The staff was friendly, and they brought our food right to our table. I ordered the Haystack Double with fries, described as two fresh 3-ounce beef patties with American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, pickles, special sauce, and a toasted brioche bun. It arrived hot and fresh with perfectly crispy smashed patties and plenty of flavor. The fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned just right. Great food, friendly service, and a convenient setup. We'll definitely be back.

The fries are a little weird but evert thing else was good. We went to another location before and felt like their menu was larger but it might have been the time of the day

I went on a Monday and took advantage of their $6.95 cheeseburger special. First and a burger with…read morethe fixings. Not a bad price. Sadly, it wasn't a full size burger. It was over cooked. The fries are barley passable. The service was fine. The menu varried enough. It was a food quality issue. When I am asked if I want pink I my burger and I say yes, having a burger that is closer to well than medium just isn't acceptable. (I was starving, ate what I was served. Didn't think after giving instructions once they would get it rightva second time) The beverages were cold. The tvs were showing the world cup. I'd go back, just not on a Monday for a burger.

Really cool restaurant with super cool aesthetic!…read more I had never been to one of these restaurants before and got to go for my birthday and was pleasantly surprised by how cool it is! It was busy and can definitely get busy so the wait time was about 20 min but they text you when they are ready for you! Once seated we got immediately served with drinks and had plenty of time to look at the menu and got recommendations as well! I ordered the all American burger, and my boyfriend bought the estate burger. We also paired it with some onion rings and some drinks! Everything came out in maybe about less than 20 minutes and was cooked perfectly and so delicious! The burger was cooked exactly as I wanted and so juicy! The onion rings were also so good especially with the sauce! Our server was amazing and always checked in on us to make sure we were cared for. Everything was amazing and I would love to come back!

I generally like ordering food that is named after the restaurant, thinking it's an item they are particularly proud of. It wasn't hard for me to decide to select their The S.O.B., a smoked bacon and blue cheese sandwich. In under 10 minutes our food arrived, and it was super good. With a brioche bun and all the toppings this was a tall burger. While I tried their natural cut fries from another plate, very good, I had ordered their coleslaw. That was an outstanding side with red cabbage, a bit tropical, a bit sweet. Service was wonderful, she was friendly and willing to chat while it wasn't busy, and did an excellent job with drink refills and handling the check stuff. They do have a service charge for using a credit card but that was easily removed when I paid with cash. The décor was rich, in that the walls were covered with $1 bills. Gives the place character.

Once our large group was seated, there were fans around us, so the bugs went away. I am from California, so I am not used to good service lol, so I was pleasantly surprised with all the "Yes ma'am," "Thank you, ma'am," etc. The server was nice and a total trooper with the number of people he had to keep track of because we all had separate checks. He did an amazing job, and we were extremely grateful. I tried their Housemade Crab Dip, and it was delicious. It was a great portion, really creamy, and well seasoned. For my meal, I had the Admiral's Platter. Everything was delicious, not too oily, and I loved the dipping sauces that came with it. Overall, it was a great experience with great service. If I'm ever back in Sarasota, I would love to come back.

We were very disappointed with our food. This place is missing an opportunity to be a great…read morevacation dining spot. First, we'll start with the good. The location is amazing. We sat on the water and enjoyed a beautiful view. The decor and atmosphere is beachy and relaxing. The cocktails were good. The parking is convenient. The bad part that made it disappointing. The food was not great. My grouper sandwich was fair. It was kinda bland. The slaw was dry. The fish and chips was odd. The fries were decent. The fish was inside a very thick coating of batter. The crab legs were good. The coconut shrimp were good but too heavily battered. The green beans on the side were totally unseasoned. The worst was the chicken sandwich. It was tasteless with a a thick greasy batter. It was bad. Once we decided to send it back our server took forever to return to table to check on us. We were mid meal before we checked on. My daughter decided to pickup something else at a different restaurant after we left. How do you mess up a chicken sandwich? Unless you are just coming in for drinks(or crab legs) I would recommend a different choice of restaurant. The view adds one star to the rating.

The place is small and personal, with pictures from different eras of time. There is enough room to eat inside either at the small tables or the bar top. I ordered the chili slaw dog with fries. It was delicious, the fries were the way I like them. The Chicago style hotdog. It was surprisingly good. I've never had a hotdog with pickles and tomatoes, it was really good and so were the fries. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. Imagine getting a dog and fries for less than $10. If you're on a budget please try this place you will not be disappointed!

The sandwich was good, but I should have ordered the after burner because the base wasn't spicy at all. Tenders and wings are cooked well. I wasn't a fan of the sauce. I can't describe why, but it just didn't wow me (but it didn't gross me out either). Service was friendly. Seating at a table is tough.

Unfortunately, I either tried it on a really off day or my taste buds just weren't in it. I tried the hot chicken tenders, but they were like chewing through pieces of steak that had been cooked too long. Very tough and dry. The sauce surprised me, but not in a bad way. It has a really sweet base coat and then hot top coat. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but I think I did. Haha. My husband had a sandwich and thought it was good; he didn't share a bite though. I really enjoyed their french fries, Which is slightly unusual for me to comment on. There was a powder dusting on something sprinkled on them, and it was really evenly dispersed and tasty. Maybe I'll try this place again and see if the main entree disappointment was a fluke. If so, I'll update then....
