We set out on the patio. It was extremely windy. The food was ok. The music was ok. The service was ok. Very busy! It wasn't any place special but it was ok.

Unpleasant Encounter at Gulf Drive CafeThe parking attendant at Gulf Drive Cafe on Anna Maria Island was rude and unprofessional. We wanted to park,eat lunch with my sisters and then sit on the beach. He did not greet us upon arrival and was confrontational, refusing to let us bring a backpack with towels and sunscreen to the cafe.When we asked him why, he snapped, the attendant escalated the situation, invoking religious curses on Easter Sunday, we were shocked.We told him on the spot that we are going to inform management about his unexpectible behavior,and he immediately informed us that his dad is the owner.This type of poor customer service can significantly harm the cafe's reputation and deter future customers. I provided direct feedback to the cafe management about the attendant's unacceptable behavior, he said “Do you want me to fire my son”?He left me speechless, without even apologizing!We left shocked with the lack of respect towards customers.We actually had planed to spend the day in Gulf drive, eat, drink & see the sunset.Of course it was a plus that the owner was Greek, we never imagined being cursed off by his son.

Waited so long for our food which was tepid when it arrived. Asked for ketchup and finally got it from another table. You truly go here for the view more than the food, I think. We asked what the cost was for a parking day pass so that we could spend time on the beach when our grandkids arrived the following week. We were told it was $20 and felt that was a good deal. When we went back the next week we were told the day pass was $60. I think they are concentrating more on drinks at the Kokonut Hut than on the quality of the food.

Vibe was definitely awesome. Our server was extremely busy and did not make it to our table enough and I had an issue with my dish, but he was really friendly and apologetic. They took it off my bill because I was unable to eat it. So they accommodated considering, which was appreciated. The rest of the table enjoyed the food and I still tipped well. Timing just threw things off. I'd definitely still go back next time I'm on the island!

It's the outdoor beach bar you can go casual or with a wet suit from swimming. Sunsets are spectacular as your right on the beach sand. Food is ok and average.

This use to be my favorite place to enjoy the beach and have drinks with my friends but this time a man come to me when I was parking because I dropped my handicap aunt at the door and he tells me that I have to pay $40 because I was going to the beach with my friends even if I explained him that we are going to the cafe he tells me that his going to town my car, for my surprise when I ask for a manager at the cafe he was the one and tells me that his job was given hard time to the customer, what a great lesson I learn today manager are training now to give a hard time to customers instead of being there to please and make you feel good and make your visit an unforgettable experience. This is unacceptable.
