I have been here twice: Both times had live music, I order the Fish & Chips & it's big enough to split with two people ease! Very good and the old fashioned style chips that come with it are excellent, in my opinion! I get the Mac & cheese as a side, it's also delicious! It's located in a private cozy setting surrounded by nature. Nice break from your every day life! Relax, have fun, kick back and enjoy! I sure do!!!
A great place to relax and spend a sunny afternoon or evening when they have music outside. I had the chicken tacos they were little dry but honestly I don't think you go there for the food you go there for the ambiance. Most everything on the menu is fried.
Best smoked wings I have ever had! Not over cooked, just enough smoke and fried to crispy perfection. The best Old Florida feel with the Myakka river as a back drop, mature Oak's and Palms, live music and a great Florida menu to match the atmosphere! Also, Ralph and the entire staff were polite, professional and despite being super busy, they showed pride in what they have helped create and maintain! Born in Sarasota, I'm sorry it's been so long Snook Haven and WE will be back!
Apparently, this is THE place - introduced to us by a northern visitor - for tourists and snowbirds to hang out with the local rednecks. I'm being totally serious. 😜 While it was crowded on our Sunday visit, the long line to order moved quickly, the food came came to us in the same manner. There weren't enough tables, but definitely enough seats, so we ate family reunion style using our laps to dine. Everyone raved about their food, myself included, and I only ordered three of my favorite Southern sides - red beans & rice, collards, and coleslaw. My husband said these were the best chicken wings he's had since a trip to Maine 20 years ago (and he orders them everywhere). Pulled pork, gator bites, a cheeseburger, and the fried fish sandwich were other menu items ordered, and all were really flavorful and satisfying. The homemade potato chips were perfect. The band played typical classic rock, and there were enough bikers with 'interesting' patches on their vests to be entertaining while people watching. Unless, of course, you were too busy drinking and showing off your lack of skills on the dirt dancefloor, then you might have missed those "I ♥️ Boobies" declarations altogether. 💁🍻
Great place to go back to old Florida. Think outdoor smoke house offering all sorts of seafood and alligator to eat.... swamp oak, river cruises and a live band on weekends. Come early leave full!
