50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Matlacha

“My favorite restaurant - fresh food and wonderful staff.“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The Thanksgiving buffet was absolutely the best! Delicious turkey, prime rib, ham, and all the amazing sides. Every employee who worked that day gave their all, creating a warm, festive atmosphere and making sure everyone felt cared for! Their dedication turned a holiday meal into an unforgettable celebration. We will definitely go back!!!“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Even better atmosphere!!!! Check it out if you’re in the area.“

“Found Barunch via The Festival of Lights. They did beautiful takeout boxes for us, and the Chopped Cheese and Chicken Caesar Wrap were both excellent! We have since dined in, and another wonderful experience. Only wish that they were open longer! :)“

“Very nice restaurant! Very good food and service! Be hungry, they serve a ton of great Mexican food!“

“Met friends there this week. Malakai was our server. Had a great time. He was totally informative and a lot of fun. The food was delicious. Will be back. Sat outside. Very nice.“

“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!!!“

“We will absolutely be back! Our ride was perfect, & cool in the shade of the Tiki Bar with a great breeze. Nick played great music & made sure we paused to see some dolphins. He took us to a great restaurant along the water & made sure we had everything for our ride. You should absolutely experience this if you’re in the area!“

“First time but not our last. Food was excellent. Server was attentive and made great suggestions. It was a Monday night, in season, we made reservations and arrived promptly at 5:30 and was surprised it was empty with only a few other patrons. This was only the 2nd Indian restaurant I've been to and I can't wait to go back and try something new! We enjoyed the Tamarind Eggplant appetizer, Chicken Korma, I had the option to increase the heat and went with medium, which was perfect. Others ordered Mango Shrimp with added heat to spicy which was very good. The dry fruit & nut Peshwari Naan was tasty, more like a dessert or appetizer then for dipping into the entree sauces. It was my Birthday and they surprised us with a serving of carrot halwa and 2 gulab jamoon (fried cheese dumplings in sweet syrup) for desert..both of which were very tasty, as I was not sure at first what to expect, but I'll be going back and ordering them again!“

“An absolute gem 💎 in Fort Myers! Great coffee, delicious food, and an awesome atmosphere. I stopped in for lunch and stumbled upon $1 tacos… what a treat! I had the hard shell with a mix of beef and chicken, and let me tell you — some of the best tacos I’ve had in a while! 🌮 The salsa was on point too! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Now I’ve gotta run… it’s time for trivia! 🎉“

“We enjoyed our evening at Chocolattes so much! A great menu selection (food was delish), even good options for kids. The coffee was amazing, and I can’t wait to try some of the other special drinks.

“The best ice cream in town!!!“

“Came here for the first time today after a recommendation from a friend. Our group tried 5 different dishes and they were all wonderful. Philly Roll, blackened shrimp, buffalo fingers (but with sweet chili sauce), sweet potato fries, and the buffalo wings (medium). Everything was fantastic. The place is very casual, adorned with Michigan sports decor, (but everyone is welcome of course) Staff was super friendly and attentive. We will be back for sure.“

“Great food but most importantly, great people make this restaurznt the best of it's kind anywhere in SW Florida. Shrimp portions are generous and if you like real southern cooking. Their authentic gumbo and creole jambalaya will warm your heart. If you happen to want an even warmer heart, you can up the heat with the ghost pepper version. You will encounter some great cooks and some attentive servers who will make your visits habit-forming!“

“Love this place.. it’s definitely my neighborhood go to. We especially love Brook!! She’s like family to us, she is professional, curious, and has a wonderful customer satisfaction rating.. the place was updated tasteful and didn’t skip a beat as the transition was flawless! Very proud to shout out praises!!!“

“I ordered Christmas dinner online a week before Christmas with a 23rd pick up. However when I went to pick it up they did not have my order. The manager Shane came and talked to me and he looked and could not find my order. So he took my order right there and filled it for me. I paid and he said if I got billed twice to come back and they would take care of it. They offered me something to drink while I waited. Shane and the staff were wonderful and helpful. When I got home I looked and I had not been billed twice. We have not eaten there before and we will be going to eat in. Thank you all for your help. Adding to my original post: Had their Christmas dinner for 4. It was Turkey which was so moist and tender. Loved the potato’s and the cranberry sauce was perfect. First time not cooking and it was so nice. Thank you for such good food.“

“Great steak tacos! Great ceviche and great service! Will be back!“

“Great bar to, very Cheers like if I'm you are a townie and a very fun place to visit is you are a snowbird or just visiting town for a short time. Colorful and fun . Very well managed and the wait staff and bar tendres are awesome ladies and gentlemen.“

“Would like to thank everyone for the hospitality and not drooling all over me. I had a wonderful time. Tell Tom (Tequila & Budlight) thanks for inviting me to his favorite place.“

“Restaurant setting gets a 5, food gets a 3, which equals a 4 overall. Really nice marina setting in Bokelia. The venue is small but has a nice vibe, views, and service. The food was another story. Two of us had grouper sandwiches, and two of us had grouper platters (no bun). The sandwiches were (reportedly) OK, but the platters were not. The grouper in the platters was like small dried-out dollar pancakes. It's very disappointing for a restaurant chain that has been a mainstay in the area for many years. The operation on McGregor is not like this one. (food-wise).“
