Soup near North Port

“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've been going here for over a decade. Yesterday, I called the number from Google and placed an order. 5 mins later I was called back by a 713 area code saying the restaurant was requesting a credit card before they would start making the food. I declined and said I'll order at the restaurant. She sounded disappointed. I get to the restaurant and ask if that was true and they said no. He confirmed I called the right number. And said it hasn't happened to anyone else. My friend in cyber security said it's possible the call got intercepted from someone at the restaurant. So just beware. I called back again to see if the same "3rd" party would answer. I noticed I high pitch tone in the beginning of the call. I hung up, and the 713 area code called again asking if I'd like to place an order.“

“Service is great, love the employees here. BUT WHY THE PLACE SO HOT??? Turn down the a/c please. We shouldn't be sweating while eating our soup.“

“Had an uber to go order, they sent my food within the time frame and sooner than i thought i would receive. I had the 6in sirloin with the fettuccini, and the bread sticks with dipping sauce. The steak was cooked med rare as i had ordered, the fettuccini was good but i think i like my fet extra saucy, and it was moderately saucy. The bread sticks were way too delicious, and the dipping sauce, marinara with cheese was very good, but they didn't give me enough sauce to dip all bread sticks, so more dipping sauce please :) Overall, everything was efficient and Tasty, exceeded my expectations. It was total 37.40 for the meal, salad, bread sticks with dipping sauce, a little pricey but you satisfied every one of my palette needs. To whoever you have in your kitchen staff you really need to give them super kudos, because they care about the quality of their food. I purchased this meal 8/8/2025.“

“their soups are always really good made from scratch they're Philly cheese steaks are the best in town“

“Haven't Been in some time, it was lunch time, and we wanted some fresh loaves of bread and bagels togo, but there was hardly anything to choose from, is this how it is nowato go,

Most of the empty tables were all dirty, Food was Okay, the Mexican corn chowder was very very thick! The baguette seemed old not fresh.

Was hoping the bagel sandwiches were still available but they were discontinued 😩
Place needs a fresh update and smiling faces when you walk in, miss the days of cashiers and not ordering on a machine :(“
