In Season, Saturday, March 21, 2026 - Two for take out lunch for the beach…read more My wife has been bragging about these folks for months so we thought to stop in and see how they are for a few sandwiches?! VERY GOOD is the short answer! My wife got the Polo Toscano - grilled chicken on an awesome sourdough bread that I believe comes in from New Jersey? She decided to take a little bite in their roomy parking lot!!!! AND the result was we did not make it over KMI/Hatchett Creek Bridge heading to Nokomis Beach..... I got the "stump"/end of the bread with a little bit of chicken / cheese etc. So will have to go by her assessment. 9/10 I got the Lukie - portabella, asparagus, zucchini, roasted red pepper cheese (provolone and they let me try a piece before they made the sandwich!!! WOW that is no Dietz & Watson or Publix brand cheese - right out of the Italian market in NY or Philly!!) They put balsamic and oil on and the veggies were sauté etc. And there in was the only issue. Flavor and ALL ingredients were great....... but the sourdough bread was a soggy sponge by the time I cracked it open on the beach about 30 minutes later. The vinegar, the liquids from the sauté, the oils and etc. I WILL be going back for this exact thing next time, BUT will get it "dry" or dressing on the side. I picked it apart and threw well over 1/2 the roll in the trash. 5/10 Really good first visit for me and EASY PEASY fix so check back on my update...... OR go there yourself and find out how great they are! I spoke to a few friends and the overwhelming feedback was very good food and selection....but prices are a bit high for a deli/takeout.

Papa's carries cuts of meat that are relatively unavailable at big markets, like Petite Tenders, which are like a small tenderloin and a perfect size for dinner for 2. They also carry Tri Tip, which is a cut you will not easily find in Florida. We just cooked one with a Santa Ynez bbq sauce as the marinade and a puréed amount saved for use as a topping. It melts in your mouth! Papa's also has a great collection of prepared foods in small and larger containers that are like homemade...because they are! Stop by and check out the store. You'll find something you like!

Stopped by Ana's Deli in Sarasota and tried the "Anna's Way" -- wow!…read more The Anna's Way sandwich was absolutely incredible -- piled high with perfectly sliced turkey, cheeses, crisp cucumbers, and their signature Anna's sauce. The sauce gives it that perfect balance of tang and savory richness that takes the flavor to the next level. The bread was fresh and had just the right texture to hold all the fillings without getting soggy. Every bite was a perfect mix of flavors and textures -- creamy, crunchy, savory, and satisfying. The team behind the counter was friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in what they serve. If you're in Sarasota, do yourself a favor and order Anna's Way.

(Mind you it does say hamburger so that was our fault). My Reuben was delicious. I am a picky Reuben eater, the marble rye was butter/flat top toasted (a nice crunch) with fresh corned beef, Swiss, dressing and I enjoyed the pickle on it. The right amount of everything. Our server was polite, and on top of everything. We suck and didn't catch his name (our fault not his), younger guy with a bald head, Monday lunch closer.

Beautiful place. When you walk in it feels like you are going to have the most amazing meal ever…read more We both selected the PAM breakfast. One was ordered as is and it was rated 7 out of 10. OUCH The other PAM was modified and I rated this one the same. Another OUCH I wanted so much to love this place but when you're eating your meal and thinking my OJ at home is sooo much better than this one. I wonder how long this bacon has been sitting around because it's dry and tough? THAT's NOT GOOD. Food should taste fresh as though it was just made, FOR ME. This food was not. It lacked flavor was not very warm and again did not express freshness. Bagel was also just okay. No where near a New York Bagel. Overall for a restaurant to be memorable each individual item has to be the best. This results in a total amazing meal. This meal unfortunately was not amazing just Okay. What was good? Glad you asked. Coffee was warm & tasted good. Extra points for providing real cream on the side. Love that! It's a great touch! The cream cheese was excellent. Service was also good. I think this place has great potential but definitely needs a new chef with more upscale, fresh ideas.

The Original Wolfie's Restaurant, Deli & The Rascal House Bar is a New York-style Jewish deli in Sarasota. They're known for classic deli fare like pastrami, Reuben sandwiches, matzo ball soup, potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage, and famous cakes like the Rascal House chocolate cake. The vibrant deli is filled with Broadway & celebrity memorabilia. It is a modern revival of a classic deli with full-service dining, a lively bar, and both indoor & outdoor seating, As a child, a highlight of visiting, my grandparents was getting online at Wolfie's in Miami Beach. The original, iconic Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House and Wolfie's Delicatessen in Miami Beach & Sunny Isles closed in 2008. The original Miami Beach locations were famous landmarks for 50 years before closing. We almost missed the deli. It's sort of around the corner in a little alleyway. We walked in past the bakery, deli meats, salads, and desserts before getting to the maître D. Danielle waited on us, she was informative and on point. We shared a pastrami on Rye and a potato knish. It was a lot of memorabilia inside as well as a full bar. We sat outdoors. It was a beautiful afternoon. Our potato knish was large. It was enough for two of us, a little cold in the middle. Our pastrami sandwich was too big to fit in my mouth, the meat was a little dry and tough. The dessert we ordered 4 Rugelach that tasted more like cake. I'm glad we shared because this would've been much too much to eat on my own. There seem to be confusion between our waitress and the kitchen, either they brought out something that we didn't order or nothing came out and Danielle thought we were serve served. Our shared dinner was reasonable, $40 for the both of us.
