“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!“

“5/5 stars! Oak & Stone exceeded my expectations in every way! The rooftop bar was incredible, with stunning views of the Twin Dolphin Marina! But what really made our visit stand out was the exceptional service from the bartenders. Tessa was hands down the best bartender I've ever had - she was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Taylor was also great, providing excellent service with a smile. The drinks were crafty and delicious, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. We can't wait to come back and enjoy another night out at Oak & Stone's rooftop bar!“

All three girls showed amazing hospitality to us today! They were fabulous!“

“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.“

“Do you want a refreshing, on point, and made with care and love? Then get your rear in gear and get some happiness in a cup, at this amazing shop. They have a Boho/Industrial coffee shop vibe that flows smoothly like the drinks you sip on. This time around I got a chai tea with vanilla. The drink that was given to me was nothing short of amazing.“

“Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Libby’s and this was the first time for my wife. We found the LWR location to be convenient, great atmosphere, with a broad menu! Portions were bordering on excessive! But we powered through some absolutely delicious food! The staff ensured we were well taken care!
