1. Venice Marina

Have been here many times as many of the charter boats we frequent leave from here. Marina is part a working marina and part for charters. They have a decent bar and restaurant upstairs along with a small tackle and gift shop. Great people and fish watching here as the boats return in the afternoon with their catches. The marina shop upstairs can get crowded and the girls working up there can get a little short with you if you are new.

pretty much the only game in town at the marina and surrounding area of Venice. They have some good options, gator balls were good eatin, the seafood was fresh and several options. this is located at the Venice marina so bfast in the morn before fishing is an option, and of course a few drinks and some people watching as the boats come back in for the day is always a plus, good dinner options too.

First the place look NOTHING like the picture in this review. It's a much more down to earth, blue collar working environment decor. That being said, the food is an interesting collection of Chinese cuisine, pizza parlor and Louisiana seafood poor boy sandwiches. The people are super nice, the prices are reasonable and the food is tasty and good portions. We had the General Tao's chicken, shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. Just like everything else in this area, it's nothing fancy, but then it doesn't have to be considering their clientele is working class offshore oil field people. I would definitely recommend this restaurant the next time your offshore chopper is grounded due to bad weather.

Had a nice meal here including the fresh tuna. Unfortunately they over cooked it. Seared does not mean cooked in the middle. Service was prompt and very friendly and prices are reasonable. Only other option in town really is food at Venice Marina and Cypress is a nicer place. Very limited beer options but a full bar.

Little roadside sandwich shop. Nice lady running it. Unfortunately, I had a shrimp Po Boy and it wasn't good. My friend had a hamburger and he said his was good. French fries were good. Prices were high, but nearly everything down there has inflated prices.
