50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bradenton

“Excellent!!!! Unexpected. Very happy to find this restaurant. Delicious food, served beautifully, seasoned to perfection, and our server, Linda, added to the great experience. Go!“

“Love Bailey B! She was amazing and awesome. Treated our group so well!“

“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!“

“Amazing community and a really great selection of drinks“

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

“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 👌🏻“

“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!“

“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! 🫶🏼🙌🏻“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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!“

Was our first visit but won’t be our last!!!“

“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!“

“First time tonight and I LOVE this place! The owners and staff were friendly and gracious. I didn't eat, but the menu looked great. I'm excited to go to more events here!“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Takos is easily the best Mexican food I have had in the Lakewood Ranch/Bradenton area. Staff are friendly and quick. Lucy is the best!“

“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!“

“Great food, very tasty and laden down with sugar (General To’s chicken). We have been here a few times and every selection has been great. The Egg Rolls are one of the best we have ever experienced (wow). Friendly and great service too… we plan on frequenting this place regularly because of the reasonable prices 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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!“

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

“Would love some music or entertainment , nothing grand, just pleasant upbeat jazz(no elevator music). thanks for asking. You're happy hours are a treat for seniors...don't count us out!“

“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.“

“Thank you so much for allowing our local IAEP 747 use your facility for our EMS Night Out. It was a great facility for such a large group and the staff and service were amazing, as well as the food and drinks! We look forward to having another event at your facility.“

“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!
