Good food, smallish portions but priced accordingly. Attentive staff, friendly. Not a large place. Likely will go back :)

Everything actually from my French toast combo to the egg dishes by my 2 companions. Little crowd & 9am & good thing cause BECKY was alone on the floor but she had everything under control as alwasy. Great place read more

Came in this morning for breakfast and after ordering, we waited 25 minutes and watched while everyone around us was served... not really that busy ...we ordered scrambled eggs and an egg sandwich not difficult to make... walked up to the counter and told our waitress that I wanted to pay just for our coffee that we were not waiting any longer. She told me to just leave... I don't think I'll ever return there! read more

Still a very good breakfast With time and an appetite, I decided to drive down to Venice for breakfast at the Shamrock Café. This neighborhood café has been serving up food for over a decade. While I think of it as a local breakfast spot, it is much more than that, with dinners including two French Nights, Friday Fish Day, and Saturday's Prime Rib Night. The menu for French Night varies but always includes Chicken Normandie and Beef Bourguignon. My breakfast today was Corn Beef Hash & 2 Eggs, basically the same meal I had in my last review years ago. This time I wasn't quite as impressed with the corned beef but still fine. The serving size was again small. Now that I realize there is a French influence it kind of fits. I thought the price was very reasonable for what I got. read more

Shamrock Cafe - Corn Beef Hash & 2 Eggs - Diners Near Me - Venice, Florida

Really enjoyed the atmosphere, waitresses, and the food was delicious!! Friday's is Fish Fry Day!

Just average, the TV over the bar is on Fox TV the whole time and loud enough you can't ignore. Went to have an enjoyable lunch with friends but won't ever return. I don't understand owners that think everyone should listen to their politics!!!! read more

Local neighborhood resturant and typical strip mall variety . However found it Rather dark and needing some TLC & updating ! Food was ok but nothing at all memorable ! Don't plan on returning . read more

They have a great waitress that really tries hard! Fish fry was under cooked with a rather small serving which was a Good Thing! We have been customers for many years but no more I'm afraid. read more

We haven't been to Shamrock in 10 years. We decided to go tonight for their Friday night seafood specials. My wife and I both had the fish and chips special. $14.00. OUTSTANDING. The fish was very lightly coated and fried to perfection. Very moist and tender. The fries were crisp and well seasoned. We both had the clam chowder. Very tasty. The one disappointment was that the chowder had very little clams in it. We will be back!! read more

Love this diverse and varied menu!! Food has always been perfectly prepared with fresh ingredients. Liver & onions always my favorite! The Specials Board is worth checking out. The seating allows for easy movement and the service is great. Full, well stocked bar! Go! You will not be disappointed. read more

How did I miss reviewing this place. It's practically walking distance from my folks place. It is a local French diner. There are several French items on the menu but it's mostly basic comfort food. The service is quick and always asking if they can get you something. It's always busy with seniors from the area, so they are used to serving us slower folks. Breakfast today was bacon and eggs. Just fine. Folks got French toast and waffles. They ate everything, so I'm giving five stars. Definitely a place to get a bite, but not a 'white tablecloth' spot. Not cheap but not expensive either. It's one of my folks lunch rotation places. It seems a little like Cheers, with the staff greeting a lot of customers by name. read more

What a wonderful surprise eating here. This place has a nice varied menu to please everyone. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the owners are delightful! The grouper and scallop with shrimp special was out of this world delicious! Our first time eating here but not our last. read more

Wonderful food and great service - my brother and I have eaten there several times and never have been disappointed.

Love the Reubens one of the best in town and my friend Kron works there so it is always good to see her

Old fashion cafe with good food and down to earth wait staff that treat you like family. Off the beaten path a bit but you will enjoy.

We looked at their website and their hours are listed as open until 8 Pm. We arrived at about 2. The open sign was lit. We approached the door and a lady stepped out and told us they are closed from 1:30 to 4. When I mentioned the website I was told I should have looked at Facebook. If they are not going to keep the website accurate they should turn it off. The last place I'll look is Facebook. No problem won't need their information ion again read more

Wednesday evening is French menu. Oh La, La! Tres magnifique! There were four of us and we all loved our meals. The escargot is scrumptious and not overly garlicky. Two of us had the bronzino fish filets. Perfectly grilled, served with a lucious lemony sauce. The veal chop was huge and the dijonaise sauce was a perfect complement. The star was the the shrimp and scallops in a lobster sauce. And to top it off, the crime brûlée was perfect. Yes, we will be going back. read more

The people were fantastic along with the food I recommend us for anybody really hungry

My wife and I stopped in on 2/16/22 for dinner on "French Night". I have to say that it was a fabulous experience. Both the food and the service were outstanding. I had the breaded veal cutlets with marinated artichoke hearts and a baked potato and my wife had the shrimp and scallops with haddock in lobster sauce with mashed and the same artichoke hearts I had. Great local place. Highly recommended! read more

A small cozy place to get some delicious food and may be a beer the staff was friendly also

The meatloaf was wonderful, I'm looking forward to coming back to try the rest of the menu Don't judge it from the outside read more

You may think that Shamrock Cafe is an Irish Cafe due to its name but the owners are French. They offer a wide variety of food, including French menu on Wednesday and Thursday. We had a wonderful dinner last night two of us had the trout with almonds, one liver and onions and one meatloaf. Everything was delicious. You need to try this restaurant prices are reasonable the servers and service excellent. read more

I am so glad my wife found this place. It is now our favorite place to eat in the area. Don't let the look of being in a strip mall fool you. The French couple who owns this offers food you the likes of which you can't find anywhere in the area. Even better is the staff. We always leave there with a smile on our faces because they love interacting with diners. read more

This is a fabulous place to eat. The service is great and so is the food. I highly recommend you try it. The server's all help each other. It is ran perfectly! read more

Food was delicious to celebrate St Patrick's Day. Limited menu & very busy. But it was a great choice.

Love this place, food, staff and comfortable environment! It's always nice when the chef/owner comes out to check on the patrons to ensure they are happy with his creations! read more

Been going to the Shamrock Cafe for a year now. I would say it will be my last time due to the rude service I received. I went in for the Sat Prime Rib special and it was packed. I was with a party of four and it took about 5 minutes before we sat down. Ordered my usual and our food came out within 20 minutes after ordering. The prime rib I received was cold and I requested the waitress to get me a new one. In addition, I asked where were the rolls for our dinner. She said they ran out and they will be making more. 10 minutes go by I get my prime rib back but it was microwaved. Kind of obvious the plate was hot too. It wasn't that great by then because it became rubber. I requested for a side of horseradish and it took another 10 minutes before it arrived. Waitress seemed pissy with me and we requested refills for our sweet tea. No refills and we got the check. She comes back with 2 rolls and picks up the bill with my credit card. She finally arrived with the rolls, not four, but two rolls after our meal. Are we supposed to split these 4"x4" rolls as a dessert amongst ourselves? Don't forget we never got any refills either because she forgot. Still tipped the 20% but to the owner/ management check on your waitress's customer service because you just lost an all year around Venice resident. read more

The service was awesome and food was delicious! Nice place for breakfast or brunch! They offer French vanilla cream for coffee and a small pitcher for tea refills. It's a local place. read more

We really like this restaurant! My wife and I have been here for breakfast lunch and dinner. Cozy atmosphere, excellent friendly service and great food are it's hallmarks. And all at a very nice price. Shamrock Cafe has become our favorite place in Venice! read more

We arrived at the cafe at 5:30 and we sat down immediately. It took our server 15 minutes to take our order. She also took the order of the couple sitting in the booth next to us. I asked for bread and was told the restaurant had no bread, yet the menu includes sandwiches and other dishes that require bread. She agreed to bring me some marble rye. The couple in the next booth received their meal within 15 minutes, yet it took over 45 minutes for our meal to come out of the kitchen. We watched other customers come in be seated, order and receive their meals while we watched and waited. Bottom line the food is good, yet the service is very poor. I do not fault the kitchen, but I do fault the server for not placing the order, since I challenged the no bread issue. read more
