Reviews for Owen's Fish Camp in Sarasota, FL
Absolutely ????/10. The food is well worth the price and to be fair I'd go as far as saying more than worth it. It's the cutest... little place with great atmosphere. And if you get there earlier then opening that's best people start lining up. Met a localI'm line who reccomended the scamp and ofc had to try it. I have no regrets ???? Read more
I loved everything about this place. I was in town for work and stopped in on my last night with coworkers. There was a bit of a... wait but it didn?t seem too long once we got to the beer garden area out back. The waiting area is a massive and beautiful.There was live music and a chill atmosphere. The staff was super accommodating. Red Snapper was one of their fresh catches andit?s rare to find a snapper fillet. They give you the option of having the fish prepared different ways. I went with blackedwith hollandaise. The hollandaise sauce is killer. If you get it, you?ll probably want an extra side of it. So good! If I?m everback in the area, I?ll make it a point to go back.

A Sarasota must. I?m so glad we came here on our first night of vacation ? this place was bumpin and did not disappoint! Don?t... be discouraged by the long wait: there is such a cute outdoor patio with fresh grilled seafood and a bar menu to order from totide you over while you enjoy the weather and listen to live music! The food (on all 3 of the menus they offer) was outstandingand fresh. The servers were all super helpful with ordering and friendly too! Enjoyed my time here start to finish and wouldrecommend to anyone. Read more
Owens Fish Camp is a blast. Tons of great food (whether you?re ordering from the staff at a table indoors or out back waiting... for the grill to call your name out), love music, and an awesome ambiance. They get super busy and don?t take reservations butthe wait is worth it. Read more
Simply awesome experience! When we arrived at 6pm, we?re were told there would be a 2.5 hour wait. My hopes were about dashed.... The hostess, a native of my Ohio hometown, convinced us to stay, put our name in, and hang out on the back patio/courtyard. Gladwe listened, what a great place to wait. There?s a small hut setup with a grille and cold beverage options, plenty of outdoorbench or picnic table seating. They also offer a limited menu of sitting at a picnic table. We had live music to entertain whilewe waited. The dinner was amazing, food was outstanding, service was solid! My jumbalaya was super tasty, and my ladies seafoodpasta was great! Definitely give this place a try. Located in the heart of downtown Sarasota?but what a great little city. Read more
Regardless of the fact that the line to get into this restaurant began forming long before they even opened, and regardless of... the fact that they had way more of a demand than they had seats available, they managed to get us seated and served and to fillour bodies with deliciousness without a single error. Our server, Claudia, was AMAZING, and she didn't skip a beat once. She wason top of everything and made our time there enjoyable and easy. The food was incredible, delicious, and came in perfect tempodespite the crazy demand they were dealing with. I witnessed food runners, bussers, and servers working together as a team, andI noticed that their working environment is that of a well-oiled machine. Whatever they're doing to train the servers in thereis working, and because of it, the place just flows. I will say that the hostess tonight was seriously short tempered and had anot so nice attitude towards people. It was chaos there from before they even opened, but she is the first person peopleencounter; she is the face of the restaurant, its representative, and I witnessed numerous people walking away very upset withhow she spoke to them. She was short, rude, and lacked any kind of personality, compassion, or understanding. Not a very goodperson to have in the front of the house greeting people, however, aside from my experience with her, everything was phenomenal.I have lived here for about 25 years and have never been until tonight. Even with the mad holiday rush with it being the nightbefore New Year's Eve, as well as the crazy busy "season", they managed to produce wonderful service and delicious food, andbecause of it, I will become a faithful customer.

This was my 4th time here as a local. We went to dinner around 5:15pm on a Wednesday evening. The wait was about 1.5 hours. They... have a very large outdoor space to hang out and enjoy a beverage and light snack from their outdoor bar/restaurant. Once seatedthe food and service is top notch. Only thing I do not like is the fact that they do not accept reservations. Every time I go,there are people walking away because the wait is so long. Even going early still requires a long wait to be seated. (We werethere at 5:15pm for dinner). I?m assuming they do this in hopes that you wait in their outside area and spend more money on foodand drinks while you wait. Just seems like an easy way to make more money. All in all, I would still recommend because the foodtaste wonderful, as long as you have the time to wait for a table. Read more
