So all will know what German food and spirit stands for in today’s world and what it means to enjoy a fantastic Schnitzelhaus™ night.

Tasty, authentic German food and beer. However, service was ridiculous. Bread is served one slice at a time, as if rationed. Three different people, including the owner tried to take our bread plates and butter away from us. In class restaurants, you’re asked “would you like more bread.” This place pretends to be welcoming, but but the staff is intrusive and controlling. We will NOT go back.

So we made the mistake of heading down to restaurants around 6 on Bradenton Beach during spring break. Went to three different places and the waits were '2 hours' (Beach House), 1:40 (Cantina) and 1 hour. Kids and wife were getting hungry and frustrated. About to go home, we run across this place that had seats available. WINNER! But despite this really being the 4th place finisher on places we were interested in, the dinner was a winner.
Kids were able to have food they wanted - pasta for one and a tasty chicken/mushroom dinner for the other - and the wife and I were able to have adult food. We loved the Duo de mer appetizer, the combination of the ingredients was tasty and different than we'd usually try. I had the grouper. I really liked the mango combination with the fish and the wife thought her poulet forestier was nice and moist.
An unexpected place served up a delicious meal that left everyone satisfied with there meal and was served in a relaxed but timely manner.

The sign outside advertising help wanted says it all. If there's a queue, it will be slow moving. Lots of options on the ice cream but overall little variety. After a disappointing walk around Bradenton Beach we felt we deserved an ice cream on the way back to the car parked down by the beach. So we sat on a bench and rested and ate our ice creams - with some difficulty as the spoons were almost useless, having not enough rigidity to scoop up the ice cream until it had melted. And there's the endless, slow moving traffic.......

We visit for ice cream about once a week. We also take home hand-packed quarts of their no-sugar-added black cherry. The BEST no-sugar ice cream I’ve ever had. (And I can’t find that anywhere else)
It’s a family owned place. Really kind, warm hearted service.
They have a repeat customer program to reward regular customers.
Huge selection of Unique flavors and four no-sugar-added flavors.

Tele: 914-896-9737. Best food on Anna Marie Island.
Reviewed By musthavebeachsun - Iowa City, Iowa
First, after reading all the reviews we had high hopes for our dinner. We just couldn’t catch a break with this one. We seated five persons at a little bitty table, even with reservations. Four of us had the seafood soup, it was devoid of flavor and the seafood was scarce. One person had the potato soup and loved it. This is the reason for a 3 vs 2 rating. The wait staff was initially attentive and then disappeared. The food was overpriced and thoroughly underwhelming. Getting a second cocktail was difficult. We left unsatisfied and feeling bewildered by the TA reviews of this restaurant.
We will not return.
7. Island Creperie

Reviewed By Bokononer - Gainesville, Florida
Over the years since our first visit the restaurant has changed ownership and staff, but continues to offer consistently enjoyable French fare in an informal friendly atmosphere. Conveniently located near the pier, but small enough that it could be missed, this is a special treat due to the quality of the savory or the sweet crepes. The buckwheat variety are substantial and nourishing, especially when filled with eggs and meats or seafood. The sweet type will thrill all but the most sugar averse folks. The coffee is strong and tasty, with decaf available for those who cannot take the real deal. All kitchen and serving staff are friendly and helpful.

Secured a nice table up on the outer deck for an early dinner. Was a wonderful day. Beautiful view. Had the lobster dogs (like corn dogs, but lobster!) , bang bang shrimp tacos, and lobster Mac-n-cheese. All dishes were excellent! Will definitely return and recommend!
