“We were out on a walk and O Bricks was recommended to us for a great dinner spot and it did NOT disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing, quick, fresh and delicious. Our service from Manny and Monique was even better!! Highly recommend, and we will definitely come back next time we are in the area.“

“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.“

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

“Nick is very knowledgeable and provides an excellent product. I highly recommend!!“

“Amazing community and a really great selection of drinks“

“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!“

“While we enjoyed the food and appreciated them accommodating our large group size, I wish their website was more upfront with not really being a kid friendly spot. No high chairs available. No kids menu available. The 9 year old and 12 year old in our group each ended up with $54 entrees. The pace of our meal was also painfully slow from apps to dessert. This would be fine for adults looking for a leisurely dinner but it just wasn’t necessary for our group and I would have appreciated our waitress reading the needs of our group better. 3 filets we ordered medium rare for our group all came well, which was disappointing.
We will be back but without kids.“

“BAM is awesome! He is a great server“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 ☺️“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“The ambiance here is incredible. I love the roof top views dazzle with lights. I can't believe 🤯 it is 8 floors when you take the elevator.

A great place for a date, friends, families or just chilling by yourself.

I got the quinoa salad with grilled pineapple and a yummy citrus vinaigrette and no tuna. Half price off because I ask and spoke up with the no tuna to make it vegan.

Our waiter was incredible. Awesome dude with the black nail polish and spinner ring.“

“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!“

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

“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 are vacationing in Anna Maria Island this week.
We were referred to Chef Melissa by the homeowner of our beach house rental.
Chef Melissa has been a perfect 10 out of 10 for us!
First, she was an absolute pleasure to work with in designing the menus for our family. We asked her to cook for two nights this week: Tuesday and tonight, Thursday. The food was perfectly prepared, she left the kitchen in our home spotless and best of all, she’s a delightful and funny person.
We are all stuffed and there are leftovers for tomorrow. She was so sweet to have separate menu selections for our granddaughter. You get what you pay for and if you want the absolute best, call Chef Melissa! I recommend her without hesitation and we will call her again when we return!“

“This is the go-to place for Bloody Mary's!! So many options tailored to almost everyone's taste. The setting is casual, prices are sensible, and definitely worth repeat visits!! The staff are super friendly and very attentive. It's a lovely neighborhood establishment that's very welcoming!

***Lastly, this lovely establishment does not serve food, but the drinks more than make up for it 🙌“

“My son and I love having tea parties together here.“

“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 !“

“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!“

“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 took my brother to dinner for his birthday last week based on his suggestion. I’ve never been prior to our visit for his birthday. Oh my gosh, the menu is absolutely amazing. The food is next level. I loved the stuffed jumbo mushrooms so much so that I ordered a second helping. Oh my gosh, just everything was so good I cannot say enough about this place. The drinks are very, very good as well as they have a full bar, but the food OMG, exceptional!“

“We absolutely LOVE this little ice cream shop on Pine Avenue out on Anna Maria Island!

Not only is the ice cream amazing, but the employees are hands-down some of the sweetest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet. They always greet you with a smile, are so patient (even with big family orders), and genuinely make every visit feel special.

And let’s talk about my all-time favorite flavor — Exhausted Parent. It is SO good and honestly the perfect name because it feels like a well-deserved treat after a long day. It’s rich, delicious, and totally worth every bite.

If you’re visiting AMI, this place is a must-stop. Great ice cream, wonderful staff, and the perfect Pine Ave vibe. Our favorite ❤️“

“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.“

“Lo' key truly love the name and your service. I was here with my Family from NJ. We went to a local beach an discovered your place and its menuplus the name had to stopby. Felt fully welcomed and comfortable with the service. Plus your food its menu and its prep was amazing. I will be back when ever we are in town again. Or better yet become neighbors. Thank you again from the Santos Fam. PS my kid loved the Crab legs“

“All around great place to study/hang out. Really great coffee quality, nice baristas, plenty of seating, cool decor. Free parking garage nearby too. Relaxed and quiet music in the background. This a reliably good place to go to any day of the week!“

“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.“

“Great, casual, friendly spot.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Absolutely loved this restaurant! The pizza was fresh, flavorful and perfectly cooked with the best crispy crust! But the real surprise was the Caesar salad, probably one of the best I’ve had at a restaurant. Fresh romaine, delicious dressing, and perfectly seasoned. Great food, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. Highly recommend!“
