Sarasota Beach Eats

If there's one thing the Sarasota and Bradenton areas offer no shortage of, it's great beach views. And if there's another thing you'll find plenty of, it's great restaurants. 

So if you happen to be looking for a spot that has both, you're in luck! These are our real estate agents' favorite places to grab a bite near the beach in Sarasota and Bradenton.

  • The Old Salty Dog - 1601 Ken Thompson Pkwy, Sarasota, FL 34236
    Located on City Island overlooking Sarasota Bay, The Old Salty Dog offers a great waterfront view to go along with its tasty Golf-influenced British pub fare. The restaurant is just a short drive from these Sarasota homes for sale and is known for its famous beer-battered hot dogs and traditional fish and chips. The peel-and-eat shrimp and Caribbean jerk tacos are great too, and the Old Salty Dog offers charming indoor and outdoor dining areas. 

  • O'Leary's Tiki Bar & Grill - 5 Bayfront Dr, Sarasota, FL 34236
    You'll find classic tiki bar vibes and a great view of the water at O'Leary's Tiki Bar and Grill, a laid-back spot in Sarasota's Bayfront Park. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it's a perfect spot to sip a piña colada or margarita while you enjoy the beach scenery and warm Gulf breeze. They serve a great selection of classic burgers, dogs, sandwiches, and wraps, making it a very kid-friendly spot as well. 

  • Ridley's Porch - 1234 Benjamin Franklin Dr, Sarasota, FL 34236
    Nestled in the Sarasota Ritz-Carlton, Ridley's Porch is a great place to enjoy outstanding locally-inspired meals in an elegant yet casual setting. From small plates like Key West plank shrimp and crab croquettes to entrees like spiny lobster tail and 12 oz. prime NY strip steak, everything is prepared fresh to perfection. They serve excellent craft cocktails as well, and the dining area offers a spectacular sunset view, making it the ideal spot to relax with an evening drink. 

  • Caddy's Bradenton - 801 Riverside Dr. E, Bradenton, FL 34208
    Popular among locals and tourists alike, Caddy's Bradenton offers casual waterfront dining in a colorful setting. The vibe here is as welcoming and unpretentious as it gets, and dining on Caddy's outdoor patio puts you within footsteps of the beach. The menu at Caddy's is packed with classics like burgers and nachos as well as seafood, including tropical snapper and grouper dinners, and the restaurant is a stone's throw from these Bradenton homes for sale.

  • Floridays Woodfire Grill & Bar - 12332 Manatee Ave W, Bradenton, FL 34209
    The seafood-centric menu at Floridays Woodfire Grill & Bar has a lot to offer, and the restaurant's cozy location overlooking Anna Maria Sound makes it a great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. An updated version of an old-school Florida fish house, Floridays' offerings range from ever-changing seasonal fresh catch to shrimp burgers, Gulf oysters, and Louisiana-style seafood boil. With a postcard-like view and live music most weekends, it's a place you'll want to come back to again and again.

  • Smoquehouse - 1701 Gulf Dr. N, Bradenton Beach, FL 34217
    Located on Anna Maria Island within walking distance of the surf at Bradenton Beach, Smoquehouse is one of the best barbecue joints in the area. They offer a small but carefully curated menu of handmade sandwiches, including smoked chicken, brisket burgers, pulled pork, and Korean beef, served with outstanding hand-cut fries. They even offer a killer vegetarian BBQ sandwich, as well as a great selection of ice-cold local beers and soft drinks.
