Athenian Restaurant

Athenian Restaurant, Tamiami Trail, N. Fort Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food, a rant & rave a bit of chatter.
The Food. 9 bucks for a full ole fashion meal. In this case if you are german descent. Pork ribs with sauerkraut, mashed taters/gravy, house made coleslaw and housemade chicken noodle soup.
Almost like mother use to make. It may not tickle your taste buds, BUT more than you needed it fills your belly without emptying your wallet. ( plus many other entrees at this price )
Soup was good.
Rave... Good chow without breaking the  bank.
Rant...Too bad other places do not do this.
Service was great... Makes you feel like you are at a home..

House of Omeletes

House of Omelets, Pine Island Rd., Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food, a rant & rave and chit chat.
The food. A hamburger with a side  vegetable beef soup. The soup. House made and just wonderful. Plenty of beef and lots of flavor. I wish it was a cold day to have a big bowl... Hamburger with basic drag thru the garden stuff cooked to a perfect medium rare. Which makes it tasty, juicy and very messy.
Rave... Excellent side dish besides french fries.
Rant... I hate the ciabatta buns they use now for burgers, I prefer the ole fashion buns.
Chatter. Outstanding, staff are very quick and so efficient. Always a joy to come here.

Slates

Slates, Candia Ave, Cape Coral,Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food, rant & rave plus chatter. The food.
Today brunch item. 8 oz. ribeye, with 2 eggs, a salsa on top and house potatoe. Cooked medium rare of course. A carnivore delight prepared to specifications. To be honest I prefer the traditional way. of just the steak alone. But this was very good. I had a cocktail called a Pimm, delightful.
And of course the very unique  New Orleans beignet . Served hot and so sweet. It came with some type of I believe raspberry sauce . I hated this too sour.
Rave... Always wonderful and exquisite  food.
Rant...Not able to afford to eat here more often.
Service was outstanding. Plus a New Orlean band playing in the background.

Jamaican Sunrise

Jamaica Sunrise  / WC Grocery Store, Pondella Rd., North Fort Myers, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food, a rant and a rave plus chatter.

The Food. OBA OBA...The oxtails were melt in the mouth and so tasty, peas and rice delish. Just like in Montego Bay. The jerk chicken to die for with a oh so spicy hot sauce with such robust flavor on the side.

Curry goat and ribs to name a few more. Buy the pound or in a small/large meals.  For dessert sweet potato pudding pie. Lip smacking good.

Chatter...Service was fine. A hole in wall place situated in a tiny grocery store. Lots of parking.

Rave...A stomach too small, unable to eat more !!!

Rant... I had to find this in a advertisement.
