Restaurants in Punta Gorda

“On Sept 11th my husband & I enjoyed a delightful and most delicious meal. It was our anniversary and the staff made it even more special. The only downside is when we paid the bill we were not told that the tip would be POS entered separately from our account. My husband checked our account and he thought the tip had not been given. So he made a trip to Carmelo's to ask about why and to correct. He was told the tip was done separately - think this should be told to their guests. Thank you for a lovely evening and amazing food.”

“I love hanging out here and enjoying a coffee. The baristas are so friendly and the overall atmosphere is very homey and cozy.”

“The best place to stop in for breakfast! Fresh muffins and pastries are my favorite. Plenty of room to dine in too.”

“Everything about this place is inviting. The owners, the atmosphere, the lite bite menu and of course, the wine selection.”

“Great coffee shop selling premium everything. Excellent quality coffee with creative menu choices. Wish we hadn't already eaten or we would have tried some of the food. Will definitely come back again.”

“We have been buying our fish exclusively from fresh catch and couldn’t be happier. What made us decide to do that was purchasing a snapper from Publix and it was gross. I said to my husband, we are buying all of our fish from now on at fresh catch. They have the best selection, the freshest tasting fish and friendly service, which is so close by. We have never been unhappy with anything we purchased there.”

“This is the absolute BEST Greek food we have had here! We will definitely be going back! So delicious!”

“Just wanted to express my appreciation for the management and staff. An incident happened today while my family dined at Celtic Ray and the staff was quick to fix the situation. We have had wonderful service and tasty food at every visit, and today was no exception. Thank you for handling a tough situation with ease and grace. We will be back!”

“Excellent serving size”

“We called with a party of 10 and got a recording stating that reservations were not taken. We arrived and were told that there were no tables available and that we should have made reservations. We explained that we tried to and showed the Hostess the Website and number we called. We asked to speak with the Manager to make him aware of the website. Travis introduced himself and seated us temporarily outside( it was not the best of Florida weather this night) and had staff circle heaters around our table and brought us complimentary appetizers until they could accommodate all of us. Travis gave us his personal cell # and in our opinion went above and beyond to make this a Special Evening for all of us. This is not our first time here, but it was with such a large group. Justina was our Server and is Personality Plus The food is always excellent”

“Best place! Definitely recommend! Homemade food. Best Reuben I’ve ever had 👏🏽👏🏽”

“The pizza was absolutely divine.The flavors were so rich and well-balanced,with a perfect blend of cheese,sauce and toppings.Highly recommended for any pizza lover”

“Mainely Seafood Café I wanted a Lobster Roll, so we had to stop by and see what this place is all about. It’s at the right end of Turtle Crossings shopping plaza on Burnt Store Road. This place was neat and clean and very well organized. It is a Café and Market everything inside is simple but fits the décor of a Seafood establishment. We got there around 12 noon and surprisingly we were the only people in the place. Our server Brianna came over to our table took our drink orders fast. They do serve alcohol and soft drinks. For starters we ordered the Creamy Lobster Bisque Soup, a Beer, and some Wine. For the main dish I ordered the Lobster roll Meal with has a ¼ pound of Lobster served on a split top bun with Butter, Fries and Cole Slaw for about 24.00. You can get it cold with Mayo or hot with Butter. I got an alternate side of Onion Rings instead of Fries for 3.00 extra. My wife just ordered the same thing but with the Fries. Our soup came out first and it was very good. Our Lobster Rolls came out shortly afterwards. The looked amazing and they were. The roll was toasted and overflowing with Lobster the butter to pour or dip into was a nice addition. The Onion Ring were done perfect as was the Fries. Even the Cole Slaw was pretty good. Brianna was on the ball asking us if everything was all right and checking on us, but I do wish she was a little more cordial. This is one of them so called hidden little gems and I for one can’t wait to go back. Make sure you put this on your to do list. I must give this place a 5 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Me For Fun & Reviews Gulf Coast Terry”

“First time at PC. I typically avoid restaurants with no windows but despite the darker interior this felt warm and cozy. Staff was very welcoming, good cocktails. Lengthy menu with something for everyone. We found the food to be very good but on the “heavier” side - a bit too much salad dressing, crabcake was 50/50 crab to filler maybe. Brussels side dish very weighed down by sauce. You get the picture. Would go back if in the area again but close dishes a bit more carefully.”

“Went back to Brooklyn Joe's today. Had the sausage with onions and peppers. It did have red sauce and white American cheese on it. I'm sure you could have provolone or something different if you choose to , but the sandwich was very good. The sausage had a good fresh flavor with a nice spice to it. Plus the pizza by the slice is good. I noticed that older people were seated eating plus young kids coming in to eat. Also workers coming in for lunch. The food is good and the place has a good character about it. The employees have a good personality and all seem to be welcome. Thanks”

“This place has great vibes, fantastic espresso/coffee, kava, crushed leaf kratom tea and the best staff ever! 10/10 would recommend you check this place out.”

“Lisa, at the front desk was a great help to me. She not only helped me pay my husband bill but she explained to me how i can bundle my Citizens policy and save. so happy!”

“Best bagels ever. The nicest people ever. Love eating there each week.”

“Shrimp and lobster fettucini, roast beef sandwich and the scallops with gnocchi and brussel sprouts had three different meals all 5 star IMO.”

“This place has the best ice cream I know of on the suncoast! Also, the kids they hire to work there are almost always sweethearts who take care of the customers with a smile, and it's not easy to find good workers like that these days.”

“We just love the food and the vibe at Leroy’s!”

“Honestly I love this place but it can be very frustrating waiting for food sometimes an hour or more. Note the food is always near flawless. Also it would be great if they’d occasionally have some brown ales. Not everyone wants an ipa and I can’t imagine 5 ciders are always necessary.”

“OoOouuuu I love this bar!! Such a great vibe and there is soo much more to it than meets the eye 🙂”

“Awesome food and great service”

“Many thanks to the staff for making our family evening lovely. The food was fantastic and our waitress was so much fun and even appreciate my “Nerd Man” drawing that I created for a laugh w the kids. Highly recommend this place for families and thank you to our waitress for her attention to detail and for making a family gathering memorable.”

“Excellent food and outstanding service from our waitress, Angie! Angie was very helpful in helping us with the menu, suggesting excellent choices. We always enjoy our meals at River city and find the atmosphere very pleasant and relaxing.”

“Went to Burg’r Bar about 5 weeks ago before having shoulder surgery. We loved it. Best burger and fries I’ve had in Florida. We sat outside and our server was great!!! Why do people write about how great it was and then give it 4 stars instead of 5??? I’m in Punta Gorda today (3/18/22) and as soon as I get done with my final post op appointment, we’re headed to the Burg’r Bar again!!! YUM!!!”

“Fresh warm bread to dip in the broth from the Clam's, Sausage & Onion dish...delicious.”

“I always had a great experience food was always good whether we ate in or did take out. but tonight was different ....we did take out the wings were very small and overcooked 20 wings and you only get one little small - very good tasting I might add- container of blue cheese so you ask for another one and they charge you $1. 😵‍💫wish we would have ate in, cuz the wings would have definitely been sent back. the french fries were overcooked too they would have went back also.😥”

“Fantastic food and super friendly service.”

“Their CHEF IS AMAZING. He is definitely a five-star CHEF! Every meal I have ever eaten from F.M. Dons has been "THE BEST OF THE BEST." I DEEPLY THANK HIM FOR EVERY WONDERFUL MEAL I HAVE EVER BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO EAT THAT HE SO EXPERTLY PREPARED. I wish I could afford to take him home AND KEEP HIM. LOL THANK YOU CHEF FOR SHARING YOUR TALENTS AND EXPERTISE IN THE CULINARY WORLD WITH US. AALIENLADY”

“I've been eating here occasionally for years and the food has been consistently good in my experience. The fried rice, wonton soup, chicken with vegetables and egg foo young is our usual go-to order and is always very good. Lots of meat and vegetables, good sauces and seasoning, freshly made and usually enough for lunch the next day. Better than some of the other Chinese restaurants I've tried including a buffet that has always been very popular (why... who knows?). I suggest you give #1 Wok a try.”

“The staff is so friendly and the food tastes great. I’ve eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. A few servers I’ve had really stand out. Ari and Michele do a great job. Bartenders are very attentive too if you end up there as I have a few times. The captains chowder is the best way to start your meal. The view is a nice plus as well.”

“Really good burger, fries & onion rings. Ally was a superb server.”

“Eating outdoors, seafood, the sushi, fish and chips.”

“During our recent visit to the Waffle House in Punta Gorda, we enjoyed a delightful breakfast. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, while my fiancé opted for two eggs, grits, and toast. Both dishes were served promptly and prepared to perfection, resulting in a very satisfying meal. The only suggestion is to put a little less butter on the grits. The cleanliness of the restaurant was very good, however the bathrooms, while generally clean, could benefit from a more thorough cleaning in the future (floor tiles and tops of tiles on wall). Nonetheless, I felt comfortable using the facilities. Our waitress, Christina, provided excellent service, contributing to the overall positive experience. For those seeking a reliable breakfast spot in Punta Gorda, this Waffle House is highly recommended. Even with the $.50 per egg surcharge, the price was very reasonable. I do not mind paying the surcharge. You can tell this restaurant is managed well.”

“Great staff and food! Highly recommend 🫶🏻”

“I ordered online on 12-27-2025. I arrived early so I waited inside.
The entire staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful. The young lady at the register in particular, was a sweetheart and a good soul. Her kindness really made me feel valued. Thank you Arby's on Homestead Rd. for a great experience.”

“Comfortable cool friendly, employee's super helpful, always there when you need them. I spilt my soda and a young man came right over to clean it up . Then offered to replace it , I loved the place”

“Best Biscuits and Gravy in Florida. great people. Mike is a good cook. More then fair on their prices. If you are in Punta Gorda and don't try this place you are missing out. My #1 favorite place for breakfast! 5 stars is my review.”

“The wife and I went for the prime rib special and it was delicious. The staff were friendly and professional. Save room for desert! The wife had the one scoop ice cream sundae and I had the one scoop banana split (both were awesome)!”

“So good! Vegetarian friendly.”

“The best icecream around. Let's talk pros first. Great selections, reasonable prices and decent outdoor seating. Cons - limited parking during busy times and covid leftovers. No indoor seating! Despite having a large building with plenty of indoor space, people are expected to be miserable and hot outside during the brutal summer. Bugs, rain, apparently they don't care while they are comfortable in the AC. Charge an extra buck, nobody would care if they get to be comfortable.”

“Walking into this place feels like stepping into an Italian family’s home; warm, welcoming, and full of heart. From the moment we sat down, you could tell this wasn’t just another restaurant… this is a labor of love. The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish tasted homemade, rich with flavor, and cooked with care, the kind of meal where you can tell the recipes have been perfected over generations. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was bold and comforting, and every bite felt intentional. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the people. You can feel the pride the family has in their food and their service. They treat you like family, not customers, and that warmth makes the experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food made with passion, generous portions, and genuine hospitality, this place is a must-visit. Support local, support family-owned and most importantly, come hungry. We’ll absolutely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We found our new go to restaurant. I called today to ask for a take out order. My husband wasn’t feeling well today and said he really wanted a nice pork belly ramen bowl. I looked up where I could go to get this and this restaurant came up near me. I gave it a shot and called a take out order. The lady who answered was super helpful in helping me with my order since I wasn’t familiar with the menu and was very patient with me. When I got there to pick up, the staff was amazing and made the place feel so welcoming. They seemed really happy and made the whole place shine. They packaged everything really nicely. When I got home to drop my husbands off, he was very happy and it was exactly what he was wanting. I brought mine to work and put it together there since they packaged the broth separately. Was absolutely amazing! Totally made my Friday. I got the shrimp one since the lady I spoke with on the phone recommended it to me based on what I was looking for since I wasn’t familiar with the menu. Amazing recommendation. Will absolutely order from here again in the near future. Prices were really reasonable for how good it was.”

“Our Starbucks Barista’s are like family, we’ve known them for years! There more than people who make our favorite drinks, they’re are friends and a part of our community ❤️”

“We had a family luncheon at this location. As always Beef O'Bradys came through. All our meals came out at the same time and were all hot and fresh. Our server Haven't did a spectacular job taking care of all of us and she did not miss a beat as well. If you have not been to a Beef O'Bradys yet I highly recommend your give them a try.....”

“Heather, the bartender was amazing and we will definitely be back!”

“Lots of choices for ice cream. Several selections of acai bowls...they also have hot dogs and pulled pork sandwiches. I don't recommend the hot dogs. I have been there twice. The employees are very nice and do a great job.”

“It was a great place to eat at, friendly service as well.”

“My partner and I absolutely love Ichi Hibachi. We make an effort to come at least once a month because it is the one place in Punta Gorda that you can consistently get good service, good food, with a nice atmosphere to accompany those features. The owners are very kind and hard working which shows in the quality of their food and the cleanliness of the restaurant. I order the steak yakisoba with the steak cooked Med rare, and it comes out perfectly each time! My partner is vegetarian, and she has never had any residue or signs of cross contamination with meats. It is incredible to even be able to say that since this is an issue we have often when ordering vegetarian dishes elsewhere in town. I would recommend this establishment to anyone coming to the area, and I appreciate the diversity in food options that Ichi Hibachi offers our town.”

“Incredible little spot in PG! I've been numerous times now and each time I leave happy and full. Having never been to Italy, I imagine this is the type of food you would find in the little mom n' pop shops there. Authentic food, cooked from the soul.”

“I've been coming here often for many years. The food is always fresh and amazing, and I particularly enjoy the range of botanicals and oils available for purchase. There are numerous items focused on promoting health and well-being.”

“We tried Elena's yesterday while visiting Punta Gorda. We really liked our experience. Our waitress was excellent. She was very friendly and attentive. Service was fast, almost too fast in that our meal arrived before we finished our salad and soup. The food was fresh and tasted great. I personally didn't care for the gravy (with the chicken dinner), but it was okay. Everything else was great. Portion sizes are large. Prices are very, very good. Their menu is diverse, and I'd love to visit again to try some of their other offerings. Great, cozy ambiance feel to the place as well.”

“Great staff, super sweet!! Love love love the fact that they support the local animal shelter! The inside is decorated so adorable too! Definitely coming back next trip!!”

“This is a wonderful place! Great atmosphere, good coffee, and even better pastries. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite.”

“After a final walk through at Babcock national with my buyers out of state, decided to stop by at this new (to me) restaurant at Babcock . Everything was lovely…atmosphere, friendly service, food presentation..I got a glass of plum wine and lunch sushi/sashimi combo. It was very fresh and tasty 😋. One of the freshest sushi/sashimi i ve Gad in a while , California roll was one of the best i ve had ..w just a bit of rice and fresh fish. I shall return to such s fine establishment: ))”

“Had the Fritto Misto Mercato and the Bang Bang Shrimp. Absolutely amazing food. Presentation, flavour, quality, portion, impeccable.”

“I visited the GF bakery on vacation. We returned every day! They have nailed GF baking! Every thing we tried was amazing, darling storefront, wonderful service. T n D go above and beyond. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Keep baking 😋 💙💙”

“Fun and friendly place we have A great time every time we go.”

“I went to the store next door his bar yesterday to get some food, but as you can imagine, my work truck didn't start. The young woman, who I assume is the bar's owner, stopped everything she was doing to help me get my truck started and gave me a jump start. She didn't give up at all, and she also got an older man, who I think is named Will, to help me get a jump start. I simply wanted to express my gratitude to her and her friends for their kind and helpful assistance.

Thank you!”

“My favorite sunset spot other than Key West!”

“The loaded guacamole is very good! Mango Sunrise was super tasty and made well both times! Will definitely skip the dessert next time! Even though the pineapple cheesecake was gf&great;paying $10 for a lil slice is kinda crazy! The views and atmosphere were great and I'll definitely be back! Very clean bathrooms are a nice bonus!”

“I am new to Punta Gorda and enjoyed a cheese cake and pie at a friend's home. I was immediately hooked! I have purchased many of their baked goods including some favorites that I purchase often. The sour dough bread is amazing, and my go to cannoli pastries that are the best I have ever eaten. Nino's is a local stop I make over and over again! Yum”

“They’re the best. Everything is good and fresh. They have so many options. The staff is very friendly and hard working.”

“Our favorite pizza place. It’s fantastic! Highly recommend!”

“It’s such a pleasure to dine at 88 Keys, especially now that Chef John Ellis is back in the kitchen creating his famous five-star meals. Every dish he prepares is a reminder of why this restaurant has always stood out — perfectly balanced flavors, artful presentation, and that unmistakable touch of culinary passion. Adding to the experience is Cheryl, who has been with 88 Keys for years and continues to set the gold standard for exceptional service. She’s attentive without ever being intrusive, always has a warm smile, and remembers every detail that makes each visit special. Look out Perfect Caper, 88 Keys is setting a new standard in upscale dining.”

“The chicken is literally the best chicken ive ever had! And the honey butter biscuits are amazing, I bought the 32 dollar value meal and it did not disappoint I also bought the pounding bites and a side of jambalaya rice, everything was so good! I highly recommend this place.”

“Very friendly service and absolutely Delicious food! I got the coconut chicken and my husband got the sizzlen seafood (which I also tried) both were amazing and the egg fried rice was top tier! We will definitely be coming back!”

“What a cute little gem! We wanted breakfast but were not sure where to go. My friend found Jellybird and we are so glad we came! Great food, wonderful, efficient sweet staff. We'll be bsck! Maybe lunch next time!! Thank you!”

“They have fantastic sandwiches made with premium ingredients. Just tried the snickers cheesecake and have no words to describe how delicious it was. Visit this store, you won’t be disappointed.”

“There are so many fun-filled activities. I have immensely enjoyed Comedy Night, Wine Yoga and Wino Bingo. The cauliflower crust Greek flatbread is my go to. Family owned business with lots to give back to our community. Check out the artisans wall!”

“Needed a Rum cake for a bday. Only had 1 day to get it. Called all over. No one makes Rum cake in my area. Cakes by Zoe said they'd make it for me. It was delicious and loved by all. While picking it up in the restaurant I noticed the food presentation coming from their kitchen was very good. Also overheard many customers labeling the food "fantastic."”

“Picked up a large two topping pizza for $7.99; They have great pizza at half the price of other local pizzas.”

“There is cornhole tournament every Monday and Saturday night starts at 7:00 p.m. with blind draw. It is an Orioles club.”

“Espectaculares dulces y atractivas ofertas!! Página recomendada por EYIFE TV.”

“I remember going to la Esperanza when they had their original restaurant in downtown Punta Gorda. Juan’s parents owned it and now Juan has a place of his own. Glad to be able to support him and his restaurant!!”

“scoops is my favorite local coffee spot around the ranch. they have many more flavor options than starbucks, consistently good service with friendly ladies that make great recommendations. my go to bevs are iced lattes with lavender honey, coconut vanilla, and vanilla chai, i could go on… i also love that they are open early, and pup cup friendly ☺️”

“The chicken and sides had good flavor just to dry tho was siting awile under lamps...the guy cooking it and puting out was very nice...prices are little high and chicken sandwich I'd stay away from was not like there other chicken”

“Great wings, excellent service and just a perfect local fun bar.”

“The pizza was the best I have eaten in 22 years!!”

“We dined at the Punta Gorda Restaurant and the food was very good with enough to take home leftovers. The server was super. He came and checked on us many times during our dinner. The restaurant is very clean and servers are clean cut & well dressed. I would give the place a 5 Star rating.”

“I haven't been into a subway for 7 years. Amazing service and the sandwich was as good as I remembered. If you want a good hoagie, this is what you're looking for”

“Wonton soup & Vegetable fried rice served fresh & hot. Hearty, savory broth with coarser texture pork filling (very tasty) in dumplings, altho several had pieces of gristle in them. VFR veggies crisp-excellent! TY!”

“Loved the grouper tacos ? tonight!!”

“We called with a party of 10 and got a recording stating that reservations were not taken. We arrived and were told that there were no tables available and that we should have made reservations.

“We eat there often. Great views and good food. Our service from Alex is always the best. She is very attentive and never lets your drinks get empty. Highly recommend the Brewhouse”

“Went back to Brooklyn Joe's today. Had the sausage with onions and peppers. It did have red sauce and white American cheese on it. I'm sure you could have provolone or something different if you choose to , but the sandwich was very good. The sausage had a good fresh flavor with a nice spice to it.

The food is good and the place has a good character about it. The employees have a good personality and all seem to be welcome. Thanks”

“Restaurant was very clean the night we visited. Service was only fair I’m sorry to say. Food was very fresh! I had ahi tuna bowl and companion had shrimp bowl. Views are terrific. Other than under-ripe mango, there were no complaints. I would, however, give the calamari a pass - very thin slivers of frozen calamari in a taste-free breading ? Weird. Still, I’ll give it another try!”

“Great Food and Service, Love the changes we will be back”

“Best bagels ever. The nicest people ever. Love eating there each week.”

“We had dinner last night and it was fantastic. Everything was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend this place.”

“Golden Corral Punta Gorda 5-18-24: Stopped by for dinner at 4:30ish and this place was packed. The parking lot was full and once inside the right side of all the tables were occupied. This place was clean and everything around the food areas were also clean. I have been to this place a couple times as my dad who is 92 loves this buffet and all the food choices. The main food bar is packed with all kinds of food items to choose from. To start at one end is Steak, Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers, Onion Rings, Ribs, Meat Loaf, Fried Shrimp, Chicken Wings, Fried Chicken, Bourbon Street Chicken, Pot Pie, Fried or baked Fish, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Corn, Macaroni & Cheese, Rolls, Baked Potatoes, all kinds of vegetables this is just to name a few. On the Taco bar there is Taco Meat, Shells and all the fixings to make any kind of tacos you want. Now the salad bar is packed with all kinds of fruit, and they also have crab salad. There is so much to choose from and too much to name. The desert bar has all kinds of cakes and pies plus ice cream and some fixings for that. I use to get pie and bread pudding for dessert, it was so good. I don’t care for the ice cream but others in my party loved it. I got the steak for the main course, and they will do it how you like it. The Steak was good, not too tough, and not too chewy, it was large enough. I always get the Fried Shrimp and Mashed Potatoes and they both were good and hot. I make sure I get some Pot Pie as it reminds me of back home. It was hot, full of Chicken and very good. I end up with the crab salad now its imitation crab but its good enough for me as I try to stay away from deserts. This place has never disappointed me as far as the quantity of food they have. It is a buffet and if you want a 5 diamond or Michelin star restaurant this may not be the place for you. If you want a large selection of food and food that is tasty this may be just the place for you. I say try it and draw your own conclusion. I give this place 4 stars out of 5 just for the selection alone. I know we will be back soon. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ See You At My Next Adventure… Gulf Coast Terry”

“Went to Burg’r Bar about 5 weeks ago before having shoulder surgery. We loved it. Best burger and fries I’ve had in Florida. We sat outside and our server was great!!!

I’m in Punta Gorda today (3/18/22) and as soon as I get done with my final post op appointment, we’re headed to the Burg’r Bar again!!! YUM!!!”

“Their Fried Chicken is the BEST! I was satisfied with this location, and will return. My favorite is the one on State St. in Schenectady NY.”

“Had a great visit at PG Culver’s today. Was greeted by a jovial cheese-head who was highly recommending the new chicken sandwiches. We stuck w the butter burgers and he was very helpful & efficient taking our order. His coworker w long blond hair delivered our order to the table in record time. Before we left I purposely went back to the counter to get the cheese-head’s name - Juan wished us a great day. Thanks for the smiles, laughs, good food & efficient service!”

“Really good burger, fries & onion rings. Ally was a superb server.”

“Great food! Owner, Charles Pecoraro is Awesome! Highly Recommend! 🍷🍕🥗”

“Met family there ( Punta Gorda) for dinner. The service was great and attentive. The food was outstanding. I had the “ Tour of Italy” and it was cooked perfectly and no way I could finish it in one sitting. The sauce is probably the best I’ve had since living in SW Florida. I recommend this place to anyone seeking genuine Italian food, you won’t be disappointed. Manga!”

“Comfortable cool friendly, employee's super helpful, always there when you need them. I spilt my soda and a young man came right over to clean it up . Then offered to replace it , I loved the place”

“The best place to stop in for breakfast! Fresh muffins and pastries are my favorite. Plenty of room to dine in too.”

“My husband and I stopped in for the first time and it will definitely NOT be the last. We ordered Gyro’s. We were so impressed with the portions. And the taste was phenomenal. We also took some of his lemon chicken and Greek potatoes home for the next night‘s dinner. And of course we had to get some pastries.”

“Amazing atmosphere with a great view of the TV in a variety of seating options including overstaffed chairs. The hostesses were very nice and accommodating, and gave us a variety of options of places to choose from in terms of where we wanted to sit. I was Marina was very attentive, personable and kind. The tin can nachos were the best nachos that my mom and I have ever had anywhere. We were here vacation just the two of us since we don’t get much mother-daughter time now that I am also a mom. This place is made us feel special and it was a lot of fun to have a dinner out! Highly recommend and if I lived closer, I would make this my go to spot!”

“I also give five stars for Mary the cook, made the best burger that I’ve ever had at five guys on her second day at work. The burger was not greasy. Before I left, I had to thank Mary for job well done. Well worth going again. Thanks Mary”

“Srvc was great & welcoming. Little set up is cute & homey. Food was pretty decent. Ordered some ropa vieja empanadas & arroz moro for my kids, & a pineapple pizza for myself. The cheese was soooo yummy especially w/the crispy edges. Wish the prices were on the menu but no complaints outside of that. I hope you guys continue to prosper & grow your business. 🇨🇺🍕”

“Great food as expected from Panera. This is a new design looking store which is brighter and seems more ‘fast food’ rather than come meet a coworker for a meeting.That’s fine, but it is the first Panera that I’ve been to that has single-use disposable plastic utensils and cups for dine in, which I really hope doesn’t become the new norm for Panera - good thing we brought our own reusable utensils. I love that Panera has always had reusable for dine in. Reuse folks - we are drowning in single use plastics.”

“Starbucks has never impressed me as good coffee, but the service is what keeps the brand name. Dependable formula. Young people serving. I recommend the matcha with no syrup pumps, only white chocolate. This branch has a bigger seating area than others and all glass lookout into the parking lot.”
