“My friend whose been here before suggested that we go for our girl’s night out. I’m hlad we did. What a fun atmosphere and the owner is wonderful and conversational.The food choices are good ol back in the day comfort faborites. Turkey Tetrazinni, Shepherds pie, Chicken corfon blue, stuffed sweet peppers .Alot of the dishes if not all are made to order. I had the chicken enchiladas and my friend had the stuffed peppers. Both excellent plates. They had 3 featured wines that evening. The owner suggested the most affordable one( could have been the opposite) It was excellent and they had a special, second bottle 1/2 off if we wanted.A great visit, I really enjoyed the meal, atmosphere and my company. We were able to stay past closing and chat while they were cleaning. This is a very popular restaurant. Not sure if its wise to go without a reservation, They open at 4:30 and last seating is 8 pm .“
“I came here with the intention of ordering a burger. They had gotten good reviews and I wanted to try them out.Our server greeted us pleasantly and then made up a table of my wife's choosing. As we were being seated, our server let us know about the grouper specials. My wife and I both decided to have the grouper Reuben sandwich with tater tots. The sandwiches were delicious and I recommend them if you are in the area.When it was time to go, my wife asked for something other than styrofoam for the doggie bag and once again the server was very accommodating. Overall a very good experience.“
“Rainy Sunday morningThe church crowd was here. The interior was full of anxious hungry patrons and all the tables were full. The hostess took our name and we stood outside with about 25 other people. “We’re the next group of 6” I heard. Groups of people walked, a group of patrons walked in, they were moving crowd. Eventually, we were seated. Kara greeted us as our waitress took our order.Start things off with coffee. Coffee at a breakfast restaurant can be iffy, Word of Mouth coffee is goooood.I had the veggie omelet, pecan pancake and veggie fritatta. Delicious, more coffee, yes and thank you. Full and happy. Rain stopped and the sun is coming out.“
“Cute, busy place. We had to wait some time for a table. Raspberry scones and cappuccinos were great. However, my ham and cheese quiche was made with an orange American (?) cheese. Was disappointed and didn't eat. Wait person never asked if anything was wrong. I'd try again but order something else.“
“Best dog shop ever. Layout, service, food was wowzers. Must try. You’ve never Hot dog’d before if you haven’t had Vienna Beef. Italian beef sandwich was also to live for. Shout out to Tony’s great place for anytime, occasion. FIREEEEE !!“
“Highly recommend this place. Awesome menu full of every type of hot dog. They even have beyond sausage dogs that are so good.Vegetarian options: They have beyond sauasage and veggie dogs. It’s really amazing place for a vegetarians who miss hot dogs.“
“We enjoyed my birthday dinner at the Banyon!Katie was our server who provided excellent recommendations and excellent service!we will be back soon! Nick had the lamb and it was amazing. Cassie had the. poached butter with homemade pasta, and I had the delicious haddock! Stacy the manager stopped by to make sure that we enjoyed our diner And this beautiful place so so much we will be back soon!“
“Johan Johan Johan! Best bartender/server I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. This man is an absolute machine and beyond respectful. Always a pleasure to sit with him, my wife and I will actually walk out if he is not working. Nothing to do with the rest of the staff hes just that awesome to be around!“
“There's certain restaurants that you absolutely treasure, this is one of them. You almost have to know that this place exists and when you do...you'll be there 6 days a week ordering a sub for lunch. Ive tried so many things on the menu and i am stuck deciding which one is the best. Its too hard!! The owner is the chef and is super passionate about making sure you have a great tasty and delightful sandwich. If i could give more than 5 stars i would. Some of my favorites are steak and cheese, pepper and egg, and tuna. I also would like to comment about how nice the staff is. They all are such nice people and go out of their way to make sure your order is complete and everything from the simple things like napkins are in your to go bag! Thank you so much for awesome lunches!! Andd keep up the good work!!“
“Well today’s second visit is a reminder that I needed to write a review. My second time having Ann Marie as our server and its still 5+ star service she delivers. She is so friendly and attentive.The first tine I visited was because of my Get Upside APP offered 6% off. I didnt tell my bf thats where we were going. Well when we pulled up , He said “ oh this place? me and the neighbors came after a race and service stunk” Well our visit together with our grand daughter changed that . Ann Marie was our server, She was excellent and what we thought were going to be pricey loaded Bloody Marys were delicious and affordable. We enjoyed our breakfast very much.Todays visit was no exception, I was so happy to get Ann Marie again. I got the usual sausage n gravy biscuits n a side of fruit and my daughter got the whiskey bacon benedict and their special hash browns . She loved her breakfast and the sweet tea was great and Ann Marie kept them refilled.Will definitely be back and Im signed up for their rewards program .“
“I have found a new favorite ! I stopped in for breakfast and I kept thinking I have to write something on this place! My food was served fresh & was delightful with every bite. My waitress was kind and bubbly & she didn't mind sharing her favorite choices as I was undecided what to get ! Five stars all the way across the board, cleanliness, the food, the prices , the cook, my wait time and my waitress mentioned her name was ashley. I hope to catch her everytime! I hope the staff and restaurant in general gets the recognition they deserve.Also- she has the cutest tattoos all over !“
“This place seemed popular and with a good atmosphere.The lobster melt is not something we’d recommend here. For a $28 sandwich, do not get this item. Go with the lobster roll or something else.The almond chicken salad was ok, decent for something different. I’d stick with a grilled or backend chicken over this item.The broccoli soup was top notch and worth the try.Our waitress, Tiffany was good and we liked her.“
“We dined here tonight for the first time and were pleasantly surprised! Wonderful ambiance, a relief from the busy crowds at the other restaurants nearby. The menu was varied with vegetarian, seafood, even duck l'orange. Prices typical for fine dining. The staff was courteous and friendly. All in all, it was a great experience. I had the special, turkey pot pie, and my husband had the vegetarian cauliflower steak with an herbed cheese sauce. It was outstanding! We'll be back.“
“The fish and chips were fabulous. The cod is so tender and moist. Had to be fresh not frozen. My wife got soup and vegetable. Everything was great. The waitress was very friendly and clearly on top of things. We’ve already gone back a second time, and will undoubtedly return again on another Friday to get the all you can eat fish and chips.“
“Awesome place to eat! I stopped in to have some breakfast and was extremely impressed with the vibe of this place and the flavors of the two items I tried (French toast and biscuits and gravy). Everything was cooked with love. Rusty, my server was super welcoming and delightful. This is the kind of place you can't miss out on trying.“
“Incredible wine selection, amazing friendly service, cozy atmos- don’t think you’d need more for a “wine down” day to be honest.The owner Carmel is such a sweetheart and warm & welcoming from get go !She knows her wine and her collection speaks for itself.Try the charcuterie board to go with your favorite pick or her pick for you.Either way it will all work out good here in Venice, FL.Vegetarian options: She could do more veggies & fruit in her board. Feel free to ask.“
“We had a hit and miss experience at the Shamrock Cafe. Our service was great and we enjoyed our time.With our food, we had both good and bad. The meatloaf was average at best. The scallops and shrimp had a distinct taste that we were not fond of. We can see others lining it though. The prime rib was very good as were the salads and mashed potatoes.Overall, we spent about $120 for 4 adults and a child. With a bunch of other places to try, we probably won’t be back in a while but it is worth a try if you are in the area especially because the service was very good.“
“Stopped here on our way home from a Rays Spring Training game. Found it because of our need for the Tesla chargers on site. We were pleasant surprised with BrewBurgers. We had a burger with bacon jam and the French dip, both with tots (which I mean, if there’s tots, I’m in!). Both sandwiches were great. Restaurant was relatively full but our order was fast. Sat outside and enjoyed some live music (musician was fantastic!). Atmosphere was very relaxed but upbeat. Highly recommend. Shout out to our server Sierra who was fabulous and oh so sweet.“
“The service was great. Yes, I said the service was great! The biscuits and gravy had a lot of sausage and came out on hot plates. the chicken salad croissant was big! The waiter was kind and attentive. We will be back when we come back from Michigan.“
“Large fun bar with pub food and sit down dining. We ate at the bar, which is covered but partially outdoors. My wife had the loaded hot dog which is quite a meal. My Mahi sandwich was very good.All in all this is better than average pub food with good service and a friendly atmosphere.Downside on the ambiance is that you're either looking at a parking lot or a crowded boat yard. No water views.“
“First timers and was impressed with the quality/value this restaurant offered. Simple menu but something for everyone. Food was flavorful & fresh and service was great (Julio was attentive)!Parking: They have their own parking lot, not typical of most other restaurants in downtown Venice.Kid-friendliness: Nice kids menu, chicken fingers were actually chicken cutlets cut in strips. Excellent“
“10/10 would recommend, have been here 5 times now and each time the staff is very friendly and polite, food is delicious too usually get the butter burger with no tomato and they actually credit you 30 cents back for removing a topping- that is awesome I’ve never seen anyone do that “
“Great little restaurant in Downtown Venice! I stopped in on a nice day to have a drink and read my book. I sat in the bar and they had the doors open, which let in a nice breeze. The staff was friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. It seems like they’ve got some great food options too.“
“We normally have a very good experience coming to the establishment but I had a very disappointing experience attempting to order carry out. I called in the first time and was placed on hold for two and a half minutes before I hung up and decided to call back and was immediately placed back on hold again for an additional 5 minutes before my wife called in and was able to immediately place an order over the phone while I was still on hold. We would have placed an order online but the selection of customizing our order was not available.“
“Patches , brings joy to my morning with every visit , the young manager works hard and does a great job keeping everything together and running well , very impressive , i will definetly be back soon. ❤️ They definetly aint clowning around ?Parking: I love the parking because it is easy to come in and get out and i can have car meets“
“21 of us snowbirds had a great night out. 11 at one grill and 10 right next at a second grill. Good choice of food. The chef was entertaining and a sense of humor. Prices on average for the area in Fla. Everyone wants to go back. Reservations a must to be sure. Lots of parking. It’s right along Rt 41. In Venice Fla.“
“This is my second review of Brew Burger. It is an awesome Sports Bar with an open air feel, happy, friendly bartenders, and great service. our favorite bartenders are Liz, Maddie, Sydney, Bailey, Chad, Jill and Haley, one of the hostess all made us feel like part of their family. We tried the Maddie B burger OMG it was delicious. It could have fed three people. The great service and Home like feel keeps us coming back. This place by far is our favorite in Venice.“
“Clearly a neighborhood favorite, this was our first visit...Deanna was fantastic (server) and welcomed us warmly providing information on the specials and answering our questions. Dinner was delicious but I will have to let you know about the desserts later ( we took some to go). I had the trio combo and it was delicious as was my husband's peasant salad with gyro meat added.“
“Had bangers and mash. Very good. Service was great, quick service for a large group, and food was hot when served. Only downside for me was no Steak & Kidney Pie, my favorite. Seems like I was the only one that had a longing for it though. I WOULD GO BACK.“
“TJs was busy, but when isn't it? We were in during happy hour and sat at the bar. Rob was our bartender, and he makes a very smooth chocolate martini. My husband ordered pot stickers steamed, which he liked. I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was made perfectly and was a lot to eat. We'll go back again.“
“Love this quaint, aroma filled shop. You can enter via the wine bar in the back or in the front of the store. Gift ideas, high quality roasted coffee, I recommend the Costa Rica Joffrey blend. Great choice of wines in the back. Prices are fair. Staff is always helpful. We try to go here whenever we visit Venice.“
“Absolutely love this place. Great location, really cool atmosphere, and the best food! We ordered a chocolate malt milkshake that was to die for. Also ordered the baked ziti came with two garlic knots. Both were so delicious! The ziti was authentic and the garlic knot had fresh garlic on top. This will for sure be a repeat destination for myself and family.“
“In all honesty I would have never tried this place if they didn't host a Harry Potter trivia night, which was great. The quality of the food surprised me as everything I had was great. Their beer wall was great, and the food was reasonably priced for the portions, as well as very tasty. Will be back.“
“Decent place didn’t have the food. Coffee was very good. Rooms are very clean. The only problem I see is if there are an hour if you need towels, you have to go down and get them yourself because they have nobody working overnight to bring towels up to you if you need them or anything, oh it was a decent place to “
“Wanted something different then my usual, So I ordered the Shrimp Scampi. I couldn't taste any garlic, which is what I like about scampi. It was very buttery and very lemony was not a fan of it at all. Would not reorder it again. Otherwise service was great.“
“It was busy this night, and that's actually something I like, usually, as the kitchen, and wait staff are hopping, less mistakes. As a resteraunt worker of 10+ years, I can "read" any resteraunt. This particular evening was not what I expected. I could tell there were a few new trainees. Our waiter must have been having a bad moment. To walk up to ANY table that just ordered an appetizer and say "are you guys gonna order anything else or what?"...?...Wow. And...I guess maybe a new guy in the kitchen doesn't know the difference between salsa and marinara sauce, (Some things just aren't meant for salsa), and that's okay too. I get it, rough night. I just had laughed out loud, however, when hearing every wait person stand there and complain about No cups, No knives, No forks...?? Yup. Been there! Poor dish pit person! They were super slow, super new, super swamped, or all the above..?In my day, we'd go help them, not slam them like that. (I feel as if a certain generation has not been taught Work Ethics.) Anyways. It is what it is, and my Oriental Salad was really good. **⚠️ Tip your server cash ⚠️**?They now have Tips added to paychecks and have to pay taxes on Tips if put on credit cards? (Which is VERY WRONG, By the way)And no, I rarely tip less for bad performance, everyone has bad days, and we are all Human, and make mistakes. Remember That. ?“
“Very little to complain about, however your butter packets are impossible to open! Very busy, and a little slow service, but worth the wait!!!Kid-friendliness: The restaurant was loaded with kids and everyone stayed happy with the screaming and clean up after them.“
“The NICEST group in employees every. Honestly, the owner should be extremely proud of the nice group he has. I ran into a snag tonight and they were quick and awesome to fix my mistake. Everyone needs to have a group of employees like this. To the gentleman, LEO at the window. You ROCK, I hope you get a raise and they honor you, because you are amazing ❤️“
“We came here on Sunday and there was a car show in town. This place was warm and welcoming so we decided to have brunch. It took a while to get a coffee and coke. My wife ordered the Double D Griddle and I ordered an omelet with ham. My wife's meal was ok but nothing special. My omelet was good. My wife then ordered a mimosa that was orange juice with a splash of prosecco. While the meal was OK, I believe there are better options in town.“
“A great place to enjoy a great breakfast. Perkins has been in the same location in Venice for as long as I can remember. I recall dining there 40 years ago, in the 1980's, and they're still serving breakfast and other American cuisine after all these years. I ordered the Potato Pancakes and was very happy with my meal. We'll be “
“Norma jeans is a sports bar located in a strip mall. It does have a big bar but it's not a very big place. It has typical bar seating but there were lots of windows to let the light in. There were also numerous TVs on the wall and would be a great place to watch a game, the service was very good and friendly. Tuesday is $.75 wing night with a minimum of five. I had the boneless wings with a side of hot sauce and garlic Parmesan. The wings were very meaty about the size of the golf ball. My only comment for improvement would be. They need to have some hotter sauce, I had a great time there“
“Chef Tony is bringing a remarkable Carribean menu to Venice! We shared the Classic Cuban, and Chicken Curry with sweet plantains as the garnish. The Cuban did not disappoint, from the Roasted Pulled Pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles ,mustard on the perfect Cuban Roll. Every bite delightful.The Chicken Curry over rice, combined with the sweet plantains brought an array of boastful flavors, heat, and a most welcome feeling of thankfulness to the Chef.“
