“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!“

“On 08-03-2025 I ate at the Sonny's restaurant at 631 67th St Cir E in Bradenton, FL. This is a family-style BBQ restaurant with a very comfortable and welcoming ambiance. I arrived for dinner and was promptly seated. I had their Big Deal Turkey on a bun with fries, a side order of baked beans, and an unsweet tea. My food arrived in a timely manner and was cooked properly. It came exactly as I ordered it and was very tasty. A variety of sauces were available, and I selected the Sweet sauce. My server during my visit was Danielle. She was very efficient, kept my tea glass filled, and responded to any and all requests I had. I have had Danielle for a server several times before, and I consistently receive superior service from her. She is always friendly and courteous and takes a genuine interest in her customers, making sure that they have a positive dining experience. She is a credit and an asset to the business. I recommend this restaurant and will be returning there again to eat.“

“great food like grandma and grandpa made it, great prices and friendly staff.“

“This place is the ONLY spot within manatee county serving fine dining experiences. I am in love with the level of service provided. Jen is always present without being overbearing. Mike is incredibly attentive to your needs. Suggestions, and experiences. Doug…. The comedic relief is hilarious and most welcomed aside. Thank you chateau for another wonderful evening.“

“I ordered the pad see eew with chicken and it was amazing! We also had a Florida roll and it was so fresh and delicious. For desert we had mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream which I highly recommend. Nudee was our server and she was so attentive and friendly! Will definitely be coming back very soon :)“

“Hubby had the cod, ff and coleslaw. The cod was perfectly breaded very lightly, the french fries yummy and we never got to the coleslaw (taking home leftovers). I had the shrimp scampi fettuccine, in butter sauce – Yum! The bread with the oil dip was wonderful. I highly recommend this place and wish they were much closer to where I live (SRQ airport-could replace Primos! I’m just suggesting).“

“The food and service did not disappoint. My wife had the mahi tuna salad. It was excellent and crunchy as described on the menu I had scallops. They were perfectly cooked and very tender. Service was very good. Everything arrived timely hot, and the waiter did not hover have eaten at hundreds of restaurants and this is one of the better onesnot exceptionally expensive and in a mall but quite good food and service and I highly recommend.“

“Been coming here as long as I’ve been living in Bradenton, this place is soo legit
You’d be surprised with how large the menu is and how much they have to offer.
Even on weekends and with larger crowds service is fast, the food is fresh and they have a great selection of drinks and beverages.
The vermicelli is favorite, always great.“

“We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband’s birthday at The Capital Grille.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and our server, Weylon, provided excellent service—attentive and genuinely kind, which made the evening even more special.
Our dinner was absolutely exquisite. My husband had the seared scallops with lobster risotto, and I enjoyed the sliced filet mignon on a bed of wild mushrooms—both were outstanding.
A perfect place for a memorable celebration. We’ll definitely be back!“

This place is immaculate (thank Anthony who scrubs booths and tables like an operating room) and happy. Great food and generous portions which equals a good value. The pancakes are a meal by themselves! We eat out every day and this is a wonderful place for breakfast/lunch. Check it out!“

“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!“

“James provided excellent service at Oak & Stone. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere, delicious food, and a fantastic drink selection. You can tell the staff really care about the guest experience. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Oak & Stone, and if you get James as your server, you’re in great hands!“

“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!“

“The buffet on Saturdays is excellent!“

“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. Very busy and noisy for a Wednesday evening. We prefer a more intimate experience, as well as excellent food.“

“I have tried a few sours over the last couple of years and every single darn one has been just as mind-blowing as the one before. I wish I was a local for this brewery!“

“I absolutely love PJs Sandwich Shop. You can taste the care they put into everything — quality meats, fresh toppings, and perfectly soft sub rolls. Their subs are huge, and they definitely don’t skimp on the meat or toppings. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why supporting local matters: a family-owned business where the owners and staff are always genuinely friendly and welcoming. Do yourself a favor and stop in to try the Deluxe Sub or the Chicken and Dumplings, and make sure you pair it with their delicious sweet tea. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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!“

Portions were bordering on excessive! But we powered through some absolutely delicious food! The staff ensured we were well taken care! Carlos especially was outstanding and made sure we had a memorable and tasty anniversary dinner! She ordered the orange chicken I had the brisket burger with truffle fries You can be sure We’ll be back! Soon!! Thank you Libby’s and staff for a great evening!“

“Kate was exceptional as we had 9 women who arrived thinking we had reservations! I had made reservations in key largo!!! Kate immediately attended to us and quickly cleared and sat a table for 9, even though they were really busy. Brian was our server and handled our service and he was excellent as well. Yummy food with a friendly atmosphere topped our evening! Thanks again Lazy Lobster in LONGBOAT key!!!!“
