Our Reviews

1st time there, everything was Fantastic ❗️
From hostess, bartender and especially our waitress Heather was So much fun. Was was really great. Thank you to ALL

My wife and I get a date night very seldom these days because of work and kids, tonight was a night that we got one and went to this great restaurant. Arron was our bartender and let me tell you that he made the whole night. He was beyond great as a bartender and a server. I want to thank him for giving us such a great night and being so attentive. The food was GREAT. But most of all Arron made the night for us. We will be back and thank you again.

Food was phenomenal and service was even better! Our waitress Bri was AMAZING!!! 10/10 recommend

We had a fantastic experience at Lock 'N Key! We sat outside on the terrace, which offered a beautiful view and the perfect atmosphere for a gorgeous evening.
The service was absolutely spot on.

Our server was attentive, and the food came out exceptionally fast. It is a great spot if you’re looking for quality and efficiency. They also have a lively outdoor bar that adds to the vibe. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in Englewood!

By far the best place in town for good vibes, food, and best happy hour around.

Efficient take-out, good food

Excellent atmosphere across from Englewood Beach. Food is very good. Our server (Janice) was great!!! We sat inside this time so my mom could use her cane more easily. The hostess was very accommodating.

Our server was Nick and he was an incredible server. We had such a nice dinner - steaks were cooked perfectly. Drinks were amazing. Pretty sure every handsome bachelor in the area works here. 🤣

We brought in our own fish that we caught the day before. It’s nice to find a place that will cook your fish and serve you a meal for a reasonable price. They did a great job, and sides were great as well.

The oysters were the biggest I've seen, great on their own and superb with the cocktail sauce and horseradish. Triggerfish Manasota was fabulous. Only down side is the lack of a beach view since the patio just overlooks the road.

Went on a warm and sunny Saturday afternoon at about 6 pm in late March. It was crowded. We got on the wait list for a table and was told there was an hour wait. We went to the outdoor bar and seats opened up right away, so we took them and ate at the bar. After about 30 minutes, our table was called (I told the hostess that we no longer needed the table). Afterwards, we walked across the street to the beach to watch the sun set over the water. Onsite parking is valet.

Great food, service and beside the beach, can't get much better than this!

Delicious food an excellent Server.

I always enjoy this place when I'm visiting family in Florida. The atmosphere at the bar is fun. The service and food is always top notch. Will definitely visit again.

Definitely a must if you’re having sunset dinner on Manasota Key! I had the basic burger and the Ahi Tuna Salad, which were both excellent. There are many non-seafood options that also looked good. I loved the fresh mango in the salad - I don’t think I’ve ever tasted real / fresh mango before. Also each salad is served with pumpkin bread, which is a unique extra touch.

Great place to get a wonderful meal near the beach. Food was wonderful (our party had the triple tail with lobster sauce and coconut shrimp)!

We were there tonight for dinner. We stop whenever we are in town. Excellent food and drinks! Bartenders Ethan and Melissa were excellent making great drinks and great service l. Food was on point as always. I thought I lost my prescription sunglasses and the manger checked the security video and thank goodness someone turned them in! Always a great experience!

Love Lock"N"Key. Great atmosphere always. EVERYTHING IS GOOD.

Best Happy Hour and appetizers in the area. Drinks are made well and service is great. I hate to tell you how much we love this place because then it will be even busier than it already is.

Great place to sit outside and enjoy the weather or you can sit inside. Our meals were very delicious and was a nice serving. Had left overs to take home.

Absolutely amazing! Grouper and triple tail oceana, calamari was the best we've ever had, drinks were great, staff was superb!!!

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).

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! 😋
