    Opened in 2015, the Siesta Sun Deck is a restaurant and observation deck overlooking the Siesta Key Public Beach, winner of the title of the number one beach in the country in 2011 and best beach in the U.S. by Trip Advisor in 2020. The casual, counter service restaurant serves burgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers, fries, snacks, beer, wine, and frozen drinks. It was closed when I visited but you could still use the tables if you brought your own food. There are also restrooms at the top that were clean. You can reach the top of the deck either by stairs or a wheelchair accessible ramp. Once you make the climb you are rewarded with a beautiful view of the beach on one side and an overlook of the playground on the parking lot side. On my way down I spotted a pair of really cool poured cement lounge chairs at the base of the deck, a cute place to take a rest. It's worth the climb to the top of the deck to get the best view of the best beach.

    Cute little beach concession stand with really good food on Siesta Beach. We ordered a Fire Cracker Shrimp Wrap and a Blackened Chicken Sandwich. Both were delicious and hit the spot. The fries were extra good.

    I have been coming here since I was 3 months old. My humans have been coming here for the last 10…read moreyears. This is always a great meal on the water with a casual feel and stunning views. This time we didn't see dolphins but plenty of ospreys, pelicans, and other cool birds. I am always treated like royalty here and Courtney did the same. Courtney made sure we had all our drinks and the food was perfect. My human companions got the Admiral plate, Island Tacos, and a cheeseburger. Everything cooked perfect and plenty to eat. I of course got a cheeseburger (rare) and green beans. Perfectly cooked and I also managed to score some mahi from one of my humans and it was also delicious. The decor is excellent and gives off that beachy feel vibe. It's always nice that dogs are welcome. I have to say this was one of my favorite visits here. Met an out of state family and had a nice visit with a young fella by the name of Rocco. He gave me his frisbee from his kid's meal. That's the kind of people Old Slaty Dog attracts. Really cool special people and dogs. Well done Old Salty Dog and Courtney!! Highly recommend this for locals and if you are visiting from out of state you have to make this a must go to place!! I didn't do such a good job of taking picture of my humans food as I was busy playing with Rocco-oh well next time :)

No issues at all with the service. The two stars are for the food... I ordered the Firecracker Wrap with deep fried chicken, my partner ordered the hot dog and shrimp appetizer. My chicken was bland and mushy inside of the wrap, the side of coleslaw it came with was a 3 bite portion. My partner's hot dog was also bland, absolutely not worth the price. If quality and flavor matter to you, I would 100% skip this spot.

    Very convenient food stand located right on the beach…read more If you didn't bring a SINGLE snack like us to the beach and skipped breakfast (I know I know, WHO does that?) then you'll literally be the happiest human to know this place exists. We were in the mood for an easy beach day and didn't want to make a million stops and pack all the things. Knowing this place was around made our beach day so easy. Pros: breakfast food is available until 11am, they have all kinds of snacks, drinks, food - from burgers to nachos, quesadillas to grilled cheese. Cons: it's just a fast food spot, nothing super special about the food, the staff is half nice half stand off ish, the in house canned margaritas are just artificial lemonade. What I love the MOST about this place is you can place an order online ahead of time. Even better, you can place an order right from your beach chair and then meet at a specific meet point and they'll deliver it to you. Super cool and convenient especially with the extra long walk to their stand. I genuinely love the home made margarita cans but it would be nice if they actually put some tequila in it. Sadly, you do pay for a cocktail and get an extra light version of it.

    Greetings! With me,…read moreyou'll always get what I think is the best of the best, and if I'm lucky, the best of the best of what you would never find on your own unless someone told you to go there. Out-of-the-way places that are unexpected treasures are my favorite places to find myself . For today's review, let me invite you to the unusual yet very ordinary locale that is Siesta Beach Sand Pavilion. First, we start with a word about Siesta Beach. It is an award-winning stop noted for its most define quartz sand in the country, if not the world. Add to a tremendous location Sarasota surrounding environment makes CSO a hotspot for beach, lovers, family, getaways, and people watching extraordinaire. A special note about Siesta Key Beach Drum Circle's that take place here at sunset Sunday nights. The sand pavilion serves up some unexpectedly good comfort foods. The main feature for me that I always plan to have whenever I'm in Sarasota is the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich. Fresh fish, great seasoning made to order perfect every time. The sandwich is served up on a great bun with lettuce, tomato and onion the condiments that you might care for are available at your request. There's nothing vin ordinaire about the sandwich they serve. Honorable mention besides the blackened fish sandwich are the chicken tenders and other great comfort foods. You also have a variety of great cold beer choices, and access to sheltered seating and washrooms to give yourself a well-deserved break from the sun for your time at Siesta Key Beach. The sand Pavilion is staffed by friendly, efficient staff that always seem to add a touch of local charm. The Santa pavilion at Siesta Key Beach is a bit off the beaten path away from the mainland, and can be very crowded about any given time that the weather might be nice enough for a stop at the beach. Take my word, it's worth it every time! Until next time...tk
