“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.“

“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“

“Stopped in to Watson’s for National Ice Cream Day, they did not disappoint! So many flavors to choose from, they all sounded amazing. They have a large variety of toppings, cups sones, eaffle bowls, brownies, the combinations feel endless. The scoops are huge for the price. They were also having a 'Stanley' promotion, bring in your big cup and fill it for 1 price.

The OneBlood bus was in the lot and a 'Stanley' cup was your gift for donating. There was also a food truck.

We chatted with the owner while enjoying our scoops, turns out they have food trucks regularly. They also hold community events like blood donations and dog adoptions.

If you want not only great ice cream but also to frequent a shop that does good for their community, stop by Watson’s. Ask to have them add your dog's picture to their wall.“

“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!!!“
