New American Restaurants near Fort Myers Beach, FL

“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!“

“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!“

“Waitress was friendly“

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

“Amazing food, atmosphere as well as drinks. The waiter Chris Comeens was phenomenal!!“

“A group of four of us were served by Dylan G. None of us were very tech savvy, so we had some difficulty with the app. Dylan could not have been more patient, and helped us get through the entire process. The food was delicious! Dylan took very good care us, making sure we getting what we wanted. Thank you for making our visit a good one!“

“I don’t even know where to start—FK Your Diet absolutely blew me away. From the moment we walked in, everything was on point. We were greeted right away, sat down, and had our drinks in literally 30 seconds. That kind of service just sets the tone, and they didn’t miss a beat from there. The menu is one of those where you genuinely don’t know what to choose because everything sounds that good. And somehow, it actually lives up to it. The staff was absolutely amazing—friendly, dialed in, and clearly proud of what they’re doing. The food? Without a doubt the best breakfast I have ever had in my life. I’m a huge foodie, and this is on the same level as Little Birds food truck in Cape Coral—which says a lot. What really stood out though is their mission of helping the community. That’s something you just don’t see enough of anymore, and it makes supporting them even better. And during a packed breakfast rush, the owner Doug still took the time to come out and personally make sure everything was good. That says everything about how they run their place. I’m telling you—if you don’t choose this place for breakfast, you’re cheating yourself. This might honestly be the best breakfast in the world.“

“This is an outdoor bar serving excellent drinks and pretty good food for such a small venue. I was expecting the total restaurant experience but I didn’t know it was the bar type of venue… summer sangria was very refreshing and not sweet at all.. burger was good n jerk chicken for me was a bit to saucy and almost too messy for my taste.. but great place for quick bite or drink😎“

“Everything was great!!! Food and service awesome!!“

“My husband and I came in for a fresh seafood dinner and this restaurant did not disappoint. Our waiter, Justin, was incredible from start to finish. His extensive knowledge of the menu offerings coupled with his exuberance had us smiling and laughing like we were speaking with an old friend. We decided to create our own tasting of sorts from the fine selections of fresh seafood. Our meal included the NOLA Oysters which were baked and served with seasoned butter, the crab cake appetizer which was serving of lump crab held together by a crispy sear and no filler, as well as the chilled seafood tower. Every bite from start to finish was delectable. We had crab, lobster, tuna tartar, shrimp and oysters. Each bite was more spectacular than the previous as we sampled each offering. We have already decided the next time we are in town that this restaurant will be a must! 5 Stars out of 5!!“

“Food is great, customer service is top notch, and the restaurant was very clean. Nice place to snack on wings and watch a game or even bring the whole family as they also have a few arcade games as well. We will definitely be back and join in on the many events they host. The owner himself is a down to earth person that truly cares about the end result of your trip. We definitely recommend visiting and checking it out for yourself. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.????“

“Wonderful Place,Great Food , Friendly Staff, definitely recommend to anyone by boat or car .“

“Food is always good and very reasonable prices too! I got something new this time. The chicken Philly roll. With extra cheese :)
I have tried their quesadilla - it’s very yummy and a good size. Their chicken tenders and fries are always good. I have also tried the bbq chicken wrap and it was yummy too! I would definitely recommend trying this place out. It’s one of my go to’s“

“Love coopers! Best wine, best vibes & love our waiter James. Always so attentive“

“Food was great, service was incredible and the price was surprisingly affordable. Sorry it took us so long to finally stop and give you a try.“

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

“Such a wonderful experience tonight! Great food, ambience and service!“

“We’ve been playing music at BBT this past year and I have to say it’s one of the most fun places we get to play! The staff is accommodating and really add to the atmosphere and the crowds are always having a blast! We are looking forward to another great year at Bonita Beach Tavern! “Johnny Squared”/“First Wave”“

“Another one of those little Gems. Found it this week. Needed a nice place for our 4th Anniversary Dinner:
Called and made a reservation[Recommended] and we arrived at 17:30.was greeted and served Bread. The bread alone was exceptional.
I ordered the Rack of Lamb, my wife had the Pork Chop.
I must say, outside my own Kitchen, this was “The Best” Lamb I have ever had! Succulent, Tender, and cooked perfectly. The Pork Chop was also very good, probably the Tenderest I’ve ever tasted.
The servers here are what you would expect at a Four Star Restaurant.

Please give these people your business.“

“Great customer service!! Friendly staff, drinks are made quick...it's also a Monday evening and there aren't many people at the pool. Food was fast and delicious! The chicken nachos were great and the cheese never ran out. The fish street tacos could've used some zip and there was no additional sauce to help out. Will definitely stop back throughout the week!“

“Our waitress, Celina, was absolutely exceptional!!! Super friendly and so very kind! We ate there on a Friday and went back a week later and she remembered our names and greeted us by name, as soon as she saw us!!“

“Tonight, my fiance and I, along with a couple of friends, enjoyed a delightful dinner at Christoph’s on McGregor. Housed in a beautifully remodeled turn-of-the-century home, the restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly compliments the dining experience. We ordered lasagna, spaghetti with meatballs, scallops with risotto, Caprese salad, warm bread, cheesecake, and homemade Key lime pie. The lasagna was, as always, delicious and served in a generous portion. The spaghetti came with impressively large meatballs—definitely enough to share—and was packed with flavor. The scallops were cooked to perfection, and the risotto was wonderfully creamy. The cheesecake however lacked flavor, but the homemade key lime pie was amazing! It was a fantastic meal in a charming setting—truly a wonderful evening!“

“Honestly this place is amazing I loved working here and having fun with my family members and I can’t wait to come back to work“

“Wow! Had never been until last night, although we frequently visit Sanibel. Can’t say enough about the quality of the food. My new all time favorite. A salad with tomatoes, watermelon, mozzarella, roasted pumpkin seed and a great dressing. Smoked tenderloin was a unique and fantastic dish.“

“The most amazing comedy experience of my lifetime! And I’m old!!“

“This was a great surprise. We didn’t realize it was a senior community but open to the public. My husband wanted breakfast and I wanted a good burger. We were both pleased as our food was cooked to perfection. We were warmly greeted and the place was spotless. Everyone was so nice and friendly as it was obvious we weren’t old enough to live there. They offer a great variety of options including ice cream.“

“Great Service, Great Prices and very convenient.“

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

“Fun adult restaurant and bar. Daily music“

“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!“

“Nice atmosphere but the food is just average. Had the conch fritters were undercooked doughy inside then the crunchy grouper sandwich that was overcooked dark and dry. Clearly they need a capable fry cook in the kitchen. The sweet potato fries could have used another minute in the grease“

“We have been going to Charlies at Sanubel Resort for 23 years. We have always enjoyed what I think is TGHE BEST SPOT IN SWFL for the sunset - and a cocktail!! Last week a group of use watched the sun set into the West, had a drink and a nosh. But what made this time special was our server Cydni. She was fast, friendly and a pleasure to have serve us. We shall return!“

“Visiting Ft Myers from Michigan for the week. looking for late night eats. We had Bob as our server. Huge selection of food and portions are more than enough to share a meal. Great vibe and music. A fun place and will come again before we head back home. If you are in the area definitely worth checking out.“

“Tons of fun, good food and awesome people“

“Very very nice. Fine dining. Most certainly will return.“

“Lunch Specials (up to 4:00 pm) are wonderful ♥️ and tasty 😋. We had a pizza with salad, delicious, for each person not even $12, lots of fresh warm bread wit olive oil/ herbs as a free Appetizer. Best server, very sweet and kind. We are definitely recommend California Pizza Kitchen and will come back.“

“Food was great! I had breakfast there and was pleasantly surprised that their “breakfast buffet” had a an excellent selection of breakfast foods, which were all high quality, including smoked salmon, carved ham, and custom made omelets.“
