“Best hot dog ever!,” per 89-year-old Mom…
I took my folks to Shake Pit a couple Saturdays ago – we were all hankerin’ for a good hot dog. And GOOD they were indeed!
Daddy got his with cheese, mine was with chili and cheese, and Mom just got hers plain. But she sure was impressed with the great care they took on toasting the buns, or whatever they did to them – they were wonderful! And their fries are really good, too.
NOTE: They are a cash-only establishment, but they do have an on-site ATM.
I tried to capture the menu for y’all – my apologies for the slight glare…

Stopped in for a shake after a great day at the beach! I had a medium chocolate shake and my wife had a medium strawberry shake. They were very good! So thick and creamy! Friendly service! Clean out door eating area. Clean restrooms. Highly recommended!

This is one of our favorite spots now. The staff is always friendly, and the food and ice cream are always amazing. We love coming here it has such a nostalgic feel. Just remember to bring cash, but if you forget, there’s an ATM inside.

This place has usually been one of my favorite spots for a burger and ice cream, which is why this visit was so disappointing. The burger tasted like a bland, frozen patty with none of the flavor I’ve come to expect. The twist ice cream was also off — it was mostly chocolate, grayish in color, and didn’t resemble a proper twist at all. I’m not sure if quality has gone down or if there’s an attempt to cut costs, but the product served this time was far below the usual standard. I really hope this was a one-off and that quality improves, because this place used to be a go-to.

Diana rung me up for 2 items swiftly and with a kind smile to boot. Shake Pit has been around since the late 50s and is still kicking. Clearly a popular spot for visitors and locals alike as I ran across people from all different kinds of states.
Now for the food, it was pretty good albeit a tad pricey.
It’s nice to have the option to order a milkshake as drinkable and I swiftly drank my Peanut Butter and Chocolate Milkshake (classically delicious). They make them with real ice cream and it shows.
The Double Cheeseburger came out with 2 fresh tomatoes, lettuce and ketchup. Just a juicy and delectable burger, not one complaint.
If you’re craving a feel-good burger to pair with a shake in the shade, Shake Pit’s the spot to be. You can get more food for $15-$20 at other spots, but you can’t replace a positive atmosphere!

The best service and food around. They were so kind to my wife and I when we were a dollar short paying for our meal. Came here because it was my great uncle’s favorite place for a nostalgic burger and shake. Will come back when we visit again!

Small restaurant that has been a staple of this town for years. They tend to be busy which may cause a little wait for your food. My partner and I love to split their oinkinhoovencluckin burger ( if I got that right) ultimately you get it all on a burger and you dont be disappointed. Pair it with one of their amazing shakes. Mostly outdoor seating, they have a patio type area but it stays pretty warm in it. Small diner counter inside.

That place offers not only great ice cream, but also some of the best burgers and fries around here! My boyfriend and I loved it so much that we came here 4 times in just six days while we stayed in Sarasota! We will definitely come back, highly recommended. PS: And the staff and service are also very nice.

After years of crushing Peanut-butter Chocolate malts, I recon it’s time we leave a review. As much as I’d like to sling 5 stars their way, I can’t do it. The first three items my wife ordered were each met with a prompt and harsh “can’t make that”. No apology, no explanation, just a teen with a seeming bad attitude. Nevertheless, we ended up with items they could make, so that’s a plus. Food and shakes all came out at different times, but they were all pretty good. It’s cash only, so be prepared. All in all, was a good evening.
