About Us

The history of Englewood, Florida as a fishing village is embraced at Stump Pass. Stump Pass Marina traces back to the “Hicks Marina” built-in 1947 by brothers, Wiley and Harley Hicks, with help from their father, Wiley Hicks, and their Uncle John. The basin, where the boats are put into the water at Hicks Marina was literally hand-dug! That project took 13 years and in 1960 the marina opened.

Over the years, it had several names including “The Redfish Lodge” and later “Fish-tale Marina”, when it was known for its swimming pool and snack bar. In 1970, the marina became Stump Pass Marina Inc. A Chickee hut and bar restaurant was later added, known as the Stump Pass Grille.

Many significant improvements have been made since renaming to Lighthouse Grill and Tiki Bar to serve our growing customer base, and take full advantage of the beautiful sunset views over Lemon Bay.

Our suppliers include small, family-owned fishing companies in Southwest Florida and the Gulf Coast, all dedicated to delivering fish and seafood with a commitment to absolute freshness, exceptional quality, and with sound, sustainable practices. Truly fresh and locally supplied are the reasons that prices and selections vary from day to day.

In addition to our superior fish and seafood, the kitchen is proud of our “Signature Smokehouse”, a best-in-class commercial wood-fired BBQ smoker. It’s the key to preparing our savory meats.

Our cuisine consists of carefully-selected vegetables and elements that form the basis of our menu – complimented by our impressive selection of uniquely crafted beers, and tropical drinks, served all day long and especially enjoyed during our spectacular sunsets!
