Both were toasty and delicious. I had a six ounce Experiments batch 12 IPA- I was hoping for a small flight of a couple beers- but they only had 6 ounce or more. Many of their beers are on tap but a few are can only. So there's not a lot of options available to try. They also have wine and cider for those who can't do beer. My friend had the 3 day weekend pale ale. Afterwards, we split a can of their Ampd Imperial IPA. I enjoyed all of them. It's a large place- plenty of seating at a high top, bar top, or tables. It seems kid friendly. Parking is easy- there is a plaza shopping lot. Bathrooms are clean. Service is good!

Charlotte County Girlfriends Take on Oak & Stone of Wellen Park!…read more Today, Wednesday, October 7, 2026, over 30 of our Charlotte County Girlfriends (CCGF) gathered at the wonderful Oak & Stone of Wellen Park for another delightful afternoon of friendship, fabulous food, and exceptional service! Arriving at noon, our girlfriends were warmly welcomed by Dan, our server, who went above and beyond to ensure everyone was well taken care of. From delicious cocktails and tempting appetizers to an impressive variety of entrées, there was something to satisfy every appetite! Our ladies enjoyed an assortment of delicious pizzas, topped with everything from fresh arugula and spinach to sausage and a variety of other mouthwatering combinations. Others opted for fresh, flavorful salads topped with chicken or salmon, while the wings special was a definite hit, cooked to perfection and prepared with each guest's preferred flavor and style. The handhelds and sandwiches were equally impressive! From fresh, moist turkey sandwiches piled high with bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes to a delicious Reuben served on marble rye, our girlfriends certainly had plenty of tempting choices. The verdict? Happy girlfriends, satisfied appetites, and plenty of reasons to come back! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and Dan's attentive, outstanding service made our experience even more memorable. Oak & Stone of Wellen Park is certainly no stranger to CCGF. This was not our first visit, and it certainly won't be our last! We continue to appreciate the inviting ambiance, wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, and welcoming hospitality that make this establishment such a pleasure to visit. A BIG thank-you to Dan and the Oak & Stone team for taking such wonderful care of our Charlotte County Girlfriends. We look forward to returning for another fabulous lunch! Great food, great service, and even greater girlfriends! That's how we do it, CCGF style!

People say that this is the best burger in Venice, but the meat didn't have much flavor. I felt it was kind of overpriced for what it was imo as well. Also you can taste the oil wasn't good anymore on the fried food, and the batter on the onion rings also wasn't seasoned :/ Our server was also mid haha she didn't warn us about any upcharges on anything, we asked for ranch and didn't realize it was an upcharge of $.75 each!

I ordered the Classic Monkey Burger on a gluten-free bun and it was absolutely fantastic! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious, and the gluten-free bun was one of the best I've had. A WINNER FOR ME! ;) The fries were amazing too, and my fiancé loved his sandwich (I can't remember exactly which one he ordered.. lol! but he definitely approved!) The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Oh and one last important thing... the ranch is ranch connoisseur approved!

Our first table wobbled so badly that we asked to move to another nearby. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills Old Florida atmosphere. Plenty of fans kept the air moving in the heat. Our server took our drink and food orders promptly, but we later had to flag her down for refills and extra napkins. What We Ordered * Chef's Ceviche: Octopus with lime juice, tomato, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, olive oil, and avocado, served with tortilla chips. * Harbour Island Bahama Mama: A half-pound burger topped with pineapple, mozzarella, and teriyaki, served on a toasted brioche bun with lettuce and tomato. * Maine Lobster Roll: Lobster with tarragon aioli, mixed greens, and tomato on a brioche roll, served with a side salad. Food and Overall Experience The Chef's Ceviche was fresh but unremarkable, and the portion felt small. The burger, however, was excellent--cooked perfectly to medium-rare, with the pineapple adding a flavorful twist that elevated the dish. The coleslaw and lobster roll were both good, though neither stood out. The side salad was fresh and satisfying. Overall, the burger was the clear highlight of the meal.

The server was great , I tried to get one blackened and one fried, that was a no, he did ask. The fish was very good and the batter didn't overpower the flavor of the cod. I was also impressed with the green beans , amazing flavor combo. The mac - cheese was also better than most places with a creamy texture and smooth cheesy flavor. Day 2 - I came back for the Guinness Stew, I was alone night one with the Aussies and it was represented as a large portion. Small Brussel Sprout appetizer was a good start. Sriracha BBQ Meatballs were amazing hit. Very flavorful and I will make these at home The Brie was a miss. Not much Brie lots of sweetness, minimal chips and a price tag that made it very much not worth it. The Guinness Stew was lackluster. A small sourdough round with some stew in it. It was missing that rich Guinness flavor and thick broth I love and salt didn't fix missing layors I was excited to taste. The price made this dish a huge miss. We talked about that the rest of the night. 2 Prime Rib dinners medium rare were tender, not very well seasoned, sometimes its good to leave the meat the star, we had AuJus and Horseradish for added flavor. More mac - cheese , not very warm, but good nonetheless. Peas and carrots, were okay. The busser spilled the Aujus on my boyfriend's lap cleaning up the dishes, no one said anything, I'll get that stain out. They were out of Apple Cobbler, sad face there. They did take it off of our bill and rerun the card. The manager came out to explain the way that works, pending charges and all, that was a plus. The warm chocolate cake we also ordered was rich and moist, it had some whip cream with it, next time we would add ice cream if ordered again. Not sure I would go back here, our bill was $167 dollars plus tip ( Our waiter was solid) = $207
