50 Best American Restaurants in Cape Coral

“Met friends there this week. Malakai was our server. Had a great time. He was totally informative and a lot of fun. The food was delicious. Will be back. Sat outside. Very nice.“

“Had a great experience at Ford Garage Cape Coral. Hadn't been there in awhile and with season behind us I decided to taken advantage and stopped in. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately, atmosphere casual and fun. The service was excellent. Our server, Layla, was friendly greeting us with a smile. She was sweet and made sure all our needs were met. I would highly recommend Ford's Garage.“

“This review is long overdue. • My friends put together a going away party for me at the Duffy's location on CC Pkwy on the evening of Friday January 28,2022. • I wanted to give a HUGE shout-out to our server, Britney B for single-handedly taking care of our food and beverage needs for three solid hours! She was extremely effecient, friendly, and professional. • As we all know with a group of this size, this can rarely be accomplished in an effortless manner as she demonstrated during that time! • Additionally, thank you to management for allowing us ALL to sit together by placing us is the front private space up front. We all appreciated your hospitality on short notice! • Again, thank you Britney B, management and staff for accommodating us and sending me off to AZ in style. • Much appreciated! • I highly recommend this establishment!“

“This steakhouse rates right up there with Ruth's Chris. our meal was delicious and our Waitress was the best!“

“Nice place. Our waitress was very attentive, kept our ice tea full and remembered to keep plenty of Splena on the table. I ordered the Seafood Cobb Salad. I am a Cobb Salad fan and order one where ever I go. This one was huge and I mean a 12” plate piled on. All of the individual components were plentiful 5 grilled shrimp on top, tons of cherry tomatoes, a half a pig of bacon, bleu cheese, onions, and the rest were stacked high. Only thing that would have made it better would be chopped greens. I had to get a “kitty bag” for later. Desert was their Banana Bread Pudding with toasted bananas. Again huge could have shared it with 3. Wife ordered Crème Brûlée which she wouldn’t share. Only bump was wife’s entre, Dolphin fish came out topped with tomatoes which she is deathly allergic (not mentioned on the menu) but not to worry, they made her another lickety split. Two entrées, appetizer, ice tea, desert and nice tip came to just under $100 about average for a decent Cape Coral restaurant. Big smiles on this one.????“

“Best bartenders I’ve ever had. I am a raven fan!!!! They work together so good and always happy. I give 10 stars!!!!“

“#1 go to mom and pop for breakfast and lunch. Coziest family restaurant in The Cape!“

“Ordered burgers for takeout, first time ordering. Kinda messy, very tasty, the way I like em. Fries were good but maybe older grease? Had a little aftertaste. We don’t dine out often but will be back for take out.“

“My partner and I had a huge delicious breakfast at Annie's. Very fresh and very delicious! Service is fantastic! If you are in the Cape Coral area, please include a stop at Annie's.“

“Unbelievable service and value. We are down here from Ohio and have dined here twice this week. Met the owner (fellow buckeye) and wish him and the entire staff all the best!“

“the most authentic, genuine and family feel environment! so much fun! staff is incredible food is always 10/10 and the experience is always one to remember!!“

“My visit to this local neighborhood Applebee’s was great from start to finish. From the friendly hostess to our wonderful server, “Frosty,” everything was handled well. Our drinks and food came out quickly, and we never felt forgotten or overlooked like you sometimes do at busy restaurants. Overall, it was a great visit and definitely worth praising.

Thanks again!“

“An excellent spot, full of creative and delicious treats made with love. Simply magnificent“

“I ordered through the drive thru. I ordered cashew chicken salad with CRISPY chicken but received grilled chicken. I also ordered a chocolate malt but didn’t get it. I’m very disappointed with Culver’s“

“One of our absolute favorite places to eat and drink!“

“Ethan was a wonderful waiter and so friendly. The food was delicious 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Just a great place and food was outstanding!“

“Food is excellent, service also. Enjoy going there. Did I mention reasonable.“

“Everything was great, even though they were in a restoration project because of the damage done during the last hurricane. My only suggestion would be to have trash cans placed in the bathrooms. I am conscientious and would not place personal hygiene items & facial tissues in the toilet, but other guests possibly would not be that considerate, thus, could cause plumbing problems.“

“Best Fast Food! Only fast food we eat.“

“CLEAN ROOMS, Fun Bar, warm pool. Enjoyed my 5 day stay.Would stay here again~“

“We had the best waitress since we arrived in Cape Coral. Her name is Delanie. She was very attentive. Bubbly personality. Stayed on top of service. I would highly recommend.“

“Had a great time at Fathoms! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the live music made for a perfect evening. Shayla, our bartender, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food and great drinks! Bar service A++++..Go Bills!“

“absolutely! the best mofongo I've ever had. better than my grannies and better than anything I've had on the island“

“We recently celebrated our wedding at CAPE CABARET we definitely give them a five star. The food was delicious and brought out in a timely manner. The waitresses were spot on with service. The price was very fair. Both managers were very attentive and genuinely wanted it to be very special for us. We highly recommend them.“

“My guest ordered liver & onions it was burnt. They should have never brought it to the table. The server said she told the manager and she never did come and apologize.“

“This is the 3rd or maybe 4th time I have visited this location and had to wait over 1/2 hr for my food. Last time I walked out the time before that I waited 1 hr to be seated and and additional hr to get my food. It is as shame they take care of the take out orders first. The only good thing about this place is their sever and cashier. Very pleasant and patient. Food has gone done hill as well. And before you make a smart remark. I have been going to this place for over 20 years and I am a cape coral resident.“

“Piper loves her once a week pup cup!!“

“Much has changed, like they gave up on the patio. I enjoyed the outdoor patio and live music but now there is little of it. The servers are nice to me and my dog. The menu is simply but good. The drink prices were reasonable and the beer is cold. Hope they get better.“

“I ordered Christmas dinner online a week before Christmas with a 23rd pick up. However when I went to pick it up they did not have my order. The manager Shane came and talked to me and he looked and could not find my order. So he took my order right there and filled it for me. I paid and he said if I got billed twice to come back and they would take care of it. They offered me something to drink while I waited. Shane and the staff were wonderful and helpful. When I got home I looked and I had not been billed twice. We have not eaten there before and we will be going to eat in. Thank you all for your help. Adding to my original post: Had their Christmas dinner for 4. It was Turkey which was so moist and tender. Loved the potato’s and the cranberry sauce was perfect. First time not cooking and it was so nice. Thank you for such good food.“

“Great spot for amazing food and music! We love that they support live music, always a fun time!“

“Great steak tacos! Great ceviche and great service! Will be back!“

“I always stop in at this location. Nice Staff and Great Atmosphere overall and the food is good also.“

“Being an Eagle member from another state, I know this location has a very open setting and is quite welcoming. Everyone was friendly, we got their before the live music, but the bartender was very helpful in letting us know everything that was happening in the time we were in town.“

“I love Ralphs! Bingo Tuesday. Great service, Christian is one of the best servers in Cape. Food, I've never had anything I didn't like. If you sit outside, it's a bit warm even with the fans, but it's summer in FL. Hidden gem if you ask me.“

“Happy Hour entertainment & drinks“

“Great service from Matthew this afternoon. 👏“

“Employee Louise is great every Wed. aft. around 4, expertly servicing a no. of our friends!“

“The staff, Brooke and Elyse are amazing! So attentive, kind and love their hustle!“

“food: 10/10 - my dad and i ordered the Grouper Sandwich and Philly Cheesteak (respectively), grouper was perfectly cooked and well seasoned! steak was also nicely seasoned and altogether was great! Creme Brulee was very good as well, nice and sweet but not too sweet.

service: 10/10 - everyone was so nice! staff treated us very nicely, and service was fast and food came hot always.

atmosphere: 9.5/10 - very clean! bathroom was very clean, and smelled fresh as well (thankfully lol) and the music choices were nice! crowds were a little loud at times but that's no problem for me.

summary: 10/10 would recommend! i think i'll be coming back soon. thank you, Burnt Store Tavern! :)“

“The food was pretty good. I ordered extra pickles and didnt get them. They charge for Buffalo sauce which is kinda weird. The person on the drive thru mic had a very soft voice. Im sure he was a nice kid but I couldn't hear him. Made ordering difficult. Need him to speak up or turn the volume on the speaker all the way up. Ice cream was good. I ordered diet coke with lite ice. It was lite for sure.... I got 4 pieces of ice in the cup. Maybe other locations are better...“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 5/5 stars! One of the best Philly cheesesteaks out there! The 520 sandwich is so good!!! Who knew a chicken finger in a Philly cheesesteak would be so good! The guy in the truck was very friendly. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a great meal!“

“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“

“Bloody Mary was awesome. Prime Rib Sandwich was on point! Great place!“

“This Waffle House by veterans is amazing and awesome.The staff is efficient and a hard working crew! It feels like home with them. From the moment you walk in and leave it is all SMILES!!
My parents are loyal customers here because they love the way they treat them and always willing to help them with the menu because of the language barrier.
Coffee and waffles are delicious!“

“Great service, even at busy times. Better than good for bar food“

“Was going to order from KFC before seeing the reviews… decided to try something new instead. Glad I did! Service was appropriate, kind, and prompt. Food was exactly what I ordered, hot, and pretty darn good. I got the turkey with dressing, green beans, and mashed potatoes with gravy (and buttermilk biscuits). I’m pregnant and picky, this was exactly what my baby ordered lol 😍
Only downside is you’ll need to lock your dog in another room cause they’ll want some too 😂😭“

“Was in Cape Coral about a month ago helping a friend with storm prep. He said Stevie Tomatoes was worth checking out and he wasn't kidding. The pizza and wings were great; The service and atmosphere were everything I could hope for. Plus, I got to meet John Melendez. He shows up negatively in a lot of reviews here. I don't get why; he seemed very friendly and well-mannered during our visit. My friend bought him a beer which he graciously accept, and we spent the next half-hour (give or take) talking about life in general. It was really cool to see this thoughtful, philosophical side of him. He was a very humble, self-aware an, completely at odds with what I expected. It was a great experience, as was everything else in my visit to Stevie Tomatoes. Highly recommended. I'll be back...and I can't wait for it!“
