10 Best American Restaurants in Punta Gorda

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

“I have been coming to Elena's for about 9 years now. They serve a fast, reasonably priced breakfast. It is in a shopping strip off of 41 in Punta Gorda. It is not gourmet food but it sure as hell tastes good. The staff is friendly and they are always busy. You may even have to wait in line. I get the same breakfast every time...I know what I like. I have never been disappointed and I keep coming back even though I moved to North Port 5 years ago. It remains my favorite breakfast place. I have tried many others in 9 years..they just don't measure up to Elena's.“

“Very friendly staff, amazing menu. Can’t wait to go again!!“

“Great beer and liquor selection along with awesome food!!“

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

“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“

“The place is always on ?. Gabe is great and every other associate that has served me.

I decided to update. I have come to understand. The drinks are definitely better than anywhere else. I think it is because most of the people dining there have 50 years of drinking experience and won't settle for diluted drinks...

Jeanie Roland is an amazing owner, chef and frequently walks the restaurant to make sure the machine is well oiled. She will even fill your glass.

There is something to be said about an owner that will get in the trenches with their team!

The food is savory from the smell to the last bite. I have NEVER had a disappointing meal.“

“Covered outside seating Excellent Reuben sandwich.“

“Service, food and music was awesome.“

“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“
