“Great dinner with a local favorite. New owner Byju was friendly and welcoming — he even brought treats for my dog. The food was amazing. Definitely recommend!”
“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".”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We are regular customers and always loved Donato’s. Tonight’s dinner was disappointing. The fresh mozzarella is our favorite and it is usually spectacular. Tonight, not so much. It obviously was not pulled fresh as usually is the case and what is advertised. It was dense and obviously not fresh. The entrees were fine but my wife’s lobster Ravioli showed up about ten minutes before my veal parm was brought to the table. Overall, dinner was fine but it wasn’t the usual experience we are used to. We will be back because the thought of having to stop dining at Donato’s because of a decline in quality is depressing.”
“We have dined here dozens of times and it's always great! The best stuffed jalapenos I've ever had. Great Calamari. And, the Sushi is always fresh and good portions. Highly recommended”

“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.”
“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”
“Went with my family and enjoyed the variety that this restaurant has to offer. Everything was well made and service staff friendly and efficient. Would recommend visiting this restaurant!”
“The wine is wonderful and worth trying if you haven’t been there. Karaoke is fun and some really good singers on Friday nights.”
Outdoor Dining
“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!”

“We had the best time at breakfast. The menu was plentiful with options for all taste buds. The waitress Heather was super helpful letting us know the specials and answered all our menu questions without annoyance. She was very knowledgeable and you could tell that she cared and wasn’t just trying to rush us. The fresh squeezed orange juice was SO good. Very clean and friendly staff all the way around.”
“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….🤷🏻♂️”
“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!”
“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.”
“We had a fabulous dinner tonight at Prime Serious Steak in Port Charlotte. The food was excellent as always and the service impeccable. The manager was very friendly and the experience was great. I encourage you to check it out asap.”

“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!!”

“I had an afternoon meal on my trek along I-75. I had my usual chicken and dumplings with green beans, mashed potatoes, fried apples and biscuits. It was delicious, hot and fast. The waitresses worked together and kept food and drinks moving. The management team was meeting at the big table beside me. It was exciting to hear them planning positive customer experiences for the coming holidays. The company has made notable improvements with a return to high food quality and large portions. Many thanks from a life long fan”
“I just ate lunch at healthy pho and it was excellent as always . I had the chicken soup and jasmine tea . Janell was my server and she gave me excellent service. She was very helpful and pleasant. She made the whole experience that much better ! I highly recommend this place !”
“We went there with a large group including two little 2yr olds and the waitress was absolutely great and kept up with our drinks and even brought my two little 2yr old grandsons a pack of crackers while we waited for our food the wairess name is Heather and when we go back we will be asking for her. She was awesome”
“I have been dissatisfied with every single pizza I've had in Florida until going to Gina's. The crust is amazing! Crispy, flakey with flavor not flimsy or hard, burnt on the edges. Service by Diane was top notch! After 6 years full time in Punta Gorda we have finally found our go to pizza place. We did order bruschetta, zucchini fries and focaccia as our appetizers, again wonderful. All our food was hot and fresh. We will be back often and getting take out for the rest of football season. Very clean restaurant and a full bar.”
“Amazing food!! They make fresh guacamole right at the table in front of you - so delicious!! Well worth the trip”

“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!”
“There’s so much good to say about Black Sheep, but I’ll start with the drinks - they are so amazing! The creative combos and holiday specials are so yum! I love that they have sugar-free options too. The best part of this place for me is the people though; the owner and kavatenders are super awesome people who really know their product, and so are the other customers. They’ve all become like family. The atmosphere is so super chill and fun, and we love playing pool on Friday nights. Black Sheep is 10 out of 10 all around and hits all the marks for a Kava bar!”
“All-Star has become a local favorite of ours. We have had lunch quite a few time, breakfast twice, and have stopped in many times for drinks and the entertainment. The food and service have always been outstanding. The entertainment is awesome. We highly recommend trying them out.”
“Great service, great food! Our server was outstanding—so personable. The owner even came to our table to have a nice chat. We’ll definitely be back. Very authentic food”
“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!”
“We have been meaning to come check this place out and it didn't disappoint. Such great deals on name brand snack cakes and fresh bread. My bill was half of what it would have been at walmart. Everything was still in date. The wonderful woman working was so kind and helpful to my husband and I. Even though she was getting ready to close up, she made us feel welcomed and not rushed. Will be coming weekly!”
“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!”
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”

Enjoyed the atmosphere and looking forward to the option to dine on the patio. Pur waiter informed us that they have a buffet on Fri-Sun. With vegan options!! No complaints. Will definitely be going back!”
“Ricks is a 5 Star + local gem of a seafood guy who will even deliver if appropriate. I've had the best fresh salmon I have ever had in Fla by way of Ricks seafood. 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.”

“Was at the Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda Fl Applebee's yesterday. The food was great (Ultimate Trio appetizer) with great portions, BUT after paying I chose the TEXT RECIEPT and put my phone in your little tabletop payment machine. I NEVER got a text with my reciept. This is the SECOND time this has happened!”
“I used their automated service and paid in exact change. I’m 70, so I had problems placing my order . Did not get it right until my 3rd try. As a consequence, the order was duplicated. Fortunately, I’d kept my receipt, and showed it to the server. She took the order back to their kitchen to throw it away, but two young men had just walked in from their job pouring concrete. I asked the server for the duplicate order, and gave it to the two workers. It was a hot day in SW Florida, I was glad to give them a break. One of them helped me to my car. All in all, it was a good experience, and I appreciate the service, but I would appreciate the opportunity to talk to a service, rather than relying on the automated system in use.

“Love the Cod Fish basket with fries) Best we have ever had, better than in New England! it was only 55 degrees in SW FL (Pt Charlotte) tonight so we asked for coffee instead of soft drinks. They made it fresh for us & it was fabulous. Better than Dunkin or Starbucks! WOW. And your employees are super nice.”

“I had such an amazing experience at this pizza and wigs spot! 🍕From the moment I walked in, the vibe was welcoming and unique—definitely not your average place.
The pizza was absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality. And the wigs? Stunning! Great variety, well-styled, and the staff was super helpful in finding the perfect fit.
What really made the visit stand out was the customer service. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and fashion like this!
Highly recommend checking it out if you want great pizza and a fun, memorable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Tried Big D’s for the first time about 6 months ago. It is our go to place for a morning treat. The donuts are fresh and soft. The bagels are the same. Other breakfast is fantastic. They have great coffee. Lots of options. There’s no comparison around, I promise. Also the staff and owners are thee nicest people with top notch service. Had to leave a review after always having a 5 star experience.”
“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.”
“Man I was impressed It was fast and worth the money, how ever I would pay extra if they brung back Carolina reaper hot sauce for the flavor I been craving that hadn't have that in years but other than that I was satisfied but they need more flavors but other than that hands down the best place I been to in a long time its worth it and I recommend it. Plus it took them less than 5 minutes I was impressed.”
“The quality of coffee and service is great. The sitting area is nice, clean, beautiful. The issue I have is it is SO COLD inside. I have a hooded sweatshirt, long pants, socks and I'm freezing. I mentioned it to the staff. They affirmed that it is cold and thanked me for letting them know but it doesn't seem that they are or can do anything about it. My estimate is it's probably 65 in here and the AC is blasting away. Really miserable experience and I hope it gets fixed for the future.”
