50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Saint James City

“We will absolutely be back! Our ride was perfect, & cool in the shade of the Tiki Bar with a great breeze. Nick played great music & made sure we paused to see some dolphins. He took us to a great restaurant along the water & made sure we had everything for our ride. You should absolutely experience this if you’re in the area!“

“The food was great and you couldn’t ask for a better atmosphere!“

“Great place great food great staff“

“We ate outside and had a delicious breakfast! We will be back absolutely!“

“We’ve had a home on FMB for over 10 years and Mom’s is hands down the best breakfast sandwich on the beach!! 🙌🏻😜“

“Very nice restaurant! Very good food and service! Be hungry, they serve a ton of great Mexican food!“

“Awesome ice cream!!!!! I'll be back!!!!“

“Delicious Black Grouper served blackened with champagne sauce. Great vibe & attentive staff!“

“This place is the perfect casual relaxed Tikki bar. The guacamole is to DIE for !!!! I ordered it on the suggestion of Kat the barlass, whose service was absolutely incredible !! I followed the fresh made guacamole with the grilled ribeye and it was a perfect blend of flame kissed savorieness and a very slight scald flavor to give it some earthiness. The prices are reasonable the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. This place is worth driving out of your way for. You will NOT be disappointed!!!“

“ROB was the best bartender! When we asked how long he'd been working at Dixie Fish, he told us her was new to the bar. He was Great!!“

“We came twice in one week it was so good. They are fast paced with service and the seafood is absolutely impeccable. I will be returning every time we are in Cape Coral. The owners, two brothers, stopped at every table to ensure things were to each customers liking, even though the place was crazy busy. I will be dreaming of a he lobster and scallops for New York.“

“If you’re looking for great food, great entertainment, and great service I can’t recommend BIG8 BBQ enough! Owner Bill was the best host ever!!! We stopped in tonight to watch the college playoff and he was so generous and enthusiastic! Thank you so much Bill for a wonderful evening, and for setting up such a great venue to watch the game. We will never forget it! If you are in Cape Coral you owe it to yourself to pay them a visit!!!“

“Ahhhh-May-Zing!!! Went with a party of 6 and everyone loved it!“

“We love Doc Ford’s, but our last visit was not my favorite… we were upcharged for the fish sandwich and the house wine w/o being asked. We were also seated outside on a chilly day, when we specifically requested indoors. We know it’s a busy time of year with Spring Break, but please be honest and straightforward with your customers, DocFords.“

“Had lunch there today. Food was delicious, service was excellent. Our server Nick was very professional. I was impressed. My first trip to Doc Ford's.“

“Had the best dinner there last night! The shrimp and scallop bruschetta is to die for!“

“GREAT LOCAL CAFE here in SWFL !! MacGregor blvd. has a lot of places to stop in for desserts and coffee. However this cafe offers more. Home-made soups and sandwiches, danish's,and cookies. Atmosphere, is warm, inviting, and comfortable The home-made ice cream is absolutely amazing! "THEY ALSO CATER" highly recommended to stop in become a regular.“

“We love BackStreets fun atmosphere !!! The location is right downtown and they recently did a remodel. The staff and guests are ALWAYS friendly and welcoming. The bar food is really good (I recommend their wings and cheesesteak ). They regularly have live entertainment both inside and outside. And BONUS, they support the community in multiple ways. FIVE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“This is one of our favorite places to frequent. The clean atmosphere, the friendliest staff, and the most delicious ice cream! They serve Love Boat ice cream here and every other place needs to step up their game and get on board. I can't say enough good things and I will again mention the employees whom are truly top notch! We're glad to see them back open after the hurricane because we missed going there for sure. There's adult boozy drinks and "botanical" drinks as well if that's what you want. 👍🏻🤙“

“love this place! we come at least once a week!“

“I seen something about Dubai ice cream and one thing about me is I love my Dubai chocolate so I had to go in . This ice cream was everything I dreamed of, the chocolate and the right amount of katafi and pistachio! It was amazing. A must try!“

“I have been going to Sunflower for years with my late husband and now my new. The owner, staff and food is fantastic . It is literally the family atmosphere that makes it most welcoming .“

“Great vibes, the bartenders very nice !“

“I know I left a review a couple of weeks ago about the store over on Park Meadows I had to come into the one over on McGregor and again the service is unbelievable you go in there kind of feeling like all right is someone going to help me and you end up leaving it feeling like you made a friend there's not too many customer service places left like that I know because I'm out all day and I visit them and Mr Todd is so awesome I placed an order a couple of weeks ago and because it got messed up he actually is going to give me one of what I ordered for nothing on the house who does that anymore if you want a place to just pick up a vape or if you want a place to feel relaxed and comfortable and playing arcade or two and have something to drink I suggest you visit either the Park Meadows or the McGregor location I promise you'll feeling that good even if you lose money lol“

“First time here and the burgers are excellent!!!! Our waiter was really nice and took good care of us. Deffinately will be back again!!“

“This is a must try on the Cape! The menu is interesting. The food is excellent. They have a bit of a unique setup with the main restaurant on one side of a central wall and cocktail lounge on the other side. They have very different atmospheres but both are cool depending on what you are looking for. Note: they have separate outside entrances but you can move between the two without going outside. Also the full menu is available on both sides. If you read my reviews you know I care about the details that makes a place good or meh. In This is what makes 10 Twenty Five above average 1) the food: interesting takes on standard that make this place stand out. The quality is high and consistent. Including taco Tuesday where they present a special taco of the week along with the normal “gringo” tacos. They also offer a soup of the day. Unlike most restaurants it’s actually a home made soup that reflects the unique imagination that is seen in the rest of the menu. The same can be said about the Saturday-Sunday brunch offerings. 2) Drinks: Smart cocktails and an excellent tap beer selections have something for everyone. 3) Staff: Almost all are over the top friendly and they work on a team system so there’s no one person you are dependent on to serve you. They all work together at the bar and tables to make sure you have what you want when you want it, including the check. Unfortunately, I don’t have a bunch of great pics of the food to post but many others have done that before me. Enjoy this cool spot.

Update: 9/17/24: See the new menu in my pics. The “egg roll in a bowl” is our new favorite item.“

“Service was excellent! Robin was very sweet and attentive to our needs! Food was delicious. Great wine selection. Highly recommend!!!“

“Such a great variety of beers - I like mostly lagers and they have a good selection. But IPA and sour selection is even greater.

I love the friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable and helpful bartenders.

I go back at least weekly for the trivia on Wednesday and music on Saturday.

Highly recommend!“

“Things are getting worse in almost all Cape restaurants & bars. But the Dive is doing exactly that - taking "The Dive". Bartender was so bad that we had a beer apiece after he noticed us sitting at the small outside bar. We were so unhappy that we decided to cash out and leave (mind you, the one beer that we ordered from him) and he asked if we had a tab. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 what are you on? Tolerance can only be applied for a certain amount of time and then it runs out; oh, and then people go to other places. That would be us.“

“great live music!!! right on the beach, you will have a great time“

“Can't beat this place. Pine Island folks doing what they do best. We do miss their Pi eland Marina location but we get it. Best Breakfast amd service on the island. Do not overlook their lunch menu as well. Can't go wrong!“

“Always good food good service and brownie dessert rocks“

“Food was delicious. Prime rib was delicious but room temperature. Beautiful place. New owners. The woman spoke in French with my mom which was super duper fun.

Notified waiter of dairy allergy but was served green beans cooked in butter. Wow were they delicious. But I got sick. The chef talked to me at 10:30p at night and is committed to doing better in the future. I will eat there again but will be very clear about the allergy. Delicious food and really nice people!

Dietary restrictions: Failed to accommodate stated dairy allergy of butter on the beans. Received conflicting information as to butter on the prime rib.

Wheelchair accessibility: Long ramp or 5 steps up. Gravel parking lot.“

“We enjoyed our evening at Chocolattes so much! A great menu selection (food was delish), even good options for kids. The coffee was amazing, and I can’t wait to try some of the other special drinks. The vibe is festive, yet laid back and the owners and staff were super friendly and helpful. Time well spent!! Can’t wait to go back.“

“Oh, I so hope the best for the owner rebuilding this perfect restaurant after vicious Ian. This place rates a 5 in all areas! I breakfast here basically every morning regardless how many weeks I stay on Sanibel. Good luck and I’ll be back as soon as possible!??“

“We always say "We don't feel like we are in Florida , until we go to Micelli's" We went there 4/1/25. An excellent, friendly hostess greeted us. Had a wonderful seat by the water. We loved the breeze, boats going by, superb clam chowder, pizza and music. Great service by our waitress. Glad to be back on Matlache. Parking is tricky. We got there early. We love and recommend it highly. A favorite Florida experience. We will be back.😎😎“

“Great food. Atmosphere is amazing with incredible views of the water. Our server, Ernesto was great. Highly recommended.“

“Excellent healthy foods and juices and smoothies. Their veggie burgers are their own recipe, made in-house Their desserts are also wholesome and excellent.“

“Small place but best burgers in town. Even my tween kids love this place. The funky Gouda burger and garlic parmesan fries were amazing. We love riding our bikes here and then sitting outside on the patio. We will be back!“

“Friendly, fun bartending staff that served up some good drinks.“

“Honestly this place is amazing I loved working here and having fun with my family members and I can’t wait to come back to work“

“Clean, cute, and has a fun menu. It felt so freeing to be surrounded by the "unmasked"! The owners were super sweet and friendly. I can't wait to try the whole menu!“

“Great food that is affordable“

“A family friendly environment! Laid back and inviting for a great time with whomever is around. Owner was amazing and service was fantastic! Food was great! Owner allowed us to sample new options like Swordfish and Salmon. Owner was so sweet with our kids making this a memorable experience for them to share for years to come. Highly recommend the "Irish Cannolis"!! Food was authentic and hand battered. Will definitely be returning! This restaurant sits off the main road but it's an amazing hidden gem. Cost was very affordable! Thanks for the tasty food and service!! 🙌🏼👏🏼“

“The only thing that I hate about this is that I waited too long to try this amazing pork. As soon as you pull up to his location you smell a heavenly aroma. I had to stop and take a deep breath. You are greeted with a warm smile! I only live 15 min away but I couldn’t wait until I got home to taste this mouth watering pork! Even my picky eater of a kid asked for fourths! Thank you, John, you have a gift! Good luck to you in the future!“
