Being that Venice Island is my current permanent location for work, I figured it was time to break out of my sushi routine and try some of the other establishments in my walking surroundings. I have heard nothing but good things about Burgundy Square by my co-workers so I figured it was time to pop in and place a to-go order. I walked in, and it was quite busy for 1 p.m, but i will still quickly greeted and approached. The young lady who greeted me, Erica, was polite and friendly, very welcoming. I wanted breakfast but they stop serving it after a certain time so i was forced to make a second choice decision. A variety of daily specials were on the board but none of them wet my appetite. When I went to the back of the menu, I found what i wanted, the Chicken Pesto Sandwich. Erica quickly placed my order and swiped my card. I was worried with how busy it was if i was going to have to wait a bit for my order. My order was out of the kitchen and in my hands in less than 10 minutes. The food was fresh and hot. I quickly found my self a bench to sit and devour my sandwich. The bread was toasted amazingly and the chicken tasted like no other chicken I have ever had before did. The mozzarella and pesto on the sandwich gave it such flavor! The price was worth the quick and speedy deliciousness if you ask me. All food seems to be priced a tad higher on the Island so it is not outrageous. Cooked to order and delicious, this girl will pay the extra to avoid going fast food and having a great lunch. read more

Burgundy Square Cafe - Chicken Pesto Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Venice, Florida

We had a great experience. Food and service were excellent! I had a lobster roll with fries and my husband had a burger and onion rings... all was wonderful. I have sons in Boston and the lobster was as good as those in Boston. read more

This place is pretty large. With indoor and outdoor breezeway seating. We had the lobster rolls for lunch. We had the cold ones. They do not skimp on the lobster! The bread was buttered and nice. I do think the lobster could have used a bit mayo or butter. (I thought more butter and my mom thought more mayo..lol) Overall it was tasty and we for sure will be back for another! The waitress, Tiffany, was very friendly and even though busy, she checked on us often. We took dessert home. A piece of blackout chocolate cake and a piece of lemon blueberry Italian cake. Both were so moist and absolutely delicious! read more

Went there with a men's breakfast group. Outstanding service and food. Our server watched are group and served us accordingly. Experience is worth paying for. Our server was attentive and reactive . Very uncommon in this current environment of kids improperly trained and they still expect a tip. My breakfast BLT was better than me or my wife could put together. The sandwich was so big I took half home. I am going there more often now since most places have higher costs and poorer service. Burgundy Square has the food, the prices, and the service. You won't find a better value anywhere in Venice. read more

Best Lobster roll around! Filled with meat galore. Will not disappoint. Menu has good food to offer But I always get the lobster roll read more

Once again, amazing - food and service. We both had the haddock dinner - one fried, one broiled - both perfect! The clam chowder was chuck full of great "stuff". read more

Food was ok. Service was good. I had the salmon dinner. I would have liked to have steamed rice and broccoli with it but you only get 1 side. The rice had corn in it. ? Caesar salad had shaved Parmesan which I really like. Had a warm lobster roll and French fries which was good. Got a tossed salad which we liked. Restaurant was quiet. We ate at 7 pm. They close at 8 pm. read more

Visiting the area for a day, had a nice walk in the old town Venice neighborhood. This place caught our eye because of its large dining patio that was covered and shaded, unlike the sidewalk tables of the other restaurants with tons of people waking by sitting in the sun. Here we sat in peace! It was crowded and busy on Presidents Day late lunch, but Briana cleared off our table quickly and was an excellent server, as was the young lady from NY, don't know her name. Friendly and efficient service. Our hamburger and grilled chicken sandwiches were fine, the portions were perfect, hit the spot. Would come here again. read more

Love this place! Super friendly staff and the food was excellent! I had the fried shrimp wrap and my husband had the fish and chips - others at the table had breakfast (just made the cutoff) and we all thought it was great! read more

My husband had the boom boom shrimp wrap and I had the pot roast grilled cheese. Both of them were excellent and I would highly recommend. I don't care for fat fries So I would opt for onion rings instead. read more

We are from the north shore of Boston and living in Florida now so we understand that we are not getting clams like at Woodmans or at Kelly's in Revere. But when a friend of mine told me about the big belly clams at Burgundwy, we just had to try!!! Not disappointed! I got the clams for $28 and there were as many or more big belly's than most of my spots back home. Batter was just right, serving size was decent and the steak fries were great! I am a pain in the ass when it comes to cole slaw but will state theirs is not bad. My wife had the haddock and I grabbed a piece. Again, just like home!!!! Can't get drinks other than beer or wine so we had sweet tea!!! Wait staff (owner?) were great!!! We'll definitely be back!!! You should come if you want that real New England big belly fried clam plate!!! read more

I had the Lobster roll and Cole slaw. I loved that the roll was toasted it made the whole experience of the Lobster better! Also the Cole slaw was so fresh. read more

This is not gourmet dinning nor should it be compared to that. It does have Great food, great prices and great choices. The chicken Marsala is unique and ridiculously tasty as well as large. Many argue that they have the best Lobster Roll anywhere in the area. I SORT OF compare Burgundy Square to a North Eastern Dinner when considering the atmosphere but the food is much better than any dinner. If you are a soup person you should be in for a treat. It's hard to go wrong here. read more

Went to Burgundy Square for a Birthday celebration. Both meals came with soup or salad, we both selected - a creamy white chowdah, which was very tasty. But not a real N.E. chowdah as it contained bacon and celery. Food arrived hot and nicely presented. Too full for dessert but it looked wonderful. Service was decent considering she had tables inside and out. Decor is minimal. Had great seats by the window. read more

We LOVED Burgundy Square Cafe. There are a ton of breakfast / lunch cafes in the area. I thought I have tried them all, but was pleasantly surprised to find this place. The vibe is fantastic, especially if you're from the Northeast. Of note, they have a gently themed dining room around all things New England. As an example, they have a Shipyard Brewing sign hanging prominently displayed. If you have been to Maine, you know it. I felt like I was back home. Food was solid and good quality for the area. I will be back! read more

The food, as usual is great. However, the service was horrible. I had to leave my table twice and talk to the matre d. Once to get the server to show up and take our order. The second time was to pay the bill because the waitress was nowhere around. This was the second time this has happened In two years. I won't be going back. read more

Service has really gone downhill here. It took the waiter 15 minutes to do something at the point of sale system. The "hostess " asked the waiter to wait on tables and he basically ignored her The prices have gone up tremendously. I guess you pay for eating "on the island" It took 45 minutes for a salad to come out I do not recommend this place. U read more

Great food. Casual dining. Reasonable prices. Love going there!! Incredible breakfast. read more

Great waiter,but food bad. First off, soup was just warm to cool. Fish and chips bad, more bread than fish. And not many French fries.Waitress was nice though, and left a good tip. read more

Mediocre at best.. we went on a Saturday afternoon during a craft fair. The inside was had a far amount of people but not too bad so we opted for sitting in the breezeway, it did have a nice breeze and foot traffic from Miami Ave to the next block but wasn't too bad. We were surprised to see that they weren't very busy but we waited almost 10 minutes before a very rushed waitress came by. We ordered ice tea when she only wanted to get us water, she seemed shocked we did want water. We order our meals, my wife got the cold lobster roll and I got the salmon (blackened) sandwich. When it did finally come out my meal was hot but completely tasteless. The fish was cooked perfect but there was zero flavor and the grilled brioche roll was just plain GREASY and gross. My wife's lobster roll was tasteless too, we mentioned it to the waitress and the manger came out. When we mentioned our thoughts on the food she suggested the I should have had my salmon blackened, I told her it was, she said "oh". The lobster roll had a weak explanation too. As local residents we'll be hard pressed to return. We do understand it could have been an off day but my observation of the way the staff was moving around in a hectic manner and the place wasn't that busy for a Saturday I knew we should have bailed from the start. read more

Heard about their lobster roll and I had to try it myself! Verdict: It was great. I ordered it hot and portion was generous. I will definitely be returning for more! read more

Breakfast stop for 2 Mimosa's and 2 omelettes. Our server Kristen C did an excellent job. Smiled the entire time, she was visible running from table to table, nice work. The service was excellent and the food was awesome. This is our "go to" breakfast spot (and it is dog friendly). We will refer and return here for sure. read more

The food is good, service was fine. They had some very good sandwiches, but nothing outrageously inventive.

Excellent place to have lunch! Nice ambiance! Service is outstanding! Eat lunch there almost every Monday after a weekly meeting! Several of us go and really enjoy everything about Burgundy Square Cafe! Look forward to it every week! read more

This is our second time eating at Burgundy Square. The first time was probably three years ago. It did not go well so we haven't returned until now. I live in Englewood , Fl and I belong to a local Venice foodie group that many members give rave reviews for this restaurant. So my wife and I gave it another chance. We stopped for breakfast and we both went all out and had the seafood omelet for $14.99 each. The filling had lots of shrimp, cheese, spinach, some pieces of scallops and lobster. My omelet had one piece of lobster. Home fries also came with it. No toast! Anyway, our omelet was not very tasty. Seafood was good but as an omelet goes, tasteless! Nothing to write about. I asked for crispy potatoes and received burnt potatoes. I really was looking forward to going back because of the local reviews are good. I don't think we will be returning. read more

Lobster rolls are to die for. Unfortunately prices went up substantially for the past few years but the good thing is food quality stayed the same. I'm taking one star away for the upkeep. I think the place needs a little spruce up. read more

This eatery is located on Miami ave on the Island of Venice. The Burgundy Square Cafe has a large menu for all three meals of the day and good seating indoors and out! This day we had breakfast and coffee and it was well made and good sized portions. I had the sea food eggs Benedict ( lobster claws, scallops, shrimp) and my wife had the Greek omelet both served with home fries. Very tasty food! Coffee was good but only got one refill...? The wait person could have been more attentive. This may be pettiness but why would a restaurant not put out some quality condiments out on the table? The ketchup was of no name and full of high fructose corn syrup "yuck" and they charge you extra if you use a credit card "wow" not cool.. I've never, ever seen this be done at any other restaurants anywhere. Anyway try them out and hopefully they can make some changes. read more

Great atmosphere. Sat in breezeway. Ordered grilled cheese pot roast. It's a home run.

An excellent omelette I stopped in on this quiet Saturday morning not long after they opened. My server was right there providing coffee. Instead of even starting on the menu, I simply asked her what was the most popular item. My server listed a few things from benedicts to omelettes. She pointed out a couple of very popular omelettes and I decided on the Memphis one. What an excellent recommendation and choice. My omelette arrived after only a few minutes. It contained bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and cheese. Practically every bite I took included bacon, and this was really good bacon. It was a large serving too. The omelette came with potatoes and they were cooked with onions and seasoned. I confess for home fries I often end up using ketchup and salt after I've had a good taste of what was served, so I could describe it on Yelp. Not this time, I liked this enough I didn't want to drown the flavor. They have seating both inside and in a breezeway. The restaurant is located one block south of historic Venice Ave on Miami Ave. Even being slightly off the beaten path I know they can get quite busy. For kids that play Pokemon there is a reachable Pokestop, so you can spin out your potions and balls while enjoying your food. Service was spot on, my coffee was topped off several times, my check handled promptly. read more

Never a long wait to be seated. Staff friendly and food great! Pot roast grilled cheese is a must try!

Been hearing some really good things about this place since moving here awhile back. Stopped for a late lunch and have to say, will definitely be making this a regular stop. I had the Pot Roast Grilled Cheese Sandwich. The pot roast was cook and seasoned to perfection. Not overdone and stringy like usual pot roasts. The cheese was plentiful and melted but NOT oozing over the sides which could make the sandwich soggy. Wife had the Asian Crispy Chicken Salad. The chicken was a little overdone but the salad was fresh and the dressing was reminiscent of the classic from Chin Chin's in Los Angeles. My friend had the Pot Roast Sandwich (open faced) with gravy fries. The pot roast was pilled high and the gravy was savory and smooth. The next table over someone ordered the Carrot Cake and the piece was huge! A couple of them shared it and talked about how tasty and moist it was. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, will be make more stops for a casual meal. Thanks. read more

Amazing seafood omelets and lobster rolls! Pet friendly as well and the service is also very good.

Hi, went to Burgundy Square today because I was downtown doing the art festival! I had not been there in a long time and knew before it was not one of my favorites. I ordered the Asian chicken salad. The salad I will say was fresh and served promptly! it was chicken, lettuce, carrots, cabbage, almonds, rice noodles, and dressing on the menu. When it came, it was a bowl of iceberg lettuce, with a few carrots, a few pieces of red cabbage, a few slivers of almonds and a few rice noodles. The chicken was fine. It was grilled as I I requested! The reason I only gave the restaurant A3 was because the salad was mostly all lettuce. It had maybe an eighth of a cup of fixings on top of it with the chicken. Not other items that are added to the salad other than the chicken are expensive, so I'm not sure what is supposed to make it Asian other than the dressing that they gave For $15 I was disappointed. Will not be back. Fortunately, I know how to cook and this is not how you fix a really good salad. But fortunately, there are other many great restaurants here to have to settle for mediocre. read more
