Island Grill - Anna Maria Island

WOW! The GPS found this hidden little gem. Pam checked the menu and we were in. Started with Shrimp Ceviche, then for dinner the Cobb Salad, Shrimp & Cheesy Bacon Grits and the Margherita Pizza. It was really good food and our waitress Darlene was very nice and attentive. If you are ever in the area don’t pass this one by.

We were so lucky to find this restaurant. We drove 90 minutes to enjoy the beach but wanted a quick bite first. This was such a nice treat instead of a fast-food like we intended. The restaurant wasn't due to open for another 15 minutes, but the owner let us dine in any way.

We had the restaurant to ourselves and we were treated with such care. This is definitely a place we will visit each time we are back solely because of the quality of customer service. The food was exquisite though. Everything was hot, the presentation was immaculate, and our waiter was very courteous and attentive to our small girls.

My family went here on Christmas Eve, and the food and service were exemplary. My three year old son even got to open a little gift from under the tree. Highly recommended!

Scott and Lynn are delightful, Staff is fabulous. Main courses, chopped salad are all great. My wife wishes there was a variety of veggies. She needs two per meal- no carbs. The squash -all the time- and usually ONLY the squash, doesn't cut it for her. LOVE that they deliver!!!!
2/2020 revised....should have added to this a year ago... After seeing this... Scott has added many more choices for veggies. Couldn't be happier!

First time here and we love it. Will return more frequently.
Okay it's only been 6 days and we returned back to this amazing spot. We actually had the pizza this time as well as the firecracker shrimp. We are definitely very impressed with the customer service and the food here. This is going to be you regularly scheduled weekly visit for us. We are so happy that we found this place and the staff is amazing. I'm so excited to come back here next time next week and order something new off the menu. Everything here is made fresh and I promise you you will not be disappointed.

Great food. You have to make reservations unless you sit at the bar. With that being said, me and my wife drove around the island for 45 minutes looking for food. We had been to the Waterfront in the past, and could not get in. Same with the Beach House. We went here , ordered at the bar and were served within minutes. Other places said 2 hour wait. The food was also great and tasted fresh, just as good as Waterfront and better than Beach House. If you have a small party this is a great place when everywhere else is packed. After eating there, this will be. A future mainstay for us. We had blackened tuna and snapper. Also ordered firecracker shrimp for appetizer. Our food was delicious.

This place is great for a multitude of reasons, but the food is delicious and they deliver to the island!

I had just arrived to Anna Maria after a long drive, my partner and I were relieved to be on vacation, didn't want to go anywhere but also did not want to eat pizza. We found the restaurant delivers and they delivered! I ordered the Snapper and my partner ordered the fish and chips. They were delivered quickly and were so good. I wish I would have taken a picture, but all I have left is an empty container. 10/10 would eat forever.

Absolutely loved the crab stuffed shrimp!!!! Price was definitely reasonable for the taste and portions. Delicious, had me feeling like I'm definitely coming back to try the smothered shrimp and bacon grits.... I'm new to the area and this was my first time visiting. Will highly recommend everyone try this spot. The staff was amazing and friendly, which made me feel right at home. The waitress kept catching me with my mouth full....lol

This is our first trip to the island and after searching fir quite some time for a place that would allow 8 of us to be seated Inside on the spot we landed at Island Grill! We immediately received a friendly greeting and was seated right away. Our waitress was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and super attentive. We had pizzas, Stromboli and even chicken fingers! Everything was made to perfection and served with a smile. I highly recommend this gem! Being that we come from a small Italian town in PA we are used to authentic Italian foods and pizzas. This pizza won’t disappoint in taste. We will return before we end our vacation.

The food was amazing! Presentation and flavor was impeccable. I order a fresh that day red snapper grilled to perfection. It came out cooked whole, grilled perfectly, and with crisp grilled veggies!! Hats off to the chef!! We will return and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food on Anna Marie island.

My family and I ate here tonight for dinner and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Michelle "Bella" was a great server who was attentive and excellent with my 14 month old daughter. The food was the best we've had since being on the island. The chef even came out to greet us to make sure we were enjoying it! I'd give it more stars if I could!

Stetson was a great server. Food was great. Too much for me to eat. Kid said best chicken fingers on this trip. The bread they give out was delicious. Price was cheaper than a chain restaurant. Great music and a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience from the time we walked in with nine people. They were very aware of taking care of the young children in our group first. Not to mention the wine and food suggestions for us "first time Florida visitors" was Spot on!!
This was all during there busy time of spring break..

Thank you for a great experience...We will return in March!

We go here every year on our first night of vacation. The pizza is terrific, the seafood dishes are delicious, and they have a good selection of beer and wine. It's not too crowded, and the staff is friendly. Very good restaurant.

AMAZING! We had oysters, oysters grilled, kids pepperoni pizza, and soup. Oysters are always amazing and the grilled ones are my new favorite. The pizza has an amazing chewy and crisp crust and the sauce is not over powering perfect amount of spices, and the cheese I could eat alone. And that soup omg! it's a creamy chicken noodle with homemade noodles. Let's just say goodbye olive garden.

The meal was incredible! Our wait staff was excellent. However when we arrived we were " scolded" by an arrogant man for not having a reservation. Not a friendly greeting but the ladies made up for it.Not a great first impression. Maybe an attitude adjustment is in order.

The food took longer than expected for good reason- it’s all made in house and the food was amazing! We ordered pizza for the kids but adults ended up eating it because it was so good!! We found this restaurant late In Our vacation but are keeping it in kind for next time- we will be back!

We used Island Grill AMI to cater our small wedding, and everything was absolutely WONDERFUL. Scott did a fantastic job, from clear and timely communications to delicious food to the set up! All of our guests raved about how yummy all the appetizers and pizzas were! Crowd favorite was the Pear and Prosciutto! We would absolutely recommend Island Grill AMI and hope to get back down to AMI soon to try some more menu items!

Nice, friendly, place. We're from out of town on vacation and came in with a group of people and had a really good time.
We ordered a bunch of different items from the menu and everything was fantastic. Prices were reasonable and so was the portion sizes. Overall a very good experience.

We had some of the best meals ever. I had a seared tuna that was amazing. We sat outside, it was wonderful. The service was slow paced, but very friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
