Gulf Drive Cafe

Great views. Good food. Unfortunately always understaffed. Took friends and waited 90 minutes from ordering to get our food. Many came after us and finished their meals and left before we got there. The restaurant did give us a 50% discount on the whole bill which was the right thing to do. We always go back because of the views but not as often as this same experience happens far too often.

Place was tremendous. Had a chance to stop by this restaurant last week and caught a perfect sunset. What a night!! Food was great and location was perfect. if your in the neighborhood stop by , you can thank me later.

One of my favorite spots on the island. Amazing views and delicious food. Go here to enjoy the live music on weekends while watching the sunset. Make sure to try the grouper sandwich and the Malibu bucket!

You will almost certainly have to wait but there are enough places to sit looking at the water so it can actually be sort of relaxing. Host desk manages expectations cleverly by almost always over estimating wait time. Beach side tables create a relaxed sense of letting go. Waitstaff young and energetic and do a good job of covering for kitchen that frequently can't keep up with the volume. Great breakfast and lunch standard choices. Dinner menu has some out of the ordinary options which are well prepared and definitely worth considering. Boom Boom Shrimp and Ahi Tuna, both appetizers, are delicious and more than enough for a light dinner.

we visited Anna Maria island 6 years ago and stayed across the road
On our return to America we drove over from Florida for the day to have a meal here.
Fabulous location
Beautiful seafood my husband and I had lobster and it was delicious. All 5 meals we ordered as a family were exceptionally tasty and fresh
