My wife and I recently visited this general store on beautiful Anna Maria Island near Bradenton, FL…read moreand 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.

Near the entrance there is a table with the menu printed with pencils so you can mark the different combos you want. Which is so much fun. We brought our dogs so we sat outside. It's a nice patio. The donuts looked sooo good. I was surprised that it had a light crispness to it since the website mentioned cake style donuts. It's a very balanced donut, I'd totally eat it without any toppings and glazes. The toppings and icings weren't overly rich. I'd totally do this again. If I lived nearby I would be a regular ( so maybe it's a good thing I don't )

I will start by saying I've been out front of this business. I couldn't even say how many times yet…read moreI never realized it has breakfast. That being said, I found it on yelp and I'm very glad I did. It's similar to a Panera bread/chipotle where you get in line with your menu place your order grab a number and sit down. My daughter ordered a pancake with blueberries on top and a side of two eggs. The pancake was perfectly cooked and delicious as were the fresh blueberries. We ordered the eggs over easy and they were a little under cooked (runny white). I ordered the smoked salmon, avocado toast, which comes with two slices of toast, smoked salmon, avocado spread, fresh tomatoes slices, capers, and red onions. The only thing missing was balsamic glaze IMO. The place is so cute with all its unique and quirky decorations. They have light fixtures made of license plates, blue glass water bottles, and even a surfboard. The tables are all mismatched. I love! It has perfect beach, vibes. There is no service, but the cashiers are very friendly and helpful. Also, as a tip, they have a coffee bar where you can find the silverware whatever you need for your coffee & cups to get plain water.

Ginny's is exactly what you expect. A really yummy, classic AMI spot with friendly service and…read moresolid comfort food. I ordered an egg scramble with grits and wheat toast. I normally don't like grits, but these were actually really good. My eggs were a bit overcooked, though I didn't specify how I wanted them, so that one's on me. The cinnamon roll was delish and HUGE. I was a little bummed it's heated in the microwave instead of the oven, but honestly... still very good. I'd go back and get it again. Coffee was very meh :( I'm still on the hunt for the best coffee spot in AMI. Overall, a great stop for breakfast if you're in the area.

The sauce was so good we wanted to lick the plate. I ordered a fried grouper sandwich with coleslaw. The grouper fillet was HUGE, perfectly cooked and the breading was slightly and flavorful. We will definitely be back when we visit again. Totally worth the drive and wait!
