Located right near a public entrance to one of the beaches of Venice, Florida, Pilot House is a…read moregreat spot to get a quick lunch whether you're enjoying the beach or there on business to do a building repair bid. Albeit this visit was for the second purpose, Pilot House seemed like the perfect spot to stop in my cargo pants and work shirt :) I enjoyed a cold brew coffee (gotta have that caffeine for the drive back), bacon cheeseburger and fries. The lettuce & tomato tasted fresh, and they customized the onions away. The cheese was only American cheese and the bacon had a nice crisp, plus I added bbq sauce. Besides pretty solid beachfront burgers, Pilot House doubles as a souvenir shop with Venice FL branded merch such as koozies and sweatshirts when you want to bring gifts for the folks back home. The building itself is pretty cool with its high pitched concrete shell roof (yes I look at those things). Plus, again, it's steps from the beach and next to free city parking.

You get 6 tacos for 5$$$$. Everything is fresh and made to order. You will be so happy you stopped by. Don't judge this place by looks alone. The only down side is this place is cash only. But not a big deal because it is in the same shipping center as aldi and they can give you cash back no problem

Very convenient food stand located right on the beach…read more If you didn't bring a SINGLE snack like us to the beach and skipped breakfast (I know I know, WHO does that?) then you'll literally be the happiest human to know this place exists. We were in the mood for an easy beach day and didn't want to make a million stops and pack all the things. Knowing this place was around made our beach day so easy. Pros: breakfast food is available until 11am, they have all kinds of snacks, drinks, food - from burgers to nachos, quesadillas to grilled cheese. Cons: it's just a fast food spot, nothing super special about the food, the staff is half nice half stand off ish, the in house canned margaritas are just artificial lemonade. What I love the MOST about this place is you can place an order online ahead of time. Even better, you can place an order right from your beach chair and then meet at a specific meet point and they'll deliver it to you. Super cool and convenient especially with the extra long walk to their stand. I genuinely love the home made margarita cans but it would be nice if they actually put some tequila in it. Sadly, you do pay for a cocktail and get an extra light version of it.

Greetings! With me,…read moreyou'll always get what I think is the best of the best, and if I'm lucky, the best of the best of what you would never find on your own unless someone told you to go there. Out-of-the-way places that are unexpected treasures are my favorite places to find myself . For today's review, let me invite you to the unusual yet very ordinary locale that is Siesta Beach Sand Pavilion. First, we start with a word about Siesta Beach. It is an award-winning stop noted for its most define quartz sand in the country, if not the world. Add to a tremendous location Sarasota surrounding environment makes CSO a hotspot for beach, lovers, family, getaways, and people watching extraordinaire. A special note about Siesta Key Beach Drum Circle's that take place here at sunset Sunday nights. The sand pavilion serves up some unexpectedly good comfort foods. The main feature for me that I always plan to have whenever I'm in Sarasota is the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich. Fresh fish, great seasoning made to order perfect every time. The sandwich is served up on a great bun with lettuce, tomato and onion the condiments that you might care for are available at your request. There's nothing vin ordinaire about the sandwich they serve. Honorable mention besides the blackened fish sandwich are the chicken tenders and other great comfort foods. You also have a variety of great cold beer choices, and access to sheltered seating and washrooms to give yourself a well-deserved break from the sun for your time at Siesta Key Beach. The sand Pavilion is staffed by friendly, efficient staff that always seem to add a touch of local charm. The Santa pavilion at Siesta Key Beach is a bit off the beaten path away from the mainland, and can be very crowded about any given time that the weather might be nice enough for a stop at the beach. Take my word, it's worth it every time! Until next time...tk

Our favorite taco stand in Central Florida. The Huaraches with Carnitas of Pork are delicious and…read morethe tacos and Gorditas are excellent. The Gorditas are close to Arepas in taste and texture. The Salsa Verde has a nice bit of heat and compliments the spiced meats and mild, creamy and crumbly Cotija cheese. We've stopped by five or six times over the years even though it's 150 miles from home. We'll be back.

She was more than obliging and they have such cool little old knickknacks, you have to come try out this joint. We have been searching for a legitimate hyper rib joint that isn't killer or my arm with having a scrub dishes for 10 hours afterwards my man who was a professional cook does so fucking well, but we will see what happens and I only heard the best of the best of this place. You guys gotta check this place out and if you don't, you must be on crack.
