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.

Simple deli. Nothing fancy but delicious!

That what I came here for. But I could not stop there. I saw homemade pastry. The lady who was a baker was so proud of her food I figured had to be good. Can you say sfogliatele? You should learn because this was one of the best I have ever had. Flaky buttery with great yellow cream filling. So fresh. Excellent. Then on way out I grabbed 1/2 dozen taralle.

They have table seating available in the deli.

Smells like home! Worth just the walking in. Delish and yum!

This is by far my favorite breakfast spot. I go to the Siesta Key location sometimes, but usually the one on Clark Rd. My breakfast is always great. The service is really good too & the staff is always friendly. One of my favorite things is that the orange juice is fresh and man is it delicious! I like to bring my nephew here because he can get a healthy breakfast that he will actually eat. The fruit is always fresh and you can get berries only if you wish which he really likes. I always go for the french toast, with a side of bacon and the potato casserole (all amazing)! My boyfriend likes the Sheepherder Skillet. There are so many options that there really is something for everyone. read more

My wife and I have been eating at the Broken Egg for nearly 20 years now. Originally they were only on Siesta Key, Now they have a Broken Egg on Lakewood Ranch, and my new favorite, the Clark Road Broken Egg. It's at the corner of Sawyer Rd. and Clark in Sarasota. I am a fan of their Sheepherder. It's their special hash browns made with sour cream, topped with 2 poached eggs, and a mixture of 3 cheeses all baked in a dish, and a side of fruit. Yummy! Occasionally my wife get's the Broken Egg sampler. A pancake, hash browns, fruit and more. Now if they would just buy a quality bacon to serve they would get 5 stars. Good service, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. read more

The food was good, the waitresses accommodating. I enjoyed it until the owner began to argue with us for wanting separate checks. First she told me I called and told her it would be on one check. I repeated several times, I did not call. She had the name wrong. But went on to berate my boss for the inconvenience and how long it would take etc. (once she finally divided our checks up, it took no time at all) We were a large party and I understand this can be a task but this was truly an embarrassing display of very aggressive behavior. I couldn't wait to get out of there and I will not return. read more

A bit of a downgrade from previous visits. The menu seemed to have really shrunk. Hash browns were not greasy and they were actual hash browns instead of fried potatoes, which is more often the case around here. The hollandaise sauce was bland, the English muffin wasn't crisp. Certainly not bad, but nothing to write home about, either. We ate here because we were in the area and were happy with our previous visits, but now there are far better places to have breakfast. Try up the road in the Gulf Gate area for other options.
