Top 12 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in in Bradenton, FL

Heather Bryan This place was soooo good! I am gluten free and there were lots of delicious options. The girls working there are so nice. My husband (not gluten free) ordered the “Big Green Tractor Sandwich” on regular bread and I ordered the “Bacon Me Crazy” on a gluten free wrap and the “California Girls Refresher” to drink. It was a quiet lunch because it was so good! My husband loved his and I loved my gluten free lunch, win win!! There were a few people who ordered to go while we were there, but my husband and I ate in and it was quite but not too quite. I ordered gluten free doughnuts to go along with a “Starburst Yogurt Parfait.” The place is cute and a vibe! I love it and will definitely be back! The pictures are all gluten free things I got!

Khandy Wells Dennis was our waiter and he was THE BEST! The food was beautiful and tasty. Very high quality. The music was soft and relaxing. The owner came over to say hello. I will be going back soon. This was the perfect place for a soothing evening. I loved it!

Adelina Baggett Exceptional dining! From the moment you walk in, the restaurant is absolutely stunning. Very clean while still feeling like you just walked into grandmas house for breakfast. The walls are this beautiful, natural wood and the windows let in so much natural light; it is absolutely beautiful! Once youre seated, which in my case was right away even tho they were busy with the breakfast rush, the staff was quick to take our drink order and bring them out. I wish I could remember my servers name so I could give her a shout out, but unfortunately names go in one ear and out the other for me most of the time. Regardless, she was exceptional! Our drinks stayed filled and service was very quick. I came during the breakfast rush, but they didnt let that stop them from amazing service! Our food was bright out hot and fresh, and sooo quickly after we ordered it! I was genuinely shocked, it was so impressive. Our server gave us our check quickly (I cant tell you how many times Ive had to wait 15+ minutes just to get my check!!) and we were able to pay and leave with no hassle! Having tap to pay as an option was super helpful. I highly HIGHLY reccomend this place!!! The food was delicious and fresh; the restaurant was clean and running like a well oiled machine; the staff were all very nice and well trained. I will definitely be returning!

Lori Ann Kelleher Traverna Toscana was an absolute delight from start to finish. The service was warm, attentive, and elevated the entire experience. Every dish we tried was outstanding—easily making this the best restaurant I’ve been to in Florida so far. My husband had the Mahi Mahi which was perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. The (Rigatoni) Vodka Rose was rich and creamy with just the right balance of tang and depth, while the meatballs were tender, flavorful, and truly authentic. And the bread—hands down the best I’ve ever had—warm, fresh, and unforgettable. We ended the night with the light, fluffy cheesecake topped with strawberry compote, which was the perfect sweet finish to an already exceptional meal. On top of the incredible food and service, everything was fairly priced, which made the experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, Traverna Toscana is a must-visit.

Sherry Conrad Great little Italian joint with a comprehensive wine list. Dont let the location fool you! This restaurant puts a lot of flavor in their little piece of Bradenton. Highlights included the caprese salad, cheese wheel pasta, and of course the tiramisu!

Jill Mccloughan My husband and I decided to check this restaurant tonight and it was delicious!! The food had so much flavor. I had the seafood ravioli and there was a ton of lobster in it. No skimping!! My husband and steak marsala which was slightly overcooked but he said the flavor made up for it. The portions are perfect. I don’t like when there is too much. Our waitress Ilene was attentive and so sweet. We will go back really soon!

Dana Wiwczar We had a wonderful experience here! Highly recommend Food, drinks & service were wonderful and met our expectations

Irina Yefremova Last night at Pier 22 in Bradenton was a truly memorable way to celebrate our anniversary. The staff was attentive and professional throughout our meal. We had made a reservation, which is highly recommended for weekend evenings or special occasions, and they truly made us feel celebrated. The menu has variety of great choices. The Shrimp Francescano was perfectly prepared and flavorful. Frozen ice cream cake was a yummy dessert that simply exceeded expectations. Highly recommended restaurant in Tampa Bay.

edwar lujan-hernandez ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a great experience at The Barnyard. The smash burger was perfectly seasoned, and the fries were exactly how I like them—hot and crispy. The chicken tenders were clearly hand-breaded and paired amazingly well with their house-made honey mustard. Our server, Tay, was attentive and super helpful when answering questions about the menu, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is cozy and small, and you can truly feel the love that goes into the place. To top it off, the owner came out personally to greet us and make sure everything was good, which really stood out. Their price point is similar to fast food restaurants. So if you’re feeling a good meal that won’t hurt your wallet def eat here and not some mass produced chain. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for great food and genuine hospitality

Richard Weir The bartenders were overwhelmed with two large parties and so was the kitchen. Food was great. I had two requests which were denied. 1) I did not want 2 sides and asked to have one salad in lieu of the sides. Denied. I then ordered loaded potato and asparagus. It seems that your cost would have been lower for the salad alone. 2) I asked if there was a 9 oz pour of wine. I do not want two glasses and I am willing to pay extra for a 9oz pour. Why not?

Francesca Angelillo This is the greatest Chinese food place in Bradenton. Truly, no other Chinese food place compares to this one. Most Chinese food places in Bradenton are not the greatest but I’m happy to have found this place. Never disappoints. Even the lunch portions are enough to last two meals. The egg rolls are also like they’re from the county fair! So good!

Matthew and Lisa Wallace This place is SO good! Our first time having Venezuelan food and every single thing we ordered was amazing with so much flavor! The ribs were the best we’ve ever had and I have lived all over the south! The staff treated us like VIP! We will definitely be back! We will also spread the word to our local friends and family, as well as bring our visiting friends and family for awesome, authentic food!
