my "Best Restaurant in Sarasota" award. This restaurant belongs in the "Restaurant Hall of Fame" of Sarasota or even US restaurants. I love it! My waiter, Dana, was super attentive and impressive. His vast knowledge of the drink and food menu was spot-on and his candor and expertise added to the whole evening's experience. What an amazing restaurant! I can't wait to book my next reservation and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. Cheers! Dietary restrictions: I appreciate they were mindful of my cow's milk allergy which makes eating out difficult since most dishes have butter and/or cheese. Thank you for helping me feel confident about eating here.“

“Great tasting coffee based ice cream, yummy 🍦“

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

“We had an amazing dining experience at Cuba 1958 in Sarasota! There were four of us, and we enjoyed every single dish we ordered — from the appetizers to the main courses, everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was both beautiful and welcoming. This place is a gem! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and a great vibe. A must-visit!“

“Muy buenooooo Excelente atención“

“The seafood sampler was delicious- the scallops melt in your mouth like butter. The ocean scampi was good, but the garlic was a bit overpowering. Pleasant staff and comfortable outdoor seating… it was nice for a higher end meal.“

“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.“

“🇩🇪 Wundervoller Besuch – absolut empfehlenswert! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🇭🇺 Wir waren gestern in diesem liebevoll geführten Laden und sind rundum begeistert! Der Baumkuchen war ein Traum – frisch, saftig und mit viel Liebe gemacht. Dazu ein hervorragender Kaffee, der das Genusserlebnis perfekt abgerundet hat. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die unglaublich freundliche Eigentümerin, mit der wir ein sehr nettes Gespräch führen durften. Man spürt sofort, mit wie viel Herzblut sie ihr Geschäft führt. Auch der Service war aufmerksam und herzlich – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Das Geschäft selbst ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, mit einer warmen Atmosphäre, in der man gerne verweilt. Wir kommen definitiv wieder – ein echter Geheimtipp!“

“I love this place. Wonderful food and a nice outdoor section that we can bring our dog. There's even a little doggy menu. We were at the Bradenton location today and Kim delivered great service. See you again soon and thank you“

“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.“

“Love all the food! And the music at night outside.“
