Bam German Bakery

Bam German Bakery, Se 47th St, Cape Coral, FL., A grumbling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chatter.
The food. I got a coffee, roll, and a ham & cheese omelette. Coffee hot and good tasting. You have a choice of 6-7 bread items. I got a roll. EHHH. Hard, no flavor. At these prices it should be fresh out of the oven or at least steamed. It was not. Ham and cheese omelette. Nope. This maybe a european style but it was wrong. The cheese was a bit stringy, a lot of cheese... but no flavor. Ham is not folded inside the eggs but mix with the eggs. also not enough ham.
Note: They used chives or green onion as a bit of decoration on the plate.A bad idea.
I ask for some hot sauce. .. I got Texas Pete Hot sauce!?  This is one of the cheapest most vinegary sauce around. Germany has no hot sauce???
Chatter; Service was very good. They are an excellent bakery with a good choices.
They specialize in german cuisine and such.  So maybe it was my fault in picking this place this time.

OBSERVATION... I heard ,at a table of three,  german, being spoken. Why the heck would you go to a foreign country and eat food that you get at home. DUHHH!

anyway BUT bad prepared and dry food is always wrong.

Nestor's Restaurant

Nestor's Restaurant, Hancock Bridge Pkwy, N. Fort Myers., FL. A growling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chit chat.
The food. Great old fashion food. Soup... a taste on the tongue, fabulous, lobster bisque. WOW... I could have ate a bowl not just the cup. Rolls fresh hot rolls...the way it use to be done at... ALL restaurants in the day. real butter no fake stuff. A special that is hardly ever found any more..Hungarian Goulash. a special of the day not found to often.  Cubes of tender beef that melts in the mouth. A sauce that is ladle on a bed of just al dente egg noodles. OOOh so good stuff
Just right for the carnivore inside all of us... The perfect meal to end the week.
My server was experience and done the task so well.
A place you might be inclined to drive by because of all the cars all time. Fear not. Do so drop in!!!

South Cape Diner

South Cape Diner, Cape Coral Pkwy., Cape Coral, FL., A grumbling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food, chit chat.
The food. Lean Reuben sandwich, cole slaw, and sweet tea.
If you love just basic american style food this is one of the places. Reuben: corn beef, rye, swiss cheese and thousand island dressing. The 2 slices of rye was separated by about 1 1/2 inches of meat goodness. I added a touch of mustard and I am in carnivore heaven. Cole slaw  crisp and tasty.
Service was excellent,
But... My 2 cents. It was advertised a LEAN reuben...And for all of you calories counters ok. I like my reuben with FAT. That is the REAL DEAL.. As tradition goes and the original servings are you NEED that stuff.  You only live once ,so have a smile on the face :-)  , EAT MORE FAT...

Lazy Flamingo

Lazy Flamingo, McGregor Blvd., Fort Myers, FL., A growling in my tummy and 2 cents on the food + chit chat. The Food. I order fish and chips ( substituted with onion rings) Very clear in a state that serves mainly SEAFOOD.
I got a fish sandwich. Server said she has been here 5 years and this is what fish and chips means. I ask in what universe does this mean??? She related that she is from up state New York????? Plus that she has never heard of blacken fish before????   FOOD.
It sucked. It was a supposedly fresh grouper. $13.99... It tasted like an oversized frozen fish pattie that is from Mcdee's.( I like the filet at McDees. McDees fish is better) It was not piping hot on the inside as it usually comes. The onion ring half ass cooked flavorless. Cole slaw too small flavor ehh.
Sweet Tea.   NOPE. I had to add sugar.
I was here at 1115 AM on a thursday. Service was fine . BUT the worst seafood meal I have had in 5 years.
as the crow sings NEVER MORE!!!!

Monkey Bar Steakhouse

Monkey Bar Steakhouse, Lafayette Ave., Cape Coral, FL. A growling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chatter.
The Food. I must say the chef was on fire.WOW,OBA,OBA. I had the prime rib, veggies, and smash garlic potatoes. The prime rib was excellent. A great medium rare with a encrusted rosemary/thyme. Tender to use a fork. Just enough fat for flavor and the carnivore inside me. The veggie were flavored enough so no extra seasoning was needed. The garlic mash potato was just pungent enough for garlic connoisseur.
The service was quick and top notched.
I must return.

The Olive Garden

The Olive Garden, Pine Island Rd., Cape Coral, FL, A grumble in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chatter, Lets start with chit chat, good stuff. ...The staff was all outstanding and just wonderful.

The food. I had minestrone soup, bread sticks, and lasagna. Soup tasted good because it is over salted. Bread ,hot fresh good and salty. Lasagna, a step above the frozen style  of Stouffer, fall apart noodles NOT al dente as it should be, and salt. SALT is only good on popcorn and french fries. Plus in limited amounts when you cook NOT the main ingredient of spices. FOLKS be advised ALL salt is sea salt. It ALL came from the sea. EVEN your table salt. Including black salt or pink salt.SEA's
Another eatery that has a computer at the table. TERRIBLE!
Mindless folks with mindless jobs and mindless life. You can come here and never have a conversation with a live human being. You come, use a machine to facilitate your order, call a living droid that brings the mediocre food stuff, Never complain or praise the chef, Never care or inquire of the serving droid life. Just call for stuff , pay your bill, never leave a tip or give a poor tip, ...why just an invisible thing... like  during slavery days, pretend that the people were just furniture .
No conversation, because you have a computer toy at the table or yakking on a phone. No magazine or paper to discuss the outside world. If it is a family let the kids raise themselves watching those witches kardashia. Or other reality crazy thing .

Saul my server did a excellent job.
