26 Best American Restaurants in Punta Gorda

“I enjoyed my experience. Waitress "Sue" was on the ball .very attentive. Food TASTED DELICIOUS. I been back 2x after first visit , realize maybe I was in a dream world the first time I went. The second and third time wasn't so great. What's the building needs to upgrade the bathrooms really need work. The timer service from time of ordering wasn't so great the second and third time. Even had to ask for a refill for my cup of coffee. Probably because I didn't have my original waitress from the first time.“

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

“We had another wonderful dinner . Service and food were on point . We enjoyed the boom boom shrimp as an appetizer. Our entrees consisted of ….. Maddonini Chicken & Italian Sausage* , Portuguese Steak , Boston Baked Cod and Shrimp with scallops and the special pork dish. All were cooked perfectly“

“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.😥“

“Delicious cauliflour pizza.“

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

“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“

“Top notch burgers and always fresh,so far they have not left out any items and me and my fellow workers eat here 2 to 3 times a week they actually check and double check as they hand you your order,the best not so fast fast food,try it you'll love it.along with always friendly staff there just a great place to enjoy great food“

“Service, food and music was awesome.“

“Food was amazing. We had the tuna tartare, salad with Gorgonzola and pears, the NY strip and Scallops. We ended the meal with a ginger bread ice cream sandwich with dulce de leche ice cream and a nice Italian espresso. Our waiter Zack was helpful and gave us great recommendations. Honestly one of the best meals I have had.“

“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!!!“

“Okay... so after having a conversation with my clients today about how most of the restaurants around here are a total disappointment, we decided to go out to eat and give it a shot. I've been to Leroy's 3 times now and it is has been amazing every time! So I'm writing this review-5 stars ! We had the 24oz ribeye steak with mashed and Mac and cheese, it was killer! The fried chicken is fantastic along with the banana pudding. Definitely give this spot a try. They got hit pretty hard last hurricane season, so go and support them. You'll be happy you did.“

“Fantastic food and super friendly service.“

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

“This is such a cool spot to enjoy a beautiful view of the water. It is definitely worth going up there for a drink or two. They have umbrellas for shade. We didn't try the food.“

“Pretty good food, the game area is amazing for kids. I've been going there since my son was 2 years old, he's now six and has just as much fun.

The food is pretty good and quick the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend hanging out there on the casual night with the fam.“

“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“

“Cleanest Waffle House I’ve ever visited!“

“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.“

“Delicious Italian bakery! So many great options and even healthy egg choices! Our 3 kids loved it and was a great spot for a quick breakfast. The pastries are amazing and very friendly staff. We will definitely come back next time we are in Punta Gorda.“

“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“

“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."“

“We’ve been here a few times, and it always seems like they’re a bit understaffed—usually just one waitress covering the entire restaurant. Even so, she handles everything effortlessly and never misses a beat. I wish I could remember her name because she’s been our server every time, and she’s absolutely fantastic. The food is great too, but it’s the outstanding service that really sets this iHOP apart from the rest.“

“Excellent food and service!!! Large portions! Very clean!“

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

“My favorite sunset spot other than Key West!“
