Restaurants in Venice

“My husband and I stopped in March the 10th and Evan was our server. That young man had 16 people in line waiting to be served. He remained calm, engaged, and very professional. The service is quick and even though the line was very long this young man handling all these people alone didn't excellent job. Don't know who the owner is but you are quite lucky to have him. And no I am not a family member I am from Indiana visiting the area and was quite impressed with your choice of employees. The young man is going to go somewhere in this life.”

“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.”

“Wonderful food, best portioned Old Fashioned (for the money) I've had in years. Great appetizers, entree was wonderful, the Lobster Bisque was outstanding. 10/10 would recommend.”

“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”

“Stopped after a Venice beach day on a whim and so glad we did! Absolutely delishous food and wonderful staff! We will be back, Their breading coating is abs amazing, We tried fried mushroom, shrimp and chicken and wow just amazing! great atmosphere!”

“Such a cute and delicious breakfast spot! We split the quiche Lorraine and the bachamel croissant sandwich. She had a vanilla latte and I had a mocha. Both meals came out with a small side of fresh fruit which included raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, julienned apples soaked in a fresh and sweet fruit juice. The quiche was one of the best we’ve had anywhere, and the croissant sandwich was delicious and didn’t seem heavy, which we anticipated.We want to return soon to try their beautiful assortment of baked goods and treats.”

“Food was amazing, the Cuban sandwich was one the best sandwiches I’ve had in my life, service was phenomenal, workers were extremely nice and caring, finally you get to eat your meal with a great view of planes taking off!”

“I messed up my reservation and accidentally booked a table of 5 for the following weekend. They were super understanding and accommodating despite how busy they were. the food was phenomenal and the ambiance was great. I got the branzino and it was incredible. 100% going ”

“Adana Kabob was terrific. The hostess worked hard to find us a table to our liking, the waiter was informative and attentive and the wall art was interesting and for sale. Ezme was a tasty appetizer and the entrees were excellent. Highly recommended!Parking: Busy location.”

“Dined in for lunch this week! Food was outstanding and the service from Anthony was awesome!!! A great day to have lunch relax and enjoy a beautiful day!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you Anthony !!”

“Definitely the finest Italian food and service on the Island! Everything was fresh, tasted delicious and looked delicious too. A large selection of wine, and our server Ivan was knowledgeable, attentive but not intrusive. Truly our best-ever Italian meal in Venice in the past 5 years!”

“Line up starts at least 30 min before opening. We came too late and didn't want to wait. Definitely a well positioned restaurant by the fishing pier and beach.”

“Very good spot with an expansive menu of margaritas that goes way beyond the standard well tequila and sour mix. Surprising item is veggie quesadilla, the carne asada and bisteka are well done as are the tacos, burritos etc. My go to is Pollo Zaragoza. Only thing missing in my mind is carnitas. If you go around 630/700 be prepared to wait a bit, but you grab a margarita and sit in the beautiful courtyard.”

“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.”

“This place has quickly become one of my favorites. The food is always good, I'm a creature of habit and always get the Eggs Benedict. Hearty portions and a coffee mug that's always full. The staff here is always welcoming and kind. Would definitely recommend stopping in for breakfast!”

“Snook Haven was recommended by a friend, so we decided to give it a try. This is definitely a hidden location off the beaten path while driving in. We even saw a Bobcat. The restaurant nestled way back in the woods on the Myakka River. What an awesome location , You have 2 options. You can eat inside and be served or order your meal and sit outside by live music, We ordered the cat fish dinner with homemade chips, 2 sides option, and collard greens and a smash cheese burger with home made chips and a side salid , Thay have a homemade tomato relish that is unreal, our server Katie D. Was very friendly and informative. One thing I did notice is the whole staff is working with a smile , definitely a hidden jem a must visit. I forgot to mention. We also ordered the peach cobbler and a monster size brownie.”

“Good food, great portions. Not enough staff. Waited 10 minutes at the counter to order a takeout. Cute space, only a few tables. Next time I'll call in an order.”

“This place has absolutely turned into a weekly, sometimes daily, stop for us. It's that good. The scones are so good they can become a bit of a habit.Food: 5 StarsYou cannot go wrong with a bagel sandwich or a breakfast bowl. But you cannot leave without taking a scone, cinnamon roll, espresso cookie or any other bakery item they have in the deli case.Atmosphere: 5 StarsCozy space.Website: 5 StarsHours and menu are always up to date.Location: 5 StarsLocated downtown Venice surrounded by other cute local shops. Walkability is high if you need to work off that scone.Service: 5 StarsEven on the busiest days they servers have never failed to smile or greet you.”

“My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Lucarellis recently. Everything was perfect...our waiter, Hunter, was personable, knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. I appreciated the pacing of our meal. We did not feel rushed as had been the case at another "highly rated" Italian eatery in downtown Venice the other night. We both enjoyed our Ceasar salads and entrees. My husband's seafood dish was delicious; my lasagna with meatball was fantastic. Generous portion of gelato and biscotti capped off a great meal. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing dining experience!”

“Great meal from start to finish! Our waitress, Marina, was very attentive and pleasant. Grilled Cesar salad was fresh and crisp and had just enough char for taste. Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!”

“Thai food at a sports bar? Yes, in deedy. The best Thai food with 4 levels of hear. Chef's hot makes the food not as enjoyable. Mexican hot is my sweet spot, but my wife prefers medium heat. They only serve beer and wine, but that is all you will want eating the Thai food. The place has that great sports bar vibe with several tvs for the various games available that day.”

“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're at Royal Coachman RV Resort and we like to support the food trucks that come here, and tonight (Feb 21st) was the Maine Line's turn. We were not disappointed, not at all. We had the 16 oz serving of Clam Chowdah and enjoyed it. We know our chowders and, while this had its own characteristics, it was still excellent in flavour. Our only criticism was that it had a lot of potatoes versus clams, but the flavour was still there.Our next dishes were Mom's Lobster Roll. The amount of lobster was generous (the menu says 4 oz) and it was claw meat. We loved it. The mayo was sort of dabbed on top. One part of me says I would have preferred the lobster meat to be chopped up and mixed with the mayo - even if it loses something in its presentation. The other part of me says I had it as it was served and I really enjoyed it, so leave it alone.Small oversight. My lobster roll was missing its coleslaw, an oversight that can happen to anyone at any time. On the other hand, my wife's roll included the coleslaw, which she enjoyed. However, the serving was puny. Our suggestion, do away with the potato chips and increase the amount of coleslaw to 6-8 oz.You make the coleslaw whereas you buy the chips. Such a change would be better for you.All told - 10/10 stars!”

“Went there based on the menu and other reviews to try it out. I wanted to try the cheese steak sandwich but it was burger night so I went with the cheeseburger and it was really good! I would definitely go back to support our fellow friends from up north. Good service too, and the prices were good. It gets 5 stars from me and I would definitely recommend trying it out!”

“My client John and I came here for lunch and I met the owner and some nice ladies. The entire staff and management was amazing ?Very friendly clean atmosphere and the price is very reasonable.. Thanks for making my first visit a great experience.”

“I live in Saint Petersburg and was in Venice for work and I googled pizza near me . I Picked closest spot . I am a New Yorker and I know good pizza . And this is definitely one of the BEST pizzas I’ve had in a very long time . I was extremely satisfied . Worth every penny . I would almost make the hour and a half drive from my home to eat here again .”

“Not known for their food menu so I have not had this cool bar on my list to try, but Easter was my lucky day. When my beach experience went awry I found this bar open on my way home. Such a cool small bar with awesome decor of stickers etc. The bartender Troy is from my home state of VERMONT. We talked with other customers of the large craft brew business in Vermont, since the 3 of us have all been to many of them. I had a Dead Parrot and a Blueberry Ale. Both extremely tasty. I highly recommend checking out this place. The ceiling fans were bicycle spokes with taps”

“I am from the Tampa Bay Area, in March 2024 I came to visit my Aunt and Uncle who were vacationing in Venice Beach. We decided to eat pizza and stopped by this cute pizzeria on the strip. We ordered a huge vegetarian pizza…my goodness, I have never had a pizza like this in my life…I am sure I will be taking a 2 hour trip soon to just to get this pizza!!!”

“Lox croissant sandwich was fresh tasting with all the accompanying veggies. And the avocado chicken salad with crisp Romaine lettuce and tomato was equally satisfying. Highly recommend for delicious ”

“I was blown away that a Florida brewery would have such excellent stouts. I had 2 stouts and they were both of them were excellent. The 3 tacos I ate were also very good. Prices are more than fair. Live music was a plus on a Sunday afternoon. Highly recommend.”

“Mixed Review: Our soup & salad was delicious. My tile fish entree was also very tasty. My husband’s dinner was delivered ice cold when served to him. Very disappointing. El Cote also needs a broader & better quality wine selection. Additionally, we ordered dessert, a blueberry torte to share. The crust was so tough we could not even cut it with a knife! Also they asked when we made our reservation if it was a special occasion and we said yes it was our anniversary. I am not sure why they ask because there wasn’t anything offered to us for our anniversary. A complementary glass of wine, a free small appetizer or chocolates candies at the end of dinner. Just a little something that goes a long way with people & makes them want to come back, plus tell others about their wonderful experience.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheel chair accessible unless you eat outside.”

“We enjoy going here. We order tuna, salmon and yellowtail sashimi along with the caterpillar roll. Quality of the food is great. I also get the hot tea. Staff is very nice.”

“The hostess, she said to call her The German, went out of her way to accommodate us and was extraordinarily sweet. Service was very good.Food was very good. We specifically came because my God Daughter wanted Beef Wellington. The dish was cooked well and had great flavor.French Onion soup was very good as well.”

“Greeted promptly at the door very nicely. Shae was great, got me a Gyro meal to go with a fresh ice tea. Meal was hot and delicious. Shae was a great attentive server.”

“We got some nori-rolls to take home. Yum... the sweet potato roll was the best I've ever had! The rolls were freshly made and quality. Will be back for more!”

“THANK YOU!!! ??? I had been getting my Chinese food fix at a different place. Tried your's tonight for the first time. You FILL the entire tray with all my main dish and put rice on the side (not per my request)The *other place, same size tray, puts half main dish / half rice in this same size, essentially giving half main dish food. YOUR'S, I get so much MORE. That's wonderful because I can save some for another meal tomorrow.You're the BEST! Curry is my favorite and now you're my favorite. ❤️”

“Went out for an early meal at the Bonefish Grill in South Venice. We ordered from the Social Hour menu and had the mussels in a delicious sauce along with an order of calamari. The accompanying bread and olive oil, but they gave me what I wanted, some butter! My wife and I had a great time at the bar with the bar staff, Jennifer, Nick and Corey. Great personalities on all of them. They cater to everyone’s needs and have a quick wit that adds to the bar experience. Management, in the name of Michele stopped by to ask how everything was and we responded with a single word, “Excellent!”When in Venice, be sure to stop by for a pleasant afternoon. We will definitely be back, so you may see us at the bar.Parking: No problem parking.”

“Good Itaian restaurant. The food was on point. Service was good and the atmosphere was fine. It's a little pricey for Italian bread, but I do recommend it.”

“Love the food and the amazing service. The older gentleman that owns the place runs a tight ship. He’s always courteous and delivers good value for the money. Plus, they are one of the few Chinese restaurants in town that offers a poo poo platter. If you’re looking for a charming environment to eat in, this is not the place. This is more for people that are looking for quality Chinese food that’s either takeout or delivery.”

“I've picked up to-go and on-site dining. They have 5-6 tables and definitely not a date site but it is what it is...a table to enjoy your food. Food is typical Chinese strip store level, but that's what I was looking for. I'm a fried rice hot-sour soup kind of guy and they do a good job!! If you're looking for PF Changs, this is not it. But if you're looking for above average Chinese food, this is your spot. Family owned and very kind people...more of a reason to support them!!”

“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!!”

“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!”

“One of the best experiences with my catering order, ever. Wes is amazing and such a delight! Wes helped us set up and went over everything I ordered and answered my many questions, well above and beyond service. The food was oustanding, looking forward to ordering again!! Definitely recommend. P.S. please keep that nice, handsome young employee of yours around..they are hard to come by nowadays. Hope many read this and have the same experience we did.”

“If you like true Italian pizza and great food, I highly recommend this small Sicilian family run pizzeria and restaurant. Staff is the family and they are friendly and attentive. Everything is made from scratch on-site and crafted using only ingredients from Italy. Classic Arancini and homemade cannoli is also available among truly fantastic pizzas! Location has the look and feel of a local shop in Sicily. My new go to place in Venice!”

“If you're into a variety of different kinds of omelets, this is your Place ,from lobster to shrimp. Just about anything you can imagine to Put in an omelet. But they also offer a variety of other ingredients. Definitely a place to stop and have breakfast. Very friendly staff definitely recommend this locationParking: We were there during an event, so it is to be expected. To have trouble finding a place to park”

“Incredible food and amazing servers! The last time I went with my son and it was a little mistake with my order but I told the server ni problem, and either way she gave us a discount. The gyro is just amazing. We will be back for sure!”

“This is a great place to eat. The food is great. We have never had a bad meal here. Do they need to mega clean?....yes they do. A little paint wouldn't hurt anything. Nobody can take away the excellent food and the prices are super cheap. We have been going here for 10 years. Great tasting food.Parking: plenty of parking...no worries”

“Had the corned beef frittata and can't stop thinking about it. One of the tastiest things I've ever eaten - even better the 2nd day heated in a microwave. The potatoes are a bit odd but I find myself wanting them again too.”

“Sandwiches were delicious! Honestly the best sub sandwich I've had & beats out the chain restaurants easily. Fresh baked bread is an extra plus!Vegetarian options: Variety of veggies you can put on your sub.Parking: Parking is behind the building, down the alley. Parking is free”

“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 !”

“We were looking for a hot spot for an ice cream treat before heading home for the day. This place was adorable. They had a nice variety of ice cream options to choose from. I had a banana split and it was huge and delicious. They even asked if I wanted any alterations to it. They had toys and games set out to play with as you enjoyed your treat. We'll definitely come back when in the area again.”

“We come at least once a week and are always greeted like we’ve know the staff forever. Haven and Jimbo are great at making a positive work environment. The food is always fresh and amazing.”

“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 .”

“Food was great although I would've expected a little better quality of the salad. Grouper was fantastic. Cocktails were made very very good. I loved everything about the place but a little pricey. Venice area with Miami South Beach prices. Would still recommend a visit. Nice place. Nice people. ?”

“Came here for food an a treat. The only food they have is a hot dog but it's a good one. The different selection of ice cream treats is great, especially the one with the brownie. Nice selection and a step above the rest of the ice cream places. There is no inside seating but there's a covered outdoor seating which is perfectly acceptable.”

“Their fish is great as is their fries, cheese curds, and cheese sauce. They have the best onion rings I’ve ever had. Perfectly golden brown and delicious!Vegetarian options: Cheese Fries, fries, cheese curds, pretzel bites, onion rings, broccoli, mashed potatoes, salads, cole slaw”

“Since I started working right down the street, I have been wanting to give this place a try. Being that Venice historically has been more retirees, I was not expecting great sushi but from other reviews felt that it would be at least okay.First, the food was surprisingly good if a bit small on the portions. I had a bento box lunch, which traditionally includes a california roll (albeit on a smaller scale), shumai or dumpling and possibly a small salad and/or soup in addition to the main protein selected. Unfortunately, the Venetian Bento box was simply 8 pieces of spicy tuna and 3 chef's choice nigiri (in this case salmon, tuna and escolar). Nothing else.I also ordered an order of Ikura (Salmon Roe) which was again on the smallish side but the quality was good, although it did not have the pronounced salty taste I expect. So somewhat disappointing, but still good.What really turned me off, and will give me pause about returning was the lady who took my order. Not terribly friendly, but not rude either... until, I asked for low-sodium soy sauce instead of regular. The soy sauce comes in small container with a lid so they just pour it up in the restaurant... it is not prepacked in any way. When I made this seemingly small request, I saw her roll her eyes and act like I had asked for some huge favor. This after I had left a $5 tip on a $20 ticket.So, if you are looking for decent sushi on Venice Island I would say the food is good and the prices were not terrible. Just be prepared for less than outstanding customer service.”

“Becky and the entire team at King Smoothie operate a clean, professional smoothie shop. They're quick and always deliver a fantastic post-workout smoothie on the go. I've also seen them assist new customers in line, guiding them towards healthy choices based on their preferences and making them feel like part of the family. I highly recommend this spot to locals in Venice, Nokomis, and Englewood!??”

“5 stars all around I was never a fast food guy but I like Culver's great burgers and chicken but the fish sandwich is my favorite nice people working there the building and grounds look clean the drive thru is never a problem even with a line my biggest complaint how about fixing that giant pothole on the backside of the building near the drive thru lane”

“We were visiting the Venice area for the first time, looked up Mexican food and read the reviews for Tomatillas. We visited on 12-1-23 early afternoon and much to our surprise they were very busy. We ate in and our food was excellent! We both had the Junkyard Bowl. What made this place excellent was the staff! We asked if they were the owners because they both were working so hard and fast. They laughed when asked, but shared their names, Krystal and Ryan. We were quite impressed with their high work ethic and how personable they were with us and others who ate in and the drive thru. They made recommendations as we made our choices, put items on the side, Gave us 2 kinds of salsa to try. Basically bent over backwards to please. Try the Corn Salsa! (per his recommendation), I would go back just for that!Vegetarian options: There are all kinds of options”

“My friend and I took a while to know what we wanted and changed our minds a couple of times, but Brittany took it all in stride and was patient and professional. Our food order was correct and tasty.”

“95% of the time this is the best Taco Bell I’ve had. They pay attention to special requests, don’t skip on quality/quantity of the items, and they are fast!Ok, let’s be real, it’s fast food, we know the quality of the ingredients is low despite tasting good, but that’s what fast food is (hope that changes some day!), but as far as the vast disappointment when ordering fast food, this location has the others (Taco Bells and other fast food companies) beat!Bravo to the manager at this location for making sure your employees follow through with doing a good job and providing the customer the closest likeness to what Taco Bell advertises.There must be one shift that’s still learning ropes, occasionally things are no so good, but most of the time, spot on! Thank you!”

“Love Dunkin’ iced caramel coffee light ice and extra cream and sugar,normal get through the drive through and they had this chorizo and egg wrap that was good but then also the sausage egg and cheese croissant is really good also.”

“We usually dine here after church on Sundays or whenever in the area. The manager of this arby's must be hands-on. The employees are always so friendly and helpful. It seems to be run very well.”

“The Panda Express offers quick and delicious Chinese style food. The Orange Chicken is their specialty and it is delicious. The Teriyaki Chicken is always juicy and tender and my personal favorite. There's a drive thru option that makes it easy to get lunch or dinner quickly when visiting the establishment.”

“Best fast food, because it is prepared AFTER you place the order. Some locations need to clean everywhere including rest rooms HOURLY, otherwise things go south quickly! We love Culver's, but this one suggestion needs attention.Parking: sixty, seventy....”

“Saturday night at 8:30 in Marxh. Drive thru line was long. Staff handled it like Champs, professionally, with smiles and an upbeat attitude. We will keep going back!”

“My experience compared to the last time I reviewed this location is way better. They've definitely gotten friendlier at the drive-thru, and the service is a lot quicker. I don't stop here often, but when I have, I haven't had any issues.”

“Seriously, the best mozzarella sticks! And the marinara sauce...Yum!! Just went thru the drive thru and so happy. Hot crunchy cheesy mozzarella sticks! GO GET SOME!!!”

“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.”

“A great vibe. You’ll feel like a local.I like that we don’t wait in a line. It’s a friendly place. Clean, TV’s, parking lot across the street. I love the chicken quesadilla! My husband likes the soup, burger and anything fish… along with the beer. A great night out or a Saturday lunch. ♥️Parking: Parking in front or in free lot across the street.”

“Parise's came onsite to my event and catered. I have not tried a product of theirs that I don't like. They arrived early with a three person team and kept the flow all night. The wedding would not have been the same without Parise's Coffee, soda, and canoli! WHERE YOU GONNA GO?”

“If you’re in the area and wanting some very good birria tacos or have a big appetite come grab one of their burritos!The steak burrito loco was extremely filling and a very large portion size.The birria tacos had a ton of flavor (I’d rate 4/5 just because the tortilla wasn’t crispy enough to our liking).The torta for 12$ was a very good deal. Excellent flavors and the bread was deliciousThe birria noodles are good but it seemed like they used ramen noodles so if you like ramen you’d like this soup.The chicken fajitas were super filling and enough to haveThe Gorditas has a nice crunch to them, would highly recommend them!And of course you just have to have a Jarritos with your meal.”

“Here on vacation. Had delivery. They forgot one of our 2 liters. They brought it back along with another one. The manager/owner who brought it back was so nice and built a great conversation with my kids. Food was excellent!! Highly recommend.”

“I’ve been to this establishment multiple times and have seen them grow through the years. Very honest hardworking people. Get the cheesesteak if you’re looking for a great lunch.”

“Best donuts in Venice! First visit and won’t be last. Staff was patient with me as it so hard to choose. Reminded me of visits with my grandparents back in that day. Looking forward to trying BBQ.”

“AMAZING!!! GREAT staff and awesome food. The tuna, scallop and wahoo sashimi are simply to die for. Foods always fresh and beautifully arranged. Would recommend to any sushi lover!! Wish I could give more stars.”

“Authentic Chicago eats and the best in Venice until Portillos makes it here...still love ya Tony's Chitown Beef. Shout out to Heidi, the best in Venice server as well!!! If you haven't checked it out, you are missing out!!”

“Today was our first visit not realising we were at the closing hour for a little after school treat so we weren't able to experience the atmosphere, but wow were given the greatest options 1 of everything. When told these are croissant like with layers of fluffiness, not a traditional cake or a typical donut...amazing. Thank you so much for treating our girls to something sweet, we will be back for the whole experience including your GF options with coffee.”

“Cool place. They do NOT have food, the waitress said they had popcorn. OK ...not what they show one the website. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the sing a long of a piano bar.”

“Lori, rocky, sill, Nikole and the entire crew are amazing. Started coming here a few months back and this is the one place I know I can go for a relaxed atmosphere, amazing food and the best wings around.”

“When we are looking for a quick lunch and great food, this is one of top choices in Venice FL. We are creatures of habit and have been getting the tuna sub with pickles and cheese and are never disappointed. Highly recommended for that quick meal fix!!! And a portion of the profits support local Public Safety Departments with new life saving equipment - a win/win for great food and community support!!!”

“Best servers ever and you get a lot of great food for not so big of a price. It's a classic small corner restaurant with a great selection. We love this place and especially the waitresses.”

“Loved this café. Definitely operated with quality and care.The ladies running this place are the best. Coffee is great, and the treats are the best.I would definitely recommend checking Flapjacks Cafe out.”

“Second time in a month- different server then the last time still great service, food looked and tasted good. Time of visit is between lunch and dinner so it’s not busy just a couple of tables-Definitely coming back!!!”

“The other Chinese restaurants in the area don’t even compare to the flavors from China Jade. We have tried the others but I will go without Chinese for dinner if China Jade is not open! #1 Chinese food in Venice by far!!!”

“If you're into a variety of different kinds of omelets, this is your Place ,from lobster to shrimp. Just about anything you can imagine to Put in an omelet. But they also offer a variety of other ingredients. Definitely a place to stop and have breakfast. Very friendly staff definitely recommend this locationParking: We were there during an event, so it is to be expected. To have trouble finding a place to park”

“Stopped after a Venice beach day on a whim and so glad we did! Absolutely delishous food and wonderful staff! We will be back, Their breading coating is abs amazing, We tried fried mushroom, shrimp and chicken and wow just amazing! great atmosphere!”

“Since I started working right down the street, I have been wanting to give this place a try. Being that Venice historically has been more retirees, I was not expecting great sushi but from other reviews felt that it would be at least okay.First, the food was surprisingly good if a bit small on the portions. I had a bento box lunch, which traditionally includes a california roll (albeit on a smaller scale), shumai or dumpling and possibly a small salad and/or soup in addition to the main protein selected. Unfortunately, the Venetian Bento box was simply 8 pieces of spicy tuna and 3 chef's choice nigiri (in this case salmon, tuna and escolar). Nothing else.I also ordered an order of Ikura (Salmon Roe) which was again on the smallish side but the quality was good, although it did not have the pronounced salty taste I expect. So somewhat disappointing, but still good.What really turned me off, and will give me pause about returning was the lady who took my order. Not terribly friendly, but not rude either... until, I asked for low-sodium soy sauce instead of regular. The soy sauce comes in small container with a lid so they just pour it up in the restaurant... it is not prepacked in any way. When I made this seemingly small request, I saw her roll her eyes and act like I had asked for some huge favor. This after I had left a $5 tip on a $20 ticket.So, if you are looking for decent sushi on Venice Island I would say the food is good and the prices were not terrible. Just be prepared for less than outstanding customer service.”

“This place has quickly become one of my favorites. The food is always good, I'm a creature of habit and always get the Eggs Benedict. Hearty portions and a coffee mug that's always full. The staff here is always welcoming and kind. Would definitely recommend stopping in for breakfast!”

“Today, 4/18/24, first visit. Adrianna great sever! Ordered the meatloaf plate for lunch. Surprised to see 2 good size pieces of meatloaf, and real mashed with gravey, green beans fresh, not over cooked. Can't wait to go back to taste more plates.”

“Met the best people great little watering home we will be back to visit again from. Glad Naples isn’t to far from this great place!! Highly recommend you go visit open pool is I believe free for a couple of hours on Tuesday don’t hold me to it but whatever day we visited was the day we played free and I do believe it was on a Tuesday?”

“Order ahead if you are short on time. They have a lot to choose from; ready-made home cooked meals and amazing pies. Their cucumber and potato salads are really good!”

“If you like true Italian pizza and great food, I highly recommend this small Sicilian family run pizzeria and restaurant. Staff is the family and they are friendly and attentive. Everything is made from scratch on-site and crafted using only ingredients from Italy. Classic Arancini and homemade cannoli is also available among truly fantastic pizzas! Location has the look and feel of a local shop in Sicily. My new go to place in Venice!”

“We went on a busy day with a wait, but their wait list is really well done and allows you to see estimated time left to wait. The food was really good.Parking: Plenty of parking at the strip mall.”

“Here on vacation. Had delivery. They forgot one of our 2 liters. They brought it back along with another one. The manager/owner who brought it back was so nice and built a great conversation with my kids. Food was excellent!! Highly recommend.”

“We come at least once a week and are always greeted like we’ve know the staff forever. Haven and Jimbo are great at making a positive work environment. The food is always fresh and amazing.”

“Lori, rocky, sill, Nikole and the entire crew are amazing. Started coming here a few months back and this is the one place I know I can go for a relaxed atmosphere, amazing food and the best wings around.”

“Great meal from start to finish! Our waitress, Marina, was very attentive and pleasant. Grilled Cesar salad was fresh and crisp and had just enough char for taste. Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!”

“My husband and I stopped in March the 10th and Evan was our server. That young man had 16 people in line waiting to be served. He remained calm, engaged, and very professional. The service is quick and even though the line was very long this young man handling all these people alone didn't excellent job. Don't know who the owner is but you are quite lucky to have him. And no I am not a family member I am from Indiana visiting the area and was quite impressed with your choice of employees. The young man is going to go somewhere in this life.”

“Travel the Interstate, you're sure to find one or a few of you like! This place is sure to make childhood memories. The waiting room is literally a snapshot of history. The food is typical American breakfast, Njoy! The service of Southern persuasion, only the best!”

“Lori, rocky, sill, Nikole and the entire crew are amazing. Started coming here a few months back and this is the one place I know I can go for a relaxed atmosphere, amazing food and the best wings around.”

“Excellent service, tasty tacos, delicious mock cocktail and fresh chips and salsa. Open floor plan with a comfy bar. 5 stars. We'll be back.Vegetarian options: I ordered the Ophelia and the pickled onions made it pop.”

“Excellent burgers! Perfectly cooked, and tasted amazing! Burger lovers, come here!Parking: There are parking spots in front and on the side of the building.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, many kid friendly items, and a claw machine!”

“Very good spot with an expansive menu of margaritas that goes way beyond the standard well tequila and sour mix. Surprising item is veggie quesadilla, the carne asada and bisteka are well done as are the tacos, burritos etc. My go to is Pollo Zaragoza. Only thing missing in my mind is carnitas. If you go around 630/700 be prepared to wait a bit, but you grab a margarita and sit in the beautiful courtyard.”

“One of the best experiences with my catering order, ever. Wes is amazing and such a delight! Wes helped us set up and went over everything I ordered and answered my many questions, well above and beyond service. The food was oustanding, looking forward to ordering again!! Definitely recommend. P.S. please keep that nice, handsome young employee of yours around..they are hard to come by nowadays. Hope many read this and have the same experience we did.”

“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.”

“Stopped after a Venice beach day on a whim and so glad we did! Absolutely delishous food and wonderful staff! We will be back, Their breading coating is abs amazing, We tried fried mushroom, shrimp and chicken and wow just amazing! great atmosphere!”

“Service was excellent and good happy hour specials. The crab rangoon was tasty. Food was solid nothing over the top. Had a great table next to the water and saw lots of wild life!”

“Snook Haven was recommended by a friend, so we decided to give it a try. This is definitely a hidden location off the beaten path while driving in. We even saw a Bobcat. The restaurant nestled way back in the woods on the Myakka River. What an awesome location , You have 2 options. You can eat inside and be served or order your meal and sit outside by live music, We ordered the cat fish dinner with homemade chips, 2 sides option, and collard greens and a smash cheese burger with home made chips and a side salid , Thay have a homemade tomato relish that is unreal, our server Katie D. Was very friendly and informative. One thing I did notice is the whole staff is working with a smile , definitely a hidden jem a must visit. I forgot to mention. We also ordered the peach cobbler and a monster size brownie.”

“I stopped in for a quick bite to eat & tried the delicious sliced beef & peppers.Wow, the peppers are the real deal & good sliced beef ! My table mates had the Greek salad, which gets a 5 ! Also, they ordered the hamburger & fries and devoured the whole thing !Will definitely stop in again to try some yummy pizza !”

“Outside patio dining with live tunes and very relaxing vibe.They have good food and many options to choose from.Recommend it for afternoon chill or early dinner, but I'm sure anytime of day is just as positive. ??”

“Table of 10 ,the food is always hot and good, the accommodated us from outside to inside. This really was an easy transition thanx to the wonderful staff. Thanxx again and again bogeys, you are awesome.”

“Best fast food, because it is prepared AFTER you place the order. Some locations need to clean everywhere including rest rooms HOURLY, otherwise things go south quickly! We love Culver's, but this one suggestion needs attention.Parking: sixty, seventy....”
