I ate here with my grandparents and loved it! very fresh seafood!

Absolute hole-in-the-wall dump which remains in business because the food is so good. Service isn't bad and quantities are large--we always order the "baskets" and take home a "doggie box". I like the battered fish or chicken and chips and my wife loves the clam strips and chips. Most of the entrees are between $9 and $17--check their menu at their website. read more

This place has great food and great prices. It's such an enormous amount of food. I usually get the burger and fries. I eat the fries and take the burger home. Enough for two meals! So casual you can stop in on the way home from the beach. Would recommend! read more

Don't be fooled by the cute exterior. Inside is so small you can almost reach out and nibble at the food on the table next to you. Food is ok, nothing special. Much better choices in the area such a as Zekes or Mamas. I know it got some good reviews for food and perhaps I ordered the wrong thing but it really is not worth the wait. My wife and I have eaten at almost every restaurant in this area and this is definitely not in the top ten. You can do so much better. read more

My only complaint is the price for the quality of food - there was nothing special about the food here. I could go to any other regular restaurant that has basic seafood on their menu and probably spend $20 to $30 less than what we spent here. Otherwise, the atmosphere was cute. The seafood was decent - fried cod was nice and greasy, shrimp was fried perfectly. They give you a ton of fries. Had to steal a couple of bites of my daughter's chicken fingers and those were really good. I wouldn't go back though... too expensive. read more

Dive! Although the food is good, the service is aweful. The staff (all of them) act as if they are doing you a favor by serving you. We sat down just prior to prime dinner hours when there were still multiple open tables. We ordered drinks and food at the same time, and yet we watched as virtually every table in the restaurant was served food before us (including those who sat down well after us). We inquired multiple times as to the wait and we were dismissed each time with "your order is in" and "we have alot of tables." We stood up to walk out after nearly an hour, only to have 1 of 7 meals miraculously ready. Over the following 8 minutes we got all of our food. The host came over and argued with us about why we should understand their difficulty in dealing with so many orders, our waitress apologized once, after we waited all that time, and the other waitress made rude comments under her breath as we complained about the ridiculous wait. The only reason I give Cafe 776 2 stars is that we did get to eat and it was palatable. But if you're going out to spend money someplace... Go elsewhere. read more

Tried Cafe 776 for the first time on a return visit to Placeda. First off great service. Our server was friendly, accommodating and attentive despite all tables being filled. Next, the food was great and the portions huge. Great little place and definitely worth a return visit. read more

What a great time! We had 4 fish n chips, 2 shrimp baskets, and a bacon cheese burger the size of my head packet up and ready to go, they had a whole box if all the fixings all set for us and we had a beer while we waited at the tiki bar. The bar back was super friendly and the chow was delicious! read more

What a great fish place, amazing fish and chips. Great portions and prices. Very Casual. read more

great fish, and shrimp . been there a couple times and will go back soon. Clam chowder was great full of stuff

I believe Captain Jack & Catfish Charlie both would love the menu, the service & the price!

Great little hidden gem. Don't let the lack of curb appeal deter you. Not much outside or inside presence, but you need to stop here. Big servings, always great and with great service. Order the deep fried mushrooms, won't be disappointed. read more

After spending the day at the beach with our kids, we found this place about 25 minutes down the road. If you have a party of six or more, be prepared to wait. The dining area inside is very small but absolutely worth the wait if you can get in. The outdoor area is not available for dining, only for drinks. The food was great and the portions were huge. Would absolutely come back again read more

Cafe 776 - Lane wanted the cod sandwich for dinner. - Seafood Near Me - Englewood, Florida

Well the secret is out!!! Darn, didn't want everybody to find out about this great little place!! The grouper sandwich is enough for 2 and was perfect. My hubby loves the shrimp, my friend had a stuffed grouper dinner that was excellent! Service is fast, we love the coleslaw and servers are very friendly. Go, but keep it to yourself!!! read more

The fish and chips platter is always excellent. Enough to have two meals. Authentic fish not the Basa that even some of the more expensive places use now. The hamburger is the size of my hand. Love this place. read more

Love the fish n chips, crispy and delicious, with healthy portions! ( we share a plate). Reasonable prices. The blackened shrimp and grouper are good too. This is a regular stop for us. read more

Ate here for the first time tonight. Service is fantastic. Decor is not fancy but is Florida of old. Will definitely return. Portions are big and cost is reasonable. read more

Previous reviews confuse me. Visited on Saturday 12-10 after reading reviews. The postings cannot be valid. This restaurant is a total health hazard to mankind. The floor, tables, chairs are filthy and the employees all seem on edge. Yes, the food was OK at best but the silverware and dishware was filthy. Sarasota officials need to inspect this facility and perhaps issue an injunction to discontinue food service. read more

2nd time in two years we have eaten here. Wait staff remains unfriendly. Place is cold. Decor is dated gives the appearance of not clean although don't know that it isn't. Wanted to try the whitefish but was more than I preferred to spend for lunch at $11.99. Condiment containers had crusty mustard and catsup on lids. Cod fish basket was good and hot as was the burger. read more

As long as you don't expect fancy setting, Cafe 776 is the bomb! Excellent excellent food, great prices, large portions, great staff, you can't go wrong here if you like great food. We love their onnion rings, and always order seafood, although I am told their burgers are great. Friend had fish tacos and he said one filled him up although the plate had 3! We go there often as we are snowbirds... :)) Brian read more

Food was great. Prices what you would expect. My suggestion for this business, take your cook staff, recipes, and move. Place is tiny and in dire need of a good cleaning. Tables are set on a slanted floor that was apparently some sort of ramp originally. Serving staff was slow. I don't feel they were understaffed, just very slow. Waited for the bill for at least 10 mins. With at least 20 people waiting for a table, they could easily do more business with an energetic serving staff. I'll definitely go back, but for carry out only. read more

This is the definition of a hole in the wall. Nothing fancy but great seafood. I had the ultimate seafood combo with 4 jumbo shrimp, 4 large scallops and 2 huge pieces of cod along with fries and cole slaw. It was delicious. My wife had seafood kebabs which come with ahi tuna,scallops and shrimp blackened. My wife isn't into rare foods so the server suggested that she could substitute more shrimp and scallops in place of the tuna. Worked out great. We both left stuffed and happy. Staff was friendly. If you're looking for great seafood and don't care about ambiance, this is the place. Already looking forward to going back for more. read more

Not so much. Tired strip mall joint...pretty run down. Food is just OK....large portions. If you want blackened Tuna...stress very strongly that you don't want it cooked through...I did and it still was overcooked. Did not have rice? There have to be better choices in the area. read more

We ate at Cafe 776 this evening. The food was awesome. The portions were huge. The best part was the staff. Our waitress was amazing. So attentive and friendly. I do not remember her name, but she called my husband the "chicken man", so from the chicken man and his family, get down to 776. They are awesome. read more

Amazing food and great service!!!! A must try. The portions are HUGE. Cute little local time place.

Enjoyed the grouper sandwich. Everyone loved their meals ordered the clam strip appetizers but we're a tad dark which we are blaming on the late time of our arrival. Will be back. read more

We never eat in because its always too crowded and noisy. But we get carry outs of the fried and grilled cod - king size, which is enough for two. Great food. read more

Our experience would have been better if I didn't have to witness the waitresses downing Jell-O shots would they were supposed to be waiting on customers. read more

Come early or late...they are busy most of the time. Nice waiting area outside where you can have a drink and peruse the menu. The servings for the cod and grouper could easily serve two and might be worth paying the extra $2 for an extra plate. Scallops very tastey as well as the oysters. Large delicious hamburgers. Again, the servings are huge and priced nicely. read more

best burgers in the area. make sure to have a big appetite ready when you go here. priced very reasonably and doesn't have that "tourist trap" feel. definitely get your moneys worth. It is a hole in the wall but worth trying for sure. read more
