If you are a casual Golf fan that enjoys a bite & a drink or two...or more Evie's should be one of your go to spots... This place is literally a "Tavern On The Range." Fairly big venue with plenty of seating inside and and outside as well. The long fully stocked outdoor bar in the back is flanked by the Range. Typical Florida weather, its much cooler inside with the AC than outside. We came here to grab a bite to eat and hit the driving range for a bit, however we never got around to the driving range. #TavernGrub: ~ STARTERS: DELUXE NACHOS - 2/5 Massive plate of Nachos that were OK. There were a lot of chips on the plate. It definitely needed more toppings and they skimped on the Ground Beef. ~ 6 PIECE WINGS w Nashville Hot Sauce - 3/5 Your standard Chicken wings with "Nashville Hot Sauce." The Wings were OK, the sauce wasn't spicy, it had a warm mouthfeel and didn't linger. ~ BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA - 4/5 We were impressed by the pizza. This was similar to a NYC thin crust. Good flavor with an excellent crust. They could have added more chicken. We found the food to be OK, nothing outstanding, just your standard Bar food, some good and some not so good. I'd sit inside next time. read more

Busy night and our waitress was doing well until....my whole table got there food except me. Then they brought the wrong food,took it back, and made me wait until well after the rest of my family was done eating. Seriously,I got here at 5:12pm. We ordered at 5:15pm It's 6:05pm and still no food! read more

Tried the fish and chips, I understand Friday is the special of the week. Fish breading was soggy, no seasoning, plain fries nothing special. Will not return read more

I picked a good day to visit Evie's, today (Thursday) was Burger Day. For $8 you get a burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion plus a side. I added cheese for an extra buck and picked their house-made chips as my side. The Angus burger was very good, tasty, and the chips excellent. Each day during the week is a special day of one thing or another. In a hurry? It only took 6 minutes from the time I ordered my food until it was sitting in front of me. Evie's actually has a pretty large menu, offering pizzas, sandwiches, a list of salads, several starters, and a few miscellaneous items. They also have a pretty large number of TVs. They have seating inside and more outside by the driving range. My server and bartender both did a good job, my drink was never empty and as soon as I finished eating, I got my check. read more

If you are wanting to bring your kids here for a fun arcade experience, don't set your expectations too high. For it being a small arcade already (about 8 things for big kids and 3 for little kids and the others: money sucking claw games) and only having half the games actually working... You will be disappointed. Put put is pretty standard, though! read more

We were there on a night when large cheese pizza was only $11. The crust was thin and lightly sauced with a good amount of cheese. Nothing spectacular so I think we got what we paid for. Shared a basket of fries that had a crunchy coating but they weren't seasoned. Maybe next time we try something else. Service was good. Enjoyed ice cream after dinner while listening to live music near the driving range read more

Do Not Plan on a nice Arcade experience At this place. Kids had $20.00 in quarters that they decided to use elsewhere due to the deplorable condition of the pinball, air hockey and probably all the other unmaintained games. Absolutely no positive vibe, the lone worker very defensive about the games (saying that they worked "this morning ") but did give us back two of our lost dollar. Do Not plan on going to the Arcade at this place It is simply a unmaintained cash cow for the owners. read more

I've known this place for many years and it's hard to describe how I feel about it. It has so much suburban charm - with it having many games for the family and food. It really is a kinda local mediocre Chuck E. Cheese. The place is huge with a driving range, mini putt, arcade, ice cream parlor, restaurant, car wash, and other games. Really great to watch sports and entertain the kids. But you know it's mediocre - which adds the charm. Mozzarella sticks were not crispy but that's fine. Pizza was actually not bad, just a little greasy but that's fine. This place does a lot and I think they're an example of quantity over quality and honestly I'm grateful that this place as an option exists. Sometimes I don't need to get the best chicken quesadilla - I just want to be at a local sports bar surrounded by energy and loud noises. I think they know they're not the epitome of quality in anything, and don't stress over it. Which adds to the charm again. They're a great local staple providing cheap jobs for teens and mid entertainment to families. And I'm okay with that! read more

Great place to watch a game , hit some golf balls or bring the kids!!! Food prices are reasonably priced and service is great!!! One of the better neighborhoods bars in town read more

Charlie the manager was very unprofessional and childlike. My kids were playing and having fun and laughing maybe a little too loud. Charlie the manager aggressively walks up and uses both hands to gesture and point at the "KIDS SUPERVISION" sign. He screams "I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE OBVIOUS." I am sorry but this is NOT a kid- friendly place. I have never experienced such class-less behavior with gesturing and raising his voice (and he is the manager). I will never be returning here. I will also be very vocal about how HORRIFIC THIS PLACE IS TO ALL MY FRIENDS ESPECIALLY THE MANY THAT WILL BE MOVING HERE NEAR FUTURE. I hope this makes it's way to CORPORATE OR OWNERSHIP. read more

So here's the thing. My wife and I took our four year-old grandson to Evies two Wednesdays ago to eat lunch. Spend some fun time play some games at truly what we always believed was one of the nicest locations in all of sarasota. Not so much this day, lunch was great, drinks are always top-notch at Evie's and they've got one of the best pizzas in sarasota not enough people know about. The trouble began in the game room first there was a family, father mother I assume, and there was 6 to 8 kids under the age of 12 running rough shot over the entire building. They wouldn't leave my grandson alone every time he got on a game they wanted to take it away from him. We're trying to be nice. The parents are doing absolutely nothing. Two of the games he played would not take the correct amount of money ,when we talk to the young lady upfront she came over and fixed it and give us a credit we had put three dollars in and she give us credit for one dollar. OK not a big deal yet so then we got $20 worth of quarters or tokens whatever you wanna call it one of these little hooligans stole a stack of quarters off the table we were at. Then They had a T ball inside, kicking it back-and-forth playing kickball in the room. My wife talked again to the two young ladies behind the ice cream counter. It's a game room. What do you want us to do about it? Really? How's about your job! not 10 minutes later my grandson gets hit in the head with this ball. I'll tell you what the hell I want you to do. I want you to take care of your damn business. If you think it's appropriate to put two teenagers in charge of a section of your restaurant, then give them the authority and the ability to take care of shit because this day they did not !You really don't want me taking care of it so we walked out ! And have not been back!After years of being our number one place to go I'm so pissed off,I don't think I'll ever go back. read more

The server was awesome and food tasted good, however; it took 2-3 HOURS to receive it! Also, the bathrooms were pretty gross. Whoever is in charge needs to get organized. It was a disaster. read more

First time here. Seems like a fun plan for family. Sand box outside. Arcade room. Cash is needed for the arcade room. Pool table. Back of Evies is the golf course. I came here for an event. I didn't really order food. I had pizza. The pizzas were good. read more

Started out a good evening celebrating a birthday, the food was good, atmosphere was good; however, it went from good to horrible in a matter of minutes... The checks were completely messed up, and when questioned about it, the waitress turned and started calling one person in our party names for questioning the bill. When another person in our party went inside and asked to speak to a manager, the entire waitstaff was overheard inside talking crap about our party. When the "manager on duty" came out, she promptly informed us that we could go... Because we asked for an explanation??? Having worked in the service industry, I know that there are ways to treat customers, and ways to speak to customers... there were many examples of how NOT to treat customers... Do NOT call your customers names, do NOT treat the customers disrespectfully, if not mature enough to handle questions when asked then customer service is NOT FOR YOU! read more

Evie's Tavern On The Range - Large Margherita (add ricotta) - Sports Bars Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This place has been given so many opportunities and they cannot ever get it right. $66 after fees for a $32 pizza, and two orders of wings. I ordered boneless wings, mild. I also ordered regular wings and requested extra crispy, overdone. Instead I get literally BURNT boneless wings and undercooked regular wings. why would anyone order overdone boneless wings? Is anyone using their brain? I call and I'm immediately told "Can you hold" and put on hold without even letting me answer. I'm done with this place. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Went to watch FSU vs Tenn. baseball and took 30 minutes to get 10 wings. Come on Evies. There wasn't even 40 people in the place. I get it when you have 200 kids playing football in the back and their parents are trying to eat, but 40 people 10 pm on a Friday???? read more

Evie's Tavern On The Range - Wings 10 pieces. Good wings but WTF? - Sports Bars Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

This is a good hangout spot with friends. They have plenty of TVs to watch sports, a nice outdoor bar, and driving range to show off your golf skills. I like going here because there are a few activities to choose from. They have quite a few options for food; something for everyone. I've tried a number of items on their menu, and the pizza and Stromboli are our favorite. While this is a solid choice any day of the week if you want a chill place to go, be sure to check out their daily specials to find your favorite day. read more

Evie's Tavern On The Range - Taco salad - Sports Bars Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I have given this place a try several times over the last two years. The bad: The service is still mediocre at best, regardless of where you sit. Inside, the staff talks to each other more than customers. Outside, the service is better but not much personality overall. The food is just OK. The chicken dip isn't worth it. It tastes like mushed chicken with taco seasoning and sour cream. The golf range is half sand and looks like no one has done anything to it in over a year. I have never seen a manager make any type of rounds to ask how things are going, help staff, or even help with changing channels on the TV. One thing is consistent... the staff has favorites for their customers, and they get served first. Staff also takes shots with each other behind the bar. This place has the potential to be awesome with a big overhaul in the day-to-day, but hard to think that will happen. The good: The outside venue is nice with several TV's and shaded areas with plenty of seating. Plenty of parking. The jalapeño poppers are pretty good. A decent selection of draft beers, though only one option from a local brewery. read more

Love this place! Great service and food. They always make you feel welcome! Best staff ever! read more

Stopped here for lunch. Had the Mediterranean salad with gyro meat. The gyro meat was horrible. Please stop serving it ASAP. Like rubber shoe leather and the salad was so basic. My hubbys job ordered pizza from this place and they said it was horrible, the dough wasn't cooked and it was like eating a paper plate. We don't recommend this place . read more

We live nearby and this is an underserved area in Sarasota Restaurant-wise. It's great for family, especially the pizza/ice cream parlor with arcade. As for the restaurant the food is merely okay and a bit hit or Miss. We eat here once or twice a year and live just a couple streets over. read more

The server we had was amazing! Stayed on top of everything, answered my millions of questions with ease and without missing a beat with answers. She was super sweet and understanding the whole time. 4-5 ye olds can be stressful but she handled it well. Thank you!!!! read more

They NEVER have the Potato Skins...you are a bar how can you not have potato skins??

What a rude nasty man named Charlie behind the bar went into tonight to have wings with my 9 yr old just like many times before and sat at the bar and was told my daughter couldn't eat at the bar? Funny that every time I have been there we have sat at the bar to eat with no issues. Charlie states it's a company policy? So drive another 5 minutes for better wings at hooters no issue sitting at the bar for anyone especially a lazy bartender who doesn't want to work read more

The pizza is good for Florida but this health inspection will keep me from ever ordering here again. Pkus I was not aware the family ran a Trump flotillas. Poor taste. https://data.heraldtribune.com/restaurant-inspections/sarasota/evie-tavern-on-the-range/sea6804436/3932039/?next=/restaurant-inspections/sarasota/ read more

Put ordered for wings for carryout. They were very good and will order again for sure. Only problem is when going over there for pick up limited parking as lots of folks there for golf. They have two spots for pick up orders. That is awesome when empty. To day the lot was full like last time but when I wanted to park in carry out spot. But no way as the driver for Evie's was there waiting for his next run. Asked why I had to park in last row and walk in to get my order. Got no answer when I asked Maybe next time I can get my wings were I can get a spot for carry out parking read more

Basic bar food. Service was alright, we ordered onion rings (which tasted like they were frozen, noting special) which they forgot, and we had to ask for them again. I ordered a mango margarita, but they brought me a regular one. I don't waste food, or tequila, and I like regular margaritas, so it wasn't a big deal. But it's nice to get what you order. Their burger was pretty good too. The fries were good. The Buffalo chicken wrap was good as well. Overall wouldn't go back as this place is nothing special. read more

Evie's is one of those places that has something for everyone. Expansive outdoor seating area, large indoor seating area, and a driving range, corn hole and mini golf! P.S. they have food! The jalapeno poppers were decently spicy, and they have a great selection of beers on draft. I'm a sucker for a Cigar City Jai Alai, and that is on tap, so, sold! Wraps, hoagies, protein bowls, pizzas, wings, calzones, and burgers....a gastro dream! They have salad too, but I think that may be for posterity? Lol. I digress. I decided to take myself to hog heaven and order the Evie's Signature Burger. The Evie's Signature Burger is a blend of Brisket, short rib, and chuck. Topped with poblano peppers, crispy onions and chipotle mayo. A nice play off of savory, spicy, and just plain ole grilled goodness. read more

Three of us having dinner inside last night and had a problem with a large palmetto bug on our table after our food was delivered. Had to grab a waiter that wasn't ours and he helped us move to another table. Disappointed that our server didn't even inquire why we had to move nor any manager came to apologize for the problem. We also told the next group of people that we're gonna sit at that table not too because of the large roach. Disappointed Customer read more

I went to Evie's tonight. Had the Hawaiian Pizza which was good. Flavorful crust, nice sauce give it an 9 out of 10. However, I will never go back. They have, and I am guessing 15 tv's. They are ALL on sports channels. So I look around the bar. There are 5 women at the bar. I ask the bartender to change one channel to news. She tells me she has got to ask the manager. He says "No". I am so tired of going to a bar by myself, a single woman, and not being represented in the tv showcase. I am not asking for Hallmark or Lifetime. Though, I do admit, some bars I notice do play Hallmark now. But I digress. These people when asked, refused to put on a gender neutral channel for their clientele that asked. I will never go here again. Women, beware. They discriminate against women at this establishment. (notice the picture has 3 identical screens) read more

Evie's Tavern On The Range - three televisions - Sports Bars Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

The food here is just average. If you need food, order, if not wait. The atmosphere here has a ton of potential to be really special. The driving range T boxes are very run down and the golf balls are mostly worn. Again, a lot of potential but an update/TLC would benefit and make this a better destination for the folks of Sarasota. Staff has done well the two times we have visited. read more

What's not to love about a bar, restaurant, outdoor tiki bar and driving range? I didn't take advantage of the other offerings like the mini golf, arcade and ice cream but the drinks and golf were awesome. Staff was friendly and the patrons were all friendly. I haven't tried out the food yet but I will be back. read more

The food is pretty good but you won't hear a thing if you're inside. At all. I don't know what it is about the acoustics in this place but as a 30 year old man, I've never questioned hearing aides more in my life as I did the times I ate dinner here. Regardless, the menu has a little something for everyone. They also have the state's most depressing mini golf course, but I won't hold the restaurant accountable for that. Oh and a car wash. And a driving range. And a strange game room. Come to think of it, the whole operation is a little far-reaching and strange, but hey, the food is good. read more

We had a great birthday party at Evie's Tavern on The Range. Hannah took excellent care of us the day of, even with the chaos of it being a few days post hurricane Ian. Colleen did a wonderful job communicating the preparations and the cost for the party with TOTALLY reasonable (even including the alcohol consumption). I would absolutely host another party at Evie's without a doubt! read more

I was treated so rudely by the female bartender. She was trying to rush me thru my order & not listening. I have brain damage so I am slow speaking. Then she asked me if I was a school teacher? My reply was "no". Her reply with a stink eye from hell, "Well, you coulda fooled me!" I will NEVER return to this location & will share my experience with friends & neighbors. A bad day? Don't take it out on me!! read more

My husband and I were in Sarasota looking for vehicles. Came across this place for quick bite. This was Sunday afternoon around 1:30/2:00 on 7/26/20. Sat outside at the bar area. The gentleman bartender was fabulous! Probably best service we've come across in a very long time. He made our visit 5 + stars! We accidentally ordered a philly pizza. Meant to get two sandwiches with fries. He took care of that for us. The food was good/average. Would come back again when in the area. read more
