We came for Sunday breakfast. This was a bad idea. We waited for 40 minutes even so there were empty tables. The server came promptly and took a coffee order but returned with cold and stark coffee. A few observations as we waited for our food: The staff looks dirty and unkempt, not clean or crisp. The tables were not... More

There are two entrances to this place. One leads you to the tike bar area. There you will stand, mill about, wonder aimlessly looking for someone to tell you what you're supposed to do to get served. The other entrance leads you into the restaurant (not!) and there you will find a hand written wipe board sign telling you to,... More

Went to the Gulf Drive Cafe for 3 meals while in Anna Maria Island and all were fantastic! From breakfast to dinner, it was delish!!

We are local people, and we have used this place for years, but not anymore! Just some basic.. 15 min to get seated... ok for a popular place 75 min for food... Not acceptable Food was cold...

Stopped here for Mother's Day breakfast. It was terrible. We waited 50 minutes to be seated, then when we finally got seated and ordered, it took forever for the food to arrive. Finally, hubby got what looked like two rock hard golf balls on a muffin with raw Canadian bacon and some mystery sauce on top. I got a cold... More

We have been coming to Bradenton Beach for more than twenty years. We always would go to the Cafe for breakfast. They have now expanded with cool looking tiki huts. But the Cafe has completely lost it's appeal. Poor service. We saw our waitress only twice. Had to flag down other waitresses to get anything. They got the order wrong.... More

We chose this restaurant for breakfast after another traveler said they had waited an hour to dine here and gave up ... so we thought it must be good! We went before 9am on Sunday and beat the crowd - our table was a step from the sand on their deck - it was a wonderful experience we'd highly recommend!

I Love grouper and eat it endlessly when I travel to FL. Take it from me, it's very dry and tasteless here. I was greeted very nicely upon arrival but then attempting to order was another matter...everything took forever and I had a lot of time, but, at some point, it'sisppointing. I will say, it's a great view of the... More
