Olde World Restaurant Bar & Lounge

Dinner was expensive and very disappointing. Fish was mushy, shrimp a bit rubbery and the scallops were very good. All was drenched in loads of a buttery, cheesy sauce that was more like soup. Ordered broccoli soup to go for a friend only to find it a solid mass when she tried to eat it — just an awful experience.

Thanks to Unilocal,I found this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. It was quite busy, with a 20 minute wait, but by the time we enjoyed a beer at their beautiful bar, we were seated. I was pleased to discover there was a veggie burger on the menu because it is hard to find choices at restaurants when you are vegan. The service was slow (because they were busy), but our waitress acknowledged the wait and gave us our appetizer free of charge. I would love to go back during a comedy set or karaōke night. Will definitely go again.

Went go eat tonight there
Me and my brother orders new York sirloin steaks. Both steaks were horrible tuff !!!
I was really disappointed for $ 50.00.
Dont waist your time or money.

Great service and warm atmosphere along with food prepared with a sense of Old World Taste is no lie.

The Old World Restaurant is just that. Old. Menu is too big and the food tastes like the freezer.
If I wanted a frozen meal I woulx have bought one at the grocery store.

Smells musty and old, the service is good but the place is in desperate need of renovation.
I used to frequent this place quite regularly years ago but the last time I was there I was reminded of why I hadn’t been back in years.

If you visit a fly swatter and feather duster are mandatory. It is obvious that this establishment has been around a LONG time. Although they advertise «Robin Hood» theming, there was no evidence of such other than some menu item names and a castle painted on the wall. The décor was mostly nautical, with an overwhelming mismatch of wall art and stained glass. The food was average (it’s hard to mess up a sandwich). I’ll admit that the white Clam Chowder was fantastic and our waitress was friendly. The place was mostly empty and seems like a hangout for retirees. On the way out the busboy turned his head so as not to acknowledge our «thank you»; Very strange. With so many other great places around I don’t think I’d go back.

Tasty food and decent prices. There are a lot of menu items to choose from. The sandwiches are huge. They don’t come with fries or chips, but you can add a side. The nachos were just average, nothing special there. Our waitress was very busy but still upbeat and friendly. We will go back for sure

Food was great! A traditional dining experience. A little pricey but portions are good size. I had the Pattie Dukie (patty melt) and it was and generous. Just came as a sandwich so I orders fries for $ 1.99 more. It is a good place to eat. Simple but food is good quality!

Our family was delighted to have won free a Free lunch at this restaurant by attending a seminar. THE food was excellent. THE atmosphere wholesome, family oriented and staff friendly. We will enjoy dining here again in THE future.

Wow. incredible. MANDATORY 15% gratuity do the server is arrogant. And borderline RUDE!!! So angry. If we weren’t in a group dinning prior to my 22 year old Nephew’s MEMORIAL SERVICE. I would have made a scene complained to the manager and left. However I am and could not. But I can here. Complete presumptuous and very irritating. How dare you give Crap add service and STEAL 15% !!!

I’ve been coming to Olde World since the ‘90s, at least. It’s so old school — you gotta love it! I mean, it’s got a Tudor/​Sherwood Forest theme, for the love of God! It’s so awesome in a «did I just step back into the 70s?» way. Good breakfast, good sandwiches. They’ve tried to update their menu with things like fajitas and Asian potstickers, but you’ll want to stick to the basics. It’s a great place to take your parents or grandparents after church.

Not the Old World it use to be. Service below par, food quality below par, prices less than competition. Can’t be something that happens occasionally because it seems to be their ‘culture.’ Too bad!

The Old World Restaurant is one of my favorites when visiting family in North Port. It has a unique Robin Hood & classic literature theme mixed with some other fun references on the menus. They also have some really nice murals and artwork on the walls. The theming really makes this place fun and interesting.
I’ve always been happy with my food choices. Some quick food recommendations would be the onion rings, the onion soup au gratin, and the grouper sandwich. All of the soups, sandwiches and other comfort foods I’ve had here have been great!
The half sandwich/​cup of soup lunch special is a good deal at under $ 6 (it was the Robin Hood sandwich & I got the French onion soup — yum!).

Nice place to go and eat. Never have been let down at all and I love the fish tank. I am also a fan of the pancakes here they are absolutely huge and delicious. Will always visit here when I am in desire of those delicious pancakes.

Always good food and great service. Portions are more than you can eat so plan on a take home box. Clean restrooms…

I wasn’t expecting much so I was shocked to have the best prime rib sandwich I’ve ever eaten! Most «prime rib» sandwiches I’ve eaten were merely sliced roast beef. This was a high quality, thick medium rare plank served with mushrooms on a croissant. At first I thought the croissant would not hold up to the sandwich and au jus, but its sweetness complimented the salty, perfectly cooked medium rare meat. Onion rings were homemade and thick and the service was impeccable. Don’t let the older crowd throw you. They’ve found a gem.

Been here a two previous times.
First was a guest of a friend… very busy night, and the service suffered because of it.
Chalked that up to a rather busy night.
2^nd and 3^rd times we went for breakfast. The menu is simplistic and not too overbearing. We were seated rather quickly, and coffee and juice came in nice order… then we placed our breakfast order. Both adults had egg orders, and son has their version of french toast.
Now, that was when a couple of 3 or 4 groups of seniors came in. After that point,
our table did NOT exist.
Our eggs came out, runny, basically undercooked, and heavy with sauces unlike what should have been on our orders. And cold. Still no sight of our son’s order.
10 mins later I had to walk over to the server who was more interested in chit-​chatting with the other tables, and a hostess who was more interested in her texting on her phone, just to get refills on coffee and ask about the toast.
10mins later, coffee comes, so does french toast. both cold.
Told the server, and got the excuse of, well, there are now orders ahead and it would be another 15 – 20 mins. We begged off… paid and left.
The 3 or 4 tables of 2 – 3 seniors sure had the lions’ share of the attention and service.
This place is definitely off the to-​go-​to list.

New to the area and thought we would give this place a try… the food was average…
the place seemed very old and «tired»… could use updating… waitress was friendly…
Probably would not go there again or recommend…

I used to work here when I was 16 as a expediter, so I know all of the food price and prep.
This place is mainly filled with old snowbirds from Canada, Michigan, Minnesota, new yrk and etch.
the food is average and so is the service. overpriced but not everything.
this is also one of the oldest resterants in north port.
it has plenty of tables booths and bar stools for seating, plus two/​three rooms for party’s/get togethers.
you might like it you might hate it. check it out.
