Hurricane Irma Victory Party Update from AMOB

Important Update from AMOB We’re so glad to hear that most of our friends & family encountered minimal damage from Hurricane Irma. Our thoughts are with those of you still struggling to get home, who are experiencing substantial damage to their home, have no power… or worst of all…. no Internet (just kidding)! Many of you have inquired about the status of our restaurants… thank you so much for your concern. There was little to no physical damage to any of the four Anna Maria Oyster Bars. Some of the locations have power, some do not. Our Ellenton location will

HURRICANE IRMA UPDATE FROM AMOB

Hurricane Irma Update from AMOB

While we all love a great Hurricane Party here at the Anna Maria Oyster Bars, we also know that we need to realize that Hurricane Irma is not a lady to be trifled with. Not sure I’ve met a lady to trifle with yet…but… With that in mind we are making plans to keep our Oyster Bar family safe and sound this weekend. The Anna Maria Oyster Bars will be closing Saturday and Sunday and hopefully reopening sometime on Monday!  We’ll play that by ear as the storm hopefully passes and leaves us all safe and sound, with only suffering from

12 Cheers for 20 Years: July

  Happy birthday, Anna Maria Oyster Bars… Volume 7 I sure do appreciate the job our military does for all of us and find it hard to imagine being away from family and friends being stationed in a far-away land defending my country. I know the work that Manatee Operation Troop Support (MOTS) does sending care packages to our enlisted men and women from our area with items to remind them of home and to let them know we’re all thinking of them…and thanking them and we appreciate them… that’s why this month our birthday celebration is honoring and helping

WHAT A FUN FIRST-EVER AMOB SUMMER FEST!

What a FUN first-ever AMOB Summer Fest!

Rain couldn’t dampen the FUN at our first-ever Summer Fest! We had a wonderful time at Summer Fest on Saturday, and we hope you did, as well! A guest absolutely made my day when he emailed me with some feedback complimenting our staff, the experience, and the delicious food. I’m so happy to hear that our team delivered a wonderful experience, rain or shine. “When can we do it again? Can you make it rain on cue again? Or, perhaps not.” Definitely NOT on the “rain on cue” request… but on behalf of Matt, Lynn, Nicole & the Summer Fest
