We went at a busy time - we ended up waiting for about an hour. The hostess was sitting down with a clipboard, so we nearly walked right by her. We were seated and the waitress was very helpful, giving her recommendations. We really enjoyed the food, and the cold brew coffee. It seems like a hidden gem that locals know about, with people saying their goodbyes to the chef by name when they left. read more

Went with 2 friends this morning and it took 45 minutes after being seated to get pancakes. This is typical and I'll never go back.

This is our favorite breakfast spot. Tony and his crew are all hard workers. The food is always unique and delicious! Krissy is on top of things. She greets everyone with a smile and has a great personality. We enjoy everyone there. read more

Stopped in for breakfast, and upon advice of the waitress, we chose the corned beef hash and another dish with their pork - eggs Benedict with pulled pork. Both amazing! The service was great, and the view of the airport was a nice bonus for us. read more

The food was great! I am gluten free so sometimes eating out can be a challenge. They had no problem accommodating me, I could hear the server tell the chef about my allergy which is always comforting! Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive! We will definitely go back! read more

This is always a MUST when we visit Venice. The Crabby Eggs Benedict is my choice while the rest of my family loves the stuffed French toast. The food and service is always on point. Sitting at the counter and interacting with Tony is the cherry on top! read more

The food and atmosphere was good. as well as the service. However, we were gifted a$50 gift certificate and spent approximately $35. They were unable to process the gift card and asked if we could stop back when the manager was there. We did several times and never got our balance back!! We even asked for some to go food to compensate for the $15 and were told NO. Never will go there again and horrible customer service read more

After reading the reviews, decided to try it out. The little out of the way places sometimes are the best! It did not disappoint!! Husband had the meat lovers omelette and home fries, I had sausage patties poached egg and grits. The omelette was fluffy and large even had pulled pork in it and the home fries were delicious. My poached egg was done to perfection and the grits were creamy and delicious! All the food going out looked amazing!! All the staff was friendly and very attentive. We did have to wait for a table as obviously the word has gotten out but it's good here. We definitely will be back. read more

Nice hole in the wall lunch spot. A little pricey for a cheeseburger an iced tea and a bowl of soup, but isn't everything pricier these days? Good Ambience considering it sits at the side of the airport entrance. Will probably come back to try other stuff. Service was great! read more

Every time I eat here it gets better and better. It's definately a hidden gem and should be in the top 5 list of venices restaurants. The chef is a FaNTAStIC cook. Best breakfasts ever. Lunches are primo . The fish tacos are a nice slab of Mahi laying across the entire taco with the special roumalade. The ambiance and decor is just perfect. read more

Hands down best breakfast in Venice! The chef and staff are amazing. The St Lucian quesadilla is packed with meat, eggs, veggies and FLAVOR! The omelette was also a favorite. Plantains were perfectly fried. That hot sauce is the cherry on top. I need some at home LOL. Not to mention, who doesn't enjoy watching airplanes take off while they eat? Highly recommend this awesome restaurant for breakfast/lunch! read more

Suncoast Cafe - St Lucian quesadilla & meat omelette. AMAZING!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, Florida

I came back here and went with the burrito veracruzano. It came with scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, green peppers, tomato, onions, and cheese wrapped in a grilled tortilla. It came with a side of salsa and sour cream too. I also opted for a side fruit salad, which was very fresh. The burrito itself was great, just a tad messy. The combination of all the fillings went well with one another. I also tried gator sausage, which was a special offered that day. It had a slight kick to it and tasted similar to a traditional pork sausage. The biscuits and gravy was sampled too and it was solid. The gravy was hearty and appetizing. read more

this place was great for breakfast on Sunday, a small place with 5 waitresses. our waitress was Shellie, she was very pleasant with a great sense of humor. Started with Oatmeal which was a tad undercooked, but some milk added solved that problem. My wife went with a breakfast sandwich which she loved and I had the bacon and eggs which came with 5 slices of bacon, you never see that. Owner/chef was a friendly man talking with customers and waving to all as they ate. the entire staff thanked us for coming. read more

Sitting at an airport restaurant is great if you love aviation. If you love good food too, then this is the place. Try the corned beef hash. Rumor has it that they corn and smoke their brisket. It is the best I've ever tasted. Even when avgas pops $8.00 a gallon, I'll fly in from Tampa just for the food. The reggae in the background pays tribute to the chef owner's heritage. read more

Fun atmosphere and good food! Was only there for breakfast but would recommend it! Corn beef hash is great!

I've lived in Venice for over three years. Every time we drive to the beach I see the sign for Suncoast cafe. Today we decided to finally try it out . One word comes to mind DELICIOUS!! Definitely worth the wait . The staff was friendly and the food was amazing the yummy smell slaps you in the face when you open the door. Seriously I wanted to order everything on the menu.. lol anyway I ate the Cuban sandwich and it was the best I've ever had .. I know what an authentic Cuban sandwich taste like since I grew up in Elizabeth, New Jersey where it was 99.9% Cuban so I can say this is BETTER than the authentic Cuban from Cuba.. take my word for it and let me know!! You'll thank me later read more

Very diner like, at Venice airport, service was fast and efficient. I had the biplane, I really enjoyed the sweet cream pancakes, a nice touch. My girlfriend had a biscuit w/ a side of sausage gravy, WOW Yummy. Very reasonably priced. read more

A good breakfast Suncoast Café is located inside the Venice Airport. A small friendly place with 6 tables and a lunch counter. I stopped in shortly after they opened for breakfast. My dish of choice today was their Meat Lover's Omelet, a ham, sausage and bacon omelet with cheese, with a side of home fries and toast. It was a good breakfast, but then I could say that about most places I visit. While I didn't have as an amazing meal as most seem to from reading other reviews, it was a problem-free visit with good food, and to me that is always worth 5 stars. read more

Great food and great atmosphere. Its at the airport!!! Very relaxing and the best breakfast. A little hidden gem. read more

Cute little place. Breakfast stops at 11 which was a disappointment. So we had lunch. Waitress says everything is good and pushed the Cuban sandwich. It was $15 and the amount of meat was disappointing. Also got the burger which was not bad. But if I'm spending over $10 for a burger it shouldn't be a patty. Worth a try. read more

If you fly, land your plane here. If you drive, stop your car here. If you walk, run, bike; stop here. What a great breakfast. Tony, you and your staff do it right and delicious. Great service, great flavor, great atmosphere. The menu has so many options and the meal was so great it's no wonder there was a line. In regards to the line, you can call ahead; but the wait wasn't long as the meals are cooked quickly. Loved the aviation decor and the windows looking out to the tarmac. Definitely a return visit in the future. read more

The food was good. The burgers are large, juicy and accompanied by freshly fried house chips. I ordered mine without a bun, my wife had hers with a bun. She decided to discard the bun since it was pretty soggy from the juicy burger. When the cook saw that she wasn't eating her bun, he scolded her for not ordering it with no bun and tried to shame her by snapping that children are starving while she is wasting food. Then he began berating his staff and dropping F- bombs behind the counter. His food isn't good enough to endure his harassment while eating there. We won't be back. read more

I was waiting for my husband to fly into the airport from Mississippi. I thought it would be nice to sit with my mother and aunt and watch him taxi in and eat lunch. I was told we could not as all in the party we're not there. I get it..... it's a small restaurant. We walked next door to the FBO and immediately were asked if we were waiting for the restaurant. I said we were not. The vibe between the restaurant and VBO is definitely bad. One my husband landed we went back to the restaurant and walked in. There was a vacant 4 top table and no other customers. I was told we couldn't have the table because some man was getting his father out of the car. At this point I decided this place would not get my business. Upon leaving I scanned the parking lot and there was not anyone getting his father out of the car. I hope they lost his business and they definitely lost mine. As far as friendliness goes this place sucks. I can't comment on the food as I did not and will not ever eat there. read more

Maybe the best kept secret in Venice, but based on the steady stream and manageable wait time, the secret is getting out. We had a delightful delicious Sunday brunch... Try the Brunch Burger! And the chocolate chip pancake too! Debbie (owner and hosted) kept us informed until we got seated and Debbie our server was great! We never felt rushed and can't wait to go back. Parking is easy. Oh... the mango tea is yummy! enJOY read more

New to town, first time in. Shay did not lead me astray (sorry for the bad pun). She recommended the biscuits and gravy and they were fantastic!! This is a new find for us and Shay is the best!! I'd say "everyone come".....but then my seat would be taken. read more

Chef Tony has a great menu. Love this place. The food and service are always professional, prices reasonable.

Love love love this place and the atmosphere! Food was fantastic and moderately priced.

Located in the Venice FL Airport, this place is a gem! Chef Tony is a genius. Caribbean cuisine with an American twist. Specials on specials on specials. Some of the best Caribbean style pulled pork I have ever had! Flavorful, juicy, and tender. My friends ordered the Island Pork Platter (same pulled pork as the sandwich, but with Caribbean rice, plantains and yucca) and the Caribbean burrito with conch. We left fat and happy! read more

Wow.....thank goodness I found this perfect spot. The food is immaculate and always on point. I have yet to try something that I didn't crave the following day. Chef Tony is a master of his craft. Try the eggs Benedict, corned beef hash or Cuban sandwich as those are my three favorites. The soups are always delicious as well. If you're still reading this, STOP! Get to Suncoast Cafe to please your belly. read more

Great little breakfast joint at the Venice airport. Husband loved the thick cut French toast and I thoroughly enjoyed my streak and eggs. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the steak was awesome. read more

We were excited to travel a little distance to get to this restaurant at the Venice airport. The staff was very friendly and the food was exceptionally delicious! It's hard to find good pecan pancakes and these definitely rated an A+. read more

Suncoast Cafe - The food was awesome. We will definitely be there again soon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, Florida

Nope. Said it all in my tip. Heyday, if there was one, is passed. You should pass it over as well. Prices are inflated for diner fare, perhaps as it is meant to serve the leisure pilots with a bit of extra dosh on them. Service disappeared after we placed our order, and reappeared only to deposit the dishes. I had to send my dish back, as it contained feta cheese that had unintentionally gone over to bleu. Head into town, you will find better fare. read more

Suncoast Cafe - Sad fruit cup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Venice, Florida

Breakfast was fabulous. This is a small restaurant but they have great social distancing in place. Each table has dividers from the other. People aren't allowed to wait inside if there isn't an open table. I had the farmer's omelet and it was loaded with spinach, tomatoes, cheeses and bacon. The side of bacon was also awesome. Now, I'd skip the grits. I'm a southern girl and the grits left something to be desired. I'd definitely go back! read more

You will absolutely love this joint! Chef Tony puts together a mean breakfast bringing with him some Caribbean flare! I had Cuban breakfast which was phenomenal! Homemade Cuban pork, scrambled eddy's, cheese and refried beans within a grilled tortilla. Only thing that would've made it better would be few plantains inside. St. Lucian breakfast and Greek omelette were also hits! Great atmosphere and staff bring this place to life. Make sure you make this a priority during your trip to Venice! read more
