50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Anna Maria

“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!“

“Omg! Yum. Can’t speak to service but online ordering was easy. Half burritos are nice for smaller appetite. One of the best burritos I’ve had!!!!! I just wished I would have tried it before our last day here.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“One of our favorite spots for food .. always go to St Armand’s and decided to check out the Longboat location, it did not disappoint! Views, service, easy docking 💗💗💗“

“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.“

“Always pleasant staff and MOST delicious Smoked food! Love the brisket sandwich, the crispy Brussels seasoned to perfection and the Poutine (fries w/cheese curds & beef gravy) is my favorite! LOVE the food here, always delicious!“

“Beach Bistro absolutely lived up to the hype. The filet was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly, and even the bread was memorable — the honey and sea salt combination was amazing. The tartare was excellent as well.

For dessert, I had the dark chocolate dessert and my wife had the passion fruit panna cotta. I ended up mixing the two together, and the combination was 🔥🔥🔥. The rich dark chocolate with the bright passion fruit was unreal.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. Easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Absolutely deserving of 5 stars.“

“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!“

“Best Thai in Bradenton! Fast and friendly service and the most relaxing and well decorated atmosphere. Food was fantastic, portions were amazing. Highly recommend, I’ll 100% be back when I visit the area next year❤️“

“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!“

“First time visiting and we will be back again before we leave to go home. We have been visiting different beach towns in FL for last 10 years and every year we find a pizza place within that area to get BLT pizza. BLT pizza is a Midwest staple and we have really good pizza back home so when I tried Pizzano’s BLT I was genuinely shocked, it’s my new fav! So so good, do not miss out on this restaurant. 10/10!“

“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.“

“It was a stormy day that ended with a rainbow at Mar Vista. The food was perfect!!“

“My fiancé and I had dinner here earlier this evening and it was sooo good! We had the basil fried rice with scallops for the entree and vegetable egg rolls for the appetizer. We will definitely be back! Delicious food and great atmosphere!“

“What a great place. My wife and I were visiting from the UK and found this gem of a restaurant. Ate there a few times. The food is outstanding; fish is really fresh and cooked to perfection. Saw someone having a steak?? Why have beef in a seafood restaurant ? Favourite restaurant of our trip.“

“Had a quick chill lunch with my bff, sat outside. Craig’s service was above and beyond!“

“Amazing staff - so kind and fun! And the food is delicious!“

“Kate was exceptional as we had 9 women who arrived thinking we had reservations! I had made reservations in key largo!!! Kate immediately attended to us and quickly cleared and sat a table for 9, even though they were really busy. Brian was our server and handled our service and he was excellent as well. Yummy food with a friendly atmosphere topped our evening! Thanks again Lazy Lobster in LONGBOAT key!!!!“

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!“

“Born raisesd in Philly. stopped here at lunch with Reece Builders and was not expecting the best one in Florida hands down. if I lived closer I'd have a few of dem jawns weekly!“

“Listen, I’m a perfectionist. I don’t think everyone deserves a perfect review. This place however, is the best place I’ve been. My husband who is also extremely picky with sushi/seafood, etc., will not go anywhere else. His family, our family, anyone we speak to loves this place and will drive 30+ minutes even when we will pass 5+ other sushi places on the way there. When we don’t have the time we spend an extra 30+ dollars getting it delivered because we have been spoiled here.“

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

“Love the location and live music!“

“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!“

“Love the amazing friendly atmosphere. Great food, great music and especially our bartender Trever. He always makes sure you have exactly what you need and what you want. Pay attention to detail.!“

“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.“

“great food and great staff“

“We came for drinks and had a great experience. The location is beautiful, service was attentive and drinks were delicious. Our server even provided us free queso which was piping hot and flavorful. We didn’t order food but it looked and smelled great. There was also a very rude group of 10+ who walked in before us and how the host handled them was impressive. Not rude but direct (the customers were being quite rude). There was live music and it was an enjoyable stop for a few drinks!“

“5 stars for family friendly atmosphere, great food, and cold beer! The owners Staci and Josh have worked so hard alongside their staff to bring back the Boiler Room and boy have they outdone themselves! We have been many times since they re-opened the doors, and every time has been great service and delicious food. Kid approved too! They were also very accommodating when we brought 11 family members in for Monday night football! We cannot recommend Boiler Room enough. YUM!“

“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“

“Have eaten here twice in one week. Took friends there Saturday night. This place is awesome. Friendly staff and great food.“

“Food is fantastic. Staff is kind and attentive. Only concern is had was the clean-up guy wipe every table with the same rag/cloth. So 6 tables he wiped and then he'd put the rag on the shelf and use it for the next table, so the germs would go from table to table. Not once did I see him rinse the rag for cleanliness. Owner should regulate that.“

“joey d,s all the food is made with love 💕 can't ask. for.more .....“
