Beach Brothers BBQ, BBQ in The Cape

Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chit chat. First the food. Well it is typical southern bbq. Ribs and chicken. With add your own table sauce. Hot( not very) and smokey. The ribs were good lean ,meaty ,and fell off the bones

. I had 2 sides, Mac and dirty rice. Not many places have dirty rice. Plus the kicker is this is OUTSTANDING spicy  dirty rice. I loved it. The mac' cheese was great like your momma would make. Over all a good place.
Now some chit chat. This is the first good tasting BBQ in Cape Coral. The other chain places are just that mediocre chains.
It is located off a main drag ,Del Prado, in a strip mall around the corner.Plenty of parking. The folks are great and prices are reasonable.
So if you are in search of local bbq try these folks.

(I was disappointed I am still on a quest for Texas style beef brisket. With a good sauce.)

The Office, a bit of sophistication comes to The Cape

Here is my 2 cents and some chit chat.. I went out to eat lunch and instead I dined. As of this writing The Office has only been open for 2 days.. I must say it was a wonderful experience. The food was fabulous. I had the french version of roast chicken with mash potatos and veggies.

It was divine.
Now the dine was the atmosphere.  An elegant interior. Nice table settings and NO  salt or pepper shakers. To be honest the food did not need it... NO TV..NO WIFI. Soft music in background. A place for folks to enjoy a meal. Or to have quiet whispers for a date.... or to discuss business matters. They are open for now from 1130 AM to 3 PM for lunch and 5 PM to 11 PM for dinner. Take out is available only at lunch.
Parking might be an issue limites street and private available. . Only 1 handicapped space on the side near the ramp.
So if interested in dining and not grabbing a quick meal check out this place and expand your tastebuds.

Two Peas Cafe, OUTSTANDING pies, pretty good lunch

Here is my 2 cents on the food. First they are known for the pies. We drove 25 miles for the taste of the pies. Well worth it... Be warned the pies goes quickly. If you want a particular pie, pecan, apple or cherry. YOU MUST call a day ahead of time to be sure to get it.

Anyway now the lunch. We had the special of the day a beef stroganoff and a simple grilled hotdog

.
They allowed us to sample before we ordered.

My wifey who is very picky really like it. BUT then she is from Brasil. They have a condiment which looks and taste like sand :-(   . So ... I liked it. It was not full of flavor but being in the heart of Florida this is consider exoctic cusine. LOL.  My grilled hotdog hit the spot and was tasty....They do a hearty breakfast and a busy lunch time crowd .

So if in Labelle get a pie get a good meal.

Denny's, Just a plain chain place

Here is my 2 cents. After  another year with the club I got a free meal. Pancakes eggs and bacon.

We also tried the California club sandwich.

I must say this was very good. Avocado, turkey toast etc.

I did notice the bacon is sliced very thin and they give you small eggs. Pancakes were fluffy. Except for portion it was good.
My waitress did a very good job. BUT the host was terrible.. You could tell he did not want to be there. No smile just going thru the motions.
Over all it is just a cookie cutter place that tourist with no adventure or imagination frequent. Typical of floridians.

Mccarthy BBQ, if there was a heaven for carnivores this is it

This is the BEST place for Ribs and Chicken. That all they do. CASH ONLY. One table and take out.
NO sign. On the corner. Seek with your nose. Served with white bread on paper plate or aluminum foil. Plain, mild or hot sauce. The quintessential  HOLE IN THE WALL JOINT!!!
Half slab of ribs 18.00 full slab 25.00..
When you eat  this fall off the bone meaty ribs, If there was a heaven this is the place for carnivores..

Cracker Barrel, Good basic southern food

Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chit chat. Well if you are looking for a hearty breakfast here you go.  French toast, eggs done well, meats are tasty, coffee is hot and refilled. John,our server, did a great job. For a breakfast fare this is a good place. Just note most locations are next to or near a major highway easy to get to. This place does the trick to fill the belly and satisfied the taste buds.

Twin Peaks, Loud bar, good pot roast

Here is some chit chat and my 2 cents on the food....Well folks after reading other reviews , I did not have high hopes for this place.  But I got a free meal because of my birthday. ( signed up with the e club). I was given a choice of pretty much anything on the menu. A full entree. This is better than most others. Others only give you a appetizer or dessert plus you must buy something.

So I went here on a friday at 1130 AM.  Most places are empty.  WOW the parking lot was full and there was a short line. I was truly amazed. ......I was seated quickly. My server was Taylor.

A note...this is a MAN's sports bar, 72 TV's, lots of beer, All of the servers are young hard bodies sexxy wenches. Taylor I must say was an outstanding waitress. I was expecting a dumbo BUT got someone just under a Einstein.
She was smart, quick and attentive. Actually one of the better servers that I have encounter since writing my reviews.

Now the food. I did a bit of research and decided on the pot roast.

I was again dumbfounded.  This was delish. There was potatoes & carrots. ....Green beans with a crunch,cooked with some bacon on the side. The beef was  fork tender. Melted in your mouth. Except for my Mom and my own recipe very good stuff.
The place was very noisy with older rock'n roll music and folks trying to talk above it.
But over all a good experience and good food.
