Shrimp Rangoon
Michelle P.

Pop's Sunset Grill was absolutely amazing! We went to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and had the best experience from start to finish. We were seated right by the pier with a stunning view, which set the tone for a perfect evening. We started with piña coladas, and they were a solid 5/5--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of rum and not overly sweet. Our waiter recommended the shrimp rangoons, and wow... easily some of the best shrimp I've ever had. They were incredibly fresh and savory, and the combination of the sauce with the cream cheese was unique and delicious. For dinner, we ordered the Marker 10 tacos and the fresh catch of the day, which was grouper. The tacos were made with mahi mahi, which I asked to have blackened, and they were packed with flavor. I chose onion rings as my side. While for the price I do think an extra taco would've been nice, the freshness and quality of the fish definitely made up for it. The sauce on the tacos was spectacular--seriously so good. The grouper was the true star of the night. It was unbelievably fresh, full of flavor, and literally melted in your mouth. The coconut rice was rich and flavorful, and the vegetables were perfectly savory. We ordered a LandShark but received a Corona instead, but honestly, no complaints--we still enjoyed the beer! To finish, we shared the key lime pie. It was good and added the perfect touch of sweetness to end the meal, though it was a bit average compared to everything else.

The view! Tucked next to a Marina, on beautiful blue water, Pops. They have an extensive Gluten Free menu, the chicken quesadilla was terrific. My Grouper sandwich was delicious. Bonus that a Caesar Salad is a side option. Our Server, David was delightful. Waterside seating, Tiki Bar with TVs for sports, fire pit tables

Very fun place. Food was okay - I had the chicken breast sandwich with sweet potato (those were delish) - it was blackened but the sauce was sweet on top so a little bit of a conflict of flavors. One of my friends had a Caesar salad and said the lettuce was wilty. The other gals had the wraps and liked them. Listen, you come here for the atmosphere. They have great seating. It's bigger than it looks from the outside. Decorated super cute and beachy. Great gift shop

Cheeseburger with fries
Monika S.

Wonderful service from Nicolle in the tiki bar. Ambiance is great--live music started today, Friday night, at 5pm. The food is really very good. I again had the mango bbq shrimp. The fresh vegetables that came with it were amazing. Green beans with bacon and garlic mixed with some carrot/root vegetables. Loved it. My husband's burger and fries were delicious as was the peanut butter stack desert. Highly recommend!

Such a cute waterfront spot with fun tiki vibes and adorable decor throughout! The atmosphere was relaxed and perfect for hanging out by the water. I ordered the flatbread with the gluten free cauliflower crust, and honestly you could not even tell it was GF. Definitely one of the best gluten free flatbreads I've had! I was seriously raving about it the whole meal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Lobster mac & cheese.  Very tasty.
Ray C.

The tiki hut bar atmosphere is awesome at Pop's. This very spacious restaurant/bar has great views of the water. We had coconut shrimp, lobster mac & cheese, BBQ chicken wings, and a quesadilla. All were excellent. Our service was friendly and efficient. I look forward to dining again at POP's Sunset Grill.

A Tiki Bar. This is the second time I've driven 140 miles round-trip for brunch. There were six of us, and we scored a table by the river. For weekend brunch, they have two different kitchens. One does breakfast, then the other does lunch. My order came from the lunch side. I ordered a Swiss cheese burger with fries. Mrs. K ordered "The Joe" 2 over-hard eggs, American cheese, bacon, and mayo on toasted sourdough. For whatever reason, I wanted oysters. So I ordered six, and they tasted wonderful. The horseradish sauce was super potent. No desserts were ordered, and after a leisurely brunch, we headed back to Naples. I drove my red Camaro convertible. Since it is a rather obvious car, I punched the cruise control button and moved to the middle lane at 75 MPH all the way back to Naples. ,

Hot Honey Chicken Benedict with Homefries
Maddy G.

I was totally surprised to find this huge restaurant and gift shop tucked behind a marina in the tiny town of Nokomis. I was also totally surprised to find that the food has a high-end chef finish. My hot honey chicken was cooked to juicy perfection and the flavors were delicately balanced. My friend got the avocado toast which looked artfully arranged with lots of deluxe toppings. The prices were reasonable for the generous portions. We sat under a tiki woven grass roof overlooking the intercostal on a warm day and it was so pleasant. Our table has a built in fireplace in the middle of it, so I'm sure it's nice and cozy on a cool evening. The live music was a nice touch. He only played for a very short time, so I'm not sure if he comes and goes throughout the day.

If you're looking for a wonderful waterfront meal, Pop's Sunset Grill checks every box. From the moment we walked in at the dock-side location overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, the atmosphere felt welcoming, relaxed, and a little bit special. The décor and setting--indoor and outdoor spaces, tiki bar, fire-pit courtyard--create a real "Old Florida" feel that's rare and memorable. We visited as a group of 3, and the service was excellent -- the waitstaff were friendly, prompt, and genuinely seemed to care that we were enjoying ourselves. Drinks arrived quickly, questions were answered knowledgeably, and our table felt well-looked after. The food? Freshly prepared, flavorful, and well presented. Everything we tried was a win -- seafood, handhelds, sides -- all cooked with care. On top of that, the restaurant offers a meaningful military discount, which was a great touch and very much appreciated. Between standout food, service that delivers, and a setting that invites you to linger (especially with the water view and live music options) -- Pop's Sunset Grill earns a strong recommendation. Whether you're local or just stopping through, it's an excellent choice for dining out.

Great spot for grips to celebrate anything in a fun outside roofed setting walking distance to the beach. Limited menu but a great bar. Worth checking out if you are in Sarasota, FL.

My friend and I came to Pop's on Sunday night for a later dinner and to catch some football. We sat outside at the bar and our bartender Troy was great. He was very friendly and made conversation with us throughout our time there. We both had delicious drinks and ordered two of their salads. I had the Casey Key salad and added blackened salmon. For $28, I was worried that I'd be disappointed. The greens were fresh, there were plenty of toppings, and the blackened salmon was moist and flavorful. I left comfortably full. We browsed around the gift shop after the meal and as impressive as the selection was, the prices honestly scared us away.

When we first arrived at pops, we requested a table by the water. The wait for our table was not too long because we were entertained by their very expensive gift shop. We had to switch our table because the first one we found was in a hot ass room.. we finally got seated and ordering was a breeze. Food took around 15 minutes, which is amazing considering how packed that place was. I got the black bean quinoa burger with onions and American cheese... SO good! hell yes MUST TRY. It did fall apart, but that's a skill issue. Onion rings were tasty but I was not a fan of the sauce they came with.. ranch is better. The sweet tea was scrumptious.. only thing missing is some dessert. We looked on their website multiple times and it said there would be live music at 6. Never happened, at least where we were seated. Not happy about that. I give this place a 4/5 because the food was really yummy however, the seating, lack of live music, and small amount of room in that place has made my rating go down a little.

See all
