Awesome Friday or Saturday evening to have dinner, listen to great music and watch the sun set!! Food and service was great!! However, this time I was not able to get my fish blackened like I usually do. Not sure why. I have to try again next time. I think it might have been a mistake with the staff. If I can't get it blackened, I'll have to try something else. read more

Classic place at the beach in Ana Maria Island to enjoy the All you can eat pancakes. Made right in front of you and paired with pork sausages. Perfect for hungry kids and teens. And the beach is right there. read more

I came here for breakfast with my bf and it was okay. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which came with egg, sausage, and cheese on an English muffin and home fries. My bf ordered cheese grits and eggs Benedict. While he was having the eggs Benedict, he found an egg shell inside and he chose not to continue eating it. Overall, breakfast was okay. One thing that I would say is a plus is that they are located on the beach so you can eat under the pavilion area or take your breakfast to go. Service was fine. You order at the window and then they give you a number to place at the table and they bring your food out. read more

Can't beat convenience on the beach. Food, alcohol, shops, bathrooms and changing rooms. Service was good all good vibes. Beach was beautiful view too. read more

Fun atmosphere for breakfast. They have all you can eat pancakes with a beverage and 2 sausage patties for $10. You can sit with your toes in the sand and enjoy the view. read more

This is one of those places that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. This friendly beachside casual, counter service spot delivered food to the table really quickly and the grilled chicken Cesar salad or chicken wraps were really tasty. Our group also enjoyed the pretzels as an app. Perfect snack for after the beach day. read more

Delicious breakfast! I had the eggs Benedict with side of sausage and my friend had the all you can eat pancakes. We enjoyed dining on the beach. You order yourself and they bring it to your table. read more

Food- we tried the kids chicken fingers and fries (tasty and not greasy) Chicken Caesar wrap was a decent size and also good. Basic wrap with chunks of grilled chicken lettuce and cheese/dressing Chicken salad wrap was like a typical chicken salad with shredded chicken and mayo, garlic powder and lettuce- also tasty Service was friendly and ambiance was that of your typical beach cafe. Took 5-10 minutes to get our food. Prosecco tasted a bit flat and my friend didn't like the mango slushee drink (said it was too strong/not mixed well) maybe best to stick to bottled drinks here. read more

Manatee Public Beach on Anna Maria Island is my favorite spot for many reasons, but the AMI Beach Cafe is one of the top reasons. Despite being quite busy at all times, the service is fast and friendly and the food is top notch. Their fish tacos are the best I've ever had anywhere! Pro tip, buy the insulated cups on Day 1. The refills are a great deal for ocean front drinks. read more

Food is very good. We have never had anything we didn't like. We used to go on Friday nights when they had all you can eat fish fry. Wish they would bring that back read more

This review is towards the gift shop - I went in to look around and found a ring in the display box I was going to purchase, so I got in the checkout line and when it was my turn asked to be able to try it on and the gift shop attendant barely gave me the time of day and asked if she could check out the 4+ customers behind me first. I waited in line just like everyone else but because I was young I was overlooked and not helped because she assumed I wasn't going to spend any money. She also did not greet me nicely or with any customer service. Don't give them your money if you're young! They are snobby read more

A convenient beachfront dining spot right on Manatee public beach. It's order-at-the-counter style with the option for takeout (50 cents more) or dine-in (you get a number and your food is brought to you). They have lots of plastic beach chairs for dine-in and wires overhead to prevent seagulls from swooping in to steal your food. We got the grilled fish tacos and they were absolutely delicious and at a fair price for a beachfront location ($14 for two reasonably sized tacos). Our food was prepared quickly and was warm and fresh. I would definitely come back for a beach day lunch or snack! read more

Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe - Chicken Or Fish Tacos (2) - Fast Food Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

Anna Maria Island Beach Café is officially on my radar as the perfect spot to bring my mother and her friends for a relaxing beach day. Everything there is so easy. The food is right on the sand, the bathrooms are close by, and the beach is only a few steps from anything you need. They even have those little shops where you can grab sunscreen, hats, floats, or whatever you forgot in the car or at home. The whole setup feels a little like cruise-ship convenience mixed with a touch of Disney charm and the comfort of a 55-and-over community, and somehow it works. It brings the seventy-plus crowd and the grandkids together in a way that feels natural and fun. It's simple, accessible, and stress-free, which is exactly why I can see us spending a really lovely day there. read more

First time ever stumbling on this place as this isn't my usual beach spot but nonetheless it was a great find!! I will definitely be back as they have so many yummy things to eat on the menu. I was not there too long so just grabbed a drink and was not disappointed, service was great, everything was fast and extremely clean, bonus points to the tiki cafe for discounted refills when you buy the tumbler cups and/or the whole pineapple situation as you see in the pic! Always planning my next trip back to try the all you can eat pancakes!! read more

Our group stopped at the AMI beach cafe for drinks and lunch during our beach day this past week. The service T the bar counter was phenomenal. The bartenders were friendly and prompt. We all were sold on the insulated cups because of the discounted refills forever and their ability to hold ice on the 85+ degree beach for a long period of time. The food menu was typical for what you'd see at a beachside cafe, but the quality and portions were surprising. My friend and I decided to split an order of chicken tenders, sweet potato waffle fries, and the chicken cesar salad wrap. It was entirely too much food! All of it was delicious, though. The waffle fries would've been a little crispier, but they tasted great. The chicken tenders came with at least 6 piled high on top of regular fries that unfortunately lacked salt and were a little squishy. The chicken cesar salad wrap was served warm, packed full of chicken, cheese, lettuce, and cesar dressing. We're looking forward to future visits to this cafe! read more

Ambiance: The area is not well organized. Bar structure is a free-standing tiki type structure with NO seating or shade around the perimeter. Patrons are standing in a long line in the heat! Solution: Double the size of the structure, w/ tiki style exterior/shade and add 20 bar stools along the perimeter of the bar, preferably with backs on the stools. Benefits: Increased comfort due to seating and shade. Most importantly, increased revenue due to COVERED Bar seating! read more

Sunday morning breakfast, 2 people, $40. Nothing homemade. Corned beef hash from a can, chicken fried steak prepackaged, grits with no seasoning. Disappointing. We paid to eat mediocre food at the beach. Maybe the all you can eat pancakes or the sweet options are better. And maybe this is better as an afternoon spot to grab a beer and food. But we won't be back or recommend. read more

Excellent food, staff and location. Loved breakfast here. Just perfect for lazy beach day. Shop staff really nice ladies read more

Very bad seating. Lunch doesn't start until noon. Expensive! Paid $25.00 for a drink and 2 mediocre biscuit and gravy plates. Manager would not give us our money back or come speak with us. Would not recommend and my family will never spend a dime here again. read more

The food & service was fabulous! The only drawback was all the bees, but, I realize that bees in the area are a good thing, so I'm not even mad about it, just dropped a star and wanted to let ppl know, in case they have allergies to bees, in which case this is not a great option. I'll say again, tho, the food was REALLY good and I'll definitely be back! EDITED to say "I love when business owners write back!" And, I was a tool for docking a star on account of BEES!‍ read more

Anna maria island beach cafe: right on the beach, small tiki bar, food options (seafood- burgers, salads, and sandwiches), and ice cream. order a beer, or cocktail, or enjoy the stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico while you eat. When you visit Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe, you'll feel like you're in paradise. If you're looking for a fun place to spend the day, Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe is the perfect spot. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is laid-back. Sit at a table on the beach, wiggling your toes in the sand while sipping a rum runner. Daily entertainment starts at 5:30 PM we ordered fish and chips, and beer (see the sea, sand & sun with beer in hand). spent around 60-70 minutes while the sun was about to set, we left to see the sunset from Rod & Reel Pier. time well spent... Parking: Municipal Parking, It is free but gets full easily, so wait in one lane for 10-15 minutes, and you can grab a spot read more

We stopped by Anna Maria Beach Café for breakfast as it's close to our hotel. The portions are generous, and the kids loved the unlimited pancakes, that was definitely a win. That said, the food overall reminded us of an IHOP-style diner: nothing bad, just pretty standard. If you're looking for a quick, family-friendly meal with a beach view, it does the job but don't expect anything memorable. read more

Food- kids meal only brings half a sandwich and fries were cold. Service awful- no hello no thank you (even after tipping) Ambiance- beach vibes. Downfall birds will attack you for your food. Oh well, we tried it! Biggest thing to work on is customer service. Maybe better quality food especially for the beach prices. The best part is the view, who doesn't love the ocean! I would stop here as last resort. read more

We have been going to Manatee Beach Cafe for many years We always recommend it to people who are visiting Bradenton and the beaches. We won't be going anymore. We will not be advising anyone to go there anymore for the reason Every time we go there's a man right in front obstructing the view with a huge Trump's signs I do believe nobody wants to have politics thrown in their face and ruin the few and the atmosphere for everyone. No matter what your position is on politics. We all go there to relax, not be controversial If he can put up that sign everyday, maybe we can all put up our real estate signs or our businesses or what we believe. Pretty soon we'll have a whole Beach full of advertisements and self-promotions. It's really sad and I've heard many people visiting out there. Wondering why? Why is that allowed? We will miss you as we have enjoyed breakfast, lunches and dinners and just cocktails out there for many years. But I'm sick and tired of looking at that huge sign and I think probably many others are too read more

Anna Maria Beach Cafe is on Holmes Beach. They serve breakfast and lunch daily. Breakfast is from opening until 11pm during the week and until noon on weekends. They advertise the All You Can Eat Pancakes. I have never tried it but people say it's good. You can't beat grabbing a bite and eating it at their tables or taking it to your chairs at water's edge. There is a window with the menu above where you order. We have had the fish & chips with fries, grilled fish salad and a burger. All have been good. I really like their grilled fish with a blackened seasoning. Prices are higher than in town but are to be expected getting to eat right on the beach. And you can't beat the ambiance! I recommend and will definitely be back! read more

My family and I are spending some time in the beautiful Anna Maria Island, Florida weather while kids are doing their distance learning. The first house we stayed in was very close to Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe, which sits on the public Manatee Beach. We headed that way for breakfast our first morning on the island. Orders are placed at a window and a number given to place on any of the well-spaced out tables in the sand. The food comes quickly and is surprisingly good! So good we had lunch at the same spot later that same day. For lunch, I ordered the Island Wrap with blackened chicken ($7.99). The wrap was packed with delicious blackened chicken and the chutney added some sweetness to compliment the spicy seasoning. I also ordered onion rings ($6.99) which seemed a little pricey upon ordering, but the serving size was so generous that it was enough for our entire family! We also had carryout one other afternoon last week. This time I had a solid chicken salad wrap ($7.99) and sweet potato fries ($7.99). Again the serving of sweet potato fries was huge. These fries were more like curly chips, thinly spiral sliced potatoes. I didn't like these as much as the onion rings, but the marshmallow dipping sauce was interesting. My wife liked the blackened fish tacos ($9.99) so much she ordered them both times. The kids were huge fans of the grilled cheese ($4.99) with fruit or fries. Overall the food was good, the service was fast, and their outdoor dining space is very nice! read more

This beach bar is exactly what you'd expect. Casual atmosphere with tons of outdoor seating. You order from a window, find a table, and they bring your food out to you. You can go order drinks from their outdoor bar while you wait for your food. They had a DJ playing music and people were dancing, which was funny to watch. The DJ made everyone stand up and watch the sunset as he sang a patriotic song, which was comical. The food is your typical average beach concession stand food. The fries were boring and plain but the fish was surprisingly tasty. The portions were large and the food arrived pretty quickly. The staff was very friendly and they were following covid guidelines. They were clearing plates and constantly cleaning. Overall, it's a nice spot to enjoy the sunset and have dinner but don't expect anything special with the food. read more
