ShoelessJoes

Shoeless Joes,Bell Tower Dr., Ft. Myers, FL., A growling in my tummy and some chit chat.. I finally got around to this place. The food. Shrimp scampi and fish and chips. Fish and chips, A very good size filets , chips are americanize, Not crazy about tartare sauce...but over all a step above sports bar food.. Shrimp scampi... nice size shrimp seems fresh good flavor. Could use more garlic ....over all just fine food for a sports bar
I had a newby for a server but she did just fine. So service was good.

Flat Top Larry's

Flat Top Larry's, First st., Fort Myers, FL. A growling in my tummy and some chit chat.
The Food. We got the signature Red Velvet Waffle and the Cheese Burger with pineapple coleslaw.
Waffle... It was excellent. Cooked to perfection. Plus the whipped cream on top was creamy and flavorful.
The cheeseburger. On the menu it had a listing of what was in the sauce. I was scared to try this item.
BUT...OMG .... it had a tiny bit of spice. ( Love hot spices but not on my burger) But the combination of all the ingredients...made a party in my taste buds. The bun was fresh and soft, burger cooked to a excellent medium rare, along with the cheese and bacon... So good. This has to be one of best burgers I have had in the area. Lets not forget the pineapple cole slaw. A touch of sweet a touch of salt wonderful.
Service was great. You must go either for lunch or breakfast

Golden Corral

Golden Coral, Andalusia Ave., Cape Coral, FL., A growling in my tummy and 2 cents on the food plus chatter. This is a buffet that you either love or hate. Just like politics. You got veggies for the weirdo veg heads, meats for the carnivores and desserts for the sweet tooth junkies. Breakfast, lunch and supper deciding on your slant of the moment. You are sure to find the  meal that makes you happy. For me it was green beans , bacon, fried shrimp, baked fish a green salad, fried chicken, chocolate pudding, cheese cake, mash potatoes plus beef gravy, carrot cake, scramble eggs french toast to name a few.
It is always best to get here early things are fresh and hot .Plenty of choices servers not tire from being brow beaten from moronic public folks.
I get here early and I have been served very well food is great.
So come get bacon and eggs or a salad with green bean cooked with bacon and onions.

Los Panes Bakery

Los Panes Bakery, Del Prado Blvd., S., Cape Coral, FL., A growling in my tummy and some chatter.
FOOD. This is a Columbia bakery and eatery. I have never had any columbia fare ever.. So I picked out  2 empanada, a loaf of cheese bread, a semi sweet cherry pastry and a entree of beef,pork and chicken on top of fried plantains. (Patacon De Carne Y Pollo)
The cheese bread, a large loaf of bread ,very moist and cheesy, to be eaten with hot cocoa or coffee. It was very good. The beef/potato empanada not so bad. The cherry pastry was light fluffy and not too sweet. I wished it was more sweeter.
Patacon De Carne Y Pollo, was a fried mixture of 3 meats on top of fried plantains. A dipping sauce that sorta looks like 1000 dressing but is not was provided.
I loved the cheese bread and cherry pastry. The Patacon De Carne Y Pollo. I am up in the air. It was good. But I like my food strong and robust. This was not for me. I am positive it will meet the needs of the typical floridian carnivore.
They have been here for 10 years so they must be doing something right   <a href="https://www.zomato.com/fort-myers/los-panes-bakery-cape-coral" title="View Menu, Reviews, Photos & Information about Los Panes Bakery, Cape Coral and other Restaurants in Fort Myers" target="_blank"><img alt="Los Panes Bakery Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato" src="https://www.zomato.com/logo/17362748/biglogo" style="border:none;width:104px;height:34px;padding:0px;" /></a>

Prices fair service was good.

Hart and Soul Cafe

The Hart and Soul Cafe, Del Prado Ave, S., Cape Carol, FL, Here s my 2 cents on the food and some chit chat.. The food. The good ,was great coffee locally roasted and eggs perfectly over easy.
Ahh my waffle . It was was a bit under cooked. Not brown enough. The potatos and the bacon way overcooked. Bacon to the point of burnt . The taters same issue. I was a unhappy trooper.
Tip: I got here at 1045 AM. No lunch is served until 1130 AM.  I was disappointed.
Service was fine place very clean.
Parking is horrendous. Until 1100 AM... A gym is nearby
I would definitely give it another try.

Thirsty's

Thirsty's,Vincennes St., Cape Coral, FL. A growling in my tummy and some chatter. FOOD.

OBA OBA!!!! I found good fried chicken + steak fries. OBA OBA ! At a reasonable price.

Beside a chain I have now fried chicken at a local restaurant. . Crispy on outside and moist inside. Plus meaty steak fries the kind a real MAN  eats.Not thin wimpy stuff from mcdee's. Along with very good cole slaw. Plus a serving of clam chowder.

(Note: they switch week to week from Manhattan Chowder to regular chowder. So call ahead....)

An  excellent server, Tina. 

Oh yeah lets not forgot REAL in house cooked chocolate pudding.

Olde Fish House Marina

Olde Fish House Marina, Matlacha, Fl. A growling in my tummy and some chatter.
FOOD... Oh my the food was great. I started with a housemade sweet tea. Just enough sugar. Then a cup of Manhattan Clam Chowder. Tomatoe based loaded with clams and potatoe. Seasoned properly no salt needed. Fried to perfection onion rings. With good old fashion in house cole slaw. Then never had before hogfish. Cooked creole blacken style. It could have been a bit more spicy but we are in florida. It was blacken on the outside and moist on the inside. Very flavorful. Service was excellent.

This is located on the water. If you desire fish for later on there is a seafood place on premise.
One of my best meals in recent history.
