Perfect setting for a night out. Overlooking the beach this place has it all. If you are 27 or 72 you can find great food, eat indoor or out. Enjoy the seafood or traditional meat dishes with hot rolls and good salad and if you are up to it, there is a nice band playing music for all. Second generation... More

We had heard that the coconut shrimp were good, that was an understatement! We order the appetizer of coconut shrimp.. They were huge and generously coated with coconut. They came with a sweet spicy sauce that looked like a jelly... Yummy... But I should not have ordered an entree after that. Ordered the daily special.. A mahi mahi club. The... More

We had passed this place several times in the past while staying in Englewood but didn't stop. Thought it was mainly a pub. We are so glad that we finally did. Food was wonderful. We will be back!

After ten years of driving by this place, we read a touching article about how the Queen of Disco, Donna Summer, had come here often from her home on Manasota Key for lunches and dinners. We've tried it at least five times since we read the article and for lunch, we've enjoyed it immensely. Crab cakes, lobster rolls, shrimp, chicken... More

They advertise their water view, but there isn't really one, even if you stand up. Though we had no reservation (we had left another place where we had one, but the only seating was in a small dismal dining room) we were seated immediately at a table near a window from which you could see the road, and unfortunately hear...

During a short stay on Manasota Key we ate here twice and the food and service were good both times - it was one of very few places we ate in Florida that didn't smother the food in salt! The seafood was great and the kids loved the huge desserts. The only thing that let this place down were the... More

Good service but the food lacked taste. Nice atmosphere. Fair prices but they try to make up the margins with weak drinks. Very good service.

This is a great place to sit and relax across from the beach, public parking, restrooms etc. The beach is great at this location. The atmosphere was very welcoming, the staff friendly. We sat outside (though the inside opens to the outside everywhere), enjoying the Apr breeze. I found a new favorite in their sizzle wrap in whole wheat. The... More

Busy Saturday night band was fine but the drinks are weak and for $6 a piece I'd like to actually taste some alcohol. I drink maybe once a year tops and I think I've had listening with more alcohol then Lock & Key. Good food look else where for drinks unless you plan on dropping a Hun for a buzz
