What a beautiful beach! We drove all the way to Bean Point Beach and stopped in here on the way back home, what a nice surprise! They have a nice little playground for the kids and have a few volleyball courts set up, which are close to the showers and enclosed changing stations. The sand is perfect and doesn't contain all the shells like Lido Beach does. We were very impressed!

A great place for a fun beach day. There's tons of beach space, even some under trees for maximum shade. That area also has picnic tables and grills. The parking fills up pretty fast so you should arrive no later than 10 for a good spot. The water was clean and clear and the sand was nice and white with some spots filled with shells.

Wonderful beach, water incredibly clear and warm, sugar white sand, showers and changing rooms for visitors. There are no public restrooms but instead they set 3 or 4 porta potties near the parking lot. Gross… The restaurant at the Beach is handy if you don’t want to leave the area for lunch, but the food wasn’t good. Our Philly steaks came burned and the fries soggy. The playground is adorable and has lots of swings for the little ones. They also have volleyball nets. The natural beauty of the area is worth the visit.

WORTH THE DRIVE! Our favorite Florida beach! Better than anywhere along St. Pete or Clearwater. We swam for two hours and had lunch at the cafe. We had beef & chicken tacos, burgers, and the fish & chips and loved it all.

A little crowded but super clean in comparison. Soft sands and good energy. We spent a few hours there and had a lot of fun!

One of the best beaches in the region, with very close restrooms, changing rooms, wide parking and restaurant. The sand and the water are perfect.

Great little beer hut! Not siesta key that I am use too, but friendly people and clean beach. Bathrooms, drinks and food is all assessible.

The ambiance, food and drinks were absolutely amazing! Maddy our server was on point with all recommendations made from drinks to the food! She was warm and friendly! Watching the sunset was just breathtaking!

Fun & casual place to eat or drink and have a wonderful beach view. Pet friendly as I brought Lucy & Ethel in their stroller. Building looks like a large tiki hut, open air. Lots of TVs to watch any game. Very friendly staff. Nice beer options.

The views and drinks are AMAZING!!! The food is just okay... I ordered the chorizo egg meal, it was mid... The Miami Vice was sooo good!!! I used to order a seafood omelet tea and I didn't see it on the menu..

The atmosphere was just awesome, and Mike, our server, made everything feel so homey. After the updates to the location, the whole place feels even more warm and inviting.

Awesome place !! The view was beautiful!! Right on the ocean!! Fabulous food , service was great !! Great server !! We will be back again!!

very disappointing. It’s hard to ruin breakfast on the beach on a beautiful day but Gulf Drive Cafe managed to succeed in that task. Allow me to start by saying that they don’t offer water at a restaurant on the beach without having to pay? diabolical. I got a cup of ice instead of being charged for another drink and she still tried to charge me for water on my bill. in addition to that, their food was extremely over priced. Which for a touristy area, that is understandable. However with those prices it should at least be good food. In our party of 12, only one person was satisfied with the taste of their food and she got a salad so i shouldn’t go this whole review without applauding them for putting lettuce in a bowl. My biscuit was raw on the inside (which was also recommended as one of the better side options by the staff member). My friend ordered pancakes and even after multiple requests (and 30 minutes) she didn’t bring syrup so she ate her pancake dry and then was given syrup when she finished her whole meal (this was also after a very long wait for all of our coffee and food). I can give two stars for the location and atmosphere but there are plenty of other better options you can go to on the water!

The crab cakes are awesome. Cailyn was awesome and attentive. I loved being able to enjoy the beach and the gulf without actually having to venture out onto sand at any point.

Come for the views and drinks — but skip the food. I’ve visited a few times now, and unfortunately, the food has consistently been a letdown. On this visit, my shrimp bowl arrived cold and lacked flavor. Several others in our party ordered various fish dishes, and most were barely touched — overcooked, dry, and underwhelming overall. On the plus side, our server was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were solid. The standout was the appetizer: the ahi tuna nachos. They were fresh, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. If you're stopping by for the atmosphere and cocktails, you’ll enjoy yourself — just don’t set high expectations for the food.

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.

Great lunch! Great service. We can’t resist grouper so that’s what we ordered but there are a lot of other things we’d like to try. Sat on the beach but might sit on the deck where there are still a few fans if there’s no breeze next time.

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 ate here late afternoon and sat on the outdoor patio. It was quite quiet so we had our pick of tables. Initially we looked at the menu and thought the prices seemed a little expensive. But when the food came we realized that the portions were very substantial and the food was great quality and very tasty. You get what you pay for! I had the blackened grouper tacos and my friend the garden salad with salmon. Great for beachfront dining! Use the valet. Parking is expensive if you don’t!

My wife and I went to dinner here last night, and it was top-notch. We are staying in Anna Maria to celebrate our honeymoon and had the best time! They even brought out our dessert with a special message!

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

It is said that the east coast of Florida sees the sunrise and the west coast of the sunset. It’s really beautiful. Although there are some clouds today. The sand here is very thick, and the shells are broken a lot. The parking fee is ten dollars per hour. It‘s quite expensive.

Tony and I shared our "Last Day" at the Beach at Cortez Beach on Anna Maria Island. The waves were very high today and strong. Much stronger than rest of week! The sand was wet like "Sand Castle making" feel to it! The water was clear but there was a lot of seaweed rolling in! We had a nice 2.5 hrs Going to miss this area but we Def have a new place to venture too! Cortez has lifeguards no drinking no pets no smoking rules it also hasno bathrooms no showers or changing rooms! But it does have free parking! Lots of shells!

Cortez Beach is absolutely beautiful—clean, peaceful, and a great spot to enjoy the ocean. The water and sand were gorgeous, and the overall atmosphere made for a relaxing day. The only downside was the parking, which was a bit expensive. Other than that, it’s a wonderful beach to visit and worth the trip!

Nice beach the piers are great for fishing while the kids are in the water it's not as crowded as Coquina you do have to go further down for showeres or bathrooms but you won't get stuck in traffic as bad park is ok depending on the day but most of the time I go it's not crowded

Beautiful water!! Beach is small. Nice piers, for fishing off, or jumping. Barnacles and other sea life live underneath. Tiny sea snails, pencil fish, and crabs!’ You can catch so many. I had a great experience at this beach. We had to drive down to another to use showers and restrooms though.

My family's favorite beach: a peaceful and tranquil place, with a beautiful alley of pine trees planted along the shore providing shade on hot days. Convenient parking and accessible spots for rinsing your feet before getting into the car

Beautiful waters and not over crowded!!

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.

Food was good. Server behind the bar was rude, not welcoming and seemed agravated. We ate outside and left quick. It wasnt that busy and we got a seemed put out of her way vibe. Tacos were tasty and fresh, salsa and quac. excellent.Outdoor seating was the norm, nothing real fansy. Could have used a little bit of decorating. The price was high for apps.

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 !

Absolutely Amazing Experience! I absolutely love this place! The ambiance is perfect, sitting outside with a view of the ocean, watching people ride by on bicycles, walking with their beach gear, laughing and chatting. You can choose to sit under a shady umbrella or bask in the sun. The food is always fresh and delicious, no matter if I’m enjoying breakfast or dinner. It never takes long to arrive, and the quality is consistently top-notch. The service is fantastic: I’ve never had to wait, and the staff make you feel like family. It’s so refreshing to visit a place where guests are treated like friends. Can’t wait to come back!

3 of us came here to grab a light lunch on the beach. They have a really nice setup with alot of tables under a pavilion and umbrellas to give you nice shade. We ordered just a bunch of appetizers to eat. The coconut shrimp, grouper bites, chips and dip, and calamari. I have to say all was cooked excellent and really nice sized portions. You could tell the seafood was fresh and I highly recommend the grouper bites. The service was fast and enjoyable. After you can walk some of the most beautiful beaches in the gulf or check out Anna Marie Island. They do have a giant selection of specialty drinks and beers as well

My sister and I have been going here for years.And the quality of the food has gone downhill. All 3 of us ordered the beer, battered fish and chips it is not beer battered it came with a flour slurry. they came looking like some fish fingers off of a child's menu.The fish was overcooked like eating jerky and so greasy i had to use all the napkins to sop up the greese. None of our dishes came on the same shape of plate, nor did they come with the same portion sizes. You cannot get a glass of water which I believe is illegal in florida. Legally they have to give you a glass of water however at this restaurant they make you pay for a cheap walmart brand bottle of water the same price as you would a soda. Now I have to say our server was Great He did go ask as many questions as were needed and when we needed the manager, he did actually go get the manager. I gave service, only three stars because the manager did not stand up to a level above that. The manager came to the table and apologized for the fish and said once he saw it, come back, they switched the fish for the weekend. They did send out 1 plate of the better fish however it was after waiting a good 45min. The manager said he would send a desert to make up for it. I'm sorry, sir.I have been in the service industry for many years and a dessert does not make up for somebody's dinner. This restaurant has been removed from our list of places to eat. Yes, they have a great view to watch the sunset and have dinner.But folks, there are a lot of places on the island you can see the same sunset from a place that serves good food, gives you water and cares to actually take care of somebody's meal properly rather than offering a dessert to make up for it. In the picture you can see the top piece is the first fish stick the bottom it the new fish sent out

We went with friends, and I can tell you that the food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was phenomenal. The waitress who served us was always attentive to our needs. If you want a place near the sea to eat and also enjoy a sunset, I definitely recommend it.

Nice location right on the beach, but I should have listened to the other reviews. Plus it being pretty much empty on a Friday night should have told me that maybe it’s not the best restaurant. This is a photo of my $25 fish and chip meal. It looks more like a kids meal. Each can of soda was $4. The only water they have is bottled water for $2 a bottle. For five people after 20% tip, our bill was $160 that included one kids meal, two fish and chips, one burger, and one chicken sandwich. I don’t have a problem paying money for a good meal, but the food was definitely not worth the price. When I arrived, I let the hostess know it would be five people and asked for a kids menu. With attitude she snapped back that ‘kids menus are for 12 and under’. As my 12-year-old stood right next to me. Our waitress was extremely nice. That is the only thing we got lucky with at this restaurant. You also cannot split a tab. I would never recommend this restaurant.

I got the chicken sandwich and fries. But way to expensive!! Lower the price and it would be way better! Lemonade is ok. I think the view is the best part of it. Wasn't crowded didn't have to wait. They also have one single stall for the bathroom. I just had to wash my hands. Maybe u guys can make just a separate sink for that?

Stopped to have a bite to eat and had a salad which was very delicious with apples, candied walnuts, chicken, etc. Very good. Right at the beach, that's why the salad was 22 bucks... Attentive and friendly service. Easy parking too. Highly recommended.

The facilities, views, and service are excellent. The food and cocktails are delicious, though the prices are a bit on the higher side. Still, the overall experience is absolutely worth it—live music, the beach, the sea. I love this place, and we’ll definitely come back whenever we can.

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!

I’ve been to the beach café three times since I’ve been here for the week and it was great. I loved having close access to bathrooms from the beach. Great service. The chair and umbrella guy brings your stuff to your spot and sets it up for you. I wasn’t impressed with the food besides the fish and chips, which are pollock, and the all you can eat pancakes. Very tasty. I also had a delicious mimosa and “lava flow” beverage made with rum. And came with a refillable cup at a discounted price.

I loved it! Very clean, very good atmosphere, and the service was great! We had a margarita pizza and a plain cheese! It was delicious too. I also had a lemonade. I highly recommend!! 🤍

This is a great local restaurant down to Mid-town in Anna Maria Island. We ordered pizza( newyork style) , alfredo fettuccine, and salads. The cheese on pasta was fresh. The pizza was decent. The best of all was Minestrone soup. The veggies, beans, and pasta in the soup were delicious. Would definitely visit when we are in town next.

What a great dining experience! Kendy was our server and she was on top of it. Prices are in line with the portion size. We have lots of leftovers! Restaurant was nice and quiet. Friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

After a 9 hour drive to AMI, we decided first nights dinner would be pizza. We called our order in, picked it up, and thoroughly enjoyed the white pizza, a cheese pizza, and a caprese salad. Delicious!

Oma's will always be a staple on our visits to the island. Their Calzone is delicious and easily feeds 3 people. I will say, read the menu thoroughly as the antipasta salad was not what we expected BUT that was our fault, not theirs.

Sad to say, it’s taken us this long to visit this Bradenton Beach landmark. Kind of a dreary Saturday night weather wise but that didn’t stop this place from being packed. The staff was friendly and efficient and got us right in to be seated. Pizza toppings were fresh, the pie was hot and flavorful. It’s was outstanding. While we scored with a great spot, the parking situation is a little limiting. Having said that, persevere if you can’t find a spot and walk a little if you have to; their pizza is worth it. If you are visiting on vacation, make sure this place makes it on the list to eat at.

We split an order of Lasagna and a Calzone which were both good. I liked the Lasagna best as I thought the Calzone could have used some more sausage. Our waiter was great and was very helpful...the downside was having to hear another waitress bickering and complaining about every little thing going on...customers don't want to hear that.

Hands down the best restaurant on AMI or LBK! Foodies go to the doctor!! From the ambiance, the service & of course the food, the drinks, clean crisp linens - all off the charts!! A touch of New Orleans blended with the coast! A truly unique experience. We ate on the DR side (there's a bar side too) and were welcomed w/friendly staff and warm ambiance. As we sat down, we were given a medicine shot :) of a delicious concoction of fresh fruit juices & vodka served in vintage tea cups! Fun and quirky - love! We had a pain killer and the pineapple martini - very delicious! Started with the lobsterescargot and the smoked salmon. Both dishes were served with fresh bread baked on the premises. Outstanding! For our entrees, we both had the grouper and it was best grouper dish we have ever had! Beautifully prepared, seared to perfection, accompanied with asparagus and mashed potatoes, perfectly seasoned - truly perfection! For desert, we shared the Praline Alexander - a softball size serving of the best vanilla bean ice-cream Ive ever tasted, surrounded in crushed praline, topped with whipped cream n sliced almonds in Frangelica. Superb! My hubby ordered an after dinner drink & gave the bartender creative freedom to concoct a drink with rum and coffee. Never expecting a cold drink with infused smoked cinnamon, smoked dried orange slice, served with a proper craft drink ice cube. Cannot say enough about The Doctors Office! A treasure on AMI. Cant wait to go back!

Erin was amazing! Had a great sangria, pineapple martini, and sundowner. The Lobstercargots are a MUST. Great music/ atmosphere. We were also greater with a fun free shot. Just what the Doctor ordered!

Visited here for the first time this past weekend and it was amazing. The drinks were delicious but our server was OUTSTANDING. She was hilarious and attentive. I wish I remembered her name but she was amazing. It’s a small bar but I loved that, it’s very intimate.

We stopped by the Doctor's Office on date night while on vacation just for one drink. We were greeting by the bartender with a "wellness shot" of a little sample drink. The Drinks we ordered were beautiful and tastey! The bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. The atmosphere was fun and fancy. Perfect place to start off our date night. I forgot to get the picture until we were half way through the drinks. I should also note that the drinks are expensive. Be ready to spend some money. Gratuity is included in the bill.

The food was exquisite and truly some of the best I've eaten in Sarasota/Bradenton/Anna Maria island. Michelle, the server, was excellent. Very helpful, friendly and provided excellent customer service-truly a gem. Can not recommend Drs Office highly enough.

Cool vibe, super friendly staff, creative and tasty cocktails. I did not eat, just stopped in for a quick checkup. Looking forward to my follow up.

We were a group of six for a bachelorette party dinner, and they seated us in the garden, which was absolutely adorable. The food and drinks were delicious, and our server, Sid, was incredibly attentive and provided excellent service.
