"eat here" is actually Anna Maria Island's newest fine dining experience!
Anna Maria Island food and restaurants
You will eat well on peaceful Anna Maria Island because there are plenty of great restaurants to choose from!
From our vacation rental home, Google Maps says it’s 6 minutes to the Rod & Reel Pier at the top of our map, and 6 minutes to Mr. Bones BBQ at the bottom. That’s about as far as we usually go for dinner…by car, bike or trolley. (-:
Don’t get us wrong…there are dozens more restaurants a bit further south on the island, over the two bridges to the mainland, on Longboat Key, and in Sarasota. But we’re pretty happy with the food and atmosphere within 6 minutes. And we bet you will be too. (-:
Also, the island has a terrific PUBLIX supermarket with fresh produce, an excellent bakery, great meats and fish…why cross that bridge if you don’t have to?
