Anna Maria Oyster Bar Landside

Great food! The kaboom shrimp was spicy. The chicken quesadilla was delicious. The alfredo was OK. The Mahi mahi was great. Hushpuppies were amazingly great! Keylime , triple chocolate and turtle cheesecake was also great!

Great location! They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have live music. I am told. They have corn hole set up for guests to play outside. They have two full bars both serving full liquor. They have three dollar margaritas at happy hour. They have some beautiful murals painted throughout. I am told they were painted by one of the staff members. It’s a great environment. They even have a robot that delivers the food sometimes.

I landed at Sarasota Airport after a long flight from Europe. When my family picked me up we decided to check out this restaurant which is next to the airport. The decor and ambiance was cool. Our server Tamra was super friendly and attentive. We ordered oysters for the table and they were large and tasty. The chicken alfredo pasta dish came in a generous portion and my daughter finished it off for lunch the next day. However, she commented that sauce was more buttery than cheesy. The crab cake dinner was one of the specials and it was very good. We ordered the key lime pie for dessert and it was especially tasty. Overall recommend and we'll go back.

We had a club Christmas party there and it was a great venue. The private room fit our needs and our servers were great. The food is always great and the swordfish was quite the flavor filled stand out. And you can't wrong with rhe hush puppies. But if you want to get in the Christmas mood, AMOB Landside gets the win for the beat and most unique decor. They also have a great outside covered deck area and an area for kids and folks to enjoy. The prices are also very good ,with great quality.

Enjoyed a nice lunch before dropping off our daughter and her husband at SRQ. Which is conveniently close by.

Our party of 6 was promptly seated by the friendly staff. Providing us with only 3 menus was promptly corrected once I asked the hostess for more. The only thing to note was the fact that our server seemed forgetful or otherwise distracted. But the menu selection was good, the prices reasonable, the wait time for our food was minimal, and the food was good. Did I mention the staff, especially our server, was friendly.

Gumbo and clam chowder was sampled along with Fish tacos, popcorn shrimp, catfish, flounder, and Italian seasoned shrimp (?) being picked from the generous menu and enjoyed by all. Since I was staying in Venice, I may not be back but only due to the distance. I do believe a location for the North Port area may be in the works though!
