“On Sept 11th my husband & I enjoyed a delightful and most delicious meal. It was our anniversary and the staff made it even more special. The only downside is when we paid the bill we were not told that the tip would be POS entered separately from our account. My husband checked our account and he thought the tip had not been given. So he made a trip to Carmelo's to ask about why and to correct. He was told the tip was done separately - think this should be told to their guests. Thank you for a lovely evening and amazing food.”

“We called with a party of 10 and got a recording stating that reservations were not taken. We arrived and were told that there were no tables available and that we should have made reservations. We explained that we tried to and showed the Hostess the Website and number we called. We asked to speak with the Manager to make him aware of the website. Travis introduced himself and seated us temporarily outside( it was not the best of Florida weather this night) and had staff circle heaters around our table and brought us complimentary appetizers until they could accommodate all of us. Travis gave us his personal cell # and in our opinion went above and beyond to make this a Special Evening for all of us. This is not our first time here, but it was with such a large group.

Mainely Seafood Cafe 16520 Burnt Store Rd Unit 102, Punta Gorda Fish & Chips • $

“Visited Mainely for the first time today, and we were so impressed! The conch fritters were small but delicious. I took a chance and ordered the hot lobster roll. Best lobster roll I've had in my life! Being from Massachusetts, I've tried my share, and they are always overpriced and underwhelming. This was reasonably priced and loaded with big chunks of lobster. My sons got the fish and chips and the grouper fingers. Fish and chips wasn't the traditional puffy New England breading, but my son still liked it. Hubby got a Po Boy full of huge shrimp on a big toasted hoagie. The fries were outstanding, and there was actually vinegar on the table (iykyk)! The only negative was that the air conditioning did not seem to be working and the oil in the air burned our eyes a little. Overall, this little no-frills-just-great-food spot is highly recommended and this New England girl will be back to try the scallops and fried clam strips! p.s. I would love to see clam cakes on the menu!”

Waffle House 9092 Mac Dr, Punta Gorda Breakfast • $

“During our recent visit to the Waffle House in Punta Gorda, we enjoyed a delightful breakfast. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, while my fiancé opted for two eggs, grits, and toast. Both dishes were served promptly and prepared to perfection, resulting in a very satisfying meal. The only suggestion is to put a little less butter on the grits. The cleanliness of the restaurant was very good, however the bathrooms, while generally clean, could benefit from a more thorough cleaning in the future (floor tiles and tops of tiles on wall). Nonetheless, I felt comfortable using the facilities. Our waitress, Christina, provided excellent service, contributing to the overall positive experience. For those seeking a reliable breakfast spot in Punta Gorda, this Waffle House is highly recommended. Even with the $.50 per egg surcharge, the price was very reasonable. I do not mind paying the surcharge. You can tell this restaurant is managed well.”

“Walking into this place feels like stepping into an Italian family’s home; warm, welcoming, and full of heart. From the moment we sat down, you could tell this wasn’t just another restaurant… this is a labor of love. The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish tasted homemade, rich with flavor, and cooked with care, the kind of meal where you can tell the recipes have been perfected over generations. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was bold and comforting, and every bite felt intentional. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the people. You can feel the pride the family has in their food and their service. They treat you like family, not customers, and that warmth makes the experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food made with passion, generous portions, and genuine hospitality, this place is a must-visit. Support local, support family-owned and most importantly, come hungry. We’ll absolutely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We found our new go to restaurant. I called today to ask for a take out order. My husband wasn’t feeling well today and said he really wanted a nice pork belly ramen bowl. I looked up where I could go to get this and this restaurant came up near me. I gave it a shot and called a take out order. The lady who answered was super helpful in helping me with my order since I wasn’t familiar with the menu and was very patient with me. When I got there to pick up, the staff was amazing and made the place feel so welcoming. They seemed really happy and made the whole place shine. They packaged everything really nicely. When I got home to drop my husbands off, he was very happy and it was exactly what he was wanting. I brought mine to work and put it together there since they packaged the broth separately. Was absolutely amazing! Totally made my Friday. I got the shrimp one since the lady I spoke with on the phone recommended it to me based on what I was looking for since I wasn’t familiar with the menu. Amazing recommendation. Will absolutely order from here again in the near future. Prices were really reasonable for how good it was.”

The staff are warm and inviting, always willing to go above and beyond to say: “YES, we can do that.” The owners and management are very friendly and welcoming to all their patrons the tables are covered in craft paper and coloring items to give everyone the ability to explore their creativity and the homemade ice cream and desserts are always scratch made, but it doesn’t stop there. They have an assortment of savory hot meals such as sandwiches, hotdogs and Lobster rolls. If you have a chance come check out GiGi’s and see for yourself. They are located in the heart of downtown Punta Gorda and they’re not too far away from shopping and other eateries and watering holes. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does.”

I personally didn't care for the gravy (with the chicken dinner), but it was okay. Everything else was great. Portion sizes are large. Prices are very, very good. Their menu is diverse, and I'd love to visit again to try some of their other offerings. Great, cozy ambiance feel to the place as well.”

“I went to the store next door his bar yesterday to get some food, but as you can imagine, my work truck didn't start. The young woman, who I assume is the bar's owner, stopped everything she was doing to help me get my truck started and gave me a jump start. She didn't give up at all, and she also got an older man, who I think is named Will, to help me get a jump start. I simply wanted to express my gratitude to her and her friends for their kind and helpful assistance.

Thank you!”

The only downside is when we paid the bill we were not told that the tip would be POS entered separately from our account. My husband checked our account and he thought the tip had not been given. So he made a trip to Carmelo's to ask about why and to correct. He was told the tip was done separately - think this should be told to their guests. Thank you for a lovely evening and amazing food.”

“Golden Corral Punta Gorda 5-18-24: Stopped by for dinner at 4:30ish and this place was packed. The parking lot was full and once inside the right side of all the tables were occupied. This place was clean and everything around the food areas were also clean. I have been to this place a couple times as my dad who is 92 loves this buffet and all the food choices. The main food bar is packed with all kinds of food items to choose from. To start at one end is Steak, Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers, Onion Rings, Ribs, Meat Loaf, Fried Shrimp, Chicken Wings, Fried Chicken, Bourbon Street Chicken, Pot Pie, Fried or baked Fish, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Corn, Macaroni & Cheese, Rolls, Baked Potatoes, all kinds of vegetables this is just to name a few. On the Taco bar there is Taco Meat, Shells and all the fixings to make any kind of tacos you want. Now the salad bar is packed with all kinds of fruit, and they also have crab salad. There is so much to choose from and too much to name. The desert bar has all kinds of cakes and pies plus ice cream and some fixings for that. I use to get pie and bread pudding for dessert, it was so good. I don’t care for the ice cream but others in my party loved it. I got the steak for the main course, and they will do it how you like it. The Steak was good, not too tough, and not too chewy, it was large enough. I always get the Fried Shrimp and Mashed Potatoes and they both were good and hot. I make sure I get some Pot Pie as it reminds me of back home. It was hot, full of Chicken and very good. I end up with the crab salad now its imitation crab but its good enough for me as I try to stay away from deserts. This place has never disappointed me as far as the quantity of food they have. It is a buffet and if you want a 5 diamond or Michelin star restaurant this may not be the place for you. If you want a large selection of food and food that is tasty this may be just the place for you. I say try it and draw your own conclusion. I give this place 4 stars out of 5 just for the selection alone. I know we will be back soon. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ See You At My Next Adventure… Gulf Coast Terry”

I ordered extra to take home and my family was obsessed with it too (my dad could not stop talking about it, saying the dough was exactly like the OG Cuban pizzas from his childhood). Every single bite tasted fresh and made with care.
What made the experience even better was the service. Everyone was so warm, friendly, and attentive. They treated us with such kindness that it honestly felt like being welcomed by family. When you find a place with both amazing food and people who genuinely care about their customers, you leave feeling very happy and satisfied.
I live a bit far from this location, but thankfully they recently opened one in Cape Coral, which means my whole family will definitely be going! If you are craving real delicious Cuban pizza made the right way, this place is absolutely worth the visit!”
