Food rating 4: The beet salad is wonderful, and the pita with hummus is very good too. We will try somewhere else next time.

Big menu, and all our choices provided us with exceptional food: the three dip special ( we had hummus, eggplant and torokafteri) with yummy pita; the chicken lemon soup was excellent; my spanakopita was light, crispy and fantastic, as was the accompanying side of Greek salad which had a delicious dressing. My husband ordered the seafood platter, and everything was well prepared, tasty and also light. We ordered some wine, an imiglykos, which was sweet and good. The table next to us ordered beer salad, lamb shank, and gyro platters which all looked mouth watering. Djonisi was an excellent server, very personable. The customers at the next table told us they were present when the restaurant opened two years ago, and that they moved out of the area, but to give this restaurant our business. This is definitely going to be our go to Greek restaurant from now on, and it should be yours too. (Also, ladies room had two large and very clean stalls).

I…read moredropped in after trying to find a local sit-down restaurant for lunch for a party of four on an early Saturday afternoon. The down home digs were homey and inviting and we chose to eat outside in the covered patio out front. The menu is interesting and varied; I'd state some of the food is county-style and some has a Cuban flair. My shrimp entree, which I chose to have, accompanied by rice and beans was very good. My daughter selected the chicken fingers and the portion was hearty and she devoured it. JR's has a special brunch menu and live music regularly so check out their website for information. Check this place out if you like charming-go frills places with great food.

Before I share my review, I want to start off by saying that this is my family's and my opinion…read moreonly. I'll start with the positives. The food was good. We all basically got various versions of chicken souvlaki. I got the horiatiki salad with souvlaki chicken. It was very flavorful and I loved all the veggies and olives plus delicious feta. My SIL and husband had the two versions of the souvlaki platter which they enjoyed. The chicken was very tender. My SIL didn't really care for the fries. My husband didn't like the vegetables being on top of the Greek potatoes that weren't very good. The primary issue was the woman who waited on us. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived. Unfortunately, we were not given menus which was frustrating and instead of the woman owning it herself, she blamed it on the new guy. We ordered and it took a while to get our food and the restaurant wasn't that busy. The woman kept complaining about various things and I assume most people could hear. Not really the vibe you want when trying to enjoy a meal with family you don't get to see very often. It also took a while to get the check and to go boxes. Everyone has a bad day and the holidays are stressful times. I hope it was just a one off.

Title: Urban Fresh in Sarasota: A Breakfast Sandwich Worth Waking Up For!…read more My girlfriend and I stumbled upon the Urban Fresh food truck during a morning drive, and I'm already planning our next visit. This isn't just a meal; it's a flavor-packed morning revelation. The star of the show? Without a doubt, the breakfast sandwiches. The ingredients were strikingly fresh--think perfectly cooked eggs, high-quality cheeses, and artisan-style bread that held everything together without being overly dense. The flavors were balanced, bold, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of delicious, satisfying breakfast that fuels your entire day with a smile. But the great food is only half the story. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were happy to chat, offered genuine recommendations, and their positive energy added a real sunshine-to-your-day vibe. It's clear they love what they do, and that passion translates directly to the customer experience. A quick pro-tip: Don't miss the coffee truck parked next door! Grabbing a expertly made latte or cold brew to pair with your sandwich from Urban Fresh is the ultimate power combo for a perfect Sarasota morning. Final Bite: Urban Fresh delivers an exceptional breakfast experience that's fast, fresh, and full of heart. We left utterly impressed and already craving our next sandwich. If you're in Sarasota and looking for a standout morning bite with outstanding service, this food truck is a must-visit. We can't wait to go back!

I'm already a fan of playa bowls and their awesome smoothies so this time, we had the Pink Pitaya Smoothie (pitaya and coconut milk) and Dolce Latte Smoothie (banana, chocolate protein, peanut butter, coconut milk). The dolce smoothie was delicious, loved how it had the drizzled pb on the sides so anytime you wanted a bit of a pb flavor as you sipped, you just need to guide your straw to it. So good! Love when smoothie places have not just whey protein but plant protein both vanilla and chocolate. Because we all know, vanilla is just vanilla :) Great place, makes you feel fresh and tropical when you walk in and I can't wait to try a smoothie the bowl next time!
