AMI Beach Hut Ice Cream Shop • $
9901 Gulf Dr, Anna Maria

“The best Ice Cream on the island! Seriously, we tried them all, and kept coming back to AMI Beach Hut. There are so many flavors, toppings, and a quite little area to hang out in. Mike is also such a kind soul- and his ability to scoop ice cream so fast is impressive.
On a busy Saturday night, they were supposed to close at 10pm, and there was still a massive line. I asked Mike if he was going to close it down- and he said “and ruin their smiles!? No way”. It was super thoughtful.
We will be back!“

“This is the best ice cream on the island bar none! Have been coming to it for over 30 years including the old location. The owner is top notch. Enjoyed chatting with him just ahead of the fourth over some of his award winning ice cream. My go to spot on the island.“

“Josh from Rod and Reel recommended Two Scoops to me and my friends. Such a great recommendation!!! Sweet young ladies indulged us with samples and allowed us time to pick the most delicious ice cream ever. I had chocolate with chocolate covered nuts and bits of fudge and a 2nd scoop of salted caramel with pretzel pieces. Yummm! I hope the beautiful young lady that helped me goes to Rod and Reel to meet Josh! Tell him the old ladies sent you ❤️“

“I’ve seen this place many times while on the way to the beach. Decided finally to check it out. The cheeseburger was a 10/10. The chicken fingers were 10/10. The fries were 10/10. The Mozzarella sticks were 7/10. The peach shake my wife ordered was a disappointing 3/10. The chocolate shake I ordered was a 7/10.

I’m a little shocked the shakes weren’t better when they are the namesake. The food was super good though.“

Icecream is fantastic and a big thank you to Zachary for going above and Beyond when my daughter needed a lid to go, but the ice cream was in the car so he personally walked outside to find the right size for her, which was very nice“

“Best gelato I’ve had in the US!
Pistachio flavor is unreal. The texture is right, not too sweet, perfectly creamy, no artificial aftertaste, a little salty.
The service was also very nice and quick, even though this place gets very busy. Everything was nice and clean. Prices are reasonable. Will be back!“

Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Shop • $
3302 E Bay Dr, Holmes Beach - 3.06 miles

“We are staying in Anna Maria and I wanted to get a nice ice cream cake for my husband’s birthday! I knew Baskin-Robbins was at the Dunkin place so I called on Friday hoping to get a cake for late Saturday or early Sunday. I was given the number for a different Baskin location and was told to ask for Theresa, the cake decorator. When I got Theresa on the phone and explained what I was looking for, she could not have been more helpful!! She was awaiting an ice cream delivery so she called me back later that day to give me the information I needed. I ended up ordering a chocolate cookie, Oreo fudge creation with chocolate ice cream. I told Theresa I wanted to get it at 7:15 AM on Sunday. She told me it would be there. She even called again on Saturday to confirm my choices. We got to Dunkin early and I honestly was BLOWN away that the cake was there !! It was so delicious that our entire “party” of 6 enjoyed it for two nights!! Theresa is an incredible asset to Baskin and does a GREAT job!!“

“We used to enjoy Sweet Berries, dedpite habitually slow service. No more, after last night. We ordered soups & salads (most likely already prepared) to eat in, then sat & sat & sat while to-go orders were called - several of them had bern put in AFTER we had ordered. After half an hour my husband checked with them as to the status & was told it would be right up. More to-go orders were taken * filled, while we sat, waiting. We finally threw in the towel & demanded our money back & left. We won't ne back, and we will no longer recommend Sweet Berries to others.“

“Was the best burger (mushroom and Swiss) that I've had in a very long time. It was also the best banana shake that I ever had! It's a bit pricey, but all fast food is these days and I'd rather pay an extra few dollars on something that's worth it than drop $20+ on something that's not and that I cannot even finish! Thank you Culvers!“
