This place is always booming with live entertainment. Stopped by today for the first time to get Thanksgiving dinner. Lady that took my order was friendly and helpful. I dont have any family to spend the holidays with other than my boyfriend but I promised my Nana in heaven that I would enjoy the day like she was here with me and it just wasn't going to be the same without turkey so I stopped here to get a Turkey dinner for nearly $30. The mashed potatoes were ice cold like they were scooped out of a container that was pulled out of fridge. The turkey was okay. I didn't eat the cranberry sauce because well I'm the what 1% that will pass on that stuff. The corn was okay. Definitely not worth the $30 I paid. I would absolutely return to enjoy the live entertainment while having a drink but I don't drink. Other than the food, this place is awesome.
Always enjoy a great meal from The Bridge Tender. Philly Cheese Steak with and w/out the bun. Both were good. A little on the dry side for us, but it was good. Triple Decker Turkey Club was the bomb. Ton of turkey. Their homemade coleslaw is definitely one of the better coleslaws around IMO. Younger female server was awesome, with a super fun personality. Definitely makes the customers feel good while enjoying some laughter. See y'all again, and again, and again...
Fun place to grab a drink or bite and listen to live music. Nice atmosphere. I've only been in the outdoor section. Nice view of the docks and water. The nachos had too much lettuce. The philly was good. Wish they had a better selection of beer but it was enough. I'd go back and I would recommend the place to friends and family even if they weren't Packers fans 🙂
The Bridge Tender is Not a Hotel…It is a Great Bayside Restaurant in Anna Maria Island in Florida. It is a Dockside Restaurant that serves Comfort Foods and Delicious Cocktail Beverages. I was there again tonight for an Awesome Halloween Theme Party. The Decorations were super nice. They really went all out. They had Fog filled Bubbles that released smoke when they popped. Spooky Fun Decorations. We had an Awesome Time Tonight. Since I live on AMI it is one of my Favorite places to relax and enjoy the Evening Entertainment and have a few Cocktails and a bite to eat. A must Go when your here on AMI.
Been here a couple of times and always had a great time. Friendly bartenders, good food and drinks. Parking is a bit tight in season because it's on Anna Maria, but well worth it. Pro tip, get the Basa Bites, they're absolutely delicious! Also if you're looking for the best Green Bay Packers bar in the Sarasota/Bradenton (possibly even Tampa) area, this is it!
I love this place! Usually has great love music, waterfront, good drinks, and good food! The best coconut shrimp I've had. It's the Pina colada dipping sauce that makes it! I have been there several times and tried different things-ALL GOOD.
My all time favorite places on AMI. My grandson's first time and 5 minutes in he found a shark tooth.
Always friendly staff, great food and drinks and the atmosphere is the BEST!!
Peel n Eat shrimp, Roast Beef dip, Grouper Rueben, Grouper Sandwich, Tuma Caesar these are just a few of my favorites when I spend time on Anna Marie! Make it happen you won’t regret the stop at the Bridge Tender.
We had chowder, grouper Ruben, grouper fingers, tuna, coconut shrimp, adult beverages, and grilled cheese for my little. Everyone enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. Great view as well, will be back when in neighborhood 🙌🏼✔️
In my personal opinion, this is a great place with great views. The food is pretty good. They have a tiki bar and have live music. It's pretty busy. Good service as well.
Yes! This is the place to be. Waterside with a cold one, taking in the great Ana Marie air. Live band in front of me, letting all my worries disappear. The staff is amazing and hustlers. Kids collected some great shells right at the dock. This is going to be a regular hang out for me.
This is a cool place to have a good meal and listen to some good music alongside the water.
The staff were friendly and the service was good. We got our food and drinks in a timely manner and the grouper sandwich was amazing!!
Came here on a Friday evening and there was live music, which was a lot of fun! The service was good, friendly and prompt. The food was good too, except it was on the pricier side given the small serving sizes.
They have a bar right on the water by the docks and a bar across the street. Live music and cold beer. Cool place
Drinks & food came out in a timely manner & it was really yummy. Grouper Ruben 🤌🏽. The kids fried shrimp is actual gulf sized shrimp, not popcorn shrimp, they loved it. House margarita was also 🤌🏽. Reasonably price for being on the water. Live music was great! After eating, it’s fun to walk bridge street & pier.
I've recently moved to the area and often take my bike out on Anna Maria Island. I discovered I can stop at this beautiful waterside restaurant and have lunch, and I can sit my bike next to me. The location is amazing and the service has been polite and efficient. I had lunch twice this week. Once ordering the grouper sandwich and the second time a classic cheeseburger with fries. Delicious! If you are in the area you should definitely check it out.
Perfect bayside location with great food, music and atmosphere
Jeff and I love to come here to catch some music. They used to have the best musician we loved to see Dan Signor play here. Look for Luke Andrews when he plays great guy. Most times there is a spot to dock your boat. Be sure to bring bug spray during that time of year.
