Anna Maria Oyster Bar Landside
If you want oysters and fried grouper without pretense or a reservation, this works. The patio has live music, the tanks are legitimately distracting, and the price won't wreck you. It's family-friendly in the way that means kids won't feel like mistakes, and the staff treats you like you belong. Go if you want seafood that tastes like the Gulf Coast tastes, not like a concept.

The half-pound Gulf Grouper Sandwich and the chain's best-selling Fish & Chips, served from a spacious dining room with two full-service bars and an outdoor deck.
The building has its own named sports bar built in, The Halfway Lounge, tucked inside the main restaurant.
A big seafood house on 14th Street with two full bars and a built-in sports lounge — more TVs-and-drafts than romantic dinner, with a patio and lawn out back.
Food: The Gulf Grouper Sandwich ($$$) — a half-pound of fresh, never-frozen Florida grouper, the order that anchors the whole AMOB menu; check the live menu for today's price.
Drink: A house margarita or draft beer ($) at The Halfway Lounge, the sports-bar side of the building — cheapest during happy hour.
Friday or Saturday evening if you want live music and don't mind a crowd; Tuesday or Wednesday lunch if you want the same food with actual elbow room.
Order from the Pier Menu—it's a separate thing, and locals know the difference.
