Restaurant

Came for some food, stayed for the view. I had the scallops Oscar style. It was prepared perfectly and tasted amazing. The portion was exactly how much I wanted. I sat at the bar and had a couple of beers while I ate. The bar service was great!

Great food, great people. Don't be fooled by the rough exterior, this place serves some of the best seafood we've had in the Anna Maria area. Definitely worth the wait if there is a line. Be sure to try the homemade key lime pie.

Most beautiful scenery. A hidden gem in all honesty! Good drinks, ordered the fish and chips which was good, very small serving. Yet, service was good.

Great food. Great atmosphere. First Friday had a great bluegrass band. I would have liked to have had missed drink, but beer and wine only. Snapper and grouper were out of this world.

4 not 5 stars and here's why. The food and ambiance are good. The place is set for smaller seating and that's good because it adds to the "French cafe" setting. The interior is decorated with French inspired prints as well as offerings from local artists. Our server... not quite as good. As a server you never tell a customer their beverage request is going to be a few minutes because you have to take another customer's order. That makes you now feel like a second class customer, not as important as someone sitting 2 tables away else even though your money is just as green and it will be taken just as quickly. You never tell a customer they're going to have to wait because of someone else. Also, to see coffee poured once at the beginning when you sit then once near the end indicates you're not as high a priority as whatever else is going on. Even a server from a different table saw our cups were empty when passing by (she did a double take) and offered to fill us. Our server then must have determined we were done and it was time for us to leave because she put the bill on the table without checking if we wanted anything else (a dessert crêpe would have been nice). She was pleasant and nice when she interacted with us, she just needs more training and needs to remember that the customer comes first, not restaurant operations.

Visited this place several times. Had lunch and dinner, plus we stopped by for drinks. Really helpful and friendly staff. Great atmosphere, live music every night. Wide range of beers and other drinks. Friendly local patrons, too. The food was fresh and well prepared and quick to table.

Excellent all around! The Ocean Star salad is the best I've ever had in my entire existence! I went back home to Ft. Lauderdale and dreamt about it for 30 days until I could travel to Anna Maria and endulge in all of it's goodness once again. Our waitress was excellent and friendly. The Manager was also very warm and inviting. Will I go back? Well duh ...ofcourse I will! ;)

Our waiter graciously welcomed our group of 7 roudy women. Great entrees of seafood specials with a broad variety. My swordfish was excellent, not overdone and nicely seasoned. Don't ignore dessert! At least get one to share.

Very good food and good service...... Cash only (written even in their web site if you take the time to google it), but not a problem, they have an ATM!!!!!! Great......... Wait is a little long but you will forget about it as soon as you will give the first bite.......

This was a wonderful experience. The outdoor seating area at the Sandbar Restaurant spills out onto the white sand beach. Our table, chairs, and feet were actually in the sand. The wait staff was extremely friendly and told us some stories about the local wildlife. The food was excellent too. I highly recommend the Seafood and Grits. It comes with shrimp, fish, oysters, and cheese grits. I didn't know what to expect from the cheese grits but I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised.

We ate here at least four times during our latest trip to Holmes Beach. This place is legit delicious. Kombucha on tap is on point. The chicken and steak and all the fixings are so good. Kids loved it too!

Make sure to call ahead if you want to eat during regular times like lunch or dinner. Great food and average service. The food is worth the price here. I promise. Enjoy!

A favorite place! The sweet and sour cabbage soup is to die for! The salad bar is always fresh, never a brown edge on the lettuce/ never. The pizza only the best. Our son is lactose intolerant and they will always make a special pizza for him when he visits. The toasted garlic pizza is especially yummy. Everything is topped off with a sundae of the creaminest ice cream included in the all you can eat pizza buffet.

Top notch seafood shack and bar at the end of the pier. We arrived without a booking, and got a drink while we waited for a table. It was not such a long wait, and had clam strips to start, which were a huge plateful. The food and staff were great. Would recommend this place.

Plenty of outdoor seating (it’s all outdoor - half is covered) in this casual, unique restaurant. Service is friendly, live music all day, and the food is great. Definitely worth experiencing. Dogs are welcome if you are traveling with yours. They will even bring water out for your four-legged friends.

This quintessential Florida seafood restaurant sits on the water at the marina. An occasional porpoise siting adds to the atmosphere, though they are not employees, so it's not going to happen all that often. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. There is a bar with a good selection. Food is fresh and well-prepared. Has often been our lunch spot during a day of fishing since you can tie off the boat.

Great family place to get food wait staff was very helpful and came back to check on how everything was made I've been here several times before and it's still very good for a good breakfast or lunch I will be back again and again.

We had a great table near the water on the sand. Good food but I ordered grouper collars which I didn't like but I had never had them before. The was nothing wrong with what they did but I just don't like them. The other two had scallops and they were wonderful.

Delightfully quiet place with great atmosphere for fine dining and great service. You can access by boat depending on the tide.

Opened during freaking Hurricane Irma... the manager Tara Bechun is amazing. You saved my family and i. Thank you.
