HOLY SMOKED!!!!! And the Oscar goes too? Anna Maria Oyster Bar!!! Ladies and gentlemen, seriously, if you want to taste the best... oysters in America, travel down here and try theirs!

Our server yesterday was so friendly and attentive. We loved the fish and shrimp dishes. Cooks are very quick, so the food all... arrived promptly. Read more

Great reasonably priced seafood with good portions in a casual environment. Indoor and outdoor dining - they let us bring our... dogs on the patio too! The picture is of the trio sample platter - peel and eat shrimp, tuna tataki, and plump raw oysters. Read more

My sister and I were recommended the Oyster Bar by a local. We were told the Grouper fish sandwich was amazing. I ordered it... blackened with a side of cheese grits and coleslaw. Probably one of the best fish sandwiches I've ever had! The coleslaw andcheese grits were outstanding as well. For our appetizers we ordered the gator bites and calamari. They were meaty, breadednicely and had great flavor. I ordered a Rum Runner for my beverage and it was really tasty! I could only drink one as it wasvery strong (no complaints!) We will definitely be making this a staple in our vacations down to AMI. I gave it 4/5 starsbecause our waiter was extremely distracted by nonwork things but we had 2 other gentlemen check in on us and help with thingswe needed. Read more

Great experience and service. Get all the Oyster options. Grandma Georgie's Chipotle Oysters are FIRE. Their raw oysters are... plump. Parmesan Oysters are amazing. Others- Tuna Stack was refreshing. Jalapeno Blitz was unique. Read more

Overall the food at Anna Maria Oyster bar was less than average. The bright spot to our meal was the coconut shrimp and the hush... puppies. The popcorn shrimp was a little soggy and tasted like it wasn?t very fresh. The blackened grouper sandwich was quitesoggy and hard to eat. The clam strips were decent but salty. Kim, the waitress was very nice. Overall, a subpar diningexperience. Read more
