There's nothing like a yummy southern-style, well-seasoned shrimp & grits with moist cornbread. Omg! We went to Ft. Myers, from Naples, for this one. Our server, Olivia, provided good service with a smile. Nice, casual, place to dine with a comfortable feel.
Went last night with friends and after being seated we waited awhile just to be given water, waited another 30mins to finally have the waitress ask what we would like to drink. Our waitress was trying to be nice but she was definitely short, a bit rude. We finally was able to order after a good hour, which is long, but the food took even longer to come out, waited forever. Our food didnt even come out together🤦🏽♀️ some waited while others of us waited longer. Dinner...read full review
The food is not southern style at all. My four year old can cook better. I saw the owner of the restaurant drinking behind the bar and the male bartender was sexually harassed the female bartender and the owner did nothing. So I rather go to the Waffle House. Lack of respect for the service people that works there.

Fancy's Southern Cafe is a popular restaurant known for its Southern-style comfort food and friendly atmosphere. Located in a modern and spacious downtown setting, it offers a comfortable environment with attentive and welcoming staff. Customers appreciate the quick service and fresh dishes, especially the signature chicken-n-waffles, which features a crispy waffle with vanilla notes, sweet housemade buttermilk syrup, and savory deep-fried chicken cooked in beef tallow. This dish consistently lives up to expectations and is highly recommended. The tomato soup is also praised for its strong tomato and basil flavor, with chunky pieces of tomato.
Other dishes like meatloaf receive high praise, being described as excellent, while shrimp & grits can be hit or miss—some find the shrimp small and the dish overly cheesy. The restaurant's ambiance is casual and inviting, making it a good spot for date nights or casual outings. Service quality varies slightly, but servers like Liz and Olivia stand out for their attentive and friendly service, often making guests want to return. While most dishes are enjoyed, some experiences highlight that certain items, like the chicken pot pie, may be overly salty, though this seems to be an occasional issue. Overall, Fancy's Southern Cafe offers delicious Southern comfort food with a warm, welcoming atmosphere worth trying again.
