Classic burgers, onion rings, and frosted beer mugs at a cash-only Holmes Beach counter that has been here since 1952. You come for a counter burger and a cold mug, not a dinner reservation. Skinny's has been the island's Mid-Island Drive In since 1952, still run by the original owners' grandchildren, a few steps from the public beach.

What they're known for

Classic burgers, onion rings, and frosted beer mugs at a cash-only Holmes Beach counter that has been here since 1952.

What makes it unique

It sits directly across Gulf Drive from West Coast Surf Shop and across the street from Manatee Public Beach.

The vibe

A cash-only burger counter on Holmes Beach Gulf Drive, across from Manatee Public Beach — frosted mugs, onion rings, and the same family line since it was the Mid-Island Drive In in 1952.

What to order

Food: A cheeseburger, hamburger, or bacon burger with onion rings — those are the plates the island listing actually names. No prices are posted online, so confirm at the counter.

Drink: A frosted mug of beer, or wine if you want it — that is what the island listing puts on the bar.
