The 18 best bars and drinks in Englewood

Love the local fresh fish options that Farlows has to offer. We had the Tuna Nacho to start, good, but I do wish they cut the tuna into smaller pieces instead of strips. It made it messy to eat. The Grouper Cheeks were good, but I didn't think they would be deep-fried. Good, but not as expected. The St. Croix items were very good!! Absolutely beautiful atmosphere and popular spot for locals and visitors. Reservations are highly recommended.

Amazing food...fish was very fresh and delicious! I had the Caribbean delight combo, then we had the puff pastry blackened grouper and the golden tile fish! All were excellent! Great atmosphere sitting by the water and live music..truly a great place to eat. 4 stars because it was very expensive.

Farlow’s on the Water—my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Florida! Tropical, soulful, flavorful, and divine—every bite feels like a mini vacation. From the island-inspired dishes to the waterfront views, it’s a total vibe. If you’re looking for a place that feeds your stomach and your soul, this is it. Trust me—your taste buds will thank you.

We loved it. Make sure you get "Joey G' as your server. He really added to the pleasant experience. Also the menu had so many wonderful choices that it also leads to wanting to go back. You will see what we mean. Enjoy.

Zee was our waitress at Farlows. Her demeanor was so pleasant, she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was 10/10, phenomenal. Absolutely recommend the mussels (and saving the leftover broth to pour over and dip literally anything). We had triggerfish with fontina bacon grits and a Caribbean themed platter with shrimp stuffed with blue crab and hollandaise, scallops and grouper. I wish I had room for dessert. Thank you for providing us a wonderful meal and atmosphere for our vacation.

First time trying Farlows, I've heard good things about it. The service is very good, the food was good as well but not as good as it should be for the price. Drinks were good too, but again, for the price it should be. We wanted to sit outside on the covered patio, but the noise from the traffic was just too loud. We opted to sit inside where the atmosphere was sterile at best. The best part, the food was pleasing . The salads with the house vinegerette were very good, the triggerfish, hogfish, and scallops good as well. The stuffed shrimp would have been better without the hollandaise sauce, too salty. The island rice was a bit dry with little flavor. The sauted veggies were very good. My blueberry mojito was tasty but not worth the price. All in all the meal was good but not for the price. The service was very good. It will be a while before/if we go back for another try.

We had a fantastic time! We had a reservation but with traffic we were a few min late! I called on the way and the staff was very accommodating about being a little late. Cathy F was our server, phenomenal! She was running the whole time with her tables, has a huge smile on her face, extremely pleasant even though she was busy, gave us great recommendations, answered all of our questions and accommodated our food allergy! We loved the atmosphere. Everyone was friendly! And all of the food looked good! We had coconut shrimp for starter, then salad and bread with our entrees. We both got fresh catch fish! Such a good selection. With our allergies, we got one broiled and one blackened. The sides were delicious too! The desserts looked so good we got one to go then hung out by the fire! Great Florida gem! Fish is delicious. Priced well for portions and quality. Loved our waitress! Highly recommend it all!

This spot quickly became our favorite place to visit! We walked in as strangers but definitely left feeling part of the family! Amanda and J behind the bar were incredible and the food was absolutely delicious!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So happy Lock ‘N Key is reopened! The ambience is beautiful, the service was spot-on, and the menu and drinks were full of flavor. I had the tuna poké bowl, which was fresh and delicious. My husband had the Caesar salad (his go-to!) and said it was amazing — the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked. We also tried the buffalo cheese dip, and it was excellent. A great experience all around — we’ll definitely be back!

Incredible joint! Excellent service and scrumptious food. I'd be tempted to travel all the way from TN in the future just to eat the Seafood cakes and Grouper Rockefeller again. Make sure to get there for dinner before Happy Hour ends to get a pull tab at the bar. The Mule was great but the Rum Runner was the hit of the night. 10/10 would recommend!

Cool bar right by the beach with awesome food and drink options. The happy hour pull tab game is a awesome addition to make the experience more fun. We sat at the bar and the staff was right with us even with a bar full of regulars. The drinks and food came out fast and fresh! We got some bomb nachos that were just covered in some fantastic boom boom shrimp. They definitely did not skimp on anything, you get a lot of food at a great value. The prices are extremely fair and great for what you get. This is definitely a place I'd add in my rotation and a great option for any beach day.

After 2 hurricanes within 2 weeks of one another back In September of 24', this place kicks ass. Clean, food is amazing. Drinks are spot on. Must try. Highly recommend

Came in with a group of 7 and we all had a great meal. My favorite highlights were the seafood cake appetizer and the massively huge slice of coconut cream pie. But we tried a little of everything and it was all good. The Cole Slaw was a little bland, it could use a little vinegar or lime juice in it and the coconut martini could use a better garnish than just a cherry. But would definitely come back again. Service from Sydney was great too!

We had a Girls weekend on the key and started out at Lock ‘N Key. WOW it was amazing from start to finish! Absolutely Amazing service, drinks and the Food perfection.

Chicken sandwich was very good. Brisket French dip was good however the au jus tasted like warm water very bland. same goes for the beans and rice no flavor. Sweet potatoes I recommend. dinning outside was nice. Staff was great!

Ill start when we arrived there was "complimentary" valet parking. But there was plenty of parking available and was unsure why the valet was even needed. As far as drinks there was some delicious specials including a chocolate banana drink that was terrific. The food was good, at our table we tried a protein bowl, fried fish, and shrimp. It all tasted delicious and was filling. Dessert I decided to get their friend cheesecake and wished I had gotten 2 with my 1st bit. But found the serving size to be perfect for my sweet tooth. Service was average nothing bad nothing outstanding.

Excellent grub and wonderful atmosphere! Had the Sandbar Bomber Burger and it was delicious. Whoever thought to put a tortilla on the plate to make a taco with all the toppings that fall off as you're trying to eat the burger is a genius. Make sure to check out when they have live music as it was such fun listening while enjoying our meal. 10/10 would recommend

We had a good time at SandBar. I love the fact that it was open air with sand beneath your feet! It definitely had the perfect vibes for a beach vacay. The food and drinks were really good - your typical American bar/grill food with burgers, sandwiches, some tacos, etc. We enjoyed that there was live music, though I tend to be more of a “enjoy conversations” person and always wish the music was just a touch quieter. The biggest downside with the open air was that, as soon as our food arrived, the flies descended. We were at another restaurant that provided table fans when the food was served for this reason, so something like that could be nice. We spent the meal swatting them away. My kids and I are rather skittish with bugs, so that was a little unpleasant, but it wouldn’t stop us from coming back. You get what you get when you chose to dine al fresco!

Fun place! They had a band playing 70s, 80s, 90s music. Watched the sun set while sitting next to the water. Big ole cheeseburger. That's like heaven for me! Highly recommended if you like any of the above!

I’ve been coming to this restaurant since it was called flounders. Never have I received the kind of service and atmosphere that I did tonight. Our server Joe went beyond above and beyond. I’d give this dude stars for life if I could! Thanks Joe we had a great night, thanks for being so kind to my baby girl!..

We love going to SandBar. The atmosphere is great and very chill. Quite often there’s live music. The staff is on point and always good for banter. The menu is huge so picking what you want to eat is the biggest challenge but all the food has been great. It’s large portions so be aware. We like to order one thing at a time.

More than what you expect from the outside. Biggest cheese plate ever 🤤. Crab cakes were good. Some apps served on slate plates which could make them heavy but look pretty. This area is right on the water. Although the majority of the restaurant is outside there is a small bar and a few tables on the inside. Good wine options for your food choices.

The food was memorable. This restaurant is definitely a place my family and I will revisit on our trips to Florida. The cheese plate and clams with risotto dish were perfect. The desserts were ok but we expected more since the food was so yummy.

Awesome atmosphere, beautiful view, wonderful food and nice service. Our food came quickly and the background music was a good volume. I would definitely come here again!

Really nice place to have a dinner, good live music!! The service was incredible and i think the prices were ok. A good wine selection and the prices are fair

Exceptional outdoor dining experience. Delicious food and perfect atmosphere. We have enjoyed a wonderful business relationship with the Jill, the owner, for 15 years. Her attention to detail, positive energy, and true caring nature will make a visit to the Boutique and Bistro one of your best dining and shopping adventures.

Don't just drive by this unassuming location right before the bridge on the way to Englewood beach! Seating choices include an indoor bar, outdoor covered and open air waterfront seating. The staff was friendly and they even offer live music. Now for the best part. Seriously * delicious * food. Think world class delicious and a menu that is refreshingly different from the other beach restaurants. The beet salad? GET IT!! This isn't just about beets and you'd like it even if you didn't like beets. House made blackberry sangria? Just say "yes". Tonight's dinner for me was a thick cut pork loin over sweet, creamy grits with asparagus & hubby got the grouper tacos. Both ridiculously great. And that's not just the sangria talking. 🤫 It's a little pricey at $25 - $40 per dinner entree, but you can order from the lunch menu all day as well if you want the same quality on a budget. Your taste buds will thank you either way.

Location and food were great! The outdoor area is on the bay and we watched dolphins swim in to chase fish😊 The Cuban sandwich was delicious and the egg potato salad was tasty. They have many wines to choose from- the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was crisp and delicious🥂 The guava infused key lime pie with fresh berries was divine... will definitely be back🌅

Been a while since I stopped in to check out the EPIC Live Music and GREAT Euro Food. Had Schnitzel one week...went back for the Goulash...Both were DEEEELICIOUS! The music got better every week! MEMPHIS LIGHTNING was one of the most Amazing Bands...ever!

This is a $30 FULL RACK of ribs. Notice the width compared to the fork. The band was great. The service was good.

I was very impressed with my visit last night. I’ve only been here once a year ago and it was miserable on the patio with very few umbrellas and the blazing sun. They added a giant tiki covering that is absolutely beautiful and provided an incredible atmosphere. No having to hid from the sun and a good amount of fans. It may get hot under there come summertime, but it’s a huge upgrade. The food was surprisingly very good, because I’m super picky on food quality and this hit the mark. The Vienna schnitzel was very well-prepared. It’s a huge piece of pork with a really good breading and perfectly cooked. They definitely didn’t burn any of it and you can tell the frying oil wasn’t old and used. I was mostly impressed with the service from Missy and the other bartender who popped in occasionally, as well as, the whole staff who constantly kept the table clean and clear. Overall, I wish I had come here more before I moved to Sarasota. Great service, food, and atmosphere with great bands.

It was our first time here and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. There was live music outside and the vibe was jumping. I ordered the jager schnitzel and it was freaking phenomenal! My wife had the seafood special that was grouper with a garlic caper sauce, again, outstanding. Our server, Missy, was amazing in treating us like her only table and helping us out with dinner decisions. She recommended the bacon/mushroom gravy that I could have put on a shoe and it would have been delicious. We highly recommend Englewood's on Dearborn for the food and the music. Keep up the good work, crew!

Great food and atmosphere! Karen was our server. She was very welcoming and attentive especially on a crazy night like the water fest block party!

It saddens me to have to write this review because I always loved coming to this restaurant for live music. I decided to bring my girlfriend here to se Twinkle a couple weeks ago and it was an absolute disaster. The food is over priced, the drinks were at “par” at best (meaning if it was supposed to cold it was warm, if it was warm (like red wine), it was boiling hot…. Twinkle also unfortunately was disorganized and the female lead singer cared more about socializing than singing. I would advise everyone to look at their menu and event calendar before going here, because there photos are deceiving.

First timers.They have another room with a band on the weekend. We were too late, and it was filled. We ate in the dining room, very pleasant atmosphere, great service, great food! The mussels are to die for! We are definitely going back! Parking can be a challenge. This place is slammed, but Dearborn St. Is all parking. They also have an outside Tiki bar area. Very pleasant visit. Prices we thought were a little steep, but delicious, plus we will return. Ohbthe noise, we could hear the band fine in the dining room. We don't know what it was like it the party room. Yeah, gotta give it 5 stars!

I had baked stuffed shrimp, and it was delicious. My husband got the lasagna, and he was not impressed. The beef was like tasteless mush. The French onion soup was also tasteless. My Malibu martini was great. Duncan was a great server, and very attentive.

Englewood needs a good restaurant but La Stanza won't fill the bill. The food (lasagna and veal Sorrentino) was average and lacked any pizzaz. The waitress Theresa, was slow (too busy?) and I needed to go to the hostess for help who was glad to assist. Happy hour meals are a few dollars cheaper. There was no wait to get seated.

We have made memories at La Stanza throughout the years. We've made those memories with our dear friends and our romantic dinners together, the little table beside the railing. Thank you Bill. The bartender you've served us very, very good drinks and we thank you for that. You're the best. And lastly, but not least, thank you for all the wonderful meals. The deliciousness of it, the thought that went into in the hands that prepare them. Enjoy your retirement. You've earned it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice restaurant and good food. If you go to the bar, Bill is awesome. He’ll make you feel right at home.

Chicken Fantasia was unique and very good. Penne Alla Vodka good. Helpful and friendly staff. Will return.

Staff was very attentive and food arrived with proper timing between courses. Our table was appropriately cleared of empty dishes. Kale was a great waiter. Also, I appreciated having cloth napkins and tablecloth for a change! My husband and I both had veal cutlet parmesan which came with salad and bread. The cutlet was a nice portion and very tasty, but the linguine portion was a little skimpy. If you prefer a simple marinara sauce, you will be pleased. However, my husband would have liked a spicier sauce. We shared an order of tarimisu to end our meal. It was to die for! All being said, we had a pleasant evening and will definitely return.

Enjoyed coming here for a date with my wife. Would was good and the service was good.

Our server was Catherine, and she was excellent!!! I had the Potroast Patty Melt and Fries, the sandwich was tasty, and the fries were oh so yummy. My husband had the Steak Bomb Sandwich and Onion Rings. The sandwich was a little dry, but the onion rings were out of this world. The portions were large. The restaurant is beautiful, and there's tons of seating inside and out. The restaurant sits right on the water, and I would recommend sitting outside the view is absolutely stunning!!! I definitely recommend enjoying a meal and the view at this restaurant!!!

Stopped for lunch while in town. Had large walk up area and big doors so wheelchair accessible. We were able to sit right away. They have a large open area with tons of tables and a large bar with lots of seating as well. They had tables outside on a patio too. We had a small table next to a front window. They had great options on the menu and a large drink menu as well. Our server was little off but the food was amazing! Such large portions! We had to take some home!

So I gave it three stars because I’ve been here a handful of times and it’s usually good (not great) but good. This time around that was not the case. I got the Cajun chicken pasta and the Cajun was no where to be found. There was actually little to no seasoning anywhere, not the cream sauce or chicken. Honestly the most bland pasta dish I’ve ever had. The drinks and appetizers were good but it’s gonna be hard for me to return Side note: I ate most of it because I was very hungry

We had a great time with 14 in our party. Our server was wonderful and most helpful. Our portions were good sized. I will recommend this place.

Review for Barb and Ken's We visited Barb and Ken’s during the quiet season and were impressed by the warm, friendly atmosphere. Our server was excellent—attentive, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. It’s clear that this would be a lively and inviting spot during the high season. That said, the food during our visit was disappointing. I had the grilled fish sandwich, which unfortunately had very little flavor and appeared to be a frozen piece of fish. However, the salad that came with it was fresh and quite good. My husband ordered the mussels Diablo, which was so spicy it was nearly inedible. The mussels themselves had that rubbery, gritty texture you often find with previously frozen seafood. I tried a small bite of the pasta, and it upset my stomach for the rest of the evening due to the extreme heat. Despite the food issues, the service was so good that we’re open to giving Barb and Ken’s another try—perhaps during the high season when the kitchen may be at its best. I’d love to see if the dining experience improves when they’re in full swing.

The server we had was great. We went twice and he already knew our drink order before we asked! Everyone was friendly and happy. There are so many options for food it is hard to decide! The portions are large and the food was great. The only drawback was some things we got were extremely salty. Like the tiny sliced onion rings. I couldn't even eat many they were so salty. Even the salad dressing was salty. They have all kinds of fun art all around the restaurant ans most of it is for sale.

Ken and Barb has a light and friendly atmosphere and watching the sunset while eating dinner was a big plus. The food was decent, salad was great, tacos were good and while the steak was soft, it lacked flavor. Overall a decent place to enjoy a decent meal

My family & I came here for dinner and we absolutely loved everything about our dining experience! We ordered the sea bass, surf and turf, crab cake and the kids’ butter noodles. Our server, Evan, was extremely prompt and professional. The entire atmosphere was amazing and we loved watching the sunset from our seats. I would definitely recommend the Waverly!

We finally made it to The Waverly and had a truly great dinner. We started with the fried avocado (absolutely delicious) served with tons of tortilla chips—perfect for sharing. The surf and turf was a highlight, and I also had an enormous, super-fresh mountain of salad that hit the spot. Service was top-notch. When our table got a bit cramped with all the dishes, the staff quickly moved us to a more spacious spot right by the window. It made the evening even better, especially with the gorgeous sunset view. Drinks were spot-on, and while it’s definitely the priciest place on the key, it’s totally worth a visit for the atmosphere, service, and food. Highly recommend!

We had a group of 6 and our server Evan was very accommodating and checked on us regularly. The calamari and fish dip were great. People in our party got fish and chips, shrimp scampi and salmon. My husband and I got the summer specials of mahi and linguine & clams which included soup and dessert, we wish they offered something like this year round. The portions were perfect.

Absolutely an amazing experience. We had Krissy a.k.a. Jersey as our server and she exceeded our expectations. Recommended a drink that is truly one that celebrates the autumn spirit it is an autumn. Margarita with fresh pear, and apple cider absolutely delicious and her personality was bubbly and exactly what we needed. I will be coming back and only asking for her!

The Waverly is a dream. I actually had my wedding in their banquet room and it was amazing. The day was perfect and Hunter made all the details so easy. We loved working with him and everyone involved!

The sushi was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. However, the overall dining experience left a bit more to be desired. Our server seemed inattentive and unfortunately forgot our drink order twice. We had mentioned it was our first visit, but she didn’t take the time to walk us through any specials or recommendations, which would have been helpful and welcoming. Throughout the meal, we found ourselves needing to flag down the manager to get additional drinks and sides, as our server was not checking in regularly. While the restaurant itself is stunning with a lovely view and ambiance, the lack of attentive service took away from the overall experience. Additionally, the grouper sandwich did not seem fresh and did not taste like genuine grouper, which was disappointing given the otherwise appealing menu. It’s a shame, as the setting and potential are truly great — with some improvement in service consistency and food quality, this could easily become a standout dining destination. We hope this feedback is helpful and taken in the spirit of improvement — we’d love to see the experience elevated to match the beautiful atmosphere you’ve created.

I had the Biratta tomato salad. It was delicious. My husband had the French dip and corn chowder soup equally good. Our German Shepherd dog was welcome and everybody was very friendly. We sat out on the lanai.

Mango Bistro is hands down one of the best spots for breakfast or lunch! Whether you prefer indoor or outdoor seating, the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. The food is always fresh and full of flavor—perfect for starting your day or enjoying a laid-back 🥗 🥙🥑

If cozy vibes, quirky charm, and a splash of tropical flair are your thing, then Mango Bistro is calling your name! This little gem is the perfect blend of eclectic and inclusive, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every time I pop in, it’s like a mini vacation—good drinks, good people, and really good food. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, though fair warning: if you swing by during the lunch rush, bring a little patience with you—they’re juggling a lot, but it’s worth the wait. Last time, I tried the gluten-free turkey club, and wow... so good I almost forgot it was gluten-free! But the real star of the show? The mango tea. I’m obsessed. It’s flavorful, refreshing, and totally addictive—I get it every time! Trust me, whether you’re a regular or just passing through, Mango Bistro is the kind of place that makes you feel like a local. 🥭✨

We’ve finally made it to Mango Bistro! 🥭 It’s the best place in town especially when you’re on a special diet because they offer tons of vegetarian / vegan options and are also really attentive about other diets or allergies. I felt so appreciated having a separate vegetarian / vegan menu! I had so much fun deciding on what to eat because it finally wasn’t just salad and fries or a simple veggie burger for me. I had the avocado toast with vegan chorizo and it was amazing. The fresh fruits and delicious drinks (iced strawberry matcha) added to the experience. Service was also excellent and prices were reasonable for a really fresh and delicious meal. Atmosphere was great as well. Highly recommend!

I was gladly surprised by trying this restaurant for the first time. If you want healthy food, they got it. They have a separate menu for gluten free choices. The food is freshly made and delicious! The soups are like none I have tasted before. Take some time and try it.

Got the Honolulu melt, and he got the Italiano, the food wasn’t bad but not necessarily what we personally like which isn’t their fault. The staff was very friendly and the coffee was good as well! They have a gluten free and vegan menu available and in general have a great variety of things. I would definitely try it again!

A Gem in Englewood! What a great location right in the heart of Englewood! We truly enjoyed our breakfast here. I had the avocado toast, and my husband went for the spinach-egg wrap👏both were absolutely delicious. The coffee (Café con leche) was perfectly made, smooth and rich in flavor. The service was friendly and welcoming, which added to the great atmosphere of this colorful, vibrant spot. We sat outside and really appreciated the relaxed, tropical vibe. ❤️❤️We’ll definitely be back whenever we travel to this area again. Highly recommended!👍

Place is very cute. Ordered the turkey club sandwich wrap and the green machine smoothie, delicious. Reasonable price. They do have a gluten free menu. Will go again.

This is a great local "mom and pop" type restaurant. The food is good, the prices are reasonable. There is a dedicated parking lot out front, with plenty of parking spaces.

Great food! You can not beat everything they make. The only issue is since Ian they redid flooring to tile (which is wise) but now the noise level is exceeding loud and unable to carry on conversation. Next time we will get carry out. But will always order from Mama’s. The food is sooo good!

Can't understand how this "pizza" place won so many awards for great pizza? Just my humble opinion from a man who has been eating pizza from coast to coast, grew up in Chicago, spent many summers in NY,NJ,. I have tried tgin, thick, Pan, Deep dish, etc. This pizza is about a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. The place was clean, bathroom excellent, our server was attentive to all our needs.

Mama’s is a cozy little Italian restaurant with a large menu. Great pizza and awesome Stromboli along with many chicken, veal and pasta dishes. You can’t go wrong with a visit to Mama’s. Fast take out as well with large portions.

We ordered a pizza over the phone at 8:40 PM, knowing the restaurant closes at 9:00 PM. We weren’t sure if they'd take a late order, but they did which we appreciated. However, before my boyfriend even hung up, someone on the phone said, “Well, we close in 20 minutes so… we hope to see you before then,” which came off a little passive-aggressive. I get that late orders can be frustrating, but the tone just felt unnecessary. When we arrived around 8:50, one of the staff—who was younger and friendly—initially asked if we were picking up for someone else. After we corrected her, she smiled and went to check on our order. But then another woman smirked and said to her, “Well, you would’ve lost that bet,” and they both laughed. It felt like they were making jokes at our expense, which made the interaction a bit uncomfortable.That said, they did offer red pepper flakes and parmesan, which was a nice touch, and our pizza came out shortly after. The pizza was decent, and I know from past visits that their pasta is genuinely great. It’s a solid spot overall—just felt like the vibe from the staff this time around was a little off, which took away from the experience a bit.

This is not Italian veal marsella you sold us. Had red glaze on meat no brown gravy. Very suspicious meal.Beware. last time had pizza. Had pepperoni on it. Can't eat pepperoni. Waitress said I won't charge you pull it off.

Mamas in Englewood FL has the BEST Cauliflower Crust Pizza!!! Special order with what you want on top. Fresh, tasty and amazing. Also very reasonably priced. It’s a weekly go to! Can’t wait for them to get back from vacation! Craving Pizza Friday. If you have not tried them you must! 5 Star!

Great local restaurant and bar. This is the perfect place to bring family and friends to relax and enjoy what Englewood has to offer. Right on Lemon Bay, this cute restaurant has lots of sitting with water views. The dolphins in this area are unreal. It was a rainy day but still perfect while sitting at the rail watching the dolphins play. The food service and atmosphere are a 10/10 for me. I love the laid-back atmosphere. They aren't rushing you to hurry up and leave. I will definitely be back.

We stopped down for some dinner and to watch the sunset. It was quite a bit breezy near the water. Our waitress was quite attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the chicken Alfredo pasta with garlic bread special they had. The sunset was gorgeous. We really enjoyed the atmosphere.

We really enjoyed our food... A shrimp poor boy and a grilled grouper sandwich. Service by Tyler was friendly and attentive. The place was pretty quiet since we ate early so we had a chance to chat with him for a while. He's new to this restaurant, but obviously wasn't new to food service. This restaurant has really improved since we were here 4 years ago and this time we'll come back pretty soon.

This place is such a vibe! We went for the sunset, waterfront views, outdoor seating, and live music. Snook’s did not disappoint. Loved the cornmeal batter on the fish platter. It was seasoned well and the fish was moist. My seafood po boy was full of fried oysters and the sauce on the sandwich was delicious. To top it off, our waitress was awesome. She suggested the rum bucket and it was amazing! Definitely will be a regular here.

UPDATED May/2022 We really love going here but the staff is very limited. It takes forever to order food and than longer to get it. You now have to basically go stand on line inside at the bar if you want to get a drink. Yes even if you have table service.They have great bands schedule but they always seem to be canceling for one reason or another. Yes part of it is due to the rain but not always. Make sure you check their Facebook page before you go there to make sure they are open. END UPDATE . . . The food was very good, you got what you paid for. The drinks were nice and cold. The atmosphere, along with the live band and gorgeous sunset, made the place feel romantic and yet laid back. It's always nice when you can sit outside with family and friends right on the water!

The place is way bigger than it looks. Plenty of parking and some spots for boat docking. Great view and good food. The fried shrimp was delicious.

12.10.22 Update: Still a great place to go! Happy they reopened and menu hadn't changed. Very pleased, prices were very reasonable, food good and a great view. Except for the music being extremely loud, it was very good. Staff was excellent. Will be back.

Wonderful experience!! I had the artichoke soup.. I can eat it everyday! I had the flatbread with pear, blue cheese and mozzarella! 🤌 My sister-in-law had the shrimp and rice. She loved it!

Literally blown away by the food here. All we could talk about while we ate and afterwards was how insanely delicious the food is. Service was equally as amazing. I HIGHLY recommend trying the dates.

We went for a date night while visiting in town. The dates were absolutely mind blowing, full of taste!!! Great atmosphere, sat outside and they were accommodating towards food allergies.

Very surprising to find such excellent and creative tapas - maybe the best outside Barcelona! Plus a great wine selection by the glass — almost impossible to find in Florida. Service (by the owner) was very professional. But all of the tapas - the meatballs, escargots, dates, pears with blue cheese, crab cakes, were very nicely done with lots of delicious bread. The gumbo and butternut squash soup to start were also wonderful. In Englewood’s art district, nice little place.

This is the kind of place you would want to bring either a group of friends or your special person for a romantic evening. It has a great ambience, nice music playing, and a lovely decor. The presentation is top notch. That all being said, we were very disappointed with the slow service. We ordered our drinks and soup which we received very quickly. We ordered just 2 appetizers/tapas that we waited 45 minutes for! During peak season, they really should have more staff to accommodate the volume of visitors to the area. Sitting at the bar, we could see that the servers had a rough time keeping up with all the orders. Also a little pricey for what you get. One and done for us.

Lisa (co-owner) & Ian (lead bartender/server) are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant/wine shop. Be sure to sign up for events/tastings.

Beautifully deocorated and perfect for dining outdoors. The food, though the average person might find it pricey, it is simply amazing. From the cheese and meat board to the meatball plate, everything was immaculately prepared. A nice selection of wines either by the glass or bottle. Looking for a place to sit, talk and have a bite? This is the place to go.

The food was not very good. Grouper sandwich was super small, bread extremely small and soggy. Service was really good. But definitely would not come back due to the food.

Amazing customer service from Rachel at the bar! I always get the lemon pepper chicken and tonight it was so good! Thank you End Zone for always providing us great food and customer service after a long day!

I had the Cheeseburger Pizza, and it was delicious from the dough to the toppings it was so good!!! I definitely recommend stopping for pizza.

Great little local sports bar. Good food and great service. Their pizza & fried mushrooms are my fav! A nice & laid back place to grab a quick lunch or watch the game with some pizza and a beer.

Great layed back atmosphere on the patio. I just wish they had more fans in the heat of summer!! Savanna was an excellent server. Bathrooms are clean! Food was GREAT! The cook made the burger perfect medium which is extremely rare at restaurants!! Most times they overcook them... Highly recommend!!

Food was good, bartender was a bit standoffish. Asked for ID which is okay but gave an attitude and a demeaning look when doing so. Vibe of the restaurant was completely thrown off by her attitude. Even seen her give another person at the bar an attitude. Not sure if she didn’t want to be there or if there was a scheduling issue but that should not be taken out on the guests. Visit was on 8/15 around 12pm

Theresa was very attentive and very kind, fantastic service! We got buffalo chicken egg rolls which were delicious and crispy. The grouper basket with fries was cooked perfectly and not dry at all, great flavor. The club was also super fresh and delicious. Generous portions and also very good drinks.

We always have such a great time here, the servers are super friendly and always nice and fast. We love the Lebee’s burger and the Nutella calzone desert is to die for! We went there for Father’s Day and had really good specials. Overall, I recommend this place.

Had the margherita pizza and some French fries. Delicious, and enjoyed sitting outside.

We were in Libee's for College football and a draft beer. They have a very nice selection of craft and local brewery beers . We ordered the Meatball al Forno. It is prepared in the pizza open. Three oversized meatballs. With delicious sauce and toasted buttered chibatta bread. The thing that made the meatballs unique was they added ricotta to the mozzarella over the top. Delicious!

We are visited here while on vacation. Excellent food, very clean, Excellent prices. Thanks Zack for Excellent service, friendly conversation, and helpful food suggestions. Thanks to the Manager and the owner for a pleasant experience and wonderful staff. 5- STARS ALL DAY LONG. 👍🙏

Very good experience each time we go. Friendly staff and good food.

Takeout is off to a fantastic start when the friendly hostess (Faith) answers the phone. Service-orientated and super sweet, she even made recommendations. Pizza was thin crust and classic brick oven, absolutely perfect! The cheese curds were very good, just needed more sauce. Wedge salad-very generous portion. French onion soup was delicious and no skimping on cheese! For those who remember the “old” bars in this space, you won’t recognize it. It’s clear a lot of effort has been made to turn this into a fun, local hangout with high quality food. Will order again soon.

Great sports bar and awesome foot. There are lots of TVs to watch the game. Very updated decor and modern food list! We loved the French onion soup. I enjoyed my fried green tomato BLT. Truffle tots were crisp and tasty!

Excellent! We were greeted at the entrance of the parking lot by the owner himself and he helped us park. We were seated immediately and chose to sit outdoors. Awesome atmosphere as they had live music and the weather was perfect for having breakfast on the water. The food was delicious and service exceptional. We witnessed the owner and wait staff helping a boat dock as well. I highly recommend this place! I wish I would have taken more photos but this is one of the view from our table.

Beachcomber is a lovely place to eat, it has spectacular seating on the water and plenty of it. The particular dish I ordered (wish I could remember) was a bit bland, but the burgers are phenomenal and so are the fries. The menu is small as well, so there’s only a few options unless you’re going to the specials menu. They had a great selection of drink specials, but what really made this place great was the AMAZING baked goods and coffee inside. If you catch yourself passing the area and don’t have time to sit and eat, the pastries and coffee alone make it worth a stop in. There’s also an extremely friendly and adorable cat that likes to hangout out front so that definitely earned this place some points.

We had such a great experience here! The drinks were spot on — refreshing and perfectly made. The highlight, though, was the strawberry shortcake dessert… absolutely incredible! Light, fresh, and so delicious — truly the best place we went in Englewood! Highly recommend!

Such a clean and aesthetic restaurant! There was so much seating, indoor and outdoor. The menu is limited though the prices are reasonable and there are many drink options! I really enjoyed the mahi fish sandwich, fries, and sweet tea :) Great option for a meal or snack while in the Manasota Key area! Would recommend :)

We were actually kind of disappointed with our experience at Beachcomber. I have not left many non-5-star reviews. The menu selection was small, and really only offered very basic options that seemed like they could make with a minimal kitchen. The service was also very slow; we actually wondered if we’d been forgotten about after ordering drinks. We did really enjoy the views and vibe. There was live music, and we actually saw a dolphin swimming around in the canal. We also saw a pelican and snowy egret.

Beautiful views, great food, super nice family! We absolutely love this place. UPDATE: been back 4 or 5 times, wonderful every time. Saw dolphins up close in the canal. Pelicans diving. Watching the boats come & go. OMG try the BOOZY DOLE!! Staff are always so nice. Live music often. This place is magical and is my favorite.

Really can’t say enough great things about this place. Family owned, beautiful setting, great management. You instantly feel like you’re on vacation in the tropics. We ate lunch, went for a bike ride, and came back for dessert - worth a trip here just for the soft-serve pineapple / vanilla ice cream on a sunny Florida day!

We've had dinner here a few times and eventhou the service is usually very slow the food was always good. Their prime rib and fish and chips dinners are always delicious. They have some great salads as well and an awesome liver and onions dinner. We tired them for lunch over the weekend and we must have gotten the slowest waitress ever. The Philly steak and turkey club sandwiches were both excellent. The grilled chicken sandwich was extremely dry and loaded with black pepper, and no it wasn't a blackened sandwich either. My son in law did their hamburger challenge. He ordered it medium rare and it came out so well done he said it was like eating saw dust. It seems this place is a hit and miss kinda place depending on who's in the kitchen. They do have live music on the weekends and it's always nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy a cold beverage.

We went to Ricaltini's for the Let's Eat Englewood Event and stayed for the entertainment; Everett Farrell. Dinner was one of the best we've had so far and if those little crab cake balls aren't are the regular menu, they should be! I managed a few pics of apps and salad but dinner looked so fantastic that we jumped right in and I didn't get photos of those plates.

Visited early evening on March 24, the place was crowded and very loud, plus the band was very loud don't go there with a headache. The waitstaff was pleasant and prompt. The food was good, however there is a oscillating fan mounted to the blue painted wall that was on, when I looked up at it only to find it disgustingly dirty like it hasn't been cleaned in years, so we turned it off. I then started looking around and found numerous dirty walls, a dirty speaker hanging over another table where people were eating. Outside of building no better. That building needs a hellova cleaning and new paint. Attached are a few pics.

Great, laid back eatery. Food was great and affordable. I had the fish tacos. There was live entertainment and outdoor games set up for use. Will definitely go back.

Food is good, I've already tried the wings, bisque, ahi tuna, crab cakes (the taste of the peppers is really strong, didn't like it), fried ravioli, basket of fried fish... Glass of wine is big Staff are really friendly. The environment is nice, but inside has a strong smell of wood. It is a good place, and I like to go there when I am in the area.

Arrived hungry, left FULL and with leftovers! The Tini Burger is a WINNER and if you're up for the Tini Challenge you might win a free Tee! You'll have to visit Ricaltini's to experience the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the expanded outdoor patio with live music, and the Tini Burger!

Nice neighbor restaurant. Live music. My wife had the grouper basket, came with 3 large pieces, she really enjoyed it. I had the seafood Diablo, spicy but not to hot. Lots of seafood in it. The seafood bisque was quite tasty also. They do smoke in the back where the live band is though. Good bar with craft beers as well.

Zeke’s came recommended by local friends so we stopped in at 1:00 on a Friday to treat ourselves to a quick burger. The friends said the burgers were particularly good. They were only pretty good. Cooked the way I like but with a dry bun. They weren’t very busy but it took 40 minutes for our food to arrive at the table. French fries tasted previously frozen. I know they’re all frozen but these tasted it. Had to ask for and wait for ketchup and mustard all the while the top bun is off and my hamburger is getting colder by the minute. I saw the server had to deliver food to another table before she brought my ketchup. I guess you have to prioritize but at the expense of my burger cooling off after a 40 minute wait! It was a $30. lunch including tip, iced tea and a coffee. Not worth it. It wasn’t awful but they need to work on it.

Absolutely fantastic. Great service and great food. I would definitely go back! One son had the pancakes and the other got the cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. Lobster cake was delicious, and I loved the salad on my wife's tacos!

Loved the food . We would have preferred to sit outside but the smoke made us go back inside. I had the cheese soup, which was awesome. We shared the fish dip which was very tasty as well. We got seated quick and the beer and apps came quickly. We had a new waiter and he forgot the salads. They arrived quickly once we mentioned it. I thought about forgetting the salad but glad I didn’t. The Caesar salad was one the best I had in a long time! My wife had the pollo ranchero, she loved it. I had the Cobia Florentine and it was fantastic. If we could have sat outside and got our salads this would be 5 stars. I know there is nothing you can do about the smokers outside. Thanks everyone

Our first time here today for lunch and we absolutely loved it. Everything was fresh and delicious and there was something on the menu for everyone. Our server Shannon was really nice and accommodating. We will definitely be back to try breakfast and dinner!

This review is challenging. As you pull up, it looks kind of like an old bar with a large covered front porch with several dining tables. A rickety wood deck area to the left and a gravel parking area. At first glance of the inside, it reminded me of a family style pizza joint, with a large full bar toward the back. We were seated immediately in a large comfortable booth. Our server, Shannon, took our drink order quickly as we looked at the huge menu. The food selection was incredible. Several very 'up scale' items, that can only be accomplished by a chef, with very reasonable prices. My husband chose the 'Black & Bluesy' sirloin, I chose Linguini Alfredo with Grilled Shrimp. Our drinks arrived, a craft draft and a Long Island. That was the strongest Long Island I've ever had and I could only drink 1/2 of it. I'm kind of a picky eater, I didn't care for the mixed greens salad, but my husband loved it. The Clam Chowder was delicious. The Alfredo was bland, but the shrimp were PERFECT. The steak was AMAZING. It was cooked perfectly, but very salty. My overall take on Zeke's is.. the food is GREAT ! Don't let the appearance keep you away...

I thoroughly enjoyed the food when it was finally delivered to the table. They are advertising for help and it is needed. They could easily earn 5 star's if the food was delivered in a reasonable time frame. They were not busy so the help is needed. All the restaurants in the area are in need of help.

This is a great place to get breakfast. My only complaint is that they ran out of regular coffee by 10am on a Sunday. Luckily the decaf tasted delicious. The food was amazing, my husband and I both got the Ruby Benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. The crab cakes they sat on were beyond yummy. We found out that was what the started with, the best crab cakes around! The service was great, the waiter was kind and friendly. Highly recommend!

If I could leave zero stars, I would. the longtime Pool Guy that I used for years sold his company to this company and had an awful experience from day one. I looked at my pool today and noticed that it was full of leaves and the skimmers weren’t in properly and completely full and asked for the owner who I was told doesn’t talk to customers they sent the manager who is rude and said this is the service I signed up for. I terminated their service and he backed up aggressively and extremely fast out of my driveway. Find somebody else to do your pool other than this company

Prices were reasonable and on site customer service was good. The only issue we had was misunderstanding of the payment cycle and date. The other issue we had was communication by phone, it was very hard to get a return phone call from the phone line after calling and leaving messages. Would recommend them for their prices and service if you have patience with billing and communication process.

This place SUCKS! They've charge my card for two months after cancelling service. They do not return emails or phone messages (because they never answer the phone). While they were servicing they never scrubbed or vacuumed! Also charged me over $100 for a $35 filter on Amazon without my approval. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM! BEWARE AND DO NOT USE!

Do NOT use this companies service. Very dissatisfied with HP's lack of service and neglect in returning my numerous calls. The guy didn't clean my pool thourghly for services charged. I'm then charged for supplies that I didn't authorize. This made me mad because I tried to reach the office to tell them I wasn't happy but they were quick to take my money. Now they just increased fees for inadequate cleaning.

Do not use! Was also economy pools before. They don't answer the phone or call you back. Very disappointed.

It's for the second time these guys showed up on my property, parked on my driveway and acted as if at home. Scared my children and my pets, even tried to service my pool. Needless to say, I never hired them. There's something seriously wrong with these people.

Staff broke equipment and would not admit to their mistake to management. Not an trustworthy staff or honorable management to atleast compensate for their mistake. Recommend seek another source.
