Visited the restaurant for lunch. The shrimp appetizer is delicious. But the salty dog was soggy and overwhelming. I’m sure they have many other delicious items.

We stopped in mid-afternoon for a fish and chips late lunch after spending several hours at the Mote Aquarium across the street. Our server, Foster, was attentive and friendly, and the fish was perfectly prepared and a good-sized portion. Most of the tables have a beautiful open bayside view, and we saw some people docking their boats right next to the restaurant and coming in to eat. There's limited parking since they share the same lot with the large marina next door, but there's additional parking nearby across the street.

Restaurant is on the water. Great atmosphere, food & service. They have seating inside and outside. They also have a bar.

One of my top picks for lunch after a beach or boat outing! Casual atmosphere, stunning water views, and entertaining boat watching. Indoor and outdoor seating options with a breezy feel. The fried fish is excellent, and the drinks are spot on. While there can be a wait at times, it's definitely worth it!

Our first visit here in 5 years of Sarasota residency. It is not a ‘British pub’, per Googles description. It is a beachy, airy, comfortable and casual Sarasota style place, on the water, next to a marina/boatyard, with great views. Good food, full size + cocktails and prime to all- great service!!There was a wait, but in about 10 minutes text said table was ready. We sat at a high top along the bay view boardwalk, and our server Gracie arrived with menus, cocktail list and an engaging personna! (Note to mgmt.- Gracie is a keeper. Treat her right!)Cocktails are generous and well made. There was a grouper egg roll appetizer, and it was generous as well- 2 rolls full of fish and a filling reminiscent of a good corn chowder.Photos below show our lunch selections and some of the establishment.We like Old Salty Dog and will come again!!

I got the fried hot dog. It was good in the moment but prepare to feel absolutely atrocious and sick for the next day after. You’ve been

Visited OSD for dinner with family. Great location and the Fish and Chips were really good. Fish was flaky and crunchy. Potatoes were hot from the frier and beer was cold. Perfect casual meal by the water.
