The Best Takeout Restaurants in Bradenton

Are you looking for some great takeout restaurants in the Bradenton or Lakewood Ranch area? 

If so, I have searched, asked my neighbors as well all of the surrounding residents of Lakewood Ranch what were their best go-to take out and delivery restaurants in Bradenton and the Lakewood Ranch area.

These are locally owned restaurants.  Let’s Give Where We Live! 

**As of March 30, 2020, these restaurants in Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch were open for takeout** 

Thankfully, my friends and neighbors gave me not only locally-owned restaurants that offer take out but included some of their favorite dishes too.

I have separated the restaurants by cuisine and included their websites and direct telephone numbers as well.

Popi’s is my go-to place for not only breakfast but lunch and dinner too.  Let’s just say they actually know me from being a frequent customer. 

I have several of my clients who live nearby that know of the staff better than I do, so hey I am not too bad.

I honestly cannot remember ever having a bad meal at Popi’s.  Here are some of my favorites- Breakfast Burrito, Greek Omelet and the Create Your Own Skillet.  I have always wanted to try their Biscuits & Gravy.

🍲First Watch: 8306 Market Street, Bradenton, 941-907-6657, www.Firstwatch.com.  Open from 7 AM to 2:30 PM.  First Watch offers Brunch Bundles as well as single entrees for takeout.  You can also get fresh-squeezed juice, such as Kale Tonic from their juice bar.

Here is some advice, do not look at the calorie count that the post on every dish.  If you are like me, you will just say forget it and skip a meal. 

But, if you are hungry, they try their pancakes.  I justify it myself by just getting one pancake and scrambled eggs. 

That is probably one of their least caloric dishes. I have always wanted to try their Chicken & Waffles.  If you do eat that, let me know how good it was.
