We come out here once a year to visit gma. A customer told me I just have to go to duffys for a burger. Took my family there for the last three years. My wife and I will be there tomorrow. No kid trip. Love the burgers and no hassle service.

Party of two. Packed. Burger and ham/​cheese. Both good. Burger small side, ham and cheese fairly large. Burger was a nice tavern burger, ham and cheese pretty darn good. Cole slaw below average– only thing i wouldn’t recommend.

Great burgers and fries! No wonder this place is so busy!
I hadn’t been to Duffy’s in about 15 years, but, as we just moved to the area, we decided to re-​visit places from our «vacation days with the kids».
The location is much better that when they were closer to Holmes beach… parking is easier and the place is air conditioned! Love, love, love it!

ATTN: NO FRIES OR ONION RINGS.
What a fucking travesty.
Your burger is so juicy.
Your beers are so cold.
Your service is so friendly.
Why cant you follow through?
Its like running a football back for 99 yards and dropping it on the 1 yard line as you cross the end zone.
Who does that?
Ill even look past the «cash only» shtick.
Even though it is 2015 (heard of The Square?).
All the aforementioned is the difference between 3 and 5 stars.
This is a local’s dive bar after all.

Simple review. Great burgers but don’t go if you want to have a conservation. Probably because it is a meet and greet local place the conservation tend to escalate until you can not carry on a conservation. They have a small outside area but … Summer in Fla says «no.»

Burgers were excellent, and although i rarely order a burger it was one of the best I’ve ever had. (Blue cheese all the way which includes fresh onion, tomatoes, and crisp lettuce). As a special they had real collard greens, which is something i order in alot of places. These weren’t chopped, frozen, or over cooked, but real, steamed and perfectly seasoned. I am a regular vacationer in anna maria, but we’d never been here, sorry we missed it all these years.

Pros
1. The burgers are good, they are not the best ever
2. Very «hole in the wall, old Florida» feel
3. You order at the bar Last but not least… Dollar Beers… Ice Cold
Cons
1. There is no Bud Light.
2. There are no Fur-​Burgers (no girls there ever)
3. here are no Freedom Fries

What a wonderful find! I had a great burger which was jalapeño and havarti, and an ice cold Amber bock for such a great price. The staff was extremely friendly, Polli and Nicki help to make the experience warm and inviting. Gotta check it out!

I have been craving a burger from Duffy’s for months, so made a point to make it out to the Island. The place was packed on a Sunday afternoon, but I was met at the door with a hug and a smile. The people that run the place are beyond wonderful – funny, down to earth, and friendly.
I ordered my favorite, a cheeseburger, all the way and potato salad. Duffy’s did not disappoint. My burger was juicy and delicious. I would love get the recipe for that potato salad — creamy and crunchy with lots of flavor.
I am so grateful to know that a killer cheeseburger and a welcoming hug are always available at the other end of the bridge!

Duffy’s is awesome! It’s a local favorite for sure. Big juicy burgers and $ 1 beers are something that should not be taken for granted! This place is awesome if you’re just coming off the beach or if you’re simply craving something cheap and tasty. Three things you need to know: (1) dogs are welcome at their outside seating — park in the back and walk around and you will see it (2) they don’t take credit cards, so bring cash and (3) don’t ask for fries! I love Duffy’s and will always be a frequent customer.

Love love LOVE this place! Duffy’s is the place to go to get a good burger and cold beer for cheap! Don’t go in expecting something fancy — I think it’s an old garage converted into a restaurant/​bar. But that’s what gives it character! Not to mention, I’ve never had a bad sandwich, their sides are fresh — and they even have special sides sometimes! (Last time they had blue crab mac and cheese — YUM!) I usually make a point to stop in when I’m on the island if I’m looking for a quick bite and a refreshing beer to combat the summer (aka all year long) heat.

Needs to clean the tables outside in the deck area. They are dirty and dusty. Bar gets busy at lunch time. So busy that even the inside people have to place a food order at the bar. Need to hire more people so they can take orders at tables.

I am very surprised to see all the negative reviews. How can you give such terrible reviews to a place that gives you amazing cold beer for a dollar? You can’t find that anywhere else. And as for the burgers they are so juicy and delicious! So flavorful one of my favorite burgers I’ve had here in Florida. This is a beach town shack and it serves it’s purpose. I loved it.

5 stars? I went to this place because of all the 5 stars and people raving about the great burgers.
They were good, they were ok, certainly not amazing. There really was nothing special to talk about regarding the burgers. They were not terrible, but they were not wonderful. I had the potato salad as well. It was pretty meh as well.
The place itself is just a typical bar. If this is the best burger on the island, the other places must really be dreadful.
If I were vacationing in the area again, I probably wouldn’t return to this place.
It was merely average.

The food here was okay. There are no french fries so if you’re jonesing for fries with your burger, go somewhere else. We came here to compare Duffy’s against Skinnys. The burgers were okay. They do have a nice variety of burgers and other options. I got the mushroom and swiss burger. Nothing too special. The potato salad was okay along with the coleslaw. The beer was cold! Bonus there. Overall, just mediocre. I’d recommend Skinnys over this place.

I have heard so much about Duffy’s Tavern from my friends, and that it was one of the top 10 hamburgers places around.
It was a great disappointment. First, there is no table service. You are expected to clean off the table from the patrons before you, go to the bar and place your order, then go to pick up your order.
It was a pre-​form hamburger patty, nothing special! They do not serve french fries, a hamburger without fries?! I did have the cole slaw for the side and it was good.
I do not understand the rave reviews, unless the other reviewers have had pretty lousy hamburgers at other establishments.
They do not take credit cards either, cash only.
Been there, done that!

I don’t understand how the reviews on Unilocal for this place could be so off target. The burgers are mediocre at best. They taste like the pre-​pattied frozen burgers you get at the store. The limp bacon and too strong onion on the Texas burger didn’t help. It is cash only and a tiny place with beat up furnishings. On the flip side, and the only reasons for two stars, the beer is cold, Stella on tap, it’s relatively cheap and the service was friendly.

I’ve been coming to AMI since I was an infant. When Duffy’s was at it’s original location (currently skinnys now) it was amazing. Since Duffy’s relocated, it’s still amazing. Sure, the service isn’t always the friendliest, but that’s the point. Everyone that works there is family, and so what they don’t give you a smile? You’re still getting a delicious burger so I’m not sure why people are upset about that. This is one of my favorite places and I visit the joint at least two times when in town. An absolute must. I always get the single all the way and the blue cheese burger is to die for. Give Duffy’s a try, you won’t be disappointed.
