My new favorite eatery. I had a burger the size of my head, and ate every bit. Shout-out to the staff for providing service as good as the food. We love it here!

Very nice place, located on the second floor. Staff is very friendly and the place has a pleasant atmosphere. We got fattened shrimp and Fat Rabbit wings with cilantro sauce. Both were excellent! We were really impressed with cilantro sauce. It’s a little sweet and has a kick to it; definitely the best wings we’ve ever had!

My husband and I were walking downtown Sarasota and we almost walked past this place it could be easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. You have to climb stairs to get to this place but not a downside for us. First, when we came in the manager Austin was very welcoming and friendly. We love the ambiance of this place. The drinks were excellent and the bartender Terrance was awesome as well. He gave us some excellent recommendations on drinks. When we are in the area again, we will be back for sure and maybe try some food next time. 😉

The Fat Rabbit in downtown Sarasota is an absolute gem! Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch. The wings were the standout- especially the buffalo garlic ranch, Fat Rabbit, and root beer BBQ. Juicy, messy in the best way, and packed with flavor. Their house ranch is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Favorite wings in Sarasota, period. The blackened chicken roll with Fat Rabbit sauce (cilantro kick!) was addictive, and the pretzel flight was genius…the everything bagel pretzel is a must, and the spicy Sriracha pretzel with beer cheese was incredible. The burger was perfectly cooked, super juicy, and easily one of the best in town. Don’t skip the tots!!! the seasoning on them is pure magic. Cocktails were just as impressive as the food. The Thumper Derby was bright, citrusy, and perfectly balanced. The vibe of the restaurant is awesome too…eclectic rock décor, shuffleboard and darts, and a fun, welcoming energy. We even met the chef, who explained that everything is made from scratch (no microwaves in the kitchen), and you can absolutely taste the difference. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. A hidden gem on Main Street and one of my new favorite spots in Sarasota. Can’t wait to go back!!!

The BEST everything! Will be returning anytime we come to town. Best Chicken Sandwich Of my life. Hands down. Shown by the empty plate because we ate it so fast! The best wings, juicy and delicious —- had honey garlic and buffalo for my sauce. He had the Smokehouse burger and said the meat was perfect. And, the tots were incredible. I didn’t know I could love tater tots this much. The breading plus the spices were just perfection. Amazing!

Ok I’ve lived in Germany for many years (Munich) and I swear this is the best pretzel I’ve had in my live! And also the best buffalo garlic ranch wings ever… great service, great ambiance … if you are down in Sarasota you MUST come here!

This pub is exactly what you want it to be. An no frills, affordable spot in the heart of downtown sarasota. Good food, good service, live music, what more could you want? The build your own burger makes it easy to eat keto here. I had a bun-less burger with cheese and upgraded the chips to a salad. Very generous portions. We had the sliders and wings last time and they were great.

What an awesome place, the atmosphere and vibe are off the charts, drank some great drinks and had some amazing wings. The owners and the bartender Andrew love the establishment, and you can tell. Super passionate about the place. I'm going back tonight for round two and I know itll be amazing.

Enjoyed an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon watching football. Austin was the bartender & very helpful in guiding us on different dishes we were considering. Loved the 80's music decor throughout the restaurant - reminded me of my high school days! I enjoyed some martini's & then we grazed off the happy hour menu mostly. We shared wings & pretzels -- yum & then I had the happy house nacho's with pork - delish! My husband enjoyed the short rib quesadilla. All in all, an enjoyable experience & the food was very good!
