We stopped at Cypress Grill after a long fishing day in Venice, and this place did NOT disappoint. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and everything tasted fresh.
We tried a little bit of everything—fried catfish bites, hushpuppies with their spicy remoulade, gator bites, tacos stacked with slaw and cheese. Every bite had that Louisiana kick! The sauces especially were fire I found myself dipping everything in ‘em.
Service was friendly and quick, and the staff kept our drinks full the whole time. The atmosphere is laid-back and casual, perfect for folks coming straight off the water. Don’t expect fancy, expect good food that fills you up and makes you happy.
If you’re in Venice for fishing or just passing through, Cypress Grill is a solid stop for hearty southern seafood and local flavors.

Ordered a Rost Beef PoBoy with no tomatoes. Came out somewhat warm-ish with tomatoes.
That’s not the bad part.
It was made with lunch meat and packet gravy and day old bread if not longer.
Absolute trash food for $18.
The bar had NO TV on NO Music playing.

Food was nothing special & service was not good. Atmosphere was ok if you are just looking for a place to drink. Outdoor bar, lakeside, music playing. But woulf not recommend this place for food or good service.

Servers were fun and friendly. Steak was perfectly seasoned. They need entertainment in the bar area. No music. No TV’s.

Love this place! Gator balls are to die for. Great food and great staff and great drinks. It does get pretty loud in there. It echoes a lot which keeps it loud. Typically there’s only one person waiting tables so it does take awhile to get food. But when you get it it’s great. If requested, they can even cook fish you caught on your trip. Sucks they’re closed on Tuesdays though.

Picturesque view for an enjoyable meal. Had the seafood fries, which is a meal for two in itself, fried softshells, and fried oysters. My only criticism would be too much breading on the crabs. Our server was very attentive, also. Would definitely recommend.

Food was delicious. Service was amazing. Great view of the Marina from the deck. Mojitos were very good. I had the special Liver and Onions, mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Liver was cooked very well. Tender and not dry. Onions were caramelized nicely and the mashed wasn’t instant. Brown Gravy had good flavor.

Maybe the bar is okay. Breezy porch and all that. I was only there once but there will never be a next time. Waitress pushed the “ snapper throats “ special. . I do like good collars and cheeks so I went along. She asked if I wanted a drink. I said Coke but not too much ice. Slaw or Fries? I picked slaw. Slaw was okay , Coke was a slushy exactly what “ not too much ice “ wants to avoid. Now the throats. Hard Deep fried in heavy batter that had to be cracked. 3 tiny throats. Throats have to be big enough for some large flakes or chunks to be found by the explorer. . Plenty of bone but no bit bigger than a pea. These fish were probably 6 inches long in life. Bait maybe. Food no ! My plate was a brown wasteland of bones and batter casing. She brought me a bill $7 bucks more than the throats. I had assumed slaw was part of the lunch. Nope! That was three bucks and the slushy was 3 bucks. I raised an eyebrow and she got crabby. I forked over $24 bucks and left with a bad taste that didn’t come from micro fish. You don’t have much choice and maybe the burgers are ok but surrounded by sea and fishing boats I guess I was deluded! Skip it!

Nice place to eat after a hot day on the water. Everyone had a delicious meal and the fried pickles were a neat appetizer.

After my experience with the restaurant at Venice Marina where I had gotten grilled shrimp and it was Honestly the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth, taste like iodine and was expensive, I was reluctant on whether I even wanted to try this place but I’m so glad we did. My husband got a Shrimp Po Boy and I got the hamburger steak and grilled vegetables. Those grilled vegetables were heavenly and my husband said his Shrimp Po Boy was amazing. 5 stars across the board and the prices were very reasonable
