Clever Monkey Craft Grill

Description

Clever Monkey is a lively, sports-bar–style spot in Sarasota with big, house-made portions — think Philly cheesesteak, oversized fish sandwiches, onion rings, wings and pasta. Guests praise friendly, attentive staff and a cheerful bar with cocktails and live music, but note inconsistent service, long waits at times, occasional drink and order issues, and uneven food temperature as the place adjusts under new management. Family-friendly and allergy-aware, it’s a great casual choice when kitchen and service are in sync.

We were in today to watch a Football game. We had 9 of us. Our waitress, I forget your name, blonde lady with a sweet smile. She waited did not miss a beat. Our drinks were full, food was brought out quickly, she was also hostessing. The food was fantastic. The nachos were amazing. Smash burgers, prime rib, Reuben, the onion rings. The atmosphere is great everyone is welcoming. Thank you from the crazy Chiefs fans at the round tables!

Fantastic prep o. Every sandwich and app we tried. Onion rings are freshly battered and fried up crisp...first ones in the area that we'd order again! Cheesesteak competes with any, including those I've tried in Philly. My Salmon was most and tasty. Prime Rib sandwich was hit with our friends. Service wasn't fast, but was very helpful. I wasn't in a huge hurry, and we enjoyed the evening. I'll be coming back for sure. Service: Dine in

I definitely recommend the Gorilla stuffed mushrooms appetizer, super fresh and packed with flavor. The baby back ribs were cooked to perfection and fall off the bone, melt in your mouth, delicious. I will say they were the best ribs I have ever had, hands down and I've been to a lot of different bbq places, this place beats them all. All of the food was fantastic. You can tell the kitchen staff really knows what they're doing and have a passion for it. The server/manager was very friendly and personable. I'm horrible with names but she was awesome! Will be back for sure!
