KFC

KFC,Hancock Bridge , Cape Coral, FL.,My 2 cents on the food and chatter. Chit chat. I was feeling lazy, cheap and adventurous. I have been bombarded with the 5 buck meal. So since I never have had the pot pie I decided to give it a try .
Medium Pepsi, ( the true nectar of the goods ), no ice, a chocolate cookie and chicken pie. Plus be lazy like most Floridians. I took the drive thru... Gave my order , waited in line for only 5 minutes or less, swiped my card and home in 7 minutes or less.
Pepsi excellent, pie very good, large chunks of carrots , pieces of taters, chunks of white meat chicken. I am not a fan of white meat but it was fine. Nice gravy, but too wet as my wifey would state. Also a bit too salty for me. Not a big cookie but a decent cookie But hey 5 bucks to fill you up pretty good.
As I said serve was quick.

Time to Eat

Time to Eat, Del Prado Blvd., Cape Coral, FL., Ahh a grumbling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chatter. The food. This is Dining at its best. Grilled lamb chops, riced potato, and some veggies.
My wife told me I would hate the lamb chops...She was so wrong...Grilled lamb chops to a perfect medium rare, with a wonderful sauce. Potatoes done with a ricer, so smooth and tasty. Broccoli cooked to just tender. Lets not forget clarified butter and in house made hot & flaky crescent roll.
Service was outstanding.
This is DINING...not buy and fly meal time...If you wish for a true culinary meal you MUST come here!!
Though located in a strip mall,( what good place in the Coma , is not ) Come get your appetite fed.
You will not regret it.

Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday, Santa Barbara Ave., Cape Coral, FL, Here is my 2 cents and some chatter. I was lured here by a free appetizer and a salad bar. Even a devout carnivore needs a bit of greens once in a while. First my appetizer. Thai style spring rolls. This is NOT SPRING ROLLS. Spring rolls are in a rice wonton type roll. I will say it tasted just fine along with the sweet sauce. BUT SPRING ROLLS ARE NEVER FRIED...I chose spring because they are healthier, taste better and a better texture.
So whoever in the upper management decided on this item NEED to go to school or Thailand. Or maybe a local Thai restaurant and find the real deal.
The salad bar... I must say all the items were fresh and of good quality. I enjoyed the different dressing along with the many items...AHHH the pesto salad was good...but the small tomatoe needs to go...The other 2 salads just were plain nasty no flavor in one. The other was just like a bad mash potatoes.. flavorless.
Service was fine. The manager stop by... I told them of my concerns.

So if seeking a good salad bar this is the place.

Butch's Famous Burgers,Chili, and Dogs

Butch's Famous Burgers,Chili, and Dogs, Weavers Corner, N. Fort Myers, FL.,  My 2 cents on the food and chit chat. OBA OBA, another great and inexpensive eatery comes to N. FT. Myers. I believe 2 buck hotdogs and 4 or so burgers. Anyway the burger was outstanding I loved the crispy onion strings. Hot Dogs are also good to go.But the chili is an acquired taste. It is spicy but it has a cinnamon in it. It is cincinnati style . Not my flavor.
Folks are great.. It is only open as of this writing 11 AM to 3 PM. Longer hours soon to come.
So if you are sick of over price dogs and chain burgers give them a try.

Nomiki's Plakka Greek Restaurant

Nomiki's Plakka Greek Restaurant, McGregor Blvd., Ft. Myers,Fl., My 2 cents on the food and some chit chat. The Food. I order a greek salad of course with anchovies. I also tried what was called a Greek chow mein??? Never heard of it. I had it with pork. It had olives, cheese on top, tomatoes. It was fresh and good. I am a not big fan of greek food,but, I was a happy trooper. Service and prices were just right.

Pho 38

Pho 38, Del Prado Ave., N., Cape Coral, FL., A grumbling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and chatter.The food. This is a vietnamese soup joint. I got the beef and mushroom pho. Hot and delish !
I was able add hot serrano peppers, bean sprouts , lime and cilantro.  The table hot sauce is WONDERFUL !!! It had my eyeballs in tear and I sweated up a storm.
Chit chat... This is basically the same eatery as before . With a few same stuff, but also changes....
Healthy. Fresh. Filling.
If you are seeking  non process, made from scratch, good food You come here.
All broth is daily made with quality and fresh ingredients. BUT it is Vietnamese style. It can be VERY SPICY. They have dumbed it down for floridian taste buds.
You can choose tofu, meats, veggies and seafood.
In Vietnam they eat soup, breakfast to dinner.
OK.... Things I like and do not like.
When you enter , you choose the meal and then pay for it... They bring it to you. Drinks are self serve. I do not like this system. Plus the spring rolls and egg rolls, though very good. they are smaller now.
So if you need healthy chow once in a while come here.

Austrian-German Restaurant:

Austrian-German Restaurant, Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers, FL., A growling in my tummy, 2 cents on the food and some chatter. The food. My order of potato salad, (warm german style) was excellent. Pork Schnitzel, 2 large pieces fried and seasoned to perfection. For dessert apple strudel with whip cream. Lets not forget the meat dumpling soup, wonderful.
Now some chit chat... This eatery  is like a oasis in a otherwise boring strip mall. NO television, real cloth napkins plus indoor and outdoor tables. The background music is german . This is a dining experience ...NOT just dine and dash....Service is great. Plenty of parking.
PLUS  every 2nd Saturday, of the month through the entire year, dinner time, they offer a german buffet. Which I believe cost 25 bucks per person.
So stop in and give them a try.
