Venues Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Highly recommend this restaurant after our experience the other night. We made a reservation for 16 people for Happy Hour, but 3 more were added at the last minute. Donna was great to work with and Bronco rolled with the punches and was a great server!! They have a great Happy Hour menu and everyone loved their food. Was a beautiful night and their adorable patio was filled with people. Make this place your next dining experience and you'll be coming back.
Wonderful meal there. Ate outside. Tuna melt and the so cal burrito. Two meals out of the burrito. Attentive staff. Highly recommended
Truly enjoyed this quaint find. The food was great, had the chicken tortilla soup, the short rib & shrimp tacos. Also the salad was impeccable. The server was really nice and gave great recommendations. It's near a lot of cute shops, so afterwards we had a chance to look around. It was even live music across the street. Overall if you ever find yourself in Carefree, stop by and check out Venues it's a great place
This is one of our favorite restaurants! The food is consistently good. The service is friendly and they are genuinely nice. They do not make you feel rushed, but allow you to eat and enjoy your time there. The ambiance is what drew us to come back and then we just fell in love with the food and the service. We bring friends and family here often.
Dear Catherine Wonderful news about your rest rooms! I so appreciated your contact. We will be returning and I am looking forward to delicious berry pie and a choice of entree from your menu.
I ordered the street tacos and they were delicious. The short rib taco was juicy, tender and personally my favorite. The carne asada was also tasty with its unique salsa. Great location in the middle of downtown. Local flutist was performing in the park across from the restaurant as we sat on the patio. I will go back again.
We were hangry and needed a late lunch. There was also the Carefree Art and Wine Festival happening so we weren't sure if we would have to wait for a table. Luckily we went to lunch late enough where most diners had left. The guys had cheeseburgers and fries and we gals ordered the turkey panini with green salad. The burgers looked amazingly huge. The guys were happy and ate every last bite. The paninis were grilled, buttery and good. The salad was fresh and crisp. A good meal! Lots of patrons so a bit loud in here. There is also outdoor seating. Free street parking and WiFi.
