Take an old-school Florida fish house, set it right on the Anna Maria Sound waterfront, and craft a personality-filled menu available for both indoor and outdoor dining. The outcome is Bradenton’s vibiest restaurant, where we’re serious about flavor and atmosphere and never about formalities.

Floridays is one of my favorite waterfront spots around here. I’ve actually pulled up on my jet ski and had lunch here about five different times now, and every single visit has been top notch. The food and drinks have always been excellent and the atmosphere is hard to beat.
The view is absolutely beautiful overlooking the water. They do have indoor seating, but I always choose to sit outside because the waterfront vibe is just too good to pass up. It’s relaxing, scenic, and a perfect place to enjoy a meal.
The whole place is very well kept too — the bathrooms were clean, the seating areas were tidy, and everything felt organized and welcoming. It’s clear they take pride in the restaurant.
If you’re looking for a great place to grab lunch or drinks with an awesome water view, Floridays is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely keep coming back.

Decorated beautiful for the holidays minimally but very clean and inviting! Large deck on the back with a Tiki cover. I enjoyed the Wagu Sandwich and the bread was perfect. Fries were a little underwhelming for me.
My husband said Grouper Sandwich was pretty good….not the best but good. We stopped in later in evening after the beach. Convenient spot for a quick bite.

We went to this great little space on an unusually cold day. We had apps, drinks & Irish coffees to warm up on the huge enclosed patio with such a great view. We ❤️finding places we can bring our little pups along,& this was a gem.

The frozen cocktail drinks very dissatisfied and so expensive , the shrimps had a very unpleasant taste, like mangroves. I didn’t like the food or the drinks; the only good thing about that place was the view.

Loved everything about this spot—great food, friendly service, and unbeatable waterfront views!
We came with a group and shared apps like loaded chicken nachos, peel-and-eat shrimp, calamari, ahi poke, and grouper bites. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the margaritas were on point. The staff was super welcoming, and the laid-back, coastal vibe made it easy to settle in and enjoy golden hour over the Anna Maria Sound.
Perfect post-beach stop or sunset dinner spot—can’t wait to go back!

We’d been looking forward to eating here for a while. Pulled in just before it poured down rain. The hostess was awesome and we sat inside. .My husband is a celiac so we had some questions. I found more information online than our server could provide or knew but she tried to find answers. We put our order in, hubby’s included a Caesar side salad. The salad didn’t come out, our server didn’t come back for 30+ minutes. We finally asked for the manager to find out if wed be getting our food and he let us know that the power had gone out in the kitchen so they were behind. Totally understandable but it would have been helpful if our server had mentioned it…or stopped by, or flipped us the bird when she flew past. Husband ordered Waygu steak rare and fish (surface and turf). The steak was absolutely buried in salt, you couldn’t taste the beef and it was way overcooked. A food runner brought the food and still our server didn’t come and check on us. We flagged down a different server who tracked her down. The steak wasn’t edible so he ended up NOT EATING after sitting at the table for an hour and a half. Keepin mind this was advertized as Waygu, why bury it in seasonings it doesn’t need. I had blackened swordfish, which was decent, never got my second side and we left extremely disappointed and hungry. Best part of the meal were our drinks. After the bad service and worse food, we watched our server take great care of two tables behind us which made it worse. We make every effort to be respectful and friendly, try to be appreciative of staff at any restaurant. What an utterly disappointing visit. Still cost just shy of 100 dollars…for two drinks and a piece of swordfish served with mahshed potatoes. Now that I’ve typed this all out, its even more irritating.

Excellent lobster quesadilla, oysters Rockefeller, & crab cakes. The house made chips are delicious. They are cut just the right size & have a beautiful texture. Overlooking the water in the outdoor dining was a bonus. The drinks were delicious & service was impeccable.

I had a decent experience at Floridays Bar and Grill. The food was good—not amazing, but solid enough to enjoy a meal. Service was friendly, though a bit on the slow side, especially when waiting on drink refills. There was also a faint smell from the nearby water that was a little off-putting at first, but it didn’t ruin the overall vibe. The atmosphere was relaxed and the location has its charm. With a few small improvements, this place could be great.

A nice experience at lunch today.
First there were 13 of us and Katie did a great job.
Clam chowder, grouper and calamari were reported as excellent. My Cuban was good. The Nawlins burrito was also reported as good.
Portions were all pretty large.
A good experience. Recommend you stop in.
PS I am never a fan of a mandatory tip added to the bill.
