The 50 best pancakes in the Southwest Gulf Coast

Ate at Artisan Eatery in Fort Myers, Florida, and it was an excellent experience. I ordered their famous truffle eggs Benedict, and it truly lived up to the hype. Instead of using a traditional English muffin, they serve it on a croissant, which adds a buttery richness and makes the dish stand out. The only difference I noticed was the shape, but the flavor and texture were incredible. The dish was very well balanced, with the truffle elevating the eggs Benedict without being overpowering. The potatoes were crisp and flavorful, a perfect side to round out the plate. I also had their coffee, which was smooth and delicious, pairing well with the meal. This place knows how to take a classic and make it unique. If you are in Fort Myers and want a breakfast or brunch that feels both creative and satisfying, I would highly recommend Artisan Eatery.

We stopped here on a whim on the way to the airport and were blown away. We ordered the hot biscuit donuts, truffle fries, burger, and eggs benedict, and everything came out quickly, piping hot, and absolutely delicious. They even use beef tallow in their deep fryer, which makes everything extra flavorful. Each dish was cooked perfectly, but the standout for me was the hot donuts - easily the freshest and best donuts I've ever had in my life.

Such a great spot with fresh, healthy, and tasty food. The service is excellent, and the staff are genuinely friendly. I’ve been here twice, and every time the food has been consistently delicious. The interior is simple and cozy.

Chris was very friendly with excellent customer service. The donuts were hot and fresh, delectable. We also had the eggs Benedict and farmers breakfast. The portions were large enough where we required to go boxes. The white chocolate raspberry mocha and peanut butter chocolate lattes were balanced well. Will definitely be back. Fresh flowers on each table were a lovely touch.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Everything from the service to the food was absolutely impeccable. The women working the front was so helpful and made one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The guy running the food genuinely cares about his customers. The cooks did fabulous. There’s also spare diapers in the women’s room in case of emergency. So incredibly thoughtful. I cannot recommend this place enough. Bring your family friends and kids. this place is for everyone. This place just got new regulars

Absolutely out of this world! Huge lover of Eggs Benedict, I've had it lots of places. This was the best ever. Come check out this little gem! (delicious and fresh avocado toast too 😋)

Had a wonderful brunch today. Chris and Yani made our visit very enjoyable! The shrimp and grits were so great I would drive the 35 minutes from Naples any time I was craving them!

Blueberry’s Restaurant. US 41, Naples. Have driven by many times always seems to have patrons. Pleasantly surprised. Varied menu. Large dining area. Seems like a mix of tourists and locals. Severs are very friendly. Convenient location. Breakfast staples.

The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was fresh and full of flavor. Our server, Kerry, was fabulous—attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience even better. Highly recommend Blueberry Restaurant for a wonderful meal and top-notch service!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give this place 6 stars, I would—because my taste buds are still sending me thank-you notes. I took my family to Blueberry’s Restaurant for breakfast, and let me tell you, it was the kind of meal that makes you question why you even own a kitchen. We ordered a small parade of plates: avocado toast (because apparently someone in the family is healthy), eggs and bacon with French toast (because balance), and the cinnamon banana French toast (because YOLO). ✅ The avocado toast was so fresh and perfectly seasoned it made me feel like I could run a marathon…or at least confidently walk to the car after breakfast. ✅ The eggs and bacon were classic, crispy perfection…like breakfast’s version of a reliable best friend. ✅ And the cinnamon banana French toast? That was the Beyoncé of the table. Sweet, a little extra, and impossible not to love. The portions were generous (translation: bring stretchy pants), the staff was friendly, and service was faster than my kids can inhale pancakes. The vibe is cozy diner-meets-local-favorite, with a menu so big you might need a roadmap. Bottom line: if you’re in Naples and don’t eat here, you’re basically committing a breakfast crime. Blueberry’s isn’t just a restaurant…it’s an experience, and a delicious one at that. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back (probably tomorrow, don’t judge).

#Blueberry'sRestaurant is a nice place. Kind of in between that interstate exit stop shop/restaurant and maybe the hopping "I". Huge menu plus specials to choose from. I tried something different, country fried steak with red potatoes and toast with eggs. My son, never passes on a burrito- the special and my hubby ordered the skillet. All came just as we ordered. I was hoping the plates came with a little blueberry surprise of some sort just based on the restaurant name. But that's just me and my unrealistic expectations, nothing on them, lol.

Loved the food and atmosphere, the serve was fine but it’s a diner I don’t expect top level service.

We went to Naples for Memorial Day weekend and stopped in this nice breakfast/lunch place right on Tamiami Trail. The food was very good!

What a great place to enjoy breakfast or lunch. There is ample room inside, plus numerous tables outside are available. Our 4 breakfasts were extraordinary. Our server, Andrea, was on the top of her game. As busy as it was, she kept our coffee cups full and stopped by regularly to ensure we were enjoying our meals. Everything was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back for more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food and coffee is good at a reasonable price. The service is great. The place is inside of an Inn that is on the water. Pretty cool environment. You can get your food made in to go containers and eat outside by the water if you want. We ate inside and went walking out back by the water afterwards. They have gardens and seating by the water. It would probably be pretty cool to stay at the Inn too. I would recommend the pancakes and coffee.

Cozy little spot inside the Cove hotel. 🏨 You can choose your table seating, the server was attentive, and our breakfast arrived as ordered. Fresh-made to order pancakes, which were all you can eat today! I added a fried egg 🥚, a real egg 😄, and a side of bacon 🥓! Very 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Hubby had corned beef hash; needless to say, he had NOTHING left on his plate! We will return 🔙 when revisiting the area! Great value great price— also it's a cash 💵only location!

Was recommended to us by a local, my friends said it was the best breakfast they’ve had in a long time but I thought it was okay. $20 for two pancakes, coffee, small apple juice and side of bacon felt like a lot considering the laid back atmosphere. The staff and cooks were incredible though

This is a great hidden gem. We’ve been going for years and it continues to be delicious. Diner menu, relatively simple, it’s just delicious. Pancakes and omelets are very good. It is cash or check only but there’s an ATM on site.

*This is a cash or check-only restaurant* My husband and I visited on a busy Sunday afternoon for a late breakfast. There were no seats available when we arrived there, and the tiny café was packed, so we decided to get takeout. *Mobility note: there are automatic doors to the hotel, but there is a narrow 3-step up entrance to the café, which can get even narrower as there is room for only 1 person or 2 slimmer people. The doorway entrance is even smaller than the steps. The waitstaff that greeted us was friendly and gave us menus to browse in the lobby. Yvan took our orders at the counter - I ordered the #4 sailor's special, and my husband ordered the #5 deckhand delight with a large orange juice and large Coke no ice. We both had a side of hashbrowns added to our orders. We waited in the hotel lobby, and the food was ready in about 20 minutes. Order was 100% correct. Total was $40 with generous tip, which I expected since this was a hotel café. We ate our breakfast outside since the rain stopped, and there was a nice outdoor patio area outside of the hotel, overlooking the marina, with umbrellas and chairs. The order: The eggs were over easy and PERFECT. The hashbrowns were great! 👍 The toast was unexpectedly cooked in butter (sort of similar to soggy french toast), which we didn't order with the butter, but I was ok with that since it was still good. My husband didn't like it since he's not fond of butter, so if we return here, we'll be sure to ask for non-buttered plain toast. The large orange juice size was only half the size of a large fountain drink, so that was a bit underwhelming, but at least it was cold and fresh. Overall, clean and good quality food. However, we'd most likely go elsewhere in the area if we wanted to spend $40 on American breakfast.

Great place. Excellent service. Recommended even with kids. They provide colour crayolas, mickey mouse custom pancakes, and always willing to serve.

This is a small, somewhat out-of-the-way place. It takes a little searching to find but it’s worth the search. Only serving breakfast but the crew there is great and the food comes out hot and fast. I would definitely try to find this place and make sure you’re hungry when you get there I’m gonna post a few pictures and the servings are large.

Our family had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Fish Tale Grill. Our server Kristi was attentive and made sure everything was well. The spicy lobster spring rolls and coconut shrimp were delicious! The chopped salad was also fresh and really good. Our favorite entree was the seafood alfredo and the featured crab stuffed seabass. The ambience was current and loved the live music they had in the outdoor seating area. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting some delicious seafood!!!

Seafood is their specialty! Lots of fish options to choose from. Enjoyed drinks, Mussels, hot and cold lobster rolls, whole Lobster & key lime pie. Outside patio seating available. Live music on the patio, nice group playing but the volume was too loud, most people sat further from the music on the opposite patio. Overall nice meal and good service. Free parking across the street. It can be difficult to park in the evenings due to location and other businesses in the area.

We enjoyed 2 appetizers on Saturday afternoon and this place never disappoints in presentation or quality and taste of food. Great service, attentive and kind. The mussels were fresh and delicious and the bacon wrapped scallops were outstanding! Highly recommend!

It's totally amazing.I chose this based on seafood and ratings on Google Maps, and no disappointment. The cocktails are wonderful and reasonably priced. The menu is well rounded with plenty of surf and turf options. The oysters and lump crab appetizers were very fresh and flavorful. There are lots of options to start with before ordering your main meals. The dinner menu didn't disappoint us whatsoever. ever, there are so many wonderful options for seafood and mixed non seafood options along with platters that offer a mix with wonderful flavors and portions, and everything is seasoned well. I added more salt and pepper to my filet mignon, which was perfectly cooked. Dont miss out on this option for dining. The server did seem to be rushing us, but we did show up one hour before the dining room closed - otherwise, this establishment is top notch..

Had the most AMAZING meal for my birthday!!! King crab legs were fabulous and the limoncello cake incredible. Everything was fantastic. Thanks also to Brad the manager.

This is one of our regular stops. Great food, service n drinks. Lively outdoor dining patio and indoor dining room. Fresh seafood market as well. Weekend brunch is really fun with their live music entertainment.

I wanted to try something different! There was some music coming from the restraunt which attracted me to the restraunt. Live entertainment is a plus....I ordered the coconut shrimp with mango sauce....it was divine!

Looks like your classic, old person diner. Pictures of the rat pack on the wall, carpet, and a bar top that's actually a bar. Makes you wonder if they make good milk shakes. Anywayz, server was accommodating, ordered two items from the menu then changed them after I put in the order, she never flinched, thought that was awesome. Ordered the surf and turf also the Ruben. My only complaint, the food was cold. It took me 15 min to get to my room. The steak was perfectly cooked the lobster was not rubbery but the thing that was mind blowing..... the gravy on the mash! Never have I ever exclaimed about brown gravy. Packed of flavor, rich and not too salty. Again everything was good had to drop the star because of the temp. I'd recommend eating at the spot.

"Cozy spot with amazing food and friendly service (Aileen was our server) Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile. A true hidden gem!"

Big and diverse menu. Mamosa was refreshing and service was super. I had been meaning to eat at this diner for some time and today was finally the day. The vibe inside was nostalgic and cozy. It was super clean and everyone was friendly. I was impressed with the many offerings they have available for breakfast. I will definitely be stopping back.

Love a good diner! Stopped in tonight after passing this place so many times! The food was excellent and the staff was pleasant and engaging. I also can’t help but comment on the prices which are beyond fair especially for the quality and portions they are serving! I kept seeing amazing dishes leaving the service line so I will definitely be back to try more! I also looked at the breakfast menu and omg can’t way to try the lobster eggs benedict! So glad I stopped in, see you soon!

Decent food at good prices. Portions aren’t very big, but fair for what you pay. The veggies in the grouper Florentine didn’t look fresh and showed signs of being past their prime, so I skipped them. However, the spinach was fresh. Management should pay more attention to basic cleaning—our booth was dirty, with crumbs everywhere and torn upholstery that’s clearly long overdue for replacement. I probably won’t be back, but I can see why locals like it—the prices are hard to beat for this area.

Always friendly, good home cooking, amazing (bargain) prices and comfortable diner ambiance.

As I was waiting on my order, I heard the waitress. Tell the cook "she ordered to get well done, but don't do it that way". Thankfully, it wasn't my order, but it was a customer in the booth beside us who also heard the waitress tell the cook not to do as the customer requested. That customer got up and left after complaining to the manager. I love Mel's, but will never be going to this location again.

I love the vibes of this place, I enjoy coming in past 9 and still being able to enjoy the cozy diner lively feeling this place has. Everyone is absolutely amazing and courteous with their service, food is 100/10, music, art, and attentive staff is otherworldly. Thank you for keeping the night alive and fun all of these years 🤍

The portions were surprisingly large and the quality of food was top knock. The veggie lasagna was worth a trip to Florida. Seating was comfortable and the staff was kind and welcoming. THE ONION RINGS ARE HOMEMADE AND HUGE!

My family has been coming to Howley’s for over 10 years, unfortunately it is not what it used to be. Today, we came as a party of 5 and were seated at a half booth half regular chair table. The booth cushions were so old you sunk right into them. The other areas of the restaurant were too loud and my grandparents are hard of hearing so we dealt with it. We got fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. They were bland. Even the bbq remoulade didn’t add that much flavor. They were fried well though. For my main, I got the BLT plus avocado (for an extra $3). The picture shows how terrible of a sandwich this was. There was one tiny slice of avocado, and barely any tomato. They marketed this as being on texas toast, it was really just thick cut white bread that was completely dry. They couldve buttered the bread and grilled it. I’m not trying to be dramatic but easily the worst sandwich I’ve had. I took one bite and put it to the side. The one great thing Howley’s does is their onion rings, always crispy and perfect. My grandfather also loves the coconut cake. I’m disappointed that Howley’s will no longer be a stop when I visit Florida, but this experience left a lot to be desired.

I stopped by Howley’s and had a fantastic experience. I ordered the Bloody Mary—which was thick, spicy, and delicious—and it came garnished with pickled vegetables, adding a refreshing, tangy kick. Their turkey club was just as satisfying: hearty, fresh, and expertly stacked. The diner itself has retro charm with a cozy, no-frills vibe—think vintage countertops and a soda-fountain feel, but with a modern twist   . The staff was friendly and attentive, which only added to the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere . If you’re craving classic American comfort food, with creative cocktails, a warm ambiance, and the option for late-night dining. Howley’s hits the mark!

Food was ok but the service and atmosphere were not good. We were in town and love to try new things. The pancakes had to be cut with a knife and bacon was raw. The biscuits and gravy were just ok. We had to asked for things that we had ordered multiple times. Our waitress was nice but couldn’t remember the things we had ordered.

I ordered a shrimp-salad sandwich. It hit the table quickly—and that, sadly, was the high point of the meal. The sandwich reminded me of my ex-wife: cold, uninspiring, and utterly devoid of character. Let’s start with the fries. They were stale and cold. Come on—French fries? If you can’t nail those, you won’t redeem yourself with ... a seriously banal shrimp-salad sandwich. Said sandwich featured a few overcooked shrimp (seasoned with, apparently, nothing) and vaguely wilted lettuce, all stuffed onto a lifeless croissant. For those keeping score at home, I paid full freight for this disappointment. I’ve been coming here for years, but unless an “Under New Management” sign appears soon, I’m out. Avoid. Run away. Hell, if you’ve got a bum ankle, hobble off as fast as you can.

Fantastic!! Biscuits and gravy might be some of the best sausage gravy I’ve had. Really good. Grits were really good… could have been warmer. Coffee was delicious. Atmosphere awesome, staff was fantastic. Price was spot on!

A nice small family owned restaurant. When I say family owned, I'm mean their little kids work there. It's awesome. The food was delicious. Or waitress was friendly and attentive. The kids were super helpful. The mango pancakes were amazing. I've never had those before. My GF and I split 1 pancake and didn't finish it, it was that big. Plate-sized. The restrooms were clean. There was no wait. The only negative I'd mention, is the prices. Except for the specials, nothing is less than $16 on the menu. But, based on the pancake, which was a special, it's worth it.

This is a tiny place but full of character and the food was delicious. There was a wait to get in at about 10:30 on a Saturday morning, but I think the breakfast rush was winding down so it didn't take too long. The food took quite a while to arrive, but the service was very friendly and the coffee kept flowing. Nothing on the menu was less than $16 - making it slightly pricey, but everything felt homemade. The jams in particular were quite good and all homemade. Very good selection of tasty omelettes.

Was in the area. After seeing all of the pictures online we decided to pay a visit. There was a wait. I didn't realize how small the dining room was. We ordered mimosas. I ordered an omelet. My friend ordered Shrimp and Grits. Beautiful presentation. Will definitely return to try other delights

My wife and I were with two other couples vacationing in Cape Coral. Saw this place and decided to check it out as all the wives were wanting Mamosas. Crave did not disappoint! They were very good! The food was fantastic...seasoned well, cooked perfectly. Our waiter was great in explaining menu items and making sure we felt welcomed. All in all, a great place!!

Super yummy! My fiance and I cannot wait to come back and try more from the menu. Breakfast all day, salads, sandwiches, starters, and heartier entrees. Lots of vegan/vegetarian or carnivorous items to choose from. We would have loved to try the mimosas or drinks from the menu, but we had plans later that we couldn't be buzzed for. Fresh squeezed orange juice sounded amazing. We settled on a cold brew coffee, can of coke and a bottle of water. Nothing came from a gun or tap so that was interesting - I like it! The warmed goat cheese appetizer was perfect! It came with a toasted baguette and giant cracker with sauteed mushrooms on the side. Would 10/10 get it again - it would taste even better with some balsamic reduction. I'm obsessed with drizzling that on everything though, so that's probably just me. We both got omelettes with home fries and white toast. One was the triple cheese omelet and OMG it was soooooooo cheesy! The other omelet was the mushroom one which had three or four different kinds of mushrooms. The home fries were crispy and had peppers sauteed in with them - loaded with flavor! With the toast, we got homemade raspberry, grape and orange jellies. They were all so good but I think my favorite was raspberry. Service was friendly and prompt. With it being a smaller place, they only had like 10 tables in the whole restaurant but it never felt cramped or closed in. Overall just a really cozy and cool vibe. The chandeliers were over every table with a grand chandelier in the center of the room made from kitten utensils like spatulas and zesters. Super cool spot!

Great quality food, fairly pricey for breakfast but great taste and presentation. Atmosphere is cozy with enough space to enjoy yourself and carry conversation. Valerie? Hopefully she was having an off day, but her service and attention to details wasn't on par with quality service today. Sorry, you missed that my daughter ordered a pancake off the kids menu you gave her but charged for an adult? Then look at me like I told you to order her an adult pancake off the kids menu. You didn't seem pleased we were a large party who asked for separate checks right at the beginning of service. Otherwise a decent breakfast!

Crave is a hidden 💎. I visited with my boyfriend and enjoyed the environment and the assortment of meal choices. My boyfriend chose the Cinnamon roll French toast which looked mouth watering. He says it was delicious from the minute the waitress described it to us. I selected the Shrimp, crab meat, mush, omelette. While eating my omelette it was like having a meal I didn’t know I wanted. Each flavor was a perfect proportion. The potato’s were delicious and the bread was fresh. The waitress even brought us a few of their homemade spreads to try. (Which I had to ask to take my left overs home because it was too good to leave behind.) I would highly recommend visiting Crave for any morning delight. You will not regret it.

Great menu, beautiful scenery, and excellent service. Food is very reasonably priced and fresh. Get the Pineapple Express drink with the wellness booster! Ask for Jayne for your server 🥰

First Watch is my go to breakfast spot when visiting my family in Naples; they never disappoint!!! Diana was our server and she was the best! She is kind, patient, and has the best recommendations! When we walked in we saw an advertisement for their Shrimp and Grits🦐, the advertisement looks mouth watering 🤤. My husband and I both decided on that! I didn't get any photos because I was excited to eat, but check out the advertisement photo I attached. I hope it makes your mouth water too and you head over there for some deliciousness!! 🤤🦐🤤🦐

First watch is consistently wonderful! Great food, consistent atmosphere across the country. A strongly recommend indulging in the million dollar bacon. It's Delish!!

The food was delicious. The presentation was excellent as you can see by the photos. The floor manager wasn’t having a good day.

I’ve come every other Sunday. Food is always fresh and tastes excellent. I recommend this particular one for being clean and the service people always smile and are friendly.

We just enjoyed an incredible breakfast here at First Watch Restaurant in Naples Florida. Jenna was the best! She was very friendly and recommending the Shishito Brisket Has was certainly a winner. Family owned and they have their own farm to grow most of their food. My grandson loved the Honey Caramel Crunch drink. They have a very creative menu so make sure to dropp for breakfast or lunch.

Unique atmosphere, love the music, excellent wait person. Extremely kind, super responsive and quick to requests. I had the strawberry dulche leche french toast. Warm maple syrup. Great cup of coffee. We definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

Cozy place. Friendly associates. Coffee cups stayed full and they made sure to check in often. They've got tasty homemade syrups for your pancakes. The strawberry one is very tasty 😋

This is my first time here and I ordered the Corned Beef and Eggs with sour dough bread. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! Eggs and Corned beef were cooked perfectly. I will be coming again Update: I went again the following day! I got the something and it was tasty 😋 I took a picture this time

What a delight. Sat down ordered, came out pipping hot and perfect. Homemade strawberry jam was great! Thank You!!

Been going to Goldie’s for years! Free pancakes on Monday! And the home made strawberry jam is amazing! Never had a bad meal here!

Great breakfast place! Everything we ordered was so delicious and their homemade PB & Strawberry syrups are lovely!!

Great food, most prices were reasonable other than 6.99 for a side of bacon! Waitress was friendly and good.

Goldie’s is a phenomenal breakfast staple in Naples! Excellent food, friendly service.

The inside is really nice and the staff is friendly. I didn’t think the food was amazing but still pretty good. Great option is you want a drink or just to sit by relax and people watch

We had a wonderful early dinner at The Bevy. The food was delicious and our server, Anthony, was very kind and attentive. We tried their Happy Hour and ordered several entrees expecting small portions but we were shocked at how much food their was. We will definitely be back again.

5 stars isn’t enough for this amazing experience. Gorgeous setting, great vibe and attentive service. Love the open roof for partial outdoor seating. Make sure you get the bread because the olives that accompany it were excellent. Tender and light calamari was fantastic. The seafood pasta Alfredo with the rose sauce was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had - huge lobster tail, calamari and mussels were delicious. Some shrimp or scallops would have been a perfect addition. If it wasn’t a special - I would have gone back the next day to have it again. Amazing meal!

The Bevy is located just off 3rd street in Naples. The ambiance here is modern with a rustic touch in an indoor/outdoor environment. It wasn't very hot on my visit, but there were plenty of fans and the air circulation felt good. The focus here is on the drinks - specifically, the cocktails, which they are pretty upfront about on the menu: lots of cocktails and the motto is, "Eat + Sip + Socialize." The beer menu is a little weak for a place at this level, but again, the cocktails are the highlight here. The service was prompt and friendly, but there wasn't a lot of flexibility on the menu. The food came out as ordered and was prepared properly. Our visit was for brunch, so we ordered the Bevy Brunch Burger, which was great and so was the Smoked Salmon. This is a great destination if you are a tourist looking to have a few drinks and money is not a huge issue.

Perfect date night. Loved the drink selection and attention to detail. The branzino was absolutely the best I've had with the whole fish with the bone expertly taken out. Shrimps were huge and cooked beautifully. Burrata was interesting with the fig jam underneath. Ceviche was yummy, but I'd switch to the tuna tartar. I would definitely come back to try the desserts.

I visited this place several times. It was always good, but nothing special. However, today's visit was superior! I don't know what exactly the management changed in a year, but the service and food became truly impressive. The service was very fast. Our waiter Emerson was friendly, polite, knowledgeable about the menu. The dishes were all very well presented, tasted delicious, and came extremely fast. We didn't need to wait for anything. As soon as we finished one course, the table was cleaned right away, and the next course was on the way. Truly loved every single moment of today's dining experience! Thank you!

The (breakfast) food was absolutely amazing, but we were extremely disappointed about the complete lack of gluten free and non-dairy options despite what it says on the menu. Coffee and juice was tasty. Service was ok but nothing special. The restaurant is located smack in the middle of the very cute old part of Naples, and lots of street parking options.

Elizabeth was outstanding! We had great customer service from the moment we walked in the door. My waffle was to die for!! Fluffy, airy, light & tasted like it was from scratch! Will definitely be back!! Price was affordable, food was delicious and Elizabeth was a breath of fresh air!

Not even a single thing we ordered from the menu tasted good. Everything was disappointing — a total waste of time and money. On top of that, the staff was barely friendly. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place. The food that looks good but doesn’t taste good

I’ve been going to the OHPH all my life. It’s pretty hard to beat. The coffee is great, the food is always excellent and the selection is extensive. The waitstaff is also very accommodating always. This last time I didn’t however notice that the steak in the steak and eggs was anemic lol. I was surprised it was as small as it was. Hopefully this isn’t something that’s standard now because the prices are higher so less food would be a mistake to maintain their patrons.

Food was good waitress was on point and attentive. A nice non expensive breakfast alternative.

Can’t go wrong at the Original Pancake House! Every once in a while I get a big back craving for an apple pancake and I just have to scratch the itch. Thankfully this OPH is apparently a standard bearer for the chain and I was more than satisfied.

Food was excellent. Elizabeth is friendly, personable, and on top of everything. Everyone was friendly. Service was quick. Food came out timely, hot, and delicious. French toast was really good and the whipped cream was soooo yum. Bacon was perfect. Spinach crepe was a little small for me (I'm a big girl), but it was delicious. The home fries are like none I've ever tasted, so good. Overall was amazing and would come again.

We had such a wonderful breakfast experience at The Original Pancake House this morning, and it was all made extra special thanks to our amazing server, Elizabeth. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel truly welcome with her warm smile and genuinely caring attitude. Elizabeth is the kind of person who brings sunshine to your table—so sweet, attentive, and kind in every way. She checked on us just the right amount, made thoughtful suggestions, and ensured everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. You could tell she really cares about her guests. The food was absolutely lovely—fresh, delicious, and everything we hoped for in a comforting breakfast. But what stood out the most was the incredible service. Elizabeth truly made our visit feel more like a cozy family breakfast than a typical restaurant outing. Thank you, Elizabeth, for starting our day off on such a positive and heartwarming note! We'll definitely be back.

Joe's NY Diner is a solid spot for classic diner food with a New York twist. The menu has all the staples—delicious burgers, crispy fries, and hearty breakfast platters that hit the spot any time of day. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The atmosphere has that nostalgic diner feel, with comfy booths and a laid-back vibe. Service is friendly and efficient, though there were a few moments when it felt a bit slow during peak hours. Not bad for a 24-hour spot! Overall, it’s a great place for a casual meal, and I’d definitely come back. Just a little improvement in speed, and it would be a perfect five stars!

I desperately wanted this to be better then it was. The atmosphere is great- just that classic grunge, dark New York diner with led-lit signs and other city nostalgia all over. The food was a let down, plain and simple. We tried the meatloaf, and it just didn't taste like much. Hardly any flavor, and even some salt and pepper can't since that. We got a side of veggies that just seemed like they were warmed up from a frozen medley bag, also lacking flavor. We enjoyed the chicken noodle soup the most. That was pretty decent. They have ice cream that looked pretty good but didn't try it this time. Very disappointed with a place that screams potential.

JADE is FREAKING AWESOME! Such a sweetheart and hard worker! ❤️🩴😎❤️‍🔥💯‼️ She gave great service and I loved my nachos!! Thank you!!!

Wonderful first time experience at Joe’s New York Diner! A nice quaint spot! Our waitress, Miss Joelle was pleasant, speedy, food came out hot and cooked to perfection! The service & atmosphere were delightful. Will definitely be back!

Let me tell you about this place!!!OMGGG IS NOT EVEN CLOSE!! There is something for everyone here BUT WHEN I SAY I AM ABOUT TO EAT PASTRAMI AND CORNED BEEF ON SAME SANDWICH!! No UPCHARGE!!! Delicious DELICIOUS! The homemade Cream of Mushroom soup. Perfect flavor, consistency, and big bowl! Made an Arnold Palmer for me and all this for under $15! I had them split the order for me. Small but big flavor food. Breakfast served all day!!!

Lauren took great care of us, and we can be an unruly bunch . Great food, great service and a great sense of humor by Lauren! Everything was outstanding! Small place, so come early.

I won’t lie this review is all good just because of the service after having the food and noticing the environment I was very pleased, but when I walked in and saw my favorite waitress who had always treated me well. Jade was given me the best service on my hard and even best days. I hope she find herself in the best possible position.

Substantial portions. Excellent Chicken and waffles slight crisp but not over done. Crepes and coffee just ok, but scrambled egg whites on side were perfect not too wet or overdone. Free parking in front of shopping plaza. Staff super friendly and attentive. Will go again and try the salmon toast or Benedict next time. Great that they have healthy options as well as decadent ones. Chilly though bring a light sweater.

Amazing Brunch Spot! Went with my husband and kids — the place was beautiful, the food came out fast, and everything was super fresh. Our waitress, Maria, was kind and helpful. Now the cinnamon roll waffles… wow. I’m from Miami and have been to a lot of great restaurants, but this was hands down the best waffle I’ve ever had. The coffee was also excellent. Can’t wait to come back!

Had such a nice breakfast. The restaurant was decorated very nicely with lots of light coming in. It was busy, but luckily didn’t have to wait for a table at the time we went. The coffee and mimosa were good and the food was excellent! Service from Natalie was terrific as well. A little on the pricey side but well worth every penny. I’d definitely come back here and would recommend this place to my friends and family.

Stopped in on the last breakfast of our trip before vacation was over. We had some Omelets, pancakes, eggs Benedict, and a tuna meat. All were delicious and really hit the spot. We'd definitely recommend stopping in for a bite when in the area.

It was my first time at Naples Brunch with my husband and let me tell you… it was amazing! My husband and I are big on breakfast and our food was delicious 😋 Erica our waitress was top notch! Very good customer service, professional, and friendly! Would definitely come back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the perfect brunch spot in Naples, look no further. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of that vibrant Naples charm. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From the perfectly brewed coffee and refreshing mimosas to the creative brunch staples, everything tasted like it was crafted with care. You can really tell they put thought into their menu, balancing classic comfort with unique twists that make each bite memorable. What stood out most was the little touches—the quick service without feeling rushed, the cozy yet upscale vibe, and the way the team treated every guest like family. This place isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Naples, this is the kind of spot that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend for anyone who wants an unforgettable brunch!

GLUTEN FREE cinnamon roll french toast! I wish the menu made it clear they can do all their French toasts gluten free! I’ll be honest it looked so so when it arrived. But holy cow it was AMAZING! It tasted like a cinnamon roll and was better than any gf cook rolls I’ve had. I also got a skillet and it was excellent. Just did one piece of the cinnamon French toast on the side. To the management, please make a gf menu and post it online as you will get a lot of people coming. If I hadn’t seen a review of someone else mentioning it, I would have never known!

It's a shame to see this place go down hill. The building is starting to fall apart with a lack of maintenance. It starts with the dead plants in cracked pots outside, the badly water damaged entrance doors, faded awnings, etc. but once you go inside there seems to be more problems: bad water damage in ceilings and windows around the circular lounge area. Bathroom faucets were flowing slowly with no way to turn them off. Seems like someone is dropping the ball and its unfortunate because this used to be my go to spot.

My breakfast here this morning was not worth the twenty dollars I spent unfortunately. We got two of the bagel breakfast sandwiches, an espresso and a cappuccino. The espresso tasted like nothing at first and then took on a sour taste. My cappuccino lacked any body and honestly tasted like the coffee you get from one of those free coffee machines you can find at a car dealership. The bagels did not taste fresh, maybe a little stale. And finally the egg patties were much smaller than the bagel they were in and reminded me of something I would find at a fast food restaurant. The side of fruit was nice and refreshing, but that was the only plus I could honestly find about my meal. You may be better off just going to Panera Bread around the corner.

After many times of having WONDERFUL meals at Calistoga Bakery Cafe we had our first disappointment on the Breakfast Pressata Sandwich. There was really no flavor. It lacked seasoning or that special "zip" you should get from an AM sandwich. The cheese was flat in taste and there was way to much of an egg presence. A true disappointment!

My preferred venue for meeting clients from the Fort Myers area. Not too busy during the day, very comfortable and clean - and the food, although very simple, is great!

Simple yet elegant, tasteful, and tasty! Many choice of soups, salads, & sandwiches.

pretty mediocre omlettes. kids Mac and cheese was absolutely vile though.

Friendly staff, good food, cozy atmosphere. Ill be back.

Came for dinner and had never been to this location before. We were promptly greeted by our server and he immediately brought bread which was awesome, especially with a toddler. It’s also just a nice touch to receive bread at a restaurant because it seems to happen less and less. Our food was pretty good. I had the turkey dinner and the turkey wasn’t my favorite but the sides of mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing and corn were good. It came with choice of soup or salad which made for a generous meal. The kids cheeseburger was decent and my husband enjoyed his cheeseburger. Overall a good experience and service all around was great.

The amazing dinner experience you all need if you never stepped foot in one this is your chance Food: Exactly as expected, delicious with a hint of love We ate the mediterranean omelette with a side of bacon sourdough toast. My husband had the pot roast skillet with their milkshake to which he said “This is why you come to a dinner” Atmosphere: Like any dinner you saw on the back to the future movies your kids will love it

This a great local chain. They have a huge menu. All-you-can-eat breaded cod for $13.99 is pretty incredible. All the food looked good. Very nice service. If I lived in the area, I'd eat here regularly. I like the nostalgic feel, the 50's music playing, and the prices.

Found this place while looking for a quick and easy dinner spot. My server Kat was great. She pointed me to the meal I wanted. She was attentive and had a great personality. The food was good. I had pot roast would totally recommend! It was a bit loud but no crying kids, so that was awesome!

Mel’s Diner is a true 50s gem! From the moment you walk in you feel like you’ve stepped back in time with jukebox tunes, cool retro décor and an atmosphere that makes you smile. The menu is huge with just about anything you can think of and the food never disappoints. The service is always top notch and every visit feels welcoming. I met the owner about six months ago and he was a genuinely nice guy. This is one of those places I will keep coming back to forever

Such a cute retro looking place. The food was well prepared, pruced, and fresh tasting. Our server Stacey, was such a doll!

We had a good experience. The burgers were very good and the fries and my grandma had the coleslaw the burger and she enjoyed it too and the server was very nice. It was a good local diner for a bonita Springs day visit.

Great lil restaurant that feels it's truly a local Everglades spot. Had the gator tacos and were good but ask for some hot sauce. The fries were excellent. Wife was very happy with the blackened fish basket.

Great little restaurant. A place to eat e.g. fried gator in good quality for a reasonable price. Friendly service and good beer (chance to get the famous Islamorada IPA)

This is a great small mom and pop family diner tucked away in the Everglades. Had the best fried oyster po' boy I've eaten in years. Too bad they serve New England clam chowder. Not that I don't like New England clam chowder, I love it. Its just that its not Florida. Definitely comming back and next time bringing friends.

Wow, delicious is an understatement 😋 we had the gator burger, the frog legs and the fish taco and everything tasted amazing. I've had Gator lots of time, It was seriously the best Gator I've had.

I really loved my experience at the restaurant. The staff was lovely, especially Lucy. We took some time to think about the food, and they were patient and cheerful. The food itself was simple but nice - you got what you asked for. If you're in everglades city - this cute place would be a good option.

Had lunch and breakfast twice and all the times the food was delish! The staff was friendly as well! Loved it there!

i want to start off by saying in no way am i ungrateful for my visit here, it wasn’t all that bad overall. however, i did specifically mention to my waitress that i didn’t consume any dairy products and i still got cheese sprinkled on my salad and a side of ranch with my fried mushrooms. i understand that at a place like this you don’t typically expect vegan options galore but its not the greatest experience getting the opposite of what you ask for especially when it comes to food restrictions. other than that everyone was relatively friendly and they made a dinner plate for me when it was still lunch time so totally would recommend to anyone passing through everglades city!

We had such a great dinner here! The staff was super friendly and the service was excellent from start to finish. They were so kind and accommodating with my child, which really made the evening stress-free and enjoyable. The place has a fun, welcoming vibe and the food was absolutely delicious. It’s not always easy to find a spot that feels both family-friendly and lively, but this place nailed it. Definitely a new favorite, and we’ll be coming back!

Within walking distance of the hotel, I have gone there twice in the past week & I am sure I will go at least one more time this next week. There menu is huge! From there create your own breakfast, to bringing a friend to brunch, trying there outstanding appetizer along with there full course dinners, it's a lot to choose from. Plus they have a beer, wine, liquor & dessert menu too! Also the decor of the restaurant is vintage and classic. The atmosphere is quite with oldies playing in the background. The staff is attentive, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is well kept & clean.

Frequent this diner a lot for over 20 years. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all excellent. Bill the manager is friendly and on the ball. Ask for server Bre, she is the best! Food is always great and hot. Love the salmon and burgers. Great atmosphere and plenty of parking.

Outstanding! They have a broad menu with lots of brain food options. The service is incredible equally as scrumptious as the food. I’ve never had faster service with exceptional food quality. Below of outline some of the best brain foods that I found on the menu. On top of that, it was super affordable. This is the trifecta of good restaurants. It was healthy, affordable, and fast. It does not get any better than that. ✅ Best overall breakfast pick for brain health: Smoked Salmon Scramble — combines omega-3s, leafy greens, and protein. ✅ Best lighter pick: Lite Morning Treat with yogurt, berries, and granola. ✅ Best hearty pick: Quinoa Benedict — high in protein, fiber, and brain-boosting nutrients.

We had dinner for my father‘s 95th birthday. Mr. Bill and staff were fabulous at making dad feel special. The food was good and the service was fabulous.

We stopped at Mels diner for a quick lunch. We were greeted with a welcome to the family atmosphere. Employees are amazing and go out of their way to help you and make you feel like you’re dining in their home. We had 4 in our party and all ordered something different, each one was delicious. I was even able to have a newly created Greek salad which wasn’t on the menu yet which was fabulous!!!! Would recommend everyone head to Mel’s diner Fort Meyers to enjoy a delicious meal in a family friendly environment

I'm used to go to the one in Cape Coral. This one is a different experience, you feel like back in the 70th. I love their quinoa salad with salmon, would say the salmon is the best I ever had, no idea how they cook it so soft and juicy.

Good southern comfort hospitality. All the staff from the greeting to passing by waitresses everyone is very nice. Clearly a good local spot, everyone knew each other but welcomed newcomers, lots of food items to choose from. From salad selections to seafood, steak, and breakfast menu. The mozzarella sticks and fried pickles were pretty decent, I mean, just look at that pull there. They have a few 'Mels Diner' choices. Grace was an amazing waitress. Needed some local advice, the hostess was more than willing to give some tips. Came back to eat here 3 times within a week. Try the seasonal drink menu for only $ 5.99/6.99, delicious!

Mel’s Diner Cape Corral 3-4-25 Stopped by Mel’s on Monday around 12:30pm. This place was clean, neat, and busy. We got seated right away and Dee Dee was our waitress. I ordered the Western Black Angus Chopped Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Corn. My wife and our friend ordered the Mel’s Classic Cheeseburger with Cheese, Lettice, Tomato, Onions, Coleslaw, and Fries. Once our order came out my Chopped Steak was amazing. The Chopped Steak had Onions piled high on the top and lots of Gravy, it was so good. My wife and our friends Burger were done perfectly, and the Fries were just yummy even the Coleslaw was good. All our food was hot and plenty of it as we had to get a to go box to take some home. Once done we ordered two Milkshakes, one Chocolate and one Strawberry. They were very good if you like old fashion Milkshakes get yourself one for sure. I must give this Mel’s 5 out of 5 stars for the great service from Dee Dee, the good food and great Milkshakes. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews Gulf Coast Terry

A cozy restaurant, with a large menu. I had the double lobster, it was a great deal and delicious. My daughter loved the salmon! Big shout out to our waitress Tasha, who was just so very sweet, and gave excellent service 😊

You Can Never Go Wrong At Mel’s Not sure where to go for breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack, some dessert – go to Mel’s. We were out running errands on a late morning and went to an old favorite. My wife is an omelet fan and ordered a Western Style Omelet, rye toast and substituted fresh fruit instead of potatoes ($11.99). Not sure if these are two or three egg omelets, but they are big, loaded with green peppers, onion, ham and American cheese, and tastes great. The cup had a nice mix of cold crisp fruit and if you are a rye toast fan, it’s spot on. I ordered off the Lunch Specials Menu – the Ranch Hand Chicken Salad ($11.59). A bed of crisp lettuce with a little spinach, topped with chopped tomatoes, eggs, bacon, cucumbers and blue cheese crumbles along with sliced fried chicken breast. Ranch dressing is on the side. This was very much like a Cobb salad and I really enjoyed it. Two diners could easily share this dish. The servers are all very friendly and Mel’s never disappoints.

Wow, excellent food and service. Destinee was our server and she was very attentive. Food was hot and delicious and very reasonable priced for the quality. Manager Shane stopped by the table to check on us. He and Destinee were so friendly. We were super impressed with our dinner experience tonight.

Our waitress, Patty was friendly. She checked on us frequently and kept our drinks filled. The food was delicious and warm. This is always a favorite place to go when we are in town.

Absolutely phenomenal breakfast at Mel’s in Cape Coral! I had an omelette with hash browns and a side of biscuits and gravy — everything was hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The omelette was fluffy and perfectly cooked, the hash browns crispy, and the biscuits and gravy tasted homemade. Service was outstanding — friendly, fast, and genuinely caring. It’s been a long time since I’ve had food and service this good. Mel’s is hands-down the best spot in town for breakfast! 10/10 this is my new breakfast place when im in town.

*World Traveler Review Incredibly Fresh, Warm & Friendly, Great Selection, Generational Businesses! We were told by a local (Kara) that Burgundy was the ‘IT Place’ for local lobster and seafood… she was right! Plenty of seating both inside and outside in a covered foyer. Also has a simple bar with comfortable stools. NOTE: Wednesdays are unique and special for their many lobster dishes… all priced under $22 (as of date of this posting) Generational business w/ fond remembrance of the deceased Owner. Truly moving tribute mural is on the restaurant wall. Def recommend for wonderful food, selection, and unique experience!

First time there and definitely not last!!! The lobster roll is fabulous as is the clam chowder. Sadly I don't remember our server's name but she was a sweetheart..

Nice casual restaurant. Food was ok. Service was good. I had the salmon dinner. I would have liked to have steamed rice and broccoli with it but you only get 1 side. The rice had corn in it. ? Caesar salad had shaved Parmesan which I really like. Had a warm lobster roll and French fries which was good. Got a tossed salad which we liked. Restaurant was quiet. We ate at 7 pm. They close at 8 pm.

It’s is the # 1 Lobster Roll for sure!!! Excellent!!! I would definitely recommend Burgundy Square Cafe to anyone!! Food drink and service is always great!! Oh yeah get the Bloody Mary it’s top notch as well!!!

Fantastic Local Spot! 🥪🍳🍰 Burgundy Square Cafe is one of those places that feels like home the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with both indoor and outdoor seating that’s perfect for enjoying the Venice charm. The menu has something for everyone — from hearty breakfast favorites to fresh seafood, salads, and sandwiches. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious and made with quality ingredients. Their desserts are also a must… save room for pie or cake! The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly cares about making sure you have a great experience. Whether you’re there for a casual brunch, a quick bite, or a leisurely lunch with friends, Burgundy Square Cafe never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Had the Clam / Scallop Combo. It came with Lobster Bisque and french fries. Lobster Bisque tasted like it was out of a bag. 1-10. Maybe a 5. Scallops , 4 Sea Scallops , but 2 were cut in half inside the batter. Whole Belly Clams were tiny, almost strips but TINY PORTION. Homemade Fries were good. I know seafood is expensive, but total rip off for 30 bucks! On a better note, have been for breakfast, and breakfast was great .

Always yummy!!! I almost always get the Asian Shrimp Wrap for lunch. SOOOOOO yummy!!! This place is priced like most places downtown these days. Golly I feel old saying that. But, it's true. 😂 Plan on $15+ for lunch plus beverage unless you're okay with water. 🩵 Anything seafood is priced $20-$35 per person. I usually don't go here if my kids are with me, it's a pretty quiet environment and my young children would stand out way too much not being able to be quiet 🤐 all that well.

After visiting this breakfast restaurant, we were not as satisfied as other places on the island. The breakfast lacked flavor and was not real good. The eggs and potatoes were dry and seemed like they had been sitting up for a while. I did eat some of it but could not finish. My wife had the cheese grits and the cheese was just placed on top of the grits and not mixed in. That's the big lump of cheese on the plate next to the bacon that the wife had to just scoop off the top, it was too much. I am not confident we will be visiting Hoot's again.

Love it! Excelent place to breakfast. We will come back for sure

The service and food was great! I got a feta and cheese omelette and my husband got a combo meal with eggs, sausage, & pancakes. We sat @ the counter but it was hot because you could feel the heat coming out of the kitchen. I wouldn't recommend it there. I will get a table next time inside or out. We enjoyed ourselves and we will be back again!

Food came out before we could blink our eyes absolutely amazing food amazing service great people! Highly recommended!

Incredibly disappointed. This was the “Buffalo chicken sandwich” I was given. A disaster. Not at all anything close to the picture that is advertised on their website. Friendly staff though.

Prices have gone up. Got charged $15 for a single waffle (no extra hash browns or meats)...just a small waffle. Glass of chocolate milk was $4.50. Bill was $75.00 for 4 of us to eat breakfast. Food was ok though.

Found this local diner during our weekend getaway in Marco Island. Great home cooked breakfast with plenty of options. Freshly baked breads on-site. Must try their biscuits! Service was excellent despite it being a busy holiday weekend. Thanks Hoots!

First visit to Dutch Valley and it was pretty good. We ordered a Patty Melt with fries ($12.99), Country Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes and gravy ($14.75), Lemon Pepper Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and dressing ($16.99), and a Cuban Sandwich with fries ($13.49). Both the Country Fried Steak and Leominster pepper chicken came with dessert of rice pudding. The Patty Melt was thick and served on a beautiful Swirled toast. The fries were crisp and just right. The Country Fried Steak was served with two pieces of thinner but tasty steak. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good. The Lemon Pepper Chicken was a half chicken and it was tasty. The dressing was a bit too mushy but tasted fine. Cuban sandwich was delicious. We also had a cup of chili and a cup of cream of broccoli soup. The chili was tasty like Mom used to make. The cream of broccoli had a super light taste and could have used some Mrs. Dash. Rice Pudding is generally not my favorite but this one was tasty and I’m glad I ordered it. Our server was Donna and she did a good job. The dining room is fairly large with tables booths and some seating at the counter. Dining is all indoors and the dining room was decorated for Christmas. If you are in the area, this is a tasty place to stop.

If you want a blast from the past this restaurant is for you. The decor and atmosphere are definitely a relic from days gone by. That being said I kind of liked the look of the inside since I am, as they say, nostalgic. We ordered breakfast with my wife having a waffle along with bacon and an english muffin. The only real negative was the server, who was not very attentive and disappeared for a while. This made it hard to let him know that the bacon my wife ordered crisp had come up quite the opposite of that. When he did finally appear he took the bacon back to the kitchen, but the returned plate still did not have bacon that was any definition of crispy. My ham and cheese omelet and home fries, though, were very good. There are many restaurants known for their breakfast and Dutch Valley is one of them. Unfortunately, we have found others such as Millie's, Max's Table, and even Der Dutchman, to be better and, as such, will probably not be back to this one.

Tried Dutch Valley for brunch. Had great service. The breakfast was pretty good. Mixed review on the open faced sandwich. They have a giant menu so there are likely some winners in there for most patrons.

Guys, listen to me when I say: this place deserves more customers. Our server Tracey was the sweetest in the world. Her recommendations and menu advice were invaluable and her conversation was so kind-hearted. She led us towards the Saturday Turkey (basically Thanksgiving) dinner and there couldn’t have been a more perfect choice, it was so good!!! Even the other server Garrett sat with his only table and spoke with them for our entire meal, then helped them load up in their car! Talk about 5-star service!! I work in restaurants and thrive to provide the service they do. If you want great home-cooked food at a great price with healthy portions, this is your place. If you want exceptional service that makes you feel like family, you NEED to experience this restaurant. Thank you so much Tracy for basically welcoming us into your home here, you’ve made us regulars in only one visit. And Garrett, we didn’t really meet you, but we can tell you’re a great guy. You were so sweet to that couple that (not to be sappy lol) I’ll remember it for a long time and try to meet your standards of serving. This restaurant deserves more customers!!!

Places a bit run down. The menu for me is a little too big. I guess they're trying to hit everybody's taste buds when they should just focus on some of the Staples there a little bit better. I asked for Sunny side up eggs and they came out almost hard. $6 for an added egg is a bit much too

We have been to Dutch valley several times, after work place, Christmas morning place, Sunday brunch, and today was to just grab a bite. We met with a friend which was a surprise and had the delicious sangrias and a few entrees. Our server was absolutely amazing. I’m sorry I don’t recall his name. We were laughing and having a wonderful time at this establishment, I guess we might’ve been a lil too loud or just were too happy for some peoples liking. We were told we couldn’t have anymore sangria 🤣. I guess the good vibes were too much for the manager who looked absolutely miserable. Too bad, me and my large family truly enjoy Dutch valley but I’m sure it will be awhile before we come back. Please go and enjoy the wonderful food but please keep your happiness and laughter to a minimum.

It was our first time at Dutch Valley and while it gave classic diner vibes, the food itself was not on par with the atmosphere you would expect. The breakfast was basic and underwhelming. For $17 a waffle, 3 eggs and 3 tiny strips of bacon was not worth the price, neither the double valley breakfast of 2 pancakes, 2 eggs and 2 pieces of sausage. Almost $4 for coffee per person as well. Definitely an overpriced place.

Great little Diner, went here with my wife,cousin, and his girlfriend for a breakfast before we caught our flight home. Love it,it was delicious and filling so I wouldn't be hungry on the plane. I well definitely eat her again when I am back in the area. I recommend you stop in and try it yourself,you won't be disappointed.

This is the only place I go to for breakfast when we come to Naples. The staff are very nice and they always make sure my order is right. The food is phenom. This is the only place I have actually eaten all of my food. Good breakfast is hard to find in Naples and I found this hidden gem.

It's exactly what the name says...a Diner...and a great one as always!!! Every time I go, I walk out saying "That was yummy", no matter what I ordered. They've been there for YEARS, and it shows with great quality and quick freshly made meals. Keep doing what you're doing!

Delicious and affordable breakfast options. Eggs Benedict were perfect, as well as the peach pancakes. They had a big variety of other breakfast sandwiches and classics. Coffee was also great and all our food came really fast.

I do not know how this place is 2 $$ ! The food is reasonable even with the inflation surcharge. The portions are big and the taste and quality of the food is amazing. The cappucino is one of the best in Naples which is more than surprising

We love Joe's, especially for breakfast. Ashley is great!!! The whole staff is great! Can't wait to see the Italian dinners!!!

Excellent food and the service is warm and welcoming. Thank you, Victoria, for the sweet and thoughtful service! Definitely looking forward to our next tasty experience, yum!

Absolutely love this place! First Watch never disappoints. The service is always top-notch—friendly, fast, and super attentive. The location is also a total vibe—bright, clean, and in a great spot. Whether you’re grabbing brunch with friends or just stopping in for a quick bite, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommend!

Great First Watch location! Our server Audrey was friendly and attentive. Our meals were so flavorful and fresh. Restaurant is clean and staff members are quick to greet you!

Got breakfast here on a weekday morning. All the breakfast food was good, but the breakfast potatoes were a little too salty for my taste. The service was friendly and the restaurant has a good atmosphere, not too loud.

Found this place on Google. We’re not from around here so it was our first time visiting. Very cute breakfast place. Loved the look of it. The food was even better than expected. I’d definitely recommend. Would love to come back !

I am not sure what else I can say about the Trifecta… I could have kicked the plate. Yes, I was hungry; but the truth is, the eggs were scrambled perfectly, the waffle was crisp, the bacon… 🥓. Well, it was great. The dish comes with a berry compote. What a fantastic combination and great start to the day. I come here regularly because they are consistent with food quality and cleanliness.

out of state visitor but i make it a point to come here every time i visit; they NEVER disappoint. very budget friendly and worth the price. great portions, great flavor, and fresh food. also their iced coffee is such a hit!

This is a beautifully placed First watch in the Sarasota downtown area, surrounded by beautiful nature, buildings and places of interest. We got together to celebrate my baby's 40th b'day. The food was delicious, our server Elyse was outstanding. She was willing to please and accommodate some difficult request from some members of our party. She did all the changes requested, with a smile and great attitude. Kudos to the kitchen staff as well. They did an amazing job at pleasing everyone. I highly recommend this place.

Great place to have something fast and Yummy with great price and exelente view... Don't forget to walk the 5th Ave lost of Art Shops and great for a nice day in Naples

Out of town and came to 5th ave to shop and needed something quick to eat. We stumbled upon this place and it was perfect for lunch! It was great quality and quickly served with a friendly staff. The California panini was very good and would go again! The outside patio was perfect to take in the Naples atmosphere and enjoy a quick lunch

If you are looking for great atmosphere, a locals hangout, family owned and operated business, delicious food and reasonable prices, this is your restaurant. The scrambled egg sandwich on a croisant is my favorite and you can order this all day long. My hat goes off to the chefs👌 delicious!! Combine this with a latte or iced coffee and then grab a seat outside or inside if you can find one. This place is always crowded. l Dog friendly and people friendly. I am a frequent visitor and the people that work here have been with this family for years, It is always a good sign. Don't forget to leave a good tip and say "thank you". These are hard working people

The staff was very rude. We were coming in to order and sat down as we just went on a walk and it was so hot out. An older man came up after not 3 minutes and asked us to order at the counter. He was very condescending and pushy. It made us feel uncomfortable and there are many ‘friendlier’ places than this like The Cafe up the road. The food there is insane too! This older man that worked there chased us out and again started saying snarky comments as we left. Because why would we stay and pay for their food. It was such a failure of humanity and if this restaurant is this desperate for our service maybe they should consider doing other things.

Cute place to meet up with people. Seemed clean but a bit unorganized. Appreciate they have water on the counter to get yourself. We went later in the day in the off-season... I think they were closing soon. Reasonably priced. The staff was good. DON'T use the outdoor S&P on the tables... birds eat directly from it. Was odd to watch. 🐦

Decent/average breakfast. No complaints. Quick and easy. It's always nice walking along 5th in downtown Naples.

Location is good. Place was dirty. Coffee was bad 🤨

We had a great breakfast at the original word of mouth. The service was super friendly, our uber driver Tom recommended the spot and it did not disappoint. Had an old diner feel with the stools around the counter. My omelette was fantastic the gravy on top was definitely homemade and had lots of sausage chunks. The word fries are awesome as well love the crisp on them. My buddy said his burrito was very good and they were nice to put a bunch of toppings on the side for him. Our other friend had the French toast with fruit on top she said was very good as well. My wife had stuffed crepes and didn't enjoy them as much as the fruit was really hot inside just a personal thing. She said the kids French toast was tasty tho.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Even when super busy on Mother's Day, we were seated and served with a minimal wait. The food was great; I tried 3 dishes. My Reuben sandwich had very lean, soft cuts of meat. I also tried the veggie sandwich, which I will definitely order next time....really good. My son's pancakes were above par as well. Our server was quick and friendly. I recommend!

I’m not sure how anyone can give this place less than five stars!! Found it on a whim and so glad we went! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff are great! The whole place is great.. look close and you will find their hidden messages!! Would drive ten hours to eat here again!! Do not skip the gravy and biscuit..

Best breakfast burrito I’ve had in Sarasota and the potatoes are so good! Great service, sat at the bar and loved that it felt like an old time dinner. Would definitely recommend!

Just found this place hidden away in the Gulf Gate area . And what a find. Had huevos rancheros and it was amazing. I'll be coming back for sure .

Biscuits and gravy could be used to patch a hole in a cement wall. Gravy was way too thick, with a wall spackle consistency, while the biscuits were mealy and dry. Eggs were tasteless, gf got grits, which were also flavorless. No clue how this place has the reviews it does, must be a low bar for standards in this area… won’t be back.

Word of Mouth knows what they’re doing! We’ve been coming here for years and always come back time & time again. It doesn’t matter what you order it’s all good!

Always a great place to eat. The first time I ate there was the late 80’s. Family owned place. Held in an old style type house. Great baked pies. Old Florida feel.

This place was great. We will definitely be going back. Best of all we got to talk with Randy about the Swamp Buggy Races. Was a great day!

Food is great and service is fast. We had our drinks within 30 seconds of sitting down and food arrived on less than 4 minutes. It was $26 for 2 of us and the food better than most places. The bacon was crisp and not over cooked or burnt. The biscuit was the best I have ever had. Gravy is definitely homemake taste. I had the Randy's special.

Fun spot on Bonita Beach Rd. Can get busy, but they try very hard to get everyone accommodated. Once you get a seat you will definitely enjoy some very filling portions and delicious flavors. There seems to be care in the preparation of breakfast. The service is fast and cheerful and the prices are right where they should be. But again, you can't always price out a good experience.

Can I give 10 stars? Great food and service at reasonable prices. I new this place was special when we walked in. It was packed but the staff was just handling it like it was just another day. Walking to our seats, we saw a table with pies to go and another table with lots of other sweet treats. Though busy, our server arrived promptly and gave us good recommendations for what to eat. The specials included Pumpkin Waffle, New York Strip steak and Eggs Benedict. We ordered the Eggs Benedict and Randy's Special from the menu. Everything arrived quickly. The Eggs Benedict did not have a traditional hollandaise sauce. It was more of a cheesy sauce but it was still excellent. Similarly, the Biscuits and Gravy had a nice mild flavor I've never tasted before but I sure did like it. Randy's Special also came with bacon and 2 eggs which were cooked over-medium perfectly. On our way out, we were shown the new pies that were in the refrigerator. We had to buy the Coconut Cream Pie. Amazing! We'll be back as soon as we can.

It's such a fun place with Rich history and good food. I mainly go for the homemade pies. They are quite pricey but you get what you pay for! The last Pi I got there was chocolate peanut butter and it couldn't have been better. It's a really good treat for the family.

Above average breakfast joint. The biscuits and gravy was okay as the gravy to biscuits was gravy heavy. The home fries were good. The cup of coffee was very good. The service was very good. Very busy when I was here on a Sunday around 10am. Menu was small so I am assuming the quality will stay high. Might come back.

We love this restaurant!! Everything we have had so far has been great. On top of that the quality for the cost makes this a terrific value!! The waitstaff is so nice we feel like we are visiting friends. We can't wait to go back again!

Been in Punta Gorda for 5 years now as a snow bird. How the heck did no one tell us about this hidden gem! My wife and I were on the prowl for something different around lunch time and stopped in. Can’t wait to go back 40 more times! Food was amazing and ample! Service was great! The server stopped by a number of times. Sometimes just to tell us that she would be right back. Bill was very well priced especially for the amount of awesome food! As I said we will be back and will tell everyone we like to come to this place!

This was such an unexpected surprise!! We were visiting Punta Gorda and needed a quick bite to eat. We googled places to eat, and this one came up on our search and sounded amazing…. And it was! We loved the food, and our server was so sweet and attentive. We will definitely eat here again if we are ever in the area.

We enjoy diners and Elena's is a lovely diner nestled in Punta Gorda Florida. Martha was our server and she was wonderful. Our food came in a reasonable time and was perfect temperature. We had liver and onions, rueben sandwich with delicious crispy french fries, and chicken enchiladas. 5 stars for this delicious restaurant.

Nice cozy restaurant. My husband and I had the special of beef stroganoff. It was more like beef tips and noodles but tasted pretty good. Waitress was new and she did a great job checking on us.

We got right in it was busy, and everyone was friendly and attentive. We got our food fairly fast it was hot and tasted good. Will definitely go back.

Great locally run business with ample servings for reasonable prices. Daily specials include soup and dessert. Very busy but adequate, hardworking staff made for a short wait on our meal. The plate of open faced roast beef and mashed potatoes was huge and delicious! Will be going here more often since we’ve discovered this hidden gem!

Because this is a “chain” restaurant, there are quite a few locations here in Southwest Florida, which I find extremely convenient. As a busy Realtor on the go I appreciate their reliable and tasty menu options which is especially important when meeting with customers of my own. Everyone who works at First Watch is in a good mood for some reason, I have yet to run into a grumpy employee! Refreshing!

Had a great meal at First Watch! The quinoa bowl was packed with flavor and super fresh—light but still filling. Friendly service, coastal vibes, and healthy options made it a perfect stop. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Amazing amazing amazing!!!!! As always!!!! Food was unreal, service was lovely, restaurant was clean and cozy. Carrot cake pancakes are to die for!!!!!!! They also accommodated our no-cheese preference in the power wrap which was much appreciated. Can’t recommend enough. Always look forward to First Watch!

Bad morning made brighter with a visit to #FirstWatch for breakfast. Great cup of coffee and half mixed iced tea. No bitter taste to the tea, just fresh and caffeinated. I ordered the farmers' skillet, my son ordered the special burrito, my husband the classic eggs benedict. Nice presentation, lovely taste with all three orders. My husband's poached eggs were a little to done, but all in all, the food was great. The toast was wonderful, thick cut, nutty, and delicious with a thin smear of butter served with berry jam.

We love this location. The restaurant looks and feel clean and neat. The service is always great here. We had Sabrina the last 3 times we were here and she's amazing! She always has a smile on her face and is very friendly. Thank you Sabrina 😊

The service today was excellent! The host made sure that we were comfortable and several staff members stopped by our table

First Watch is a staple here in Fort Myers and Southwest Florida. The food is always spot on the staff is amazing and attentive. Plenty of cozy booths and larger tables for parties of 10 or more. They are constantly updating the menu with delicious specials. All of the waitstaff is spot on and Deborah, our server this morning, has been bringing it and slinging it with a smile for quite awhile.

It was decent . It was busy but my food came out cold. They did bring it back and warm it up. Grits were good Potato 🥔 Pancakes 🥞 were the best thing served .

What a gem of a place!! Friendly staff and scrumdiliumptious food made our afternoon meal delightful. We ordered the fish & chips (but chose rice instead of fries) and the tuna melt with fries. Everything was fresh and seasoned very well. We are definitely going back to try more!

Very friendly atmosphere & the food is homey & good. Large portions at very fair prices. We have been for Happy Hour ( good drink & food specials) as well as breakfast (lots of options). The chicken quesadilla was tasty & huge..& around $8 during Happy Hour.

Excellent place to go. We were in Naples for vacation and loved Patio Cafe. Breakfast was exceptional. The "virgin" Bloody Mary was delicious.

Stopped in for breakfast fuel before the Cinco de Mayo festivities were to commence. We tried mimosas, bloody Mary's, Omelets, chocolate chip pancakes, fruit, and sausage. All were delicious and hit the spot to start the long day ahead. Would definitely come back...the bloody Marys were a big hit at the table!

I was there 7/15 for the first time. What a wonderful place!!!! It was crowded, very busy, yet service was excellent. I had over easy eggs, hash browns & bacon. Everything was delicious. As a side note....the bathroom was very, very clean. I can't wait to return.

Cheese blintz is what I ordered and oh my, first bite had my eyes rolling into the back of my head. Divine is all I can say, just divine! Store was clean, prices reasonable.

Had a great time at Cracker Barrel! I had the half chicken with rice and green beans — it was absolutely delicious, though the chicken portion was just a bit on the small side. My beautiful girlfriend went all out with a feast fit for a queen — a loaded baked potato, mac and cheese, hashbrown casserole, and loaded mashed potatoes! Everything looked and tasted amazing, but her eyes were definitely bigger than her stomach. Great food, cozy vibes, and plenty of laughs — Cracker Barrel never misses! Jesse was a great waiter that was extremely knowledgeable of the menu!!!

Came in to try the improved biscuits- Yum! Great improvement, I was happy to taste a fresh properly made biscuit. Bravo! Thanks for listening to us. Still room to improve on some other items. Service was on-point, helpful and fast. Only downside- everyone at our table who ordered sausage or hash brown casserole received room-temperature 😕 Cracker Barrel- you gotta serve the food hot! No reason for sausage or hash brown casserole to be room temp. Bathroom was clean.

Cracker Barrel always delivers a great experience. The food is delicious, comforting, and full of flavor. Whether you are in the mood for breakfast or one of their classic Southern dishes, you really cannot go wrong. The service is excellent. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The gift shop is a treat all on its own. It is filled with fun and unique items from nostalgic candy to home decor to little surprises that are hard to resist. Cracker Barrel is the perfect stop for a relaxing meal and a little shopping afterward. It is cozy, friendly, and always leaves you full and happy.

First stop was the restroom and that had overflowing garbage cans and paper all over the floor. Very dirty Went in hungry for some good fried chicken and received subpar oven baked that wasn’t close to being crispy

Great service compares to other Cracker Barrel Restaurants. As always, food and ambiience are unique.

We came for breakfast on Sunday morning. The place is packed full but the service didn't skip a beat. We were seated right away and food came out promptly. It was fresh, hot, and delicious. I tried the new fall butter pecan latte with the fall pecan French toast. It is dangerous. I ate every bite. You will not be disappointed if you come here.

We haven't been to CB in 7 months because it was so mediocre last time. But we are in Naples on vacation and decided to give it a try again. There is no disappointment here except the logo is still messed up. But the food has redeemed them. The flavors were so great and exactly what I remember from the good old days (precovid). The service was so friendly. At least 4 employees greeted us and made sure we were satisfied. I think I might actually buy something from the store too!

I ate here for the first time and was pleased with my food. The reason for my overall lower score is that I went to wash my hands before I ate and there was no soap in the men's restroom. On the way out from the restroom I stopped and told the lady at the cash register that they were out of soap in the restroom. Just out of curiosity, when I left I went back into the restroom to see if the soap had been refilled. It had been half an hour later and it had not been filled. This did not give me the warming fuzzies about how seriously they take sanitation. Also, after I left and looked at the reviews I saw the information about cash only. I just happened to pay in cash but normally I use my debit card for about everything and don't keep much cash. I didn't see anything about it being cash only. I had also mentioned to the waitress that it was my first time there and she did not say anything about cash only. A heads up for a first-time customer would have been nice! That could have been very bad if I had not had the cash. This was a very busy place and I'm sure this review won't hurt that.

Just like you'd expect from a country small town dinner, and we loved it. Great food, fast service and really nice people. Enough space for about 80 people (indoors) But there are tables and space outside too. ⚠️Be ware⚠️ NO CREDIT CARD accepted, BUT you can use ZELLE or VENMO or CASH. They have a sign outside...You've been warned... Great coffee (and coffee cups), the homemade warm apple pie with vanilla icecream is awesome. I had a bacon cheese burger, with cheese fries with bacon. My wife had the turkey BLT. A lot of senior people go here, THIS IS KEY. Older folks only go to the best places. If I personally, don't see seniors at the places I want to visit, it is not a good spot. And this diner had 20 years open, and obviously has a loyal following. I recommend this place.👍🏼👍🏼

The food is getting better. Their tomato soup today was out of this world delicious! I hope it becomes a weekly special. Update 3/17 today is St Patrick's and they cooked the best corn beef & cabbage. They really outdid themselves this year.

I had the daily special. It was an open-faced pork sandwich with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Absolutely fabulous!. Drink my sweet tea down three or four times. It was only a matter of moments before he got refilled every time.. Only had one complaint and it was that their menus are a laminated piece of paper and mine was very sticky..

Always greeted by happy smiles. Table was available, seated promptly. Great service and great food.. Country fried steak and potatoes. Chopped Steak tender and juicy. Cabbage, Ham soup, that was excellent. Fresh delicious Salad. Home town feel. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Alva Country Diner 11-19-24 We stopped into the Alva diner on Wednesday around 12:30pm. This place is old school Florida, its very basic but clean and neat. They do not take credit cards so make sure you have cash. We got a seat immediately as they were not that busy. Our waitress Tara took our drink orders and came back fast for our food order. The menu looks small but is larger than what you think. I believe there is something for everyone in there including Broasted Chicken Dinners or pieces to go. I ordered the Open-faced Turkey with Mashed Potatoes, gravy, and coleslaw. My wife ordered the Scallops, Carrots, Mashed Potatoes and Salad. Our Friend ordered a Hamburger with Fries and Cole Slaw. Tara brough us some rolls and my wife’s salad to hold us over until our main food order came out. Our main food order came out fast and it looked great. My Open-Faced Turkey and Mashed filled my plate. It was very tasty, but I do wish it would have been a little hotter and my bread did not have much gravy on it under the Turkey. My wife’s Scallops were hot and very good as was everything else she had. Our friends Hamburger and fries filled his plate, and everything was hot and very good. This is a small diner with a large menu, large portions plus prices are not that bad. Make sure you visit this place you will not be sorry. I give this place 4 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews. Gulf Coast Terry

Clean spacious cool space with nice leather seating. Adorable waitress. Food is prepared the right way. Gravy and biscuits are delicious. Everything else was very good too. Loved this place for breakfast.

Well, worth it the service the food was excellent under new management. Highly recommended.

Food was great and the service even better. I had the liver and onions which I never order at restaurants mainly because it's never on the menu oŕ I don't trust the restaurant. It was great. My wife had the hot roast beef and it was fabulous. Ordered the homemade baklava to go. We will be back! I forgot to note Nicki was our great server!

New owner Roland Everything great now. Friendly staff and food was delicious. Will start frequently stopping in again. Wish the property manager would fix the outside sign! We never knew when open or not. Very good home made soups. Clean place .

Delicious food and many options to choose from. Nikki was our server and she was amazing. It's a cute little place for some real good food.

We stop often but haven’t submitted a review. Great selection, breakfast dishes are so good. Prices can’t be beat and their soups are delicious! Friendly service. They aim to please. Open all day and evening until 8!

Beautiful place with a family atmosphere and a warm professional attention from Megi, what I liked the most was having my brunch and trying the Texas hamburger. I don't give it 5 stars because it only has breakfast but if they had more offers like lunch and dinner they would have a 5 plus. But without a doubt, I would go back again just to experience their food which begins in October.

Lisa was the absolute best! I’ve been in the US for a year and this was the first experience where i gonna remember the server for life!! She was so sweet and client oriented! U will be taken care of with her, she made sure we got exactly what we wanted🙏🏻

Everything about this place makes me feel home and I hate going out in public! I have panic disorder and this is one of the few restaurants I can actually go to without feeling scared and having a panic attack so I thank you first watch. Sincerely I thank you guys. My server who has split hair color, which is blue and blonde. I’m not sure of her name, but she always makes me feel valued and appreciated. I really care for her. I hope she gets a raise for this because she deserves one. She is top notch of a server. She is more of a caregiver for people at a restaurant. She always makes sure you have what you need and she is on her feet constantly getting you what you need! I highly recommend this first watch, especially because of how clean family oriented, and nice the employees all are!

Very delicious, I went today for a brunch with my bridesmaids. Arturo the Manager took care of us thank you for everything, first time at first watch everything was delicious .

The wait is never long and the staff are always friendly. This is our favorite location in town even though it's not the closest. They have a great spot by a pond to look out at and even sit out on the patio. If you haven't been to a first watch they're a great option if you're looking for something a little less traditional or healthier with traditional options for those in the party who would prefer that route. They have a seasonal menu with decent options to keep you coming to try something new or stick to their great permanent menu.

Everything so awesome new hire Jimmy Dean excellent Peyton our server excellent. Good always excellent! Couldn’t b better! Great job re Management hiring the best 😀🙏

The food and staff was awesome. Everything tasted good. The menu variety was awesome.

Amazing breakfast! It was very delicious, and I really enjoyed it! The atmosphere was great and our server was great ! I would really recommend this place!

They have the most disgusting food. 10-15 years ago this location in north Naples on immokalee road was outstanding. The place has gone down hill drastically. They got my order wrong and the food tastes like garbage. The omelette was disgusting, they use those fake egg yellow egg beaters and it was completely runny inside. The served me sun-dried tomatoes inside the omelette instead of regular diced tomatoes that I asked for. I asked for advocado slices on top of my omelette, they have me one tiny slice of advocado. They also forgot my toast that came with the meal. This place reminds me of a retirement community or a hospital where they serve sick and elderly people bad quality food. I think the hospital food will be better that this first watch. The potatoes tastes like they were drenched in old cooking oil- so insanely disgusting. I would not eat their food for free.

Everything is very good! The only thing my eggs slightly cool but I will come back. They were pretty busy.

Absolutely amazing!! Dulce was a fantastic waitress!! I loved the lavender juice and the superfood bowl was amazing!! The avocado toast was also fantastic, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Could not recommend more!!

First time here far from last time softest waffles I have ever had an the chorizo omlet was amazing 10/10

Very pleasant staff. I was warmly greeted upon arrival, quickly seated, and my server was kind and knowledgeable. The food was great and different. Ask for Javier when you visit.

We were able to get seated right away, arriving just after breakfast rush to a packed restaurant. We sat outside and the waitress was very attentive. The food at anyway First Watch is always perfect. Highly recommend for Breakfast or Lunch.

I ordered a meal and clearly stated that I’m allergic to pork. When it arrived, I noticed there was pork in the sandwich and pointed it out. Instead of preparing a new one, they simply removed the pork and brought back the same sandwich. This is extremely careless and dangerous for someone with a food allergy. Allergies are not a preference,they’re a health risk. Very disappointing and concerning experience.

I was my first time at this café. It's a casual, pleasant restaurant. The food was good. My hamburger was delicious. The fish fry was also very good. Service was outstanding. They close at 1:30 pm and reopen at 4 pm.

We had a hit and miss experience at the Shamrock Cafe. Our service was great and we enjoyed our time. With our food, we had both good and bad. The meatloaf was average at best. The scallops and shrimp had a distinct taste that we were not fond of. We can see others lining it though. The prime rib was very good as were the salads and mashed potatoes. Overall, we spent about $120 for 4 adults and a child. With a bunch of other places to try, we probably won’t be back in a while but it is worth a try if you are in the area especially because the service was very good.

I treated my bride and my parents to Shamrock for lunch. It is appropriately named a cafe and is comfortable. Every staff person encountered was very friendly and polite. Seating for 6 at round tables or 4 at benches was available to us. We opted for a table and had copious amounts of space. I ordered a bowl of soup ($5) while my mother ordered a cup ($3). It seemed the two contained the same amount of soup as my bowl was little more than a miniature crock. The math does not favor the bowl so opt for the cup. The taste of the soup was good. Not great. I also ordered the chicken Oriental salad for $12 - $13. Unfortunately, it was served with 4 half slices of regular orange placed around the perimeter and NOT mandarin oranges as described in the menu. It changes the whole flavor and name of the salad. It was okay but not what I was expecting. The rest of the orders were fine with only one other complaint of too much onion in what I believe was a chicken or tuna sandwich possibly. Even with these hiccups, I would venture to try the dinner or breakfast menu and if it goes well, I will update my rating.

Great place! Excellent food with friendly staff and simple atmosphere with comfy booths and a bar with wine and beer . Guinness on tap !!! Yippeeee!! Love it . French chef with Irish beer -now that's says a lot!

Worst Meatloaf and mashed potatoes I have had in my life! My wife loved the fish fry along with the clam chowder. Waitress was nice but never came back to our table once after she gave us our food. I had to ask the bus boy for a refill on ice tea and a carryout container. Disappointing service for a small diner.

Wow! Terrible experience! Parking lot full, we thought must be good place. We never did eat here, never got chance to order. Waited 30 minutes standing at door inside, NO staff member, NO ONE acknowledged us, not even "be with you shortly", no eye contact, no nod, no wave, NOTHING! 2 waitresses 1 bus boy. NO one greeting or taking names, place was packed! Waitress finally acknowledged us and said "reservations?" "reservations?" "anyone reservations?" shook her head, went over to the other waitress said "can you take another seating" and she said "NO" way! WOW again! We asked to sit in empty booth, were told yes but will be quite a wait because 1 - 2 tables were ahead of us to order. We did wait at the table 15 more minutes NO one came by to ask if we wanted a beverage or to say how much longer our wait would be. Needless to say we left. BAD BAD BAD!! These 2 waitresses were literally running back & forth, table to table to kitchen to bar to table, all the while NEVER looking over our way or never looking at anyone else who was waiting to be seated. BAD BAD BAD!!! The owners were NOT prepared nor did they plan for a full house, which they should have been prepared, especially since it was GOOD Friday. Amen!

Average, went for lunch with friends, Sat in a booth. The bar has a TV blasting Fox news the whole time. Wanted an enjoyable lunch and should have just left but met friends, maybe I'm wrong but the owners playing channels with politics no matter what party's channel is a big turn off. You for sure lost 4 customers from ever returning.

Hmmm. Old diner building kinda run down, clean though. The hash browns were burnt tasting and not good, but everything else was great although greasy. Great service, fast! I would eat here again but Martis across the street is better sorry :) Also the biscuits & gravy MEH :/ not so good

Hours 7 am -2 pm. Breakfast and lunch served. Indoor seating and patio seating. Always a warm welcome, prompt service. Reasonable prices. Food served exactly as you ordered it. Next year we will be back!! Always love supporting locally owned businesses.

My wife and I went today for the first time. We both got omelettes. Vegetables were chopped finely, cheese was totally melted and the omelette was fluffy. Grits were great too. Service was awesome. Loved the vibe, caught up on the news, had great coffee, all this for a total of 30.00 for two people…. All in on this place.

Super classic dive diner with a local groove. I’m not sure the history of this place but I’m pretty confident it’s been around for a good spot of time. We sat outside which was nice and the menu is pretty standard breakfast food, which is perfectly alright. I got french toast with a blueberry drizzle, but they brought me fresh blueberries instead so our waitress made sure to get me the drizzle as well and I just got to have both, it was awesome. It wasn’t crazy good food but it was good and I’d for sure come back again. The coffee was actually decent too. Cute place!

Great breakfast food with very nice servers. It looked like an old dinner but was clean and nice. Had a fun atmosphere and overall a great place would come again.

Great staff and great food with reasonable prices! Gyro meat salad and eggs over corn beef hash were great!

My son and I were looking for an early lunch or a breakfast place. We came upon Marko’s Diner. A little place tons of cars in the parking lot. When we walked in, it was like walking into a party. Everyone was laughing, talking having conversation. A hostess came right to us. My son has this new thing when we go out to eat. He asked the waitress to bring him the best breakfast they have. I ordered 2 eggs and gyro meat and tomatoes. People were so friendly their. The booth next to us and across the isle were talking to us and joking. I kinda felt like i was home having Christmas breakfast. It had that homey charm. My breakfast was so good Gyro meat was shaved it was so thin it was delicious! My son loved his breakfast to it was so big he took half home..this place is not so close to my house. I have to say im coming back to Marko’s is worth the drive!

I dined at South Cape Diner for the first time today. I usually order something pretty basic at breakfast restaurants because I have dietary restrictions. The portions were large if you're into that. I thought the food was tasty and the atmosphere gave a definite diner feel in a good way.

South Cape Diner is a gem on Cape Coral Parkway! We had the pleasure of being served by Laura, who was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Felix, the owner, also came by to check in—super nice guy and clearly takes pride in running a top-notch place. The food? Phenomenal. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Even with the diner being busy, the service was quick and on point. Can’t wait to come back!

First time, and I was pleasantly surprised . The restaurant is bright with plenty of seats. We were seated immediately with a menu and a hot cup of coffee. The portions are huge. I ordered the lemon pancakes and eggs. The pancakes are large and fluffy, and the lemon cream on top and inside the second pancake was good. Our other order was the country scramble covered with gravy. Both dishes were good. The menu does have two different prices. One price for cash and the other price for credit. This is not negative. Everyone is doing it, and I appreciate finding out upfront. The only negative is that they should store their paper goods in the back and not on top of the refrigerator in the restaurant.

Well to start off, it's good enough that I'm a repeat customer. Staff has always been very friendly. Food is priced fairly. Have yet to order something that I didn't like. I think the only complaint that I could find are sometimes the wait staff take a while to get my check and to be honest I'm not too chuffed about it.

"I was able to get my food quickly during my visit. However, I found the overall quality of the dishes to be disappointing and the prices to be too high for the style of food. It is clear that the staff is working hard, and with some changes, this could be a great spot."

Just kinda amazed how bad it was. Came in for a quick lunch but I wasn't in a mood to "fix things" ether. The place looks so run down. Chairs were uncomfortable. My partner said their menu was too big for their small place, meaning everything is frozen. They are hiring and I hope they find them. I'll never know because I won't be returning. It's literally the only thing I remember hearing the waitresses say "...Come back...". Sorry, can't.

I was expecting a better food and service but unfortunately didn't happen. I ordered a veggie omelette and I got a bacon one, the home fries were over cooked and way too Grease. They went ahead and an correct my order but barely could eat it because there was not flavor, huge pieces of onions, mushrooms overcooked.. If you like grease food that's the place for you.

Create newish restaurant I say newish.But it's probably more than fifteen years old, still young for as long as i've been coming to the area. But those have specials trying out new things for breakfast.It's a great spot conveniently located within Lakewood Ranch. Ultra friendly staff and we're able to get a table right away.It suited us perfectly it's actually a nice setting even better.We could get a parking spot right outside.The restaurant perfect for us.

First Watch is always great! This location is no different. We came on a Friday morning. I had the classic with potatoes, eggs and sausage. Wife had the new maple breakfast croissant and the little one had eggs and sausage. All the food came out fast and was delicious. The staff wad incredible and nice. Prices are fair. Perfect experience.

The best breakfast I’ve had since starting my vacation in Sarasota! First Watch in Lakewood Ranch is a true gem for breakfast, brunch, and lunch—definitely worth the visit. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and without question, they were the best I’ve ever tasted this side of New Orleans. The yellow grits were infused with a delightful mix of cheeses and drenched in a rich Cajun sauce. Absolutely superb. The blend of shrimp, sausage, bacon, and other meats made for a perfect, flavorful combination. Alongside the grits came a slice of sourdough bread—hands down the best I’ve had in a long time. Be sure to ask for Jayda as your waitress—she was incredible. Attentive, kind, and personable. The entire staff was warm, helpful, and made the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant is tucked inside a charming plaza in a beautiful neighborhood. Inside, the earthy tones and welcoming design immediately put you at ease and whet your appetite. Now let’s talk coffee. I’m usually pretty critical when it comes to breakfast spot brews—they’re often forgettable, something we tolerate before heading to a real coffee shop. Not here. The coffee at this First Watch was surprisingly excellent—smooth, flavorful, and freshly brewed. And to top it off, Jayda left a full thermal carafe at our table to enjoy. It’s been a long time since I’ve received that kind of service. If you’re ever in Lakewood Ranch, FL, do yourself a favor and stop in. This place will not disappoint.

Best suggestion is to not order take away. The presentation is garbage and they didn’t give me my right order. I would say this location has the worst food. I’ve eaten here a few times and this last time I thought “Surely you can’t mess up French toast.” And they did.

I can’t hear just for my son to have an interview and I ended up sitting down and eating. The food was amazing. I never ate here before customer service was great. The atmosphere was relaxing kind of because I was there at the end of the day and even though I came in late, the food taste fresh and the hostess was very kind and was my server also and she was very kind even though I was there late the cooks seemed to not mind because the food was definitely fresh

The food was incredible, my favorite is the Chickichanga and I tried their new corn salsa. This location is my favorite. The manager Mayhayla checked on my experience as well. Very impressive. Bryanna was my server and she was very attentive, friendly and professional. If you want a great dining experience come to this first watch!

I am compelled to share my disappointing experience at this establishment, which has led me to give it a one-star rating. Despite having some initial concerns regarding the treatment of certain customers by a few staff members, my concerns were unfortunately confirmed, prompting me to write this review. As someone who frequents this First Watch location due to its proximity and healthier food options compared to fast food or junk food, I have had ample opportunity to observe the staff's behavior. Regrettably, I have consistently noticed a disparity in the treatment of customers based on their race. When people of color enter the establishment, they are often not greeted or treated with the same level of respect and courtesy as white customers. On rare occasions, I have experienced welcoming behavior, such as being greeted with a smile and having the door held open for me. However, these instances are far outnumbered by the times I have been met with unfriendly attitudes and unwelcoming facial expressions. During my most recent visit, l encountered a young lady with a short haircut who displayed no friendly demeanor, making it unclear whether she was addressing me or someone else. After placing my order, I returned to request a warmed blueberry muffin, only to be met with hostility by two staff members who seemed to take issue with my request. Their behavior escalated to the point where the manager intervened, displaying professionalism and empathy. While I appreciate the manager's response, I remain uncertain whether her demeanor was genuine or merely a facade. Nevertheless, I strongly advise First Watch to provide its employees with training on treating all customers equally, regardless of their race. It is only through discreet observation that one can truly appreciate the prevalence of this discriminatory behavior. The disparity in treatment is stark: white customers are consistently greeted with smiles, laughter, and friendly inquiries, while black customers are often ignored or treated with hostility. This disparity is not only disappointing but also hurtful and disheartening.

If you don’t love Cracker Barrel we can’t be friends. Breakfast all day is awesome. Patriotic and tons of cool Old advertisements to look at. Food was excellent. Strawberry Cheesecake stuffed pancakes are incredible. Campfire beef awesome.

I had the strawberry cheesecake stuffed pancakes, tasty, a little rich, though with strawberry syrup, cream cheese filling, and whip cream. I probably wouldn't get it again. The build your own breakfast was tasty too. Service from Amanda was great!

Courtney went above and beyond for us. She wasn’t my waitress, but she overheard my daughter complaining, She was hungry and wanted to know if she can get her cereal. And Courtney went and brought us out some cereal right away, even though she wasn’t our waitress. Which calmed my daughter down immediately. And if you know, you know. If you keep the kids calm, the rest of the meal will be fine. Food was delicious. We would totally come back and ask for Courtney next time. Her hospitality goes above and beyond. Thank you for a great experience.

4.5 Stars, Great location, very tasty food, great service. They all look the same, thus one had excellent service, and the food seemed of a better quality than some of my other experiences at other locations. Instagram @foodieadventuresusa

There were 3 of us. One person ordered a beef entree and it was too salty and a little tough. The other two of us had excellent entrees. Our wait staff went to the kitchen and brought another similar item that was much better. Overall 4.75 stars!

We had the best waitress. Very kind and attentive to our needs. She answered all of our many questions. It does have the new paint they were talking about and it really looks and feels nice. They kept the old time photos and gift shop the same. This gives the inside a great feel and you can see better . They do have some new and different items on the menu and kept some of the old standbys as well biscuits cornbread mash potatoes turnip greens pinto beans green beans. My favorites all tasted great

The most delicious pancakes you can eat are here. Plus, the service is excellent.

Amazing eggs Benedict. I got the fried chicken one, hollandaise was very creamy. I got hashbrowns on the side with all the fixings , I did not know what all the fixings were before ordering but it is definetly worth the price!

Shout out to the Metro Diner for hosting a fun car night yesterday. A great atmosphere and wild assortment of cars from a 1957 Porsche Speedster, 40’s mob car complete with Tommy Gun, and of course the 60 and 70s muscle cars you wished you’d held on to. Respect to the incredibly creative and talented owners of the rat rods. Even a couple of old BMW Airhead motorcycles joined a fun group of car enthusiasts. And Metro Diner’s super friendly team was obviously inspired by the car hop vibes. The food of course was great, just as the other positive reviews describe. Fried chicken dinner is a must-have! And the table next to us recommended the meat loaf next time. Thank you to Frank D. and the Metro Diner team! See you again soon.

This was an amazing resturant for breakfast and lunch. They had a wide selection and everyone in our group love each thing they got. Our fantastic waitress Dontressa gave us some great suggestions and was super friendly and helpful. BEST DINER experience I've had in a while. We will definitely be back! Thank you again Dontressa!

Twice, my takeout delivery order was lite. As a regular, I know the portions. I will take this location off of my list for delivery but continue to visit the location in person. Trust me, I spend a whole lot more on deliveries. Advice, run an in-service on portioning.

Adrienne was our server she was great! The food was fantastic. The fried fish was just right. I substituted mash potatoes and gravy for the fries with no problem. The cold slaw was just like what my Aunt used to make. Will definitely be back and recommended this place to those I know. I wish I lived closer. If I could I would give the place and the waitress more than 5 stars

We had breakfast at Metro Dinner during our recent visit to Venice. The food was excellent. I had the Chicken Eggs benedict. My husband and I shared a short stack of pancakes. One cinnamon swirl, and the other pumpkin. The hostess greeted us with a welcoming smile and cheerful hello. The fried chicken was marinated in buttermilk, juicy, tender, and tasty. The hollandaise sauce was the best I have ever had, so buttery and flavorful. The eggs cooked were cooked perfectly. The pancakes were scrumptious. Our waitress was very helpful and did a great job. Hats off to the cooks! Great job guys. Our breakfast was a great introduction to Metro Dinner. We will be back!!

We had a great experience the staff was amazing. Planning on going back for the pot rost.

I had an amazing omelet, nothing fancy but real stuff with a really good service ! You can share your omelet easily ! Old style and what you get in your plate is made with love !!

The BEST breakfast we’ve experienced in a long time!!!! We woke up and searched for breakfast near us… this place popped up and we decided why not? As soon as we walked through the door we felt welcomed. It’s a tight fit but comfortable! Our food came out quick, was reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Our server was courteous and friendly. We can’t wait to come back!

Awesome hometown cafe. A car destroyed the place and with strong will and commitment to their customers They rebuild and the place looks awesome. The staff is friendly and courteous. I go there frequently and it’s always a pleasure. Thanks guy

We ordered thru uber eats while on vacation. Best breakfast we’ve had in the area. Food was deliciously prepared…they labeled every container so we knew exactly what meal was in what box. Their breakfast potatoes were perfect…the sausage gravy was like back home in Indiana where I grew up. Asked for special instructions on the food/eggs and they nailed it!! I highly recommend this diner…don’t hesitate to try their food!!!! Thanks restaurant staff…appreciate all your efforts!!

Update 10/30/2025 Return visit for breakfast and ordered the Mexican omelet. Food was delicious and plentiful. Not very often i tap out on a meal. But was stuffed and even brought some food home which will another meal. Service was great and coffee cup never came close to running dry. What a great find while vacationing down south. Stopped in for a good southern breakfast and hit the jackpot! Ordered the 1/2 order of the Pile Up - Pile of country home fries, fresh biscuit split, sausage patties, topped with sausage gravy, shredded cheddar, and finally topped with scrambled eggs. Even with the half order, it was a decent serving and I left full. Service was great and we were served coffee not long after sitting down which is always a win for breakfast. All the staff were friendly and showed off the southern hospitality

Sweets has good food and service. The sausage links aren't that skinny crap they serve elsewhere. Man finger sized with good flavor. Waitress was excellent. I don't recall her name. There was four of us and the only thing we did not like was the weak coffee. Tasted like they added fresh grinds to the old already brewed grinds. Gave it that watered down flavor. Atmosphere is cozy. It's always a stop when im over that way.

This tiny diner packs a ton of flavor! The food comes fast and fresh with friendly service. There’s a ton of breakfast options, including the original Pile Ups and homemade muffins. There are also lunch options. The portions are generous. The staff are all incredibly kind. However, our server, Melissa, was an absolute peach! An excellent spot to grab a quick bite.

This place was amazing. It was the first time we've been there and were gladly surprised. Food was amazing, service top notch! Price is average, we ordered 5 plates and 5 drinks and spend around $80 plus tip

The salads were amazing! Loved the lime sauce they use! Everything tasted good and fresh. Food was done and delivered fast to the table but without loosing quality. The service was good, the waiter helped us with a couple doubts and was always available. Price was fair. Recommend their Brunch options, for sure.

I loved the smoked salmon frittata! Our waitress was very attentive even though it was busy. I tried the seasonal mint mocha iced coffee and it was delicious!

This place was amazing. The food, staff and atmosphere was perfect. This restaurant got added to the places I frequent. We tried a variety of menu items and there wasn’t even one that didn’t taste great. The pumpkin pancakes were so fresh you could taste the pumpkin rather than flavoring. The dining area was spotless and the waitress came by the perfect amount. An all around amazing experience. A must visit!!!

the food is always great. they have great seasonal dishes and drinks. very consistent with the quality. wanted to shout out jill's customer service as she went above and beyond to make our experience memorable.

First Watch in Estero has become our go-to morning destination, and it’s clear why—it consistently delivers delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit feel special. From the moment you walk in, the place feels bright and inviting. The menu is full of thoughtful, wholesome options—fluffy omelets made just right, perfectly seasoned avocado toast, and vibrant, fresh-pressed juices that feel like sunshine in a glass. Everything we’ve tried has been bursting with flavor and made to order. The service is warm and attentive, with staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. They make recommendations without pressure, manage timing and refills with care, and bring a spark of kindness to the whole meal. Whether it’s a relaxed weekend breakfast or a quick midweek pick-me-up, First Watch delivers consistently. It’s a refreshing and satisfying dining experience—and a place we look forward to revisiting every time we’re in town.

Absolutely delicious meal special for fall - Brussels hash. Drinks were delightful and they were accommodating when we asked to move our seat to the outside patio after we were finished eating.

So glad we stopped at this cute little diner while traveling thru Naples / Golden Gate. We were greeted by Nana herself and Karen took such great care of us! The food is amazing - you will not be disappointed or hungry after leaving here!

The food was excellent and the service was satisfactory. However, some highly prejudiced customers engaged in an extremely inappropriate conversation for the duration of our visit. Surprisingly, it appeared to be the norm and they weren't instructed to cease. Although the food was wonderful, the clientele prompts me not to return.

Went the other day for breakfast and ordered a full size sausage gravy and biscuits, should have gotten a half size! Too much to eat in one sitting for under 9 bucks! It was so delicious! Highly recommend this place for homemade food and large portions!

I visited Nana's Diner, for my first time the day after Hurricane Milton (the second week of October 2024). My girlfriend and I, wanted breakfast. All fast food chains and popular restaurants nearby were closed due to power outages. Nana's, was the only one we found to be open, so we decided to try it. It was busy that morning! So we had a slight wait to be seated. As we were patiently waiting for a table, we watched the staff QUICKLY clear and clean tables, seat the next customers on the waiting list and take their orders. Very impressive to see how they hustled about. Once seated, we quickly received a menu, and our drink order was taken. The drinks were delivered quickly, and we placed our breakfast orders. For as busy as they were that day, we received our food in a very timely manner. The food was fresh and pleasing to the taste buds. Since my first visit, I have returned several times for a delicious home-style cooked breakfast. The only thing that I continue to find displeasing and sometimes very annoying is that they never have any music playing to relax by and drown out other customers' conversations!! Some of the conversations I hear are loud voices talking about death, funerals, hospital visits, illnesses and disabilities etcetera! All of the things you DON'T want to hear while you're eating!!!! They have a television on, usually set to FOX News! And I've heard some very displeasing customer conversations about recent politics because of what they were seeing and hearing on the television. Which I can't stand to listen to any more! I've heard enough of that, too!! The television should be set to something suitable for all audiences, including children and NOT about politics and depressing news from around the world. People can listen to that stuff in the privacy of their own homes. For example, Burger King plays things similar to the funniest videos. "Nana's" really needs to consider playing music and muting the television. The food and service are too good to lose potential repeat customers over undesirable conversations and television stations! I have read some other customer reviews with similar opinions, so I am not the only one whom feels this way. So, I give them 4-stars, because the food and service are good! They just need to work on the sound atmosphere!! Regards, A New Potential Repeat Customer

Very cozy place with a warm atmosphere. Great service!

Went a little crazy with the five egg omelette and a side of biscuits n gravy but I ain’t 6’3” 260 for nothin… your boys gotta eat! Nothin like a good ol down home meal a FL boy like me can respect. Good on ya. Great service. Mom am pop ambience is a dying breed. This might be the last one left in naples… dang sure ain’t what it used to be. This a good un thogh. Come through, you’ll be well please.

Per usual, Nana’s was delicious! This was the first time we tried their lunch menu, as we normally do breakfast here which is also incredible! We had the cheese burgers with friends and potato salad. The staff here are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet! They are so genuinely helpful and kind. The atmosphere is really fun! If you’re in the area I would strongly suggest checking them out!

Our experience was so much better in this location compared to Sarasota. Perhaps it was due to being a smaller store and being staffed well but they had better customer service and and our server was more attentive. Food was pretty good. I like that they have healthy options. We liked their beet juice more than we expected. It was earthy and we liked that it was not too sweet. Better than the purple haze drink which was too sweet for my taste. We liked dining here and looking forward to coming back.

What a way to end a vacation in Venice Florida other than visiting the local First Watch. The food and the atmosphere was amazing. But the service that Mr. Sean provided us with was phenomenal. Very attentive and made sure our dining experience was pleasant...... Sean you have made our vacation complete thank you.

My second time at this location as I am used to Sarasota's locations. I ordered a Kale & Berry Salad "to go" and was told to wait 10 minutes or so but I was surprise when it was not more than 5 minutes. When I opened it to my surprise, it was no "kale" to be seen on top or underneath the chicken. It was also too late to go back and request the proper ingredients. I understand this is a "Franchise" but someone forgot to get proper instructions. My first visit was not pleasant either but being on a busy day, I wanted to give them a second change.

Went here for breakfast with my family, we have a family member with very strict allergies and this place was perfect! All our food was very tasty, and fresh. Our waitress was very sweet and double checked on everything for our meals due to allergies. A group of 5 and all of us were thrilled with our food. (One being a kid, she loved the fruit & pancakes! Great options on the kids menu!) The environment was very comfortable inside, very clean, and smelled fantastic. There is also outside dining as an option! I would highly recommend this place and would return if I visit Venice again. Thank you for the wonderful meal and kindness!

Always enjoy a visit to first watch, and am glad they have locations in other states. Arrived at the tail end of lunch, but it was still pretty busy, but no wait for our table. Power wrap was delicious as was the pumpkin muffins. Portions are always generous and a reasonable price for the food quality and portion size. Would definitely come back.

This is a really nice spot, much loved by locals. Service is fast and friendly, and the food fresh and on point. A great menu, i chose the benefict with smoked salmon, fabulous.

Love this place Super good breakfast food Amazing drinks

We had a really nice breakfast at this place when we were on our summer vacation in Florida in July. I ordered the Avocado Toast and it was really tasty, the avocado itself as well as the bread. Usually the Avocado Toast comes either eggs on top but I ordered it without because im vegan. This was luckily no problem. I have to to say though that the toast was really small and could have been a bit bigger for the price. With the toast came a little side fruit salad which was really good and because of it I was full in the end. My mother ordered the steel-cut oatmeal. It was really really tasty as well but also the portion was again not the biggest. Luckily there was the muffin which was big. My sister ordered the Floridian French Toast and was also very very happy with it. The portion was good and the fruits were fresh. My dad had the Eggs Benedict with bacon. He found it really tasty and the portion was really good. All in all, we had a delicious breakfast at first watch. the portions could be a little bigger in places, but everything was fresh and tasted great. the service was also great.

The Elote Breakfast Burrito may be the best Breakfast Burrito I have ever eaten. We shared the special Blueberry Lemon Cornbread which is actually worth a trip on it's own. The portions are generous and service is excellent.

Very pleasant and nice customer service. Food was perfect. Definitely will be back.

We all had SO MUCH FUN at First Watch downtown Ft. Myers! We had a big group, and Allison was sooo wonderful with us! She is always so patient and upbeat! Our group had not seen each other for a long time, and Allison graciously took our picture for us. She’s awesome! The food is always top-notch, and the service excellent!

We’ve been to First Watch many times, but this was the first trip to this location. Service was great. The host was a nice young guy and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is my eggs were over easy and not over medium like I ordered. That’s not a line in the sand at all. Great experience. We’ll definitely come here again.

It’s always a good experience! Love the seasonal menus, keeping a fresh option always available along with their year-round options. How about that Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast? 😍🍽️😋🍁🍂

I have been staying in the neighborhood for a week and am lucky to have First Watch within walking distance. The food is exceptional and I am thankful that they have some healthier options like bowls, granola, steel cut oats, right down to phenomenal juices. The service is extremely pleasant and attentive. Thanks
