Mean Deans Local Kitchen, a beloved neighborhood spot in Bradenton, is turning up the heat this summer with an exciting lineup of seasonal specials and events.

Nestled at 6059 26th Street West, just a stone’s throw from State College of Florida, this vibrant eatery is known for its welcoming atmosphere and ample parking, making it the perfect destination for lunch, dinner, and happy hour.

Chef Dean, a culinary master with an impressive resume that includes owning Cedar Reef Fish Camp and serving as Wine Director for Flemings Prime Steakhouse, leads the kitchen.

Michele, also a former restaurateur and accomplished pilot, takes care of everything else, creating a welcoming community space for locals, seasonal visitors, and weekend vacationers.

“We opened in November of 2020 and couldn’t be happier,” says Michele Angell. “We have so many wonderful regulars. It has been a pleasure to get to know our community and to see them enjoying Dean’s food,” “Cooking is my way of connecting with people and bringing joy to the community,” continues Dean. “At Mean Deans, every dish is crafted with love and dedication.”

After three years, Mean Deans just made a big addition to their offerings by securing their full liquor license and now offers a full bar with a wide variety of spirits and signature cocktails in addition to an extensive wine list and beer selection including craft beers. Mean Deans mixologists are making their own syrups, juicing most of the fruit fresh, infusing their own liquors and using their imagination to bring something unique to the bar and table for your cocktail enjoyment.
