“My husband and I just enjoyed dinner there this past Saturday and my goodness!!!.. we were not only blown away by the food, wine and dessert; but the service Kelci provided! The Mullett 3 ways appetizer was incredible. The coconut encrusted mahi with pina colada rice (and don’t even get me started on the crispy scallions!) was DEVINE. To finish off with the PERFECT key lime pie was just…well, perfect! We love Blue Dog, can’t recommend enough and can’t wait to go back and truly ask for Kelci; so on it, so sweet, no rushing, helpful etc. everything positive!“

“🍤🍔 Burnt Store Tavern – Cape Coral, FL
★★★★★ (Would give 6 stars if Google allowed it for “Beer Colder Than a witch’s Tit”)
Walked into Burnt Store Tavern expecting the usual Florida strip-mall vibes and left wondering if I’d accidentally stumbled into a Michelin-starred speakeasy disguised as a neighborhood bar.
Our server Casey deserves her own statue outside. Picture this: four hangry adults, zero patience, menus longer than a CVS receipt. Casey swoops in like a superhero whose cape is made of napkins and unlimited refills. She memorized our chaotic order faster than I can remember my own Wi-Fi password. No “I’ll check with the kitchen,” no up-selling dessert before apps—just pure, unfiltered competence wrapped in a smile that could melt butter. 10/10, would let her babysit my kids, dog, and tax documents.
The kitchen? Pure Sorcery. My grouper sandwich arrived so perfectly cooked I half-expected it to wink at me. Flaky, juicy, zero “fishy” crimes committed. The burgers were medium-well masterpieces—juicier than gossip at a PTA meeting. And the wings? Crispy outside, tender inside, sauced so expertly I considered proposing to the chef mid-bite. Beer? Served at a temperature that should be illegal in Florida. I’m convinced they keep hops in the witness-protection program inside a glacier.
If you leave Burnt Store Tavern anything less than stuffed, happy, and plotting your return trip, you’re doing life wrong. Tell Casey we sent you—she’ll probably remember our order from 2025 anyway.
P.S. Bathroom was clean, parking was easy, and zero alligators tried to eat me. Florida five stars! 🐊✅“

“A nice location that I visited while visiting the gulf coast. Food was decent, drinks were cold, and overall a pleasurable experience. Visited by boat and had plenty of dock space. Walked up to bar area where we ordered drinks and started tab and walked up to a table to sit for lunch. While we got out food, ended up walking up to bar for another drink. While this part falls on me, did not pay close attention to the bill and realized they tagged on a service fee, which was essentially the tip. I generously tipped on the total balance, not realizing tip was included. Once back at home, attempted to contact the location and never heard back. While it clearly falls on me, think it is crappy when locations tag on service fees for small groups. Mix in a few cocktails, and pretty sure I'm not the only person who fell for this. Don't mind paying island pricing, however the added service charge is annoying especially when you are pretty much expected to walk up to bar and order your drinks. guess the servers had a good tip day. would probably go back, but would be more attentive to the tip surcharge.“

“Recently had a marriage celebration catered by Paradise deli! Food was absolutely superb! They went above and beyond with creative dishes and sauces! Highly recommend“

“UI have been to bubbas twice. 1 month ago and just last Thursday. The first time it was great. Had the prime rib special. Everything was terrific. Told everyone that they should try it. Last Thursday I took my wife there and it was to horrible. Prime rib was stringy as all hell with a ton of fat all around. Service was fair at best. Worst prime I have ever had. Bitter after taste and just lousy. I will go back again to try something else but not the prime rib special“

“Love Mango’s and all their people! Captiva Sunrise & Silver King Margaritas are too delicious!“

“Drove from Venice to Placida and it was 100% worth it for Smokin Jerry’s Tiki Bar and Grill and of course the wonderful sunset 🌅 The food was excellent all around, but let’s talk about the wings. I’m from Buffalo — so I’m legally required to judge wings at a higher level. 😆 And I’ll say this… they passed the test. Crispy, flavorful, cooked right. No sauce soup, no soggy nonsense. Legit. Might have a new wing spot . Those smoked wings are fire 🔥 Josh was our waiter and he absolutely crushed it. Attentive without hovering, refills magically appeared before we even had to ask, and he kept the whole experience smooth and fun. The guy runs his section like a pro. Great tiki vibe, great service, great food. We’ll definitely make that drive again — Ask for Josh. He’s the real deal. 🔥 #GoBills #BillsMafia“

“We loved South beach Grille. The food was great. The pasta is sneaky good and I had USDA Choice Cheeseburger that we was fantastic. The view is outstanding as the only restaurant on Boca Grande on the beach. great atmosphere for beach dining.“
