Harry’s Grill claims four Readers’ Choice Awards

Owned by Mark and Jan Labriola, Harry’s Grill claimed four more Readers’ Choice Awards in 2025, receiving the most votes in the bar and grill, night spot and burger categories, with Linda Kissell deemed the Readers’ Choice in the waiter/waitress category.

“Harry’s has worked very hard to be consistent with our food quality, entertainment and service,” Mark Labriola said. “We offer a venue and atmosphere that brings enjoyment to our customers and creates memories for our visitors to take back to wherever they came from so they come back the following year. Harry’s Grill offers casual dining with award-winning food, a pet-friendly patio and a romantic setting with nightly live music.”

“We’ve won the burger category for eight years,” he noted. “Harry’s Cheeseburger is made with our special secret spices and it’s a half-pound of fresh-cut Angus ground beef served on a toasted ciabatta bun with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and onions.”

“Seven nights a week, we provide some of the highest quality entertainment on the Island. Our entertainers consistently perform on the same night each week and most of them have been with us from the beginning,” he said.

Regarding Harry’s award-winning waitress, Labriola said, “You can never come to Harry’s when Linda’s working and not be won over by her smile and welcoming spirit.”

Harry’s Grill is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and the kitchen typically closes between 9 and 9:30 p.m. Sundays begin with Harry’s Hallelujah Brunch from 10-11:30 a.m., an event that provides free breakfast, live worship music and a spiritual message. Regular business operations then begin at 1 p.m. and continue until 10 p.m.

Harry’s Grill is located at 9903 Gulf Drive in Anna Maria. Visit them online at www.harrysgrillami.com.

JOE HENDRICKS | SUN Weather permitting, live music is performed on the Harry’s Grill patio seven nights a week.
