Though we tend to emphasize our efforts on helping local businesses, there are also lots of chain restaurants in Sarasota that deserve a mention here and there, too.

Sarasota is home to chain restaurants from all ends of the spectrum. Some are grab-n-go fast-casual destinations and others are fine dining steakhouses in Sarasota that welcome you with open arms for your next special occasion.
No matter the reason why you stop by, these are our favorite chain restaurants near Sarasota (from fast-casual to fine dining)!
