50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bradenton Beach

“Pane e Amore was by far the BEST Italian my husband and I have eaten! Portions are perfect, food was thoughtfully made to perfection! I could taste all the individual flavors in the rigatoni alla vodka! The owner/ chef exceeded our expectations and made us feel like family. This will be a forever place for us! Go in, request a table, and soak up the experience! Buon Appetito 🇮🇹🍝“

“Back Alley is my favorite shop at my favorite beach. Its usually an every day stop while we're staying on the island. The coffee is always fantastic and I find the best souvenirs there. I especially love drinking coffee from my Back Alley Insulated cup at home because it reminds me of my happy place when I cant be there. Today was a fantastic day because I got to visit Back Alley! It was our first time in since all the storm damage and the place looks even more beautiful than it did before!“

“I had a health concern happen while I was entertaining myself and the locals with some guitar music, good conversation and lots of pool games. I got dehydrated and the paranoia set in hard. Luckily these folks are good people and all my belongings were kept, safely. When I got well and was able to retrieve them. I was well cared for and never made to feel unwelcome though I’m afraid I might have made a fool of myself. Maybe again some day without the dehydration? I hope so!“

“If you are in the Bradenton, Florida area I highly recommend visiting Bayshore Nutrition. The owner is so nice, the store is beautifully decorated and the teas, protein donuts, energy bites, chocolate pb protein parfait were outstanding! We will definitely be back! 🫶🏼🙌🏻“

“We stopped by Pelican’s Snoballs in Bradenton and were pleasantly surprised! They have a huge variety of flavors to choose from, and the snoballs are soft, fluffy, and packed with that authentic New Orleans flavor. A perfect treat on a hot Florida day!

They’re currently running a great deal—$20 for 25 coins, and each coin is worth $1. It’s a fun and budget-friendly way to treat the whole family. In addition to snoballs, they also offer other frozen treats and ice cream options, so there’s something for everyone.

Parking is a little limited, but there’s a picnic area with shaded seating and yard games, which made the experience even more enjoyable for the kids. It’s a laid-back, family-friendly spot we’d definitely visit again!“

“Just visited the restaurant for the first time after a long drive from the Panhandle, we are from London England and saw the reviews online and were not disappointed. Purely authentic food, fresh and tasty, great service from Matt. All staff were welcoming and friendly. The seafood was delicious and the keylime pie to die for. Will definitely be back next time we are in Florida. Give the place a try for yourselves 👌🏻“

“Our family of eight arrived after closing time, thinking the shop was still open until 11. Tyler, Lorenzo, and the team kindly stayed late to serve us and even offered helpful recommendations since it was our first visit. We had a wonderful time celebrating our daughter’s birthday, and everyone loved their ice cream choices. The customer service was outstanding, and the ice cream was just as amazing. We’re so grateful for the experience and will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Great place to get an icy cool treat. Place is very clean, great employees that have great recommendations as well.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of my favorite spots in the area. The food is always fresh, the portions are great, and everything tastes homemade. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Whether it’s breakfast, a smoothie, or a quick bite, they never miss. Definitely a go-to place highly recommend!“

“We were staying at the SpringHill Suites in Bradenton, the Oak and Stone is a restaurant on the first floor. It has good bar food and lots of different beers. You can serve yourself beer from a large number of Taps on the wall where you pay by the ounce. When crowded it gets very noisy. Seems to attract tourists and Young Folks and groups. Well worth the stop to see if it fits your style.“

“Loved this place! Thank you for taking care of us!“

“Melissa was the consummate professional and excellent personal chef! She was extremely organized and every single course she prepared was outstanding! It was a truly wonderful evening and her delicious food and beautiful presentation so aptly captured the essence of our “Cheers to 65 years” with our Highschool Girlfriends!!“

“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!“

“This really is a unique place. Melissa is extremely humble, intelligent, and GREAT at making coffee. Every time you order here, you know you've just been served the good stuff by the best team. Sunday mornings are a special treat as a parade of very happy regulars from all over Bradenton can't wait to stop by their favorite coffee shop. Way to go, Orange Blossom!“

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

“During our trip to Anna Maria Island we visited Dips almost every night! Best ice cream flavors and the ice cream doesn’t compare to others. The service was great. We are going to miss our nightly trips to Dips! We would highly recommend!!“

“The Shrimp and Lobster risotto is amazing! Can’t wait to have it again on our next trip.“

“I celebrated my birthday at this quaint and unique space last month, and have been back several times since.
Meaghan, the owner, is friendly, accommodating, and a lovely person to chat with.
We have tried just about everything on their food menu, as well as sampled many of their wines. Everything we tried we loved!
We particularly enjoyed the Lola Pinot Noir. As we learned, Lola, is the label of her brother's vineyard in the Sonoma Valley.
Don't expect over-the-top service, expect excellent food, excellent wine, and excellent conversation.
Just love this place! Supporting local restauranteurs is so important. Keep the national chains from absorbing or forcing the mom and pops out.
Cheers to the entire Jennings Provisions team!“

“Cute place, first glance walking in, it was very clean looking and feeling. All of our food came out in a timely manor, server was on top of the drinks and checked on us frequently. The owner came over and checked on us and was very friendly as well.“

“Cherry Cobbler is an Oh My Wow good cobbler. Jessica & Paul are delightful people. I will be back.“

“Stopped in for breakfast. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Will be back for lunch another time.“

“I have driven by many times and we finally stopped by. They are usually doing business like crazy every time we drive by. After eating the tacos... im coming back A LOT. The food is great, I cant wait to go back and try everything else. These tacos are fantastic, we got the carnitas and sauces but honestly these are fine just the way they are...perfect.“

“Exceptional Ice Cream Shop with Outstanding Service! This ice cream shop goes above and beyond in every way! The service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The staff made sure every customer felt welcome, offering samples with a smile and patiently answering questions about flavors. Their hospitality truly elevated the experience. As for the ice cream? Freshly made, rich, and unbelievably delicious! You can taste the care in every scoop—creamy, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. Whether you stick with a classic or try something bold, it’s hands-down the best ice cream I’ve ever had. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates top-tier service and unforgettable treats! 🍦✨ 10/10—will be back again and again!“

“I gotta say, Alicia at Paddywagon is awesome! She’s super friendly and makes you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Even when the place is packed, she never lets you wait too long for a drink. Alicia knows her stuff when it comes to making drinks. She’s quick, and her cocktails are always spot on. Plus, she’s really good at remembering what you like if you’re a regular. She’s always got a smile on her face and is up for a chat, which makes hanging out at Paddywagon even better. The bar’s always clean and she handles everything like a pro, even when things get a little crazy. If you’re looking for a good time and great service, Alicia’s your girl. Go check her out at Paddywagon – you won’t be disappointed!“

“No food, just drink and smoking indoors. Nice atmosphere if you're looking for an old school pub feel. The ventilation system and open doors manages to move the smoke out pretty well. It is a local place, but friendly to visitors. Fun place for a pint or two.“

“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“
