I've never had a Chicago style hotdog so I wanted to give this place a try while in town…read more When I walked in I was greeted by a nice guy behind the counter, he was chatting with another couple but stopped to greet me and ask if I needed more time to review the menu. The place is small and personal, with pictures from different eras of time. There is enough room to eat inside either at the small tables or the bar top. I ordered the chili slaw dog with fries. It was delicious, the fries were the way I like them. The Chicago style hotdog. It was surprisingly good. I've never had a hotdog with pickles and tomatoes, it was really good and so were the fries. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. Imagine getting a dog and fries for less than $10. If you're on a budget please try this place you will not be disappointed!

This part is not their fault, but there were sooooo many "love bugs" at their entrance. I could not…read morestand out there without freaking out. Once our large group was seated, there were fans around us, so the bugs went away. I am from California, so I am not used to good service lol, so I was pleasantly surprised with all the "Yes ma'am," "Thank you, ma'am," etc. The server was nice and a total trooper with the number of people he had to keep track of because we all had separate checks. He did an amazing job, and we were extremely grateful. I tried their Housemade Crab Dip, and it was delicious. It was a great portion, really creamy, and well seasoned. For my meal, I had the Admiral's Platter. Everything was delicious, not too oily, and I loved the dipping sauces that came with it. Overall, it was a great experience with great service. If I'm ever back in Sarasota, I would love to come back.

We sat on the water and enjoyed a beautiful view. The decor and atmosphere is beachy and relaxing. The cocktails were good. The parking is convenient. The bad part that made it disappointing. The food was not great. My grouper sandwich was fair. It was kinda bland. The slaw was dry. The fish and chips was odd. The fries were decent. The fish was inside a very thick coating of batter. The crab legs were good. The coconut shrimp were good but too heavily battered. The green beans on the side were totally unseasoned. The worst was the chicken sandwich. It was tasteless with a a thick greasy batter. It was bad. Once we decided to send it back our server took forever to return to table to check on us. We were mid meal before we checked on. My daughter decided to pickup something else at a different restaurant after we left. How do you mess up a chicken sandwich? Unless you are just coming in for drinks(or crab legs) I would recommend a different choice of restaurant. The view adds one star to the rating.

I got a Chili cheese dog, a kraut dog with extra mustard and an order of fries plus a drink. All of that for only $10. Great place, great value. My only two minor critiques is that the hot dogs are on the thin side but very flavorful and the fries should be a little bit crispier. Other than that, I love this place.

We normally love Joey D's Chicago Style Eatery & Pizzeria in Venice, so we were excited to try the…read moreSarasota location. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. Our biggest issue was the pizza. We ordered a thin crust sausage and mushroom, and it came out extremely soggy -- so much so that you couldn't pick up a slice. It had to be eaten with a fork and knife because it was essentially sauce on a soft, limp crust. The mushrooms also seemed like they may have been canned and not fully drained, which only added to the excess moisture. It definitely did not resemble a Chicago-style thin crust. Service was also lacking. We didn't receive drink refills and waited quite a while for the check. Given how much we enjoy the Venice location, this experience was surprising and disappointing. Sadly, we won't be returning to this location.

We had the Thai version with slaw on the side - just AMAZING! Incredible flavors, especially the peanut sauce. A perfect mix with the other toppings, and we loved the touch of sriracha for kick (but not flaming). The homemade pineapple slaw was also fantastic, and a great mild paring to the flavors with the dawg. Hope we catch this truck again to try the tacos next!

I generally like ordering food that is named after the restaurant, thinking it's an item they are particularly proud of. It wasn't hard for me to decide to select their The S.O.B., a smoked bacon and blue cheese sandwich. In under 10 minutes our food arrived, and it was super good. With a brioche bun and all the toppings this was a tall burger. While I tried their natural cut fries from another plate, very good, I had ordered their coleslaw. That was an outstanding side with red cabbage, a bit tropical, a bit sweet. Service was wonderful, she was friendly and willing to chat while it wasn't busy, and did an excellent job with drink refills and handling the check stuff. They do have a service charge for using a credit card but that was easily removed when I paid with cash. The décor was rich, in that the walls were covered with $1 bills. Gives the place character.
