Great little shop for all your needs! Ordered a turkey sandwich for the beach and grabbed some drinks! Nice people! Great beach grabs.

My wife and I recently visited this general store on beautiful Anna Maria Island near Bradenton, FL and had a very pleasant experience. The store is centrally located on historic Pine Avenue on the north side of the island near the pier, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, the store includes Dips ice cream area in the front, colorful baseball-type hats and every kind of basic item you'd ever need in such a General Store, the floors are cool old-historic style wood floors, has the "feel" of an old historic general store, has a full-service deli-grill with a full array of deli items, sandwiches, yummy bakery items, granoli-type bars/crackers, beverages, etc., friendly employees, a restroom, and a big, relaxing area for sitting and eating or drinking what you buy in the store. read more

Amazing hospitality! love this place. Just down on a trip and popped in, the staff couldn't have been more friendly

I would not recommend the cheeseburger here. The hamburger patty is pretty scrawny. And the bun was burned on top. I even told the person taking my order that I didn't want my burger overcooked it burned. The patty was not but the bun was. It's an island convenience stores. Well stocked but you're paying for the convenience. read more

Enjoyed this store multiple times on our recent vacation to AMI. Bought ice daily, cases of water, bakery sweets, lunch, and so much more. Our lunch items and sweets were so good - fresh - yummy. The staff were always so helpful and friendly. Also love the Nemo Fish Tank! read more

Loved this little gem. We stopped in to take advantage of the fresh made deli sandwiches for lunch. It's like a small convenience store with a bakery and deli counter. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Sandwiches were ready in a jiffy. The also have some beer and wine, coffee and bottled and fountain sodas (self serve). We grabbed a container of frozen oj/vanilla ice cream too. Definitely worth a quick stop to grab picnic provisions for your beach day. read more

We showed up for ice cream at 7:50 ish and we were turned away. It says closes at 8 pm but the lady told us they closed at 7:45 pm she has to cleanup. They literally just served a party right before us but turned us away. Sad. We ended up at another ice cream store on the island so won't be back considering they wouldn't serve us before closing. read more

How would you like some exciting news? Well, I just discovered that there is a wonderful general store, bakery, and ice cream shop in the middle of Anna Maria Island. This store is a little foodservice niche, and I was impressed. They have a comfortable shaded patio area where you can enjoy your treats. We were on an epic bike ride when we stumbled into this place and needed to fuel up on some sugary treats. Their baked goods all looked amazing. We tried the peanut butter brownie and the pecan pie bar. On a 1 to 10 scale, these treats deserve a solid 10. We also split a chicken sandwich and wolfed it down. This was fresh homemade food and we loved it. They're located a couple of blocks from the shores of Anna Maria Island. It's certainly a worthwhile destination when you're visiting the area. Salute! read more

Delicious sandwiches on fresh baked bread with the perfect toppings or to grab and go for the beach food!!

Service is great! The guys working are super friendly. Best burger in town--I had the double cheeseburger with fries. Great beer selection as well. read more

Great selection, great service, delicious food and an adorable candy shop 12 more characters read more

Pasta salads are bland as is the queso with stale chips. Cheesecake cupcakes were meh but the cookies are good.

Great spot for your necessities while you are on Anna Maria Island. This is a mini grocery store. They have all kinds of perishable and non perishable items. They also have prepared food, desserts, and deli sandwiches that can be made to order. It is definitely an asset to have this store on this side of the island. Publix is on the way other side of the island so this is nice & convenient. read more

Great little shop on the island if you need to grab something for the beach, grab a deli sandwich or forgot a toiletry item when traveling. The prices are a bit high, but to be expected for a convenient store that carries items people may have forgotten. I also enjoyed the ice cream connected to the store - a good pairing! The ice cream shop also has fun nostalgic candy you can pick up! Visit the general store! read more

This is my go to place for lunch while on Anna Maria. All the sandwiches I have eaten were good and reasonably priced. No frills, just good food. The store does have basic necessities if needed. I mostly stick with the sandwiches read more

Second time reviewing. Went there today for breakfast and my presence felt to be an inconvenience. I was first customer at 8, if they were not prepared I would have understood being told "be right with" maybe "hi, how are you?" Not go stand over at counter and wait for someone who wasn't there to acknowledge me. I didn't even want to order or give my money to support bad behavior. Refer to previous review. Maybe they recognized me. No wonder I am only person reviewing in last year or two, lines are around block at other restaurants on pine. read more

The croissant sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is one of the best I've ever had. Had all the essentials we forgot to bring, and some amazing breakfast sandwiches cooked to order read more

Anna Maria General Store - a half eaten sandwich - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

Had what I needed, people were friendly and the devilled eggs were great. Not sure what else to say.

Everyone working here is absolutely the most friendly people we have encountered. This is our second year here and they bend over backwards to serve you from staying late to get you a sandwich ( we arrived 10 minutes to close with 4 hungry people- late travel). Kids working the ice cream bar are so nice, helpful, and professional. Vic is the owner and knows his stuff. Great place to get your supplies, lunch, ice cream. Love it. read more

I'm addicted to the sandwiches here. Oh, and the fries, definitely love the fries. It's not just the fabulous food that makes this my and my co-workers' weekly go-to, but also - and just as important - the always-friendly staff (even during the busiest times, they're still so friendly). Whether you're grabbing a quick bite to-go or eating on the spacious and comfortable deck, you can't go wrong at the Anna Maria General Store. read more

I love the sandwiches at The a general Store. We actually visit frequently. the 2 star review is for the customer service there lately. The cashier is quite rude and NOT customer service friendly. The last visit I had had it with the attitude. I asked her for the manager...after we had paid our ticket of $55 for 4 sandwiches. She called out loud for the manager as she stood there with a smirk on her face. when the manager came and I was explaining the issue, the girl stood there laughing. Then she butted in our conversation. The manager said nothing. As I was leaving, sarcastically he said across the room, "we'll be nothing but smiles around here." used to live that place. Couldn't wait to get there to get "the sandwich". Not anymore. Her attitude makes my family not want to go back. It's quite sad actually . The workers there used to be enjoyable read more

This place has everything you could ask for! A sports and ice cream shop at the front, and a grocery store and deli with great food in the back! I ordered the blackened chicken sandwich for lunch and came back for breakfast another day and ordered the omelet. Both fantastic! A cordial staff as well! Can't miss this hidden gem in the heart of Anna Maria Island. read more

Anna Maria General Store - Blackened Chicken Sandwich - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

Great spot for anything you need! Hot and fresh food made to order as well as tons of deli options. Lots of local items to take with you and try and a huge selection of ice cold drinks. The service is spot on every time and the owners take care of their customers! Perfect spot on Anna Maria Island- a must visit. read more

This places is the best alway ready on time ....fast! Quality the absolutely best and will come back again and again! Breakfast or sandwich so very tasty!!And great fry's! I live very close and couldn't be more pleased!! Thanks read more

Some people make the mistake to treat this place like a convenience mart and neglect to read the chalkboard menu. Order the food! Stuff is fantastic. Been coming here over 40 years. Love fancy restaurants & expensive meals. This is my go to as I feel I can get some expensive meals but not great food on the island. Winners are... the breakfast sandwiches. Biscuits and gravy. My son loves the pancakes. The chicken salad. The burger. Honestly, I can't speak for the whole menu. These all are great though. read more

My family and I always spend the summer and a few weekends here every year, so we are pretty much locals for half the year. Every single time we go we have a pleasant experience, the people are nice and the sandwiches are so good! These sandwiches are possibly the best I have ever had. My family always pick up these sandwiches for our boat days ever since I was a baby. We have never had a problem with anyone. I recommend buying your sandwiches her because they are so so good. This place deserves a better rating... read more

Well, it's just in case of an emergency. Otherwise, a somewhat over-the-top grocer's shop, in which one is not even greeted properly. 1 gallon of water for $ 2.59 !!! Sorry, we were there last time! read more

Good spot to get a paper, drinks, food and bait. Service can be spotty but convenient.

Great little place to grab muffin or fantastic sandwich. Supper friendly and helpful staff. Very open minded.

Stopped in for a few grocery items Nice little store but staff in deli area were not wearing masks. That worried me.

Great place to stop for a drink. Terrific caprese salad, and you need a wheelbarrow for two of their chocolate stuffed cookies. I'll be back

If you have a sweet tooth like I do; if you get in the mood for ice cream; if you need a bottle of wine or even some crazy glue, this little store is the place to go. The homemade cakes and cookies are some of the best I have ever eaten. My sister said key lime coconut cake was spectacular and the oatmeal chocolate chip "sandwich" cookie made my heart happy it was so yummy! Then, there is the ice cream--salted caramel scrumptious!!! This little store satisfies all your needs. read more

Zero stars! Came in to check it out. Decided on a piece of cake. When we were walking out the older man said, "I hope you get hit by a trolley!" What? He then said, "I am not taking anymore of this s*it". I had a child with me. I assure you we had no interaction with this employee. What a TERRIBLE representative if your company!!!! read more

Been shopping here for 10 years, now, today, all of the customers were wearing masks, yet none of the staff. When I asked the cashier to don a mask, he refused, said: 'Its not mandatory' HA! Until they don masks, I'll shop elsewhere. What a shame. Such a nice store. Most of the staff usually is so friendly, what's with this kid??? read more

Give 3 stars because our sandwiches were great but the older gentleman at the counter was caustic! Fantastic younger gentleman was pleasant and helpful. Don't mind the prices because we didn't have to leave the island. From NYC so I am used to abruptness but this was bordering on nasty. read more

Really wanted to love this cute place but, once again, crabby people (the woman who got us the muffin this time) manage to ruin what could be a nice island vibe. REALLY?? You're working in a happy little place - on an island, making people happy with muffins - and you can't smile or be pleasant? Really? Wake up, business owners: the people working for/with you should be NICE while taking people's hard earned money. read more

Super rude middle aged lady at check out. Asked a question about types of bread. Was responded to "you didn't read the sign". As a small business owner I would be appalled if my employs spoke rudely to a customer. I left there feeling shamed. I hope this was an isolated situation. read more

Great place!!! Love the people!!!! Always very friendly. Home town hospitality. Have everything you need in one small store.

I have the best cookies in the world but the attitude of the people that work there is why I couldn't give it a thought they were rude before they moved to this location that used to be a lot nicer. I'll return for the cookies but hopefully they'll change the attitude. It's in a great place in town. I'll be back next year and hopefully I can give it a five read more
