What’s the best hidden-gem restaurant in Bradenton and Manatee County? Vote now
You’d be surprised at how many restaurants have opened in Manatee County in recent years, and how many more are on the way.
As the restaurant scene continues to grow, there are some eateries that have cemented their place in the hearts of locals since their first meal. Should we say it was love at first bite?
The Bradenton Herald would like to find the best restaurants that you won’t find listed at the top of Tripadvisor or DoorDash and that are only known by word of mouth or discovered by chance.
Those hidden gems where the aroma of something delicious cooking filled the air and led you to discover a new favorite dining or takeout spot.
We’d like to know about the most surprisingly good restaurant you’ve discovered, and that most people may not stumble upon on their own.
Whether it’s food from a gas station, food truck, dive bar or restaurant tucked away in a shopping plaza, tell us your favorite in the poll below.
Voting ends at noon Friday, then a story will be written to share the results.
