We were in Englewood Florida for a family reunion and 8 of us went there for dinner. It's a very popular place so it was quite busy and reservations are recommended. Service was very good. Food for 8 of all us was excellent and large helping. Highly recommended.

Went for the dine town, our bartender was fantastic, she makes the deserts and I loved those, the pork belly was good and the chicken was good , noodles needed lots of seasoning. Everything else was fine

THE HAPPY HOUR!! 🤗🤗

Patrick T.

Didn't order food, just stopped in for some drinks and to watch some football. Excellent service and great crowd!

Sarah W.

Really cool place, a ton of regulars were there. It was busy pretty much all day. Happy hour is a lot of fun, I got lucky one day with a couple of wins on the drink tickets. The bartenders were excellent!

I visited this place several times on vacation, and had ordered various items on the menu - fresh oysters, chicken wings, charcuterie, lock n key salad, tripletail entrée, and the BYO burger. Every dish was amazing, really delicious. I will absolutely be back.

The Lock is Englewood. A menu where you should have to dress up but don't have to dress up.

Nachos with boom boom shrimp ate great! Be sure and get a pull tab of your drinking at the bar, could be a free drink in it for you! JUST PULL ONE TAB!

Derek S.

Such a great place to have a Thanksgiving dinner. Food and service was incredible.

Janet H.

Wonderful service and everything was great 👍

Brittney H.

Great food with large portions.

Bill L.

This a great little beach bar. The last two years we were here it was closed due to hurricane damage. We are so glad it’s back up and running. The food is as good as ever. My wife and I split the Boom Boom Shrimp and short rib power bowl. Both were really good.

Also, it was my wife’s birthday and they were very cooperative about me bringing a birthday cake for after dinner.

One difference from the past is that I made a reservation rather than just showing up. During high season, this place is very popular and it might be a long wait without one. Also, parking is limited and is now valet only. There is parking across the street at the public beach if you don’t want to pay the valet.

The swordfish "special" was out of this world. Excellent. Fried cod was perfect!!!! Service great. Prices reasonable considering the economy. We chose to eat outside as it was too cold inside but personally do not like eating next to a road.

Lock & Key is back stronger than ever!
Great Happy Hour, amazing food and spot on service.
It's not 100% yet (post hurricanes) but they're getting there.

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).

Jane C.

Good food & good atmosphere!!

Sabrina Randazzo R.

Amazing meal today, highly recommend

Dianne M.

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....
