★★★★★ 5.0 Lainie Scott · Feb 2026

Absolutely check out The Kokonut Hut! Great atmosphere on the beach with amazing sunset views. We stopped here by happy accident while driving by after dinner when we saw live music. There are two parking lots across the street so ample parking. The live music was great, we came back here several times and each evening had live music (seemed to wrap up between 7:30-8pm). The atmosphere is wonderful, right on the beach. One night was chilly so they had plenty of heaters to keep everyone warm. The drinks, food, desserts were great. Didn't realize they had breakfast so we stopped here one morning, there was barely anyone there so I'm guessing most don't realize it's a breakfast option because the breakfast was amazing with a vast menu. I didn't get any pictures of the food but the banana choc

Great on the beach bar and restaurant. The service was exceptional.. The food was great. And how do you beat an incredible view of the ocean. But, just like any tourist spot on the island it is going to be expensive. Our adult children and their wives all had lunch and adult beverages and our bill was over $300.00. The actual cost of the food wasn't bad but of course the drinks are high. But not more than any other restaurant around.

Beautiful location! They have parking which is key. We were here visiting with a soccer team. They accommodated our large party and being able to let all the kids play in the sand to get their energy out was great and allowed the parents to relax and enjoyed a drink. My husband loved the fish tacos and spent his time in the shade with the team and I spent my time on the beach soaking in the view and the sunshine.

This place is it! Huge bar with a bunch of seating, tables over looking the beach, huts to provide shade after a long day in the beach. The food is great! Had a cheeseburger (incredible) the first day and the Anna Maria salad the next! Service is attentive and friendly! Delicious food and drinks! (Pina colada in a coconut!)

The Kokonut Hut at Bradenton Beach is an absolute win. I ordered the blackened grouper tacos, and they were spot on—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and cooked just right. You can taste the quality in every bite. My wife went with the double smash burger, and it was everything you want in a burger: juicy, flavorful, and done right. The atmosphere is what really seals it. Laid-back, beachy, relaxed—no rush, no hype, just good food and good vibes. It’s the kind of place where you sit back, breathe, and actually enjoy the moment. And the best part? When you’re done eating, you step outside and finish the evening with a walk on the beach. That’s hard to beat. If you’re in Bradenton Beach, this place is a must.
