CLOSED – Eat Great Food at the Restaurant Eat Here in Holmes Beach

CLOSED – Eat Great Food at the Restaurant Eat Here in Holmes Beach

Sorry, Eat Here is closed permanently. See below, Beach Bistro a sister restaurant on Anna Maria Island.

Don’t let the name confuse you! There is a restaurant here on Anna Maria Island that is actually called “Eat Here”. Located in Holmes Beach, Eat Here serves a variety of dishes in a casual, comfortable environment. This restaurant is owned by Sean Murphy, who also owns the Beach Bistro. So you know you can expect a good time and great food!


On the menu you will find fresh seafood, local farm products, pizzas, tacos, and more delectable bites. A few of their menu items include; Seattle Style Grilled Cheese, Gulf Coast Seafood Stew, and Lobster & Shrimp Tacos. Makes my mouth water just mentioning these dishes.

Eat Here is open for Dinner everyday of the week, from 5PM – 10PM. Since they offer lunch and dinner options, you may need to stay somewhere on the Anna Maria Island. Island Real Estate Vacations has some in Holmes Beach that you could walk or bike from such as the three bedroom Harrington Bungalow 6 or the beachfront luxury condo Vista Grande 1.

Address:
5315 Gulf Dr
Holmes Beach, FL, 34217

The Red Barn Flea Market in Bradenton

The Red Barn Flea Market in Bradenton

Located in Bradenton, Florida, is an immense shopping center known as the Red Barn Flea Market. This place is massive, seriously, it might just take you a couple days to get through!

With more than 600 flea market booths and shops you’ll need to devote a couple hours to cover the full 145,000 sq. ft. complex (80,000 of this space being air-conditioned). With so much to do it may be better to plan out your routes ahead of time with this handy market guide and  market map.

The Red Barn Flea Market also has an awesome food court area. Get some kettle corn, jerky, Italian ice, and so much more! Make sure you stop by Miller’s Snack Shack and Meaney’s Mini-Donuts for more delicious treats.

Every Friday and Saturday they have live music in the Main Food Court, and they also do Garage Sale Weekends where you have even more of a chance of finding a hidden treasure.

The Red Barn Flea Market is in East Bradenton and about a 25-30 minute drive from Anna Maria Island. It is definitely worth spending a day, or two, checking out everything it has to offer.

If you visit the Island often, you should do yourself a favor and visit the Red Barn Flea Market.
