“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!“

“From Tampa drove down and picked my mother up in Osprey then heading down to one of her favorite restaurants to enjoy once again following their reopening a week earlier. All dining is presently outside and this was an absolutely perfect day to have visited. It was very crowded at 5 PM but everything from beginning to end moved smoothly and very enjoyable and tasty. Loving the valet service, Mr. David was a gentleman and most helpful. We put our name in for a table suggested a 30 min wait we were seated in about 15 happy to receive that cell call that are time was up! Outside seating is arranged very comfortably, (plenty of shade covering, also fans when needed) and our meal superb! I personally always enjoy the side item of 2 pumpkin bread slices they have over reg side of fries or slaw which is unique. A special thank you to Ms Sydney who had such a sweet smile lively personality, and was both professional and attentive throughout. Also want to add restroom services are inside and very impressed with the lovely updates, if there’s such a thing to say, one of the nicest restaurant bathrooms I have ever been in lol. To all of you continue doing a fantastic job and good luck to as you continue moving the restaurant forward following the hurricane. (Valet services, to the general Public, a bit of advice please, yes many times restaurants say free valet, but please please consider handing something when picking up your keys as this location in particular is truly doing you a service with worry free parking and getting you right into the door).“

“Had another great dinner at Farlows this evening. Our server Charli was very attentive and answered all of our questions on the menu. This was our 4th time here in the past year and I have tried something different each time. This time I had the Kentucky Hot Brown, which was very good. There are so many unique meals on the menu I can't wait to return and try another one.“

It's on the beach what more could you ask for!!!You got to try it out!!! Then take a walk on the beach.“

“The service by server "Mel" was outstanding. She was knowledgeable and professional. Mel was very thoughtful and attentive. Mel made my time there very pleasant.“

“Really enjoyable meal, everyone cleared their plates! Ole Florida charm at its finest. Highly recommend the Mahi Tacos! Sweet potatoes app was delicious too!“

“We go often and mostly the food is amazing but it depends on who makes it. Spider roll was great I tried a piece of someone else's so I ordered one but it was made completely different and not good. Service can be hit or miss. Once with a party of 6 our waitress came 3 times in 2 hours (which is the time limit). I have to say that Janelle is the best server there. Friendly, prompt and will explain options that no one else has ever mentioned. Definitely recommend you try it.“
