Well, this location looks like a gas station on the pier. Nothing really that stands out at first, but when you start to walk down the pier, you are...

Right on the pier, with fishermen busy fishing, this local favorite has been here since Noah built the Arc. They have a great staff that works hard and are...

Delicious!!! Located at the end of a pier on Anna Maria Island near Bean Point Beach. Beautiful views of the water. Real small dining room, but the service is wonderful with friendly staff and people. The service was real quick even with our family of 6 and one was a toddler. The meal arrived hot and fresh. My grouper sandwich was yummy. I thought we'd be waiting to be seated when we arrived, but we were seated right away. We arrived around 4:30pm on a Friday. We stayed in a vacation house just a few minutes walk from there. Glad we had a chance to experience this spot!

First time going here and definitely will not be returning. Firstly if you are charging market price for a seafood platter then it should be fresh or as close to fresh as it can be. The grouper was obviously frozen and tasted old, same with the scallops they tasted like scallops you'd buy from Walmart....the shrimp tasted like pre cooked cocktail shrimp that had been seasoned and cooked. The crab cake didn't even taste like crab, it was way under seasoned and way too heavy on peppers. I ordered blackened food for my dinner. It looked and tastes like it was sauteed in butter with a little seasoning, no where near what I have had at other restaurants when ordering blackened food. Super under seasoned and bland. The coleslaw was almost dry. Was going to order key lime pie for desert as my wife had never had it, but wasn't going to be disappointed again. If you're wanting this type of food then go to Captain D's, it will be better and MUCH CHEAPER.
