If you're anywhere near Longboat Key and don't stop at Guppy's, you are seriously missing out. Perfectly located right across the street from the beach, it is *the* ideal spot to relax and enjoy an incredible meal after a day in the sun! Robin, the founder, along with his family and entire staff, are some of the most genuine, welcoming, and impeccable people you will ever meet. A huge shoutout to Joe and Katie - they went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable; they are rarities when it comes to service, compassion, and authenticity. The service was unequivocally flawless, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and you can truly feel how much heart goes into this place. It is safe to say that it's rare to find a restaurant where the food is amazing and the people are even better, but Guppy's absolutely delivers on both. This place is a true gem, and we'll be coming back every chance we get. Highly, highly recommend! read more

We had a great time at Guppy's, the people are super friendly, the drinks and food were good and it's kinda an all around happy place -- at least it was when we were there. We had drinks, chicken tenders (homemade and very good) and my partner had chili which he liked (he's a tough judge on chili, so if he liked it, that means it's really 5 stars!). We made friends with people at the bar and even had a very handsome gentleman buy us a round! Fun times at Guppy's. read more

Where the old Mexican restaurant on LBK use to be- Guppy's is a sports bar with multiple TV's and a nice staff. We went on a Saturday around 4 and there were a few patrons congratulated around the bar so we bellied up too. Beers were cold, our server was friendly and the food was good. My wife had the grouper tacos(2 for 1 on Tuesdays). I had the Philly cheesesteak. I liked the imported roll the most and the sandwich was more filling than my eyes thought. Overall, we may come back on a weekday when there are specials. I was shocked Guppy's has been here 2 years- time flies when on island time. read more

Absolutely one of the worst beef sandwiches I've had in my life. Portions are small and the price for meals exceeds the quality of the food. We had a pickup order. That went well I'm sure I'd sand before I ate here again. read more

We arrived after the Kentucky Derby and was greeted with enthusiasm by a staff that didn't care they had had a full day. They were excited we were there. Service and food were great. The restaurant is roomy with lots of televisions to watch. read more

Generously score. Fun local bar with TVs and sort of a sports vibe. Not a fan of the cheesesteak at all. Pretzel was good. Margaritas were decent. read more

We walked in a 4:00 on Wednesday and sat at a table, the bar was pretty full and there were a few people at tables. We sat there for 15 minutes and no one acknowledged us or approached us so we went next door and got yummy pizza. I guess they have too much business!!!! read more

A Philly themed sports bar on LBK WOW !! Great wings , cheese steaks , chicken sandwiches, poutine , long hots and plenty of TV's perfect for your sports viewing. Robin and his staff are friendly, accommodating and provide the perfect touch for an enjoyable afternoon on LBK read more

Excellent food, friendly service, clean, and full bar. Wife says "really good", "we'll be back!" read more

Guppy's - Poutine fries. Cheese curds, and fried potatoes with gravy. I'm not from Canada, but I really liked this! - Salad Near Me - Longboat Key, Florida

Fun time, good food, attentive waitstaff, and friendly people. A nice find on Longboat Key.

Staff friendly and professional. Drinks and food very good. Ambience very fun, clean and open. Totally a PA sports pub. Go and have a Philly cheese steak sandwich as good as any you'd get in Philly! read more

Found this place while riding my bike from west Bradenton through longboat- stopped in that evening for dinner, Philly themed sports bar- wife ordered the grouper Rueben but found the blackening seasoning a bit too hot for her taste, I had a cheesesteak with onions, mushrooms, green pepper and cooper sharp - it was awesome- clean, casual place with good pub food. read more

Our friend Christine took me a Philly folk and my Baltimore partner here yesterday and it was a dream. Philadelphia Sports items hang around but not in such a way that locals would feel overwhelmed. I forget the name of the bartender but he was friendly and attentive. We had the grouper tacos. All were flavorful and good. The menu had a nice variety of items. Best of luck to the owner of Guppy's. read more

Pleasantly surprised! We went for Happy hour one afternoon. The drinks, food, service and prices were all great. Especially for being on Longboat Key. We will definitely be back. read more

we had a super tasty meal here. chicken sandwich was so good, I am already planning my return to get it on our next trip south! Philly eggrolls were delicious and yummy too. you had me at fries cooked in beef tallow!!! we will be back! read more

Great service and fun atmosphere with great food! Plenty of TVs and parking. Bingo night can be really crowded.

Very clean fun sports bar like atmosphere. Delicious food, the fish tacos are amazing and I have to say the wings are probably some of the best I've ever had. And I am very wing picky!!! The service is excellent. We are so happy this spot came to LBK!!! read more

What a great little spot. It's hidden in the back of a strip plaza making it hard to find. Basically you are unlike to find it driving by at least that was my case until someone from the group found it online so we went to check it out and the food was spot on. Great wings, cheesesteaks and chicken sandwiches and burgers. Definitely great food read more

We had delicious Philly Cheesesteaks and fries. They were very tasty and reasonably priced for the portions. Drinks were good also. TV's visible for game watching and the place was clean and set up well. The service was prompt and friendly. Definitely would do again for a sports bar experience. read more

The food is out of this world, and their cocktails are amazing! It's a perfect spot to vibe, relax, or catch a game. The service is quick and incredible--highly recommend! read more

Great spot to grab a beer and watch a football game on Longboat key. Guppy's is a very welcoming spot with great service. I'll be back to try the Philly Cheesesteak, it looked real good read more

Went here to watch Superbowl. The owner kept turning the volume down on commercials. Kept asking to get the volume up. If you don't have a team to cheer on you at least want to hear the pregame and commercials. Guess he doesn't care what the customers want. MaryAnn, the bartender was excellent. But will never return to this place. Arrogant owner!!!! read more

Ice cold Yuengling on tap! Friendly servers! Very delicious Gup Smash Burger!! Outstanding potato salad! Nice, casual atmosphere with plenty of big TVs for sports watching. read more

We make sure to visit Guppy's every time we visit LBK. Super family friendly with great menu and delicious cocktails. Large wrap around bar with big screen tvs on every wall playing whatever game you want. My kids are 9 and 11 and request a stop here on our island visits. Great for carry out too! Super friendly and accommodating staff. read more

Food is pretty good and prices are as good as it gets on LBK but kitchen closes very early.

Restaurant was was packed when we arrived, but we were cheerfully greeted by the manager. Our server could not have been nicer. The Philly Cheesesteak was the best we have had. The entire restaurant staff worked with grace while under pressure. Kudos. read more

Food was excellent. Very attentive host, waiter and bartender. Enjoyed the music while able to hold a conversation. Third visit, we will be back! read more

Great Philly Bar, just what the island needed. Great food, love the Philly cheesesteak shrimp tacos. They have a big salted pretzel that's big enough to share. Bartender Doug is friendly and makes great cocktails. Definitely would recommend this place read more

Guppies is amazing! Great food at reasonable prices. Service was top notch! Try the margaritas! One of the best I ever had! Please try Guppies! You won't be disappointed. read more

I went to Guppy's for lunch recently with a friend of mine who was visiting LBK. We were almost the only ones in the restaurant. Our server was very friendly at first. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich which comes with fries, but I asked to substitute a side salad for the fries. On the Sides menu the side salad price was $2 LESS than the fries price. Despite that, my server said there would be a $2.50 UPCHARGE if I wanted to substitute the salad. I mildly protested given that I was already paying $19 for a simple sandwich and if anything I should be charged LESS for a less expensive side item. My server turned quite curt and rude, and simply said it's $2.50 more, do you want the salad or not? I was quite taken aback by not only the unreasonableness of this ridiculous upcharge, but the attitude that my questioning it was met with. I told the server that I would take the salad, but that I would never come back to this restaurant again. The sandwich was good (not $19 good) but came out with nothing on it at all, I had to ask for lettuce, tomato and mayo. The salad was small & very average with what tasted like grocery store bottled dressing. A very poor bargain for $21.50. I will never return to this restaurant. And very poor set up for a sports bar - the tables only allow people on one side to see the TV screens. read more

Get the grouper tacos .They actually have large chunks of fish in them,unlike some of the restaurants in the area. Easy to pop in with 4 or 6 people when moderately busy. read more

First visit, won't be our last! Always like to support LBK businesses and Guppy's won't disappoint. Good food, service, reasonable prices & located mid-key so easy to get to & perfect way to avoid in-season traffic into downtown. Had the shrimp tacos with corn tortillas which for $18., were flavorful & filling. The jalapeño slaw added just the right amount of kick without being too hot. Touting itself as a sports bar, plenty of TVs with a variety of sporting events to enjoy, with plenty of parking in the rear lot. Would definitely recommend. read more

Our group visited Guppy's several times during the month of February. Each time we were acknowledged at our arrival thanks to Doug our extremely enjoyable bartender who provided great service with both drinks and food that was always delicious. We also met Alexa, a great, fun waitress and Robin the Owner who was always engaging and friendly. Guppy's is a great addition to Longboat Key. We look forward to returning. read more
