The Ugly Grouper - Anna Maria Island, FLA

From the way y’all are dressed it looks like the weather is finally warmer. That was a crazy looking piece of artwork . The food looked good.

Another fun and unique place…we always enjoy trying new restaurants, especially when it is recommended by others who had a great dining experience. The icing on the cake for sure is having a wonderful and outgoing server. It’s hard to find now, but they are out there Derrick, your sense of humor is contagious😊…Thanks for sharing yet another fun filled dining moment. Hope to visit Florida again. We’ve only been once..25 years ago on a cruise..we flew into Ft Lauderdale and flew back from Miami…so only have memories of both airports. As mentioned earlier, a dear friend lives in Port Richey FL, so hoping to see her in the near future. Have a safe trip back to NC. God Bless.

Food looked good and yes that's one cool ugly fish 😂 that fish taco would be what I would get

Your wife is Darlin, Just Saying!!! Your a lucky man. HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU AND YOURS.

I love your passion and how supportive yall are of eachother! I wish there were more AMI vids! So good

My daughter's go here to AMI every year and they both adore the Ugly Grouper Restaurant! We all have been going to AMI for the past 20+ years, because my mom and dad lived in Bradenton.onky 10-12 minutes away. ( : Sadly, my mom and dad are both passed, now, but my girls still have gone back yearly! Living the good life on AMI! It is the best! I was just there last July and need to book a visit again soon! ( : Holy moly, both of your meals are enormous! No wonder my girls love it there! ( :

Your meal looked delicious! I’ve found anytime there’s live music, especially on the beach, it gets busy and loud. Not a bad thing…but you’d better not leave your table. Lol I’ve had that happen before. Y’all look great! Glad you’re having fun

Thanks for the shout-out! The prices appear to be higher than when we were there last year! Loved the info on the Big Ugly Grouper. We thought we were going to lose it when they cleared your table off when you went over to look at the grouper. Glad they didn't seat anyone else. So glad that y''all enjoyed the food since we told you about it. Would hate to send you somewhere you did not like. Both of the meals looked great and the portion sizes were generous. Which burger did you like best? The one here or the waygu burger? Love the closing! lol

I live in FL and love grouper but it has become so expensive. Those prices seemed better than the places that charge market price. Have you been to Fried Green Tomatoes in Juliette, GA? You really need to go there sometime and do a review. All the food is so good.

Ugly food always taste best. Pineapple coleslaw sounds like the next big thing.

Hello have been enjoying your videos. We will be traveling to Bradenton and Anna Maria Island in late September for a wedding. How are the beaches, tourists, and temperatures for this time of year?

Hi both. Just wondering after watching all of your dining reviews in AMI whether Starfish remains your number 1? Where do The Ugly Grouper and Tide Tables sit in the rankings? Thanks Jamie

You missed the evening lights and the live music. But the prices... uggh...... the prices are a reflection of what a restaurant like that is doing in this high inflation economy in a tourist destination. In other words, caution.... it's expensive vs the quality of food, which was... meh... especially if you are bringing a group because it'll put a dent in your vacation budget! So it was a "one-and-done" box check for us, but we wouldn't be going back.
