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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Made a trip from Ft Myers yesterday with 5 friends and we are so glad we did! Such a cute little shop with very friendly staff. Explained to us how the Chimney Cakes are made after we enjoyed a delicious lunch! Couldn’t pass up bringing some home. We will be back 😃“

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

“If you are looking for great coffee, gifts and a nice happy hour, Back Alley is you place! Drop in and say hi to Tammi and the rest of the super friendly staff. One of our favorite places on the Island on Bridge Street!“

“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!“

“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 ☺️“

“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!“

“We ordered Pizza and it was delicious!! The service was great!! Sophia made us feel welcome and was very pleasant. She must have visited our table 6 or 7 times making sure we were doing ok.“

“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...“

“Awesome place! Staff were great, food was delicious and can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Great place for wine and live music lovers!“

“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 ❤️“
