Not sure why this place gets so much hate. I didn't experience that. Their food and their service was very solid. The place is cool inside with a ton of TV's. It was always pretty busy anytime we passed by. Sometimes it was very busy. I would definitely return next time I'm down there read more

We got a takeout for New Year's Eve and we know they were slammed with orders but the food was really lackluster. Their garlic Parmesan wings were one of the most under seasoned wings I've ever had. The Cuban was pretty good sandwich, but their chicken tenders were straight from a frozen bag. This also being such an Eagles joint did not win us any additional points either. read more

They said the kitchen is open until 930 but they would not see us for food at 8:30 Pm There was no excuse as to why they wouldn't let us eat. read more

Went here for dinner with the expectation to watch the All Star game. The wait staff was rude and did not acknowledge our presence for a good 15 minutes and we actually had to flag someone to give us menus and glasses of water. The food was awful when it arrived. Green beans that were not cooked (raw). One set of silverware for two people. Had to again flag someone to ask for another set. Had one beer and they never came back to offer another or check on the food. Fish tacos were scant and cold. Tater tot's were good, I will give them that. Just completely rude staff who acted like they wished we weren't there. There's no excuse for that, even if shorthanded. Will never return. Didn't see the all star game there, needless to say. read more

The food was top notch and service was friendly. The homemade white cheddar cheese whiz topped this sandwich off nicely. We look forward to coming back and trying more items off of the menu. read more

Slim's Place - The coolest hat ever - Sports Bars Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

My family is from PhilAdelphi's PA and Slims Place was highly recommended by my friends. We arrived at Slims only to be greeted by Taylor, the bartender, in a rude manner. She questioned our Philly roots, out cheesesteak and beer selections, how long we were going to be there, and when we were leaving. All with an attitude. She seemed not to like us because we were tourists and occupying seats of her regular patrons. At one point Taylor was so rude to us my fiancé and her daughter left the restaurant to go shopping. Our trip was great except for this experience. We don't recommend visiting Slims Place to tourists and we will not be going back. The owmer was very nice and friendly, however. And the cheesesteaks were very good but I've had better. Jasson from Philadelphia read more

I called Slim's to place a to-go food order. A female answered the phone and said "I'll be back with you in 1 second" 8 minutes later the phone went dead. I attempted to recall them seven times before I finally drove there and placed my order in person. When greeted by the two female staff employees neither one wanted to admit that they were the ones that put me on hold. Instead they became arrogant and Emily made a smart remark about there's only two of us. We want you to dine in. In my opinion Emily and Taylor both need to have a lesson in customer service. I would be surprised if PJ the owner believes this is a good approach to someone trying to give them business. Nonetheless as long as those two are employed there I will not spend another dollar in this establishment. If you read their description of their Sunday dinner it's supposed to come with meatballs sausage and plenty of gravy sauce as they call it. I will attach a picture it actually came with four slices of sausage and no meatballs! What a joke! read more

The staff is just plain rude, and a quite a bit on the trashy side. Apparently that's the vibe they seem to want, so the place overall is not up to par for other restaurants and bars on the island. What else do you expect from the city of brotherly shove? Just about anywhere else is hospitable and understand that they are in the service industry. read more

This was my first time stopping by Slim's Place, and I'll definitely be back I ordered the Philly Special with tots, and it was honestly the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had! The steak was perfectly cooked, the toppings were loaded, and the tots were crispy and delicious I paired it with an unsweet iced tea with a splash of Sprite, which was so refreshing with the meal. The service was just as great as the food. Sheri was fantastic--super friendly, attentive, and clearly someone who genuinely cares about the people she's serving. You can tell she works hard and takes pride in making sure customers have a great experience. Her smile alone can instantly brighten anyone's day and make you feel glad you came in Great food, great atmosphere, and great people. Highly recommend stopping by Slim's Place if you're in the area read more

Slim's Place - Philly Special with tots. Unsweetened Ice Tea with a splash of Sprite. - Sports Bars Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

Service is god awful. The staff should spend less time catering to the locals/regulars and concentrate more on their job. Their efficiency will improve and their customer service scores will go up. read more

Recently ate at Slim's Place, and while everyone ordered Philly cheese Steak hoagy's I opted for a large Caesar salad. It was hand's down the best Caesar I've ever had!!!!! I would love to know what kind of dressing because it was outside... Kudos to Slim's!!!! read more

We stopped at Slim's Place for a taste of home after a beautiful walk on Bean Point Beach on Anna Maria Island. It's a perfect spot to pop in and watch the Phillies game. It's a low key spot with plenty of bar seats, televisions, and of Philadelphia sports decor. We did a few cheesesteaks, naturally, and a blueberry beer. Waitresses were friendly, too! read more

We must come here for a cheesesteak every time on the island. They use the same rolls they do in Phillie so this is the real deal. Fun place to catch sports as well. We love it! read more

Nice sports bar. Did not like the burger, it simply was not cooked. Had takeout. Would be willing to go back and try something else, just didn't have the opportunity. read more

This was our first time at slims after being on the island every year for the last few years. Slims is a restaurant/bar on the north side of the island that carries a pretty wide menu. To give you an idea, we ordered cheesesteaks, pizzas, pasta, Philly pretzels, grouper tacos and mac n cheese. So much more on the menu too. We walked in and while it was busy, only waited about 20 mins for a big table. (Party of 7) Unfortunately that was the shortest wait. After about 15 mins i got up and asked for menus as we had not been given any yet. After that, took us about 15 mins to get Our drink orders in. Then another 15-20 to get our food order in. I know it was busy but we did see other tables around us getting their food and they ordered after us. As the food slowly came out, there really wasn't anything that was bad. The Philly's were delicious. Steak shredded well, lots of cheese, flavor throughout and the bread held well. Mac n cheese was extra creamy. My kids devoured it! Pretzel was delicious. Hot, crispy on the outside while being soft on the inside. Great cheese to dip. Grouper tacos had lots of flavor and fresh ingredients. Pizza was a little doughy, but overall, very good as well. Loved the local beers they had on tap. With the exception of the fact that it took us nearly 2 hours for dinner, slims gets my vote of approval. Just don't go if you need a quick meal! read more

Food not good. Burger was gross. Barely ate 1/4 of it. My son ordered lobster Mac. He ate 2 bites. I would avoid this establishment.

Stayed next to there and bought beer from them for the pool and food multiple days. Needed carryout one evening for carryout and bartender said they were too busy for carryout. I suggest going somewhere else. read more

The place itself was a cool vibe. Took us a while to get service at the bar. We got our drinks and asked to cash out cause nobody checked on us. When asking for the bill, the blonde bartender was extremely rude. read more

Quite possibly the best Cheesesteak outside of Philly! Wandered into this bar unknowing that it was an Eagles bar, so felt right at home. My friends and family had the Cheesesteak, Philly tots, Thai tuna tacos, Pizza and Wings. Everything was delicious! Chef Jason is a master! We even came back another night because the food was so good! The beer was ice cold and the waitstaff incredible. I felt like we were being helped by 3 servers to make sure we were taken care of. Will definitely return on our next Anna Maria visit. Go Birds! read more

We arrived at opening to watch the college football game NE vs IA. Little to no service the moment we sat down. But we had a group of 9 who drank and some ate . We were let known our table was reserved for the eagles game during the end of the third quarter of the game we came to watch . Server came and told up to basically finish up and leave. We'd all still planed to finish the game and order food but felt like we were kicked out , really sad Slim's Place. No one mentioned the tables reserved when we came in , and no one came back to our table after . Would not recommend Slim's Place unless you are an Eagles fan , clearly that's all they serve read more

Noticed some negative reviews and I gotta say we disagree! This is a sports bar folks. Lots of tvs, a simple ask and staff will change to your favorite game. Pork sliders, wedge salad and tater tots spot on. Every wait staff that came to our table was friendly. Cold beer for my hubby and wine served in a glass not a plastic cup! We shall return! read more

Great upbeat service, great environment for eating and sports. I got a Philly special and was disappointed.. dry. For a place so loving Philadelphia, I expected more having had a ton of Philly cheesesteaks in my life... but I'd go back and order something else or add more cheese!!! lol.... read more

Really upsetting. We sat down, ordered drinks and appetizers and waited for everything. Our drinks were brought out while we waited and then after a long wait (30 minutes) we were told the computer system and printer were down and that the kitchen couldn't take any orders. We had hungry children, and upon expressing our disappointment with not being told that food would not come out earlier, we were rudely told to leave and "never come back." The most shocking part was that they gave us a bill for our drinks. We were confused how the printers were broken, but they could still print a bill for us. What a disappointment. read more

My gut told me to walk away when I looked in the front door. Maybe three regulars sitting at the bar and owner sitting off to the side of them. Silly Philly idea. The "Philly" pretzel supposedly is all the way from Philly but you can buy it any dollar store across the country. Pizza came out barely warm, cheese not even melted. Spent a week in AMI and this was, by far, the worst place. It's easy to miss and if you do notice it, I'd recommend to keep on walking. read more

We stopped in for dinner. Noticed the kitchen staff prepping food and vaping, exhaling on the food. Called and supposedly spoke with the "owner". He was rude and said "if your that much of a pu$&@ you don't belong on the island". WOW!!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE AND QUALITY. STAY AWAY!!! The blonde bar tender was rude as well. read more

I was here for dinner yesterday- classic bar food! I got the chicken tacos and they were LOADED! Great service, great food, great time!

Had very bad service tonight, the waiter didn't pay attention to our party. And the food was overpriced for the taste. Our server was also behind the bar shot gunning beer and taking shot while we were waiting for service throughout our stay. read more

Went there to watch a game while on the island. Sat down at the bar for 20 minutes and nobody acknowledged us. I would check out the Freckled Finn if you want good service! Would not return to slims. read more

My family and I tried to dine at Slim's on Thursday, 03/20. They were really busy and we didn't mind waiting. The woman (didn't get her name) that was taking names for the waiting list was very rude to not only our party but another person who was trying to put their name on it. She misheard the name that the gentleman said and he gave her the correct name and giggled. She got mad and said 'how the f am I supposed to know? I don't know you.' We also ordered a pitcher of beer while we were waiting and when we decided not to dine there after she was rude to the other person, someone in my party put their glass on the bar and the same person snapped at him for doing it and was very sarcastic. Very disappointed in our experience this time. We always try to go there as we love the wings but this one person changed our mind. read more

The absolute best Philly Cheese Steaks in the state of Florida. This place is an absolute must! We plan beach days around Slims Place

Great place for a few beers & appetizers. Bartenders were great. If you're not a Philly fan don't go in. I am Boston fan & had a lot of fun with the Philly locals read more

Awful. We waited 30 min after ordering drinks and apps to find out the computer was down so an order could be put in and then the cherry on top is that we were given a bill for a drinks. The computer must have been fine to deliver a bill. read more

Total low key, family owned, casual beach bar and restaurant. My friends enjoyed the food, I just had . Our bartender "Taylor" was great. She is the perfect bartender; if you want to chat... she is there for you. If your looking for quiet, she leaves you alone but still refreshes your drink. read more

Had us waiting for almost an hour for food and then the waitress tells us the computers are down so we can't get food. Yet we got our drink bill. Everyone was rude and didn't seem to care. read more

Food is amazing and the atmosphere is that typical fun sports bar. The servers are attentive and service is on point. They have a Philly cheesesteak with the cheese wiz and it's perfect, as well as their huge lobster Mac n cheese portions. You can go from seafood to bar here and they all do it well. Beers are a great price and they always have daily deals. It's a good staple for Anna Maria so watch a game and enjoy. There's a cute little picture you can take right outside of it - my kids enjoyed. Can I mention also they have the TALL HIGHCHAIRS so you can all fit and not feel like you're struggling at any table. read more

Slim's Place - Sports Bars Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

We came here one time and the service was nice, so we came back another time,but we noticed a different staff; they were so rude and unfriendly. we think the owner was there because everyone that came he was greeting, but we noticed that the locals he was super friendly with and the visitor he was not so friendly and a bit rude. we won't be back here again. The one positive thing that they had was that the beer was super cold. read more

I was born and raised in Philly. After college (42 years ago) I was off to see the world, curtesy of the US Army. The cheesesteak was FANTASTIC! The best I've had in several decades. I try them (Philly Cheesesteaks) wherever I go. I suspect that the Amoroso role played a part in that. The staff and service was great. We had a nice time. I will go back again. The Philly memorabilia was a nice touch. read more

Great Philly sports bar in the heart of Anna Maria! Food is awesome and so are the servers!

I have mixed feelings about this place. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a couple Philly specials and it was the best we have ever had. The bread was top notch and went well with the filling. GET THE PHILLY! We also got the Italian hoagie which was also very good. Sides we had were tots, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. All good! I really liked the Mac and cheese. It was creamy and warm and I wanted that. The reason for the docked stars is because the restaurant was absolutely packed, and it was very loud between the people trying to talk (yell) over the volume of the tvs and also the waitress forgot to put our order in so we were waiting for over an hour. They were short staffed in the kitchen which I can understand and sympathize with. The food still came out hot and yummy. But the wait was really long, and the fact that our order wasn't entered was a bummer. They gave us 25% off our bill which was a nice gesture. I would surely give them another try as I'm sure it was just an off night. But if you want yummy food, this is a good place to go. Give them a try, and get the Philly. Can always place a Togo order! read more
