“I have mixed feelings. The Burrito: It is definitely not “huge” - it is an average size (I have a small hand) and I was not full after eating it. The server was so stingy on the ingredients she put literally a SPRINKLE of cheese and half a scoop of chicken. It was mostly rice and beans. The BYO Quesadilla: It had BARELY any cheese… this should absolutely not be called a Quesadilla but rather just a pressed taco. The flavor wasn’t bad but this is by no means a real Quesadilla. The Taco: flavor was good, but there was hardly any protein in it. Overall, I didn’t dislike my meal - it was slightly above average in taste. But the items are misleading and the portions are small for the price. I won’t be returning but if you want some quick Mexican, I wouldn’t discourage you from coming here - it was alright.“

“was recently at The Sand Bar for a beautiful and intimate wedding on a postcard perfect Friday night. I was not involved in the planning of this wedding leading up to that wonderful night but the Bride and Groom had nothing but good things to say about the staff here that assisted them in all their preparations. I met Bailey the day of the wedding and she was about the nicest person I have ever met. Her professionalism and organization made any help from us unnecessary. Bailey, Rick the bartender, the entire event staff, the restaurant staff and the vendors were all amazing and made the whole evening a wonderful, seamless affair for family and friends who all came out to celebrate this wonderful couple. I don’t know how they made it look so effortless and even special ordered us a perfect sunset! If you are thinking of having your special event here , you will not be disappointed. Thank you guys again for everything!“

“One of the only truly local places left on the island. Original. If you don't like it you don't like it that's great. But if you don't like it don't try to change it, it is old school. But if you love atmosphere and you like greasy food and great people you'll love it! Relax and great Scenic area, smile and meet some cool people.“

“Our server took our drink and appetizer order. Then from then we had to wave down another server for more drinks and our sandwiches and cake. The food was delicious. The service was not so great. Hard to recommend it, when we have to beg for service. Our original server did bring our bill which we had asked for. She immediately asked for my card to pay. She did in the end thank us. But she was not was friendly. She did not ask us how our food was. I did not feel appreciated.“

“Very very very good sandwiches! We had a Korean BBQ beef sandwich, a beef brisket burger and what felt like half a ton of sensational fries. Drinks are “refill”. The staff was very friendly and we received our food quickly. The places outside are also quite nice.“

“If you're on the hunt for a cold beverage and an incredibly tasty burger, Duffy's is a MUST visit on AMI! No frills and no fries, but there are lots of hot and fresh burger options. We devoured both a plain pepper jack cheeseburger and a blue cheese crumble and camarelized onions burger! Highly recommend this multi-generational, family owned establishment...great burgers and service to match!“

“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.“

“Went here because the line at other 2 restaurants nearby was outrageous and were very pleasantly surprised! Our waiter Josh was extremely polite and fun. Suggested a few things of the menu, we loved it all! Mahi mahi tacos were my favorite. Mocktails are not on the menu but per request barman made me a delicious one! Definitely worth giving a try!“

“We highly recommend this restaurant for so many reasons! To begin with we just recently got back from Montego Bay, Jamaica, and couldn’t believe how authentic and tasty the food at this place is!! Today we started with some ice-cold Red Stripe beers followed by the curry goat entrées with amazing sides… my wife had the macaroni and cheese, and the sweet plantains while I had the cabbage and the rice and beans. Everything was beyond delicious and I couldn’t get it in my mouth fast enough. Come here for the food and it will not disappoint.“

Service was great and quick too! Really enjoyed dinner tonight! Thank you!“

“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!!“

“We love this place. They serve free chips and salsa. The salsa is made in house and it's OMG good. We were here 3 times this week and all of our meals were great. We had a different server each time and all were super friendly and very attentive. Don't forget to try their house margarita. One of the best in the island.“

“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!“

“We were there after 1:00, weekday. Great views and vibe. Had the steak and cheese, which was amazing! Our apps were disappointing. The chicken livers and onions I really wanted to love, tasted peppery. The shrimp escargot was not worth finishing. No flavor at all. The melted cheese on it and the bread served with it were the best part of the dish. Our server was a bit forgetful but very friendly. We will return for sure for the sandwich and will read the reviews of food items before ordering.“

“Another wonderful dining experience at LaNorma. My wife started with the Mediterraneo salad and I enjoyed the eggplant involtini, which were both excellent. We both had the branzino & putannesca which was amazing. Fish cooked perfectly, they easily accommodated her gluten-free request, and the sauce was delicious. Perfect service by Paula. Cannot wait to return next week, bringing family coming to Longboat for the first time.“

“Recommended on a FB Anna Maria Island Life page….. they were sooo right! Walking in you can clearly see they truly have bait and clean fish there. Very casual and super quaint. The Grouper sandwich came highly recommended. We’ve been eating them all week at different restaurants and every year we come down on different parts of the Gulf. This one ranks at the top! Our waitress explained “he” catches, cleans, fillets and hand breads each fillet. There is a different type of breading for each type of fish according to the type. Gotta try if you want fresh grouper done right!“

“This place just makes you feel at home. It’s cozy, and the waitresses are all kind.You get your food very fast, but at the same time there’s no “rush” that you see at other breakfast places, as in no fast paced panic. In all honesty; I was having a horrible morning before I walked in with my family, and the atmosphere here just exudes happiness and kindness, for lack of better words. You really have to try it to experience the warm, home-like feeling. I will visit this place every time I am near Bradenton.“

“Me and my husband called in a take out pizza from here. By the time we got off the beach it was ready, about 15 minutes. We got pepperoni, green peppers, and onions. This pizza was SO GOOD. You could tell it was wood fired, the pepperonis were crispy, and the toppings fresh.“
