Our Reviews

Great food, drinks, and service with outdoor seating.

Some of the best food we have had since moving here. Pork chop was amazing as was the tower appetizer.

Snowing even though it was in the '90s on Easter day, we had a nice breeze at our seat on the patio. Umbrellas were being moved around to keep customers comfortable. The food was delicious from the rolls, to the soup, to the main entrees which included a ribeye + one of the Easter specials, the leg of lamb. The mojitos were delicious. The star of the show was the dessert special, carrot cake cheesecake!!

Glad that they were able to rebuild after the 2024 hurricane season wiped them out!

We visited this place earlier after Blind Pass Beach. We ordered the Lock-O-Tacos with Blackened Chicken as the protein. It was undoubtedly the best taco I’ve ever had. To make matters even better, the truffle fries were incredible. The food, service, and ambiance were all great. There’s also a valet parking service when you arrive at the parking lot.

Still me favorite spot in Englewood beach.

Awesome food, great staff! Love going in and talking to Aaron and other bar tenders.
Wish it wasn't freezing every time I go in, but now I know to wear a sweater.

Food and service were excellent. Valet parking was nice as well.

Worth the stop every time! Everything is great!

This is the best place to go in South Florida. You get a pull tab with every drink, it gives you a chance to pay $.50, half price or full price. So much fun.

Absolutely delicious!!!! Won’t disappoint!!!

Awesome place recommended

The place looked mobbed when we got there, yet we were seated immediately! Wait staff was excellent… i am very particular… so that is really something… food was good… i had a salad… everyone else enjoyed their dinners - blackened shrimp Alfredo and fish tacos… fun pull tab happy hour…

We took our Grouper thay we caught from a deep see fishing charter to Lock and Key for their hook and cook option. We had it grilled, fried, and coconut fried, and it was all incredible. I have been coming to this restersunt for as long as I can remember and it will always be one of my favorites!

2 Lobster rolls and 1 tuna sandwich for lunch. Good everything! Valet parking was easy and a must.

Very tasty fast service, very polite people for any of parking

Always great bar tenders and staff

Lock n Key is one of the stitches that keeps the fabric of our dreamy town so tight knitted. When our children come from afar to visit home, it’s their very first request. So thankful to see this Englewood icon bounce back time after time when battered by Mother Nature. Reservations for tomorrow as our son flew in for the weekend from Philly. Best food! Best atmosphere and the best damn servers and staff on the planet FULL STOP!

We went on a Thursday afternoon, Jay was our bartender and he was absolutely amazing and beyond personable! He made the experience so memorable and we will definitely be returning and hopefully Jay will be serving us again!

Had to park a 1/4 mile away, but they had shuttles running to bring you back and forth. Our server Sydney, "Like the city in Australia" was amazing. Food was great 👍

Thisbplace is wonderful. Everything was top notch. Trigger fish was one of the best meals I've had in a while

I came here with my girlfriend for a date and had probably a 100+ meal, we got the calamari and a seafood boil and both were excellent. Our waiter accidentally threw the calamari away that we weren't done with and in return they gave us a fresh serving and our meal for free. I wanted to tip our server at least but she wouldnt take it. Excellent service Excellent waiter, 10/10.

I really enjoyed my experience here. The food was cooked well, and the daiquiris were some of the best. Service was great and timely. I will be back.

So glad they’re open again & looking great. Very, very happy they take reservations. Has delicious fish dinners, great service. Only complaint is they’re serving plain white rice with the fish dinners. I thought mine was actually mashed potato at first because it was so lumped together. It had no taste. Herbed rice or rice pilaf would have some taste & be so much better. But we’re going back in 2 days!

From Tampa drove down and picked my mother up in Osprey then heading down to one of her favorite restaurants to enjoy once again following their reopening a week earlier. All dining is presently outside and this was an absolutely perfect day to have visited. It was very crowded at 5 PM but everything from beginning to end moved smoothly and very enjoyable and tasty. Loving the valet service, Mr. David was a gentleman and most helpful. We put our name in for a table suggested a 30 min wait we were seated in about 15 happy to receive that cell call that are time was up! Outside seating is arranged very comfortably, (plenty of shade covering, also fans when needed) and our meal superb! I personally always enjoy the side item of 2 pumpkin bread slices they have over reg side of fries or slaw which is unique. A special thank you to Ms Sydney who had such a sweet smile lively personality, and was both professional and attentive throughout. Also want to add restroom services are inside and very impressed with the lovely updates, if there’s such a thing to say, one of the nicest restaurant bathrooms I have ever been in lol. To all of you continue doing a fantastic job and good luck to as you continue moving the restaurant forward following the hurricane. (Valet services, to the general Public, a bit of advice please, yes many times restaurants say free valet, but please please consider handing something when picking up your keys as this location in particular is truly doing you a service with worry free parking and getting you right into the door).

Good food & good atmosphere!!

Amazing meal today, highly recommend

I want to stress how important it is to an experience that seems to go off the rails that the manager is involved and communicates well with the customer....

Great cocktails and during happy hour, you get pull tabs which can give you a 50 cent, half-price or full price drink.

Best food on the island. Good atmosphere. You can start drinking at 8am too! Staff is always good as well.

Chicken Salad Pub, prime rib sandwich and turkey Brie
All great food and amazing service

Many delicious options. Yummy grouper basket! 😋

Always a must when in Manasota…. never had a bad meal.

This is now my favorite restaurant! I had the blackened grouper over a Caesar salad - delicious grouper perfectly cooked. My son had bacon hamburger - also...

Our family considered Lock and Key the favorite meal of our trip! The grilled entrees were fresh and amazing and I can't even think about the ice cream and...

Awesome food drinks and service, the ahi tuna was to die for. Always a few stops here when we visit!

Highly recommend the Avocado Salad with Ahi tuna

The best cod sandwich ever

Lock N Key is one of our favorite places to eat in Englewood! Try the Brie - you won’t be sorry. Their mixed drinks and happy hour are great too. Our son’s favorite is their ahi.
