Ginza Japanese Restuarant

Ginza Japanese Restaurant, Cleveland Ave., Ft. Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
If you love japanese food this is the place.AYCE for one price. Not made until you order it.
I found this to be fresh, tasty & they encourage to eat up.
Service was great. Also the largest eatery I have seen in Ft. Myers.

Soul Bowll Cafe

Soul Bowl Cafe, Dr. MLK Jr. Blvd., Ft. Myers, Fl, Here is some chatter and my 2 cents on the food.

Chatter... First off the staff is great and the sweet tea is wonderful. I was here on a Wednesday at 11 am.

Now the food.    I order the smother pork chop, smother chicken (to go) and peach cobbler. You got a choice of white or yellow rice. Plus a corn muffin.
To be honest I was truly disappointed. Beside the tea the yellow rice was the best part of the meal.   I make better smother chix or pork chop.

( Then for a white boy I have more soul than I can control)

It was 5 bucks & 8 bucks respectively. Just cooked in a plain tasting brown gravy. Pork chop on the tough side..... (I cook with onions, my pork chops falls off the bone. and mine tastes outstanding.)
 ... The corn muffin was just a tad bigger than a golf ball. Also very dry and just as hard.
The peach cobbler was terrible. It was lacking peaches, too much cinnamon, a tough crust ( I could barely cut the crust with a plastic knife.).. ;-(   and a lot of liquid.

I was looking forward to a 5 star, soul food cuisine. NO not at this time.

Utopia Soul cafe

Utopia Soul Cafe, Dr. MLK,Jr, Blvd. Ft. Myers, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Chatter... It has been 5 years since I have been here. They have been open closed then open again.
They are now open... It has changed. From being a full restaurant to a hole in the wall for working class folks.
BUT  the food is still good and for me economical.
I got  fish and fries with a soda, 5 bucks Taste good and cheap...You can get burger for the same price. They serve breakfast all day...   :-).
Staff is wonderfull.

A couple of tips...Parking lot in rear, parking on street iffy. There is a hair salon next door called Utopia Salon.

Arby's

Arby's, Hancock Bridge, Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chit chat.
Feeling cheap & adventurous. So tried the gyro for 3 bucks and onion rings for 2.50.
You get what you pay for.Beef gyro is ok . For a real one pay more money and find a food truck
So much better.
Ahh these onion ring were Better than at most restaurant. I have tried at sit down eateries, 3 times the price not as good as Arby's..
So I guess depending on your wallet, what you wish to sacrifice for the taste buds.
I used the drive thru quick and efficient .

Hana Japanese Steak House & Sushi Lounge

Hana Japanese Steak House & Sushi Lounge, Hancock Bridge Parkway, Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
On a whim I walked on in. I order the Steak teriyaki Bento box. $10.50 (see pic). I got seaweed salad at additional cost. It was tremendous. Cold crisp and delish.
My steak was well marbled and melted in my mouth.Cooked to a perfect medium rare. All the other items were perfect. Though the wasabi could have been a bit spicier.
A outstanding meal and service.

McCarter's BBQ

I have only had the ribs. Today chicken. $9 for a sandwich. Thats 6-7 pieces of chix and 2 slices of white bread.
MMMMM so good.
For you newbies this is the perfect hole in the wall. BBQ ribs & chicken. PERIOD. Florida mild. Florida hot. ( not really hot)

Chicago Pizza

Chicago Pizza, SE 47st, Cape Coral,Fl., Here is some chatter and my 2 cents on the food.
I was out of ideas of what to eat. So I decided to revisit a place I gave a bad review.
I was not happy with the price $27.00 delivered. A 14 inch deep dish, pepperoni/mushroom pie & a grilled polish sausage sandwich.
I still do not like deep dish. Alas, The ingredients were pretty good. The sauce was a bit sweet, nice 'room and fair amount pepperoni. Except for the crust issue and HAVING to use a fork, I liked it. It also tasted good next day cold.
The polish was a bit bland but the mustard kicked it up.
I was told delivery would be 1 hour 15 minutes. I got it in 55 minutes.

Over all a good experience thist ime.

Kwann's Express

Kwans Express, Cleveland Ave.,Ft. Myers. This place is not worth a review.
I am from the San Francisco Bay Area,California. I have had my share of bad chinese food.
This is beyond bad. The egg roll is from a frozen box. I saw it. It only had cabbage inside.I got sweet & sour pork ,with a kung pao beef, extra spicy, pork fried rice.
WOW talk about nasty, The pork was from a frozen bag, sauce from a jar. The veggies were frozen, mushrooms out of a can. NO hot peppers at all.

This is a pick up or delivery joint.STAY AWAY....

Smoke'n Pit BBQ

Smoke'n Pit BBQ, Tamiami Trl, N. Ft. Myer, Fl., Here is my 2 cents and chatter.
My order. Beef brisket, beans, tater salad, cole slaw.
The best part of the meal was the garlic toast & tater salad. Though the tater salad could have used some onions.
The brisket was  horrible. Tough and NO spices. Not even S & P.
They are known for their beans. They just suck. Beans just cooked in water. The bbq beans are made with left over brisket,  their nasty sauce and other.
This is a good example of the VERY bland taste buds of floridians.

The servers are wonderful. It not their fault the food is badly made.

La Trattoria Cafe Napoli

La Trattoria Napoli, Cleveland Ave., Fort Myers,Fl. Here is my 2 cents and chit chat.
This is such a gem.
I order a cup of wedding day soup, got free garlic bread and Espnol Taver-Galican Style. A sandwich of chorizo, pork, bolo ham, mozzrella cheese. With a chilled pasta salad.
I did not know what any of this was.
AAhhh but I do know it tantalize my taste buds. It made me such a happy trooper.
The crunchy toasted roll ,the aioli and combination the other ingredients.
The wedding soup was meatballs, beans  and pasta. Mildly salty but that was me. I should have gotten the bowl. So delish!
So good. The mix of italian and spanish cuisine  explains the crowd of folks as I left.
Service was outstanding. Though a bit pricey for lunch , well worth it.

Micelli's Restaurant

Micelli's Restaurant, Pine Island Rd., Matlacha, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chatter.
I have been here twice for turkey day. A big buffet AYCE. It was great.
This time I got the  french dip with cole slaw and the chili. The chile for 4 bucks a cup,WOW, it just suck. It was only a step,maybe,above eating out of the can. Just beans and ground beef. You could barely taste the cumin. Not spicy. Plus you got a whole lot less than a can.
The cole slaw was just ok.
My entree cost $11.00 . It was a small sandwich. The cheese seemed melted away. Not much meat and au jus was so salty. I left the au jus there.
Service was good.
The view of the water is wonderful. I wish my meal this time was too.

Lehne Burger

Lehne Burger, Cape Coral Pkwy, E., Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.

First some chatter.. This is runned by folks from Germany. They have German soccer on tv.
They have an item called german meat loaf. I was allowed a sample. It is like a bologna. When grill it taste like a fried hotdog or bologna, but very salty.  It was good. I guess they add it to hamburger .
NOTE: There is NO wheelchair access AND there is a small step up to get to the eatery. So this
can be hard for folks,( like me), to enter. Plus only 1 handicapped parking.
In essence not very disable friendly

The food. It is hamburgers. I got their classic. Everything on it. Medium rare of course. I am not a big  burger person, but this was cooked to my request and tasty. Fries with it. I liked it. They have a chart showing what degree that you like your burger cooked. ( medium rare is for the true carnivore). They have a menu of standard burgers. Plus a separate form where you  can design your meal.( see pic).
On average with burger/fries it is12 bucks. Drink 2.39 or 2.69!!???
OH yes the have a stand where you take your bill to instead of paying the server.
Service was good.
