Calling all Foodies to Englewood Beach/Manasota Key, Florida

After the Beachfront Bargain Hunt Episodes aired on HGTV featuring our very own Jim Benson (Owner/Broker of Paradise Cove Properties), our phones rang off the hook! Shocking? Well, not really! How could you not want a piece of our little paradise!  As I little reminder, I have included a short video of what the area has to offer PLUS featuring a couple of our amazing restaurants.  

Whether you’re taking a break from the sun on Englewood Beach to enjoy a cold beverage and local grouper sandwich or coming in from a long day fishing our local waters, Manasota Key/Englewood has restaurants for any occasion. Today I’m spotlighting only three of the local favorites; Lock and KeyFlounders on the Beach Restaurant & Tiki Bar, and Farlow's on the Water.

Lock and Key is a local favorite, known for it’s happy hour ‘pull tabs’, frozen drinks, and rocking night life. But don’t let it’s night life fool you, it’s the perfect twist of casual fine dining - highly recommend for Sunday brunch, a formal dinner in front of the fish tank, or casual drinks on the outside patio with the gulf breeze. Click here to view more about Lock and Key

Don’t worry about the sand between your toes while you enjoy live music, a game of corn hole, and a nice refreshing beverage from the tiki bar at Flounders on the Beach Restaurant and Tiki Bar. And no worries, if you leave a sandal, you can probably spot it on the wall, along with all the other ‘lost, and not yet found’ flip flops. Boat docking is available too... because we don’t always ride our beach cruisers everywhere! Click here to view more about Flounders on the Beach

Park the beach cruiser and take a short drive to Farlow's on the Water, located on the main land just 1.6 miles from the Tom Adams Bridge. And I promise YOU WON’T REGRET IT!  With some of the best food in town, plus live music every night! and did I mention the food… Click here to view more about Farlow's on the Water
