Good eating, good times

Here's a couple of real local favorites on Anna Maria Island, Sharkey's and Rotten Ralph's. Both offer up some real good home cooking and thirst-quenching drinks but it's that certain little extra something which makes these two just a little bit more special.
Sharkey's is a great place for live music, and if you drive past on the main road which runs from north to south on Anna Maria you'll go past it just after the main shopping center in Holmes Beach (the one with Publix in it). Carry on south for Rotten Ralph's which calls the renovated Bradenton Beach pier home. Come for the wonderful breakfast as the boats chug past you out to sea and enjoy the quiet of an Anna Maria morning. You won't regret it.
Check out their websites below, and don't forget to tell them we sent you...

Sharkey’s Sea Grill
Offering great food for reasonable prices in a relaxed atmosphere, Sharkey’s is a big favorite with the locals. And it’s not hard to see why, with five different fish each day and specials including Seafood gasparilla, Michigan pork chops, Key West grouper and lobster tails. http://www.sharkysseagrill.com/

Rotten Ralph’s
Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, Rotten Ralph’s offers simple, hearty food to locals and tourists alike. Enjoys the views from their open-air deck or through the huge windows surrounding the restaurant. http://www.rottenralphs.com
