Plenty of seating options inside and out, sand flooring everywhere The food is prime - burgers are juicy and flavorful & the fries and onion rings are always hot and crispy. Great bang for your buck too!!

Skinny's is exactly what you'd hope for when looking for an afternoon burger joint on the island…read more Lots of outdoor seating, solid service, and very respectable food. The place is a little hole in the wall that gets quite a bit of traffic on the weekends, but we managed to get our food within 15 or so minutes despite the crowd. The food overall was good. Not amazing, not bad, just good. Burgers are easy to do well and hard to do REALLY well, and Skinny's knows this in stride. The burger itself is a fine deal (especially considering tourist prices): $9 for a cheeseburger. However, what put a sour taste in my mouth (metaphorically) was the chicken bites. See that little plate of 5-6 chicken nugget things? Yeah, that was $11. Very tasty, but at $2 a wing, that is truly the ripoff of a century. Overall, Skinny's hits the middle of the road in all aspects: food, ambiance, value. And when other joints are charging an arm and a leg for a decent meal, Skinny's stays true to its roots: a solid burger and fries, a cheap beer, and a full belly for under $20.

My wife and I recently visited this general store on beautiful Anna Maria Island near Bradenton, FL…read moreand had a very pleasant experience. The store is centrally located on historic Pine Avenue on the north side of the island near the pier, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, the store includes Dips ice cream area in the front, colorful baseball-type hats and every kind of basic item you'd ever need in such a General Store, the floors are cool old-historic style wood floors, has the "feel" of an old historic general store, has a full-service deli-grill with a full array of deli items, sandwiches, yummy bakery items, granoli-type bars/crackers, beverages, etc., friendly employees, a restroom, and a big, relaxing area for sitting and eating or drinking what you buy in the store.

They also make yummy breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, coffees, smoothies, and more. It's fun to shop at their store after having a quick bite to eat.

I normally don't like grits, but these were actually really good. My eggs were a bit overcooked, though I didn't specify how I wanted them, so that one's on me. The cinnamon roll was delish and HUGE. I was a little bummed it's heated in the microwave instead of the oven, but honestly... still very good. I'd go back and get it again. Coffee was very meh :( I'm still on the hunt for the best coffee spot in AMI. Overall, a great stop for breakfast if you're in the area.

The marina setting is such a vibe, with dockside picnic tables, a tiki bar, and a small indoor space with a bar and a few tables. We were genuinely blown away by the quality of the food. Everything tasted incredibly fresh the menu says "caught and served same day," and it absolutely lives up to that promise. The blackened fish tacos were a standout and some of the best we've had. The Caesar salad dressing is made In house and is absolutely delicious! We added the blackened mahi and it was filling and delicious. I have mastered a homemade recipe and I'm hard to impress when it comes to Caesar . (We ordered it extra saucy) The only thing we didn't love was the grouper spread, but that was more of a personal preference--it leaned more toward a tuna fish style spread rather than the creamier version we were expecting. The service was great too, the waiters are obviously kept super busy in a spot like that but still managed to get the job done with a smile! Overall, this was easily some of the best food we've had in Florida in the 10 years we've been coming here for spring break. We'll definitely be adding this spot to our yearly rotation.

Food wise after several meals of fish we were excited to dive into some red meat. The 8 oz fillet was grilled to perfection and came with two "sides" (although the "side" Caesar-$3 extra, would have served 2 easily). I enjoyed the beef tips special with a savory mushroom gravy served over garlic mashed potatoes. The bread service was fine but nothing special. Definitely save room for the outstanding chocolate mousse cake-huge slab of chocolate cake layered with a creamy chocolate mousse and covered with shavings of white chocolate.
