Anna Maria Island Eats

From rustic tiki bars on the bay side to candlelit bistros on the Gulf, Anna Maria Island has a dining scene that punches well above its size. The catch of the day is genuinely that: grouper, red snapper, mullet, and blue crab pulled from local waters. Holmes Beach is also home to some of the best burger joints on Florida's Gulf Coast.

A few of our favorites below.

The Feast

(941) 778-5092 · Visit Website

Casual fine dining in Holmes Beach. Fresh seafood, steaks, handmade pasta, and wood-fired pizza, with a solid wine list and rotating craft beers.

The Waterfront

(941) 778-1515 · Visit Website

Open-air patio dining on Tampa Bay with views of the emerald water. The menu leans into fresh, natural flavors: piccata, au poivre, pesto, mojo, and daily specials sourced from local fishermen. A good pick for a longer, unhurried dinner.

Skinny's Place

(941) 778-7769 · Visit Website

An island institution since 1952. Picnic tables, cold beer, and burgers worth the wait. Walk in from the beach or bike over. Open daily, 11 am to 8 pm.
