Therefore I'm providing this update. Paid $24.35 for a Giant Roast Beef & Provolone sandwich Mike's Way + Mayo and got home and got a sandwich with a few slices of meat and cheese, no Mike's juice, no herbs and spices...Not the sandwich I paid for. On more than 3 occasions (so not an off day/night) this location has botched up my order and I've never complained, but this time I couldn't hold back. This is an opportunity for J Mike's franchisee to retrain their employees and set expectations on how their products and service are delivered to their customers.

This is another one of our "must come back" places when we are in Venice. This is our third time…read moreback (three for three). Actually our very first time here we couldn't get a seat because it it that popular. I love their chicken and dumpling soup. This is THE definition of comfort for to me. It tastes like a quality chicken pot pie with actual goodies, none of this whole farmland of potatoes, carrot, and peas plus some broth and butter and a shred of chicken tail and calling it a "chicken soup." This was a hearty soup with chunks of white meat chicken and soft dumplings. Basically chicken dumpling soup as they say, vs potatoes cube soup. It is a must have. I really did myself a disservice and only got a cup.... on my own vacation after working throughout the entire pandemic on-site. The gulf shrimp platter (I got blackened) absolutely delicious. I love the Bourbon Sriracha sauce and used it as a dipping sauce for my fries. You can also never go wrong with hearty mashed potatoes and their gravy. My fiance got some brisket pork combo (in the entrees section) plus mac and cheese side... so good!! This is a must go to place, and the staff are super pleasant. Zero complaints from me!

I went to Darrell's casual Southern restaurant to get some BBQ but I chickened out. Quite…read moreliterally. I couldn't resist the offer of lightly battered fried chicken livers AND a two piece fried chicken platter w two sides. The livers were very good- right out of the fryer and not heavily battered. I don't know why but it was served with a side of mild buffalo sauce. You could also dab it in some of their homemade BBQ sauces. The dark meat fried chicken was also very good- lightly battered and right out of the fryer. I chose collards and mashed potatoes w gravy. The greens were tender and very tasty. The mashed potatoes were also good. The sides and a square of sweet cornbread rounded out the southern comfort food platter. Beer and wine is served along with sweet teas and soda. The servers were friendly but were slammed going table to table. I thought about a slice of the frozen peanut butter pie to go but bailed on it. My meal was very good. This is the spot where the locals eat.

The burger was one of the best we've ever had, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fries were lightly seasoned with truffle, giving them just the right amount of flavor, with a perfect crunch. The wings were also fantastic. The Cajun style buffalo wings had bold, flavorful spices, and the balsamic glaze was a great complement to the blue cheese wedge, rich and tangy without being overpowering. I tried the Papa's Storm cocktail, and it was dangerously delicious, smooth, well-balanced, and incredibly refreshing. Our server was friendly and attentive, always ensuring our drinks were topped off without us even needing to ask. The ambience is quaint and casual, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Most importantly, the food was very affordable, which made the experience even better. We had an excellent first visit and are already looking forward to coming back!

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......
