Restaurants near Matlacha

“My husband and I just enjoyed dinner there this past Saturday and my goodness!!!.. we were not only blown away by the food, wine and dessert; but the service Kelci provided! The Mullett 3 ways appetizer was incredible. The coconut encrusted mahi with pina colada rice (and don’t even get me started on the crispy scallions!) was DEVINE. To finish off with the PERFECT key lime pie was just…well, perfect! We love Blue Dog, can’t recommend enough and can’t wait to go back and truly ask for Kelci; so on it, so sweet, no rushing, helpful etc. everything positive!”

“Wonderful experience! Food and coffee is amazing! Everyone from staff to locals are so welcoming and sweet. My toddler was awe’d over and treated like a princess. We love Matlacha. #StrongerThanAHurricane”

“South Side native here. On top of the great service and warm welcomes, Big Herm's has the only legit garden-style Chicago dog in the Cape. The garden dog includes cucumbers. The pizza is amazing too—perfect tavern-style crust, Greco sausage, and the cheese is just right. I highly recommend them if you’re in SW or NW Cape or out on the islands.”

“Always love their samples all you want!”

“Not only did he come to my home and was extremely professional, but made it a wonderful event!! I have had steaks from here to California up to Canada and back down here to Florida… nobody makes a stake like this man!! he does a reverse sear and everything has done to perfection along with the sides. I highly recommend him for any private event that you would have and he’ll come right to your home!! He is worth every penny spent! Thank you, Mr. John… Outstanding job, sir Five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Today marked a memorable occasion, and my husband and I chose to celebrate at our beloved, favorite Masala Mantra Indian Bistro. It's our anniversary! The food and service there never fail to impress. I often find myself declaring Indian cuisine as my top pick among all the international flavors out there! The warmth of Indian hospitality is truly delightful. Our waiter, Akhil, is exceptional—his attentive and meticulous service stands out every time. The restaurant consistently maintains a pristine, fresh, and elegantly appointed atmosphere. Akhil and the manager went above and beyond to make our anniversary unforgettable. They surprised us with a scrumptious slice of mango cheesecake, adorned with a candle, and handed me a lighter to ignite it and mark the occasion! How thoughtful is that? Akhil even offered to capture some photos of us. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making us feel so valued! My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant. I wanted to share a few snapshots here. Miriam & John”

“This place is the perfect casual relaxed Tikki bar. The guacamole is to DIE for !!!! I ordered it on the suggestion of Kat the barlass, whose service was absolutely incredible !! I followed the fresh made guacamole with the grilled ribeye and it was a perfect blend of flame kissed savorieness and a very slight scald flavor to give it some earthiness. The prices are reasonable the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. This place is worth driving out of your way for. You will NOT be disappointed!!!”

“If you haven’t tried this gem you’re missing out! From the moment we walked in to when we left, we felt like family. Staff was attentive and friendly, the food was outstanding but the bloody Mary’s my group got were a meal in themselves! A must see spot if you’re in the Cape!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Rustic Sub Shop on Del Prado is absolutely amazing! The sandwiches are packed with fresh ingredients and incredible flavor—you can truly taste the quality in every bite. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or sitting down for a quick meal, this place never disappoints. I highly recommend The Rustic Sub Shop to anyone looking for a delicious, satisfying sub. A true local gem!”

“We had a party of seven, including three kids. we got four gyro platters and they were absolutely amazing!! Large portions and filled with delicious meat! Greek salads are always amazing! My only complaint was the kids got cheeseburgers and they were not good. For 9.25, I was hoping for better, lesson learned. But overall, absolutely amazing! I was sad to see Plaka go but Mythos is definitely a good substitute.”

“Awesome place with great food. They were very accommodating with my gluten free diet, putting my sandwich on a bed of rice vs bread. Mom loved the soup! Lenny was our waiter and made our first time memorable and we can't wait to return! Excellent!”
