What a beautiful surprise we found today in search for dinner on the water. The cocktails were refreshing, dinner was delicious with a large variety to choose from, dessert was worth every calorie and the sunset water views was priceless. The service was superb with Sophie as our server. Great bands both inside and outside to compliment the relaxing ambiance. Will definitely be back!

Boisterous fun sprawling spot on the waterfront. If you love neighborhood restaurants, this is the place for you. Locals and snow birds both love to hang out here. The menu is great and extensive for both food and drinks. The courtyard had an update and looks great with sun shades, pergolas and new lighting. The place is so popular, you need to get here early to find a parking space. A few hours in Paradise with fresh seafood and fun cocktails is worth the wait!

We always stop by here on our way through this area . We all enjoy their breakfast but the cold smoked bacon is on point. The views are great it’s right on the water and the water is beautiful right here. You cannot go wrong with this spot it is a must if you haven’t been. For lunch we get the cauliflower crusted Pizza and it’s a must have as well.

This local hangout was recommended to us. It's obvious that is a favorite place to go due to the fact that there were very busy at 1:00 in the afternoon on a Sunday. Still no wait line. We were quickly seated on the canal side where they had the isenglass down. It was a sunny day but cool. We were quickly served water by our waiter. He offered some suggestions and we had a hot toddy and a cappuccino warm us up. I ordered the grouper sandwich blackened which was a little disappointing to me as it should have had more flavor than what it did. My wife ordered the nachos and they put so much queso on them that they overwhelmed the chips, making them soggy. I would just order the queso on the side. It was a large portion of chips for sure but there's no way you can eat them all before they get soggy. It's noisy in there so if you have a hard time hearing this might not be the place to go.

Awesome staff! Morgan S. Was so helpful and so accommodating to make our meal as plant passed and fresh as possible. Drinks were on time and strong. Kinda sucked when the rain started and we were under the mesh, but we were offered inside seating. The live band was great and not too loud. Prices reasonable and patrons were friendly. Absolutely would return. Breakfast sounds intriguing!

I always believe in giving credit where it is due. I'm in the area on a business trip and last weekend my wife was visiting with our youngest daughter, she found this restaurant on Google Maps and decided to place a pickup order. The food we ordered was so good I just picked up another order a few minutes ago. I am a huge fan of bacon egg and cheese sandwiches as well as buttery grits. It takes a lot to impress me with these items and I have to say, this is probably the best bacon egg and cheese sandwich I have ever had and the grits are absolutely amazing. The person who took my order was very friendly as well as everyone who greeted me when I was picking up. Highly recommend, definitely check this place out when you are in the area. And even if you're not in the area, it would be worth the drive.

My wife and I and some friends had a wonderful late lunch/early dinner at Pop’s yesterday afternoon. The key to it all I must say was the service. Our waitress Crystal was extremely attentive. She made some good food and drink suggestions when asked and we loved all of it. I had the blacked shrimp tacos and we had several frozen and rocks drinks, all fantastic! Thank you Crystal for the wonderful service and suggestions… we’ll be back to see you soon!

9/23 (2nd review) Pop's Sunset Grill is our go-to spot for brunch or drinks, and it never disappoints. What makes it even more special is that we arrived by boat, which added an extra layer of charm to our experience. There's something uniquely enjoyable about docking and dining with a waterfront view.With two different kitchens and chefs, it's clear that there's room for cross-learning. The breakfast/brunch chef's skills are top-notch, and the dinner chef could learn a thing or two from them.Speaking of breakfast, Pop's "Sunrise" Grill menu is ridiculously good, and the specials are simply out of this world. During our recent visit, I tried the Maple Cinnamon Waffle with Candied Bacon, and it was delicious. However, my dining companion opted for the Southwest Chicken Chimichanga, and it was absolutely outstanding – so much so that it made me regret my choice!While the food is fantastic, it's worth mentioning that the hostess provided awesome service. On the flip side, our waiter was a bit lacking in the personality department.Overall, what keeps us coming back to Pop's are the fantastic atmosphere, great drinks, and breathtaking views. And when it comes to breakfast, it's always a hit. Pop's Sunset Grill is a must-visit for any brunch enthusiast, and arriving by boat only enhances the whole experience!9/9 (1st review) Pop's Sunset Grill in Nokomis, Florida offers a fantastic breakfast and brunch experience with an array of over-the-top specials, particularly on weekends and especially on holidays. The breakfast menu is truly a highlight, featuring a diverse range of delicious options to kickstart your day. 5 stars for the morning menu!The atmosphere at Pop's is undeniably fun, creating a welcoming environment for diners. Plus, the drinks here are top-notch, adding to the overall enjoyment of your visit. Pop's Sunset Grill is not just about its exceptional menu; it also offers stunning views and unforgettable sunsets. The restaurant's prime location, accessible by boat, adds a unique and delightful dimension to your dining experience. Whether you arrive by land or water, you're in for a treat as you soak in the breathtaking views and enjoy the beautiful sunsets that make this place truly special. The service is very good as well. It's the perfect spot to savor a meal while taking in the natural beauty of Nokomis, Florida.However, it's worth noting that the dinner experience at Pop's Sunset Grill may not match the same level of excellence found during breakfast and brunch. This is the reason I took one star off. While the atmosphere remains lively, and service is great, the dinner menu might leave something to be desired for some diners. Nevertheless, if you're looking for a great spot to start your day or enjoy a lively evening with good drinks, Pop's Sunset Grill is definitely worth a visit.Parking: There is a lot across the street with extra parking. There’s usually a golf cart ready to take you from the lot to the front door and back if you need.Kid-friendliness: Incredibly family friendly restaurant. Kids will love the wildlife that can be spotted and the views of the intracoastal.
