For starters, you cannot miss Rod and Reel Pier. It has a rich history of serving good food on Anna Maria Island since 1947. Try their famous grouper sandwiches if you’re craving fresh seafood in the morning. For the main course, their seafood combo of grouper, shrimp, and scallops is a delight. Their main courses come with two choices of side dishes as well.
Check out our featured review of Rod and Reel Pier:
“They serve the freshest seafood, and their portions are enormous for under $30. The service was quick, and the waitress knew the menu and recommended excellent food. Although it can get crowded with tourists, you can visit mid-afternoon for the best seats. It is an interesting place, and I will come back again.” – A.M. 5 stars
