50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ellenton

“My wife and I came to the Ellenton area on our honeymoon. Her local family reccomended we check out Woodys River Roo. It was our first stop and the only repeat stop during our week down here. We went to "The Roo" on three separate occasions and loved each one. The food was great, the view of the manatee river was very nice, but the friendly hardworking staff was the cherry on top. They all really seemed to love each other and worked together like a well oiled machine. They made us feel right at home and made sure everything was just right. Bar tender Johnny, who I belive said had been employed there for 15 years, reccomended a lot of other great places to drink and dine in the area. They also have a gift shop and live entertainment from, music to trivia 7 days a week! 10 out of 10 would reccomend. My wife and I hope to be back sooner than later!“

“Lived up to every expectation we had. The place is beautiful, staff wonderful and food amazing. Sitting at the bar was the way to go. It let us see into the kitchen, ask wine and food questions and engage with the staff. The level of service was spectacular. It’s also a wine lovers dream. And the quality of food is second to none. Their charcuterie plates are a must and the burger was one of the best we’ve ever had. Both featured foie gras and created one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Chateau 13 is simply an exceptional dining experience!“

“We were there last evening for dinner. This location is much smaller than the one at UTC. Difficult to carry on a conversation even at a small table. Food was good and service was as well.

“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!“

Two of the top managers talked with us about the staff and the values of the franchise. Food was delivered hot, looked appealing and taste was exceptional. All staff in this restaurant are gold star performers. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Keltsey, Elena, Bri are absolutely amazing, Elena had such a warming and sweet welcome at the host stand, Keltsey was holding down the bar perfectly and was making conversation with all of the guests and ensuring they were having a good time, and Bri was very attentive and was so helpful with the beer wall and the questions we had about the menu. All three girls showed amazing hospitality to us today! They were fabulous!“

“Went to dinner with family at the Carrabba’s on University. Teddy was our server and we was phenomenal. Service was prompt, he was attentive without hovering, and when we had a little mishap by way of a spilled glass of Sangria he took care of us immediately. Alex was our bartender and he’s got mad skills with a dirty martini. If you’re at this restaurant ask for these young men… You will not be disappointed!“
