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 absolutely LOVE this little ice cream shop on Pine Avenue out on Anna Maria Island!

Not only is the ice cream amazing, but the employees are hands-down some of the sweetest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet. They always greet you with a smile, are so patient (even with big family orders), and genuinely make every visit feel special.

And let’s talk about my all-time favorite flavor — Exhausted Parent. It is SO good and honestly the perfect name because it feels like a well-deserved treat after a long day. It’s rich, delicious, and totally worth every bite.

If you’re visiting AMI, this place is a must-stop. Great ice cream, wonderful staff, and the perfect Pine Ave vibe. Our favorite ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food and great service. Our waiter Rogelio was excellent. Very nice ambiance, highly recommend Harry's.“

“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!“

“We had the pompano fish, Atlantic salmon and seafood salad sandwich. ALL delicious! The woman who took our order was warm and friendly and was glad to answer any questions we had as this was our first visit. We are not from this area but plan to visit yearly and Star Fish will definitely be on our list of places to eat!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best burger in Anna Maria. Loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff. We felt so welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed the food with a cold beer!“

“We are vacationing in Anna Maria Island this week.
We were referred to Chef Melissa by the homeowner of our beach house rental.
Chef Melissa has been a perfect 10 out of 10 for us!
First, she was an absolute pleasure to work with in designing the menus for our family. We asked her to cook for two nights this week: Tuesday and tonight, Thursday. The food was perfectly prepared, she left the kitchen in our home spotless and best of all, she’s a delightful and funny person.
We are all stuffed and there are leftovers for tomorrow. She was so sweet to have separate menu selections for our granddaughter. You get what you pay for and if you want the absolute best, call Chef Melissa! I recommend her without hesitation and we will call her again when we return!“

“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!“

“My son and I love having tea parties together here.“

“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!“

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

“I took my brother to dinner for his birthday last week based on his suggestion. I’ve never been prior to our visit for his birthday. Oh my gosh, the menu is absolutely amazing. The food is next level. I loved the stuffed jumbo mushrooms so much so that I ordered a second helping. Oh my gosh, just everything was so good I cannot say enough about this place. The drinks are very, very good as well as they have a full bar, but the food OMG, exceptional!“

“oue favorite place, dinner, great people and bar“

“Food was amazing and the service was top notch. Highly recommend if you visit the island“

“The perfect choice for spending a day at the beach!“

“Absolutely loved this restaurant! The pizza was fresh, flavorful and perfectly cooked with the best crispy crust! But the real surprise was the Caesar salad, probably one of the best I’ve had at a restaurant. Fresh romaine, delicious dressing, and perfectly seasoned. Great food, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. Highly recommend!“

“This place does not disappoint. You get what you pay for from service, to food and drinks. Make a reservation there was a line before it opened. Keep checking back online as it was booked two days before I went but the night before I was able to make a reservation. I can not say enough good things about this place. Best recommendation my exgf gave me was to try this place. 😊“

“First night in town and we choose this great Irish pub! We started with the grouper bites, very good and fresh! I had the blackened grouper but one end wasn't coated with seasoning and was pretty fishy tasting. My wife had the burger which was sized nicely and great flavor.“

“Been going there for years ! Never had a bad meal and the music talent is great ! Whoever is on the grill cooking those steaks gets it right every time! Keep up the good work ! You guys rock!“

“Our first time here with our shy rescue dog and we were welcomed warmly. Our waitress brought over large bowl of ice water for him. The eggs Benedict and shrimp with grits dishes were presented nicely and were so delicious 😋. Will be coming back to this sweet neighborhood gem. Staff so friendly. Nice size portions. Wine was delicious too!“

“john the manger of the food n gift shop was a Hella of a nice guy as we say in the Midwest Midwest nice“

“Not a thing I don’t like. It’s always amazing and staff makes you feel like family. I go more than I should 🤣 the staff knows what you want when you walk in.“

“I absolutely love their Penne Al Vodka with Chicken, Greek salad, and of course pizza! Fast friendly service. We order at least once a week! A must try in Bayshore“

“Fun night! Was great service, food and people!“

“This is THE SPOT. Wow! Their famous Chicken and biscuit was so delicious, juicy and flavorful. Home fries….yes! Kids had Mickey Mouse pancakes and yes, I snuck a few bites. Also one of the few places with a good coffee menu…thank goodness! Espresso Freddo (cold) hit the spot on a hot day. Service was 100%.“

“On our way to Anna Maria island and we found this gem! Oh my goodness was it DELICIOUS! Service was great and the food was even better. 1000/10!“

“My new favorite LBK restaurant! The Grouper Ruben is AMAZING!“

“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!“

“Just visiting this week from up North and I was looking for a Mexican place for lunch that had good vegetarian options. I was very pleased to see that they offered tempeh as one of the protein choices. The staff was very kind and took great care making the food. I ordered a burrito and they made the tortilla in a tortilla press which was outstanding. I also ordered the chips with a side of guacamole and they made the chips right in front of us. Truly one of the best burritos I've ever had.“

“Would love some music or entertainment , nothing grand, just pleasant upbeat jazz(no elevator music). thanks for asking. You're happy hours are a treat for seniors...don't count us out!“

“Excellent beach vibe with a tremendous selection of food. The duck is my favorite“

“Yummy breakfast ! Eggs Benedict“

“good food. Tiffany. our waitress was great. She made a good meal excellent.“

“We love that we finally tried the food. The burgers are put together well, like the person making it would be eating it. The fries are made from fresh potatoes, so just like homemade. They have a sign stating what farm the potatoes are from that they are using that day. They also have self-serve, roasted, in the shell peanuts to eat while you wait for your food to be cooked.

Vegetarian options: There is a vege burger listed on the menu.

Parking: The restaurant is at the end of a strip building so there's a big parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's plenty of room at different tables to pull a wheelchair up to.“
