Reviews for Clever Monkey Craft Grill & Bar in Osprey, FL

I loved this salmon dish. The var tenders were so fun. We ate at the bar. Recommend the bar area. More fun.

Ate here regularly and always got my favorite dish - the Blackened Chicken Alfredo - ended up getting it yesterday and was sick... with food poisoning hours later ????? stomach/body overall still feels unwell today ???? disappointed & sad to say the least, asnow I?m scared to ever order again Read more

I?ve never been here before, but I?ve lived I. The area awhile so I decided to go try for a late lunch. The decor is along the... lines of a normal sports bar. With 19? tv?s in every booth and the bar in the back, in an adjacent room. When I arrived it wasfairly empty with a few people at the bar, and one other in the booth area. I liked this set-up, since the bar can get rowdyduring sporting events. Although the bar area isn?t that big. I was seated and the waiter was great. He was attentive to myneeds which is a plus. I ordered a Reuben with fries and a coke. The sandwich was pretty good, although there was a hint ofhorseradish, which I could?ve done without, but it was still good. Fries came out perfect, crisp to the bite and not oversalted. I did feel the plate was too small for the meal itself, with sandwich stacked and fries in basket on a appetizer plate.It was a decent meal. The price I feel didn?t match the meal. Without the tip, it was nearly $19, and I tipped the waiter $5.Considering a number things, I don?t think this price point is adequate for a sports bar. I can?t see the longevity with thisrestaurant. For what was, the meal was good. Read more

Great wait staff - friendly, attentive OK ambiance, but booths were uncomfortable to sit in for a long period. Food was OK,... nothing special. Steak was very thin, full of gristle and fat. Uncooked seasonal veggies. Cold mashed potatoes. Decent selectionof local/craft beers Chicken salad not worth the $ given the size and amount of ingredients. Read more

Great food for a late lunch today. The stuffed mushrooms are so buttery good! Good sized portions, had a burger and hubby had... the reuben, both were excellent along with the fries. Had the blue raspberry jalapeño margarita, so delish! Read more

Wendy and I enjoyed a night with friends playing trivia at the Clever Monkey on Tuesday night. Lots of great teams playing and... having fun with friends. We ordered food to try and everything came out amazing from the wings to the BIG sandwich and my wife'seggplant dish. If you are in the area then do stop by and give the Clever Monkey a try. I have to mention the service was greatalso. Thank you to everyone for making it a really fun night. Read more

My family and I had a great time and enjoyed our meal at The Clever Monkey! It was our first time there, and were hesitant... trying something ?adventurous ? and tried their burgers. They were phenomenal! I think at times our standards are high,especially with cuisine, since we very much love to cook and creat meals at home. We all finished our plates, nearly as cleanas if they just came out of the dishwasher. I would definitely recommend you try it and decide for yourselves. I don?t thinkyou would be disappointed! Only after having eaten our meal- the manager introduced themselves and explained to us that everydish and ingredient is made in house; pickled jalapeños, dressings, sauces, sides, etc To big box or distributor ingredients-and fresh produce and proteins ordered daily; that fact alone will lead us back to the restaurant and has opened up oureagerness to try other specialized dishes they offer. We had a spinach and Brie burger, triple threat burger (it was awesomeand spicy and fresh and juicy and now I am hungry again), regular cheeseburger, and burgers from the children's menu- which werejust as great and they are served on spectacular bread, and the size of sliders- you get two per child's menu order. Save roomfor sweets - I challenge you to try :) Read more

Fried shrimp (7 large) and fries was excellent. Can't go wrong with any burger. Big juicy patty with perfect flame grilled... flavor. Staff was intense but it was a Friday night and drink orders were wrong, someone's order wasn't input and our serverdidn't know what the special was. Really enjoyed the meal, will go back on a less busy day. Read more
