My husband and I were vacationing in Anna Maria Island when we happened upon this restaurant. Boy, were we glad we did! It has a great atmosphere and delicious food. The lobster mac&cheese appetizer was the best I've had. My husband had the crap cake dinner and I had grilled salmon. Portion sizes were good size and the meals were presented nicely. The staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend a visit if your in the area.
By far the BEST place to eat in The Keys! A group of 10 ordered different items from the menu and shared. All so tasty and full of flavor! Well worth the wait and price. Large portions and staff was amazing!
This was the best meal we have had in a long time. The Bar Harbor shrimp scallop and lobster was to die for. We will definitely take a two hour drive to dine here again. Corey K is a great server and made my wife's birthday experience at The Lazy Lobster one she will remember! Great restaurant with great ambiance. Don't hesitate to check it out.
My wife and I ate here three times during our stay in Sarasota. Every time the food was delicious... crab salad, lazy lobster, lobster Mac and cheese, swordfish, mahi, shrimp... and the wine was good too. The tiramisu and cheesecake were "to die for" according to my wife. The wait staff was great too. Competent and friendly. This will definitely be a destination for us in future visits.
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!! We did some studying and this was reported to be the #1 place in LBK, and if it isn’t, I’ll challenge you to show me better!! The only downside is that the lobster bisque was just average. Calamari was fresh, not frozen (restaurant GM stopped by our table & told us what made the difference) and you must get the creole mustard with it. The lobster escargot dish? You’ve got to be kidding me, I wanted to take a bath in it!! Ahi tuna & shrimp Norma for our entrees (I know that’s a lot, we couldn’t decide!!) we’re both hands down insanely good. I’m an older dude, and I’ve eaten out a lot, this is top 15 or 20 restaurant meals of all time, and I’ve eaten all over the US. We’ll come back in a couple days for appetizers & dessert
Found this place by accident and love it! Our server TJ was great, and the lobster bisque and lobster pasta a la vodka was excellent! Will definitely be back.
This is our favorite restaurant on Longboat Key. Very friendly folks, delicious seafood and early bird specials! The lobster is fantastic, best lobster bisque ever!
The food was delicious, I wish I’d have made a reservation so we could have sat in the garden area. But we sat at the bar which was nice. Our waiter was on top of it and the food absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait until next time
Gina R took care of us on this Thursday and she was very good and knowledgeable. The food it’s amazing and it’s fresh. Everything was delicious and we highly recommended. We were visiting from kissimmee,FL and decided to give it a try and we do not regret it at all. Best decision ever !!!

Great atmosphere, the outside garden is beautiful, we choose to dine inside because it was a little too hot outside on the evening we went. The food was delicious, the servers were all very polite and professional. All and all a great experience. I will definitely be going back
The Lazy Lobster does not disappoint. A delicious meal is always expected and a delicious meal is always prepared!
Truly outstanding food and service. We sat outside on the patio - perfect weather for it. We were impressed that they dispose of left over water right into their garden areas. For the eco friendly, this is great. We had Heather as our server and she was GREAT. I had the Lazy Lobster (yum) and husband had the Fish n'Chips. Both very good. We will be going back. Make reservations, just to be sure. Happy hour is from 4-5:30p
I had the Bar Harbor and it was phenomenal!! My husband had the fried fish platter and loved it!
Incredibly good food and excellent service. Had the July 4 Special: lobster tail, shrimp & ribs with fries & slaw. Each bite was wonderful and better than the last. Will definitely return.
We had NO reservations but it was a Monday night end of October..snowbirds hadn't arrived yet..Lobster bisque is wonderful! Old Fashioneds were right on! Service was excellent, ambience was warm, romantic. I highly recommend this as a great dinner out on Longboat Key.
Well run operation....As a year round LBK resident, I think its the best restaurant on the island. I enjoyed going there before the pandemic, but they adapted as well as anyone to make take out/curbside pickup easy and efficient. The food and service is always good, as well.
Very good food and very quick service. Kitchen got our entrées out before our appetizer, but the mistake was noticed really quick. We did not mind that things got to us in that order, but they still did not charged us for the crab cake 👍 Good key lime pie! Lobster was cooked perfectly. Outdoor dining is available.
We had such a stellar experience at The Lazy Lobster on Longboat Key! Absolutely delicious food, from the bread and pepper jelly to the salmon to the incredible lobster bisque. Excellent ambiance— love the very well kept saltwater aquarium. Heather P took excellent care of us and was so accommodating in every single way. The hostess who welcomed us in was so friendly and nice as well! We can’t wait to come back!!
We stopped in for an early dinner without a reservation. Seated right away. Attentive waiter Eric. Food was hot and delicious! I ordered shrimp Norma, wonderful. Disappointed already out of Brussels sprouts . My husband had baby back ribs and coconut shrimp. Even the fries were hot and delicious. Love the atmosphere, very relaxing part of our vacation. We will be back!! Jill
My family had dinner at Lazy Lobster on Christmas day. The restaurant was extremely busy. Jackie was our waitress.
She was truly wonderful. Our food was delicious as always.
Michelle, the manager checked on us and was quick to resolve any issues. We were very pleased with our visit and looking forward to returning in the near future.
Cozy atmosphere. Cheerful Christmas decorations in wonderful playful nautical theme. The coconut shrimp were delicious as was the clam chowder and lobster bisque. Warm rolls too. Yummy dinner recommend a second trip over.
Excellent seafood selection. FRIENDLY PROFESSIONAL Service. Highly recommend
Lovely experience for dinner! Scott was a great server, and the southwest chicken soup is incredible. The ahi tuna salad was delicious.
