Outstanding!

--My family goes here a couple of times every year when we are visiting. We used to go mainly for the atmosphere but the last few times, the food has been OUTSTANDING! So we now go for the food AND the atmosphere (not to mention it's locally owned).

I encourage everyone to try the BURGERS - they are FANTASTIC! The manager told us they grind their meat every day now to keep it fresh! My mom tried the homemade pot pie and asked for the recipe! She thought it was the best! They also have fresh seafood. I like the fact that they carry Jai Alai on tap...I like dark beers. For those that want lighter brews...they have them too. Oh, and lots to look at (TVs). Good job Joe Cracker!

Just off of Rt 41, but it feels like you aren't...

--We have been here a number of times now, and it is a good non chain place to go In PT C, esp if you are at the mall as it is a good alternative to the food court.

The boys get pizza and burgers, husband and I get shrimp, ribs, fish sandwiches etc. The food os pretty good for a sports bar type place, and with 3 teen boys the number of screens is great. Service is usually pretty good too. You are just of rt 41, but it feels like you aren't. It has turned into a Go-to staple when we are in that area.


And yes, it is a 'sister' restaurant to sharkey's on the Pier in Venice.

We tried them again in May 2011 and I'm so glad we did...

My husband and I visited Joe Cracker in June 2007... we had terrible service an opted not to go back again, even though they are one of very few "non-chain" restaurants near our home.

Well, we tried them again in May 2011 and I'm so glad we did. I recall the food being pretty decent even on our first visit, but on our most recent visit, I had a fantastic shrimp po' boy. It was spicy, but not overwhelming... the shrimp were perfectly fried. My husband enjoyed his burger too. The service was MUCH improved. On our first visit, it took an hour to get our meal in an empty restaurant... this time, we had our order in about 10 minutes. The server was prompt with refills and the hostess was very friendly.

We dined at lunch, but they have a great looking bar and lots of TVs... could be a fun spot to watch a game. I also noticed they did a special for kids on Wednesdays, I believe.

I like the tropical decor too... makes you feel "beachy" even though you are just off Tamiami Trail. Apparently they are affiliated with Sharky's of Venice, which while it has a awesome view, lacks in the food department.


I'll be back... wish I'd tried them again sooner!
