The Sand Trap Sports Bar & Grill in Venice

American and Thai food makes this restaurant unique. Cozy atmosphere despite the crowd you always see there. Nice thing you can order you food and eat at the tall seats at the bar. Delicious thai cuisine. A must go place in Venice.

Better thai food available in Venice. Small portions and over priced

Had a good meal but when asked for a dessert menu (8:31) after eating they stated the kitchen was closed. To me that’s poor service that when you’ve already finished eating your meal that you state such a thing. It’s basically ice cream on their menu and things that should already be prepared (can’t bake a cake on demand). That for me was another way to say they wanted us to leave. Food wasn’t good enough for us to want to go back.

Best Tai menu in South Venice!

Really good Thai, but the portions could be bigger for the price.

Just the best sports bar and grill in Venice. Outstanding Thai menu and food quality in addition to high quality bar sandwiches and salads. Great bartender and wait staff.

Loved the food, had thai for the 1st time here and I'm hooked! Very clean inside and staff was very nice. My new local spot

Go for the Thai food. Everything at the table was excellent. We had a group of 11 people and the service was good, the food was amazing, and the menu accommodates everyone. The meat lovers get meatGluten free get rice instead of grainsVegans have tons of optionsAs a vegan, I ordered the Pad Thai vegan with tofu. It was incredible, I ate the whole thing, and I hadn't had Pad Thai in years.

I love this place. There food is great. The serve both American and Thai food here. I recommend both. If you never had Thai food before, try it here, you will love it. The people who work here are so friendly. They are like family.

Great for quick dinner when you don't want to cook. The food is as attractive, fresh and tastes good. Family owned business, with pleasant, attentive staff. Plenty of various beers as well

It's still a good place to go, don't get me wrong... but it has had some staff changes recently... and it shows from what it used to be... even the kitchen must have had some changes... as the food quality has also gone down a star.

Disappointed. After reading the reviews, I was excited to eat here.Generic canned food. Portions were really small. And then to add insult to injury the dessert was the biggest disappointment. I was with my family, I left a $100 bucks there and we left hungry and hugely disappointed and dissatisfied.I have to admit though, the servers are excellent.

Great food. Best Curry dish that I have had in years. Service is excellent. Prices are fair. Will visit restaurant again.

We had just come the beach and wanted a meal that wasn't fast food. Googled this place. Quite surprised it has both Thai and American. Friendly staff. Even unsweet tea was tasty.

First visit. Very impressed. At first glance it appeared to be a neighbor bar. Went in for a bar burger and discovered the Thai food menu. Unbelievably good Thai. The service from our server Terrence was exceptional. He patiently answered all our questions regarding the Thai food. Wonderful experience. Definitely going back.

Food was excellent, Teresa great server. Will be back

Yummy Thai dishes. Fast and friendly service. Been going here for quite sometime and have never been disappointed.

Great food, Great service! I stop here a couple times a week for my favorite dish. I love the buffalo chicken wrap. It's amazing. While I'm there I always hear others saying similar things about their favorites. Johan behind the bar is fantastic! The combination of menu's is a bit unorthodox but it works great for both my wife and I. She loves the Ty menu and I love the sports bar menu. Only down side is no hard alcohol as one of us like a rum and coke....

Food is wonderful, and Teresa does a very good job as a server. This is one of our favorite places.

From the outside and by the name you would never know that they have great Thai food. Eat here occasionally and it's always been good.

Some of the best food in Venice, FL. Good American food, and even better Thai food. These guys have fast, friendly service. I couldn't care less, but if you do like sports, there are enough games/sports on to suit everyone. Try it and you'll be back.

Unique little bar and grill. Has both a normal sports bar menu and a Thai menu. We got Thai and loved it. Not to spicie as it came but spices are available. Prices good.

We Love the sand trap. Great food!

Delicious food great service. Always happy.

I think this is one of my favorite places ever. great Pad Thai and real fried mushrooms not frozen. My husband had a Reuben sandwich which looked good and had a lot of meat on it.

Been there 3 times, each meal was very good. Environment is somewhat crowded & noisey. Prices are fair enough at this point...

Used to be our "go to" place for Thai food, but changes in staff make it mediocre. Doesn't help they stuffed us into a small table and people and staff kept banging our chairs. Food real good but took over 60 minutes to get served as "Thai food real slow tonite" oh well....

Great food and small town atmosphere with awesome menu choices. The food is always good and the staff is amazing..

The place is always full! The reason why:They have great food! We had the 'Drunken Noodles' and the 'Pad Thai'. It was absolutely delicious! It is quite seldom that you find Oriental Cuisine in a sports bar... But that's what it is. They also serve lots of American Food.

Such awesome place, it's the feel of a sports bar and the Thai food was absolutely amazing!!!! A little blurry.. 💖

We had carry out, was ready when they said it would be. My husband had buffalo wings and couldn't eat them because they were very very very salty. I had the cheeseburger wrap which was delicious except they forgot the cheese. French fries were awesome. Will go again but advise to avoid the wings.

The description says "basic". There is nothing basic about this place. It is a fantastic surprise with amazing food. Highly recommend the Thai food.

Service was not great and it's seriously overpriced. I spent $21 on my lunch which consisted of a dozen frozen fries and plain piece of white fish. Could not get tea refill until I finally walked to different person at bar. I won't be back.

Really good Thai food. Great service. Has American menu also. Always good

From the outside, you'd have no idea what amazing delicious food you'd get once inside. They offer both an American (bar food style) and Thai menu. I without a doubt recommend trying their Thai food - SO delicious. Important to note - it gets VERY busy during season, go early, or call early for take out, but it is worth the wait - and for us locals, go off season too. Everything we've tried from here is wonderful. Service is always great.

It's a nice place, prices are fair. Unique in the fact that they serve both American and Thai cuisine. My wife had the curry and I had a Rubin with French onion soup. We both liked our choices. Service was a bit slow, we came just as they opened for lunch on a Sunday and I wouldn't say they were packed but it took 20-30 min to take our order. Maybe it was an off day. Worth a visit.

Fabulous Thai! My husband loves the burgers. The best of both worlds and Always packed.

The food was excellent but the service was poor and the server was rude. We were a party of five. It was sweltering hot inside so my mother politely asked for the ceiling fan to be turned on. Our server waived his hands and walked away. We were never asked if we wanted a refill on water or a second round of beer and wine. We will try again but be asked to be seated in a different section.

Great afternoon late lunch. Service was kind and professional. Sometimes with Thai food you’re not quite sure until you get it. This was fresh and good and I will be going back soon. The. Imixture of flavors; ginger, curry, pepper was just right and made me want more.

First class. Thai food excellent. Wait staff excellent!Well done!

My husband and I were just in there today for lunch. The food was fantastic and the service was great. Our waitress Teresa was great. She described everything to us on the menu and had a great and upbeat personality that really made our visit so enjoyable. We are definitely going back!!!

Very good Tai food and very nice staff

If you come here make sure you get the massaman curry, it is easily the best curry I have ever had in the U.S, highly recommend!

Fast service, great taste, friendly knowledgeable staff! Loved being able to get a hot dog for our 5yo while everyone else had Thai. Can’t wait to go back!

Grrat bar food, but the BEST Thai food around.

You would never guess by the name of this establishment that they also serve fantastic Thai food. We will definitely return!!!!

Great service great food

Who would think with a name like this it has excellent Thia food

We went here for the Thai food, and I have to admit I did not have high hopes. Most people wouldn't think a sports bar and grill would be good for things besides burgers and chicken. But boy was I surprised! It was delicious, best I've had in Venice. It was also plated beautifully. The Thai tea is excellent too, don't miss it. We will be back for sure.

The menu is very unique. Offers Thia along with tipical bar food.
