“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!“

“We had a great experience tonight! With two littles, they knowingly placed us in front of the fish tank to help with entertainment. Our server was speedy, kind, and had honest and helpful recommendations for the food. Everything was fast, fresh, and delicious. The lobster bisque, lobster mac and cheese, Salmon Renee, and Blood Orange Margarita were the table faves! We are Tampa locals and will be back!“

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!“

“Oh where to start!
We were vacationing in Anna Maria for our 10th year and Beach Bistro was recommended for my birthday outing.
We called ahead and found that you have 2 choices here- the 4 course Dinner in main dining room- or- a la carte from bar area.
We chose the latter.
It was beautiful in looks right off. Old wood, low ceilings etc. Very warm and inviting!

Greeted by our bartender who was so gracious and kind.
Led us through anything we asked and made a fabulous drink !
We enjoyed those 2 hours more than we could say.
The food was one good bite after another !
We started with a fresh salad, then an appetizer of shrimp & crab which were perfect.
Entree was Lobster tail and Grouper. All fantastic!
The dessert was vanilla ice cream rolled in pralines topped with slivered almonds and Frangelica!
Still thinking of that now!

Cannot wait to go back next year as this is our new place to be !“

“Definitely a diamond in the rough!! There were 5 in our party and even tho we waited awhile it was definitely worth it. Our waitress was excellent and let us know from the beginning that she was backed up but would be back to us as soon as she could check on the other tables. She was actually the only server on duty!! The food was also excellent and well worth the wait and the price was very reasonable. We also sat where we could watch the kitchen staff working their butts off handling table orders as well as a stream of take out orders. All 5 of us agreed our experience was worth every minute. While we were there I didn't hear any complaints at all, which is highly unusual when you have any kind of wait. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We even tipped the kitchen staff for their hard work.“

“Absolutely best place for eating. Sushi or full cooking plates. Excellent. I love this place ❤️.

Kid-friendliness: Kids is just welcome 🙏. Best of the best.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, wheelchair access. ♿️“

“Highly recommend delicious authentic italian. Would definitely return on our next visit to AMI.“

“Best meal we had on vacation. Party of 6 and it was unanimous. We all agreed this place was amazing. We had 2 people with gluten allergies and they were both astonished at how much was available for them. They both safely ate until they were stuffed full! We all did really! Every single thing was delicious and authentic. We already agreed it will be a staple when we come down again! Probably at least 2 times a trip!“

“Huge portions. Everything we tried was tender and fall off the bone. Best fried catfish I've had“

“Went there with my wife as a dinner date and the food was amazing. We both agreed that we will be going back there in the future“

“I didn't have food so I can't rate, the inside bartender saw me in line, 2 men stepped in when a group of girls walked away, she took there order and then told them I will get that as soon as I serve him, that's what makes a great bartender and great service, the guy added my drink to their order however great job to that bartender.

Parking: Around building and in back.“

“One of my favorite spots on the island is this place, especially when Olivia is our server. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, she knows just how to lift my spirits; I can't stand boring servers. The street tacos are fantastic, and the nachos are a must. The margaritas are always strong and never watered down. Thanks for the great experience, Olivia and team!“

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

“I would like to thank Elexas and Madison for their great customer service. These two ladies made my 1st experience at Joey D's a great one. They were friendly, kind, and considerate. Thank you! RaDawn“

“OFFICIALLY the best breakfast in town!!! FRESH FOOD COOKED TO PERFECTION!!!

I cannot express enough to the cooks hostess and especially our waitress Payton!! (Sorry if I spelt it wrong) such a amazing waitress!!!! She needs a raise for sure!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE KEEP BEING AMAZING!!!“

“The sushi was fresh. And they do have a kids menu.“

“It’s a shame someone can’t get this place going again! Like everyone says hands down best steak sandwich in town and I agree ! Apparently the owner of building wants 7k rent that’s a big nut to crack to turn a profit! So sad to see such a great place go out of business! Hope they can reorganize ??“

“The food was amazing, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The prices were very fair and affordable. They could stand to clean their a/c return vents and probably replace the filters, otherwise it was a very clean restaurant including the bathrooms. Look forward to returning on my next visit in town!

Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu options, very well priced, crayons and games on the paper menu.“

“This place had THE BEST bagel breakfast sandwiches! Fresh and REAL ingredients and the owner and staff were amazing! We will definitely frequent this place a few times whenever we’re blessed to be on the island. They made you feel like old friends, like we were locals. We talked about it the whole way to the airport. Thanks Jackie for the wonderful send off! Curious George and Jenn.“

“Decided to go here on a Wednesday evening and there weren't many people there. Usually a red flag but we are in off season and their prices aren't super consistent with having a ton of people. Anyway.
Service was excellent and had a great conversation while getting excellent food service.
Food quality was incredible as there was incredible depth to the food. The portion size isn't what I'm used to at most Italian restaurants. They were far smaller than usual. However. I preferred the smaller plates and focus on quality. This is one of the hidden gems on the key. Please, especially if you prefer a home cooked, reasonably portioned Italian food.... Do it. I will be ordering takeout (at least) and should provide an updated review if anything changes.

Please, if you're out here reading this, give it a shot.“

“A Pleasurable Dining Experience at R.J. Gator’s Restaurant in Bradenton, FL Rating: 4 out of 5 stars We just went to visit to R.J. Gator’s Restaurant in Bradenton, FL and it was an overall pleasurable dining experience. From the moment we stepped in, I was captivated by the restaurant’s neat and inviting atmosphere, accompanied by an awesome menu that delighted my taste buds. R.J.’s has done an exceptional job in creating a welcoming environment. The restaurant was clean, and the tastefully neat decor contributed to a cozy and comfortable ambiance. I found myself instantly relaxed and ready to enjoy a fantastic meal. Speaking of the menu, R.J.’s certainly knows how to impress. The array of options available was remarkable, showcasing a diverse range of culinary delights. I was delighted to find both familiar favorites and unique dishes that piqued my curiosity. Each bite I took was a testament to the chef’s skill and dedication, as the food was undeniably yummy. In addition to the delectable flavors, Gator’s also excelled in providing reasonable prices and generous portions. I felt that the value for money was excellent, and the portion sizes were more than satisfactory. It was evident that R. J.’s takes pride in ensuring their customers are satisfied both in terms of taste and quantity. While my experience was largely positive, I did encounter a minor setback with the service. The waitress seemed slightly inattentive during my visit, which occasionally required me to seek her attention multiple times. However, this did not overshadow the overall excellence of the restaurant. In conclusion, Gator’s Restaurant in Bradenton, FL offers a delightful dining experience. The neat atmosphere, awesome menu, and delicious food combine to create a memorable visit. Despite a minor issue with the service, I wholeheartedly recommend here for anyone seeking a satisfying meal in a cozy setting!!“

“Can’t say much about the food here but the marina service is top notch ! The marina could use some work and it’s not as fancy as other places around, but we come back year after year and rent a slip and storage May-August solely because of Harley. He is always a joy to interact with, honest and hardworking. He addresses any issue or concern with haste, makes us feel like family every summer and is always super accommodating to my handicapped father when he comes with us to the marina which means the world to us. Can’t say enough good things about him!“

“The pizza here was amazing! My family and I arrived late on Friday night and the owner (I didn't get his name) was so gracious to let us in and serve us. He was so welcoming and shared the history of the restaurant and gave us great tips in fun family things to do on the island. I am so glad we stopped in! It was a great experience! We will definitely be back!“

“100 % recommend! Delicious food! Beautiful place with the water front. Great staff.“
