Besides the fact that the place smells like old fish, the food is overall pretty good and reasonably priced.

Anna Maria Oyster Bar (AMOB) is a great place for lunch or dinner. I've always found both the food and the service great. I have ate at a couple of their other locations and find consistency across the locations I have visited. They also …

Ordered fish and chips, batter was soft and tasteless, the fish was grey in colour, tartar sauce was just mayonnaise with a few flakes of pickle.....the worst I've ever had!

Great local seafood restaurant with a bar and outdoor seating (heated during the colder months). I really enjoyed this place while visiting from out-of-town.

Really a great place to eat. I usually get the Grouper sandwich, knock back some fried oysters and a beer before hand. Staff is always friendly. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

Great place to eat with plenty of choices. Good waiting area outside. Avoid the dinner crowd and grab lunch here when it's not crowded. Soak up the nautical themed dining area but be aware that there'll be a lot of tourists stopping by since it's easy to find.

We went there for the all you can eat fish and chips, they have an early bird special I think from 2 to 5 and you can get all you can eat fish and chips. The fish was great and the portion you get right off the bat was almost enough for me. The service was very friendly as well.

They were quite busy when we went, I felt our server was a bit anxious to take our order didn't want to come back because we all had not decided On whar all 8 of us wanted.. Food was a bit pricey for the amount of food. Maybe had we had a different server I would be willing to go back

Delicious food, but VERY slow service, and our request to turn in a fan was ignored/forgotten, which was annoying because my 10-month old got very distraught with the temperature in the restaurant. Not to mention momma was sweating like balls!

Definitely the worst seafood I've had on Florida's gulf coast. Lobster over done and rubbery, scallops sub par and beans and shrimp on par with Nebraska seafood joints. I wish there was a positive I could add, but there simply is not.
