32 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Sarasota

“Best dang tacos in the state! The fusion taco is my favorite. The shrimp quesadilla is incredible. I would bathe in the salsa but apparently that’s frowned upon. Seriously, great food and a great family business.“

“Five stars for the little dude working tonight, his manager, gets one star. I had ordered a large fry and accidentally got a small. When i handed it back, this manager started screaming towards him “THROW IT AWAY. THROW IT AWAY.” While in front of me and my friends, how rude is that? This guy was so young. Management should definitely be more patient with their young employees.“

“Stopped in today while driving by. What an amazing spot. I could not have a higher recommendation for Lady Lola Food Truck. The staff was awesome and very helpful. The food was over the top amazing. Well prepared and creative. 11/10“

“Love their food“

“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.“

I’d like to say this one more time for good measure, please put more salt on your fries. See you in a couple days - hopefully having more salt on our fries.“

“Great experience at Culver’s! From the moment we walked in, everything was welcoming and very well organized. I especially want to mention ANA, who took our order — she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and patient, and made the whole experience even better. The entire team was polite, professional, and worked together perfectly. The restaurant was very clean, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you to ANA and the whole Culver’s team for such excellent service!“

“From the moment I stepped into Blaze Pizza, it felt like I had wandered into a little world of magic—warm, welcoming, and full of joy. The sparkle of the experience truly came from Tiffany, who felt like a fairy godmother of customer service. With her bright smile, kindness, and cheerful energy, she instantly made the place feel special.

As my pizza was crafted, it felt less like an order and more like a magical creation coming to life. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but it was Tiffany’s enchanting attitude that made the experience unforgettable. She turned an ordinary visit into something straight out of a Disney dream.

If you’re looking for more than just great pizza—if you want a little magic with your meal—Blaze Pizza is the place to go, especially when Tiffany is there to make your day shine. ✨🍕“

“First time here with my family it was really yummy burger it taste fresh and I love their fries too!“

“This is truly a best kept secret of Sarasota. The food portions ,Quality and service are amazing. Oh i forgot to mention how clean thi.s restaurant is. This is the best of the best“

“Food was great the store whatsoever understaffed. I felt bad for the sales, Clark.“

“Sofia and the Manager (who was visiting from the Ana Maria Island location) were absolutely terrific. Sophia recommended some healthy choices, and the manager refilled my iced tea three times. Then, as I was leaving, he retrieved a large cup and filled it up with half-and-half tea. Perfect!“

“The staff was friendly and my Italian sub was perfect, which is the kind of quality I expect from Jersey Mike's. But I have to ding at least one star here because I was the only one in the shop and although I only ordered one sub, the person preparing my sandwich was also preparing three other sandwiches at the same time. I understand phone in and app orders need to be filled, but I believe a customer standing there waiting for their subs should be given at least some deference. I had somewhere to be, and this almost made me late.“

“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 😉“

“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.“

“The location was very clean and well stocked. Food was prepared well and as ordered (one order has many mods). Ingredients tasted fresh. Team members friendly and helpful. There was a young man working the front counter and I didn't believe he stopped cleaning and organizing the entire time we were there. It seems like they actually care about the restaurant. Very nice!“

“I've only ever visited this location's drive through for breakfast but have always had a good experience. The people are actually friendly and seem like they care. The food is always fresh and I appreciate that they use real eggs.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this Pizza Hut location. Their customer service is truly above and beyond every single time. They always make you feel valued as a customer, but the last visit really stood out they actually created a custom pizza just to make me happy. That level of care and attention is rare these days. Great food, great people, and amazing service. Highly recommended!“

“They finally have chicken salad subs again, I’m very pleased!!! The chicken salad mixture is nice and normal….no weird additions and very tasty!! Update! I visited again today and the Chicken Salad wasn’t on the menu!!! But I asked and the guy said they still have it for the time being… but it will be going away soon…… so sad but happy that I was able to order it today, they were very nice about it!!“

“Everytime I visit this location always pleasant service....I really appreciate the friendly staff and kind service, we really need to be more thankful for the little things sometimes they do not know how much they can lift a person spirits just with the kind words. Thank you all at this location for you service!“

“I tried this last night and by far the best food! i had the Quesabirria. Absolutely delicious. the meat melts in your mouth.“

“The Jersey Mike on Fruitville in Sarasota are unbelievable. The people were great there. The sandwiches are fantastic and the managers are so professional !!! I’ll go there every day for different types of sandwiches and they are all delicious one Employee named Josh. It was very helpful but they all are love going to Jersey Mike’s on Fruitville Road in Sarasota, Florida.“
