Restaurants near Placida

“Excellent food, atmosphere and staff . Ask for Finn if you want to try this delicious drink ;)”

“Very, very busy when we were there mid March 2022 so I'll certainly cut them some slack for (kind of) slow service. Our server really hustled and when the food arrived it was really good. If you like a good sized burger, this is the place! Fries were fantastic, too. One small complaint; Cool Pickle is a place where they sometimes have (continuous) karaoke, which I can personally do without. Kinda loud and difficult to have a conversation with the other diners we were with. Some of the performers couldn't carry a note if they had a 5 gallon pail, but some were quite good. However, very good for the most part and I will be returning again.”

“Amazing service food and atmosphere.”

“Larry’s is all homemade it’s a husband and wife duo that really goes the extra mile to make their customers happy. The owners will greet you with a smile and delicious food every time you go in here. If it’s on their menu just trust that’s it good. This is my favorite spot around for lunch around Englewood.”

“Tastes so very good ! So glad they are here ! Makes me miss home even more!!! God bless Texas , God bless this home cooked food ! We will definitely be back !”

“LOVE that they have a plant-based vegan menu!!! Just wish they were open later hours, i.e.-for dinner, etc.”

“Adriella is so sweet, informative, kind, funny and a great employee all around. She explained the different options, products and helped in every way. The ice cream, cotton candy and snow cones were great. We visited both days of our vacation in May. Very cute and clean place!! Highly recommended!! We returned to Florida a month later and visited this place 4 of our 5 days in town! There’s so much offered here! Waffle cones, waffle bowls, homemade snow cones, sundaes, cheesecake, shakes, cotton candy, banana splits, floats…. I’ve never seen a “snack” shop offer so much!! Cute atmosphere, great prices, amazing service!!!”

“Creative cuisine presented like art.”

“Delicious homemade ice cream! Friendly service and generous scoops! Loved the Orange Pineapple!”

“Happened on this cafe and so pleased we did. The cafe has adjoining rooms - one mostly with booths & a long counter and the other with tables & chairs. So clean and pleasant. The waitress went above and beyond with our menu choices. We were there about 2:30 and this is near their 3:00 closing, but we did not feel rushed. The waitress explained that they had been very busy earlier in the day, so there were a few items that they were out of, but suggested great substitutions. I really liked their breakfast and lunch choices.”

“This place is great, More flavors than you can think of, Really great stop after a hot day at work.”

“We go here every week. The food is the best and the staff are very nice. They even have a cute little seating area. The chips and guacamole are out of this world. We get take out tostadas as well. The shells are so good the don’t get soggy by the the time we get home.”

“Cool old school nautical bar, restaurant. My resident hosts said best on island. Away I went for Sunday brunch,lunch.

My hosts said try the fish. Catch of the day. Etc etc. I ordered triple tail platter. I'm from Boston so I have no idea what a triple tail is. I asked for grilled fillet. Small thin serving. Reminded me of TV ad...." where's the beef." Good yet could have eaten 2x.

Platter came with fries and small serving of coleslaw. Coleslaw was good, IMHO.

good local beer, attentive service, ( I sat at the bar). One dollar bills on the ceiling. ( I did not ask). Very good vibe. Why is fish so expensive on an island. I would return to investigate alt. Items on menu.”

“My wife & I ate just days ago & was the worst experience in years, cod was Extremely heavily breaded, the mashed potatoes were actually barely cooked baked potatoes with the top mashed a little with a fork? The fries my wife got were undercooked and cool. I am afraid to complain too much as the cook has ways for revenge when he “fixes” the food & returns it. The waitress was fine. Never Again……..Never!”

“It was delicious I even got a warm blueberry delicious muffin free because they didn’t have the kind of bread I wanted for my French toast!”

“Hands Down the Best Neighborhood Spot: Neighbor’s Beer and Wine

If you want a place that feels like home with a heartbeat of genuine warmth, look no further than Neighbor’s Beer and Wine. From the moment I walked in on Derby Day, the energy was electric — hats, laughter, and a crowd that truly knows how to celebrate community.

The owners, Bill and Natalie, are nothing short of spectacular. They don’t just run a bar; they cultivate a neighborhood sanctuary where everyone feels welcome, appreciated, and part of something real. Their friendliness and personal touch shine through in every corner of the place — from Cheryl’s attentive bartending to Heidi’s legendary hot dogs outside, this team knows how to make an impression.

Under their stewardship, the space has transformed into a brighter, more inviting hub, balancing tradition with fresh new energy. The non-smoking policy inside makes it comfortable for everyone, while the outdoor seating ensures no one’s left out. Whether it’s watching football, throwing darts, or rocking the Kentucky Derby hats, this is where memories are made.

If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out on one of Englewood’s best-kept secrets. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a community experience crafted with heart. You’ll leave feeling like family — and believe me, you’ll be coming back for more.

I can't wait to go back”
