“Absolutely the most DEPLORABLE take out experience of my entire life!!! NOT EVEN EDIBLE FOOD!!!! My husband's chili came as an emptied cup that looked like food was previously stored in and dumped out. Not to mention myself and my grandmother ordered medium steaks and they came BURNT. My grandma actually indicated that she thinks the steak that she ordered SMELLED!!. Mine was supposed to be the chimichuri entree and i dont even know what i received? When my husband returned to the restaurant, the manager was rude and acted as if the situation did no warrant a full refund and indicated "it's only food"!!! As a local business owner, I do everything I can to solve issues so it does not come down to leaving a negative review as I know how negativity impactful it can be to a company. However, we spent $150 on dinner, received completely inexcusable food, and was pretty much told it's not a big deal".”

“Amazing work. Perfect replica of our wedding cake. My wife was blown away.”
“First of all, Renee our server was excellent! There were eight of us from the Punta Gorda Sailing Club (Sea Gals) having lunch. Renee had everything prepared for us when we arrived: menus at each place setting along with napkins and silverware, as well as several bowls of herb olive oil to accompany the warm baked bread that was offered. She was very pleasant and took our orders promptly and efficiently. I have dietary issues and she was very helpful with making suggestions concerning my particular needs. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very welcoming and we all enjoyed conversing with each other during our meal. Food was very good, fresh and tasty. Renee was delightful! All in all, a perfect place to dine for lunch or dinner!”
“Go there often but my last time I went with my daughter had literally 2” of soda Baja blast from Taco Bell, the waitress was a little Rude about bringing in outside drinks! I understand the reason but its a kid with 2” left in the cup. Anyway I said no problem and Walked out went to spend my money at there competition. Haven’t returned since! Yes i love the food and it’s great food but it was just the principle of the thing she clearly see 2” left….🤷🏻♂️”

“As a first time visitor to Florida, I found The Q Too by asking a perfume rep at the local mall as they were preparing to close. I could not have received a more perfect recommendation. The service was top notch. The ice cream, well, let us just say I have had few better. The quality was far beyond the pale: taste, presentation, and options (both ice cream and toppings). I was in the company of two precious young ladies and it was my eldest granddaughter, Mady, who was the first to notice the very special history of this business. May their business and community involvement continue for many years to come. Thank you for creating these special flavors for making memories. To all visitors to the area: it seems quaint and simple on the outside, which belies the scrumptious treats you will discover. <3 Tari Lee and family.”
“My daughter wanted an ice cream cake for her birthday and Howard’s did not disappoint!! The whole family enjoyed a delicious strawberry and chocolate custom ice cream cake with cookie crumbles! My daughter was thrilled with the sprinkles and cherry on top of the cake. The price was very reasonable do a 9” round cake! I will 100 be ordering future cakes from here.”
“Was so excited to try the jerk chicken fries. They were sooooo good too UNTIL 3rd bite. I pulled a hair on my fork!!! Taste wise they do their thing. Keep the wigs n weaves under a net ladies if yall can’t stay well kept. That’s nasty as hell! Big turn off. May try again down the line but won’t be back soon”
“There are moments in a person’s life that divide everything into a Before and an After. The birth of a child. A wedding. Gazing upon the Grand Canyon. And, apparently, using the restroom at Olive Garden.
Until that fateful moment, my visit had been entirely pleasant. The food was good. The service was good. The breadsticks arrived in their customary abundance, bestowed upon humanity by whatever benevolent deity presides over garlic butter. All was well.
Perhaps I had grown complacent.
Eventually, as happens to all mortal beings cursed with functioning kidneys, nature summoned me away from the table. I entered the restroom expecting nothing more remarkable than the mundane necessities of human biology.
What I encountered instead will remain with me until death.
I approached the toilet and found myself staring into a bowl containing a liquid of such a profoundly disconcerting yellow hue that I stopped dead in my tracks. The porcelain bowl had been stained a shade comparable to the soft, supple skin of Homer Simpson, such that even crystal clear water appeared to be a mellowing yellow.
Perhaps the bowl had acquired this color through some obscure chemical process. Perhaps the plumbing had tapped into an underground reservoir of concentrated apple juice. Perhaps some previous traveler had committed an atrocity and fled without so much as a courtesy flush. There are questions science may someday answer. I sincerely hope this is not one of them.
I stood before it not as a customer, but as an archaeologist confronting the remnants of a vanished civilization. What happened here? Who had come before me? Why had no one intervened?
I persevered.
Afterward, I approached the sink with the desperate optimism of a shipwrecked sailor glimpsing land. Surely here I would find salvation. Cool, clean water. Soap. A chance to wash away not merely the physical consequences of my journey, but the memory of what I had witnessed.
Fool that I was.
The sink was filthy. Not mildly dirty. It had achieved the sort of grime suggesting it had ceased being a plumbing fixture and begun developing its own ecosystem. Every stain seemed ancient. Every discoloration had a history. Entire civilizations may have risen and fallen within that basin.
I washed my hands anyway, because apparently civilization is maintained by tiny acts of stubbornness.
When I emerged, my companions continued eating, blissfully unaware. Servers carried plates. Families laughed. Breadsticks circulated.
How could the world simply continue?
Remarkably, everything else about my visit was completely fine. The food was enjoyable. The staff did their jobs well. I harbor no grievance against the pasta, salad, or endless breadsticks.
Except for that restroom.
That restroom was a threshold. A warning. A glimpse behind the thin veil of order separating mankind from chaos.
I entered seeking relief and emerged with questions about sanitation, mortality, and whether a loving and benevolent force truly governs this universe.
Four stars.
Would have been five, but I have seen the yellow waters, and I cannot forget.”
“What a great atmosphere. Food is Fabulous!!!! Most importantly, the Customer Service is awesome!!! We will be back very soon!”

“We called them on Saturday for a last minute birthday party I put together.. they had everything ready so perfectly for us. My husband orders from them on a weekly basis & recommended them for my party. The tacos were a HUGE hit!! Authentic mexican tacos, great rates and their natural juices are extremely addictive. Thank you guys!”

“Today I introduced my client that I spend afternoons with as a caregiver to my favorite yuppie bowls. We had the best time, sitting outdoors enjoying the nice winter weather lol . She could not believe this was a natural everything, in our ALL AMERICAN acia bowl. We will definitely make another appearance here. It was refreshing , delicious and filling. Peanut butter is her favorite too so we are going to try a different one and we also are excited to try some lunch. Maybe soup or shepherds pie we’re thinking!”

“First time there and met Sara our server immediately. We were early for lunch and the first customers of the day. We went with Sara’s suggestion having Gina’s personal pizza, which was plenty for 2. Also reasonably priced $16. We added Pasta Fagioli with 2 spoons so we could taste it. We were surprised by a generous bowl and so delicious. Sara also brought us focaccia bread and dipping oil mixed with spices. Bread was warm and the combination delicious! We took half the pizza home.
We will most definitely be back!!”
“Great food, REALLY DELICIOUS, reasonably priced and or served Alexis made the complete package would give it five stars all day Alexis made it a six star meal.”

“My husband and I go every Tuesday for the delicious fish and shrimp tacos. We also go whenever we want to see a friendly face and a delicious meal. We always sit in Jen's section. She knows us and is always welcoming as is everyone there. The atmosphere is great and I would recommend Finnegan's to everyone!”

“Went to see damon wyans 600 show. Really funny. Service not enough wait staff. By the time i got all my food at the same time it was cold. Waiter Alex didnt care. He was getting tip. When something isnt right you would think they try to right you. They dont!! Food very good!!”
“1. 🚨 I think I just found my new favorite spot… This place has become one of my absolute favorites. Every single thing I’ve ordered has been amazing! The sushi is fresh, the food is packed with flavor, and the prices are honestly hard to beat. You can really taste the care and pride they put into every meal. If you’re looking for a new spot to try, do yourself a favor and check them out—you won’t regret it! ❤️🍱”

“My mom & I stopped in on the day before Easter because we received a $100 gift card, so we got a ham. We were gonna get some other items but the ham used up the whole gift card! Dont get me wrong, the ham was pretty good but if it weren't for the gift card; I would never have paid $100 for a 9lb ham. The store also offers different lunch plates(ham sliders, turkey clubs) or meals & family dinners(turkey pot pie, pot roast, meatloaf, etc) to go on regular days but they weren't available the day before Easter when we were there. However, there were some side dishes & some desserts that were available that same day if you needed them. I will come back to try a lunch special or a family dinner to go one day, now that I know they offer them. The employees gave fine service. You could tell that they were at the end of working some seriously busy shifts!”

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This food truck is hands-down one of the best food spots I’ve ever been to. I’m obsessed with their Chicken and Mac & Cheese Bowl, it’s comfort food perfection in every bite. The creamy mac, the perfectly seasoned chicken, and that sweet, tangy mango sauce? Unreal. Every flavor hits just right, and you can tell it’s made with love and real care. What makes it even better is Mike, the owner. He’s one of those rare people who’s truly down to earth, he remembers faces, orders of regulars, takes time to chat, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and his family. The kind of guy who runs his business with heart, not just hustle. You won’t find better quality or friendlier service anywhere. It’s the kind of food that makes your day better, every single time. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re seriously missing out!”
“1st time having boba tea- loved it! Thank you to owners for helping me choose one I would like!”
“Holy cow, D’Vines is amazing! I’ve driven past so many times and finally stopped in. The wine is great, the charcuterie board was delicious, and Maureen gave the best service ever!! I’m not joking… do yourself a favor and drop in. It’s a fantastic date-night venue and, apparently, have live music, too. It was a Wednesday when we went… the jukebox was fun.”
“Since everything sounded so good and I couldn’t decide what to order. I had the Stanley Sampler. Kielbasa with onions and sauerkraut, a cabbage roll and 3 pierogies. I chose to try 3 different pierogies. They were all very good. But since I am a big jalapeño fan. That one was my favorite! Everything on the sampler platter was delicious!! Including the dipping sauce. I hope Grace’s Taste of Poland returns to Tropia again in the future. Thanks for a yummy dinner tonight! 😋 Holly”
“Fast service, both at the bar & at tne table. The bartender enjoys her job! I wish I had her name, but she is blonde young woman, no more than 25 years of age. She deserves a ton of credit, because not only does she enjoy her job, she is exceptionally good at it!”
“What a delight. We needed treats for an event and I sort of randomly picked Sunny Days. They were great. All of the options for service were easily explained to me.....they showed up as planned, gave treats to the kids of all ages.....and everyone was happy.”
Latest Reviews
“I have never been treated to such great customer service in my life. To start there was this lady yelling at this manager in a black shirt. I later found out his name was Chris. She was beyond a Karen and the way he handeled her astonished me. She threw something at him and everything and he never said a cross word to her. He made she all the customers including her were happy. I wanted to hire this guy for my business because you don’t find good customer service these days. Also, he did outstanding in working hard and going out of his way for fresh food for me. I’m new to the area and I will be telling all my friends to come eat at five guys! Thanks, RG”

Will definitely be going back!”

Rick is a local fish expert and you'll be really glad to know that he's here in Port Charlotte to supply you the freshest fish anywhere in sw fla.”

“JJ and his crew helped our school host our first Spirit night! Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating! your food is always delicious, restaurant is always clean, and you and your staff are always wonderful. thank you again for a great event! we are looking forward to the next one.”
“Veteran-owned, locally run brewery with an awesome sense of community. 🍺 Great variety of beers and a chill, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to hang around awhile. The staff is friendly, efficient, and clearly enjoys what they do. There’s always something going on during the week, which keeps things fun and interesting whether its catching the game or trivia night. Definitely check out their Sunday Bible study as well, it’s relaxed, engaging, and far from what most people picture when they hear “church.” Overall, just a great spot with great people and even better vibes.”
“I had an excellent experience at Starbucks in Port Charlotte, Florida! The entire team was friendly, welcoming, and provided outstanding customer service. I especially want to recognize Grimm for going above and beyond. She is such a wonderful person—kind, professional, and always has a positive attitude that makes every visit enjoyable. She truly cares about her customers and makes everyone feel valued. Employees like Grimm are the reason I keep coming back. Thank you for the exceptional service and for making my day brighter every time I visit!
