Atmosphere is great. Sat outside. Weather perfect for us. Sidewalk was roomy for by walkers while we sat. Food was very good. Fried onion rings are good. Chicken fajitas good, could use a bit of seasoning but then again I'm Cajun. Fish tacos were perfect. Servers are very nice. read more

What an experience. Called to ask if they had the World Series on, and they said "Of course!" Got there and it wasn't on. They put it on when I asked, but with no sound. Then it took a few people, but they finally got the sound working. I asked if the Cobb Salad was gluten free, because I have an allergy. I was told it definitely was. When it was brought out, someone had placed bread on top. I explained that I couldn't eat that salad because of my allergy and asked them to make a new one. The "new" salad came out much quicker than the previous one, and the chicken was cold. I don't believe they made a new one because I had a serious reaction shortly after. Pretty despicable. read more

Amazing! Angelina that served us was awesome, she was so attentive and didn't mind us hanging out watching the band play. The flatbreads are delicious. If you enjoy live music this place is great! read more

After a enjoyable time walking around Venice window shopping we decided on having lunch at T J Carney's. It had been a typical SW Florida day will scattered showers (downpours). We we're going to sit inside in the AC but opted for outside on the sidewalk. It was very nice under the fans people watching while we talked. My wife enjoyed the corned beef special and I had the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich. The fish was very juicy and not overly blackened which is usually the case. The sandwich was supposed to have tarter sauce but I was glad they forgot it. It was delicious on its own and I think it would have been to much, maybe on the side for others. We will keep T J Carney's on the list to visit again. read more

Great place on Venice Beach! We had a quick lunch and it was really good! I had the special chicken salad on green and just a Diet Coke. The chicken salad was tasty! And our server was great and gave my several refills of soda! He was very attentive but not overbearing at all! Great service!!! My husband had a cup if lobster bisque and then a great serving of key lime pie all homemade! He was in Heaven! Very good and great flavors! Hit this stop up!! Great experience! read more

This was our second visit in 5 years. First time here was in 2013. It was a late stop after a long drive from Louisiana to visit my parents. It was me, my girlfriend and my son. The first visit was ehhhh. We wasnt a fan of the food or the service. 5 years later here we are again. This time because it was busy and this was 1 of very few restaurants that had seating. We figured, let's give it another go. Firstly, the food wasnt that bad, it was the service. We only saw our server once for ordering, after that, you couldn't get her attention even if you waved and yelled. She just looked at you and walked away to help other tables, which she seemed to know them personally or they were a larger group. We had to get help from other servers. Here is the shocking part, out of curiosity, i went on the Florida health violation site and was amazed to see how many "critical" violations this restaurant has received. Over 30 in 1 visit!!! I am a former HAACP trainer and this was shocking even to me. I assure you, we wont ever step a other foot in this place! read more

Food is very overpriced for what it is , the grouper was alright but was about 3 bites , cheese pizza kids meal was 9 dollars and tasted like it was microwaved frozen pizza also did not come with a drink or a side , Margherita flatbread pizza also tasted like microwaved frozen pizza . Only thing good was the service but we were also about the only ones in the restaurant read more

It was Ok - I wouldn't go back and would not send anyone there. Husband had Lobster bisque and Blackened Mahi Sandwich. Bisque had good flavor but was so thick it would have been really good as a bread dip but for bisque it needed to be thinned out. Waiter said it was because 'it's late in the day' but that doesn't mean you should serve a poor quality product. He said the mahi had good blackening spices but you could tell the fish was frozen - so ok. He had the coleslaw- again just ok not bad. I had French onion soup and a Rueben Sandwich with Sweet Potato fries ($1.50 extra). French Onion Soup was the best part of both our meals. Good broth, lots of onion bread was just a few croutons but lots of cheese melted on top. Rueben was served open faced so basically bread grilled, topped with meat and sauerkraut then with melted cheese over the whole thing - eat with a knife and fork. I order it without the Russian dressing. Probably because they don't grill it the meat was cold in the center. But there was plenty and after the soup I took home 3/4 of it. I will de-construct it and grill it. The sweet potato fries were mostly burned with a few ok ones in thrown in there, busy mostly not edible. With 2 glasses of wine the total with tip was around $77. So as I said overall OK but nothing special and we won't be back or recommend it to others. read more

Excellent place! We had a party of 8 plus a baby and they were able to accommodate us. The staff was in incredibly friendly! The food was delicious. Everyone in our party loved their meals. The French Onion soup was some of the best we have ever had! Highly recommend it! read more

T J Carney's - French Onion - American Near Me - Venice, Florida

Amazing fish tacos and burgers. Love the music! Service is good and staff is friendly.

had lunch here on Saturday. Started with the French onion soup which I did not get to enjoy as they brought our meal out too soon after serving the soup. I had the corn beef sandwich and my wife had the Shepards pie. Both were served with big portions, corn beef was very good. Shepards pie lacked flavor in the ground meat, it was just to finely cut up to make it enjoyable for her. proper kitchen mgmt would prevent meals from being served minutes from soup. read more

Excellent food, great happy hours Service is fast and the place feels comfortable Stopped in many times read more

Decided to try after the shutdown from the health services department - read all about it in Venice paper. Tried to have a drink at the bar. But the bartenders were busy chatting with each other. After 10 mins I asked if they were still open. Receiving a blank look. This place remains to be a disaster. Service sucks and I'm glad I didn't try the food. Adios read more

Always a fun place. Having Fish and Chips, wonderful. The place is hopping with the art fair going on outside but we got a great booth with an exceptional waiter Davu. He is an outstanding waiter. Very attentive, quick to come back to check on us even though he has several tables. read more

Went to the New Year's Eve celebration just a few days ago and found it to be lacking. The music was what you would expect for Florida, started off great with some really good rock music but towards the end the good turned into the stuff you hear repeated over and over again on the radio daily. The main singer and guitarist were talented but I'm sure they had to cater the music to the majority, which was an older crowd. Our waiter was great but the food was tasteless and you had your choice of boiled fish, tasteless prime rib and a chicken Cordon Bleu. If I could eat wheat, I would have ordered the latter but went with the prime rib. They did not allow substitutions so everything came with boiled carrots and a baked potato. "Boiled" seemed to be the theme for the night. I did not have the dessert, which was key lime pie but my husband said it was made from a box and he left most of the slice untouched. That says a lot since this guy has a massive sweet tooth. Needless to say that besides us being there to celebrate the ringing in of the New Year, there was really nothing that stood out for a repeat of the celebration for the following New Year's Eve. read more

Food is decent but the bartenders are the worst! Every time we go we have to flag them down and they have no personality with the exception of one that I forget her name. Always on their phone or spending an extra long time talking to a customer read more

Food was fine, waitress was horrible. She was rude throughout the entire time that we were there. We gave her a $1 tip because of the poor service we received. She then had the audacity to walk up to my family and I and complain about the tip she got. She decided to walk off and put the money on the table, not only was she disrespectful but she was absolutely so ungrateful because we could've just left nothing for her, which we should've done. Besides that the place was so beautiful and food was great. read more

Best corned beef sandwich! ....just delicious, lean corned beef with slaw and dressing on fresh rye bread...yum People are friendly and provide great service as well. Eat outside when it's nice and enjoy the atmosphere inside at other times. read more

Hostess was incredibly rude then we were sat by two large group tables with children who were screaming and running around while the restaurant was empty. Then we ordered our drinks and our waitress asked if we wanted to order and we just asked for a minute we did not see her for 20 minutes. when ended up walking out. read more

We've have been going here for years but this last visit the service & food has really gone downhill.....Covid-19 seems to have been forgotten in this restaurant. Servers not all wearing masks, food runners NOT wearing masks at all, Bartenders NOT wearing masks. Now to the service....not the best, slow to serve, slow with the check. Food not nearly as good as it was. I've always loved the Irish Onion Soup, now it's a few runny onions with bread...cheese topping is good, after that it's just mush. UGH! Pass by this one, toooo many better choices to consider!! read more

Poor sanitary conditions. Employees seem to be very laxed days ago about food and necessary handling. Food itself is mediocre best.

Food okay. Waitress horrible. In the middle of taking our order, she walked away because another table was talking to her. She wasn't young and maybe it was a long day for her. It was crowded and the drinks were very watered down. Sorry, but we one be back. read more

Had a nice lunch on the sidewalk. Service was good, food good. We both ordered $20 entrees plus beverages. After eating, the food and check were taken away and we were chatting a bit more as I finished my Diet Coke. Not more than 2 minutes. The hostess came over and said "we do have a wait list" and she stood over us until we got up. She really gave us the bums rush. I was so surprised. That has not happened to me before. We didn't see a wait line and all the tables inside were empty. What's up? That will be the first and last time I go there. Not a great way to treat customers. read more

I should have read the reviews, which I normally do! There was only a couple of people in here because of the time of year and CO-VID The French Fries came out cold. The waitress did not check on us. She did not ask if we wanted refills. She did not clear the table as she left the check, I had to push everything out of the way to sign the credit card receipt. read more

The service was unbelievably bad. Our waitress, Theresa H., was the worst waitress I have ever had. The first two times she came to our table after our seating, she told us to "hold on" so she could attend other tables and get their drinks. After we got the opportunity to order drinks, I had to insist on an appetizer. She then walked away without an acknowledgement. The next time we saw her was after the potstickers had arrived. She asks, in a rude tone, "what do you want?" After taking our order, she went to the next table and politely told them about the lunch specials we were never told about. This would be the last time she'd truly check on us. We had asked for ranch, however it wasn't brought with our meals. We tried to flag her down multiple times, however she would refuse to make eye contact with us whilst diligently attending to every OTHER table around us. We finally asked another waitress as she passed if we could please have refills and ranch, and she had the nerve to look down at her serving platter, roll her eyes, huff, and say "I mean yeah, but can you give me a minute." Overall, we saw our server six times: twice when she blew off taking our drinks; once to take our drinks; once to take out meal order; and the time when she asked whilst walking away if we needed anything, seemingly not looking for a response. We had to have the manager give her the check after she refused to come by and take it. On top of all of this, it took a solid hour and a half to get everything, with this waitress showing up once every roughly half hour. The food itself warrants a 2-3 star review. My girlfriend and I both got fish and chips with a potstickers appetizer. The potstickers appetizer came out warm, however bland beyond measure. The only thing that made them passable was the inclusion of soy sauce. The fish and chips looked and were bland. Fish batter had no seasoning in it. I can't say anything better about the fries as they were also bland. The fish of choice for this establishment is Atlantic cod? Within a mile from the beach and Atlantic cod is the "fresh fish and chips?" The sodas were the best thing we had here. Simply put, this restaurant is a joke. We aren't sure what spurred the nastiness from our waitress, however we do wish her well. I will never return to this establishment and highly recommend others skip a visit. read more

Not sure why all the bad reviews - perhaps some disgruntled employees? We had a wonderful time - in fact, it was "normal" - no masks (sorry sheeple, but you're being had by your government leaders), service with a smile, and FANTASTIC drinks that actually had alcohol in them. We got there just at the end of happy hour, and the two sister bartenders served us the happy hour food anyway - excellent ribs, and some tasty queso dip. Kudos to the bartenders! Thank you T.J.'s for making us feel welcomed, and like the world was normal again. read more

My wife knows I love shepherds pie and brought me home the meal. However, it includes seasoned beef carrots, onion, corn and mashed potatoes. I was disappointed in the lack of vegetables because I didn't see any onion or carrots. I would like to have seen some peas too. I will say the season beef and mashed taters were good. read more

Super slow service. We waited over 45 minutes for a sandwich, a wrap and a Flatbread. The food in general was less than mediocre. Sandwich bread was soggy and felt.like it had been in the window for quite some time. The wrap was generally normal with nothing special.to say. Flatbread was burnt. I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

T J Carney's - the entrance to the restaurant - American Near Me - Venice, Florida

this place may have the best Irish food in town, or it may be dirt. I'll never know after tonight. it wasn't the small overpriced drinks, it wasn't the tap water that took 20 minutes to receive. it was the horrible live "music". The acoustics in this place are horrible to begin with. So why not have a band that can't stop causing feedback that chooses to play at a volume that even farthest away from the stage leaves the ears ringing when my party chose to leave a large group gathering due to the band. The band made several of us PHYSICALLY uncomfortable, it was at the point where if you weren't speaking directly in the ear of someone then they can't hear you. we paid for our drinks and basically ran out of there. never to return. Stay away if you want to enjoy the company of friends or keep your hearing intact, one of our party had their Apple Watch notify them several times that the decibels were too high and they should move away from the sound. Again, our table was almost at the back of the restaurant and this was the case. read more

Lois and Justin were absolute lifesavers. We got in after dinner service and Lois went above and beyond to make sure that my family (including two small children) were taken care of. We aren't from the area and had no idea that everything would be closed, so having someone look after us was a saving grace. Justin stayed late to wait on us and got our order out promptly, and were are very grateful for his time. Food was great. Service was amazing. read more

Wife and several friends ate dinner at Carney's before the Venice Theater.

Great service. Great food. Live shows. Very clean. Will come back again next vacation for sure.
