“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!“

“My friend and I went on Saturday night. We both had a drink and ordered appetizer while looking at the menu. Our waiter was right there with our hot appetizer within minutes. We both ordered shrimp and scallops coleslaw hush puppies along with our fried calamari appetizer. Our food was one of the best we've had in and around Bradenton/Sarasota. The atmosphere was perfect and service was the best. I cant wait to go back.“

“Jordan was our server last night and he was excellent. We were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary. This is our second time eating here and it is our favorite seafood restaurant. From the cocktails that we drank to the lobster bisque and then we had grouper bites and lobster bites for appetizers. For dinner, my husband and I both had the seafood linguine with different sauces and it was good . The only thing I will mention is that the last time we ate there, my husband had the seafood linguine, and it was a lot different than what we had last night. The first time my husband had the seafood linguine, It was much more bigger shrimp and you could tell the seafood was a little bit more presentable. Whereas last night you could tell it was not as fresh, but I still give it five stars because everything was fantastic. I did not eat this last night but the last time I ate there, I had their grouper with the citrus sauce on it and that is the BEST I’ve ever had it. I highly recommend.!! We will be back again.“

“Highly recommend! The drinks and Açaí bowl are amazing. Fresh fruits and very good!“

“Very special place with delicious, authenthic food. Lovely wait staff.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I loved my breakfast at this place, the panini was amazing and real lemon juice…omg!“

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

“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!“

“the food is always amazing. i’ve learned over the years that good customer service isn’t perfection because that isn’t possible. good customer service is how you handle mishaps. the service we experienced tonight was top notch from josiah ! there was a minor kitchen mishap that was honestly a minor inconvenience at best however the way he handled it made us feel so very valued! the ambiance is the best in town with its whimsy not just in decor but with the menu! ask for josiah you won’t be disappointed“

“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!“

“What a wonderful restaurant! I’ve been coming here for years and have never once been disappointed. Every visit feels like walking into a friend’s home—warm, welcoming, and full of AMAZING FOOD. Everything is always fresh and absolutely DELICIOUS! 👏👏 The authentic Italian dishes are incredible, and I’m so thankful that they always accommodate my dietary restrictions. It truly makes me feel genuinely cared for—they already know my needs and always have a plan in place. It means SO MUCH to feel that kind of attention and thoughtfulness. Thank you for making every experience so special. I truly LOVE this place! 💜💜“

“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 ☺️“

“get the stuffed snowball, you won't believe it's shaved ice...“

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

“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!“

“Chef Melissa was absolutely wonderful and made our Siesta Key weekend feel extra special. We hired her for a private family birthday dinner, and from start to finish everything was seamless.

The food was beautifully prepared, fresh, and delicious, and the presentation made the evening feel like a true restaurant experience in our own vacation home. She was professional, warm, organized, and handled everything so we could simply relax and enjoy the night with our family.

It was such a treat to have appetizers followed by a lovely dinner without having to leave the house, especially while traveling with our grandson. Chef Melissa helped make an already special family weekend even more memorable.

We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef in the Siesta Key/Sarasota area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Was recommended this place by friends who recently visited, who said how nice the view was and a fun place to go and watch sunset. We weren’t disappointed. Beautiful view, and smart modern restaurant. We were seated after a few minutes while they cleaned the table, and then completely ignored for over at least 10-12 minutes before our server came over, after I asked the hostess who walked past again if we could have our server come and take drinks orders. She eventually came and took drinks orders and practically ignored us after. Needing to stop her to ask if I could have my empty soda refilled, again to ask if we could order food, then again later for another drink. It wasn’t even that busy. She was polite enough but clearly not experienced. It put a dampener on the whole evening, which was a special one for my partner and I. I will return for a second visit, as our friends enjoy it and we enjoyed the view. But I’m hoping the service is improved. Pizza was very nice.“

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

“We love Jeremiah’s! The best place in town for ice cream and water ice, and their Jelati’s are awesome. Friendly service, tons of flavors, and we’ve never had to wait long even when there’s a line. I had an issue redeeming a reward on the app, and the owner Jake and his staff went above and beyond to resolve it. Highly recommend!“

“My son and I love having tea parties together 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“

“The acai banana splits are excellent! I had the match maker with a matcha base! It was unique and very flavorful! My granddaughter had the Mailbu Barbie smoothie and a Nutella waffle. She absolutely loved her choices! The staff was pleasant and answered questions. We would recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We have been coming to the island for 5 years and have missed this little Gem, until tonight! Outstanding service, waitress was awesome , Manager’s tonight on point and the crab boils off the chart good! We will be back ! And often! Oklahoma ladies !“

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

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

“Omg.. don’t sleep on this place. Happy hour is great…. Great prices on drinks and food oysters were on point…the buffalo shrimp were some of the best the smoked fish dip was outstanding and the happy hour house magirita was as good as I have had… Patrick was the bar tender and did a fantastic job…
If we lived in the area it would be our hangout spot. Great job“

“First time in town and lucky to have stopped here. Farmhouse and Big Daddy Burgers were delicious in every detail. Fried onions and fries were so crispy and fresh.
Holley was our server and we had a great experience.
Really recommend it!“

“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%.“

“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.“

“Our bartender LJ was outstanding. He paid close attention to our orders and gave us suggestions on what to order and expect.

Atmosphere is outstanding and we will definitely return here on our next trip down to Sarasota Florida.“

“Great, casual, friendly spot.“

“Such a cute ice cream spot in Anna Maria! The ice cream was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and it was the perfect little stop after spending time at the beach. So many good flavors to choose from and everything tasted fresh. Definitely a must-stop if you’re in the area!“

“The owners were so nice! They greeted us very well and showed us all the options they have on the Menu. The coffee was so good and atmosphere very relaxing and family friendly.

I had the salted caramel iced coffee and my wife had the Strawberry smoothy and it was SO GOOD! 10/10“
