23 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants 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.“

“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“

“Excellent serving size“

“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.“

“Best ice-cream every. Easy parking and good prices and selection.

Parking: It's in the Winn Dixie lot, next to H&R Block taxes.

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking in front with a ramp to the sidewalk ?‍♀️“

“This one of our favorite spots to enjoy delicious homemade ice cream. They have a large variety of flavors as well as nondairy ice cream for us that are lactose intolerant. We brought our dog with us, and to our surprise, they offered her a free “doggy dish” for her to enjoy! Needless to say she lapped it up. We were quite thankful! You guys are the best!“

“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!!!“

“Awesome food and great service“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Excellent coffee and helpful friendly staff!! We were there for the first time and weren't sure what we wanted to order but told them what we liked.... what we received was spot on and delicious! They also had a wonderful selection of tea, smoothies and food. A very quaint and comfortable atmosphere - We will be back!“

“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!!“

“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 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 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.“

“Great experience, lots of merchandise , super friendly people! Got an amazing gift for my coworker-he was super happy w his Trump win shirt and a Trump cocktail glass 🍸!!! Def I ll be back to such an awesome 🤩 business in heart of 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“

“Glad they aren’t closing, they have a wonderful atmosphere; great music. Food is amazing, always super hot. We like our food to be hot when it reaches the table.“

“I drove from Clearwater (100 miles) to try the AYCE Blue Crab ? last night and was extremely satisfied with the service and the food! The crabs were cooked to perfection and the waitress checked on me quite often for refills! I will be back for sure!“

“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!“

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