Have enjoyed both times I've eaten here on two different trips. Food is excellent, view and setting are the best and wait staff was good.

This is one of our "must stops" everytime we visit Florida! The food is good and the outside seating beachside provides a pleasant atmosphere and view.

I wanted to review the Sandbar again, as they have remodeled since our last visit. In our past visits we have always chosen to sit outside, as the indoor seating was smoky and dark. However, the inside renovation is clean, bright and modern, with floor to ceiling window views-no reason to sit outside when the inside is so pleasant! The... More

What can I say except we sat at a table in the sand, watched the sunset and dined on fresh-caught shrimp, fresh Gulf snapper and fresh grouper. Jessica was a fabulous waitress who really listened to us, let us take our time, and came through with wonderful suggestions. This is a very good restaurant which knows how to handle large... More

There is nothing better than eating with your toes wiggling in the whitest of white sand! Amazing prawns and scallops in mushroomy sauce. SUPERB homemade malty bread. Inexpensive. Highly recommend!

Perfect setting on the beach. You can sit outside or in, we prefer out. The view is stunning on the Gulf of Mexico. We had Grouper sandwiches and they were cooked perfectly! Pricey, but....Just delicious! The beer was ice cold, the service was very great. Sorry we hadn't tried this place sooner!

The Sandbar Restaurant on Anna Maria Island has a lot going for it. It is actually right on the beach with a beautiful beach - gulf view. You can hear the waves splash and watch the beach goings on. While we have rated the food with three stars it is more like a 3 1/2 but that was not available.... More
