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.
All the staff including the owner, Matthew has been nothing was spectacular, Jose 🤵🏽♂ particularly has been nothing but perfect.
First visit. What a great place. The wife & I split the New York and prawns. The steak was probably the best one since we've moved here. Kind of expensive but by the time we were done, I really didn't care.

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.
