edpaffjr.comMy family and I are spending some time in the beautiful Anna Maria Island, Florida weather while kids are doing their distance learning. The first house we stayed in was very close to Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe, which sits on the public Manatee Beach. We headed that way for breakfast our first morning on the island. Orders are placed at a window and a number given to place on any of the well-spaced out tables in the sand. The food comes quickly and is surprisingly good! So good we had lunch at the same spot later that same day.
Island Wrap
For lunch, I ordered the Island Wrap with blackened chicken ($7.99). The wrap was packed with delicious blackened chicken and the chutney added some sweetness to compliment the spicy seasoning. I also ordered onion rings ($6.99) which seemed a little pricey upon ordering, but the serving size was so generous that it was enough for our entire family!
Onion Rings
We also had carryout one other afternoon last week. This time I had a solid chicken salad wrap ($7.99) and sweet potato fries ($7.99). Again the serving of sweet potato fries was huge. These fries were more like curly chips, thinly spiral sliced potatoes. I didn’t like these as much as the onion rings, but the marshmallow dipping sauce was interesting. My wife liked the blackened fish tacos ($9.99) so much she ordered them both times. The kids were huge fans of the grilled cheese ($4.99) with fruit or fries. Overall the food was good, the service was fast, and their outdoor dining space is very nice!
