We stayed just around the corner from here & it has outside seating by the bar area and we thought it would be reasonably priced. A Caesar salad is $10, a kids Mac n cheese (no sides-just a small bowl of m&c) was $5.95! Other local restaurants serve a main dish with a side for that or slightly less. The... More

Very nice place. Great food. Good service. Amazing ambience just by the water. Perfect for family dinners. Kids loves playing with the rocks. Also resonable price as well. We love this place ,will come back for sure..

We visit Anna Maria Island each year for our anniversary and love trying places new to us. We've passed by Bridge Tender Inn on past visits, and it smelled so good this time, we decided to go in for lunch. Great choice! I had the best blacked chicken sandwich I think I've ever had from anywhere and my husband had... More

Location is perfect here. Loved the ambience of this place. We had great service and BETTER food. Drinks were good. A perfect place for dinner while enjoying the sunset and the view!!

We really enjoyed everything about this place. The food was excellent. I had the Shrimp Liguine and my husband had the Nachos. Everything was delicious. We also enjoyed one of the best Coconut Shrimp with Piña Colada dip we've ever had. It was very busy but they were very nice. You can't go to a lot of places on this... More

Food was great and service was better. We went on quite a busy nite during spring break. Our waitress, Julie, seemed very busy but gave our party of 5 wonderful service, really felt like she took the time to make sure our needs were met. Had the house special duck, fresh grouper, and triggerfish, all recommended by waitress. We all... More

A good, solid seafood restaurant whose outdoor area is on the water with a nice view of the bay. My fried oysters and my wife's crab cakes were very good. Excellent service. Chocaholics will love the Godiva chocolate pie. Margaritas were average.

Only restaurant that was able to accommodate us as spring break. Staff told us it would be approx 30 - 40 minutes before a table was available. Decided to sit in their open air bar area opposite whilst waiting and told staff ( would have been nice to have been offered it). Bar area was an experience! - very limited... More

The Bridge Tender never fails to please! Unbeatable spot on the water, just off Bradenton beach, surrounded by water and colorful boating activity. Live music most times and an even livelier crowd. The seafood is tops and the sautéed chicken livers are the best anywhere. Lots of great beers on tap including Guinness. The grilled Portobello mushrooms and select Panhandle... More
