“Top notch service and experience at Cielo. Went with family and waiter helped identify suitable options for our picky eaters. Calamari fritti and roasted Brussels sprouts were the starters. Fish soup (zuppa di pesci) was excellent. Black cod entree was a bit disappointing as it did not have much flavor for such a large serving.“
“Sanibel Cafe is a must when you come to Sanibel - the ambiance and service is unmatched. Our kids had the m&m pancakes (yummy), we had the sanibel omelette and the breakfast quesadilla - both were so yummy! Be sure to check out their homemade raspberry jam, it's to die for and you can buy some to take home too!“
“CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE -About a 10 minute scenic bicycle ride from where we stay in Florida sits Sanibel’s American Legion Post 123. We’ve passed this place many times, always seeing the “Public Welcome” sign. I wondered what the deal was so I did a quick Internet search. The ‘typical’ review said “Best Cheeseburger on the island”. Really, could this be? On our last day in town Cindy and I took the bike ride, curious to check it out.If you prefer restaurants with a fancy decor and an extensive menu I recommend avoiding this place. You also may want to avoid it if you don’t like dogs. The Post Commander’s dog Abby is a Regular at the bar.If you enjoy hanging with some Veterans and real locals, while eating an incredible Burger with a cold Beer then this place is for you. The 8 ounce Burger was so good that I had to ask: “Is this a special blend of meat?” He said “No, but the local butcher grinds it to our spec, fresh every morning.”This was a great local experience and we’ll be bicycling there again.#CaptainCooksBackyard #AmericanLegion #eatlocal #sanibel #sanibelisland #cheeseburgers“
“this place now calls itself the BRGR restaurant as it has renewed itself after recovery from the hurricane Ian as part of the Sanibel Island Resort. They place is beautiful and a new favorite of mine. Had a Black and Bleu burger (relates to the name of the restaurant) with cole slaw and it was excellent! Very high quality, done just right, tasted wonderful and included bacon in the burger. Tried fries from one of our party and they were exceptional, great taste and crunch. Our server was friendly and took great care of our party. we parked our bikes at the rack behind the restaurant in the area where the parking lot leads back to palms and passes their pool (with bar) toward the path to the beach where they have lounge chairs that they furnish to guests on the beach that has recently had its sand replenished by the island. A great visit, we'll be back.“
“We arrived at 4:20 to avoid long waiting which happens here; no reservations accepted. Drinks came fast as did our appetizers of blackened grouper bites which were delicious. I tried Triple tail for the first time and I am hooked and can't wait to order again. Other dinners ordered were the mahi tacos and grouper tacos as well as the shrimp burger. Everyone was super satisfied with their meals. The music which started at 5:30 was also outstanding. We usually eat here one a season and it's always one of our top places to go.“
“Great quality food & very friendly and welcoming staff. I had the South of the Border omelette, it was one of the best omelettes I’ve had in a long time, and the hash browns were cooked nice and crispy and not soggy. My wife loved the biscuits and gravy. Prices are super reasonable too, 3 of us ate for $36 total. We will definitely come back next time we visit!“
“We celebrated my moms 70th bday. Upon making reservations we did mention the bday. Completely surprised to walk in and have the table decorated with party hats and table decorations. Also free dessert! They were wonderful to celebrate with and the steak was amazing!“
“First off our waiter Nancy was so nice and just awesome to have as a server. The food is amazing I love this place no matter what you order I promise you you will go back. Visit this place you won't regret it they have a wide variety menu. This time I got the turkey bacon club because I love a good sandwich and the soup I want that recipe.Went there bout 2 weeks ago and the waitress something about her don't sit right with me she bring me a dirty spoon and not just that a small peace of glass was in the soup. Showed her she didn't look surprised and as she's looking at it she drops it and then act like she didn't see it. Everytime we find a good restaurant it's always something but we won't be back there sorry I bragged about y'all to everyone but now it's y'all lost two customers because I'm never going back.“
“Finally got to visit front Porch, overall had a nice evening, small plates were yummy and cocktails were good, maybe could have a few more salad choices, our server Sam was excellent, recommended good choices from the menu, was engaging and attentive without being intrusive, we will be “

“Great dining experience right on the water - great menu selection - great drinks, great view, amazing service!! Everything was great! Our waitress was super!! She had just gotten back from a vacation in Costa Rica.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu!“
“Our group of 6 arrived at 6:30 on a Friday night. We got drinks from the bar as they told us of an hour wait; beautiful night so no problem. The crown royal on the rocks was a super generous pour- I'm from the Chicago area and usually get half the alcohol and charged a lot more so this was a welcome change. The server was top notch and somehow memorized all 6 orders and no mistakes when the food came. Orders included fried shrimp. white fish and shrimp tacos. Side dishes: steak fries, sweet potato fries, french fries and clam chowder. Everything was great. I was especially happy with the home made steak fries. I guess the cole slaw left a little to be desired. It was a great night with views of the marina as the day turned to evening. Glad that the Junkanoo is up and running even though I miss the one on the beach.“
“Have you ever seen an unhappy whale? No. Ya know why? They eat deliciously, bask in the sun and are surrounded by their fun little pod. What's not to be happy about!The Whale is the place to come if you're looking to be surrounded by happy, carefree people who are just out here loving life. Both customers and staff...these people are living their best lives.It's the place to come if you're hungry, and even if you didn't know you were...once you get a whiff of the deliciousness wafting through the air, your belly will instantly put you on blast. And you'll be hooked, EVERYTHING is sooooo good. And it's even better with an iced-cold bevvie. Or two. Or seven.The Whale is always my first stop when in Fort Myers. Good thing I don't live there...I might turn into one!“
“Very tasty food, my high octane was great, very tasty desserts, very friendly service. However, it is very loud, so loudness is appropriate for group events. Unfortunately the air conditioning in the location is too cold, but I think the Americans are used to always taking a jacket and a scarf with them for us travelers from Europe ?.Parking: There is a large parking lot right next to the restaurant“

“Civice was amazing as well as the $1 oysters. The oysters were on special. Great local atmosphere and waterfront views.Parking: We always park behind the parking garage and there is usually spaces depending time and day.Wheelchair accessibility: Im Handicaped and use a Cain or walker and no problems. Wheelchair van parking will need to go to actual handicap parking space.“
“Was recomend this restaurant by someone on the flight in, told me the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer was wonderful, so we came for appetizers and desert. Service was great, food was outstanding, views were beautiful. wish I could have stayed for the sunset, request patio seating“
“Amazing that they've re-opened after Ian. Limited menu, limited hours and alot of clean-up still going on. Locals should go down for lunch and support them. Tourists and snow birds need to realize it's going to be awhile before the FMB will be anything resembling a functioning tourist destination.“
“Great place with cold beer and very good food and service. All completely redone since the hurricane.We go several times during our winter stay here and everything is always good. We love sitting outside so we hope they get their tiki roof back up but they do have large umbrellas for shade. Tamra did a great job serving us today.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Level in and out“
“Being an Eagle member from another state, I know this location has a very open setting and is quite welcoming. Everyone was friendly, we got their before the live music, but the bartender was very helpful in letting us know everything that was happening in the time we were in town.“

“Beautiful view from our table. Friendly server. Mahi Mahi sandwich was good, so was the roasted chicken. Could have been a 5 out of 5 if the sides with the chicken (green beans and mashed potatoes) weren't almost tasteless and the curly fries with the fish were hot.“
“Our first time at the Buddha and THE BOOTS band burned up the stage. The house was full and ready to dance, drink, sing and have great time. THE BOOTS are stellar musicians and their vocals are the BEST around. Lead singer Kenny Cox is not only a skilled musician, he has real stage presence and knows how to carry the house along with him. Their brand of country includes old and new: Johnny Cash, Travis Tritt, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard, Jon Pardi, Garth Brooks, Kevin Chesney, etc. Needless to say, we will be back on Wednesday nights!“
“I had lunch here twice in the last week. You would totally pass this place up by looking at the outside, Hurricane Ian did some damage to their awning and they have a tarp over it. But DON'T pass by, they have amazing food. First lunch I got the special which was 3 tacos, beef, chicken and grouper. Excellent. Second time the table got the grouper bites as an appetizer however for one person it would be a meal, soooo good. I got a hamburger as my meal. Excellent flavor. As I said don't pass this place by for lunch or dinner. Prices are extremely reasonable.“

“Bell Tower location. Isabella the manager was outstanding! Not only did she handle hosting/seating but also took on a 20 top and numerous other tables..AT THE SAME TIME. Never frowned or got frustrated. It was a busy night with Smokin Aces playing and the entire staff crushed it! Food was also really good!! Will be back soon for certain.“
“Not your average Waffle Houses. This has to be one of my favorite Waffle Houses. it's too bad it's too far for me. It's always super clean, the service is excellent and food is always quick and good. It feels like you're in a cute neighborhood dinner.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking and ramp are very comfortable for anyone in a wheelchair. .“
“I read that the burgers were good in other reviews and they are spot on with the hamburgers. Very good, hand pressed burgers with toasted bun. Staff was excellent, young girl would stopped by often to refill drinks and remove dirty dishes. Atmosphere is typical bar style, loud and busy. We have lived here for 5 years and this was the first time we tried this Resturant wish we had tried it sooner, we will definitely be back.“
“If we could give this place 10 stars just for the customer service, we would! The food and drinks were good, but Dianne really made the whole experience! She was especially great with all the kids at our table, brought us water bottles for the beach as we were leaving, and was all around incredibly attentive and had a wonderful attitude and was so sweet! Excellent service! We will be back just because of this!“
“I think anyone goes to Annie's knows this place is a staple and really another one of those nice neighborhood restaurants with a lot of regulars. The food is very good they recently remodeled it is my understanding and it looks nice but you can't beat the service the people are right on it. I seen the best best boy ever seen my life he worked harder than I've ever seen any other busboy work.“
“We visited Sunshine Beach Tropical Grill for dinner on 9/21/22. This place is amazing! The view and food were fantastic! Our server, Becky, was wonderful. She was friendly and attentive; she handled all of our endless requests and was super quick attending to us! Doug was also great! My only complaint would be the construction that is being done during dinner time. It takes away from the ambiance!“
“On our trip to Fort Myers with Family my husband and I ate here twice, once just the two of us and then with our entire family group. Both were great stops with outside seating, great views of the bay to watch the pelicans, boats and wildlife. If you like coconut shrimp they have the best coconut shrimp I’ve ever had (I had them twice). Service was good on both occasions. If you want tap beer you’ll need to sit on the upper bar section.“
“Did you know the Cyrstal in Shell Point is open to the public? The staff is super friendly. They treat you like family. The Chef and The Manager comes out of the kitchen to run food to the tables! Not because they were short staffed but because they wanted our group of 15 to eat together while the food was hot!They really cared!!“
“I've been many times and have always had delicious food. Pizzas, fried chicken sandwich, Philly cheese steak, chicken tacos, but my favorite is the fried Haddock sandwich.Parking: Steph is a great cook and she usually checks up with customers to make sure they are satisfied and happy with their food. I'm enjoying new items on the menu too.“
“Absolutely fabulous first experience here! Celebrated our 25th Anniversary and everything from the wonderful staff to the delicious dinner was perfect. Special thanks to our sweet server Jessica and the manager who both were so kind and so accommodating! Made our evening just perfect! Highly recommended!!!“
“Wow! Exceptional staff and 5 star service. Special thanks to Nick, Kader and Carl for working with our daughter to make our 50th anniversary incredibly special. Room comfy & spacious, Food and drinks delicious. We will definitely return.“
“I came to watch the Final Four Saturday games, and there was cars parked in the grass(not that kind of grass smarty pants) & looked nuts to butts on the patio...so I came back the next day at noonish, plenty of seating on the patio, my beers were 2 for 1, my triple decker turkey club was ? and I recommend it with Cole slaw. Seen a Rottweiler/Lab mix almost eat a little ankle biter lap dog on the patio. That would have been totally rad, or unbelievably terrifying depending on which dog your money is on. Hell yes I shall return.“
“Rib City was just starting to get busy, but we did not have to wait. The service was great. The food was very good, but the green beans are way too Salty. By the time we left, there was quite a waiting line. It just goes to show you how popular they are! ?“
“Really cute restaurant and bar. Food is pretty good. Service is decent. Our waitress was ok while serving us. After lunch, the girls went shopping and the boys went to the bar. The waitress came running into the bar right up to my husband, asking where the check was? She was pissed and frantic according to my husband. They told her they left it in cash at the table. She said she didn't see it and was very snappy with him. She immediately ran back outside and must of found the check cause she never came back.You think she would of come and let the guys know and thank them or apologize. The guys were a little upset about basically being accused of stealing.“
“We stopped in tonight for the first time and it was amazing! We had a banana split, brownie sundae and some dipped waffle cones with all different flavors of ice cream, but make sure you don't leave without buying some of the authentic baklava....it's amazing!!!!“
“Just smoking cigarettes and drinking from a Chalice if you know what I'm talking about! I only go here Thursday nights for the wonderful Chrissie. Have some drinks, smoke some cigarettes, say hello to a friend. Always a great time. No food...Parking: Ample parking. I've never had a problem parking here.“
“Mahi sandwich was awesome. We were there for happy hour. 2 for 1 Margaritas on the rocks, wine was 2 for $8. Wife got crab cakes. She said they were so so. My friends got the happy hour special wings and clams. His wife got the Grouper dinner and loved it. They were really busy but we got a table right away and our server Wendy was spectacular!!“
“The Blend is a casual breakfast & lunch dining venue in the Shell Point retirement community. A nice menu and friendly prices. Dine in or out on the covered patio to enjoy the lake view. When your order is ready they call out your name...so a bit like Cheers, everyone knows your name.“
“Our 20 person group had lunch in their small banquet room. Service is always great and the lunch menu has a nice variety for selection. Desserts were also great. Prices and quality highly competitive. Other than a "dry campus", very enjoyable.“
“All the waiters and waitresses are so attentive. The roast beef is excellent and I love the food and the drinks are awesome. I always try to write a good review when the bill is brought to me. The greeters are also very friendly and always try to seat me at my favorite tables.“
“This was a great surprise. We didn’t realize it was a senior community but open to the public. My husband wanted breakfast and I wanted a good burger. We were both pleased as our food was cooked to perfection. We were warmly greeted and the place was spotless. Everyone was so nice and friendly as it was obvious we weren’t old enough to live there. They offer a great variety of options including ice cream.“
“Delightful!Mostly retierees and young families today yet still had that Marina Bar vibe... Sports on the TVs, folks chatting about travel, weather and sports. I came for the grouper and was not dissapointed. Fresh and delishous!Highly recommend. Want to try their Yucatan Shrimp next time.“
