Well I was going some place else. I had to duck in here cause of the poring rain.
I went with the days special, beef stew. It tasted ok. But unusual to have rice and fries with it.
Service was spotty though not many folks.
I am not a cuban fan.

Taco Bell
Taco Bell, Handcock Bridge Parkway, Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents and and chatter.
I wanted to try a local place but they were closed so I went here.
I order the special of the moment which was 5 bucks additionally 2 burrito supreme.
Hate the special. No flavor and small.
Speaking of small....the burrito supreme continue to get smaller. I used to use 2 hands for 1 burrito longer. They seem to taste the same.
I went thru the drive thru...pretty fast... of course they zip the money from your credit card.
A fine place if broke, drunk or have floridians taste buds.

Paradise Deli & Market
Paradise Deli & Market, Surfside Blvd., Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter. I ordered Crunchy Hadhock Fish fry. 13 bucks. I got a mere 2 oz. of cole slaw & 2 oz. of potato salad.
The filet was about 8 oz. When I tried to cut it with my fork the crust broke off in chunks. I had to eat the fish and the fried batter separately. It tasted fine. But it is not cooked or prepared properly if the batter falls off the fish.
The slaw was just mediocre nothing to be impress. Tater salad was just potatoe with mayo and bare min-um of spices.
I thought with this being a feature item it would be their A game. I was wrong.
The best part of my meal was the excellent service
NOTE : Due to weather issues on the internet per CENTURY LINK pics will follow at a later date.

Me-N-Tito's Mexican Grill
Me-N-Tito's Mexican Grill, Cleveland Ave., Ft. Myers, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I was having high expectations. I was truly disappointed .
I order a burrito. $8.... Pork, rice, cheese , peppers, refried beans. See Pics.
What I got was dried rice, dried pork no cheese to be seen. Hardly any refried beans and a bit of jalapeño peppers. ( though I ask for extra.)
The cheese sauce that was provided for my chips, had no flavor per se and was just a consistently of water.
Staff was profession.
I will never go back. Just a bad food.

Mels Diner
Mel's Diner, Pine Island Rd., Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I got here early so I had to do breakfast.
First off staff was nice and attentive.
I order the waffle combo of sorts. The menu stated" we do not make it til you order it". This is
printed above the waffle.
(I knew something was a foot, when my order got here before I opened my magazine.)
I asked for eggs over easy bacon and a sausage patty.
The food tasted OK, BUT, the issue was the waffle, the eggs and meats were room temperature or just plain COLD.
As I sliced into the waffle I expected steamed to arise or the butter melt. It did NOT happen. Plus from the look of the color of my waffle, ( see pics ). I should have known.
The medium sized eggs though cooked to a bit over easy were room temperature. The bacon,was a bit over done, and sausage were just room temp.
The only thing that was hot was my coffee.
After having an outstanding breakfast a few days ago at the Go G* Diner, on Pondella.

Zaxby's
Zaxby's, Cleveland Ave., Ft. Meyers, Fl., Here is some chatter and my 2 cents on the food.
I have had this booked mark for a while. My inner voice has stopped me from going. Now I know why.
First whoever design the lot were idiots ( must be floridian)
To enter main door,you must pass thru the drive thru lane.
If there was a line at the drive thru, YOU would have your SAFETY in jeopardy. You would have to wait or take a chance on a typical floridian driver and go between 2 automobiles.
( Florida ALWAYS in top 5 worst drivers in the country.)
They got this right by having handicapped spaces near a entrance.
Though if you are in a wheelchair or disable it magnify the risk.
Now I must say all the staff were nice and friendly.
My first time here not sure what to get?
I was given a sample of the so called hot sauce. NOT HOT..just too much vinegar.
I settled on the cuba sandwich.
The fries were good just too small of a portion.
The chicken breast was bigger than I thought. Tasted like a steamed or boiled breast. No flavor per se... I just was NOT impress with the sandwich over all.
Will I be back? Naw.

Go Go Diner
Go Go Diner, Pondella Rd, N. Ft. Myers, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I order the western omelette. It is $9.99 ... Which I thought was expensive. And it is compared compered to other joints.
BUT... I have found it worthy at this price. Here is why.
They use 3 LARGE eggs...the eggs are cooked properly. ALL of the ingredients are chopped in mouth size pieces. The eggs are stuffed to overflowing.And it just tasted so much better .
The sides of the house potato were perfect. A nice portion, very moist and grilled properly.
My toast was a thick slice of fresh bread, expertly butter and toasted.
Service was on pare.Done well.

McDonalds
McDonald's, Santa Barbara Blvd., The Coma, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Well I had a coupon for free fries & soda when I bought the new 1/4 pounder.
It been a year or so since coming here I believe
First they redecorated the place in an ugly like green decor... I guess to run you out faster. It does kick me out.
The french fries now really suck... They are smaller & less meaty. They remind me of Steak & Sh*ke. Terribly small.
They also are using less teenagers. They have 2 kiosk to order and pay. I did not notice them until I sat down. I REFUSE TO USE MACHINES THAT TAKE AWAY JOBS. (W*lmart u r on notice too.)
1/4 burger it tasted ok. It looked nothing like the advertisement. BUT $4.69 for 4 ounces of meat. I understand overhead but at the cost of young humans first job of responsibility... Nope.

Thirsty Restaurant
Thirsty Restaurant, Vincennes St., Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents and chatter.
I tried something I never heard of before..The cold platter ...oh yes a cup of chili.
The chili, house made. Just ok. Needed hot sauce to kick it up.
The cold platter. It is a large chilled plate with your choice of egg salad, chickens salad etc.
There are hard boil egg, fresh fruit, a dipping sauce, olives,veggies. Healthy stuff that is served cold. Something for a hot day... I found it light and a bit refreshing.
Truly for the healthy folks. Simple but filling.. 9 bucks or so...You will not find this dish at many other places.
I enjoyed it.
Service was great.

Metro Diner
Metro Diner, Cape Coral Parkway, E., Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chit chat.
I was in a problem. My power at my house was out again. ( 12 times in 7 years in florida.. 2 times in California in 19 years).
So I needed to hangout for a while. They provide free wifi here.
I order the board item $ 15.00 of country fried steak, a biscuit, hash brown, large eggs over easy and endless coffee. Coffee extra.
Coffee was very good.
I thought this was a bit pricey. It was BUT...the steak was large, eggs were large, portions in general were a good size.
The best part was it tasted very good.
The order came very quickly. I was suprize because I had to wait for 15-20 minutes to get a table.
My server Curtis was outstanding. He checked on me frequently, filling my cup.
Other staff members did a great job.
Though it was a rushed on a Sunday morn the crew did a excellent job performance.

Wild About Popcorn
Wild About Popcorn, Del Prado Blvd., Cape Coral, Fl.
Here is the place that fills the popcorn nut with what ever they desire.
The product is made fresh daily. Plus you can sample for free any flavor.
The folks are great.
The big plus for me its nearby and is NOT in a big shopping mall.
So come on down and try.

Buckett's
Buckett's, S. Pointe Blvd. , FT. Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food a rant & rave.
I ordered the Philly cheese steak 9.99 and 2 bucks extra with steak fries.
This is my rave.
This is the BEST phylly sandwich I have had here in SWFL since leaving SF. Bay. . It was on a great loaf of bread. The size was perfect. The mushrooms were fresh...onions grilled correctly. Cheese melted just right.
OMG the steak fries were big and just crispy enuff....
Oh yes Kati my server was the perfect Buckette' girl.
Now my rant... They serve wings...I am not a fans in general of wings.
But they CLAIMED of a suicide sauce......EEEEEHHHHHH
WRONG.....It was only a maybe step above Tabasco sauce. Too much vinegar in general.
When the mood for a Philly hits me I know where to go. !!!

Crave
Crave, McGregor Blvd. Ft. Myers, FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Last time I was here I had a disappointing experience. So I was hoping it would change.
I order the MOST expensive item on the board. $20.00 Pot Roast..... (see pic)
What I got was a watery carrot soup with very small chunks of beef and a splash of mash potatoe.
Now what there was of beef was tender and tasted fine. The liquid has a taste of a wine. Big chunks of carrots. With a small amount of mashed potato.
I do not mind cooks taking a artistic brush to standard comfort food. I do not mind paying extra. (see pic)
But no flavor of bay leaf, garlic or onions. Standard stuff for this comfort food was tasted.
I did whine to my server ( aside from the bad food she did a outstanding job) She did only charge me $15 for the sandwich item version instead.
But this is outrageous.
If they do not know how to make, then do not. Plus I blame the customers who tolerate this.
I will never again spend my cash here. Would I go back? Not on MY dime....

Salty Papa Shrimp House
Salty Papa Shrimp House, McGregor Blvd., Ft. Myers, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I order the FB special and jambalaya for home.
Wow the special is out of the world. Big shrimp fried perfect. The cole slaw outstanding. Along with the service. Cocktail sauce balanced just right. Fries so good.
The Jambalaya...I think is pricey. But is filled with shrimp,sausage and such. It was missing some green peppers part of the trinity in New Orleans... Also not as spicy as it should be. But floridians are BIG wimps when it comes to hot & spicy or sophisticated taste buds.
When you go asked for the FB special or any else....It is wonderful...
