50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Anna Maria

“Lovely French restaurant and bakery. Outdoor area is dreamy!! Amazing staff.“

“Nick is very knowledgeable and provides an excellent product. I highly recommend!!“

“We had such a great experience at Pizza Social that we went twice during our week-long vacation! Our first visit was on a Sunday evening, and they were very busy—it took about an hour to get our pizza during that peak time. But honestly, it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We came back again on Friday night, and it was much less crowded—our order was ready in about 35 minutes. We tried the AMI pizza, the barbecue chicken pizza, and a classic pepperoni, and every single one was delicious. The staff was also super friendly both times we picked up our order, which made the experience even better. Can’t say enough great things about the food here—definitely a must-visit if you’re on the island!“

“We ordered brisket for a work luncheon, and it was absolutely the best we’ve ever had! Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everyone loved it, and we’ll definitely be ordering again.“

“Such a cute ice cream spot in Anna Maria! The ice cream was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and it was the perfect little stop after spending time at the beach. So many good flavors to choose from and everything tasted fresh. Definitely a must-stop if you’re in the area!“

“Don't have an attitude? the host or Hostess will happily give you one. I would buy this restaurant just to fire them. Local? they'll treat you like a tourist which you would think they would be good to because they are the suckers they are dying to get in. " Hi how long for 2 people"? an hour to an hour and a half out of season.... no "I'm sorry, the wait is over an hour" nope you get "Fair enough" when you say you don't want to wait that long. no reservations yet some dude with a party of 4 just walked right in and was seated.... over rated is an understatement. AVOID ...NOT WORTH IT. Possibly the most overrated restaurant in an area of bad restaurants“

“Quick and delicious late lunch - the steak and cheese was awesome, and so was the cheeseburger! Friendly service and fair prices - can’t beat it!“

“Good people, food and vibes!“

“Amazing staff and Excellent Dinner !“

“amazing food everything was on point the tacos were amazing. I dont even like quac and I ate all of theres great flavor. the staff was super friendly amazing food this is my new Mexican food spot 100% recommended“

“Highly recommend! The drinks and Açaí bowl are amazing. Fresh fruits and very good!“

“stopped in for lunch today. the food was decent, needed more flavor for me. the service was lack luster. waited over ten minutes from time being seated with menus until a server came over to bring us water and see if we wanted anything else. the server returned a couple times, but then at the end was too involved with her cellphone at the service station. even to the point of taking it over to 2 other employees to see before realizing that we were growing inpatient with waiting for the check. overall I give it a 7/10.“

“I loved my breakfast at this place, the panini was amazing and real lemon juice…omg!“

“Island living. Most welcoming people and great spot out of the fray. Cold beer and wine and excellent grouper bites.“

“the food is always amazing. i’ve learned over the years that good customer service isn’t perfection because that isn’t possible. good customer service is how you handle mishaps. the service we experienced tonight was top notch from josiah ! there was a minor kitchen mishap that was honestly a minor inconvenience at best however the way he handled it made us feel so very valued! the ambiance is the best in town with its whimsy not just in decor but with the menu! ask for josiah you won’t be disappointed“

“I get a healthy shake every time I come to get my hair or nails done! Not loaded with sugars and full of protein. They all taste amazing, but I’m hooked on chocolate and pnut butter ! Better prices than any other place like and healthier. 5 stars from me ☺️“

“Anna Maria Oyster Bar - Ellenton, FL After spending the day at the Florida State Fair in Tampa, my fiancé and I decided to stop by Anna Maria Oyster Bar in Ellenton—and we’re so glad we did! We ordered fried oysters, French fries, and cheese grits, and everything was absolutely delicious. The oysters were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside yet tender and flavorful inside. The cheese grits were just the way I like them—nice and thick—and the fries were a great complement to the meal. Even better, our food arrived quickly and fresh. Our waitress, Lilly, was fantastic, providing friendly and attentive service. We also appreciated how the rest of the staff greeted us warmly as we walked through the restaurant. It’s little details like that that make a place feel extra welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, including the bathrooms, which is always a big plus. Anna Maria Oyster Bar now has four locations, and after this experience, I’d definitely visit again. If you’re in the Ellenton area and craving fresh seafood with great service, this spot is a must-try!“

“Most amazing German food that I’ve ever had. Servers were very friendly & knowledgeable about the dishes that the chef creates. Add in authentic German beer and this place is a must visit. Definitely worth the drive if you are anywhere nearby. I could eat here every meal as there are many options and everything tastes wonderful. Sehr gutt und wundebar!“

“If you are looking for great coffee, gifts and a nice happy hour, Back Alley is you place! Drop in and say hi to Tammi and the rest of the super friendly staff. One of our favorite places on the Island on Bridge Street!“

“Ate here first time today, 4-12-22, for lunch. Wonderful fresh fish. Generous portions. Pricing commensurate with quality. Clean, well-lit, modern space. Good service. I'll be back!“

“Chef Melissa was absolutely wonderful and made our Siesta Key weekend feel extra special. We hired her for a private family birthday dinner, and from start to finish everything was seamless.

The food was beautifully prepared, fresh, and delicious, and the presentation made the evening feel like a true restaurant experience in our own vacation home. She was professional, warm, organized, and handled everything so we could simply relax and enjoy the night with our family.

It was such a treat to have appetizers followed by a lovely dinner without having to leave the house, especially while traveling with our grandson. Chef Melissa helped make an already special family weekend even more memorable.

We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef in the Siesta Key/Sarasota area.“

“My morning stop ALWAYS!! I have had their tea, açaí bowl, and protein waffle—everything tasted really good and felt filling without being too heavy. Staff was friendly, service was quick, and the vibe was super positive.“

Holley was our server and we had a great experience.

Wine was delicious too!“

“Danny Fernandez is BACK!!!! The REAL Danny's Pizzeria is BACK!!!! I was soooo happy to see Danny behind the counter when I walked in. I have been going to Danny's Pizzeria for years until the new ownership happened, ate once, twice, three times then never again. Now that Danny is back, I am sure it will be a weekly event once again. Had lunch 12/10/22, service was 100% top notch, and the food was excellent, as it once was! Thank you for coming back!“

“The best meal I’ve had on Longboat Key in 6 years…we did the Savor Sarasota extended meal with wine - $60/person, and everything was well above expectations: great wines by the glass, the tris di bruschetta was the best I’ve ever had, as were the meatballs, and the pastas, branzino and tiramisu all are worthy of ordering again.“
