“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!“

“very friendly and heart warming folks they try the best to help our community I love these guys“

“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.“

“Absolutely excellent experience! The food was fantastic, the mystery was so fun and I hope we get to go again soon!“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and great service from Ali!“

“Although it's been years since I've been, I still have dreams of this place. If you like amazing food, innovative menu's that aren't crazy complicated, and supporting small businesses, I highly recommend them. I wish the family of Fat Katz Sports Bistro all my love, it was a pleasure working with you back when your doors opened, and it makes me so happy to see you still living the dream! For those looking for food like none other in the area, check this place out. My only words of warning is this place is popping and the food is fresh so please be patient with waiting times! For those looking for employment in the kitchen (if they are still hiring) It's a lot of hard work but if you work with the boss as a team I promise the day fly's by fast and you will learn so much to bring with you for your future years cooking.“

“Our favorite beer is the Dirty Blonde. It's always set at the perfect chilled temperature. The parmesan garlic wings is truly a must. Our server Lindsey was as sweet as could be ask for her you won't be disappointed.“

“The steak and shrimp stir fry was awesome! Best Noodles I've ever had! The wife's steak salad was amazing, and the whole place is just beautiful!“

“The food is great as usual. We've come to lunch or brunch here a few times. Large portions. The quiche never fails us. I like how crunchy their house made potato chips are, although sometimes they taste slightly over done. It's still a hot outside, but their patio seating is a nice environment. I've never sat inside so I can't comment on that. With that said, service can be courteous but seem curt.“

“The restaurant has a great water view. We were there for Mother’s Day and they had a buffet brunch. The food and service were both good. We’ll definitely be back for their regular dinner menu.“

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

“Excellent food and even better service!“

“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!!“

“R&R is the best little pub around! We always enjoy our weekend visit. there. The atmosphere is fun, the music is always good and the staff are great!“

“We tried it for the first time last week and everything was great! The food was fresh and flavorful, and the service was spot-on!“

“We had a fantastic dinner at GatorBites Tail & Ale. Amber, our server, was perfectly attentive and timed everything just right. Nick, the owner, added charm by working the floor as a “pretend bus boy” before joining us for a great conversation that made the evening even more memorable.

As a lifelong foodie who usually cooks high-end meals at home, I was genuinely impressed. Some of the negative reviews I’d seen beforehand now seem baffling — this place exceeded expectations across the board.

The food was outstanding. The beer-battered shrimp were the best I’ve ever had — light, crispy, and flavorful. The wings were excellent, and my wife loved her smoked pulled pork sandwich. Their signature fresh gator was also a standout. First-timers: go for the virgin breaded version — it’s far more tender and crispy than the flavored options.

Prices are very fair, especially considering the quality. The cocktails are strong and well-made, and their house IPA, Reef Donkey, was a surprise hit — easily the best IPA I’ve had.

Despite being a sports bar-style venue, it’s spotlessly clean, welcoming, and delicious. It’s a little off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the effort to find. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Stopped in for breakfast at Fallow Street Grill and it was absolutely fantastic. The food had that home-style flavor that’s getting harder to find these days — it honestly reminded me of the late 90s in the best way possible.

The service was quick, friendly, and genuine. You can tell the staff actually care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The atmosphere had great energy — warm, relaxed, good vibes.

If you’re looking for great breakfast food and a place that feels like a mix of nostalgia and quality hometown brunch, this is it. Highly recommend.“

“I would like the home delivery meals to be served a little more, for example the rice is very little and please make the chicharrones bigger and put more in the order because I saw few of them compared to other restaurants and you pay them for the price what they put“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“My birthday cake went in the trash! Needed something quickly! After searching the internet for what I needed, I called. They could help me out! I really was in a big fix! I grabbed a couple of my cake tiers..and went to see what she held for me... they were very delicious cupcakes! At the party, when friends asked where I got them...people knew.."Oh..the little place.."..ayuh...watch out for those small unpretentious little shops in a plaza...its a GEM! I plan on being their customer.“

“Fun adult restaurant and bar. Daily music“

“Last night, we ended up getting stuck in the storm coming back from the Sanibel causeway. Seeking shelter, we decided to dock next to this place. Soaking wet, asked if we could sit outside and order. I believe it was Sydney that was our waitress. (Had an English accent if that helps) Service was absolutely amazing. All of the food (especially the buffalo chicken flatbread) was amazing! Thanks again to Sydney for the hospitality. She even brought us towels 🤣😂😂“
