Restaurants in Fort Myers Beach

“We didn’t know what to expect as the web picture was the old building pre hurricane destruction. Mom is running her business out of food truck. Never had better biscuits ever in my life. Food was awesome as was the service and hospitality. Awesome food and will definitely be back. Hope they can rebuild soon.”

“Always good food good service and brownie dessert rocks”

“Fun atmosphere and great vibes”

“Das bestellte Essen hat uns geschmeckt und wir kommen ganz bestimmt wieder.”

“Food was great! Service was friendly”

“ROB was the best bartender! When we asked how long he'd been working at Dixie Fish, he told us her was new to the bar. He was Great!!”

“Love this place always!!! Our stop on the way to the beach and never disappoints🤍🤍”

“Our favorite did NOT disappoint! For the first time we skipped the oysters for the bacon wrapped shrimp- we ate it so fast I didn’t get a pic…. Delicious, great bacon and even better shrimp! Next up was Cajun shrimp scallop pasta! Oh man- best we have ever had. Smooth cajun cream sauce over ample grilled shrimp and scallops and linguine. Yum!! Had the drink of the day- blackberry mule- perfection. Thanks SOBs for another fabulous evening!!”

“We went out on the 2hr tour. And it was EXCELLENT. We saw a dolphin right at the start of the cruise. Then, we went into a channel, and saw a few more dolphins, as well as several manatees. On our way back, we saw a few more Dolphins. The crew was so great. Thanks Dave, and Tracey.”

“We had a delicious lunch, and everything was fresh and tasty. Later, there was a glitch with the beachside service, Jakanson stepped in and made it right. He was attentive, professional, and handled the situation with care. Great supervisor, we really appreciated him!”

“I am visiting here and our landlord recommended Wicked Wasabi to us today. My Veggie Roll was crunchy and delicious and Sam substituted tamari at my request for soy sauce due to my gluten sensitivity. He was also willing to customize my meal if I needed changes. My husband's Black Garlic Kono Wagyu Udon was "totemo oishii"!! Very tasty! Alexa (? or was it Alex, sorry) was friendly, fun, professional and very helpful. Because there are already several of the planned food vendors open, I also was able to have a freshly made smoothie for dessert. I highly recommend them!!”

“Love this place! Ben at the bar is awesome😎”

“I'm a local and recently spent a fabulous staycation weekend at The Pink Shell with my daughter for her birthday. The resort is fabulous. Excellent service, beautiful rooms, awesome amenities. We dined at Bongos and Jon made our weekend even more special with his fantastic service at the bar. He's the best bartender on FMB! We love Bongos at the Pink Shell and can't wait to return.”

“Everything, it would be nice to see a BLT and a club sandwich on the menu, even half of sandwich people who can't eat too much like me”

“Best & at Times Square FMB! 5*****”

“Cheers Bar ! This is a fantastic spot to stop at on the way on or off the beach .”

“Amazing every time ! I do both take out and dine in never been disappointed. Best Gyro ever !”

“I was there with 3 friends on 9/10/22. One of the best meals ever! Our server, Antonio, was wonderful. He took great care of us, made us laugh, and made us feel so welcome. Beautiful setting with the best view of the beach. Wish I could eat there every night, and have Antonio serve us. Grade A”

“Went out with a friend to enjoy lunch on the water. The food and the staff were just absolutely amazing.”

“Food is homemade and delicious. Cheaper for me to feed the family then the supermarket A lifesaver close by. Thank you Sunflower Cafe see you again tonight for dinner”

“Great food and Great service from Kelly!!! I will definitely be going there more often. I had chicken kabobs and my son had sword fish. 👍”

“We are “15 year Bonita Bill” people. This was our first return after new ownership and rebuild. IT WAS FABULOUS! Yes, we’ll always have wonderful memories of the place of old but they resurrected this one right. Ethen is the best server we’ve ever had in this area. Jennifer delivers food with timely care and finesse. Bobby Blakey offers talented waterside music with a something for everyone. Management was on top of it! We’ll return more frequently for GREAT FOOD, Ethen’s service, attentive management and staff and an unforgettable time.”

“We had a fantastic Sunday with our feet in the sand, enjoying a great live band. The vibe was perfect, there was a wide selection of cocktails, ice-cold beer, and the food was reasonably priced. We absolutely loved the place!”

“My two kids and I had the best experience eating here today. The food was delicious, clean and good quality. The owner was very nice and cultural. The kids enjoyed learning and tasting sandwiches from different countries. Definitely come back whenever we can.”

“we buy 20 lbs bags couple times a year. it's the best!!”

“Caleb was definitely on top of servicing the pool lounge area! I can’t attest to the food since we just ordered poolside cocktails. It was very crowded but still found a couple of lounges. Caleb promptly served our cocktails and made his rounds checking on us and keeping us hydrated :) Thanks Caleb!”

“The food was great, service was friendly and fast considering the large amount of customers, and the price was very fair. Looking forward to going back and trying different menu items and will be sure to pass the word.”

“Awesome spot to grab coffee at the beach. The owner was welcoming and friendly and gave us a free brownie just because we had to wait a minute for our drinks. Lunch options look great too! Highly recommend.”

“Love this place. Great location. Can't wait for the building to be open”

“Love love loved it all...can't wait till your reopening!!! ;) keep us posted please!”

“The lady who runs the truck is so kind, and the food is amazing. This was my first time having a pupusa and it was a great experience! Definitely try to bring cash if you can though, there are days when the card machine isn’t working properly. But theres wayyy more pros to eating here. Worth every dime!!”

“Flippers is the ideal restaurant by the Bay. The scenery, views and the cuisine were simply fantastic. We started with the Calamari and Crab Cakes as appetizers. For our main course, we enjoyed the quesadillas. It's a wonderful spot for both Lunch and Dinner.”

“first time here... excellent... not many good Mexican restaurants down here in fort Meyers area... but this one is awesome”

“Big shout out to Brad at Bob's Beach Bar! Super fun and gave us great recommendations for places to try in the area. We enjoyed some delicious cocktails in the sand and 🌞 with Brad as our bartender a couple of afternoons while at Pink Shell. He's the best!”

“Love what they're doing here. Feels just right. A little bit of old FMB. Beach, drinks, food truck, live music. Heaters on a chilly night. All great. Welcoming. Best place to just hang out. And dog friendly!”

“Excellent views! Rohan, our server was excellent! Very attentive and prompt.”

“yummy burrito and espresso”

“I didn't get coffee. I stopped because of the Bad Ass mural as well as the VW Van and Bad Ass Crossing sign. Awesome photo opp. A must stop to see when in the area.”

“Great food and service. True little gem near the beach.”

“Coffee was just okay! I go out for a new coffee at least once a weekend so I have a great variety to base this off of. I honestly preferred the MoJoe’s coffee (which is the smaller mini trailer stand) over this Margaritaville’s coffee. I always get lattes and usually opt for a half portion of one of the flavors. Their drinks come with 4 pumps for each flavor so just something to keep in mind! The color of the latte looks very promising but it felt a little burnt and sometimes if the espresso machine is bad-makes it extremely hard for a barista to pull properly. I get the espresso machines are expensive and their audience here in fort Meyers might not be worth the investment of upgrading the coffee set up. Icecream and food looked fabulous. And it’s neat they have alcohol add ins for the 5’o clock somewheres! Awesome hours and the vibes are, of course, beachy & fun!! If you like a simpler coffee (non espresso based) I’m sure you’ll have no problem getting a nice drink here!”

“One of the best hard scoop places I’ve ever been to! Made our Spring Break trip extra special this year with almost daily visits to Sweet Licks! 🍨😋”

“Stay last year. Had such a great time. Live bands day and night. The rooms were very nice and clean. So kick back and relaxing time.”

“Heerlijk gegeten! 10 out of 10!! 🥰”

“Quaint lovely little spot facing the marina. Kids loved watching the boats. Fare was tasty and fairly typical american. Service was fast. Prices were fare. I recommend it for lunch if you're in the area.”

“I have seen so many good and bad reviews. I think it's all about time of year and time you get there. If it's super busy and you are in a hurry...forget about it. But that goes for almost everyplace you go. There were 4 of us on a Friday night April 10 at 5:00. We had 2 tables to pick from and there were more on the outer deck. It was windy so we chose inside which had an amazing view of the bay. The hostess was super nice and accommodating. After just 2-3 minutes we were greeted by our excellent server (forgot name but a Kentucky gal). Taco soup, shrimp salad, and crunchy grouper. Everything was great. Food prep seemed fast with multiple people bringing it out. The crown royal pour was not over the top great but it was the same or better than most establishments. They do have free parking but you have to get lucky because there are limited spaces. The music (which was upstairs) was outstanding. We sat right next to the twosome singing and playing and it wasn't loud at all. If you want a decent meal at decent prices, ambiance, and a real FMB vibe this is a great place. We will be back!”

“Shawna our bartender at the island view was absolutely amazing! She is very attentive and makes a mean dirty martini!

We highly recommend stoping by to say hi and we will definitely be back!”

“Mushroom Risotto with truffle oil. Iron Cast Beef Filet Medallions. Cioppino Excellent! Servers were excellent!! Shout out to Manager Sarah. very accommodating. Thank You!!!!!”

“We had a wonderful dinner here last night. The meatballs, lasagna and lobster ravioli were all 12/10! Cocktails were all perfectly balanced as well. Service was top tier and the vibe was great for a nice night out. I highly recommend this place!”

“Very good food and great service. The lounge singer was extremely loud and not that good. Disappointing.”

“Everything was fabulous. So good that I got distracted and left my vari-focal prescription glasses behind. I don’t suppose you have them do you? Thank you. PS. Glasses last seen on the table on the left in the photo!”

“What a great place. We stopped here for drinks and appetizers during a visit. Everything was delicious and our server Jesse was awesome. I would definitely come back.”

“The Veranda is an absolutely beautiful place. The food is excellant. It is pricey but worth the money. Our waiter had too many tables and he forgot about us a bit. They sent out 2 other staffers to relieve him but they had only 1 table each while he still had at least 4. So the extra staff did not help the service we were lacking.”

“Best ice cream on beach”

“Waitress was friendly”

“Best. Wings. Ever!!!! Everyone was so friendly. The owner and cook came to talk to us.”

“If you’re looking for a true dive bar experience, this place definitely delivers. The atmosphere is lively, unfiltered, and full of personality, with a mix of locals and visitors that makes it feel welcoming especially if you come in with the right attitude. Drinks are cheap, the bartenders (especially Tina) can be fun and engaging, and extras like karaoke or the occasional free jello shots add to the charm.

That said, it’s not for everyone. It’s cash only, which can be inconvenient, and service can feel inconsistent depending on the crowd or timing. Some guests have had less than great experiences with how situations were handled, so expectations should be set for a no frills, old school bar vibe.
Overall, it’s a fun, memorable spot if you enjoy dive bars and don’t mind a little rough around the edges energy.”

“My husband had the mango habanero wings and he said they were some of the best he’s ever had. Great service! Very reasonable prices!”

“amazing bartender bobby!!!”

“Maria was wonderful! It was her first day and you couldn’t even tell. Very personable and had a smile on her face! Food was amazing! Will definitely be going back!”
