Stevies Tomatoes Sports Page

Stevies Tomatoes Sports Page, Pine Island Rd., Cape Coral, Fl., Here Is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.

I was in the mood for something different.Stevies was promoting their Chicago style pie. So I gambled to try it. I LOST.
Folks were nice but it took longer than usual for a pizza pie. 45-60 minutes.

It was a heavy pie and the cheese slid while I carried it.

I sliced into it took a big bite....It was the worst ever....A 1 1/2 inch thick crust 1/2 inch of very plain tasting cheese. Hardly any sauce to be tasted or seen...Just plain nasty for me. I tried other areas of the pie...No luck just as bad.

I threw it to the birds in my front yard...it took 3 days to be gone.

Never more of this pie.

Redfish Point

Redfish Point Garden and Bar, Lafayette st., Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.

I went here to try the paella... I have never had this dish any where.

So I was quickly seated...I browsed the menu...I got my drink a lemonade.
I order the dish...A little pricey because its all seafood.
It had shrimp of course,mussels, chorizo etc. on a bed of rice.

I will rave about the so fresh seafood, the mussels melted in my mouth, and shrimp so tender. It all was wonderful.

My rant because we are in unsophisticated florida where folks have mediocre and unflavored
taste buds...the chorizo was very very mild no heat at all.

But that being said the dish was outstanding...
Me being a ole fogie now ....I needed to take it some home for a 2nd meal...I tried it later at room temperature it did not stand up for traveling.

But over all this is a wonderful place to go..

McCarters BBQ

McCarters BBQ, Dr. MLK Jr. Blvd, Ft. Myers,Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.

As far as bbq goes this is the best place you never heard of.
For a slab of pork ribs...$25.00 including tax. All prices include tax. There is no sides, no advertising, no drinks, no credit cards, pics are frowned upon.

Just backyard good tasting food. 3 parking spaces at the corner of Dr. MLK jr. Blvd/Cranford Ave.

TIP.  Use 2000 Cranford Ave as the address...Dr. MLK Jr, Blvd is too long...The BBQ is across the street on the corner.

Flemings Prime Steakhouse.

Flemings Prime Steakhouse, Tamiami Trail, Naples, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.

I go here on holidays such as fathers day. Because they open early at 1000 hrs.

This is fine dining at the best...But you pay to be fawned over.
The food is excellent along with the service.

I got a Cesare  salad, creamed spinach and the 36 ounce tomahawk steak , medium rare naturally.
Each portion was brought in a timely matter. Plus my drink, a lemonade was replaced when it got to half empty.

It was a hour and half restful and tasty meal. Plus plenty to take home.

So for a wonderful meal though pricey come here.

My server Seairre was beyond outstanding.

El Azteca Taqueria

El Azteca Taqueria, Del Prado Ave., Cape Coral, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
Well the service was fine the folks were nice.....BUT this time food not so good.
I tried the Huaraches, the chile relleno and enchilada.

First the enchiladas.....I know the difference between carne and pollo...
I NEVER ORDER POLLO-chicken out at restaurants... I am a beef guy.
When I opened I got dried white chicken breast ... I hated it.

The chile relleno was over drench with a sauce, rice was ok, the beans was way too soupy.

I never had huaraches. I did not know what to expect.. Just that I was not thrilled with it.

The food this time seemed to lack flavor and was mediocre just like floridians.
It will be a while before I try this again.

Metro Diner

Metro Diner, Cape Coral Pkwy, E., Cape Coral, Fl. Here my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
My wifey and I decided to have some American comfort food.
So since she has never been here we checked it out.

We shared a appetizer of crab cakes. $6...I was really suprized they fell apart because they were made of lots of crab...very little filling...WOW. Very tasty.

I order the pot roast 12 bucks...A dinner roll, mash taters,carrots with celery. 2 slices of beef.
The beef did not fall apart as others I have tried. Maybe due to early time of day. Plus was not seasoned as well with ie. onions/garlic...A nice sized portion though. ( see pics)
My wife got meatloaf with a roll, grilled zucchini, mash taters and gravy. $12 ( see pic).
I was taken aback when she said it was drier than expected. She  likes things on the dry side. But as far as taste she was able to scoff it all down without giving me a bite. LOL!

Our service was excellent. I will be back.
Note: WiFi is free here and very good.

Keke Breakfast Cafe

Keke Breakfast Cafe, Pine Island Rd., Cape Coral Fl. Here is some chatter and 2 cents on the food.
A big observation on this eatery is the customer service. All the staff is extremely nice. They seem to go out of their way to make sure your stay is very welcoming. Not that this is wrong. It is a bit over the top compare to other restaurants I have been to.

Now the important part the food. I got a waffle,ham steak and over easy eggs. Also some country fried taters.
This food is of very high quality and good portions. It is well prepared. Though more expensive compared to other chains and eateries.

BUT...take note of reading the menu and listening to your server...On a combo plate they offer 1/2 slice ham steak but will up charge you to a full ham steak if not careful. Plus they will offer and charge EXTRA for organic pure Maple syrup for your pancakes or waffle. I personally cannot taste the different, Though at home I buy and use pure Vermont syrup from Coscto.

One other nice but quirky thing is giving my eggs & ham on a long rextangle plate instead of a round or typical plate...( see photograph)

As stated service was stellar.
