There's one we usually see and I wish I knew their name, but they always seem very genuine and present in the conversation and I appreciate that. Also, they all make great gelati creations. I hope they all get more money bc they deserve it.“

“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!“

“Lea and Dan run a fantastic place! They heard it was our anniversary date and got us the best seat with a 180° view of the water. Treated my wife and I to a fantastic slice of cheesecake.

Thanks Dan for the business card, ill email you!“

“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 atmosphere, if you haven’t come yet, you must!“

“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!“

The customer service was outstanding prompt, friendly, and genuinely attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Despite the small size, the space feels cozy and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing meal or catching up with friends.
The food arrived fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious, with clear care put into every dish. The staff managed a busy dining room effortlessly, ensuring everyone felt looked after and that service never lagged. It’s rare to find such a combination of great food and exemplary service in such an intimate little spot. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to return!“

“Amazingly fresh and delicious food, an adorable, cozy atmosphere, and wonderful, personable owners, including Oliver. 🐾 Can’t wait to return!“

“First time visiting. Very cute downtown location. Parking can be a little tight. We ordered the Cheese Flatbread and the special of the day the Beef Tenderloin Board. The flatbread was good and the tenderloin board was amazing. We had sweet tea to drink which turned out to be a sweetened light green tea. Very tasty and refreshing. We enjoyed that surprise.“

“We found this little coffee shop on our way to Myakka State Park. I don’t drink coffee, but my daughter does. The reviews were great so we stopped by. It’s super cute inside and they also have seating outside. There is also a water bowl outside, filled with water, for your furry friends if you brought them with you. We don’t remember what my daughter ordered, but she asked what they recommended for a first time visitor. She said it was really good. If you like coffee, give it a try and don’t forget to get your sticker if you collect them from different coffee shops like my kids do lol. Parking seemed a little challenging, as we found ourselves on the backside of the building in what seemed to be a hotel garage parking lot. But that might just be us, as we were unfamiliar with the area.“

“We booked sun coast cuisine for an intimate dinner for our girls trip. We did a seafood tapas menu and Melissa was pleasure to work with. She helped customized a menu over the phone prior to the trip and created an amazing menu. This was the best meal I had in Anna Maria and in my whole life. She is an amazing chef and genuine hostess! Save yourself the hassle of going out to eat and book her. The Spanish octopus was incredible. We also enjoyed the ceviche, tuna and grouper bites. Every bite was delicious! I can't wait to come back and have another dinner experience with her. She also left the kitchen spotless when she was done. She is a culinary fairy!“

“Happy to find this wonderful place, we have been often and every meal was delicious, good service & the specials are delicious“

“Good beer and food, nice playground outside for the kids but please please get some fans for near the tables. It’s brutal on days with no wind. We would’ve stayed longer if there were some fans circulating air“

“Been going there for years ! Never had a bad meal and the music talent is great ! Whoever is on the grill cooking those steaks gets it right every time! Keep up the good work ! You guys rock!“

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

“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!“

“Best barbecue I have had since moving to Florida“

“Very good! Broad selection, the tuna (raw) was very good quality and fresh. The house-made kimchi was excellent!“

“Really delicious food, huge portions! We’ve tried several different things and enjoyed them all!“

“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!“

“We alas finally got the chance to visit this "brilliant" place on 7.24.2024!!! We sat outsyde since indeed we brought our companion- Hamish, our Border Collie. We were immediately accomodated by the hostess with a fan pointed out way (oppresively hot!) and water for Hamish and a view of what was to come! Only the beginnings of great service and outstanding food: Camille P. our hostess came out immediately with smiles, suggestions and patience. We ordered our drinks (starting with 2-Conch Republic Key Lime Wheat beers) and our brilliant appetizer all brought with no rush nor bad tyming! We then ordered our appetizer which was both unique and most tasty- The Caprese Guac! Two more drinks of choice- the Honey Thyme Smoke Olde Fasioned & a Citrus Cannon- again spot on and magical! For our main my wife and I split the Bee Sting Pizza and the Crispy Chicken Cobb Salad both enough for a split of 4 people with a taste and presentation like none other! Our relaxing and "take a breath" meal/day was finished off with a Pinapple Upside Down Cake (had to try it) to go! Needless to go on and on but we couldn't have been more impressed. We have lived in this area for 2+ years and treat ourselves weekly but never has the treat been so outstanding what with Camille P's humor, efficiency and shared knowledge but unique and abundant food we will be equally back for tyme and again... cheers to ownership (always reflected in the professionalism and great atmosphere of staff, thus planning and providing a place second to none!

“First place we stopped on our trip was a gem! Amazing food, wonderful service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I didn't have food so I can't rate, the inside bartender saw me in line, 2 men stepped in when a group of girls walked away, she took there order and then told them I will get that as soon as I serve him, that's what makes a great bartender and great service, the guy added my drink to their order however great job to that bartender.

Parking: Around building and in back.“

“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.

“So I popped into scullers, utc sarasota this early evening, which I been a customer for a while with no issues only with this bartender Casey said, to me this evening, I am not serving you, and I said are you joking and whats the reason and she said no I dont need a reason and told me to leave., so here a little back story with Casey, which she done with other customers, she accused me of walking out on a one beer tab...which was my first time meeting here.. she accused me of theft, in front of a bar full of customers, which she new was false, because I heard Casey as done this to other customers. Sent email to linksters managnment with no reply back. Second incident about a few months ago she approached me and said you can not smoke your cigar during trivia night that they have every Wednesday, Casey said customers complained about the smoke. So I sat outside far side and customers who knew me from that night asking me why your all the way over there smoking and I said Casey banned me from smoking..I wrote an email to linkstersManagnment and no reply back. Casey as some issues.. never had issues with no other bartender besides Casey which she created and she makes drama were there not need to be.... Not serving me this evening with out no reason is crazy, is Casey bar its Scullers bar.. im just confused on how she can treat customers like this and she allowed to behave in this manner, Casey is so unprofessional on how she treated me and other customers.“
