I was very disappointed with this restaurant. I have been coming here since around 2011 every year…read more Sometimes multiple times. We were sixth in line. The restaurant wasn't busy. Half of the tables were empty. It took us over 15 minutes just to put our order in. After receiving our order the shrimp was good as always, but my fries were so hard I could only eat half of them. The hush puppies, were just ok. What was once a favorite restaurant in the area, now needs to get back to being the restaurant I once loved.

We did have one issue with a clam that had some black material inside, which affected the flavor of part of the steamer. I called the restaurant afterward, and Nick, the manager, was extremely kind, professional, and helpful. He apologized sincerely and made the situation right. I do not believe anyone there knowingly served something off -- it seemed like an unfortunate one-off issue, and the way they handled it said a lot about their customer service. Because of how respectful and sincere Nick was, I would definitely give Topsail Steamer another try.

Had a fantastic meal at Anna Maria Oyster Bar! The service was friendly, attentive, and prompt,…read moremaking for a great dining experience from the moment we arrived. For appetizers, enjoyed two dozen oysters--both the traditional and chimichurri styles. The oysters were incredibly fresh, plump, and among the tastiest we've had. The chimichurri preparation really enhanced the flavor of the oyster. The other appetizer, calamari was crispy, tender, and cooked just right. The fish tacos were perfectly seasoned and delicious, while the clam chowder was loaded with clams and pleasantly not overly salty. To top it all off, the Maria Sauvignon Blanc was light, crisp, and refreshing. I can appreciate why their Key Lime Tart waa voted best!! The Key Lime Tart was outstanding!! Perfectly balancied sweet and tart flavors with a creamy filling. A great way to finish our meal!! Excellent food, great service, and a scenic view of the pier and water made for a relaxing dining atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!!

Detweiler's was our go to spot while vacationing on Anna Maria Island…read more They have pretty much everything we needed for groceries. Every time we walked down a new isle we found more stuff to get. Haha We got some hotdogs for grilling and donuts for breakfast and much more. I was looking for a pineapple mango that I saw on social media the one that the lady that found it said it was one of the last few they had which was true unfortunately when I got it home and cut into it it was rotten.

Our server was very polite and attentive. Great option for families too, with a kids menu featuring crowd-pleasers like chicken fingers and fries. There's also a fun little gift shop inside to browse, and plenty of parking, which makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable.

When visiting this area of Florida one thing that you should always eat is fresh seafood. Cortez,…read morethe town is known for fresh seafood. This restaurant was located down a small street by some boats near water and you just knew that whatever seafood you were getting was going to be the freshest, especially the grouper and the mahi-mahi. The seating is all outside and they have live music. You can easily tell that this is a local favorite because they were lots of tables of people that seemed to not have a care in the world and just enjoying life. Our server came over and quickly offered us water and gave us suggestions of what to order from the menu. I wound up having a grilled grouper sandwich which was delicious and so big that I couldn't even finish it. The other item we ordered was the blackened fish tacos with the truffle mashed potatoes. It was a little strange to see mashed potatoes on the menu, but man they were so yummy. The tacos were delicious as well. I wish they had beer on draft, but it was fine that they didn't. The cocktail menu also looked really good. I will say that based on the time of day we went there were some mosquitoes out but that's Florida and it's not the restaurant fault. This is definitely a restaurant. We will keep in mind when we are down here again.
