Well I was hungry for meat being the carnivore I am. Saw this ad of World Famous Cheesesteak.
I was suck in and ripped off.
But first the good. The place had 8 or so tables and booths. Most were occupied. I was greeted by all workers. And it was not forced.
They took my order and said it would be 10 minutes..That was true to form .
Anyway the smell of the sandwich filled my car and got me hungry.
But when I opened the box was I disappointed. It was a small sandwich cut in two. Not enough cheese,meat onions peppers. (See my pics) to qualify for a Deluxe sandwich. Plus at $7.50 I felt ripped off. It tasted ok but NEVER MORE.

MMMMM fantastic OKUK Fish & Chips
I have been anticipating fish & chips for the pass 2 months. My swim buddy turned me on to OK UK British Fish & Chips. I was not disappointed. They even have Sarson Malt vinegar. The real deal from England. Created 1791 in London..
I got the King size fish & chips. An inch thick beer batter Atlantic cod. It was cooked to perfection. Lightly brown on the outside juicy and moist on the inside. It was delished. Along with hand cut chips,( thick cut french fries for you non world travelers). A side roll and coleslaw. Cole slaw was good not great. But you come here for the beer batter fish.
Prices are reasonable for SWFL. It is tucked away in a strip mall. A bit hard to find but when you need a fix of fish & chip worth the trip.

It is not my week for good food
Cajun Bowl.... I have seen the ads for a few months. It is only 2 miles away or so.
I had high expectations. I love gumbo I make a GREAT GUMBO. I have had outstanding gumbo in Oakland,Ca eatery, and friends grandma recipes. . BUT
The good first.. Beautiful decor, wonderful folks and a surprising tasty potato salad.
The gumbo..... Wow it was very watery , no roux, not thick bad texture. The taste was overwhelm with too much smokiness . Plenty of sausage though that was good., the rice should have been served on the side or in a cradle. It had a good heat .. It sneaked up on you... Over all thumbs down.
Red beans and rice....NOPE... no flavor just beans mixed with rice. Better taste out of a box.
I hate writing negative reviews but I am for the flavor of the food.
Also 10 bucks for a gumbo and canned tea seems a bit pricey. I was hoping for house sweet tea. I was hoping for better.

Fucking stupid drivers/ Paradise Eatery????
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..
