My wife chose the chicken salad wrap with the homemade chips. She loved it. Chips were not salted. I ordered the Ken & barb burger medium , with potato salad. It was ok juicy, greasy, flavorless same with the potato salad. We will try it again for dinner but not impressed. $47 with tip 2 sodas no dessert.

Beautiful waterfront restaurant with a HUGE tiki-hut. We went on Easter for lunch, not knowing it…read morewas a man Easter buffet and a very limited menu. As vegetarians there were ZERO options on the limited menu. The server was super sweet and let us check out the buffet before deciding to stay or not. All the sides were vegetarian and the price of 24.99 each wasn't too bad, so we stayed. The buffet included ham, turkey, fried flounder as the mains, with sides of mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, carrots, mixes veggies, Mac and cheese, rolls, corn bread, coleslaw, and roasted potatoes. It also included a small salad bar and about 4 dessert options. There was also Easter candy scattered on the table and plastic eggs to open with treats inside-- making the lunch extra fun! As adults we never get to open easter eggs! We also enjoyed the live music. Five stars, but subtracted one for the lack of true vegetarian options with the limited menu. Thanks for making our day special!

I believe the best food can be found in hidden gems like this! The reviews convinced me to give…read morethem a try. It's TRUE that the Backyard Bar & Grill is located next to Skips Marina. 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.

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.

Wow... He was condescending, rude and obnoxious while insulting customers, dropping f-bombs and ignoring customers with his selective hearing. My wife doesn't even want to come here after his behavior on multiple occasions! I don't care how long your "valued" bartender has been with your company. Sometimes you must make a change for the betterment of the company and for the customer. Loyalty has its limits and customer experience should dictate your response, not blind loyalty....
