Culvers, Pine Island, PASS

Well here is my 2 cents and some chit chat. I paid 15 bucks for a small drink and 3 piece cod dinner.  Worth the money???   NO. The drink was 1.69. If you added ice you are lucky to get maybe 8 ounces of fluid. (Yes I took it home and measured it).

Now the 3 pieces of cod were not too bad but they were on small size.  So So for value. I got green bean .. They tasted fine but were still crunchy. I guess more healthy for you. The cole slaw not to shabby. Creamy a bit sweet a bit tart. The roll was the best part. Plus cold fresh butter to add if desire. Thier tartar sauce was just ok nothing to remember. I forgot it already.

The personnel was ok  cordial at best with smiles.

This is my second visit and unless I get a 50% off coupon my last trip.

So if you want or love the burgers or ice cream check out other local places for a better deal.

Red Lobster, shrimp

Here is my 2 cents. I went back for the $16.95 all you can eat shrimp. 5 different flavors. I got fried,scampi and teriyaki. I loved the scampi, butter and garlic mmmm good. Teriyaki sweet and sticky. Fried cannot go wrong with fried.

. Plus easy to take home.. Rolls are great. The only problem is if you eat a bunch you must keep ordering it and have the server run back and forth.
So be nice and tip well.
The salad was a bit skimpy. and you only got sour cream/butter with a bake potato . Then again you are there to pig out on the shrimp. Over all a pretty good deal.
Service was good people fine.

Ruby Tuesday

Here is my 2 cents and some chit chat. Well for the past 2 months I have been clobbered with ads/coupon.  So I decided to use a coupon. 5 bucks off a 15 purchase. I ordered a sweet tea it was usual commercial  brand ok.  I must say the rolls were delightful. I even took some home.

I got the added salad bar. 2.99.

Everything looked good and fresh EXCEPT the mushroom. They need to be taken off and saute. They were past their prime. Beside the greens I tried 3 of their other salad.

First the potato salad, too much mayo not enough flavor. Add some green onion,then you are good to go. The pasta with ham again too much mayo not enough flavor. I tried something that had broccoli in it just plain nasty.. If you go stick with the lettuce and such.

I was adventurous. I got the cajun jambalaya pasta.

It was interesting 4-5 shrimp, chicken and sausage over spaghetti noodle. It was NOT spicy. It was ok. I took it home and after reheating it, it was actually much better.
Service was outstanding. Over all good.
The only bad part was some inconsiderate woman yakking loud on a cell phone. How rude.
Anyway I liked it and will be back for my birthday burger

Island Cafe on the Bay, Good vittles

Well here is my 2 cents and a bit of chit chat. I have seen write ups on this local eatery. They were mix. But the fried chicken was suppose to be good. It was.

I had the fried chicken, cole slaw, biscuit and sweet tea. First off the sweet tea was house brewed. I was disappointed not sweet enough for me. But maybe that's me.
AHHH but it got so much better. When the chicken arrived it was too hot to eat. So lather some butter on the biscuit and dive into the cole slaw.  Biscuit was light fluffy and delish. The house made cole slaw was delectable. I enjoyed it. You know fried chicken is good when eating it hot or cold.  I did both and it was thumbs. Who would know you 'd find good chicken on the bay.
This is easy to find, the views are nice and staff is outstanding. I hope to get back before the snowbirds monopolized   up the place.

Brooke Restaurant, Another great local eatery

Well folks here is my 2 cents on the food & some chit chat..... WOW I was so suprized at the large portion of fish. I have been passing by this none descript end of a small strip mall for too long. This was a Saturday lunch special. A cajun fried fish sandwich.

The filet could have made 2 sandwiches. Now it said cajun but it was down beaten for the unsophisticated  taste buds of floridian... Not really spicy.  But it was very tasty. It was fried to perfection. Tartar sauce was ok.  Cole slaw average. You have a choice of regular fries, fresh Amijo (potato chips)or waffle fries. Next time I will get the waffle fries.
Over all this was the best fish sandwich I have had in my 4 years of eating fish.( Lets note I have had more seafood in the last 4 years than in my entire life  ;-(. .....I am a meat carnivore by nature and choice...)

Plus the waitress and other staff did a outstanding. Thumbs up job. I will be back soon to try other entrees.

Monkey Bar, A ok place

Here is my 2 cents and some chit chat.  I have been trying to go here for lunch for a while. Was it worth the wait????  NO not really... I will give a thumbs up on the service. Very good. The food so so. The sweet tea was ok.  I must say the cole slaw was outstanding!!!! A little sweet and bit tangy good in crunchy...

Now the burger was good not great. I asked for it medium rare but got rare. I prefer under cooking to over cooking. At 9 bucks or so pricey
This stood out.  75 cents for cheese or bacon added hmmmm ok. But 75 cents for a slice of grilled onion.
What the hell????!!! How cheap are onions and how easy to grill a slice??? This should be free.
Over all just ok... I will only be back if someone else foots the bill....

Two Amigos, new eatery in The Cape

Well here is my 2 cents and a bit of chit chat. Lets start with the salsa and chips. Salsa was made for Floridian taste buds. A step above catsup. Too sweet and bland. Chips were a  unknown commercial brand. I was given a hot sauce and diced hot peppers, but it is not the same. I order the 3 enchiladas. Ground beef. The beef was very ground very fine. There was not a lot of sauce and keeping with local taste buds it was bland. Now the quality of the ingredient were good... It was just not very authentic mexican food. Coming from 30 years of living in California I know good Mexican food.
Service was out standing.

 A few notes 8 TV s , a full bar and free Wi-Fi, ask for the pass word.
So if you have unsophisticated taste buds like 99.9 floridian do this is the place for you.
A world traveler. pass on by....
