The food was great! The service, even at a full lunch time, was quick. I think we waited maybe 10 min after ordering our food. The staff were helpful and gracious. If you are looking for a reasonable A.M.I. meal experience that will not cost too much money the Beach Café is the place to eat. My wife had the chicken Cesar wrap, which had a fun little Pico De Gallo that had just enough kick. I ordered the fish sandwich, it was amazing. Was it local fish, more than likely not, but the fish was perfectly cooked and the batter was excellent and it had 2 enormous filets on it. I had to eat some of the fish before it was in a manageable sandwich size, which I think is awesome. Fries did not come with the sandwich they were a side, go figure. We got my two-year-old got just the plain old chicken strips and a fruit cup and he ate it right down. The best part of the whole meal was the sweet potato fries (chips) with marshmallow fluff. Do not bash it until you try it! It was worth every one of the five hundred ninety-nine pennies we spent on it! Total our bill came to $31.09 we did not get drinks only water. We had an excellent ocean view, excellent food, and a great time.

I brought my family here while it was raining for coffee/drinks on the beach to enjoy the view. When we walked up to the counter our coffee order was taken by a girl with a blonde pixie cut. I ordered 2 coffees (it was raining, they were empty). I did not tip (Im walking to the counter and pouring my own coffee, why should I?) as I was walking away the girl said "zero" loud enough for the guys in the back to hear. Anyways - we tried to serve ourselves, but the coffee was cold (the coffee was for my grandparents, I cant give them cold coffee) When I politely told the girl, she called to the back and said "I dont know how to make coffee and I dont care to learn". Then turned to me and said it would be a few minutes. We left after 20 min. We were willing to buy alcoholic drinks for us younger ppl to wait out the rain, and spend plenty of money but the horrible staff turned us off. The place has a beautiful view but so do many other places on the island, that are more upscale and less Daytona beach.

I was pleasantly surprised with just how good this Beach Cafe was. The view is of course amazing, and it is super nice that you can actually eat at tables ON the beach, instead of just the patio by the beach. Dont let the "snack bar" appearance fool you, the food here is surprisingly good. You will pay the price for the view. The prices here are NOT cheap, but this isnt something I do everyday either. My buddy had the fish and chips, and they were excellent! I just wanted a burger, and it is just what you think of a burger. A preformed frozen patty. The bun makes up the difference, as it was an excellent bun. The chili cheese fried were awesome, although I suggest you ask for them extra crispy, as mine could have used a bit more time in the fryer basket. The "Tiki" bar on the patio serves a great selection of drinks, at pretty reasonable prices. The bartender is super nice, and as usual, there is a pretty funny cast of characters sitting at the bar. Making it a festive time!

Great freshly prepared flavorful eye-appealing food served with care in a beautiful casual setting by the beach. Large portions. Eat at the shaded outside tables or take treats right to your beach spot. Though lines at ordering windows may be long, you can look over the extensive posted menu. Not for anyone in a rush. When at a window, courteous, efficient, and very friendly staff will provide personal, patient, and individualized attention to you (e.g., "wheat, white, or rye", "toasted or plain", "toppings", etc). See the entertainment schedule. Facilities include outdoor bar, cold showers to rinse off sand and salt, rest rooms, changing room, lots of souvenirs and beach "stuff", beach chair and umbrella rental. Right at the end of the Manatee causeway to Anna Maria Island. On very busy days, parking can be challenging. The lot is patrolled, so pay attention to "No Parking" signs.

I loved this place up until the other day. We bring our kids here all the time for the beach and to eat. The other day we spent over $60 on food and drinks. As we were finishing the kids had already drank their sodas so I went up to see if we could get some waters and they were extremely rude! They asked if I was going to order anything else and I told them we already had. They made such a big deal over water like it was the one thing at their cafe that was going to make or break them. If water is such a big deal then why dont you at least charge for the cup instead of making a big deal over it?! It was quite ridiculous to me to treat paying customers horribly because they asked for water? I will not spend another dime at that place if thats how they treat customers!

Anna Maria Island is a nice beach to visit, its very clean and overall has a family-oriented vibe.... You can purchase food, snacks, ice cream and drinks at the shops.... You can purchase alcoholic beverages at the bar and stay at the bar with them.... Pretty water and nice shells to collect!!!! I would reccomend to anyone visiting the area and the locals know how great it is already!!!! Parking is so-so, if you come early youre sure to get a close spot!!!! I am definitely going again!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The atmosphere is nice, but very, very overpriced for what they are serving. Four in our party and we ordered chicken tenders (2 orders), a burger, and a kids meal plus 4 small fountain drinks for around $45. There are no refills on their overpriced (2.15 for a small) fountain drinks (although she told me there were when we ordered). Its heat and serve food, but if you are ok with that and the price suites you, its kind of neat to eat at a table in the sand.

We were very disappointed. We had read other reviews and were looking forward to eating there. I think that all the positive reviews are just based on the beach where it is located. The food was subpar at best. We arrived at 6:30pm to order dinner. They were in such a hurry to get us out of there. They close at 8pm and had everything put away at 7pm. This place is self serve, so, if you need napkins after 7, good luck. This is nothing more that a tourist trap.

Laid back tropical atmosphere. The beach offers lots of sun and beautiful sand....there are also trees for those people that would like to sit and enjoy the scenery without being in the sun. The cafe is affordable and offers delicious fare. There is live entertainment every night of the week and of course the big attraction around here is the sunsets every evening. Fun for everyone. Take the time to visit.... youll have a blast!

Eine der wenigen wirklichen Strandbars auf Anna Maria Island. Füße im Sand, kühles Bier von der Bar, grandioser Sonnenuntergang, Livemusik, Essen wird an den Tisch gebracht, super .
