Beach House Restaurant Bradenton, FL

The Beach House Restaurant in Bradenton, FL is easily one of the most popular choices among locals and tourists alike. Situated right on the sand with an unbeatable ocean view, Beach House is a can’t miss option among seafood restaurants in Bradenton, FL. Stop by for lunch or dinner and treat yourself to a crab cake, seafood gumbo, fish tacos, and more.

French Table

This family bistro will transport you to the South of France – both with their menu offerings and unique atmosphere. If you’re looking for something different than the many seafood restaurants in Bradenton, FL, stop by to try out their authentic French dishes like Magret de Canard au Miel (sauteed duck breast served with honey sauce, potatoes au gratin, and fresh vegetables) or Coq au vin (chicken cooked in red wine with carrots, mushrooms, and sauteed potatoes.)

Smoqehouse

BBQ on the beach? It’s a very real thing at Smoqehouse, but don’t be fooled into thinking they haven’t embraced their tropical location. Menu items like The Islander (smoked chicken and ham with grilled pineapple, pepper jack, and teriyaki mayo) offer a unique take on the BBQ traditions of the Midwest, where owners Andy and Heidi hail from.

Wicked Cantina

Wicked Cantina is on a delicious mission to bring Austin-style Tex Mex to Bradenton, and we’re big supporters of their cause! The entire menu is made fresh in-house on a daily basis, making way for perfectly crisped, bacon-wrapped jalapeno shrimp, expertly-spiced tacos and fajitas, and even a unique Tex Mex burger that’s piled high with unbelievably fresh salsa.

Blue Marlin Seafood

Searching for more seafood restaurants in Bradenton, FL? Blue Marlin is a true local gem, loved as much for their upscale yet casual comfortable atmosphere as they are for their locally-caught seafood dishes which can be prepared a number of ways, ranging from crusted with parmesan bread crumbs to roasted and coated with crushed pecans and honey butter.
