This is my favorite place on the island nothing fancy great burgers ice cold beer in a mug that is very reasonable price friendly staff very laid back ! Great place to toss a few back . read more

5 stars? I went to this place because of all the 5 stars and people raving about the great burgers. They were good, they were ok, certainly not amazing. There really was nothing special to talk about regarding the burgers. They were not terrible, but they were not wonderful. I had the potato salad as well. It was pretty meh as well. The place itself is just a typical bar. If this is the best burger on the island, the other places must really be dreadful. If I were vacationing in the area again, I probably wouldn't return to this place. It was merely average. read more

Duffy's Tavern - Duffys - Burgers Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

The Best burgers and cold beer at a great price! One of my favorite spots on the island.

I can not remember the last time I had a burger this good. It was amazing. Perfectly cooked. Wish we would have tried sooner on our trip.

Great burgers and potato salad. Reasonable prices. Also, great service. Greaaaaaaaaaat Serrrrrviccceeee.

Cash only (ATM inside). The brie & caramelized onion burger as well as the bacon cheeseburger all the way were good. My family didn't love that they don't offer fries. Very laid back spot for a quick bite to eat. read more

This seems like a local place - or a place for desperate tourists who need some food. The inside area is small. There's a sign that says face masks are required, but the workers weren't wearing them. You order at the bar and they will bring the food out to you. Because of this they never check in to see how your meal is. The food was just okay. I had a burger which was more well done than I would have liked. The ham sandwich had three pieces of bread - not sure if it was supposed to be more of a club style or if they forgot a piece. The chili was good. I wouldn't go back here unless I was in need of finding a place without a wait. read more

Usually love little hole in the wall places and was excited to try Duffy's. The burgers were nothing special, in fact I've had better at a roadside stand. The service is appalling, closing in on rude and somebody needs to teach the staff how to clean. Yuck. read more

Best burger on the island!! They don't have fries but the burger makes up for it. We have to visit every trip! And staff is very friendly!

Simply the best burgers on (or anywhere around) the island. Old school cash only place, so be ready. We have been coming to the area for years and always hit duffy's. I hear the other food is good too but I keep getting the burgers. read more

What a great joint this is! The burgers are awesome and have to agree the beer is the coldest this side of heaven! read more

Duffy's Tavern - Burgers Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

A weekly stop for my family and I (if not twice a week). You might be inclined to drive right past it but I highly encourage going in. The burgers are absolutely unreal. I'm not the biggest burger fan but I'll be darned if I don't eat one of these at least once a week. It's a family owned place and everyone is very kind. Totally okay to roll up in a wet bathing suit after the beach. Cold cheap beer and killer food. We love y'all! read more

Best burgers on the island as well as the coldest beers!! If you are a soup fan even better as they are homemade. The bean soup is AMAZING, as is the chili. Don't miss this little hidden gem! read more

Diamond in the rough. Cheap pitchers and food. Had a large group that snagged the outdoor lanai. Everyone ordered hotdogs and hamburgers and we were all satisfied. Delicious, simple bar food and friendly staff. Great spot for lunch. I'd start here, catch a buzz and head down to the ugly grouper for overpriced drinks and live music. Can't go wrong at Duffys! read more

Coldest draft beer I've ever had! And it was only a dollar! My wife had the cheese burger and I had the double cheese burger. They were good but the double burger was too much for the bun and fell apart. Also had a side of their homemade potato salad, just like moms. It's a fun place to bring the family. read more

The food is disgusting and the people at the bar are mean the cheeseburger is not Worth it I do not recommend

Great food and cold drinks! Burger was delicious and prices were reasonable. Will make it a regular stop in future visits to Anna Marie Island. read more

Duffy's Tavern - Duffys for burgers and cold beer on St.Patricks day - Burgers Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

Best burger on the planet, hands down. Great low key, hard working vibe. A gem of a place!

During our annual visit to AMI, I decided we needed to weigh in on the local burger rivalry - Duffy's Tavern vs. Skinny's Place. Ding, ding, ding! And, Duffy's is the clear winner! It's a bar, but the atmosphere seemed family-friendly to me. At least around 7 pm. The burgers were very good and the menu was far more interesting than their rival's. I got a Brie and caramelized onion burger with potato salad. It was perfect. The others got a regular cheeseburger and a braunschweiger sandwich (blech, but she liked it and loved that the even had it in the menu). I will definitely make this our burger go-to when we visit. read more

Duffy's Tavern is a great place to come with friends and family for a good meal, or a great burger. The burgers here are really good: Big buns, smoked patties, crispy bacon (if you order the bacon burger like I did), fresh lettuce and pickles, and many more. They serve a variety of drinks, from water to sodas to alcohol. All the drinks are nice and cold, so you can count on them to refresh you. The place is small, but has a warm, welcoming atmosphere to it. Overall a great experience. read more

Local bar - the burger was just ok. If you're a big beer drinker this could be your spot.

We ordered food and I said no cheese on the burger, I have an allergy and they put cheese on my burger plus when I try to lift it off to try and salvage my meal there's a HAIR, absolutely disgusting. Also there was two confederate flags hanging up, very offsetting and uncomfortable for kids, duffys do better. read more

ATTN: NO FRIES OR ONION RINGS. What a fucking travesty. Your burger is so juicy. Your beers are so cold. Your service is so friendly. Why cant you follow through? Its like running a football back for 99 yards and dropping it on the 1 yard line as you cross the end zone. Who does that?? Ill even look past the "cash only" shtick. Even though it is 2015 (heard of The Square?). All the aforementioned is the difference between 3 and 5 stars. This is a local's dive bar after all. read more

If you go to AMI, this place is a MUST. Hit it up on the way to the beach to get inexpensive icy cold delicious beer. Then, after swimming at the beach and working up an appetite, head back to Duffy's for a hamburger and another beer. Don't eat the beach cafes food unless it is Sunday and you are getting there unlimited breakfast. Duffy's has all the locals, it looks questionable on the outside but inside is quite an experience! read more

Honestly don't know where people are eating their burgers if they think Duffy's is the best. I was pretty disappointed in the burger and the atmosphere inside can best be described as "discarded furniture chic". Saving grace was the cheap, cold beer... maybe I didn't have enough before I ate. read more

Great place for lunch. The burgers were very good. Had a laid back and fun atmosphere.

The burgers are excellent but the service is stale. The ladies that work there should take a lesson in hospitality. My husband and I frequent this restaurant many times a year when we are on Anna Maria Island. Every time we are there we see the same faces and they never look happy to see or serve you. A smile could go a long way. We keep going back just because of the burgers. My favorite is the jalapeño havarti, lthough its not jalapeños on the burger, it's actually red cherry peppers. It still is delicious. read more

When it comes to burgers and dirt-cheap pitchers of Budweiser, Duffy's Tavern is as good as it gets. Not an expansive menu (they don't even have fries), but they have consistently amazing burgers and incredibly cheap beer. If you're on AMI, you can't miss this place, simply incredible. read more

I called in to order some burgers for pick up. When I arrived NO ONE was wearing a mask including the kitchen staff. I was appalled. There were people sitting at the bar, no social distancing and no masks anywhere. read more

Best burger and coldest beer on the island. What more could you ask for? Remember it's a cash-only establishment so plan accordingly. read more

I have heard so much about Duffy's Tavern from my friends, and that it was one of the top 10 hamburgers places around. It was a great disappointment. First, there is no table service. You are expected to clean off the table from the patrons before you, go to the bar and place your order, then go to pick up your order. It was a pre-form hamburger patty, nothing special! They do not serve french fries, a hamburger without fries?! I did have the cole slaw for the side and it was good. I do not understand the rave reviews, unless the other reviewers have had pretty lousy hamburgers at other establishments. They do not take credit cards either, cash only. Been there, done that! read more

This is a good place to go if you're looking for a cheap meal. They have a bunch of beers for under $3 and the food is really cheap too. My boyfriend got a hotdog with toppings, hamburger with toppings and I got a grilled cheese, chips and we had two beers and it was $15. The burgers looked really good and everyone that had one said they were delicious. I should've got one of those instead of grilled cheese!! read more

Ahhh Duffys..... Burgers are still good!!! Don't get the potato salad. Was about to take a bite and saw a long black hair :(. Minus 1 star for that. Don't worry, I didn't eat it. read more

Great AMI must do. Great burgers & Beer! They only accept cash - don't offer French fries - don't offer ice / cups with drinks. Still good food. read more

Good service and good food. We just got the burgers and a ham sandwich but all were very good. Service was good as well. Wish they had fountain drinks instead they sell them by the can. Weird that the Beer was cheaper than the ice tea :-) read more

On my latest quest for a good dive burger I stoped in Duffy's to give it a try. The place was packed when I got there about 15 minutes after they opened on sunday. I was lucky enough to get a seat at the bar and get a beer. Just the usual in that regard, nothing special but at least cheap. I tried the special horseradish cheddar burger. Even though it was packed, it didn't take long for it to come up. It was fine, nothing special, the burger was seasoned well and the lettice was fine, so was the tomato. Basically like getting the ingrediants at the grocery. The let down was the horseradish cheddar. Not even close. No spice, no kick no nothing. Not even melted. So a fine burger but nothing special. The quest for a good dive burger in the Sarasota Bradenton area continues. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff! My burger was very good and fresh and my husband loved the pulled bbq pork sandwich. I love the atmosphere and decor, too. read more
