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... Not acceptable Food was blend - defrosted meat staying ing the fridge too long. We complained and the dish was just removed. No... More

We go to anna maria. Every year and have always loved the gulf drive cafe,they have expanded it,without adding help.we waited 45 minutes just for coffee, the other people at my table had finished their drinks while our coffee was brewing,they act like you Are bothering them. We thought it was just a bad day tried for lunch the next... More

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.

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.

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

We love the Gulf Drive Cafe and yes they might be a little slow with service but the waiters and staff were great. We stayed for 3 weeks in Anna Maria and went to the Kokonut Hut every day. It is so beautiful there and we loved being laid back and seeing the sunset everynight. If you want more then... More

How can you take a perfect location like this and fail? Well, that's exactly what will happen here unless they do an about face. We've been here a few times from October thru May, and watched the slow progress on their new addition. Each visit has left much to be desired as far as service goes. I chalked up the... More
