Fish fry. Off the hook! We had a 40 minute or so wait on the patio but it wasn't so bad for a Friday night. It started to rain so everyone moved to huddle under the tiki hut roof and the outdoor bar was serving reasonably priced beers and cold drinks. Inside it's very small and the tables and booths are simple. A very casual place. The service is excellent. The menu had a good variety of meals from hotdogs to entree salads and lots of fish frys. I enjoyed the fish and shrimp combo with 5 huge beer battered shrimp, 3 pieces of beer battered fish, a cup of cole slaw, and a baked potato with sour cream and butter. The cole slaw wasn't my favorite but the potato and shrimp disappeared, and I could only eat one piece of fish and I was stuffed! So delicious!!!! I would absolutely come back again!!! read more

Big portions but if you aren't here for the fish and shrimp and onion rings...don't bother. Great fish and chips, great coconut shrimp, great gulf shrimp in garlic and butter, horrible burgers and blackened grouper had no flavor. read more

It's a cool hole in the wall place with extra large servings of everything. I had the battered shrimp basket they were hot and juicy just taken out of the fryer. read more

Cafe 776 - Seafood Near Me - Englewood, Florida

Think Old Florida. Plastic tablecloths. Garish fish decor. Friendly but casual service. Only about 10 tables that serve food, but a large bar area. And excellent, reasonably priced food. Two of us got fish - truly outstanding. One got clam strips - good but not best ever. Fries are very very good. Liked it so much tried to go back next day, but it wasn't open. (On a Monday). Will def return before we head home. read more

This little place is a gem, one of my favorite spots. It's small and nothing fancy, but of all the restaurants I have sampled in the North Port/Englewood/Venice/Port Charlotte area, their fish and chips is heads above the rest. It's the best battered and fried cod I've ever had. And that's not all. Their cheeseburgers are not only huge, they are delicious! On my most recent visit, I had the fish and shrimp combo and the jumbo shrimp was also fantastic. I've been a snowbird here for 5 years and I always look forward to eating at Cafe 776! read more

Walked into this dusty place and instantly regretted it. Asked to sit outside but the server rudely responded with, "we don't serve outside". At that point I wanted to walk out but my fiance said give it a chance. As we looked at the overpriced menu I glanced around to see the accumulation of dust and spider webs throughout the restaurant. I checked out the kitchen and it was no better. I was so disgusted with the filthiness of this place that we finally stood up and walked out. We went to Zeke's right down the road and got a great server, clean restaurant, and amazing food. read more

We had clam strips and seafood bisque as carry out. Food was good and carry out staff was friendly and welcoming.

Wow! The BEST & Freshest seafood and burgers. When you've had the BEST- why try the rest? LOVE the clam strip basket with cole slaw and fries. A bang for your buck with HUGE portions!! Something for everybody on the menu whether it be fresh or fried. Every time we try a different place on the Gulf Beaches, Venice, Sarasota, Port Charlotte, etc. We REGRET not coming to Cafe 776. Love they do take out. Glad they opened a sister restaurant on Placida Road! read more

5 stars for the Grouper Sandwich! 2 for ambiance. 4 for radio station. 0 for outside dining (none) 3 for price, service. Small hole in the wall on 776. Has an outdoor patio facing the street, drinks only. Very casual. Bare bones local eatery with great seafood. (...don't tell the tourists) read more

We got the cod fish and chips to go. The portion sizes are huge so we probably would have been fine splitting one meal and getting some greens as a side. read more

This is the best fish I have ever had in my life, except the Rust Olde Dinner Bell, which has been out of business for 25 years. The food at 776 is superb. Portions are generous and always exceeds my expectations in quality and taste. My favorite restaurant in all of Florida. read more

Largest and absolutely beat fish sandwich I've ever had! Two extra large fillets Ina massive bun. You will not want more! Atmosphere is a typical small Florida cafe. Very open air. Great place read more

Big helpings of beer battered seafood. The food wasn't outstanding, but good enough, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. I can see why this place is popular with the older crowd. Nothing exciting, but not bad either. read more

First visit. We started with a cup of Seafood Bisque....finely chopped contents and a cup of NE Clam Chowder. Both were good but not great. I ordered the appetizer portion of Coconut Shrimp. There were 5 very large shrimp. The coating was thicker than I like...very crunchy. Also ordered was Fried Scallops, nicely fried along with fried and cole slaw with a light dressing. No TV to deal with. Can have conversation with table mates. Not relaxing as there is a lot of street noise. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat every time we visit! I love the fish and chips!! Huge portions! Don't let the location sway you! Excellent!! read more

Cafe 776 - This is a to go order on our own plate. It is only a portion of the meal. Yum!! - Seafood Near Me - Englewood, Florida

Great Burger! Big Burger! Bacon was so perfect and crisp! Fried shrimp were scrumptious! read more

Cafe 776 - Big Burger! Thumb for perspective. - Seafood Near Me - Englewood, Florida

Food was great!! Love the fish and chips and burgers! The guy that was the host was so friendly, I think his name was Rich!! I highly recommend this place but be patient it gets super busy!! read more

Cafe 776 - Rich at work!! - Seafood Near Me - Englewood, Florida

Visited friends in Englewood and they suggested this cafe for a good local place. It was good and it was local. Big portions, I had Shrimp and Chips, the breading was light and the shrimp were huge. Great prices, nice atmosphere. read more

Went for lunch April 23 Tuesday but closed. Sign posted said the restaurant will be closed at least two weeks due to tragedy. read more

Go hungry! That's the best advice I can give. A real hole in the wall so don't expect anything fancy. The fried fish and shrimp are dome perfect. Extra large portions on all the dishes. read more

Great place - it's casual! Great fish & chips, the burger is as big as they say and only lacking craft beers to make this a five star review. Small place inside, but it turns over pretty quickly and if the weathers nice there's a patio / tiki bar attached read more

Food was okay. Grouper was ok. Coconut shrimp was decent. Fries were very stale and soggy (that's what I get for ordering to go fries I guess). read more

Doesn't look like much when you drive by but they give you plenty of food and it's a really good price too

Got the fish and chips with fried scallops. No flavor.. just a pile of greasy food! Service is subpar... the few tables they have are all slanted and super uncomfortable! I would say if you have to eat the food here.. be sure to get it to-go. And get the toilet paper ready. Better yet.. just avoid this dive bar/restaurant. read more

No such thing as portion control here folks! HUGE fish sandwiches, HUGE burgers, and waaaaaaay good. Check it out if you like non-chain places with personality. You'll be amazed with the fish sandwich. read more

Greasy food made me not so thrilled. I had the fishermans platter and added onion rings. The lady was really nice. The burger is huge and was very good. The fried variety of scallops, oysters, shrimp and fish made me feel pretty sick. The breeding was terrible. Same with the onion rings. I would do the burger again. The Ruben was not hit it was like cold ham. I would not go again. read more

The staff here is friendly and it's a very pleasant atmosphere. It's casual and clean. To say the the portions are large is a massive understatement. I could only eat about 25% of my burger....it had to weigh at least a pound. See our pics! And ohhhh, the fish platters are HUGE! The food is very high quality and the prices are amazing. This is our new favorite place to grab a quick meal and particularly to get fish. Since moving to Florida we've been looking for a good place to find seafood, and I guarantee you this is it. I love this place! read more

Large portions, some of which are actually good. Meals are cooked to order. We loved the teriyaki shrimp salad but wouldn't order the grouper again, especially in the fried version. The fish was not completely deboned, didn't have true grouper flavor, and the batter it was deep fried in left our mouths feeling greasy for several hours afterward. Not a pleasant experience. The interior of this cafe feels very old, run down and not particularly clean. Wait staff, however, is attentive and friendly. And prices are in the moderate $$ range. read more

Hadn't been there in 15 yrs because quality had dropped so drastically. Heard the place was under new owner management and decided to try them again. So glad we did! Grouper blackened sandwich was huge and delicious at a fair price. Two in our party had the Clam Chowder and raved about it being very tasty although it had a "sweet" tang not usually associated with New England Chowder. The waitress suggested we top off a great meal with Root Beer Floats! Hadn't had a float in years and it hit the spot! The 776 is Back!!! read more

This is a funky little place: a tiny restaurant with a dive vibe. The place was packed and we had a bit of a wait, but it was actually pleasant to wait with a beer on a patio. Once we were seated our server was an absolute sweetheart! The decor inside is pretty campy and feels like you are in an old garage? The food was actually the most surprising thing: excellent, giant portions (of giant seafood) and very fresh. We had huge fried shrimp, fried scallops, seafood kabobs ( grilled) and the biggest burger I have ever seen. There was enough food for 8 (we were a party of 4). Overall a very good experience and we plan to return. Give this place a try, you will love it! read more

Great food. Wasn't sure what to expect but saw the food pictures and heard mostly good comments. So glad we went. The hamburger was so huge I should have only eaten half but couldn't' help myself. It reminded me of the old fashioned juicy hamburger. My only regret is that I didn't leave room for the delicious fries. My husband had the fried shrimp and swears it was never frozen and they melted in his mouth. talked about them for days. We will be making this a regular stop on restaurant roundabout. The place is small inside but has a really nice sized outdoor seating area under a tiki style canopy. the prices vary but there is plenty to chose from under $10 per person if you want. read more

We have been here a couple of times once with 5 friends and no one has had a complaint. It is not the Ritz, just good gulf coast food at decent prices. I am planning on going back tomorrow and was just checking to make sure they were not on vacation shutdown. I live in Port Charlotte so it is a little drive for me but it is a must visit every few weeks. read more

Best fish in all of Florida. Great grilled or blacken cod, with great slaw. Staff very friendly and easy to work with in all aspects.

Cafe 776 in my opinion, as I am the crazy ass person writing, is the one reason to come to Englewood. This place is beyond special. I was a lonely woman working out of town and strolled in here one Friday night. I tried to go every Friday night after that. The food is outdamnstanding! The portions sizes are insane for the freshest fish you will ever have. These people were good to me and I will forever be grateful. read more

While the food is good with large portions, the restaurant is filty, you cannot tell the original color of the carpet because of dirt.

Visiting from CA and was taken here for dinner - had the coconut shirmp and they were huge, tasty and had a killer citrus dipping sauce. My mom had the fish and shrimp basket and it was delicious too. You definately won't go away hungry at this place. I would highly recommend it for fresh seafood! read more

Ate there this evening. Very good fish and chips. Our server, Kay, was extreme friendly and helpful. The only thing I was disappointed about, is that they don't have margaritas. They only have a license for beer and wine. Will go back! read more

Huge portions. Decent food. Patio not open yet as they do not have a licence to serve food outdoors yet.

My family has been getting grouper sandwiches from Cafe 776 for years. Last year, I went in to order a grouper sandwich and the waitress advised me that it was not grouper, that they hadn't been using grouper for a few years. The fish sandwich I got was fine, but it is still misleading to have a grouper sandwich on the menu when it is, in fact, NOT grouper. read more

Their burgers are HUGE, juicy & unforgettable. I think they'll comp your meal if you order the double cheeseburger & finish the whole thing in one sitting.. I've never seen anyone do it. read more
