“It's a small bar that's very homie feeling. They serve beer and wine and a few other things. No liquor. The owner is very nice and is usually there. They have 3 pool tables and have pool league there on some Wednesdays and other things believe other nights. It's a very chill spot to hang out.Parking: If you park around back there is plenty of parking. Out front parking is a little limited.”
“I love it at Outlook because it is open late, long karaoke til late, the best karaoke, lots of great singers. The entire place is always clean. I've noticed that every single time. The tables, the bathrooms. Very cool designs and artwork all over. Lots of pool tables. Love the DJs and bartenders. Thank you for having a place to hang out and listen to music past 9 or 10pm. Before your spot, there was literally nowhere.”
“This place is great. It's small and they don't take reservations. But the waits are reasonable. The food was really good, I especially enjoyed the lamb Saab.”
“Pancakes are HUGE! Grits are nice and creamy. $3. for a good-sized cup. Used to go to Skillets but they reduced the amount to EXACTLY 6 oz (said the manager when I asked). 6 oz for $5,95. I sent them back and Watched her throw them away. I told my waitress "Tomorrow I will order the LARGE SIZE. For more money. And send them back. And watch them throw them away. LOL (not really, but my waitress laughed and said "Do it!" Nope. Not going back. Max's Table for me!”
“Wish I could give a 10 for food, it was that good!Jacob was the perfect server; pleasant, professional and with perfect guidance.Now we know Pop's didn't arrange this but we had a very special dolphin show on the Intercoastal.Perfect marks all around!!”
“I just ate the best sandwich I've ever ever had! 9 ounces of meat on a 9 inch chunk of Cuban bread, nice and crispy on the outside, the cheese was melted, the meat was hot, and.....I just can't believe how incredibly good this Cuban sandwich was.I also had one of their little potato torpedo looking things, papas rellenas, I believe. Crunchy on the outside, inside is mashed potato that is wrapped around some spicy beef filling. It was a very cool snack, for sure! I'll probably never get back this way, as I am from the midwest, but if I do, for darn sure I'll be stopping back in here.I did read the reviews that said it was in a convenience store/gas station, but in my head I thought it meant that it was in the building of former convenience store/gas station, but it really IS inside a gas station store. You walk in the door and the food area is to the right. Ring the bell if the wonderful owner is not in view. It's a simple menu, very fast service, and just spaced on two things I had, I imagine everything else is incredibly good.There is a seating little area outside in the back, but otherwise it's take it with you.Absolutely worth the detour off the highway!!”
“Toasted Coconut ? ice cream in a freshly made waffle bowlChocolate chip cookie dough in a hand dipped in chocolate and sprinkles waffle cone.Plus the girls got Cotton Candy pops too.Fired ? Brewed Rootbeer for me.You will love this Place.”
“Lamb Phall, never had it, my go-to is vindaloo. Very nice spicy and that awesome blend of bold and delicate flavors together.Chilli naan was probably some of the prettiest I've ever had and the texture was wonderful crunchy light and chewy but not too chewy.Definitely have to go back for the buffet on the weekend I believe they said they have 20 plus dishes and it's $18. I'm not an expert on Indian cuisine but this is delicious and seems like it's not just Americanized. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and passionate.This is another no-brainer win if you're looking for Indian anywhere in Sarasota County I would drive there for it. It's also quite a bit more affordable than some of the places up in Sarasota.”
“We love this restaurant! It is one of our favorites! The food is a few levels above the Mediterranean food I have eaten in the past. It's a beautiful place, nice and quiet. The best part is the service. They are so friendly and do a great job and genuinely seem happy to see people!”
“We are visiting from NH. We had breakfast here today and everything was PERFECT!!!! DELICIOUS food and Mimosas. The staff is SUPER SWEET and friendly! I wish THE BEST for them. I will definitely be back next visit.”
“Experience a delightful breakfast affair at this family-owned gem, where a delightful clan curates a menu brimming with fresh, top-notch delights. Set in a warm and inviting ambiance, their attentive care ensures each visit is a cherished start to your day!”
“We normally go to Sarasota for Thai food, but the good reviews made us try Thai2Go. My husband and I had crispy spring rolls, the rice soup, red and yellow curries with chicken. Everything we ordered was excellent, and the young man (we assumed the owner) who waited on us was very friendly. We will definitely get take-out from here again!”
“First and foremost...GO HERE !!!! This was the absolute best dining experience I've ever had!!! The food the service EVERYTHING was phenomenal!!! Our waitress Madison was the sweetest kindest waitress I've ever had. Florida is one of the worst places to "eat out". This restaurant completely changed our minds. If you're looking for phenomenal food and service without being rushed or made to feel like you're an inconvenience...this is your spot. Or if you're looking for how to treat customers....just go observe their staff and take some lessons. DARRELL'S is where it's at, my first stop if I'm ever back! Thank you all for a great experience!”
“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.”
“I honestly can’t say enough about this place ❤️❤️ my family and I love their frozen meals! Chicken pot pie is the best! Baked ziti, meatloaf, enchiladas!”
“First timers. Food was hot - we both had Philly cheesesteak. Great flavor and the Cuban bread was perfect. The bay view is unobstructed and allowed us to watch the water and the boaters. Friendly helpful staff. Fast service. A hidden treasure we did not know was hiding there. Will be back!!”
“Dog approved and kid approved, what more could you ask for? The service was great and they both loved their ice cream. They even offered free ice cream scoops for the pup!Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly and pup friendly!”
“Real Italians, real homemade food with tomatoes imported from Italy. The real deal here and so far the best Italian food in Venice. Sorry downtown spots, La Botte in strip mall is awesome. The gnocchi was so perfect the sauce and lasagna was great. The veal was great, the eggplant appetizer was so wonderful. Don't miss this place when in Venice”
“As a Texan with a constant craving for good BBQ, I've been disappointed by Florida's offerings – until I found this place. It's the only spot worthy of claiming to serve Texas BBQ. The brisket sandwich was phenomenal, with perfect flavor and juicy brisket. This place won’t serve you dry brisket like other local joints…. The service was excellent, and with the owners hailing from Texas, the Texas spirit shines through. It felt like a taste of home in Florida.”
“We’ve eaten here 4-5 times and it’s always great, fine dining. Sauces make many dishes amazing.Staff gets it. It’s expensive but this place makes it worth it. Reservation usually needed by phone. Valet parking no fee.”
“My husband and I spent a beautiful morning at this little gem in Venice. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, I don’t have anything but praise! We’ve lived here for almost a year and hadn’t visited before. A friend gave us a gift card so it was a perfect reason to try it out. When we arrived the line was out the door (usually a good sign). We tried the quiche, the fougasse,the lemon pound cake and a croissant. Truly exquisite. What a treasure for our little town. We’ll be back next to try the coffee!”
“Service excellent. Food mix excellent. I was excited to eat the crab stack. It sounded better than it tasted though. It was in real need of a complimentary sauce over it. Without a sauce this is 3 or 4 stars max. With the right sauce parring it could be 4 anyway. The crab could have a little lump backfin to make it better but... sorry to say it. Shrimp we had were excellent and prepared perfectly!”
“After being let down by the "local" places on Siesta Key, we were recommended to this place by some locals and it was our best meal of the entire trip!! Mike the manager was absolutely awesome. Our server Olivia was unmatched and should be promoted immediately. She made our awesome food experience 10x better with her awesome service experience! We did not have a single disappointing thing with our meal and all 6 of us will be back every year during spring break!”
“I got the double chocolate muffin, it was good, people were nice, environment was goodKid-friendliness: There are good basic things on the menu that the kids love”
“We were a group of six, sat outside. The ambiance was not the greatest but the service, wine and appys were great. The appy tray was wonderful and the brie was second to none. We had received a gift cert to go here and took a few friends to try it. No one was disappointed. When we return to Florida next year we will definitely schedule another visit. Something different and fun if you are a wine drinker. The cost I considered very reasonable and the wine flights were a lot of fun. I recommend you give it a try and don't let the location in a strip mall chase you away.”
“Whenever we can, we eat breakfast or lunch at Mango Bistro. We sometimes contrive to do something in Englewood (like go to the post office there instead of our local one) specifically so we can go to Mango afterwards. Their food is all fresh and well-prepared, plus they have a wide selection of fresh juice concoctions with or without alcohol.We love just about everything on the menu. Their quiche is great and is accompanied by a huge side salad. All of their wraps, tacos, and sandwiches come with blue corn chips and fresh fruit slices, when available. The staff are warm and welcoming. And we've found the other people who eat there to be friendly as well.Thank you, Mango Bistro, for doing such a great job so consistently!Vegetarian options: They have a separate vegetarian menu.Dietary restrictions: There are many options for those who have food sensitivities. If you tell your server what issues you have, they will either recommend something for you or they will ask one of the food prep people what options they can recommend.”
“We vacation in Venice often but this was our first time eating at Bodrum. We’ve really been missing out! The food, drink, and service were all top notch. Our server, Lisa, was very friendly and helped us narrow down our menu choices. She really helped make the experience next level and we look forward to coming back!”
“Decide at the last minute to stop here to avoid some traffic and parking downtown. Wasn't sure if we wanted to stay because of the limited menu. We all had the quiche Lorraine which was amazing! So glad we stayed! It was fluffy and creamy and was an unexpected delight. It is a cute little French cafe. I really wanted to have a cappuccino and forgot to order it when we left so I will need to come back! A nice surprise.”
“Reputedly one of the best restaurants in Venice, also has a Marina. The food is a diverse fine dining menu, heavy on proteins; fish and meats. You will absolutely need a reservation as the crowd is a sunset watching group, so even early diners take their time... Unsurprisingly tables start to open up after dark. Reservations for 9:00 pm were offered.”
