I had food certificates for a unreviewed restaurant in Naples. I rolled the dice and I crapped out.
Just getting there is a problem. I took Hwy 75 against my better judgement. Floridians idiots tailgating speeding(85+) weaving in out. Plus why do these morons play follow the leader. 10 cars in one lane and only 1 or 2 in the adjacent WOW , inattentiveness. BAD & STUPID people.
So Paradise to Go. The real name now is Sr. Mireille. A Haitian eatery. I never had Haitian food. But the food I had was ok. ....1 ...of the problems the menu was written ONLY in Haitian. I had the cook/owner? tell me what on the menu. I gambled when I heard beef.. It was a beef tendon of sorts. Along with a black bean rice. And what looked like a plantain. Looked and tasted OK. Second I gave a 20.00 she had to go out for change. There were tables to sit but its really a to go place.
Food is ok but unless you know Haitian food go on by.

SOOOOOO disappointing Don Anthony Pizza
I think my title reflects the poor judgement of the folks of SW Floridians.
I saw 8 reviews or so with 5 stars on Yelp about Don.. WOW what meds are they on.
I phoned my order in . I was told 45 minutes ,five stars for the delivering EXACTLY on time
Now the food. It was brought to me luke warm. I did not expect super hot but at least better than luke warm.
Lets talk heat. I requested BBQ & HOT wings. The bbq was mild and sweet. Ok thats BBQ.
BUT hot wings is suppose to be HOT thats why they give a dressing on the side. These wings were a step above catsup. Terrible.
Now the standard for pizza. Pepperoni & mushroom. The pie had plenty of topping and looked really great. I thought the crust was a tad under cooked. A bit oily, But hey its pepperoni. The sauce was a plenty. A little too sweet and not enough oregano or garlic.. .
Over all I will be passing on this place.

A screwed up crew
I am really ticked off. It was 3 pm on a Wednesday. NO ONE IN LINE INSIDE. 4 cars in drive thru.
I was very articulate. 1 double (2 fish patties) filet of fish sandwich with EXTRA pickles and a Big Mac. Plus I had BOGO coupon.
SIMPLE.................
I got my order quickly, really too fast. Drive home. Open my bag and on the fish box extra pickles was noted.
When the box was open NO DOUBLE FILET. NO EXTRA PICKLES.
Plus my BIG MAC was cold. It was only a 5 minutes ride home. And the cheese was NOT melted.
Please how incompetent can a crew and management be. If it was lunch time rush, yes. This is no excuses.
So from the order taker to the crew you screwed up..

Reuben Smokehouse well deserved 5 stars for food
Hi! folks I was looking for my brisket since coming to SW Florida. I saw Reuben all over the web. People were giving it 5 stars. Since the people here in Florida do not really know good food I was apprehensive .
But lo and behold these folks really knew good food. I was here at lunch 1115 AM on Tuesday
I was started off with a warm roll .....Soft fluffy warm. No need for butter or jam.
I opt for the platter. $19.00....A WHOLE chicken & melt in your mouth beef brisket. My sides were southern style green beans & a cole slaw just wet to dry perfection .
The chicken was bbq just right with tads of burnt skin. A must when you cook on a grill and not in the oven .( Sonny's oven cook their)
The brisket was lean to fat as a brisket should be. Falling apart where you almost may need a spoon. MMMMMMM. They offer 3-4 sauces for your pleasure.. House, Sweet, Carolina( mustard type) and If you are brave enough a ....scott bonnet/pineapple infused sauce that will make you cry with heavenly delight. Be warned ONLY the REAL mannly type should experiment with this. This is my fav. I like my sauce the way I like my women HOT & Spicy. I am sure less than .01% of Floridians can handle this.
They have burger meatloaf and other goodness. A bit for all. Food 5 stars yes. My service was outstanding too.
Cramped parking in front more in the rear.

WWEEELLLLLLLL I am not that Impress, with GO GO Diner, NFM,FL
After 2 years of hearing how great Go Go diner is I was able to go.
But unless you are a corn beef hash aficionado it is just a good diner. Nothing spectacular.
I was there on a Sunday morn. I was surprise as to how small it was. My server Randy was great.
Coffee.... good for coffee.
Corn beef hash is the specialty but I am not a hash type.. A variety of of pancakes, red velvet,chocolate chip blue berries etc.
What is the big deal of red velvet cake and such???? It seems to be all over here.
Anyway. I had the Rebel Rebellion. 3 eggs,your style, 4 thick slices of bacon(mmmmmmm) and the southern staple of biscuit and gravy. All very good ,easier to buy then make for self at home.
Over all a good diner,but outstanding IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII don't think so.
Would I go back definitely

Olde Fish House Marina, Matlacha, A rave of good food & service
Well this is my first review of the year. I must say its good.
This is a market & eatery. You cannot get it any fresher. It comes from the ocean to your table.
I had fried mahi mahi. Cooked to a golden brown. With tasty cole slaw, hush puppies and delightful garlic french fries.
My server,Brandon, was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and attentive.
Not a fancy place you are on the water and out doors. Plates are paper or such. A bit pricey, but all seafood is expensive in Florida. I believe they charge more so the Government can get more tax money. ( There is no income tax in Florida)
Everyone I talk with were great.
My only issue was leaving the parking lot. A bit of a struggle with only a 2 lane road.
Despite this
I highly recommend you give them a try.
