“I finally made it over to Southern Sub’s, and I gotta admit I am impressed. The young lady working behind the counter, making sandwiches and doing it all, well she was very pleasant and worked with me it being my first time. Now if you know me I’ve been a connoisseur of subs all my life since my childhood memories of eating Muff’s super subs at the old FMFD station 2 with my dad and the crew there. I miss Muff’s Sub Shop, like the original Englunds Deli. Subway is nothing more the generic filler for when there’s nothing else. Pub Sub, and Jersey Mikes are good but they’re chain produced. Now Southern Sub.. local, easy to talk to, very pleasant and helpful and the Ultimate that I had today was stuffed with meat, cheese and veggies. The bread, fresh and easy to eat with great flavor. If I had to rate SS on a scale of 1-10 I’d give it 11.. if you haven’t been, “try it out”, have I ever steered you wrong? Fresh, tasty with friendly folks putting it all together as you watch. 👍🏼👍🏼 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll be back.. keep it local!“

“The North Fort Myers Rib City is really one of the best I have ever been to. I love Rib City and I won't go to the one in Lehigh or Fort Myers because they are either rude and the restaurants are filthy. This one in North Fort Myers is right by my work, so I often go there with my coworkers. The girls are so professional and pleasant, and the food is always delicious.“

“Absolutely love this place! I don't know where to start! The staff: Every person I've met from the cashier, the waitress, even the people cleaning the tables, have been absolutely wonderful, so kind, welcoming and accommodating! Customer service wise I'd say they are the Chick Fil A of restaurants. I honestly can not think of another restaurant where I have enjoyed the atmosphere this much. The Food: Makes me feel like I'm at home! I have been in Florida since October for work, and when I start missing home, their food hits the spot! Everything I've had has been on point, like my grandmother is in the kitchen! I have started planning my meals for the week around their daily specials! Highly recommend!“

“First time here. I love eating out and wanted to try this so "hidden" place. Atmosphere nice, cozy and even the aroma of home kitchen.
I ordered breakfast and what really killed the experience was that I WAS NOT OFFERED COFFEE REFILL NOT EVEN ONCE. They just abed the food and not even one did they come to see how was it. That's the one thing that killed the experience.“

“What a fabulous brunch for 5 ladies this past Sunday . It was rainy and gloomy, but we had an amazing time at Fancy’s Southern Cafe. Our server Danielle was amazing, very friendly and professional, she checked on our special requests w the chef. The food arrived quickly and it was soooo delicious. We split few apps : fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, doughnuts, fried frog 🐸 legs (omg ..the best frog legs I ve had anywhere)! I had catfish w waffles, my friends had mountain man omelette, sausage gravy and biscuits, crab Benedict, sausage patties, pancakes, Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious 🤤, everyone was happy. Oh ye..and we did bottomless mimosas ..$23 a person, was def worth the price w 4 dif juices to choose from to accompany. We ll be def back to such a fine establishment in Ft Myers, FL!!!“

“All I can say is… Wow. In our three winters in Florida, we had not experienced this exquisite place. Tonight was the night we first tried it - I’m kicking myself that it took us so long. The place is one block off of downtown Fort Myers First Street. It consists of two old homes, conjoined, with a valet parking lot. Though we consulted the menu before heading there, we were woefully ill prepared by the enormous wine list and their multiple specials for the evening. Starting at the bar with a pre-dinner drink, we were met by a lovely young lady who gave us the history of the place. Drinking our drinks, she was a delight to speak with. As it was midweek and preseason, we were able to get a table quite easily. Reservations are highly recommended though! Robert was our waiter, and he was an absolute gem. Gave us the rundown of his favorites on the menu upon our request, and gave us ample time to review the menu. We opted for two different steak entrées, and had the table side spinach/hot bacon salad prepared. First course: bread. Yummy rye with cornbread muffins…. They got our taste buds roaring. Next was the tableside salad. Brought out on a wheeled cart with a small gas stove, Robert created a complete masterpiece for us in front of our very eyes. Highly highly highly recommend the spinach/hot bacon dressing salad for 2. Finally, our entrées. Husband had the ribeye and I had the tenderloin. Disclaimer: We are Wisconsinites who love our beef, and are not fond of Florida’s grass fed beef. We were told by Robert that the steaks were beyond reproach, and he was absolutely accurate. Perfectly prepared at medium rare, both steaks were some of the best we’ve ever had…. And we are foodies! I requested mine to be rolled in cracked pepper, the chef followed my directive perfectly. The steaks were very ample for the price point, and included a house salad, whipped potatoes, and vegetables. For the quality of the food, this was very reasonably priced in our opinion. After attacking our meal, we decided to check out the dessert menu. Decided to split a Keylime pie piece, and it was completely wonderful. All desserts are homemade in house. Overall impressions: this place is an absolute must do for special occasions. If you love good food and are OK with paying a fair price, this should be a frequent stop. I’m embarrassed that we have not tried it before, we will become regulars after this visit. Staff was wonderful, the atmosphere is gorgeous, the wine list is extensive, the atmosphere is upscale yet not pretentious. They do offer valet parking, and after 5 PM parking on the street is free. Thank you,Veranda, for an absolutely fabulous dinner. Looking forward to our many leftovers tomorrow. See you soon!!!“

“I had to wait about 23 minutes for my online order. I was pretty pissy about it but the only reason why I didnt leave mad is because of how the hostess took care of me tonight. I know the kitchen wasn’t her fault, but she communicated and gave me updates. I appreciated that and left content. She offered to bring it to my car. Such a sweet caring hostess! Service is great but kitchen has to get better. Give her my kudos! Food was still good.“

“We had a last minute dinner here on new years eve with a party of 16. Ranging from 2 to 60 years.
Sarah was very helpful with my multiple phone calls and questions. And our table was waiting for us when we arrived.
Great range of food, and even for arriving with less then an hour before closing time, there was constant top ups of hot and fresh food at the buffet. The kids could hardly decide what to have for dessert with great excitement!
Sarah also did a wonderful job of keeping our water and re-fill drinks filled. We would come back :)

Parking: Rang in advance to see if our RVs would fit - they did. But took 3-4 parks each being 32 ft“
