Mermaid Pies And Sandwiches - Bradenton

The owners were so nice! I bought a Pineapple mango pie it was delicious ? It was for my grandsons birthday, they all loved it.

Excellent key lime pie with home made whipped cream! Cookies are very yummy too ?

What an absolutely wonderful addition to the area! We 've been missing real lobster so much when we spend time down here; problem now solved.The Connecticut style lobster roll was incredibly huge. Lobster was served on the side, in butter, so I could eat as much or as little of the butter as I wanted. The bun was small, as it should be, and the lobster wasn 't only the musty extras left over when restaurants use the good stuff in other dishes. There was knuckle meat, and plenty of it. Very impressive.The other lobster roll, made with mayonnaise, was also very good but I wish it were possible to order extra light mayo on something like that. Actually, I didn 't think to ask, so it was really our fault we found it too much.Black bean salad is wonderful; we can 't say enough good things about it. The portion was so large that we ended up taking most of it home, where it tasted even better the next day.We only tried four desserts between us coconut cream pie (ridiculously creamy and good), apple pie (stunning), peanut butter cookie (just okay, wouldn 't recommend), and chocolate macaroon (all right but again, go for the pies instead).I saw one critical review complaining that they were out of a certain pie by 11.30, and there was very limited seating and parking. Well, heck. It 's a small place and you can 't expect them to keep every single pie in stock every day! Next time, call ahead; that 's what we would have done if there 'd been something special we wanted.As to the seating and parking, would it help if I called it a boutique restaurant ? Because that 's what it is. They don 't pretend to be a full service sit down restaurant. And the food is so incredible, they don 't have to be!!!Highly highly recommend this place.

Cuban is delicious and portions are huge I was able to split one with my cousin for lunch. Also enjoyed the apple pie and a coconut macaroon!

After reading all the great reviews, we decided to visit. First parking is tough, so be prepared to circle the building several times. Also, this place is pretty much takeout only. They have 2 small tables with 2 chairs each in the waiting area, not designed for eating in. Cute limited menu with several sandwiches, soups and lots of pies. Problems began when we were told no soup today. And, on days with soup, it is usually only 1 of the soups listed on the menu. Then, we wanted to order some pie. Once again, the selection was extremely limited; especially in terms of what the menu listed. This was at 11:30 in the morning, so there couldn 't have been a huge run on pie slices in the short time they had been open. Now, having said all of this, the food itself was great. Huge portions and tasty. The pie slices were also great. Despite the wonderful food, the overall experience was disappointing.
