IS KLEDecember 22, 2014This place is outstanding. On the water. Decent beer selection and yummy bar food. Get the salty dog (a fried hot dog) with a bunch of stuff on it- don't be afraid. Kids meals come w a frisbee.
Anneka NelsonApril 24, 2016Seafood 🍣🍤🇱🇷 is the best fresh food you'll ever enjoy. It can't get any better than ocean front and that's where they get everything crabmeat,blue shell fish and oysters all day long
Joe WinnApril 17, 2013Great "locals" place right next door to Mote Marine. Very big and good Greek salad and tasty black bean burgers. Sit outside along the water for a wonderful view.
George WJune 23, 2014Catch of the Day, Grouper is the Bomb! Great atmosphere when you sit outside, waterside. Great service and friendly staff. It's our favorite on Longboat Key.
John KrogmanDecember 3, 2017Great place on the water. Raw oysters were excellent and great Grouper sandwich recommended by Alex was awesome.
Erica WillertonFebruary 22, 2013Quick service! Loved the food! Shrimp was delicious!! Right on the water so you can watch the boats go by as you eat!
Travel ChannelNovember 7, 2011Indulge in a foot-long hot dog dipped in beer batter and deep-fried, known as the infamous Old Salty Dog. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.
Erica CopelandDecember 31, 2019The mahi sandwich is great and the best mussels in a white wine sauce are the best I’ve had!!
Julie RehbeinOctober 7, 2012Not the best address for food, but awesome for beers & watching the sunset with your loved ones, incl the pooch!
Nikolas FlorosJanuary 22, 2015Good low key seafood spot. The classic fish and chips is great as are the cod egg rolls when they have them.
Shaun CollierJune 1, 2015The Salty Dogs are awesome, and you get some great views. Look out for the dolphins!
Stephanie LawrenceJune 22, 2017Don't order the lobster roll, do order the Mediterranean burger and oysters!!! Great staff!!!
Behrad EatsApril 4, 2012Must get the The Salty Dog fully loaded, deep fried dog, sauerkraut, 3 cheeses and onions. What more do you want?
Joshua WagyDecember 29, 2012Yes the Salty Dog is insane and a must get once. But caesar salad with blacked grouper is awesome.
Phillip W.August 3, 2013A fully loaded salty dog is not something you will be eating on a regular routine, but you should muster up the courage to binge it down at least once, and head home for a quick nap shortly after.
Kayla RaymannJune 6, 2013One of our favorite places but the prices have gone up.. A little much when everything's plastic!! Still great food though!- Pete Van BaalenMarch 3, 2013Still one of the best grouper sandwiches around. Go with the extra spicy blacken.
Brenden ChandlerAugust 3, 2019It’s averagely decent for the hot dog portion clam chowder was actually better than the hot dog but that’s just my opinion
Daniel ShliferJuly 5, 2010Still one of the best places to have a great burger on the water. Sits on New Pass so you see many boasts going by.
Kayla BeeMuddyJune 9, 2012Mediocre Fish & Chips, so not get! Hopefully I just had them on an off day. The famous Salty Dog is really good though! Service was vey "ehh", apparently our table was too small to be cared about.
Dr. Ive A. RoundcstuffAugust 3, 2013Location is great. Food is ok. Like everything else in Sarasota it closes to early on the weekends.
Great local place to be on the water. Fish n chips and the firecracker grouper wrap are favorites of our group.
Missy MonroeAugust 7, 2014Tried the lobster Sammie.. Wasn't for me.... But the salty dog... Omg!! Yummmmm!!!!!
Jason ReedMay 4, 2010Must try the Salty Dog once in your life. It is nothing but tasty artery clogging goodness!
