We Live in Punta Gorda and thought we'd try a different restaurant than our norms so first time at Don's. Nothing special or outstanding that makes us want to go back. The dinner meals seemed OK but wish they offered bread or side salad with the entrees. There are so many other local restaurants to choose from that offer more.

Went here first for Thanksgiving dinner. The traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner was EXCELLENT! Went back a couple of nights later. We had the meatloaf and beef bourguignon. Both EXCELLENT!

For three years of snowbirding, we have heard wonderful things about this place. As we live 30 minutes away, we finally gave it a try tonight. I’m so angry that we have not tried this place earlier!
We were fortunate to have Denise as a waitress. She gave us excellent recommendations, and was a consummate waitress for us knowing the menu and wine list very well. From continually filling water glasses to her spot on service, she is excellent at her job.
She explained the special for “off-season” in October, which is a specialized menu with soup or salad, an entrée, and a dessert for a mere $29 (Monday-Thursday). Though we had not come in for the special, we each ended up ordering off of this menu as the items we wanted to try were on this specialized menu.
We could not be more happy with our selections!
First of all, their wine list has something for everyone including a lovely selection of glasses, coupled with a fully rounded “by bottle only” selection. There is something for everyone and at many different price points. I am somewhat of a wine connoisseur, and appreciated their selections from California and abroad.
I tried the potato leek soup, Husband had the salad. Both were flavorful and exactly what one would expect made with fresh ingredients.
Next, our dinner selections. Husband tried the pork chop, I tried the bison meatloaf. (Don’t laugh – it was a chilly night!)
These selections were definitely made in-house. Full of flavor and excellent vegetables aside the entrées, this was comfort food on steroids.
To top off the night, we split one of the included desserts and chose to take one home. The Key lime pie was absolutely fresh, and intertwined the perfect amount of tartness and a graham cracker nutty crust.
We literally had the perfect dinner tonight. My only disappointment is that it took us multiple years to try FM Don‘s.
If you are in Southwest Florida, do yourself a favor and try this wonderful place. It is evident that it is somewhere locals come, and they also draw from surrounding communities due to their Incredible meals. And best of all, they take reservations!
We will be back…. SOON. Five stars!⭐️

We come here every week for date night and absolutely love it! The food and service are always excellent, and we’ve even gotten to know Kori on a first-name basis—she knows what we like and always makes sure we’re comfortable in our favorite spot. Consistently a great experience, and something we look forward to week after week!
