FOOD SCENE
Anna Maria Island fav - An awesome lunch / dinner place, cheap beer and wine. Note there is usually a longer wait, so plan ahead / come at less busy times. Catch of the day blackened mahi with coleslaw and fries is really great!!
Our hack - order beer / white wine at the downstairs bar (quicker). Perch up on the water and order food to go (at the downstairs bar). Best view in the house & skips the wait ;)
