11 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Matlacha

“When we got there, there wasn't much parking. Which I understand for a small town local business that got hit by the hurricane ? and is trying to rebuild as well as possible. But, there were many bees, no air conditioning, and an "eh" vibe to it. ?. 3 of us got the pulled pork. It was quite dry and in clumps. But, still great tasting. The potato salad was amazing ?! The beans..... Were interesting....Tasting.....A bit spicy And thick....But good ??.....We got there and the entrance was through back which had many wasps flying around. We had to walk through the whole building through the back just to get to the register, where you order and pay at the same place/time. The whole building had a very interesting vibe......it was quite expensive as well. For 3 pulled pork sandwiches ? (each with a side), a brisket sandwich ?, a meal of brisket with a side, 2 beers, and 2 waters, it was $91.85!!!“

“So. I recently had a date from out of town. Though I’ve lived in CC for almost 5 years, I’ve never dined here. My date picked the spot. Everything was outstanding! The food was delicious and big servings. I got the jambalaya and she had pulled pork. And her brownie “loaf” was 3 servings covered in caramel. Service A+ And really personable owner Bill, bartender Craig, and entertainer Jerry B. I’ll be back to offer my scotch and bourbon selections to their expanded bar. Highly recommend!“

“After the eatery opened, we started going here regularly because it has a VIBE. We feel like we will run into locals we know and say 'hey'; tv is not obtrusive, service is exceptional; menu is just diverse enough to be fun even when you go often. Peel n eat shrimp, freaky good fish sandwich, bbq, and the wine/beer selection is very nice. Every week or so, a food truck or band is invited and a party happens // I mean they really draw a nice crowd! The metal trays, steam trunk punk decor and clean, airy vibe is comfy. One of our regular places weekly has turned into a tradition for us.“

“First time eating here , we had baby back ribs mac and cheese and cold slaw, everything was delicious , the mac and cheese surprised me , the meat on the ribs just falling off the bones ...... This is definitely my favorite please for Ribs from now on. Great “

“Rib City was just starting to get busy, but we did not have to wait. The service was great. The food was very good, but the green beans are way too Salty. By the time we left, there was quite a waiting line. It just goes to show you how popular they are! ?“

“We immediately say when we got there. There was no wait, but by the time we left, there were people waiting for tables. Our waitress was great and the food was good except the potato salad has lots of mustard in it which I don't care for. The atmosphere was good.“

“Our first time in a few years. The quality is still very consistent. Friendly attentive staff. Quickly seated on Saturday evening.Very good food at a reasonable price. Impressed with the value for the money.The shrimp appetizer was very good. We also enjoyed the fish sandwich, a combo baby back ribs with sliced beef. I really enjoyed the Cole slaw. The sauces are great.A highlight was the fried okra side delicious.I am really looking forward to returning.“

“Okay, this place is more or less a hit and miss. Every time I try to give this place a second chance. They find something to Mess up from not giving You the food that You paid for promising to give You discounts later that No One can Find Or serving you food That seems to be on the stove for a very long time and dried out. Maybe they only do this for the take out orders and save only the good stuff for the people in the Restaurant. there are young teens that they have working up at the front Entrance taking orders And answering phone calls. They seem to be more interested in playing with each other. Than to be making sure customers are satisfied. They can't even make sure that the orders are correct. Obviously they are not checking them before they walk out the door everyone is quick to say that sorry and say, we'll give you a discount next time. They never write it down and when you go in and ask for it. Everyone looks at you like you're a martian from another planet. I usually go to mission barbecue where the service is awesome. I tried to get this place a second chance to prove to me that they are worthy of me eating there. And here again they have failed my advice to you is don't take out check your orders. And if they promise you a discount on your next order, just forget about it. I know I won't be eating there anytime soon again.“

“Ginger Bistro in Cape Coral has been our go-to for Chinese food since they opened years ago! It has a really nice ambiance and absolutely the best Chinese food we have found anywhere. Typically the protein is the star feature of most restaurants and while the proteins served here are fabulous, the vegetables are the real standouts! They are so bright in color, beautiful, cooked to perfection and delicious! If u like vegetables, u will definitely want to take any leftovers (along with the proteins, of course) home in a to-go container. At most Chinese restaurants I notice that if there is protein left, it will get eaten or taken home, but not the brownish finely chopped little overcooked mushy vegetables thoroughly soaking in a sauce.On our most recent Monday evening visit, when my husband sitting across the booth from me went to get his credit card from his wallet to pay at the table, apparently all his cash fell out of his slimline wallet strap. We had no idea it had happened until I received a voicemail that same evening from a wonderful employee named Kim informing us that something had been left behind in our booth. By the time we listened to the vmail, we knew the restaurant was closed so I tried texting the number back as she had said it was her personal cell. I thanked her very much but shared that we had no idea what it was since I had already made sure I had my purse and my mother-in-law’s and my jackets and my husband had his wallet. I went on to describe the three of us and where we had been seated. She immediately replied back with such a friendly and fun, “So glad we found you!” and further revealed “it was a fair amount of cash”. I immediately thought, his wallet had appeared thinner than usual to me when I had looked at it in our closet, (since he was already in bed). She went on to tell us the money would be waiting for us on Wed in an envelope with his name on it and which manager would have access to it.I asked who found it and brought it to her attention and she said it was Mallory who was our lovely young server that night. Kudos to Mallory. No one would have known if she had pocketed it. But, she did not. We will be thanking her in person and with a token of our appreciation and admiration when we purposefully go back for another meal there this week or next.Well done and thank u so much to Mallory, Kim and Ginger Bistro. ❤️❤️❤️If u have not, give Ginger Bistro Cape Coral a try!! U will not be disappointed in the food or the people - both are excellent!Eva“

“A great place for either couples or a group to eat. Plenty of seating and ambience Clean and very inviting. Our group of six were all happy with the service and most of the food. We would have given our waitress ( Courtney ) an even bigger tip if they would not have added the 20% gratuity onto our bill. We all will be returning in the near future. We are residents of Florida and will come back frequently“
