Gather

Gather, Silver King Blvd., Cape Coral, FL., Here is chatter. & my 2 cents on the food.
As of this posting,Gather has been open for two weeks. First, it is far from the main area of The Cape and hard to find/park.
Ah my server Kenna did a fantastic job even with her hands tied.
I thought this would be a outstanding place to have a birthday breakfast.
A Chef on duty and french.
Did not expect what I consider being a bit snobbish, have it their way or the highway.
Coffee...regular or bold. Bold, being strong...NOPE...the excuses is organic.It was fine coffee. Just VERY mild. For a creamer, (organic ?)they were providing Carnation, instead half/half or real milk.
I ask for the  breakfast special, requesting for my eggs to be cooked over easy.NOPE, only scrambled.
Ask for a waffle, and being a purist needed maple syrup. NOPE.

Alright being frustrated, I got a croissant( freshly baked in house this morning) with egg,cheese and a very mild pork patty sausage. With breakfast taters. They looked like tater tots.
Oh yes I love hot sauce. I was a sarachi fan 25 years ago before the masses found it..
But not in my ketchup and without telling me, yyeeech.
So hoping to have a nice birthday meal alas turned into a bad experience. I should have gone to Burger King and had it MY WAY.

Jason Deli

Jason Deli, Santa Barbara Blvd., Cape Coral, FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chit chat.
My entree. Muffalettas, made with ham.        This is a New Orleans creation. ...one muffuletta loaf, marinated olive salad, layers of mortadella, salami, mozzarella, ham, provolone. The muffuletta is both a type of round Sicilian sesame bread and a popular sandwich originating among Italian immigrants in New Orleans, Louisiana using the same bread.

This is a sad copy My muffalettas did not have all this. It seemed too just have my ham & marinated olive salad. The bun was warmed and toasted. It was lacking some zip.
I was also given a big handful of broken tater chips.
The price of this half of sandwich was about 11 bucks. I had a 5 dollar coupon for my birthday from Jason.... No entree is $5 or less so you would "ALWAYS " have to spend more money. ( umph, some birthday present.)
Anyway its ok. I would never buy this again from here.
Server was nice.

Bubba Roadhouse & Saloon

Bubba Roadhouse & Saloon, Pine Island Rd., Cape Coral,FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
The entree, 11 oz sirloin, side green beans , salad, & jalapeno corn muffins. Note this is NOT top sirloin. so less tender & thicker cut.
It was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Alas is was a bit tuff and chewy. Good flavor. The salad made at table side. Though the white onion was too pungent for this dish. I love jalapenos.HATE them in corn muffins. Green bean were healthy for you= meaning not thoroughly cooked thru.
Over all a fine meal. Though the prime rib is much better.
Noted... I signed up for the news letter so this meal was free for my birthday.(show e mail & ID )
I was advised that I could have ANYTHING up 12 bucks.
This is one of the few places that are generous and give a FULL meal. Not just a cheap dessert.
Bravo Bubba!!!!
Service was great.

Teriyaki Madness

Teriyaki Madness, Santa Barbara Ave, Cape Coral, FL, Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
The food. A beef bowl with noodle & veggies. Extra spicy...Of course never extra spicy... But they had a sriracha on the table. This is a good and filling meal. I took over half the bowl  home and dumped it on a dinner plate. It filled the plate. A  good sign you get your money worth.
A modern chain for modern taste buds. One of the very few chain eateries I support.
Food is made to order...Staff was great.
One chain I will back to...Having a coupon helps

Tropical Point

Tropical Point, Fowler St., Ft. Myers, FL. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
This is a Brasilian style hamburgers. So not your ordinary burgers. I got a Brasilian sausage burger.
This is a beef patty, egg, brasilian sausage ,lettuce tomatoe etc. on a big bun. Served with what they call potato sticks. Just thin fries.
You need two hands to eat. Mine though different from what I am use to, it was very good. I also got a tropical smoothie. WOW brain freeze. Service can be slow. They do not make it until you order it.
The do deliver. Over all very good.

European American Bakery Cafe

European American Bakery Cafe, Metro Parkway, Ft. Myers,FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
My choice was pick a pair. I picked french onion soup and a french dip sandwich. I was a big DIP in picking this eatery.
WOW what a disappointment. Lets start small the pickle. It was barely  a pickle and more just a cucumber dipped in a brine. yyeecch.
The soup . A big blob of cheese, a large slice of bread at the bottom, lots of  onions, and so salty I could have used it for a salt lick.
The french dip sandwich. It was my mistake, I did not read how they bastardize the sandwich. But after reading the supposing ingredient it was still WRONG.
I took the sandwich home. It was on a 2.5 inch bun. Yes I measured item. There was a bit of lettuce, bit of onions, bit of bell peppers, a slim slice of tomato. barely any slice beef.
This so called sandwich was 6 bucks, soup $5.20, 12 bucks for both.
Then 3 dollars for coffee, in a small cup so you need to keep asking for a refills. PLUS diet sweetener, brown sugar, AND a attitude when I ask for real white sugar.

Jonesez BBQ

Jonesez BBQ, Metro Parkway/Crystal Drive, FT.,Myers,FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I have heard good things of this BBQ. I was driving down Metro and there it was. Pulled in I got a plate of their version of spicy sauce spare ribs, green beans and Cole slaw.
BOOM It may not be as hot as I prefer, but this a a real man meal. Spicy spare ribs, saucy a little fat for marbling. The green beans mmmm good. Cole slaw so tasty.
This was a man meal and carnivore delight.
If you dare give them a try...
