We love Rotten Ralph's and eat there 2 or 3 times every May The stuffed grouper is delicious and very large portion The beer is always cold and the service is good, remember the wait staff is supposed to be rude that's what the restaurant is all about EVERYTHING IS ROTTEN HERE, the waiter, the service but not the food. more

We ate at the Bridge Street location after going parasailing nearby since it was within walking distance and it was just ok and nothing special, and our server was possibly the rudest we've ever encountered. Make sure if you want separate checks to tell your server before ordering, because we made the mistake of asking halfway through our meal, and... more

I saw a coupon in the local paper and saw that they had "All You Can Eat Fish & Chips" so we decided to try it. What a mistake. The batter on the fish was so full of grease, I had a stomach ache with in minutes. And the fish had no taste what-so-ever. I actually took all the batter... more

I am a Florida resident, just vacationing for the week on the island. We always go to the Sandbar and wanted to try something different. The restaurant looked busy the night before, and is in a prime location. WHAT A HORRIBLE MISTAKE. The food the service, the staff....even the freaking ice tea was bad!!. The food was way overpriced, had... more

This waterfront restaurant is located at a marina on Anna Maria Island. The seafood gumbo is some of the best I've ever had. If you like your gumbo spicy, this one's for you. The decor is nothing to speak of, and the layout seems somewhat cluttered. However, you don't go to Rotten Ralphs for the ambieance, you go for the... more

We had made reservations at another restaurant down the street from Rotten Ralphs the night before. Unfortunately, we had not been told that those were for inside dining only until we arrived. We chose to walk down the street towards the water and check out Rotten Ralph's. We were so glad that we did! My husband enjoyed shrimp with pasta... more

I am a local here and this is one of the worst places to eat on the Island. It is over priced and the food is terrible. Rotten for rotten food and Ralph for what your going to do when you get home. The restaurant was dirty and the service was slow. Be advised of the hype, there are much... more

I have been eating at Rotten Ralphs' for over 15 years now, and in the beginning always enjoyed the 'colorful' waiters and tasty food at fair prices. We recently went back for lunch and were appalled at the greasy, tasteless food served by indifferent and / or downright rude waiting satff. And the bill was a shock! Our food was... more

I only have wonderful reviews for Anna Maria Island........with the exception of Rotten Ralph's. Our dining exprerience was okay...but afterwards......through the night, both myself and my husband woke up to neasea and a feeling of sickness. We vacationed in Florida for 6 weeks and this was the ONLY time we experienced this. This was 2 years ago and we still... more
