NOKOMIS (SNN TV) – A waterfront restaurant on the Suncoast reopens after Hurricane Ian forced it to close.

Pop’s Sunset Grill in Nokomis reopened last weekend on October 15th. 

The Herald-Tribune’s dining editor has raved about Pop’s, calling it an “experience.” When you arrive, you head into a tunnel with a sign hanging above you, “Through these portals pass the world’s friendliest mortals.” After that, you head into a tropical courtyard with paths leading to various bars and dining areas, plus the Intracoastal Waterway and a dock for boaters.

The owners says it took 650 work hours and two and a half weeks to reopen, which included replacing the tiki roof which Ian ripped off.

Pop’s Sunset Grill is located at 112 Circuit Road in Nokomis. It’s open everyday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
