Local restaurant situated in Sarasota's Rosemary district. The place has a chill and hip vibe. Monday nights are awesome. They have a cheese burger and fries deal for $7. You literally can't beat it. Service was great. We could sit and talk and didn't feel rushed. I got a double cheese burger which was excellent. They also have specials on drinks too. read more

Food was good and service was fast. The happy hour margaritas were also really good. There isn't a parking lot but you can find street parking around. Everyone was really nice. The fries are a little weird but evert thing else was good. We went to another location before and felt like their menu was larger but it might have been the time of the day read more

Very good chicken Caesar wrap from this establishment for nine dollars which is one of their lunch specials. I stopped in on a Thursday, wings are eighty nine cents on Thursdays. I went with five hot honey Nashville and five golden bbq fried crispy. The wings were like that, very tasty. I sat at the bar and received excellent service. The ambiance is cool, the area looks dope and revamping. There are plenty of TV's for sports goers also. I walked here so I don't recall what the parking situation is. I saw a lot more options on the menu I would like to try in the future. read more

Loved this place! On Monday cheeseburgers and fries for $6.99? Are you kidding? Great deal and great food in a cool casual spot. These places do still exist in Sarasota! Server was excellent and we really had a great time. Will be back. read more

I wish I had taken a picture, but I just had the best Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich here that I've ever had in my life (and I travel to Nashville several times a year). I added coleslaw as a side and then added it to the sandwich- it was awesome. I eat here often and always overly impressed with the quality of the food and the quality of their drinks. Also, the wait staff are terrific. Nice and very attentive. read more

Food was great as usual. We ordered from the seasonal menu. Beef & Broccoli burrito and curry squash soup. We also had the Brussel sprouts with bacon on appetizer menu. Usually everything here is amazing and the food was. However, how do you serve soup without crackers or even a piece of bread. I asked and was told I could get some garlic bread. They had nothing else to offer. Hmmmmm Back to the food, it was really good. F+B offers a nice menu. Ambience was crazy due to trivia night. We didn't know. It was nice and calm and quiet when we arrive. It got so loud within minutes of our food arriving! We love F+B but admit we were a little disappointed tonight. read more

The food was OK. The food didn't really look anything like the menu which is to be expected, but the cheese for the giant pretzel was a globby chunk. The buffalo cauliflower was really good. The service was fine. The layout is really nice, but I was a bit concerned. A piece of wood from the ceiling was about to fall on the bartender. read more

The food here is super good! Loved the jalapeño burger it was so delicious. I didn't love the big blob of jalapeño jam blob but it was better when I spread it on the bread. The fries are delicious but the large is not really big enough to share with 4. The sweet potato tots are disgusting. Also, the service here leaves much to be desired. read more

Good food and great service! Best all you can drink mimosa bar on Sunday! I highly recommend them to anyone !

December 10, 2023 - Three for dinner: So start with my biggest peeve in Sarasota - parking. Either availability or COST!!! There was plenty of street parking and it was FREE!!! (smile) 10/10 The place was not too busy as it was raining and folks stayed home I guess on this Sunday night in December. Our server was very pleasant and fairly attentive. She sort of hung back in the kitchen and we did need to have others retrieve her. NOT a big deal, we were not in a hurry and she was not going back and forth with a bunch of tables, so I get it. But maybe they should 'buzz' the active tables every 5 minutes anyway? We got some very basic 'bowls'. My daughter the Burrito Bowl that she said was good and she would order again. she said a fairly authentic burrito without the tortilla. the chicken was fairly flavorless and stingy per her and she was not a fan of the cheese. 7/10 My wife had gotten a Greek Life bowl (salmon and etc) from the Venice location and she REALLY liked it. She opted to try something different and got the Korean Beef Bowl (a Bibimbap affair) with kimchi and sticky rice and a sunny side up egg. quick comment the sunny side up egg could have used about 10 more seconds as the top was still very snotty and whites were actually raw around the yolk edge, although the griddle must have been very hot as the "bottom" was blackened and had the fried oil halo of death and grease potholes of char. (picture on the site) The rest of the dish was pretty good. The marinated beef was sorta tangy off tasting possibly a spice or sauce flavor and the chimchi a bit too heavy of a "fishy" flavor. (yes fish sauce in kimchi but this was leaning towards "bait") My wife would order the Greek Life bowl if we went back. 7/10 The menu (and even the components of the other entrees) left VERY little for me to build or edit out to make a whole food plant based, healthy, or vegan-ish selection. There was a single "Vegan" entry called the Vegan Bun Cha. Its based what has been regarded as not the best highly processed foodstuff, but I know what it is and I am not eating much of it.......and it was the only option. (personally I would have preferred a bean 'meatball" or even a bean burger on the menu and not an Impossible or Beyond burger faux meat substitute. The bowl had pickled vegetables, cucumbers, carrots, peanuts, onion and sticky rice on the bottom. I think there was some cabbage possibly. The accompaniment (medley) of veggies was pretty good. The "peanut" glazed meatballs (5 quarter sized) were very sugary, had a bit of spice (that was fine by me) and the cooked glaze was almost charred/burnt and gritty. They were more of a garnish than the main. Was not a fan even with my own preconceived feelings about impossible meat. Not sure what I would order if we go back?? 5/10 This a a nice neighborhood bar feel spot with lots of TV and sports going on. We were not going to "dine" we were just looking to grab a bite and "eat". My wife had one drink on special with well liquor and it was reasonably priced and good. Nice spot, good service, easy to pop in and park or walk there from the surrounding area!!! ~ Thomas ~ read more

The winter menu is definitely worth checking out. The ambience is great. Good sports bar in Sarasota. Madisyn is great also, very attentive. Service was phenomenal. The owner even came by and checked on us I loved the consideration. Make sure to try it their nachos and also their crab Rangoon shouldn't just be on the winter menu. They should put it on year-round. read more

I hope you're doing well. I'm a regular customer at Food and Beer and have had great experiences at multiple locations. The food, drinks, and atmosphere always make for a great time! That said, I've noticed that the same music playlist is played on repeat at every location. While I enjoy good background music, hearing the same songs every visit starts to take away from the experience. I've even overheard staff expressing frustration with the repetitive playlist, which I imagine could impact their energy throughout their shifts. I wanted to share this as constructive feedback because a refreshed or rotating playlist could make a noticeable difference in keeping the atmosphere exciting and enjoyable for both guests and employees. Variety in music can help set the mood and enhance the unique vibe that makes Food and Beer such a great place to visit. I appreciate your time and consideration, and I look forward to my next visit! read more

Price was not right. I wish I took a picture of what I got in my delivery order. It was kind of sad. My burger looked a hockey puck that someone had taken a bite of. Literally. I feel swindled. For 11$ a burger that doesn't come with fries? No. I did order fries as an extra side item. The fries were yummy, kinda oily but well seasoned. The jalapeño ranch was bomb. The service was fine. And I know nothing of the ambiance. But I do know they probably used google stock images to market their food. Might try this place in person at some point but I highly recommend not getting delivery. Ever. read more

I ordered my dinner through the toast online and one of my items was there popular red velvet fried oreos. Which they were currently out of but the system didn't update quick enough to my order. And once I got in there, they had already tried fixing it by putting another replacement dessert. But unfortunately, it was a flavor my kids are picky on so the manager was very kind and gave me a few options to fix the situation.And in the end we were both pleased.I greatly appreciate the kind service.You don't get that much anymore. I myself am in the industry downtown and it makes a world of difference just being nice. So thank you Owen we will be back! read more

I ordered food right before cut off time(not something I usually do cause poor quality of most other restaurants) but I was starving and they pulled through, it was delicious and tasted very fresh, 10/10 kitchen staff for getting me right(they should all get raises), bartender was very nice and quick! read more

Having been to the other locations this is a great addition to the Rosemary District. Being brand new there was no wait for Sunday brunch this week which was a pleasant surprise. Definitely going to comeback for lunch or dinner read more

This use to be the blue rooster which we loved so it was a little bitter sweet to rerun to a new restaurant with such a common name. Well it turned our opinion around with the remodeling they conducted. We sat at a booth which was high with lots of space(I'm a big guy) the bar looks great with lots of TVs around the restaurant. It's clean and vibrant. The server Selena was more than engaging. She listens to the conversation and provided great insight to what it's like in this new environment. At same time she insured we were not rushed and served our order so we could make the west coast theater in time! The hammers were excellent and the "That's Hot" margarita was excellent. Sweet photo to tots were crispy and just enough for everyone to have a few. The prices all around were very reasonable which in Sarasota you can't say any more. Look forward to trying it for lunch soon. read more

We've been coming here for a long time. We drive 30 minutes because we specifically like this location. Got here at 220 for unlimited mimosas and was told that they stop mimosas around that time even though it says 3. That is false advertising and we waisted our time. Won't be coming back until they stop pinching penny's. Stick to what you advertise. read more

Server was excellent. Food was great - one of the few places where I can get a vegan meal. My husband had a fabulous burger and we needed to get out in a timely fashion to go see a show and the server goddess out just in the amount of time we requested. We were also very impressed because the manager walks through and checks on things several different times. Great, fun place. read more

I recommend Food + Beer on Tuesdays to all my friends who visit from out of town or new to the neighborhood. I live just 5 min away from this location and will NOT be hanging out past 9:59pm on Tuesdays now, and I will advise my crew, and the multitude of people who visit me, to leave the premises as soon as the mic switches on. The Open Mic Night was advertised on the front door as "not appropriate for minors" but it is really not appropriate for anyone. At any time. In any location,. I was with my 6 friends (2Male Identifying, 4Female Identifying, ages 29-55) at a table in the middle of a fun conversation when we were blasted right out of our booth. It was the lowest common denominator, absolutely the most sexist, homophobic, racist, antisemitic, repugnant set I have ever been forced to hear. Man after man, with phrases like "Jewish Tunnels in New York," "Finding Anne Frank's body a second time." "Prostitutes want $150 for a blowjob." "Gay Hybrid drivers..." and these are the least offensive snippets, the rest, which is too upsetting towards women to put in this yelp review, I won't list. At an open mic with music, you expect to see an intermediate level guitarist who can play a standard 12-bar blues, or at least have a chord progression practiced enough to present to an audience. An amateur poet who has at one time READ poetry. A freestyle rapper with some experience freestyle rapping. These open mic "performers" demonstrated the only qualification to perform at Food + Beer was to hold a microphone, be a registered vertebrate and breathe mouth sounds resembling English for several painful minutes, then hand the microphone back to the host without further devolving from a cro-magnon. I was incredibly disappointed that an establishment that I generally enjoy bringing my friends and family to (including my wife and my mother) would accept hosting such egregious garbage. 2 Stars, the Food and Beer still taste great read more

Burger was fantastic!! Great happy hour! Birria tacos are really good. I personally would like less onion in the Birria taco or more finely chopped onion and add more cilantro!! Yum!! Service wonderful! Our waitress was great! read more

Service was good, we sat in the bar area and enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server forgot to put our order in, and was very apologetic. We really appreciated her honesty, so the tacos were comped which was very professional. "Taco Tuesday" I will call it, was good especially the cheeseburger taco. read more

Needed a quick dinner and didn't want a stuffy restaurant. We had been in Sarasota for the week and had eaten more seafood that allowed by law. Food+Beer was just what we needed. We were very surprised that it was easy to get a table and even more surprised that the Food was great. Service was friendly and attentive. Lots of tvs to watch as March madness was in full swing. read more

I live in Manhattan, NYC. I'm an actor doing a show here at Florida Studio Theatre. A friend of mine who is in the bar/ food industry (here in Sarasota), brought me here one night. The food is SO good. I'm in love with the Mozzarella Sticks (made in the likes of Crab Rangoon), and the Malibu Barbie wrap (chicken, avocado, pico, etc). Anyway, the food is great! Awesome vibe. Love the loungy upstairs area. Great managers and staff. They've treated myself and my cast of "Little Shop of Horrors", very well. Also... they have a late night kitchen! Unheard of in Sarasota, Lol! Special shout outs to Abrielle and Jackie Lovo. I'm missing so many other names. The real point is... go. read more
