Food was prepared very quickly. The shrimp tacos were very crunchy and delicious. They had a little kick to them. The brisket was also good, although the portions were on the smaller side. Fried green tomatoes were crunchy and the sauce was very tasty.
Please try this restaurant when you are visiting Venice! I highly recommend the barbecue plate. We normally order 3 different meat (pork, ribs, brisket). They are so delicious. You can choose 2 sides, and we ordered collard green and baked beans. They are also the best!
If you like smoked meets this place is a must!! Amazing BBQ restaurant with preserved old Florida charm!
What a pleasant place to have a bite to eat. 1st the people working are so nice and friendly. I felt very welcome. It has an old Florida feel. It sits along the river where people kayak, canoe and boat tours take place.
The food was delicious. I had pulled pork, pulled chicken, collards and coleslaw which was all good. My partner had Salmon with baked beans and asparagus. she said everything was great.
Amazing food and white sangaris. There were 5 of us, and we all had the brisket. Phenomenal. Tender, lots of flavor, delicious! Definitely recommend. The cole slaw and homemade potato chips were also delicious. Service was spot on, and the manager even popped by and thanked us for dining with them. We even had a visitor. We will definitely be back!
Awesome restaurant right on the myakka. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Beware of the gators. Definitely would go back again before they demolish the building next year.
Fun spot to get a bite to eat, enjoy a cold beer and listen to a live band. Glorious way to spend an afternoon. The salad was huge and pulled pork sandwich was melt in your mouth tender. The pork is smoky and perfectly seasoned. And, oh my goodness, the homemade chips are not to be missed. Had the best Saturday just sitting around this super comfortable low key Florida location. Down a bumpy gravel road but so worth the trip!
Snook Haven is a hidden gem the locals told me about. Absolute best fried okra with a dill dipping sauce, brisket was excellent and the view over looking the water was great. I just kicked back and relaxed on the deck while enjoying the view.
Definitely more of a pub food experience but still really good. This riverfront cafe is the unassuming little brother of sharky's on the pier. We had the alligator bites which were good and the beer was cold
Smoked wings were outstanding! Ribs and smoked brisket were very good. Beer was a bit overpriced for a little more than a clear Dixie cups worth. Not even a pint sized solo cup for draft??? Live Music and overall outdoor atmosphere was very Old Florida like… overall good time! And I do recommend if you haven’t been there!
Great, rustic heart of Florida vibe. Fun joint with great wait staff and live music. Buried in the oaks with the moss hanging along the Myakka river is a great feel. Smoked salmon tacos were enjoyable and surprisingly good side dishes like the beans and rice. Burger looked great and tasted very good as well. Lots of BBQ options. Most sandwiches came with house made chips. Beverages are in bottles.
This is a unique location to get a bite to eat. The restaurant is right on the Myakka River. There’s some nice outdoor seating overlooking the Myakka River. It’s such a pleasant dining experience. The restaurant staff were excellent- very courteous and cheerful attitude. The food was okay. Nothing special. Just typical southern BBQ. Would recommend this place for a unique Florida dining experience.
This place takes me back in time. Such a relaxing old Florida environment. We’ve had dinner/lunch several times and rented a canoe the last time. We enjoyed the peaceful stroll down the Mayans river. Then we enjoyed the amazing food. My favorite is the chicken wings. We usually go when we have our staycation in Venice Beach but we have actually driven an hour just to have dinner there and then driven back the same night. That’s how good it is!
Great place to relax and enjoy the band. Even the rain didn't dampen our time!
I loved this place. Definitely an "old Florida" vibe. Good and drinks were very good. Our server Julia was sweet as can be. Great blues band playing. Looking for a back woods, cool place to eat and hang out ... this is the place. First time here, definitely not the last. 👍
What a great atmosphere. Live music and an all-around friendly vibe. The brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and fried catfish were all absolutely cooked to perfection, and the service could not have been better. A definite stop for anyone looking for great food and a lively atmosphere.
Excellent old Florida atmosphere with very good entertainment. Pretty much excellent food. I liked the 3 meat platter, but found the smoked wings only ok. My partner loved them.
