There are only 6 parking spots, lol, that go in one direction., so when you leave you have to back out. It's a pickle! I'm not sure where you park when this area is full. Cute, cozy, friendly spot full of locals relaxing and having drinks. I asked, wheres the grilled burgers? The lady replied, we haven't served burgers in weeks. However, you can buy a hot dog from their rotisserie. No thank you, this is not what I expected. They are Backyard Bar minus the Grill part. FIVE STARS because they are doing great as a local bar. I'm writing this review to update previous reviews ... and give you a heads up.

Our first table wobbled so badly that we asked to move to another nearby. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills Old Florida atmosphere. Plenty of fans kept the air moving in the heat. Our server took our drink and food orders promptly, but we later had to flag her down for refills and extra napkins. What We Ordered * Chef's Ceviche: Octopus with lime juice, tomato, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, olive oil, and avocado, served with tortilla chips. * Harbour Island Bahama Mama: A half-pound burger topped with pineapple, mozzarella, and teriyaki, served on a toasted brioche bun with lettuce and tomato. * Maine Lobster Roll: Lobster with tarragon aioli, mixed greens, and tomato on a brioche roll, served with a side salad. Food and Overall Experience The Chef's Ceviche was fresh but unremarkable, and the portion felt small. The burger, however, was excellent--cooked perfectly to medium-rare, with the pineapple adding a flavorful twist that elevated the dish. The coleslaw and lobster roll were both good, though neither stood out. The side salad was fresh and satisfying. Overall, the burger was the clear highlight of the meal.

My wife and I each got a fish sandwich and my sister got hotdog and we got an onion ring and each got a pop. It was $64. I had to get up and walk around to find someone to get condiments, the food was served in paper trays, and it was only fair, ridiculously overpriced and very poor service. I was really hoping it would be good because I boat in that area often. I was hoping it would be a good spot to eat.

While we were there, all the workers were respectful, kind, smiling, helpful. We actually stopped in with family members who wanted to stay near us. We popped in and were lucky enough to get a room for the night. We couldn't have been greeted more friendlier by every person that works in this beautiful resort. My family was given a room promptly. What a pleasant surprise that they had a few openings. We were graciously upgraded to a beautiful gulf side suite. For our family it was their first time there. My husband and I have stayed there once before we purchased our home when it was previously owned. The old name was the Wanna B Inn. . But let me say this the upgrades and the amenities that are at theresort are like no other You don't have to worry about renting bikes, kayaks, chairs, boogie boards. They even have a golf area, pickle board, chairs to lounge you name it they have it. If you don't see it ask they will promptly make it happen for you. The Wanna B Inn made us fall in love with Manasota key. The main reason why we bought in Englewood Florida. However, this resort will make us always come back to stay. The Manasota key resort will be out stay-cation for many years to come. Thank you to the staff/owners for working so hard to bring back this magical place we call home. Your hard work devotion and dedication. Will never go unnoticed by our community. You've also made a great impact to our family with your warm smiles and generosity. Visiting for the first time. We will be back real soon! With lots of friends.
