12 Best Bar & Grill in Sarasota

“My family and I ate at Gilligan's 2 weeks ago. After telling my friends at work about it, 2 of my co-workers have made the trip down specifically for the nachos! We plan on going back again. It's well worth the almost 2 hour drive for us.“

“First time trying the Madfish Grill and most definitely won’t be our last. A very good dining experience with both the food and very friendly accommodating server, Kelsey. Thank you Kelsey for making our experience a good one. See you again soon.“

“New Pass Grill is the perfect slice of old Florida charm mixed with unbeatable good vibes! 🌴🍔 From the moment we arrived, the view took our breath away — sparkling blue water, boats drifting by, and the smell of burgers sizzling on the grill. The beautiful cashier Chelsea was absolutely radiant and made our experience extra special! 🌞 She greeted us with a genuine smile, was super attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. You can tell she truly loves what she does — her energy is contagious! And Wendell in the kitchen? Absolute legend. 👨‍🍳 Every single burger came out cooked to perfection — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. Hands down some of the best burgers in Sarasota. We also have to give a huge shoutout to Brandon in the bait shop! 🎣 Not only is he incredibly friendly, but he’s also so knowledgeable — whether you’re new to fishing or a local angler, he’s got the best tips, gear, and advice to make your day on the water a success. Between the amazing staff, laid-back atmosphere, and killer food, New Pass Grill is the kind of place you never want to leave. A true Sarasota treasure, can’t wait to come back!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Stopped here looking for a place to kill time with our boys before a flight. Adam took care of them nonstop with Shirley Temples while we enjoyed Happy Hour adult beverages at amazing deals. Great ambiance, outdoor Florida breeze, a ton of tv’s for games, terrific drinks and outstanding service. GREAT, GREAT PLACE!!“

“The owners, staff, and the local patrons creates an enjoyable atmosphere. Sitting at the bar there are no strangers whether it's your first or your 30th time. In addion to the great atmosphere, the food is really good ?“

“Best martinis ever….Stop by and see Henry!“

“I can’t thank event coordinator Colleen enough for helping me organize our baseball team’s party! We had an amazing time today, it couldn’t have gone any better!! Our waitress Bo was also absolutely amazing!“

“I stumbled on this gem after googling for a restaurant near me that wasn’t a chain or overpriced. I didn’t expect to choose a sports bar, but it’s the best decision I’ve made since I moved to Sarasota a year ago. I had a lb of the chicken thigh fingers with half of their Outback flavor (a must try if you like a little spice) and the other half in mango habenero. I also had an order of the curly fries. Total: $13 bucks. I would’ve paid twice that. The flavors just bursts into your mouth! The sauces tastes homemade and the texture was just right. The atmosphere was top tier with a friendly bartender who seems to be well liked by the regulars. I will definitely make this my guilty pleasure of the month. I love supporting a family establishment, especially one who is a “Friends”sitcoms lover!“

“Have lunch here regularly and love the place. Cory does a fantastic job of taking care of us. He always goes above and beyond .“
