The 50 best cheap eats in Bradenton

Such beautiful 🤩 views from the patio of the Bay Area. We also got lucky and arrived during happy hour. They make a great old fashioned 🥃, very stiff the way I like my old fashioned. I ended up ordering two especially with the happy hour special of $8/🥃. The balsamic chips make for a delicious 😋 appetizer and I recommend you order two for the table. The cod fish & chips make for a delicious main course. Our server Talan was a very gracious server and took care of us. I’ll be back for sure.

Our next family food adventure take us to The patio pier 22 located in Bradenton FL with a category of 4.4 and more than 5,471 reviews, this place is perfect for turning a family gathering or a get-together with friends into something special, with a unique view of the sunset and the bay, accompanied by the sound of the sea. Our visit was on November 1st with perfect, cool weather. Our waitress was very attentive and professional. The entire menu and the options she recommended were all delicious, but you had to eat quickly because of the weather. Was a great time high recommended place to share unforgettable experiences.

I had a great experience dining at Pier 22 tonight. My server Brittany was fantastic. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly and helpful! I had the Elk special which was cooked just right. The only issue with my meal was the creamed spinach coming out cold and lacking salt, but overall a great dinner! I will be back.

1st time here. We r from Michigan and were there for our son's and daughter-in-law's engagement party a couple weeks ago. The food was delicious. The drinks were top notch. Service was great! Great atmosphere and a view of boats and the Manatee River. Highly recommend it.

Had a nice Saturday afternoon having lunch at pier 22 outside with a great view , my waitress and manager were very friendly and accommodating my husband allergies issues. they were very polite and made sure he had the right food for him. Good drinks too

Came here for the beautiful sunset views — and they did not disappoint! The setting was stunning, even though it got a bit windy once the sun went down. The service was great -- complimentary valet was a nice touch, too. The food was okay - great portions. My entree (Artichoke Crab pasta) wasn't my favorite but the seasonal sangria was delicious!

This is one of the best restaurants in the area! Whether you sit inside or outside, the vibe is always amazing. But the patio is one of my favorite places to catch a sunset. The food is some of the freshest I've ever had. Service is usually top notch. I've been here dozens of times in groups of 2-7. Never a disappointment!

O'bricks is one of the best restaurants in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. I was able to get familiar with it last year when I was in town for multiple months at a nearby hotel. We would go to O'bricks at least twice a week. Food: The food at O'bricks including the menu as a whole is very purposeful. A lot of flavor combinations that seem pretty apparent a professional chef and/or longtime restauranteur is behind this concept. Usually, when I think of Irish Pub I think of a small bar that serves Shepards Pie and Guinness. This is not that at all. Throughout the times I have eaten at O'bricks I have tried their soups, Caesar salad, burger, Cuban sandwich (it is not pressed), Mike Carter's Wings that are marinated in pickle brine and served as an entire wing (which is very different but overall excellent), as well as their chicken sandwich with stuffed banana pepper, gelato, peach cobbler, etc. The food here is awesome and I have never once had a bad meal or been there on an off night. They don't have those here. Regarding Service and Atmosphere: O'bricks has an excellent wait staff that is very attentive and highly impressive. They memorize who ordered what. They give you different silverware for different dishes. They walk by and clean your table as needed. Basically, all of the things that make for an exceptional wait staff, it is quite obvious they train for that here. Overall, if you're looking for great tasting unique food, excellent service and very reasonable prices, O'bricks is an obvious winner. I've found eating there to be comfortable and enjoyable and whenever I am in town, I schedule a visit.

The most overrated restaurant in Bradenton. Food is average at best. Menu is limited, preparation is basic, piquancy is lacking. The drinks are not bad, but the prices leave a refined individual wanting. Location is great but no matter how much they dress it up it’s still downtown bradenton, and at least the hip hop crowd that previously frequented the area had some pizazz…

Great date night location! My salad was freaking AMAZING!!! I'd also take the kids there if they were with us. We will for sure go back! Quick walk across the street to watch some football, or for more drinks. Highly recommend!!!

My daughter loves this place so we came to dinner here and the experience was nice! Very friendly service and attentive. Almost all (or several) of the servers attend to you in some form. The food was good, my daughter loves the Lobster MacNcheese (although she sub'd for chicken this time LOL), the chicken sandwich was AWESOME, so crisp and juicy! Fresh bread, cold beer and....wait for it.....CREME BRULEE!! We sat outside so nice ambience on Main Street. Can't speak to the pub part since we didn't go inside.

Upon arriving, it was pretty clear. This is not a typical Irish pub. The atmosphere and decor do not inspire Irish pub at all. Upon looking at the menu, there are only 2 meals of Irish origin. Fish and chips and Shepherd's pie. You could get Jameson and Guinness. Everything else on the menu has nothing to do with Ireland. Food was fine, but nothing we ordered was amazing. Two out of our group of six did not like their meals. Overall, we were disappointed as a group. We finished our meal with creme brulee. We all agreed that it was excellent!

The key lime martini is heavenly. What a perfect dessert, I mean cocktail. The crab stuffed mushroom on a bed of lobster bisque... just stop it. This was unbelievable. Plenty of crab with every bite. Unbelievable meal and drink. I will definitely be going back.

Great food.. my lovely wife and had to go to Tampa and in the way home we stopped for a bit there... it was far enough from Tampa to be acceptable... I had the Lobster "not BLT"... and she had the roasted turkey .. both were delicious and served freshly made and hot to our table..The service is efficient, friendly and prompt. A great place for a relaxing meal.

I recently moved to Bradenton, and I'm trying all the local restaurants. I came across this German restaurant and decided to check it out. The place has a casual neighborhood vibe and our server was super friendly. I decided to try the special, which was beef strips with potatoes and mushrooms. The beef was super tender and delicious, but my only complaint is that there wasn't enough beef and heavy on the potatoes. My partner ordered chicken with German noodles and she was very happy with her meal. We shared a dessert, the black forest tower, which was tasty. They also have a good variety of German beer. Give them a try, especially if you like German food.

I had a great experience visiting the Lucky Frog for the first time. The food was very authentic German/Bavarian. I went for lunch with my family. I had the Jägerschuss (Hunter's Shot), while my family had the potato pancakes, and the bread pork schnitzel with German potato salad. Plus a freshly baked pretzel. In my opinion it was a little on the pricey side, especially for lunch, but it was well worth it for the authenticity of the food. I will definitely be back.

Sorry to say, We were unimpressed with the food... bland and not large enough portions.. we have been looking for a new German restaurant since Heinrichs closed... this is not it.... too expensive for what you receive with many upcharges as well ..

I stopped in for takeout lunch, bratwurst and potato pancakes which was very good, so I decided to make a dinner reservation a few days later. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals which included pork schnitzel, spaetzle and a beautifully prepared braised lamb shank (order a day ahead). We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed the food and company (owner/ chef) the German Bier on draft was cold and tasty. The brat and schnitzel were good as well! German owner, authentic taste✌🏽

This is a very authentic German restaurant with a very committed chef and staff. I enjoyed two courses and a few glasses of house pinot. I sat at the bar and immediately got greeted and delivered a complimentary bowl of fresh, flash fried potato skins lightly salted. For my first course I had a very well presented tomatoe bruschetta with freshly toasted bread chips...perfect. Main course, horseradish schnitzel with a German potatoe salad and thinly sliced cucumbers. I took four desserts to go, all made from scratch. I delivered the desserts to my employees. Karen was my server she was very informative and had great knowledge of the menu and specials. I believe the owner even stopped over to say hello. This place is very hidden. The decor is very eclectic. If you want to try something new and not get disappointed give this restaurant a try. I had a great experience.

Amazing German restaurant in the Bradenton area. Freshly made schnitzel was a treat, very hot (temp) and authentic. Son-in-law had the cheese spaetzle and it looked and smelled amazing. He said it was delicious. Owner came out and talked with us and the server was excellent!

First time at this restaurant. We have never eaten at a German restaurant before. It is very quaint with about a dozen tables indoors and more available outside. Recommend getting a reservation. We ordered the potato pancakes for the appetizer, and they were good. We both ordered the schnitzel and were shocked at how big the servings were. We could not finish ours and brought the rest home for later. I would like to go back for the pretzel and beer to go along with the live entertainment.

German food is comfort food for me, & the Edelweiss did just that! We sat on the patio—the temperature was perfect & the ambience was delightfully relaxed. We enjoyed the live accordionist inside every time the door opened & we could still carry on a conversation. People were clearly having lots of fun inside, although we preferred the quieter patio. The food was amazing! My husband had the Schnitzel, which was tender & moist (not dry like has happened at other restaurants). It came with sauerkraut & spaetzle. I had the pork roast with dumplings & spaetzle & got the sauerkraut added by accident. 😊 The pork roast was tender; the spaetzle was the best I have eaten outside of Germany! The dumplings, oh my! Years ago we spent two weeks with a family in Germany & the mom made dumplings for us. These had that same subtle hint of nutmeg that took me right back to the Black Forest. Absolutely superb! We both had Apple Strudel for dessert & it was perfectly tender & moist. Often strudel dough gets tough if handled too much, but this was so tender & flaky. The restaurant was hopping, and Abi was, too, but the service was attentive & she was very sweet. When she was with us, she was *with* us, not acting like one foot was heading for the next table. We’re coming back to Bradenton in January & we can’t wait to come back to Edelweiss!

Update! Still amazing food. Tried the schnitzel. It was amazing too! Lunch prices are really good! Best German food I have ever had in Florida. Very authentic right down to the vanilla ice cream with warm berries! The bratwurst was delicious. The red cabbage the best I have had outside of Germany. And the German potato salad was warm, with just the right Touch of vinegar. A friend had the lamb chops and she said they were delicious. Get the sampler platter if you can't decide what to have!

Yummy German classic sandwich’s for lunch. The Wiener schnitzel sandwich was excellent, which German potato salad. The bratwurst was very flavorful..

Great, relaxed atmosphere, live music, delicious food. Sadly, I didn’t remember to take a photo until I was getting my take home box together! This is just half of the schnitzel & spaetzl! (I had my usual Hunter Schnitzl (jaeger schnitzel is what I’ve always called it) but ordered the gravy on the side.)

Kristina is excellent even on her first day! Lol! She’s fun, helpful and friendly. Wonderful service. Also Klement was the music entertainment for the evening! He was great- interacts with the customers and provides beautiful traditional German music. Love the atmosphere.

Kristina was amazing- had to say that first!! The food was so so good. We had the pork shank- phenomenal! But we sampled a lot of our friend’s food too. We were there for the live music during Oktoberfest and we all had a blast!!

After a wonderful time at the bishop museum I was looking for a place for my children and mother and I to get something to eat. Locally there was a little Italian joint that looked good! So we went and we were NOT disappointed! We had gotten pep and cheese pizza and it was absolutely delicious. Thin crunchy crust, wonderful cheese pull, not super greasy and very flavorful! We also tried the chopped Italian which came on a pizza crust! Was absolutely fantastic! Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food

oh my god, when i tell you my boyfriend and i left full we left STUFFED! we walked in before dinner time and had both wanted entrees from the dinner menu, and the gentleman who helped us allowed us to order it a little earlier and brought us out our bread and salad first. the bread was fresh and the oil dip it came with was SO good. salads were also fresh and dressings were really good. by the time the food came we were full, but we both still ate and ate good!! boyfriend had the gnocchi and i had the 3-cheese manicotti, which were amazing of course. our service was great and very friendly, we will definitely be back when we want a nice meal. prices were great for how much food you get too. literally nothing i could complain about, thank you for being so accommodating and for the awesome food😋

I stopped in while I was in Bradenton. A nice highly rated local restaurant in the middle of a nice row of businesses and arcade. Established over 20 years ago this place is still going strong. I tried their garlic cheese bread and a deep dish personal pizza. Everything tasted good. I was left wishing for more flavor with the bread... More garlic and a day of salt or an added cheese would pop it off. I also think their oven is on the high side, probably for speed reasons... But the bread was tough on the bottom. Again- it was good! I would order it again The deep dish is delightful. Nice, flavorful... Great treat! I wish I could have eaten more. They have a nice spread of sandwiches on the menu. Stromboli too... I will leave it for you to explore, you should stop by and support this local Establishment!!

My family and I came in today for the first time. We ordered Gnocchi, pizza, and steak sandwich. Everything came out flavorful and delicious. We didn't wait too long for the food. The place is small but there's outside seating as well. We are from Orlando but we would definitely come back.

Downtown bradenton partaking in the Irish festivities and landed here for some pizzas. We ordered 2.. the Irish pizza with potato, cabbage, corn beef toppings, and a sausage on all with banana peppers on half. The crust were thin (I personally like them a little thicker and less crunchy), but the flavors were fantastic. I was shocked to enjoy the Irish pizza as much as much as I did. We had a long wait time....it was st Patrick's day, and they were busy. We were given the last table in the inside hall, which was ok....we definitely would have preferred a table outside watching those celebrating, but..... they were all taken. We enjoyed our pizzas and recommend giving them a try.

If you're looking for an amazing atmosphere and a fantastic staff, go here. The olive oil and bread are beyond delicious. The meatballs were awesome. Chicken parm was also great. Personally, the sauce was a bit too sweet for me but my husband suggested it just had a big of "tang" to it and he like it and he does not like sweet sauce either. With that being said that would NOT keep me from going back like most places. I'd really like to try the stromboli next time.

WOW!!! Amazing 👏 food 😋. We got to sit outside along the street and eat. Awesome lunch specials and good prices 👌. The bread 🍞 was Delicious 😋 and we asked if the pizza dough was similar and the waitress said "yes, it is made fresh every morning " We each had the Italian sub and it was Incredible!!! We will definitely go back to try other items on the menu. We only ate half because it was so much.

Overall the food was good. The service was fast and accurate and she seemed very genuine. Parking is a bit of an issue. You can park across the street in a city lot and pay a fee. Street parking is available as well as a parking garage. You may have to walk a little. The staff should be dressed more appropriate for a downtown setting. Several staff members looked like they rolled out of bed. The seating is very tight. If you need to use a bathroom it is in the lobby adjacent to the entrance of Sage, you will also need a four digit code to get into the restroom. I enjoyed a vegetable omelet with fruit and a side of sausage. The server kept my coffee and water full. The food came out quick and it was easy to pay when we were ready to leave. The patio was full of guests and the hosts did a good job greeting and seating us.

The biscuits are legit. Everything we ordered was very good. The jalapeño bacon was a bit spicier compared to other places I’ve had it, but very good. We sat outside in a nice covered outdoor area. Didn’t get to see inside at all.

By far my favorite breakfast joint in town! The food is great and the waitstaff are even better! I’ve become a regular here and would recommend to anyone.

Excellent food. Excellent atmosphere except for the wait staff who seem to be dressed for a run with athletic shirts. I was there for breakfast and got the tofu scramble. The main food was good but I got 4 slices of toast too with out any butter or kind of direction of what to do with them, my food wasn't runny or anything, so just kinda a weird addition. My friend's french toast looked amazing, lots of fruit and whipped cream. Parking is interesting, it's paid in the lot across the street, or free in the adjacent deck when you bring your receipt from the restaurant. And also lots of stairs to walk up and down if you're not able to get through the security door behind someone on level 3 to catch the lift down. No soy milk, but they have almond or oat milk. Bathroom is a pain to get to. You have to leave the restaurant, go into the office building, find the bathroom is locked and realize you need a code to get into it. Then you have to go back to the restaurant, ask the server what the code is, and she'll tell you 1410, so then you leave the restaurant again, go back to the bathroom armed with the code, reach to type it in when the door magically opens... just to realize there's a lady coming out of it and if you had just waited 20 seconds, you wouldn't have needed the code, but then again, you think to yourself that there's no way to have known the lady would have come out.... Then you think back to this post and chuckle to yourself thinking of the irony and inception of it all. 😉

Everything was Great! We had the Gravy Train and the Homemade corned beef hash. Very large portions and very delicious!

Great breakfast with a LARGE portion.... Could use a little more shade for outdoor eating and it's a little cramped. Our server was spot on and friendly, however, one of the hosts' needs to 86 the attitude! Also, stay clear of the 1401 Bradenton Financial Building restrooms if possible.....You may gag!! Would be 5 stars but the attitude and the restrooms take it to 4...... TL Palm Bay, FL

Extensive and interesting brunch menu with great staff! The patio is great for doggos to dine with you.

Absolutely 5 stars across the board. It has been a while since I have had Florida seafood and this place does it superbly and with outstanding customer service. Our server, Scott, kept our children entertained and I paid under $100 for a family of 5. They also have a deal for children where you pay a penny for each inch of their height... I am not sure how they stay in business, but I will definitely be back!

Food was great, although my entree was not my favorite. Shrimp and grits had way too much garlic and the bacon overpowered the dish. My calamari was cooked to perfection and the marinara was very tasty as well. The salmon with teriyaki glaze was delicious as was the conch fritters. Our server, Dee Dee, was awesome as well. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Checked on us frequently. We were a party of six. If ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping at Oyster Bar, you will not be disappointed!!

We always enjoy Anna Maria oyster bar. The food is always fresh and delicious. Our server was friendly, inviting, polite, and professional. She made recommendations ave everything was fantastic. The cheesecake that was suggested...OMG. we kept saying this is the last bite until we realized it was gone 🤣. Highly recommend.

This was a return visit to this location. The is our preferred location. We have visited the Ellenton as well as the 14th Street (Landsand location) This visit was on Father's Day for a family celebration. Reservations were made in advance for the dinner, without any difficulty. Upon arrival we checked in with the hostess, and then seated immediately. Our sever arrived shortly after requesting to take the drink orders. We ordered a serving of mosscoto. Entrées ordered were garlic penne alfredo, included were a side salad and Texas toast garlic bread. Fish & chips with double order of chips. A bowl of New England clam chowder and the Shirmp and grits. Our server Ronald "Ron" was very attentive and was able to assist with questions about drinks and menu options. He also credited the table with the Father's Day special, and discounted drink. As with our others visits to this location the food arrived quickly and hot not long after the appetizer salad and soup. We're coming back again in the future looking forward to the exceptional service and quality food. Probably not even for a specific special occasion. A local restaurant worth visiting again and again.

Food was amazing!! Service was a bit slow but still adequate. The crab and oysters both were full of flavor and well prepared!

Great food,great service, great atmosphere! My family and I eat here all the time & they have consistently delicious food when we visit. They always have some sort of drink and food specials. My husband and I had dinner there a couple nights ago for his birthday and they graciously gifted him a slice of key lime pie. Class act all the way!

Just finished dinner at Anna Maria Oyster Bar on Cortez. What a GREAT experience!! We had the pleasure to have Stephanie as our server. Stephanie was amazing and a pure delight! The food and portion sizes were nothing more than shocking! We will be back as soon as this meal settles! Thank you Stephanie for a wonderful experience!!

We arrived and was seated by the hostess outside. She never let the waitress know we were there so after 15 mins I got up and went inside and the waitress scurried out to help us. My hubby liked the biscuits but I wasn't a fan of the biscuit with sage. Coffee was burnt and just not good. As we finished and left another guy was telling them they had 5 minutes to recognize he was seated or he was leaving. Seems this is an issue here. The training starts at the top. I would recommend choosing another place for breakfast...

Enjoyed a simple yet satisfying breakfast at this charming spot. The atmosphere was cozy, with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. A lovely way to start the day!

Sat outside to avoid the wait and stayed cool enough with the fans going. Had a pleasant experience and a tasty breakfast/brunch. I enjoyed the traditional eggs benedict on the sage biscuit and a couple flavored mimosas. Large menu and great service.

Love coming here for breakfast and enjoying the good food and outside seating. Was a little surprised and annoyed when we noticed on our bill today that a regular coffee was $4.50, and a soda was $4.79. The server told us they got a new menu this week, but $10 for two basic drinks seemed a little ridiculous. I’ll get water next time.

Had breakfast. Thought price was high until got my food. Eggs were done perfect. Sausage patties juicey. Sage biscuit is excellent. Grits were hot and also very good (got there when opened 7am). Service was great. Sat outside and was not forgotten. Will be back.

Very disappointed. First of all we payed 45 dollars for just two sandwiches. Second of all the food was so greasy. When you take a look at the bottom bun of the sandwich it’s covered in oil. The minute I opened the to go box my appetite disappeared. The egg was slippery and there is also a huge slab of ham in it which is impossible to chew.

The food and service were excellent at Sage, it was my first time there. The food came out in a timely manner, the proportions were large and the food was fresh. We sat outside which made for a nice atmosphere. Plus they allow dogs which is also great.

The restaurant is at the end of a pier so you see water in every direction you look. Food was great, service was amazing! The place is very popular so expect it to be relatively busy but it was not loud. Parking is very limited and watch out for public parking lots! On a Sat night the fee is $15.00 per hour. It is worth it to drive around and walk a little bit to find free parking!!

Found this on Trip Advisor and then Google. Both had a lower score than I'd give. Beautiful Friday afternoon outside and great service from Sam. Even though we only ordered fried food, it was all delicious. The fried oysters were yummy with a nice batter coating. The fish in the Fish and Chips dish were not battered (my preference), but very tasty and abundant. Fries were good as well. $7 for a Coors Light aluminum. Loved the condiment container with attached lid--good for waterfront dining. Atmosphere outside is what brought us here but we were both pleasantly surprised with everything.

Normally when I eat out, I don’t finish my meal or I’m not totally satisfied—but this time, everything was divine! My uncle was cracking his usual jokes, and I appreciated how kind and unfazed our waitress was. I even asked everyone at the table to rate their meal from 1–10, and everyone said between a high 8 and a 10! The service was excellent—thank you so much, Jonah, for serving us. We’re so glad we had you!

Tonya was a great waitress. The deck off that pier is cool and makes for a great atmosphere. The boom boom shrimp was great. The shrimp, clams, fried fish and scallops were great. The fries are just ok. Hush puppies are great with honey and butter. Would def come back!

First impression was the menu has a wide variety of seafood dishes. The option to mix and match the selection of a dozen oysters was a very appealing feature. We ordered the tequila lime oysters, the grandmas, spinach Parmesan, and the chimichurri oysters. All…came…out…cold. We also ordered the peel and eat shrimp and the PEI mussels. Shrimp wasn’t deveined and very much over cooked/steamed and unseasoned. Mussels were overly steamed/cooked separately from the white wine sauce advertised being sautéed in with the mussels but appears to have just been poured over the mussels. Pictures show no sauce at all in mussels. Shrimp was reimbursed but we covered the tab for the mussels and oysters. My wife and I dine out quite a bit and we never do reviews but we also haven’t been this disappointed. Our Server could have been more assertive as well.

Food was good, service was great. We had the PEI mussels to start. Deelish! I had the fish tacos. My husband had the Tuna poke bowl. Sides for me was supposed to be squash/zucchini & coleslaw. I was served undercooked green beans mixed with overcooked green beans. Lol. It was fine. Atmosphere was great, right on the water. All in all, good for the price. Take the trolley, the parking is terrible! Luke was our server, very friendly and professional. Thank you!

Great atmosphere. Great local eats. Disappointed a few things on the menu were not available but the conch bites were great as was the blackened grouper sandwich and Brussel sprouts.

Very good!! Came in tonight and food was so good! good prices good portions. The service was amazing! She was a sweet heart and explained everything so nicely!

I love this place! They have so many great waitress's and a great boss. Everybody their treats me and my Mom like humans with respect. Kim is like top dog! Shannon is another queen of waitress's. Shannon loves my yellow floral dress. It makes her day every time. So I wear it for her and me but I can agree to not wear it sometimes. People like Kim and Shannon help make the service great. So hopefully both of them stay for as long as possible. The only downside is the prices are not cheap but nobody is these days. Go and eat breakfast or lunch or dinner. Have all of those or just 1 of them. This place is full of love!

Only one server on, she did her best but service was slow. The owner didn’t help her enough and the gentleman who I think was the manager was also not very helpful. We ordered a Greek salad and the dressing tasted Italian (It certainly wasn’t Greek). Ordered the greek chicken plate and the chicken was very bland as if it wasn’t marinated at all. Greek potatoes needed lemon, green pepper and onion were bitter. Overall not a great experience.

Wow just ate at Olympic Cafe and delicious! Fresh pita bread, gyro meat was tender and juicy - large portion, order the homemade potato salad - creamy savory wonderfully different, it came with a small cup of homemade coleslaw crunchy and not too sweet - perfect. Owner was really nice and next time I’m trying the Pastitsio. Highly recommend!

Where do I start? The food, impeccable, the staff, beyond friendly, and the food again..? DELICIOUS 100/10, this place has authentic Greek food, dishes I’ve only had in Greece before. Will definitely be coming back

I wasn't really a fan of this restaurant. The visit started with the waitress being upset with her collegue, because she saw we weren't getting any service. She told us she is the only one working in the place. Even though I noticed she was right, because she was the only one running the restaurant.. it felt kinda weird as a costumer. The food wasn't very good either. It wasn't authentic at all. The feta was very cheap quality. There was so much dressing over the salad that I didn't taste anything else. The chicken of the other salad was very dry. It is impossible that it was freshly prepared. Really disappointed with my experience, because the reviews on this page are very good

Stopped here on an impromptu lunch. It’s a cute diner with great food. Portion sizes were huge. I ordered a side of fries and didn’t even eat them because the gyro was so big. My only critique would be I was surprised how expensive the bill was. We spent $50 on two gyros, one coke, one side of fries, & a cup of soup. It was good, I’ll be back for sure.

We were visiting the area for the day and chose to try this place. I wish parking was more apparent. I guess it's street parking but nothing was clearly marked, it's a residential neighborhood that is only really meant for walking. There was one other table occupied and we had our choice of 2 other tables inside. The food was absolutely delicious, so I'd love to go back, but the parking has me wary of having to park far away and hike in the Florida sun and heat to get there. We had the short rib ravioli and calabrese pizza, loved it!

Food, Wine, Art… all fun and fantastic at Arte Caffe. Exquisite flavors from the various regions of Italy. Our friends described a Michelin Star level restaurant and we all had to find out with them. Ohhhh SO good! As you look over the menu, make sure you leave an option open for the evenings specials. Make a reservation and go, Go, GO. 🇮🇹

We decided to check out the Caffe after hearing how good the food was. For appetizer we had the caprese salad which was fresh and tasty. For our entrees we ordered 2 of the specials, the meat ravioli with garlic cream sauce and the eggplant parm. We were not disappointed! Both were delicious. Our server was very friendly and walked us through a few items we had questions on. The atmosphere is pretty chill. When it was time for dessert we went with the tiramisu and canoli. Bothe tasted fresh and we will be ordering again for sure! One thing to note is that they recommend making a reservation. The space is not huge and between the good food and regulars it might be tough to get a seat. We will definitely be back and I suggest you give it a try! Buon Appetito !!

This was my 2nd time dining at Arte Caffe and my wife’s first time. We went with two other couples and had the family style dinner. As was the case the first time I was there, all in our group couple stop raving about our dinner experience. Remo prepared delicious pizza and pasta and Meredith delivered the deliciousness (including her amazing desserts). Both took the time to visit with us after dinner after other diners had left. They are both wonderful people and truly care about their customers experience at their restaurant. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat, this might not be the place for you as everything is freshly made. But, if you are looking for a unique dining experience with amazing menu items, this is the place to go. We will be back again and again.

Great food. Home made sauce has all the ingredients of simmering for hours on the stove and pasta truely perfect al dente!

This cafe is still here in the Village of the Arts after 9 years. Very,very unique with great food and coffee(very smooth espresso). The owner is from Italy and he uses very high quality ingredients. Menu is quite extensive. There are bakery items, market products, pizza, salads, as well as, 10 different pasta dishes. Very funky and eclectic establishment. Some of the owners collection of sports memorabilia and some toys are displayed. Highly recommended.

Absolutely adorable little spot within the Village of the Arts. The inside is very quaint but they do have outdoor seating as well. The food was very delicious, but be aware it does take a little bit to prepare so if you're in a hurry this might not be the place for you. My pizza (Bianca) was amazing and I REALLY wanted to try their homemade tomato sauce so I asked the (owner?) for a side of it, mentioning I would of course pay extra. There were dishes all over the menu that gave tomato sauce so I didn't think it would be a grand request to ask to try it. She promptly let me know that they do not serve sides of tomato sauce... Seemed a bit odd since it was our first time here but to let your patrons order some tomato sauce at an Italian restaurant but, such is life 😂 I also asked if I could keep a menu to read over and to look over desserts. She quickly took the menu from me and replied "no you can't keep the menu, I'll just tell you what I have". So I ended up ordering the profiteroles, which were pretty good. It says that they are covered in some hazelnut spread but it just tastes like chocolate pudding. But the profiterole itself is very good. I had to walk into the little room she was in, while she was on her laptop, and ask for refills a couple of times. So needless to say, I wasn't feeling very a very welcoming or warm energy here. Fortunately, the food was good enough to negate the subpar service. Would still come back but I would order it to go, I'm too old to have to put up with rude people while I eat 😆.

Lovely, comfortable, welcoming restaurant with wonderfully warm and helpful service staff...from hostesses to owner to servers and everyone. Delicious fresh food, and incredible wine list and more. We enjoyed the bone-in veal cutlet, filet mignon, truly French style fries, Cesar salad and a bottle of Bordeaux! 5-Stars all the way here at Brandeton's fabulous Chateau 13!

Absolutely phenomenal experience! I celebrated my birthday dinner here and couldn't have asked for a better evening. The food was nothing short of exquisite. Every bite was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made the night extra special. Huge shout out to Mike for being an outstanding server. He was attentive, kind, and truly top-notch. The wine selection? A flawless 10/10. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be returning and recommending this place to everyone I know! Thank you for making my Birthday special!

Cozy atmosphere, phenomenal food, plentiful wine. We had everything from charcuterie to braised octopus to foie gras. Delicious! Highest recommendation.

Hidden gem with European charm! Dining here felt like a quick escape to Europe without leaving town. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were welcomed with old-world charm and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, with just the right touch of sophistication—perfect for a relaxed date night or a special gathering. The menu was a beautiful blend of classic European dishes with a modern twist. You can tell the chef respects tradition but isn’t afraid to elevate it. The duck leg confit was fantastic! Every element felt thoughtful, from the textures to the seasoning. Service was excellent—warm, professional, and never rushed. We truly felt taken care of without being hovered over. If you’re looking for authentic European cuisine, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that transports you, this is it! It’s a very nice restaurant so obviously it is best to make a reservation if you want specific accommodations. Can’t wait to return.

Absolutely fabulous experience all around!!! From the moment we entered, we felt like VIPs with great service. We were celebrating a girls weekend and all the staff we came in to contact with were so kind and friendly. They were SO helpful and knowledgeable about all things wine. We shared a few bottles and were very happy with our choices. I ate off the Prix Fixe menu, which had a small bite, appetizer, and entree. Every single bite was so delicious and displayed so beautifully. I would absolutely go back in the future!

Chateau 13 is consistently amazing!! The food is incredible and the seasonal menu always impresses. What’s better than the food is the service! Always checking that everything is perfect and happy to accommodate every ask. The beef tartare is superior & we always HAVE to get the fois gras ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our favorite Bradenton restaurant!!!

Husband took me on a surprise dinner on a Tuesday evening and everything was great. From the service to food presentation and taste. Especially good if you miss European style food. The octopus was my favorite! See you back soon.

Loved our experience! So laid back, makes you feel like a local. The food was delicious. We had the smoked salmon, grilled shrimp, fried shrimp, clam strips, conch fritters, & Grilled grouper! Everything was yummy! We even liked the coleslaw & sweet potato fries. All outdoor seating, No ac, we arrived at 6:30 got in line and by the time we got through the line and wait the sun was hidden behind nearby buildings and we were in the shade we were served and done eating by 7:30pm the location is so neat you don’t even care about the wait. Highly recommend if you’re a foodie. CASH ONLY

I’m a tampa native and I do this thing anytime I’m around the beach. Find a good grouper sandwich. I looked for about two hours to find the perfect place and I found it! They source their own local seafood and have a warehouse right next door that cleans, skins and filets them on site. Off the beaten path is always a great sign. I ordered my typical fried grouper sandwich and Nicole who was extremely friendly, recommended I try American cheese on it… and you know it really added something to the meal! I’ve never put cheese on a fish sandwich in my life but I would say definitely try it once and definitely try this place out. Very friendly staff, outdoor seating on the water and cold beer! It truly doesn’t get much better than this. 10 out of 10 hands down!!

A must stop for seafood lovers if in the area. Never disappoints. Unassuming, not stuffy, not "fancy", just very reasonably priced good ol' fabulous seafood right out of the gulf. 👍 Be aware, it is cash only, although there is an atm on site.

Hidden gem for seafood! I can’t believe I’ve never been here before. I got fresh oysters and a delicious scallop & shrimp platter with great coleslaw and cheesy grits. Casual, rustic waterfront place with picnic tables on a dock. Cash only. There’s an ATM on site but it wasn’t working the day I went.

An amazing old Florida experience. Sitting on a dock eating fresh stone crabs cracked so perfect that no crackers are needed. Seafood does not get any fresher. Order from the counter, food is delivered in a white box as you enjoy the views of Sarasota Bay and one of the last of the old Florida fishing fleets. Expect to wait to order and to get your food. My favorite place to eat Seafood and so glad it is where I live. Check the Board for Specials in addition to the regular menu. There is also a fish market. Bring cash, no credit cards accepted.

Fresh seafood always tastes great at Star Fish Company. You literally sit on the docks where the ships deliver the fish to this restaurant. This casual setting delivers an authentic Florida experience. You order at the window, pay cash, and the food is delivered to your picnic table. The calamari, shrimp and grouper were hits with our family. Hamburgers and chicken are also available for land-lubbers.

Stopped at this extraordinary out of the way spot on our way in to Anna Maria Island - the service and food were amazing and affordable. Outdoor seating with a quietly spectacular view. Counter service is quick and efficient with something tasty for the whole family.

Unique vibe and great food. Village of the Arts is a fun part of Bradenton. Restaurant is in an old house, quaint and intimate and a little bit funky. The paella and truffle shellfish are amazing!

Wonderful atmosphere, cozy and friendly with amazing food and even more amazing owners. Definitely a memorable place. The owners worked extra hard to fit us in on New Years Eve and their fixed price menu was to die for. The art is so well priced and all beautiful as well.

This is my first Google review ever and I'm pleased that it's for this restaurant--Arts & Eats deserves it. The food and service are both impeccable--truly the best I've received in Bradenton--and I anticipate repeated trips back here to sample its Tuesday specials. The Tuesday evening crowd was minimal, a bit of live music, and outdoor seating was wonderful. I could see it being a bit bustling on the weekends, located in the Village of the Arts, but the homemade dishes are definitely worth it. Five stars, easily.

This was the worst meal we had in years. I can't believe they have the audacity to charge fine dining prices and serve low quality food. It also took over 45 mimutes to get our food. First we had a soup that was watery and tasteless. Then we specifically asked if the curry was hot and they said no. It was so hot we could barely eat it. The chicken fingers were overcooked dry and tasteless. The only thing that was passable was the crab salad. When we asked for the check I was planning to complain but the waiter never asked how everything was and walked away so fast I could talk. After I asked to see the manager or owner and was told she was coming so we waited while one of us went to the restroom. She never came. We paid and left but will never go back.

The following is my mother's Yelp review, and I completely agree: I have driven past this restaurant several times and became curious so I looked it up on Yelp. The reviews were great and the food pictures made me hungry, so I decided that my son needed a break from working on a midterm paper and I had a block of selenite in my trunk just begging to be carved so...a nice meal was what we both needed. I should have chosen somewhere else. Initially, everything was pleasant, the atmosphere was welcoming and the musician was good. The hostess was very nice, our table was small and wobbly but that seemed to be part of the motif. The bread was tasty, the coffee fresh, we both ordered the special lamb shank. Then we waited, and waited, and waited...after 55 minutes I asked the waitress if it was customary for a lamb shank to take so long. She told me that we had ordered two, so it took longer...I was a bit perplexed on why that would matter (she had told us that it had already been cooking for 48 hours) and wondered why we were not told about how long it would take. Then she told me not to be alarmed if a lamb shank arrived for the table next to us before ours. The table had been there for not even 10 minutes, and had already had their appetizer personally delivered by the chef/owner (who by the way did not even glance in our direction or offer any reason for why we were waiting so long). I told her if that happened I would most definitely walk out. She then left the table and came back with our food minutes later. I was shocked. My lamb was fine, my son's was very fatty...we brought the fat home for the dogs so at least they were happy. I am not sure why we were treated the way we were. An explanation and perhaps an apology from someone other the waitress would be nice. My son is majoring in Food and Cultural Anthropology so he was looking forward to tasting what they had available. Neither of us were impressed. 3/27 - My mother's response on Yelp to the owner's comment pretty much sums up how I feel. I do have something to add though, first of all, your waitress basically lied to you. More importantly, I really wish that I had not asked my mother to just relax and let it go since it was Good Friday. She was going to ask for the manager after we were told by the waitress that our food may come out after a table that pretty much arrived an hour after we did (give or take 10 minutes). I also have changed my review from 2 stars to 1 star as a response to the owner's comment making our experience a lasting unpleasant incident.

There is an extremely limited and expensive menu - I think it was four or five dinner options and a small handful of appetizers. Their salmon is apparently amazing (another member of our party had it). If you can get a hold of the daily menu and want something on it and are willing to pay about $30/plate, the food is high quality. I went there as part of a group and nothing on the menu looked appetizing, so I was especially reticent to spend that much on food that I wasn't interested in eating. I ended up just ordering bread, and that was alright, but nothing to write home about. To be fair, what they do have is mostly excellently prepared. I won't be returning, but I can see why someone who has some cash to burn and likes most foods would want to go there.

Lovely experience in a quaint and locally owned restaurant. This is not a chain, and a lot of work is put in to all the food. A bottle of wine can be had for $18, with some truly delicious food for $15 and up at dinner. The ravioli is delicious, not like what you find at other places (big noodle, watery and tasteless). Service was extremely attentive and friendly. Cool vibe, but not so cool that regular touristy folks are excluded. The owners checked in to see if we were happy, and we were! They really do care. Thank you for the great time!

Overall good experience. I had the roasted beet salad , one of my favorite salads ever. My husband had the lobster roll. A bit pricey (over $30) but he loved it. We shared a peel and eat shrimp platter. Drinks were good and view is nice. Summer months are hot (went beginning of August) they do have fans outdoors to keep air circulating. I do feel their pricing is a bit higher probably for being beachside.

We really enjoyed everything here. We ordered some drinks before we got to our reserved table on a Sunday. Our server Turah was very kind, friendly and prompt with everything! We ordered the crab and spinach dip which was excellent, cowboy shrimp which was extremely tasty and flavorful with the right amount of spice and the crab cake which was mouth watering delicious for appetizers. For dinner we got the lobster roll which was packed with lobster and very fresh tasting, chicken and waffles which was really good but not the biggest fan of the syrup, grouper filet which you can never go wrong with, blackened red snapper with a beurre Blanc sauce with crab which was soooo good and another crab cake. Overall, the food was well worth it, even though it was a little pricey. The service made the visit pleasant and the atmosphere is perfect right by the beach to watch the sunset. I'd come here again and again.

Every single dish we ordered was a hit—from the crispy potatoes and buttery shrimp to the perfectly blackened fish and ultra-fresh oysters. The sweet potato mash and roasted veggies? Chef’s kiss. You can tell the kitchen cares about quality and seasoning. On top of that, our server was friendly, attentive, and knew the menu inside out. Great food, great vibes, and even better service—we’ll definitely be back!

Great food and service. Best crab cake and crab & spinach dip in the area. Great atmosphere, chilled, not pretentious. Amazing sunset with the Pelicans and all sorts of gulls flying and fishing for our delight, and the courtesy of the dolphins jumping to say goodbye. The show continued with a stunning moonrise behind the Sandbar. What else 😎?

We’ve been to this restaurant a few times before it was sold to the new owners. Back then, it was really great — the food was delicious, the menu had plenty of options, and the atmosphere was beautiful with the sandy beach setting. Unfortunately, we visited again yesterday and were very disappointed. The quality of the food has gone downhill, and the prices are not worth it considering how disappointing the meal was. I ordered the red snapper and it was like rubber (fish is supposed to be flakey). My bf ordered the burger and fries which he wasn’t happy with. It’s such a shame to see that happen to a place that used to be one of my favorite spots to visit whenever I came out to Florida.

The fresh grouper sandwich was excellent. Sat outside plenty of fans to keep us cool right on the beach beautiful view of the ocean. We had drinks. Swam for a while enjoyed our day.

Totally redone after hurricanes. Highly recommend valet parking. Went early about 3pm deck, not open, but sat inside waited about 20 minutes. When left was seating on deck and their was almost hour wait. This restaurant is on the beach, great views, great sunsets, Meal was good but the veggies, you couldn't cut with a fork and hardly a knife. Service was awesome. Best meal was stuffed shrimp with crab. Blackened grouper ok. Did not like the veggies, very hard.

The Beach House has come back better than ever after Milton. There are no visible scars left from the hurricane. We celebrated my husband’s birthday there recently and it was perfect. We had a front row view of the beach and Gulf and the sunset, ate with our toes in the sand and had a great server, Cam, who was very good with menu suggestions. We started with a couple nice drinks. I had the Paloma and my husband had an Old Fashion. We split a bowl of clam chowder which was very good. My husband had the Lobster Ravioli and I had the Mahi special which was coated with a coconut crust similar to coconut shrimp. Mine was very good but my husband’s Ravioli won the taste contest. Wow! We even got a full-size free dessert. My husband picked the Key Lime Pie and it was delicious. As I said earlier, it was perfect. The Beach House remains as one of our favorite beach-front restaurants to go to.

Stopped in on a Wednesday for an early dinner with a friend after sitting on the beach for a few hours. It may have been around 4:00 ish so the dinner crowd hadn't arrived yet. We sat out on the back patio in the sand overlooking the beach. The sun and water views were amazing! It took quite a bit of time for our waitress to come greet us which I thought was odd because the restaurant wasnt that busy. Once she did, the service was fine. I ordered the Farm Salad with grilled salmon and it was spectacular! It was so tasty and it was the biggest piece of salmon I think I have ever gotten out. It was cooked perfectly. My friend had the Grouper Tacos and said that they were excellent as well. I would highly recommend the Beach House! Prices are on the high side, but then again you are paying for the location and water views while dining. Definitely worth it!

The views, drinks, food and vibes were all on point. If you are looking for a lunch that hits all of these this is it! Will absolutely come back and the fish and chips was delicious. Service was great and so were our cocktails. Amazing ocean front outdoor dining.

We had an awesome dinner at Beach House on Longboat Key! I got the coconut mahi mahi—hands down one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever had. My wife went with the grouper tacos and loved every bite. The old fashioned was perfect too. Great food, great service, and a killer sunset view. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a nice dinner with friends. Our server was one of the nicest (and good) that we have experienced in quite awhile. The stuffed grouper was my wife’s best meal so far this trip.

The food was absolutely amazing! The view is fabulous as well and the service was on point! I 100% recommend the coconut shrimp and the coconut crusted mahi mahi, both were great with the pina colada sauce. The mahi mahi was such a large helping we could have shared it!

I would give this 10 Stars if I could! Everyone at our table said their meal was some of the best they've ever had. We have the shrimp platter, crab cakes, fish and chips, and chicken Florentine and they were superb. Even the kids chicken fingers were tender and grape flavor. Plus you can't beat the view! We will absolutely be back again

Stopped here by luck while on a day trip while on vacation in Siesta Key and exploring the barrier Island. This place is a must. Delicious food, amazing views and wonderful & friendly team! I wish this place was close to my home, I would be a regular! My family of 5 all loved their food! Calamari, Lobster Bisque, Burger, Mac and Cheese, Grouper Taco and Desserts were all hits.

This was our first time and the food was delicious! We will be back! The lobster bisque was delicious. My sister and I both ordered salmon cakes with mashed potatoes and season veggies. Everything was delicious. Definitely a meal I would order again if it's on the menu.

I completely understand the popularity of this place now that I’ve had a chance to visit. I live near the island and this has been on my list of popular dining spots. Now I see the hype 😊 The esthetic appeal was the selling point. Relaxing, quiet with a calming ambiance! The best calamari I have ever eaten and I’m not a fan of this dish. Service was top notch. Highly recommended ✌🏼💛🌊☀️

We came in on a Saturday night. As expected on the island we had a wait which was fine. We ordered 3 Moscow mules and one rum and coke at the bar while we waited. The bill for the drinks was 70.00. There wasnt much sitting room at the bar but some wrap around bench sitting outside so we did that. After about an hour and 30 we got called and sat on their back patio area. They had plenty of fans to keep us all cool. The bread that was bought to the table was amazing!! We ordered fried green tomatoes which were very good and Brussels, thank goodness our waitress told us that for some reason when the Brussels come so do the flies, so just to be prepared, she was right!! But we managed okay. Once she took them away no more flies. I ordered the shrimp and grits, let me tell you it was the best I have ever eaten. The grit cake in the center and the sauce with plenty of sausage and shrimp, it was chefs kiss. My husband ordered the special which was I believe halibut and it was like butter. Great atmosphere and the waitress was very attentive. Definitely will be our go to place when we visit in the future.

The 1st thing we experienced was ordering our drinks and asking the waitress 20 minutes later where our cocktails were. She said that was a normal time due to it being a craft bar. (Ive never waited that long for drinks ever) We went during the week in August (8th) it wasn't that busy. The food was average and edible besides the brussel sprouts (avoid). Everything took so long that by the time we got our food it was almost closing time (went over an hour before closing) and we felt a bit rushed. The steak we ordered was supposed to be med rare but most of it was med well. So many other options on the beach to choose from. Quite dissapointed. Won't be returning. Dessert was good, we got that to go.

We stopped in early for lunch to beat the crowd. Seating inside was full so we sat on the front porch overlooking the water. Even in the heat it was comfortable with all the fans they had. I ordered grouper tacos with pineapple coleslaw and it was excellent. The two tacos had large chunks of grouper and it was more than satisfying. My wife had thr BLT on a croissant severd with Neuskes bacon and plenty of it. The server was very attentive. There is also a large salt water fish tank inside so next time we'll try to sit inside. Prices were reasonable and the view was great. This place is worth the trip.

Had an absolutely gorgeous lunch yesterday. We sat outside with our doggo and they brought a bowl of water for her. The calamari and mussels were delicious, In addition to the grouper sandwich and tacos!

We loved it here. Such a cute little vibe. My kids loved the games as we waited for our food. We arrived early and got a table immediately which was nice. The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My husband really loved the poke bowl he ordered, and I was left wishing I had grabbed it too. It was delicious.

Fantastic place on a quiet area of the beach where you can watch the boats & kayaks sitting under some very cool trees in the sand. There are several fans deployed to keep you cool! Our server Zach was chill & informative about the menu. We enjoyed some drinks & had the calamari with a unique dipping sauce based on coconut. I liked it although my husband prefers a spicy marinara sauce. He had the chicken sandwich - was ok - kind of dry with the tasty homemade potato chips. I had the peel & eat shrimp - delish with a side of broccolini. We enjoyed it immensely & will be back!

Sat at the bar and we had a very nice bartender! He showed us all the menu and specials plus he offered us the top picks! We had the grilled crab which by the way was amazing!!!! Breaded shrimp and the crispy Brussels 10/10… I had the margarita with pineapple and tajin, I did not like it too much and I would prefer a normal margarita also it needed a little bit more of agave but I think that is just a preference! I would come back to keep trying their interesting cocktail list! 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸

This is not the first time we have dined at Mar Vista. We have always had great service, food and atmosphere. We came back for my husband’s birthday and as a recommendation to friends who were visiting. This evening out was disappointing compared to our prior visits. We had reservations for 6 ppl at 8 pm. The hostess struggled to find our reservation which kicked off a comedy of errors, so to speak. We had a nice table by the water, requested when making the reservation. We waited for over 10 min without acknowledgment until we went back to the host and ask if we had a server. 🙄 The server (Chriztopher) finally arrived, tossed some cardboard coasters around and ask for a drink order. When asked if there were any specials, he said “no, we had red snapper but we are out so I’m not going to bother to tell you.” We ordered wine, beverages, and appetizers (tater tots, peel and eat shrimp) apps were great but slow to be delivered. We then ordered our dinner Seafood Trio (recommended), Jalapeño-glazed Grouper (recommended) and Filet minion + requested addition scallops. We were then informed they were out of scallops as well the red snapper (2 of 3 items explained to be on the Trio). We were told the fish would be substituted with another fish (although not sure with what) and in lieu of scallops we would receive some extra shrimp. Needless to say 3 orders of the Trio were changed and no add on to the steak dinner 🙄. We were told that we should not have made reservations that late because the kitchen frequently runs out. Seriously, the restaurant sets the reservation times!? Maybe a disclaimer needs to be added at time of booking! The Grouper was delicious as was described. The Trio was less than desirable without a trio and the steak was fine nothing amazing. So 3 out of 6 guest were highly satisfied for their main course. We had dessert - Chocolate Cake for 2 and Key-lime for the birthday and some expresso martinis - both desserts were fabulous. The key-lime was served and a platter with birthday wishes include which was nice. The martinis were okay. All in all our dinner ended on a good note. I would say we had dinner out but not a true dinning experience, there’s a big difference! We dined next door at the Shore the evening before (same time, same guest) and at a comparable cost. I am sad to say, the Shore blew MarVista away in all categories - service, food and atmosphere! Not sure what’s happening with MarVista, maybe they were just having a bad night. It was definitely less than we have previously experienced from a well-known favorite.

A staple for Longboat! This place is a must my family was in town and we went twice. It is the loveliest dining experience with exceptional views. The food and service is TOP TIER! All around great dining.

Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant and Pub offers a stunning close up view of the bay—you simply can’t get closer to the water! The friendly staff and prompt service make for a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. While the food is more on the simple, classic pub-fare side, the variety of dishes and drinks pairs perfectly with the gorgeous setting. A great spot to relax on Longboat Key.

This is an open air indoor restaurant, with great outdoor sea side open dining, docks, food and refreshments top notch. We paced a long pleasant afternoon Boats docking, elevated above water surfer. All great, all cool..

We like their large menu selections, but the serving was a little less than what I expected for the price. However, the dishes we ordered were delicious and did not disappoint. The kids also like their large selections on the kids menu and everyone seemed to have enjoyed their meals. The atmosphere was just fair. But the big fans they have around definitely helped mitigate the heat and humidity today and was very much appreciated for sure. The excellent service from the front host to our waiter was the best for us.

We went for an early dinner and the hostess and our server were friendly and attentive. As for the food, it lacked flavor. We ordered the Coastal Clam Chowder (tasted like it was out of a bag and super thick), the Angus burger (basic) and the Mahi Sandwich. It is a convenient spot for a quick bite, but not what we were expecting.

Was nervous to go here given the inconsistent reviews, but they were wrong! Had the pretzel, grouper tacos, quesadilla and specialty cocktails = all delicious! Sam, our waitress, was bomb with great recommendations, and the live music a bonus. Definitely go! And you're treating yourself to go out. If it's too expensive, stay home.

Food servings are great! Taste is good, and the atmosphere is fun and great! The menu options are very good and they have several cocktails that are very tasty. The mozzarella sticks are delicious! Honestly, this is a great spot to chill, have a great time, and have some good food.

Extremely Fun place to eat, had delicious grouper tacos, and pulled pork sliders ! Also the Pina Colada was delicious and was great drinking it as live music was played and we were refreshed by an afternoon shower! Everything was spectacular and Olivia was wonderful and met all of our needs. You Must eat at the Ugly Grouper, Anna Marie Island!

The seating is all outside, but they have plenty of fans to keep it cooler. The waitress was very helpful in giving recommendations. Our appetizer was the best part of the meal. The chicken quesadilla was absolutely delicious! I wasn't very impressed with the grouper tacos or the new england clam chowder soup.

An outdoor restaurant. Parking is slim, especially on a busy tourist day. The food was good but overpriced. The wait time was reasonable. It's a decent spot. The highlight of the dining experience was our waiter, "Chris". He was phenomenal.

This place is awesome! Great food and the most delicious frappaccino ever! Go early if you want their Cinnamon rolls they go quick! Fun gift shop with lots of items from local artists. I would definitely recommend this place it was great in every way!

We’re staying at Anna Maria Beach Resort for the week and have been biking around to different spots. We stopped at Ginny’s & Jane E’s Café because she really wanted to try the Chicken Caesar wrap and I was in the mood for a BLT. Her wrap was excellent and even the chips were great. My BLT honestly surprised me, it wasn’t what I was expecting, it was better. The bun and the amount of bacon really sealed the deal. Also, the ranch here is fire. We’re from Pittsburgh, so we’ve had our fair share of ranch, and this was some of the freshest, lightest, and best-tasting ranch I’ve had. 100% recommend. The décor is also super fun. The mismatched tables and chairs give it so much character. Probably the cutest place we’ve visited so far.

My husband and I along with our 3 children visited this hidden treasure several times for breakfast while we vacationed on Anna Maria Island. It is a lot bigger inside than it seems from the outside. The Creme Brulee French Toast was by far my favorite dish, and the coffee had such great flavor! I love that they have a full kitchen, and the food is made fresh. My children loved the muffins, cookies, muffin tops and cinnamon rolls which all are generously large and look homemade. My husband also had their large breakfast platters and loved their hashbrown casserole which was the perfect cheesieness. The waffle breakfast sandwich was extremely large with 2 eggs in it, a generous serving of bacon and cheese. We highly recommend this be one of your first breakfast stops. It's busier on the weekends, but not as crowded on weekdays. The atmosphere is homey and inviting.

This is a must of you are visiting Anna Maria Island. We were out of season on a Thursday morning but it was still so busy! Short queue and a little wait for food but so worth it. The staff were working so hard. Very unique.

Definitely 1 of our favorites when we come to AMI. Everything from the food quality and quantity to the wonderful staff there make this a must stop on AMI. The Cinnamon rolls and sticky buns are amazing and the BLT with fry’s is my lunch favorite. Stephanie who works behind the counter with the cool hair has the best attitude with a smile. Great service still means something at this establishment!

I always visit this place when I come back home to visit family in Bradenton, FL. The food is always good- I always get several sweet rolls and sticky buns to take home for me. They are huge and a decent price. They are made fresh every day, and you have to get there before 9 am, to make sure you get them, as they start to get busy and can sell out. They are only open until 3 pm. They are a great place to have breakfast or brunch. They also have fresh organic ingredients and not processed foods. Healthy options. They also have a gift shop, which is neat to look around while you wait for food, or after eating. The gift shop has a lot of neat items, and also displays things local artists made which is a great thing to do. I will always visit Ginny and Jane E's.!! Love this place!!

Such a cute and fun little place. Great food. Gets very busy. You walk up and place your order, get a number, self serve drinks, and go wait for food at a table. Cinnamon roll and crème brûlée French toast (in pics) are wonderful. Very quick walk to the beach from here and offers both free and paid parking right near it.

Started with a house margarita-well done, although a bit small :). Took about 45 minutes to get a table (inside), so we hung out at the (small) bar. When seated, we had a great waiter. Fast, very fast service for our food - literally just minutes after ordering! The menu is great, the food was hot and good! Well worth a visit if you are in the mood for Mexican!

Free chips and salsa, as is standard with many Mexican restaurants. Cowboy Brisket Bowl was good and hearty. Cheese quesadilla was typical, but good. Food came out super fast. Service was very good. Inside seating was a bit noisy. Outside seating is available, though near the road. It appeared that there was to be entertainment setting up when we left. All in all we would go back on a future visit. We did not order any drinks. I couldn't tell wether or not if they have any NA beers. We could have inquired but didn't need any on this visit.

Who doesn’t love a great Mexican restaurant! I always try something new. Every item is delicious and worth trying. The chips and salsa are my favorite. The Service above and beyond and well the view is the only pictures I take. These videos are from separate visits! I love to frequent for obvious reasons. ✌🏼❤️🌊☀️

It is about what you expect from almost every baseline-mediocre Mexican restaurant throughout the U.S. The food was average. The waitress checked on us twice (once being the delivery of the food) in over an hour. Parking is limited as well as the interior seating. The food prices were high. The highlight of the experience was the breeze from the ocean. I don't recommend this spot.

Gone way downhill. We use to love it here. We got forgotten about and were waiting forever (about an hour so so when being told 35 minutes) until I spoke up and asked how many more before we were going to get called, they didn't even have our name on their list even though we got the text when we put our name in. We had to ask for silverware. Then they forgot to assign us a server, so even after being forgotten about we sat there for another 15 minutes without a server. Ordered a kids meal and was told there would be an up charge for the chicken on a kids quesadilla. I didn't know it was going to be a dollar less than the kids meal cost. 7 dollars for chicken on a kids quesadilla when the entire kids meal is 8 dollars. Making the kids meal 15 dollars, I would have just got her the adult portion. Unfortunately this was a huge disappointment. Not sure we'll be back or recommend any friends or family to come here anymore. Edit: posted the receipt to show being charged 6.95 not 5.25 for chicken. But again if I had been told it was going to cost almost the price of the meal I'd have ordered an adult portion to make it worth the price.

Went for a date. I pass this place all the time. This is not just a bar - great food! And nearly beachfront with the view! Love music we sat outdoors. Doubled the grouper tacos. And quesso is sooooo good! And you can judge a place by the chips and salsa. Everything finished !

Great service, awesome food and neat atmosphere with inside and outside seating with some gulf view. Tried I think a cheeseburger burrito and to my amazement tasted just like a cheeseburger! Right on Gulf Drive and next door to a great gift shop Green Turtle 🐢.

We stopped by Skinny’s place for a quick bite to eat and boy did they deliver (yet again). We each ordered the Skinny Cheeseburger with various sides - tater tots, curly fries and potato salad. The burgers were cooked to perfection & all the sides were fantastic. Can’t recommend this spot enough. On top of that - the service and vibes are top notch. We <3 Skinny’s!!! 🍔🍔🍔

No lie! When they say the #1 Burger they mean it. I haven eaten my fair share of burgers around the country and Skinnys by far definitely has one of the top burgers! This is a little gem that all burger lovers should check out I went 1hour out of my way just to check this place out and thank God I did b/c it was worth it! Burger and a beer! Definitely recommend this place to all burger lovers. Check them out.

It is a great place to swing in and have a burger & Fry's or tater tots and a cold drink. Price is good and food was delicious. You just go in order your food. Get your drink. Go sit down wherever you want and they will bring the food out to you. The service was incredibly fast and friendly.

This was our first time visiting Skinny’s. Turned out to be my favorite spot to sit and enjoy an ice cold beer. The burgers are excellent, the beer is cold, employees are friendly, and the atmosphere is fun. We sat at the bar a couple times just for drinks and enjoyed a meal on the tables on two occasions. I highly recommend this place.

The food was AMAZING. Super affordable for the area and tasted incredibly fresh and homey. The staff seemed super sweet and nice to us when ordering and with helping customers find stuff and helped the elderly with ordering. This place was one of my family’s favorites! Please go check it out!

skinny’s has become a part of our anna maria routine each time we visit. the burgers are good quality, not too greasy but just right. their fries are also just the right size and crispiness. i might recommend calling ahead to see how crowded it is if you’re bringing a larger group, just to scope it out since they don’t take reservations. nothing like a classic burger and fries in paradise!

We heard Skinny's was the place to go for an "amazing burger". While it was good, I thought is was pretty basic. The patty itself was hot, juicy, and tasted good, but wasn't the best burger I've ever had. Presentation was the most basic thing about it, but it's not a place to go if you are looking for presentation. Atmosphere is OK, it's a road-side joint which is fine. Picnic table seating outside in a small area so it can be tight when it's busy. A few tables inside, but it's less appealing if it's atmosphere you're looking for. Definitely the hottest and freshest fries on the island!

So far so good. Seems to be good beach fare. Posted current prices on menu. The cups they sell at the bar are a good deal if you plan to come back for a few days. The AYCE pancakes are popular. I enjoyed them.

Ate here for the first time today for breakfast. Short walk on the beach from our air bnb. Had the 2 eggs, wheat toast, home fried potatoes and bacon and the gravy w/ biscuits and 2 eggs. Biscuits and gravy were good but the eggs, bacon, & potatoes was great! Coffee was ok..soda good..Nice to be able to eat directly on the beach. They offer ayce pancakes for 7.99! Would return. definitely return.

If you’re at this beach, this is great! Good food, reasonably priced and fast. The fries were not super great. Burger was really good for $9.00. They have a bar and ice cream! So convenience is upmost. I’d recommend this place because it’s fun, decent and you don’t need to get in the car, lose your spot, sweat, etc. It’s surprisingly good.

Just a sensational spot. We came for breakfast, we came for drinks. We enjoyed the sun and the shade, the short walk to the Gulf waters, the playful service, the evening ambience and the spectacular sunsets. Pack me a suitcase, I can't wait to go back

Several vendors on the beach. Typical beach food and drinks selection. Kids playground on Holmes, Manatee Beach access area. The picnic area has picnic benches and grills and shaded for the most part. Very clean and free of garbage as the cleaning crew on the beach is phenomenal.

Breakfast was very good, menu had a lot of options. We had some go for the "all you can eat" pancakes 🥞 that comes with sausage patties the first go round, biscuits and gravy with bacon, waffle with strawberries and whipped cream and even French toast... there were no complaints for any of it, everyone left with full bellies! Food came out quickly as well! Will be going back again during our stay!

What else is there to say. Dinner by the beach watching the sunset with live entertainment! The food portions were huge and everything was hot and tasted great. The fish and chips was good and so was the greek salad. We've come for the pancakes as well and they are great too. Always one of our stops when we visit.

Phenomenal ice cream and excellent service! All of the employees were accommodating and friendly. We travel a lot and always love going to small town places to try their homemade ice creams. This is by far my favorite that I’ve ever had! It took a while to decide on a flavor. I nearly had to try them all. Each flavor I sampled was more delicious than the next! I finally decided on the brownie batter and peanut butter trash can. Also pictured is the blueberry cobbler.

Holy Cow is hands down one of the best ice cream spots I’ve ever been to! The flavors are absolutely delicious and creative, but what really sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help you find the perfect scoop. They make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. You can tell they love what they do, and it makes the whole experience that much sweeter. Highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!

Extremely friendly, family-oriented ice cream joint! We thoroughly enjoyed the attention, the laughs, and the great service that we received. Hand-dipped ice cream, with plenty of options for everyone. They have some off the wall options as well. Great treat for after dinner, or after a full day at the beach, or maybe just on a rainy day like we did.

We stopped there and got each a couple scoops of their ice cream, it was some of the best I’ve ever had, so creamy and so delicious. I did not actually go into the store. I was sitting in the car my sister who was a tourist from out of town, went in and got ice cream and brought it out, I had the mint chip, and the chocolate chunks were huge and delicious. The ice cream was so creamy it was unreal, five stars all the way around. Great ice cream.

Fantastic ice cream! Stopped by quickly while at the beach and was pleasantly surprised by the high quality. The blueberry cobbler is one of the best flavors I’ve ever had!! Tasted very fresh, loved the extra texture of the graham crackers.

A Hidden Gem for Ice Cream Lovers! 🍦 If you're looking for a charming, local ice cream shop that hits all the right notes, look no further than this mom-and-pop treasure. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like family—friendly smiles, warm hellos, and genuine enthusiasm for sharing their passion for ice cream. What really sets this place apart is the variety. We're not just talking your standard vanilla and chocolate (though those are excellent too!)—we're talking rows of unique, handcrafted flavors that rotate regularly. From classics like Cookies and Cream and Mint Chip to creative hits like Honey Lavender, Maple Bacon, or Vegan Blueberry Basil, there's something here for every palate. The staff clearly love what they do, and it shows. They're always happy to offer samples, make recommendations, or even tell you the story behind a flavor. That personal touch makes every visit feel special. The shop itself is cozy, clean, and full of charm—whether you're grabbing a cone to go or sitting down with a sundae, it's the kind of place that invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment. Support local and treat yourself—you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ --- Want me to tailor it for a specific name or location?

Made a quick stop after dinner and the ice cream was delicious. The raspberry dole whip was amazing, ice cream sundaes delicious, and the double vanilla milkshake was out of this world. The owners were entertaining and fun to talk with. Wish we lived here full time!

Every year when we come down we stop here for our birthday breakfast. This morning was no different. We were greeted at the door, seated right away and offered beverages. The waitress was friendly and responsive and the food delicious and fresh as always! The manager also took extra care of me for my birthday. Every restaurant should be like this. We will continue to come back every time we’re in town. Thank you for exceptional service and starting my birthday out beautifully!

It’s very clean and love the food. Most waiters/ waitresses are very friendly but most of the time I notice one guy with the hair that he puts up barely says a word when he serves, he takes our order and he disappears and we always have to ask other servers for any questions or needs. I notice sometimes I feel like I get treated differently when I’m with my friends as teens than when I’m with my parents. Not accusing him of it but I know plenty of servers outside of first watch tend to not put as much effort into a group of teens because they’re “least likely” to tip well, which isn’t my case I’m a big tipper I still even tipped him 18% when he barely even introduced himself.

Whitney was an excellent server. She was professional, courteous and on top of things! The food was delicious. We always love this place!!

Abbott was amazing! From the moment we walked in, she made us feel so welcome. She was attentive without hovering and always made sure we had everything we needed. It really felt like she cared about our experience, and that made the meal even better. Thanks to Abbott, we’ll definitely be coming back

We have been coming here for years and this month we had Whitney as our server. We typically come with our dog and sit outside and this past time it rained after we had our breakfast served. Whitney was kind enough to offer to remake our breakfast as well as let us bring our dog in as long as he was well behaved and stayed under the booth. We have been back three mornings since that day and will continue to be loyal customers do the excellent customer service displayed by Whitney. She is an asset to your restaurant and should be commended for excellent care/service to her customers. Thank you, Whitney for a job well done

Food was great, the service was the BEST! All waitstaff, but especially Sabrina, were soooooo attentive!!!

It was a refreshing discovery for breakfast. I had never bisited and I was very pleased with every adpect of It.

This place is absolutely worth visiting if you’re in the Bradenton area! It’s right on the water, and as long as the weather’s clear and you don’t mind sitting outside, you have to head up to the rooftop for a meal or a drink. The view overlooks the river and feels just like watching the ocean at sunset—stunning and relaxing. Honestly, the view alone could carry the experience, but here the food more than lives up to it. Portions are generous—I split a chicken sandwich with a friend, and it was plenty for both of us. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious. We sat at the bar facing the river, and the bartender was quick, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. The entire restaurant was spotless, from the bathrooms to the dining area, which really stood out. Whether you’re planning a casual outing or a romantic evening, this spot is a winner all around

Julia Fishman took great care of us! She was very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious and very fast! Beer wall was fun and unique. We will definitely be back to check out the rooftop bar. It was raining the night we went.

I was craving a fish sandwich, and these guys did not disappoint! I ordered the crispy grouper blt, and it was STUPID good!! My wife ordered the Philly Cheesesteak egg rolls, and they were killer! As for the cocktails, I got the Smoked Oak Fashioned, and my wife got the Rum Punch. My drink was the best I've had in a while, and my wife enjoyed hers as well. Total damage was 80 bucks for 2 meals, 2 cocktails, and a beer. Not bad at all. Whenever I'm in Florida again, I will DEFINITELY be back to Oak & Stone!! Thank you folks, and keep up the great work!!!

Oak & Stone was on a few foodie lists, so I was excited to check it out—but unfortunately, it just didn’t live up to the hype. I went for lunch and sat by the rooftop viewing area, which had a nice ambiance. The pizza was just okay—not bad, but nothing memorable. I also ordered one of their seasonal Popsicle drinks, and while the idea was fun, the $18 price tag didn’t match the presentation or flavor. It definitely missed the mark. Later, I tried their happy hour margarita, and that was honestly much better—strong, tasty, and a much better value. Overall, the experience was hit-or-miss. It's a nice space, but for the price and the buzz, I expected a little more

The burger was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and looked great. The restaurant itself is stunning, with an amazing view of the bay that makes the whole experience even better. And I have to say, the service was outstanding; our waitress was attentive, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. Definitely a place worth coming back to!

First time here and wow… what an absolute gem! I came in from Nebraska with my sister, grabbed a couple seats at the bar, and immediately felt like we were regulars. Our bartender, Thomas, was an experience all on his own, quick with a joke, spot-on with recommendations, and somehow juggling the whole bar while making every single person feel like his favorite customer. He walked us through how the taps worked, encouraged us to sample a few, and his food picks were absolute home runs. Speaking of food, do not skip the brick oven pizza. The crust is like no other I’ve ever had… crisp on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, and packed with flavor that makes you wonder if they’re hiding an Italian grandmother in the kitchen. Thomas is the heartbeat of this place, they better never lose him, because he’s the reason people will come back again and again. The atmosphere is gorgeous, with exposed brick walls, warm lighting, and a fun, welcoming crowd. Oh, and the rooftop? The views are next-level. If you want a bar that makes you happy in punches, this is it. Don’t let a single bad review keep you away this is a must-visit.

Fun atmosphere with a terrific location. Free 2 hour street parking if you can find d a spot. The self serve beer is a ton of fun as it gives the freedom to choose without they typical beer flight high prices. Food options are great and we loved the fried pickles.

Whitney’s is a beautiful spot with a relaxed, beachy vibe that makes you want to stay a while. The atmosphere is lovely and the service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and on point from start to finish. That said, the food didn’t quite live up to the setting. It wasn’t bad, just a bit underwhelming considering the great reviews and how gorgeous the restaurant is. Still, it's a nice place to stop for a drink or a casual meal, especially if you're in the area and want good service in a pretty setting.

Great burgers (cooked correctly, medium well) with quality toppings and extras. The Whitney burger was delicious. Very tasty sauce and toppings. I also ordered the Ricotta donuts. Cooked to order, so fresh and outstanding texture and perfect taste. The service was excellent. Only drawback is the outside seating is fairly close to a busy road. But the decor is very relaxing and beautiful.

LOVE eating at Whitney’s! It’s the perfect beach lunch spot. The food is fresh and I’ve never disliked anything I’ve had there. The outdoor seating is a great vibe, and perfect on a nice day! If you haven’t been here before you definitely need to try. I really enjoy the tacos, burgers, & the dip trio app.

Very fun place! Vintage vibe in the decide, great Grouper tacos, and very friendly staff. Loved it and they deserve to be visited if you are ever on Ana Marie!

Listen, it’s an old gas station or auto shop or something and by golly they turned it into this flippin’ dope open air food joint that hits hard. And the vibes are way up. Just stop already with the vibes! Travelled from out of town with my son and we walked here from across the street where we were hanging at the beach. Seated quickly, treated kindly and served well. Our server suggested the Elote Ribs, the Whitney smash burger, and the carne asada tacos. Everything was fire, made well and with flavor in mind. Good price point considering the location. Definitely worth visiting again, gotta find a way to bring my wife here.

We drove from Orlando to go to the beach across the street from the restaurant. I want to say sorry to my waitress because I forgot her name and she was magnificent.... Thank you for your services. The only complaints I have are that they put avocado spread on the grilled chicken sandwich instead of avocado when the menu said avocado not avocado spread. I recommend coconut shrimp, and I enjoy them. Also, the french fries were a little cold other than that, everything else was great. I love the music.....dope play list

10/10 Love the vibes at Whitney’s ✨ we had such a good time + the cucumber margaritas were 🔥👌 Definitely a must if you’re visiting AMI.

100% Recommend! Pizza Social is the best pizza on Anna Maria Island hands down located on 308 Pine ave. (The North end of AMI) From the moment we walked in the door, we could tell it was going to be good! Dave was kind enough to explain that the dough is fresh made in house and is 00 dough. This is great for someone who is type 2 diabetic like myself. My wife and I ordered 2 pizzas the Meat lovers and the Hawaiian! The sauce was perfectly portioned and the crust was thin and crispy. We also ordered two salads a ceaser and a greek. Both had lots of dressing and topping were plenty! If you are on vacation or locals to Anna Maria Island you have to check this place out! You can also pick up your pizza which is great! A lot of vacationers were grabbing their pizza on their rental golf carts! The other staff were friendly and the food came out quickly! We will be back 🙌

My sister and I came to Social Pizza after spending the day out on Anna Maria Island and we were not disappointed! Upon arriving we were greeted by the staff and ordered two 10” pizzas; I ordered the Social which was absolutely delicious! My sister ordered the same pizza however with vegan cheese. We were thrilled that the restaurant were able to accommodate her dairy allergy! I loved the fact that they use a stone oven to bake their pizza so you get that authentic, fresh and crispy crust texture and robust flavor. The toppings were fresh as well and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very chill with a beach-like vibe. This restaurant is now a favorite spot for us and we will be returning! Anyone who is a pizza lover — Social Pizza is a must try! Thank you Social Pizza and team. 🍕

Pizza Social is always a hit! The garlic parm dough nuggets never fail! We also ordered the margherita pizza which is fresh and delicious! The restaurant is clean and has indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place to take kids. The lights they have up for Christmas are magical!

Extremely busy venue, but down to a process for ordering. Have to wait a solid bit, but you can stagger the wait with salads and drinks which are available instantly. The pizza is cooked perfectly in a stone oven and then drizzled with your favorite topping. An excellent pizza for being in the heart of Anna Maria.

The pizza here is fantastic, fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. He even gave my daughter crayons and a coloring page so we could take our time looking over the menu. Great food, great atmosphere, and great people, we’ll definitely be back!

Pizzas that rates right up there with those we have had in Italy! Freshest ingredients (Italian sausage to swoon over), homemade sauce, and amazing crust! Finest ingredients and all flour is 100% imported Italian 00 flour - a real blessing for those of us who cannot tolerate our American GMO flours at all.💕 let’s don’t forget that beast of the pizza oven- bubbly goodness in minutes….our group had 3 ‘AMI’ pizzas and simply raved with each bite! Don’t forget to bring your own bottle of wine to complement this delicious pizza! Super casual atmosphere and fun, caring, energetic staff. We come to AMI for a week at least once a year, and we make this place a 2 time stop every time😋

I paid $20 for a 10” cheese pizza (extra cheese) and a fountain drink which is kind of a lot. That being said, the pizza was delicious and I would pay $500 to get the recipe for the sauce. Insanely good. Like really really good. The sauce is outstanding and I’m also a sucker for any woodfire pizza. But that sauce, man. The music was exceptionally loud. I’m out of state and back home again and I think I can still hear it. Wouldn’t kill them to dial it down a notch. Also, I have awful knees and the choices for seating were high-top tables inside and chairs outside that were oddly low to the ground. Not a quibble, just a heads up if you, like me, have not yet applied your Voltaren for the day.

Great service and fresh food. But there is one major issue that seems to happen every single visit. I very clearly articulate LARGE meal, LARGE fries, LARGE drink. When order is read back, employee says Large. Then when driven around to be given order, Both fries and drink are medium! Then when notified staff they say screen says medium not large! No receipts are given for assurance. Side note also 90% of time extra paid sauces are forgotten. Why am I paying extra to not be given what I am paying? I hope this reaches the right management to fix these problems.

A thousand “thanks you “ to the amazing team at Cortez Bradenton. Cat in Catering, Gabriel on the cook line and Abi with marketing were amazing and extremely helpful. Chic Fil a showed some love to our healthcare workers here at Heritage Park. 🩷🩷🩷😘

Don't usually have any complaints. But the last 2 times we've been, orders have been completely wrong. Look at the receipt, everything is correct. So who ever is bagging up orders must be working too fast or just not paying close enough attention and putting wrong sandwiches in.

Mike is an absolute Rockstar! We brought our family in today and you know how crazy it can be for a bunch of kids ordering food. He took his time with them joked and laughed with them and was just an absolute Gentleman. A true representation of how Jesus would treat his children. The food was super fast before we could even sit down it was ready. What a great experience and great food to go along with it. Thank you!

Ordered a 12 piece grilled nugget and my partner got a sandwich. The sandwich was still raw in the middle and my nuggets were just a handful of slimy cut up chicken breast stuffed in a cup. BIGGEST waste of money on fast food yet.

Just an amazing restaurant and great experience. Good service at the register. Chicken Deluxe with mustard and all the fixing. Good enough to make you think of the first Chick-fil-A restaurants ans will bring my feienss ans lived ones to get a great lunch ans dinner. Awesome hospitality and restaurant.

OK, #1 Chicken Choice as far as I'm concerned. No matter what the setting, this is my favorite and I don't care who knows it. I love the taste of their chicken, I don't know if it's that it's always fried in fresh peanut oil (No OLD STINKY oil here, they must change it VERY frequently - YOU HEAR THAT OTHER FAST FOOD PLACES THAT HAVE FRIES???!?) VERY NICE JOB Chick-fil-A, you guys rock the frying world 🌎 with your taste. The Waffle Fries are on point, make sure you use 2-2-1 on the Mayo, Ketchup and Mustard packs as a dip for everything. This is the perfect ratio for these 3 ingredients for a dipping sauce. The waffle fries have the holes that catch just the right amount of the sauce in them when you dip them. If you are picking up to take home, you know you need to buy an extra thing of waffle fries to eat on the way home, or you won't have any fries with your meal... Or maybe someone else won't! Get an extra one, you'll be happy you did.

My 1st time here, highly recommended by my son. I ordered the cold brew honey cinnamon cold foam coffee- it was amazing. And I ordered the yogurt with homemade granola, blueberries, & bananas. I will be returning tomorrow morning for the same 2 items. The truffle chocolates looked amazing. Remember- they close at 2:00 pm so get there before them. You will want to enjoy what they have to offer. I also bought home made dog biscuits. Stella loves them. And a bag of coffee beans for my son

Prepare Your Taste Buds for Paradise! From the moment our family of eighteen vacationers stepped into the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe, we knew we had stumbled upon something truly special. What followed was an experience so delightful, we simply had to return the very next day! This isn't just a cafe; it's a haven of incredible flavors, heartwarming hospitality, and a genuine commitment to the community. Let's start with the star of the show: the Cheesecakes. Calling them "outstanding" feels like an understatement. Each slice is a creamy, dreamy masterpiece, boasting a perfect balance of rich flavor and delicate texture. From classic favorites to innovative and exciting creations, there's a cheesecake to tantalize every palate. Our large group sampled a wide variety, and every single one was met with enthusiastic praise. But don't let the name fool you – the Sandwiches here are nothing short of unbelievable! Packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients and crafted with care, these aren't your average breakfast & lunchtime bites. They are substantial, flavorful, and leave you completely satisfied. Whether you're craving a classic deli creation or something a little more adventurous, the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe has you covered. And for those with a sweet tooth beyond cheesecake, prepare to be delighted by their array of other sweet treats. Each one is a testament to their dedication to quality and deliciousness. Now, let's talk about the fuel that powers this delightful establishment: the Coffee. It's simply phenomenal. As a dedicated coffee lover, I can wholeheartedly recommend their special house cold brew. It's smooth, rich, and the perfect pick-me-up any time of day. You cannot leave without a "Cheesecake Latte", a house special! Beyond the exceptional food and drinks, what truly sets the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe apart are the owners. They are, without a doubt, the most wonderful people you could hope to meet. Their warmth and genuine care for their customers create an inviting and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like part of their family. They clearly pour their hearts and souls into their cafe, and it shines through in every aspect of the experience. As vacationers, we were particularly touched to learn about their donations of leftover food, dishwashing and laundry, and sundry items to local families. This commitment to their community is truly admirable and speaks volumes about their character. It's heartwarming to support a business that not only provides incredible food but also gives back in such a meaningful way. The fact that our family of eighteen, with varying tastes and preferences, enjoyed our experience so much that we returned the next morning for breakfast speaks for itself. Their breakfast offerings were just as impressive, setting us up perfectly for another day of our vacation. Finally, for anyone with dietary restrictions, I must give a special shout-out to their HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE ITEMS! It can be a challenge to find delicious and safe gluten-free options, but the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe has truly excelled in this area. Our gluten-free family members were thrilled with the variety and quality of the choices available. In conclusion, the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe is more than just a place to eat; it's an experience. From the outstanding cheesecakes and unbelievable sandwiches to the phenomenal coffee and the heartwarming hospitality of the owners, every aspect is top-notch. If you find yourself in the area (and even if you don't!), make the trip. You won't be disappointed. This gem of a cafe is a must-visit, and these "Cheeseheads" from Wisconsin can't wait for our next opportunity to return!

Cute little cafe with a limited menu, but the cheesecake bites are definitely the highlight, rich, creamy, and beautifully presented. The overall experience was decent, though nothing extraordinary. If you’re in the area and craving a sweet treat, it’s worth a quick stop.

Husband and I stopped in for breakfast during our AMI stay on 7/8/25. It is super convenient for anyone staying close by - we were able to walk to it in under 10 minutes. I don’t do fancy coffees, but they had a lot to offer. I just went with an iced coffee with SF caramel. It was delicious and picture perfect. My husband had the “Best Bacon Sandwich”. He didn’t love it (personal preference - just not a fan of bacon jam), but it was good! The portion size was huge. I tried it and thoroughly enjoyed it. We also got a plain cheesecake…very good as well. Took half home and enjoyed later. Ended up going back again on 7/9.

We had a really nice lunch here today away from the hustle and bustle of the beaches. I had their Chicken with Hot Sauce and creamy Coleslaw sandwich and my husband had their BLT, both were huge and delicious. Definitely worth a trip here for a classic sandwich but I hear their breakfast sandwiches are also very good. They are known for their beautiful little individual Cheesecakes, that's for our next vist.

Absolutely delicious gourmet sandwiches (such as the “Cool As A Cucumber” sandwich-amazing! or the Cordon "Ramsey" Blu). My 11 year old daughter said the cucumber sandwich was the best sandwich she has ever had. I agree. We could eat here everyday. Do not miss the chocolate covered “cheesecake truffles", the buckeye and cookie dough were our favorite! And the pumpkin and key lime cutie cheesecakes are outstanding as well. The owner knows her stuff and has a gift.

Just got the small cheesecakes today for the first time ever while visiting Anna Maria and omg they are so good! Got the toasted coconut and the lemon blueberry. Nice thick cheesecake and love the small size options they have. Hope I can stop in one more time before I head back to dreary Ohio

What a delightful store! We picked up a couple pounds of wild caught shrimp and the blue crab and artichoke dip and both were outstanding! The shrimp was so clean and fresh and tasted amazing! We will for sure be back here on our next visit to the island!

We cooked the best beach meal! Fresh scallops, shrimp, clam chowder, crab cake, and more from this great market! The cashier was so friendly, and so helpful! She even gave me a shrimp deveining tutorial. Shop small and local, it is 100 percent better!

What a great find! If you are looking for fresh seafood on AMI, look no further. This place has the best! They have a wonderful selection of seafood, as well as, several different sauces, dips, jams/jellies, desserts, etc- all locally made. Isabella was so helpful with our purchase and has a wonderful personality. Thanks, Island Fresh Market for a terrific shopping experience!

The best key lime pie and super friendly staff. We bought shrimp to grill at the condo which was great. Would highly recommend!

The steamed shrimp, crab cakes, and crab dip were all wonderfully delicious! I highly recommended picking up dinner here versus eating out in AMI.

Very well kept local seafood shop. Excellent advice from the friendly staff on what selections were best for our tastes.

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting this market while vacationing in Anna Maria Island. Very good fresh seafood, and a decent selection. The staff was very helpful also in skinning and deboning the grouper that we purchased today. We will definitely be back to purchase more seafood from this locally owned business.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the beautiful view of the river set the perfect atmosphere for a special evening. Our waitress, Sam, made the evening even more enjoyable with her warm and attentive service. She was friendly, professional, and ensured everything flowed seamlessly. The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was delicious and exceeded expectations. The service was just as amazing as the food, making it a truly memorable celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend my birthday. Highly recommend Riverhouse Waterfront for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a stunning view!

This place was okay nothing great. The food was a bit overpriced but the food was very tasty. The service was a bit slow and food came a little bit too long but the wait staff was kind and checked in on our table plenty of times. The atmosphere is nice and has a waterside view and looks into a river with boats all around it. Nice view too and time was perfect to see the sun.

I recently hosted an event here with 110 guests and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The location is absolutely stunning with an amazing view of the water, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable 20 year class reunion celebration. The space was just right for our group—open, comfortable, and beautifully set up. The food and drink service was top-notch. Every dish came out hot and fresh, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. The drinks were equally impressive—well made and consistently served with a smile. The staff was incredibly attentive and professional throughout the entire event, making sure everything ran smoothly. I’m so glad we chose this venue—it truly exceeded expectations. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-run event space!

We had another wonderful dinner at the River House last night. Service by John was superb. The food was extremely good and very large portions. I had jambalaya that was done of the best I've ever had. I couldn't eat it all! We split calamari for a starter which came out perfect. After dinner we split a slice of peanut butter pie. Even that was delicious, although we weren't able to finish that either. We sat outside because it was such a beautiful evening are were treated by another spectacular sunset! My after dinner coffee may not have been decaf! I certainly wouldn't hold that against them if it was. I feel they have raised their standards and we look forward to going back.

It was fine, I cannot recommend for a delicious meal but it was convenient and the staff was very nice. Went here twice, months apart, and sadly was disappointed both times. 1st time, spinach dip was runny, shrimp app was tough and breading fell off, Grouper was salty, Lobster pot pie had little lobster in it and the crust was only on the top, the lobster roll was good, had large chunks of lobster. 2nd time, calamari was okay, had an odd cheese pairing, Brussels were oversauced and undercooked, brushchetta was disproportionate, the bread was very small, toppings barely fit on top and there was a lot of wasted salad let behind. Fish and chips were good, lobster mac and cheese was fine, on the watery side but fine, Petite filet was awful, very Petite, dry and tough with little side veges. Atmosphere was great, on the water with nice views especially at sunset. The staff was great, friendly, attentive, they even fixed our wobbly table.

Beautiful place with amazing bay view! I was visiting Bradenton for the first time and of course that I wanted to explore the food scene and while looking for recommendations, I found out about Riverhouse. The place is beautiful. We parked in a designated area for the restaurants in the area and then we walked to the entrance of the pier where a nice gentleman took us in a small car to the entrance of the restaurant. The weather was hot so, we the car was helpful. On our way out we walked because the water was better and it is a romantic scene to walk with your partner across the pier. The staff at Riverhouse is superb. Everyone so welcoming with a Midwest vibe. We didn't have a reservation but the place was not packed and we landed a table outside with the possibility to watch the sunset. The view is amazing and totally worth it. About the food, we were hungry and we over ordered. Here is my summary: Lobster Pot Pie (3/5) - Nice presentation on this plate. I liked the flavor of the pastry dough, the top crust was perfect and the stew inside of the pie tasted amazing. But, you can barely see the lobster. Pistachio Crusted Halibut (3/5) - Again, great presentation and the vegetables around the halibut were superb. But, the halibut was overcooked with a chewy texture. Truffalo Wings (4/5) - Great wings, not so spicy and with a hint of truffle. They were a bit dry. My overall review is 4 stars. I think the view of the place is worth it and probably is more a social setting to have a few drinks and appetizers. The main dishes could improve.

We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday. We were seated quickly and our server was kind and attentive. We were pretty happy with each thing we ordered. Only gripe is that the oysters were ordered had very muddy shells that made eating them not so fun.

First time here and it was amazing. Right on the water, quiet, boat pull up. Food was delish, everyone was kind and thoughtful. Note beer & wine bar only. I had a nice cold bud for a change. It was a great time!

We LOVE Tide Tables! Our favorite spot for a local eat when my family is in town! Beautiful view of the marina, delicious food, and chill, friendly vibes. The sangria is DELICIOUS. I’ve tried just about everything on the menu at this point and I recommend the double blackened mahi mahi sandwich with fries. There hasn’t been a bad bite so far! Keep in mind the baked beans are sweet if you order them!

After a day on the water, Had a great late lunch here. Kids were pleased with the grilled cheese and chicken tenders…adults were happy with the seafood basket and especially the blackened scallops! The view wasn’t half bad either

Tide Tables is a charming waterfront restaurant with a small but mighty menu featuring a variety of freshly caught fish. A standout dish is the mahi fish dip—absolutely delicious and full of flavor. If you're in the area, definitely stop in for some fresh, flavorful seafood in a relaxed, scenic setting.

We have visited a few times over the years. Very happy to see them recover from Hurricane Milton of 2024. Great views of the intercostal waters. Tasty Fish Tacos and Grilled Shrimp

By far our favorite place to eat when we are visiting Cortez. Fantastic food and service! Absolutely love the atmosphere as well!

Went there on a Tuesday evening and the wait time was almost 30 minutes although the host had said it’ll take one hour. The food was delicious so the waiting was well worthy. First time trying the fried mahi mahi sandwich and it exceeded my expectations. The portion was very generous, the crust was very crunchy, the fish was very tender and flavorful. Definitely 💯 recommend it and will go back when I’m in town 😁

Slicker’s is hands down one of the best restaurants around! From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The staff goes above and beyond—attentive, friendly, and truly dedicated to making sure every guest has a great experience. The food is absolutely outstanding. Every dish is full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented—you can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they serve. The portions are generous without sacrificing quality, and the menu offers something for everyone. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or a special night out, Slicker’s delivers every time. The vibe is lively yet comfortable, making it a perfect spot for family dinners, date nights, or just catching up with friends. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. If you haven’t tried Slicker’s yet, you’re missing out. This place is a gem—I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

Slicker’s Eatery nails it every time - amazing food, creative drinks, and a vibe that keeps me coming back! Slicker’s Eatery is an absolute gem. From the moment I walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe sets the tone. Bob and the staff are attentive without hovering, and the cocktails are creative and perfectly balanced. If you're a bourbon fan, get the smoked old fashioned! My meals are always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented - you can tell they care about quality ingredients! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and lively, making it great for a night out or a casual dinner. It's also a great place to watch Bolts games!

Always surrounded with good people, good energy, and great food/drinks. the only thing better than the Gambitto is Bob Slicker himself. No kinder human around, and someone Cortez is lucky to have around. :)

Disappointed with Pricing and Quality Despite Friendly Staff We had a unique opportunity to go out on a boat and catch our own fish, and the mate mentioned that Slicker's in Cortez, FL would cook our fresh catch for $12 per person. That sounded like a great way to end the day, so we headed over. We were warmly greeted by the bartender and chose to sit at the bar. She confirmed that they do cook your catch and said it comes with two sides. We placed our orders—my partner got a bean dish and cucumber salad, and I chose mac and cheese with grilled potatoes. When the food arrived, we were surprised by the portion sizes. Each plate had three small pieces of fish, and the sides were underwhelming. My mac and cheese appeared to be Kraft (or something very similar), and the grilled potatoes were simply a baked potato sliced and lightly grilled—nothing special. The chef kindly came out to check on us, and we appreciated that personal touch. However, the real shock came when we received the bill: $34.99 per person. We asked about the pricing, since we were expecting around $12, and while the chef was very polite and professional, he explained that was the standard price and there was nothing he could do. He even offered us a round of drinks or to bring out the owner, but at that point, we just wanted to leave. We understand there may have been a miscommunication about the pricing, and perhaps the mate we spoke to was mistaken. But paying $35 per person for a meal where we brought the main ingredient ourselves—and the sides weren’t even made in-house—felt extremely disappointing and overpriced. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and we appreciate that, but unfortunately, the value just wasn’t there. We left feeling let down, especially after such a great day on the water.

We stopped in for drinks and dessert. Bobbi was immediately there to make sure we got everything we needed. We ended up getting the pretzel and beer cheese, and spicy octopus. They were so good! Then multiple drinks (different flavors!), bread pudding, key lime tart and maple bourbon ice cream! So good, and Bobbi was great! Great food, and great service. We will be back.

We have been dining at Slickers for the past few years everytime we visit the area! My favorite are the crab cakes! We love the laid back atmosphere and the friendly staff is the bonus! They have trivia too which is a nice way to spend a low key evening with good drinks and dishes! There is something fun on the menu for everyone!

Nestled away on west Cortez Road hides this quaint little eatery. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the venue was lively. They cater more to the craft drink & small plate crowd and while the food was very flavorful the portions sizes were small for the price ($5 for (5) potato slices and $14 for a Cuban sandwich 😳). They also offered vegan and vegetarian options which is nice if that’s your thing. For our preference it was probably closer to a 2 or 3 star rating but it’s not fair to them to stick them with a mediocre review based on subjectivity. Nothing specifically not great, just not our ideal spot. Looking for small plate fare, give ‘em a shot.

Stopped in for a shake after a great day at the beach! I had a medium chocolate shake and my wife had a medium strawberry shake. They were very good! So thick and creamy! Friendly service! Clean out door eating area. Clean restrooms. Highly recommended!

Diana rung me up for 2 items swiftly and with a kind smile to boot. Shake Pit has been around since the late 50s and is still kicking. Clearly a popular spot for visitors and locals alike as I ran across people from all different kinds of states. Now for the food, it was pretty good albeit a tad pricey. It’s nice to have the option to order a milkshake as drinkable and I swiftly drank my Peanut Butter and Chocolate Milkshake (classically delicious). They make them with real ice cream and it shows. The Double Cheeseburger came out with 2 fresh tomatoes, lettuce and ketchup. Just a juicy and delectable burger, not one complaint. If you’re craving a feel-good burger to pair with a shake in the shade, Shake Pit’s the spot to be. You can get more food for $15-$20 at other spots, but you can’t replace a positive atmosphere! 😁

Small restaurant that has been a staple of this town for years. They tend to be busy which may cause a little wait for your food. My partner and I love to split their oinkinhoovencluckin burger ( if I got that right) ultimately you get it all on a burger and you dont be disappointed. Pair it with one of their amazing shakes. Mostly outdoor seating, they have a patio type area but it stays pretty warm in it. Small diner counter inside.

That place offers not only great ice cream, but also some of the best burgers and fries around here! My boyfriend and I loved it so much that we came here 4 times in just six days while we stayed in Sarasota! We will definitely come back, highly recommended. PS: And the staff and service are also very nice.

After years of crushing Peanut-butter Chocolate malts, I recon it’s time we leave a review. As much as I’d like to sling 5 stars their way, I can’t do it. The first three items my wife ordered were each met with a prompt and harsh “can’t make that”. No apology, no explanation, just a teen with a seeming bad attitude. Nevertheless, we ended up with items they could make, so that’s a plus. Food and shakes all came out at different times, but they were all pretty good. It’s cash only, so be prepared. All in all, was a good evening.

We needed lunch and ice cream on Easter and thankfully they were open. We were also just visiting the area so it was a shot in the dark. The food was good, the ice cream was amazing! The restaurant had both outside covered area and inside diner style seating. It was clean and kept up. I would definitely recommend. FYI* They are cash only, but do have an ATM outside by the tables. If you want to avoid the$3.50 ATM fee bring cash but it was thoughtful to have an ATM conveniently located.

Paid $25 for a shake and a banana split.. don't get me wrong both were good but I feel like we overpaid

Finally after living here for 6 years we found delicious pizza 🍕 The next time we will get their pasta dinners. Our server Brooke was awesome!

Awesome pizza and appetizers, the crust is great and cooked perfectly. I really like the flavor of the ingredients like the olive oil in the garlic knots. I would say their spicy buffalo pizza was way more salty than it should be and it kind of dulled out the rest of the food. Their service was great, quick, and polite.

Best local pizza place, a little pricier than others but the quality more than makes up for it. Order is always right and reasonably fast for how busy they are. I have been lucky to eat at their Bradenton and Long Island locations, we may not be NY but this is about as close as it gets!

We had Michelangelo’s provide food for our son’s birthday party, and everything was fantastic! We ordered pizzas and chicken tenders — the food was hot, fresh, and a huge hit with both kids and adults. Several guests even asked where we got the food from because it was that good! The service was smooth and friendly from start to finish, and they made the whole process super easy. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be ordering from Michelangelo’s again for future events!

Our waitress, Brooke S., was so kind and made our experience great!!! She gave us a side of ranch with our spicey chicken pizza without us even asking. Place was very clean and great atmosphere. We will be back!

Friendly staff! Very clean and organized. Had pizza one time and was the best we have found in LWR so figured we would try some of their dishes. All prepared well EXCEPT the sauce. Was bright red tomato with very little deep flavor that one expects in a real Italian sauce. Sorry, was hoping would be as good as their pizza.

Our new favorite pizza place for sure! Be adventurous and try new things because you can do that at Michelangelo's! We ordered the spinach and ricotta pizza (no red sauce) and the margherita. If you enjoy stuffed mushrooms, definitely order them. They are full of flavor and the portion is generous for sharing. Beer nor wine is served, but you are welcome to BYOB. They brought us complimentary wine glasses; we tipped accordingly and recommend that as well. Our server was friendly and delightful. Looking forward to dining here again soon.

Edit: ... yesterday we've been there first time after Covid situation and we were happy to realize they are still there. A lot of things changed and thankfully some didn't - original owners as we've been told merged with somebody else, so here is the situation - the place lost personal/family touch feeling, we weren't able to eat food we ordered on the plates, they just give you food in plastic take out containers, which is very unfortunate...😟 The place now operates in the fast food style, but it would be good, if you still have option to eat from plates, when you dining inside... On another hand we are happy to say that the quality of food is still great, we enjoyed our dinner tremendously... the gentleman Chris, who was servicing us was great, very accommodating to our requests and needs... They have QR code by every table with menu, which we loved too...👍🙂😁 (2021) Ellas Greek restaurant it's our favorite Greek place... we ate in many of them from New York to Florida, but this one has no competition - from first impression of authentic Greek food, to cleanliness - you don't see places anymore as clean as this restaurant, also quality of the food is amazing, portions and prices are great and very friendly stuff and owner definitely going to have us back...!!! (2019)

Gus Rigas one of the owner chefs is all about making you welcome and pleasing your pallet. Hayley Axe was our server attendant today. Gus raved about having the best staff. We couldn't even finish our meals for the large portions. My husband enjoys a beer with his meal and tried one of a variety of Greek beers. We we're even treated to a complimentary Greek pudding. Just excellent!

If you are looking for Greek or Mediterranean food in these areas, look no further. Orders are taken by the man himself with a heavy Greek accent, subtle complaining about his weight as a result of him wanting to test everything that goes out of the kitchen. I had the dolmathes and chicken gyro sandwich. 💣 Shall be back next time I'm around here.

It’s OK.Its a small family owned Greek fast food.All is made to order.Had Gyros and they were good but no pizzazz.”Can I get you anything else my friend.” Chimed the owner.Nice welcoming touch. Young cashier seemed unattached and unenthusiastic.Food average.Pricing inexpensive.Decor with Greek music in background upbeat.Parking plentiful. Empty at height of dinner hour makes me wonder. AWARDED 1.5 YUMS ON A SCALE OF 3

My husband and I went to Ellas for dinner for the first time last night. The staff was very friendly & the owner himself took us on a "tour" of the menu. We tried two of his recommendations and we're glad we did. The food was great with nice portion sizes & very reasonable prices. I had the Pastitsio combo & my husband had the Mega meal. This place is pretty far west for us, as we live in east Bradenton, but we'll worth the extra drive.

Unbelievably good food. We went out expecting good food. Instead we had our minds blown. Everything tasted so homemade, warm, and delicious, we were not expecting it and it was a really good surprise. Will definitely recommend it to everyone I know. Service is incredible too, the chef asked repeatedly for our impressions and definitely wanted to make sure we were happy with everything. Prices are fair too, since quantities seem really generous. Honestly perfect.

Welcoming atmosphere, warm greeting from owner and staff. Large portion and reasonable prices. More than just Greek fast food, it's food that would compete with any fancy Greek restaurants. Will definitely be coming back!

We loved the upscale fast food Atmosphere. They only start cooking your meal when you order it so it's fresh and they deliver it right to your table. I had the fish and chips value meal I think they call it where you get coleslaw and fries it's strange though that it didn't include a drink but that's okay. The fish was flaky and tender and probably could have done with one piece because of how big they are. My wife the grilled chicken it's great to be able to find a fast food place serving grilled chicken now as most have done away with it now serving just the coated chicken deep fried. We will be back to try some of the other menu.

My experience was not great. The price of food I would suggest you don't get a salad. My salad was not anything to pay $10 for. There were 7 pieces of chicken, undercooked bacon, and I had to ask for more lettuce. It was a sad salad and I was very surprised. They were short and 1 worker was bagging and taking orders out. Only 1 register. It was a lot.

Food is amazing here. I love Culver's even though in my opinion I find it a little bit on the expensive side for a fast food chain but for the quality of food it's worth it. The only thing I don't like is when you put the order in through the app and it generates the estimated time that food will be ready and when I show up the food is not ready yet. I also tried to go a little bit later than what the estimated time says and I still have waited for 5-10 minutes for the food to be ready. Not a big deal just to bring it to your attention as something that will impact customer satisfaction.

The their onion rings were touted on line. Don't waste your $. They taste like the frozen ones from Publix and the onions are so skinny they're almost an afterthought to the breading. Never again will I give them my biz.

Was the best burger (mushroom and Swiss) that I've had in a very long time. It was also the best banana shake that I ever had! It's a bit pricey, but all fast food is these days and I'd rather pay an extra few dollars on something that's worth it than drop $20+ on something that's not and that I cannot even finish! Thank you Culvers!

A nice place to grab a quick bite and the staff is friendly and provide fast service. They offer burgers, fish sandwiches, and sides. Culver's is also known for their frozen custard which makes for a great treat to accompany your meal. You can use the drive-through, order inside and take it to go, or you can eat in the nicely appointed dining area. The atmosphere and finishes inside are much nicer than you expect in a quick service restaurant.

Your food is supposed to be fresh and cooked to order. Normally their food is pretty decent but I just got my burger and it is nasty, disgusting, and pretty much inedible. My burger patty is thin, burnt and overcooked to an inch of its life. The bun is smashed thin too! It looks like it was run over and it tastes like sawdust. One bite and I don't even want to eat it. Gross! I could have gotten a better burger next door at McDonald's and I hate their burgers. Now I have a meal that I have to throw in the trash. Thanks Culver's for ruining my Christmas Eve meal!

I had lunch here with an old friend, the pizza was very good and loaded with cheese and flavor. But what I really want to point out is the service, Amy took care of us, and let me tell you that girl was on fire. Super friendly and never missed a beat with us. It was a wonderful experience meeting her she is one of those people you will never forget.

I didn’t have the opportunity to visit the restaurant in person, but we order takeout and everything was absolutely delicious. Both the chicken and the pasta. We are standing. I’m confidential I visit in the future to enjoy the full experience.

I'll go just about anywhere for good pizza, so when a friend kept insisting on this place I got in my car and drove over. Plenty of parking makes it convenient. It's an old school looking pizza shop/restaurant and quite busy. And for goodness reason. Very friendly and attentive service is a huge plus and the pizza was made to order and delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and gladly recommend.

I'm was born in NY so pizza is important to me when we travel across the USA. 4 people recommended their pizza. I like the Sicilian style pizza which they make. So the wife and I gave it a shot. It's was real good. The right amount of sauce and cheese and the crisp when you bite into it was perfect. The only problem I had was the way they cut it. All different size slices. One big one then a tiny one. I know it gets busy in a good pizza place but pay attention when you cut it. My bad also, I usually ask for it not cut. I like to cut it when I get home because it keeps the cheese from running between the slices and sticking to the bottom. Again other than that great pizza. Our Saturday night dinner.

The pizza was delicious. I have been by this pizza place on a near daily basis; however, the location and exterior of the building is a bit sketchy so I always passed. I finally got the courage to stop and tried, very glad I did. The pizza is great and the service is very pleasant. I ordered for takeout and very pleasantly surprised.

Order the Sicilian pizza through DoorDash. It was not worth the money charged. The essence of a good Sicilian pizza lies in the quality of the dough and the crispy crust, which are essential elements of this iconic New York-style pizza. Unfortunately, this pizza missed the mark completely. The ingredients looked and tasted as if they were simply warmed up on pre-baked dough.👎🏿 #DoBetter

1st time here and can't say anything but great things about this hidden gem!! I got the Sicilian and hands down they over did themselves ! A++++ for this small restaurant I will definitely be returning!!!

Such a vintage vibe! First time here we are traveling from west palm for a baseball tournament. My family and i love trying new places! Loved it food was great, loves the mini fries! Sweet tea freshly made.

We were greeted by Brian at the register. He took my order and was patient being this was my first time at a Freddy’s. Brian was really a great young man. I ordered the Original steakburger meal w/ pepper jack cheese. The meal came with fries and a drink. The hamburger was fantastic, it was cooked like I like them(done but it was still really juicy) and had great flavor. The fries are the shoestring type (my favs) and man they were great tasting. Elizabeth came around and checked on us several times. She was cleaning tables and taking patrons trash. This young lady was working hard the whole time we were there. My first experience at Freddy’s was fantastic. The amount of food for the price was very good. I spent$15 for my meal and 2 drinks. Will we be going back? We are looking forward to that day.

It’s not in and out burger but it will do. Quality is fairly consistent but portion sizes inconsistent. I ordered a large fry and it was definitely not a large because it was halfway full the last time. Super disappointing. On a positive note, I love the shoe string fries and the seasoning they put on them. Burgers are good. Custard is also good. Smoky dipping sauce is the best of the sauces.

Excellent service, I picked up. Food was delicious. First time at a Freddy's. I highly recommend this place. Best patty melt I ever had. Next visit trying the ice cream, portions are large, had no room left for desert today

This is hands down one of the best fast food places! Everytime I have ordered my food a specific way (extra ketchup/mayo on my burger, extra banana in my milkshake, etc.) they deliver!! I had one gentlemen who took my order tell me he would personally make my food to make sure it wad exactly the way I wanted. I love the staff here, they make sure your food is exactly what you're looking for. Not to mention their food is amazing!! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quick bite to eat and great customer service.

Decided to finally eat at Freddy's. It's a pretty nice little restaurant. It has a very distinct "hamburger hangout" vibe to it. Like a place kids would hangout at in the 1950's, like in an Archie comic. My family and I had lunch,l which consisted of a chili cheese dog and a few double cheese steakburgers. Everything was really good. I loved the grilled bun with the dog and the shoestring fries were great to dip in the chili. Next time I go I will try one of their sundaes or a concrete mixer.

Everything was just OK except the fries, they are awful, and the prices, even more awful. I'm sure there are some that like them but the fries are like matchsticks...just as hard and just as tasteless. A burger & fries combo was $13, what you'd expect from a sit down restaurant, Add an ice cream and a kids meal and the bill was $30+ for my two kids. In my opinion, that's too much to be just OK. Culver's or Steak & Shake are better choices with more value..

Don't bother coming here any more. They reduced the amount of fries you get by way too much. $6 for this (the new regular size) is insane. Go to food and beer instead.

Five Guys is simple and good. Great burgers with as few or as many toppings as you want at no extra charge. The meat for burgers and potatoes for the fries are fresh. Milkshakes have been added to the menu, so you have that option in addition to the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine for soda, as well as ice tea. Service is fast.

I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and it was terrible. Not sure what bread they use but I think it was a stale bun. Fries were soggy and not good at all. 3rd time there and will not return. Cheap food for a pretty good penny.

Top notch quality and service! These should be on every corner in the country. My kids by me gift cards here for the holidays because it’s a staple in my outings.

ALWAYS. The first place i go to get food when i arrive in the us. It is basically the same where ever you go. Always perfect and amazingly good brugers and fries

Asked for a hot dog with works on the side…they understood the assignment! The crew at this location was on point but the manager deserves an academy award for the way he ran his shift! I have never had a complaint about five guys but this location is top notch! A well oiled machine! 5 stars indeed

got a hair in my grilled cheese and the cheeseburger came without the patties. they used to be amazing but now if i do go at least one item is wrong, this hair is the final straw😭😭

Good experience the tacos are like a good hot and fresh and a little bigger then a Taco Bell taco but not authentic

Usually not a bad place, but my last experience was sub par food wise. If you like finding Avocado skin in your guacamole then this is it. Not to mention the salsa tasted sweet...like Italian pasta sauce...it needed salt and onion desperately. Hopefully next visit is better.

Not being from the area, this came up on google and had good reviews. Not sure if it is a chain restaurant but it seems that it was. First reaction was the music was way to loud. Difficult to have conversations with the group. But besides that the food was good and very reasonably priced. I got a taco salad, my wife got the nachos. The nachos didn’t have that much chicken put on it which was a disappointment but the flavor was good. Tons of fun sauces to try as well! Overall good experience, my in-laws who are from the area said they would definitely go back.

The service was not friendly & helpful. Every question we asked we were told they didn't have a button for that so we would have to pay extra. Apparently they can no longer do substitutions. A small dip cup of salsa was $2! Not worth the negative energy or prices & the food was under cooked.

Food is good but they don’t know how to make their minds up on the strawberry lemonade one time it’s a large the next time it’s a tiny cup then a large one again now back to the tiny cup for almost $4 then when I went to open my food I had ordered extra sour cream add refried beans there was no sour cream and they put more refried beans and hardly meat

Never going here again, the past couple visits have been disappointing but I always gave them the benefit of the doubt. This time my food was absolutely disgusting. Got two burritos, one of them is supposed to be the megajuana size with double meat and cheese and one regular yet they’re both the same size. Great, what’s the point then? When picked burritos to start eating weird mysterious liquid started dripping all over container and chips. I opened them and the sight made me gag because it’s just wet soggy ingredients. I couldn’t even tell where the liquid was from.Both burritos went into the trash, waste of time and money. Had I looked at all the negative google reviews I probably would’ve stopped coming here a long time ago.

Dining room closes at 9:45pm according to the guy at the counter, Google maps says 10.. which is it? Left and did not eat.

As an lover of fast food, I frequent this Culver’s a lot and always the food has been fresh and good. However this time I order and used a coupon and the charges did not match up at all and I was charged extra by $8.49 even though on the receipt came out to zero. Additionally my butter burger was supposed to have a value basket added to it. Instead the fries and drink were added as separate items costing me extra. Inquisitive about the items on the receipt not adding up if it was a mistake I went in to ask. The young lady at the register was rather stand off-ish and didn’t give me an answer as to why the charges were the way they were. I mentioned that the coupon couldn’t have affected it since it didn’t mention anything about excluding the creation of a value basket nor why I was charged extra with the items not matching up with the total cost. Otherwise the food was good but unfortunately they put both fries upside down in my bag so they were mostly spilled around when I got home.

We came here for the first time last year and decided to go back while we were in the area again. The double burger was really good. Boiling hot and fresh with lovely flavoursome thin patties with crispy edges! It was even better than we remembered from last year. The bun was really fresh and soft and the fries were nice (nothing special but still good) Also got a concrete with their special espresso flavour of the day. Really good strong coffee flavour. The service was really good. The staff all seem very young but they are helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back again.

This has to be the cleanest and most modern Culver's anywhere. The outside is well maintained and the inside is spotless. It is such a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The food is great, living up to Culver's standards. The employees were polite and efficient. The cashier at the counter that took our order was friendly and a pleasure to talk to. We found this location because it was convenient to I-75. Easy to get here from the exit and easy to get back on too.

Would be 5 stars but since I received my food pretty cold Im disappointed, fries were soggy as well. I only come to the area a few times a year since I moved up north but every time I try to return to my favorite fast food spot it just keeps going downhill.
