    Manny getting some feels

    Total dive bar ... smokes and beer and liquor "Best of Anna Maria Island" without a doubt. Quirky bar tenders, heavy pours, bar games, and crazy locals make this place great. Just what the Dr called for!

    The outdoor bar is quaint. Drinks are cheap, but bring cash!

    A good dive bar in a great location! I sat outside during a rainstorm and listened to the rain come Down as I drank my cocktail! I'm a big fan of dive bars and this is one you need to visit!

    had so much drink with #B trivia! Highly recommend! Everyone should come here on AMI!

    The employees are horribly rude and made us feel unwelcome. The bar is clearly only for locals and tourists are not invited.

    Place has been fully rebuilt after hurricane damage. Highlights are lots of great tables with…read moreviews of sunsets over the Gulf of America and world class service by Chris who was hustling taking care of so many in the heat and doing it with a smile on his face. Nicely done! The views of the water and dolphins are amazing around sunset. Food: Decent in my most recent visit. The fish grouper tacos can be fried, grilled or blackened. The meat was huge, not just scraps like at some places but large pieces that barely fit in the taco shell. The toppings had hot peppers that overpowered the taste. The provided green sauce was also a bit spicy but comes on the side so you can apply just the right amount or none at all. At $30 this was a bit steep for tacos with a scoop of rice. My friend had grilled Red Snapper that was good. At $38 this is near the top range of filet pricing. Alcohol: I tried the "Meet Your Bahama Mama" which was nicely prepared @ $12. My friend ordered a custom drink with DOUBLE shot that was properly made but wasn't entirely finished. It was a bit more subdued vs the Mama. I tried it and couldn't tell there was two shots... $15 for the later. Water: they don't offer tap water, instead charging $2 for bottled water. One star off for this. I was finished with my cocktail early and sat the next hour with nothing to drink. Parking: free across the street in the lot on the north side. However there are numerous trailers blocking parking spots and others are labeled "compact" so when it gets busy you might need to pay at the adjacent lot. On a Tuesday in the offseason there were free spots available. The restaurant also has a large area under a tiki roof that is really beautiful with numerous TVs playing sports. This area has huge ceiling fans keeping things cooler than the tables out near the water. One star off for a super bad fly problem that occurs when your food arrives. We spent an hour waving our hands over our plates. At times there were ten flies trying to land on the food. We asked if they had the fly fans some places have, but none are available. As bad as this is why haven't they invested in some of these battery powered fans that really work well? Amazon sells battery and rechargeable versions for $6 each. Total for 2 entrees, 2 alcoholic drinks & 1 water with 20% tip: $126. Yikes! Justifies my 3 star rating. They also hit you with a 3% credit card charge. Ridiculous for a place already charging high prices. Just screams cheap nickle and diming. The current Yelp score for this restaurant is just over 2 stars. Our experience was better thanks to Chris and the amazing sunset.

    The Kokonut Hut is exactly the kind of beachside spot you hope to find on vacation. We were seated…read moreright away and scored a table at the edge of the beach. The location is hard to beat, with beautiful views of the water. We ordered the Grouper Bites and the Anna Maria salad. It was so good. The salad dressing we will skip next time and just get ranch, but otherwise, great. The staff was friendly, and attentive. We'll definitely be back.
