“I'm staying at the hotel across the street and I missed breakfast here at the hotel so I drove over to the waffle house. They were super busy but I was greeted with kindness by Elaine the server. I am hard of hearing Ava she had on a mask so I really cutting hear her from over the counter. She kindly came around and took my to go order. The kindness she gave me was priceless! The food was great as usual and I had a great experience there. So thank you! 🙏🩷🕉️“

“Motor City Coney Island Ft Myers 3-25-25 We had to stop by here on a Tuesday for their special priced Coney Island Hot Dog at $2.99. We arrived there at 11:37 with just a couple tables with customers at them, but the place was not packed. This place was neat and very clean with everything in order. I loved the interior, the little bar area and Patio out front. Let me start by saying my expectations were not set high as I figured I’m going to review a place that just serves hot dogs. Boy was I wrong! This place exceeded all my expectations by a mile and then some. They serve so much more than Hot Dogs; they serve Breakfast all day, they have all kinds of Salads, Wraps, Melts, Pittas, Clubs, Gyros, Burgers, Fish and serve Beer and limited Alcohol. They will even Cater events for you. I ordered the Original Coney which had Chillie, Onion & Mustard. My wife Ordered the Tuna Wrap. Our friend ordered the Chili Cheese Dog which came with Chili and Cheese Sauce. We all ordered a side of Fries with our main orders. Our food came out a short time later and it looked amazing. I could not believe how good our food was. Our Dogs were piled high with toppings. This was by far the best Hot dog I had in this area. My wife’s Tuna wrap was very good and so big she could not eat the entire wrap. Our friend loved his Chili Cheese dog. All our food was hot and plenty of it even the Fries were good. Our waiter Freddy was spot on with checking on us. We even met one of the owners Armando which took the time out to introduce himself. You must put this place on your Must Stop By List you will not be sorry and certainly stop back just like we are going to do. I give this Motor City Coney Island a 5 out of 5 stars for the great food, great service, friendly servers, and clean place. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me On FB For More Reviews Gulf Coast Terry“

“Visited from southern Delaware over Thanksgiving. Wasn't sure where to eat Thanksgiving dinner, so Googled and Mel's Diner was serving it. Called to make a reservation, but they were booked. Was told they were accepting walk-ins, call on our way and they'd put us on the list. Was able to get seated right away, party of 2! I had the turkey dinner and my beau had ham dinner... delicious, just like home. Our server (Cody?) was lovely and the owner took the time to check on us. It's no wonder Mel's has great reviews. I highly recommend and look forward to our next visit. Thank you, Mel's Diner for hosting Thanksgiving dinner!🙏“

“Went to this little gem twice in two days. After having the most delicious pumpkin ravioli and side salad. Other diners enjoyed soups, salads, mahi tacos, truffle fries and Mediterranean wrap. Everyone encountered here was friendly and helpful with guiding us with our orders. They have a decent beer and wine selection for a small place (if that’s a priority) to accompany your meal. We will definitely put this on our must visit list each trip to the Ft Myers area.“

“Mixed feelings. The food and service were great as usual. We went as a family of 8, did the 45m to 1 hour wait and was seated in N/W corner. The problem was that for the hour before seating and after being seated no one from the restaurant mentioned to us that the A/C was not working! Our server confirmed and even told us to use the menu insert as a fan. Needless to say we felt deceived and made it a night to remember, for the wrong reason.“

“Arrived 30 minutes early to reservation due to schedule changes and the Hostess had a very bad attitude that whole time as we basically watched her set our table up as slowly as she possibly could and we were not seated until 2 minutes after our reservation. She wiped the table down and sat us with it soaking wet and sticky and she forgot a place and slammed down the plate and silverware in front of us after we sat down and barely said a word to us. Other than that, everything else was amazing. Reservation was at 1pm on 5/4.“

“My dad always takes me out for breakfast so this time we went to Fowler Street Grill.
The inside is very small and cluttered. We weren’t sure if we can just pick a table or wait for someone to seat us. The vibe is like family, it was evident that the same people eat there often.
The food was really good! I had two eggs over easy with bacon,? toast, and home fries (whenever I go out for breakfast, I always ask them melt American cheese over it with peppers and onions. I call it “sexy home fries”)? I also had a cup of coffee which comes in a real size coffee mug, not a small one the rest of the diners use. ☕️ The only problem I had was that the eggs weren’t completely done, ? it still had the clear, raw part of the egg. I don’t send food back so I just ate everything else because it was soooo good ?

Vegetarian options: Vegetarians can just order food without meat

Dietary restrictions: If the customer lets them know their dietary restrictions, the restaurant will accommodate.

“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!“

“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.“

“The appetizers were very good along with the salad that came with my meal. Everyone I went with definitely enjoyed their meal. I had the pork medallions in a cranberry reduction. I think it could have been a lot better with a little extra salt but it was difficult to get the servers attention. A lovely setting, big bar, festive atmosphere but I believe you have to be a club member to eat here and bring guests.
