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!“

“What a great place. The atmosphere was great along with the food and great staff! Highly recommend and will be back!“

“Staff is very friendly and food is amazing. Great atmosphere and views on the outside deck.“

“Great place great food great staff“

“Found Barunch via The Festival of Lights. They did beautiful takeout boxes for us, and the Chopped Cheese and Chicken Caesar Wrap were both excellent! We have since dined in, and another wonderful experience. Only wish that they were open longer! :)“

“Our favorite place to eat in FMB! Love Moms!!“

“Met friends there this week. Malakai was our server. Had a great time. He was totally informative and a lot of fun. The food was delicious. Will be back. Sat outside. Very nice.“

“They have the best Custard I ever had“

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

“I used to enjoy going to Masala’s… but they have become inedible (don’t waste the money).

I tried Indian Breeze and I am SO THANKFUL to have found good authentic Indian food in town again! I ordered the Tamarind Eggplant, Chicken Chetinadu, Cucumber Yogurt Raita. The eggplant was flavorful and beautifully plated! The chicken had the perfect amount of spice and great large pieces of chicken, good portions.
My waitress Annalise was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, friendly, and very good at her job. I’d come back just for her, but I’m happy the food is excellent too!

The atmosphere is beautiful, decorations are nice! The receipt holders are also really cool!“

“My favorite restaurant - fresh food and wonderful staff.“

“Fun atmosphere and great vibes“

“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!!!“

“I've been here a few times and always have great service and food. Haven't had something from the menu that I didn't like especially the surprise desserts. Our daughter loves the smoothie bowls and little play area. This is a nice relaxing spot for really good Vegan food.“

“Always good food good service and brownie dessert rocks“

“Unbelievable service and value. We are down here from Ohio and have dined here twice this week. Met the owner (fellow buckeye) and wish him and the entire staff all the best!“

“Absolutely loved Big 8’s. I had the brisket, 2 ribs and potato salad. Everything was delicious and I have enough leftover for tonight. We plan on going back tomorrow. So glad we found this place.“

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

“Highly recommend this place! Excellent ice cream and good service. It is always a pleasure to be here.“

“On vacation and this place came highly recommended. There was a bit of a wait (Sat night) but worth it. I had the crab cakes that came with a butter keylime sauce. A+ Will return on our next vacation .“

“Everything, it would be nice to see a BLT and a club sandwich on the menu, even half of sandwich people who can't eat too much like me“

“Huge shoutout to the KIND and HONEST TEAM at Doc Fords in Sanibel! 🙌 We’ve been going there for many years and their food is always delicious-one of our favorite spots for a reason. We had dinner there Sunday and a couple of days later I realized my wallet was missing. I called in hoping for the best, and to my surprise (and relief!) they had it safe and sound- with EVERYTHING still inside! So very grateful for people who do the right thing. Thank you for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience! 💙 Annette Nilio“

“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!!“

“An excellent spot, full of creative and delicious treats made with love. Simply magnificent“

“This place is our favorite spot to go whenever we are in town. The staff is so kind and always good vibes. They have amazing live music and the beer is just impeccable. We are From NJ/NYC and everything we drank here was comparable (or better!) than what we have in our area. Big shout out to these folks. They are really wonderful. Highlight of our trip every year.“

“This Cafe was so good that we visited it twice during our week on Sanibel Island! The breakfasts were delicious, and the lunch menus were, too! (Breakfast is available all day…to 2 pm!) Everyone from the servers to the cooks to the checkout people were super-friendly. The servings are generous and the tables are unique objects of art, having designs of shells under glass. I also picked up a beautiful handmade pottery mug from a resident artist at the checkout!“

“Very knowledgeable and patient young lady working yesterday afternoon. She should be rewarded for the number of questions she had to answer (some more than once) from my husband and I. We will definitely be back and hope to see her again.“

“Went out with a friend to enjoy lunch on the water. The food and the staff were just absolutely amazing.“

“Best Bartenders in SWFL!!“

“Spent a wonderful weekend with my husband, staying at the lodge, enjoying the pool and dining on some of the best food in SWFl. Everyone was kind and helpful. Will definitely be back for a peaceful stay.“

“Great spot to visit by boat for lunch. Good food at reasonable prices“

“One of our absolute favorite places to eat and drink!“

“Went on a vacation to Sanibel Island and by far the best food! As a vegan, it’s difficult to eat out and not always the best tasting, but the food here was some of the best I’ve ever had! I was also with non-vegans that loved the food just as much as I did.“

“Favorite place to eat breakfast. Amazing food & amazing people.🩵“

“An absolute gem 💎 in Fort Myers! Great coffee, delicious food, and an awesome atmosphere. I stopped in for lunch and stumbled upon $1 tacos… what a treat! I had the hard shell with a mix of beef and chicken, and let me tell you — some of the best tacos I’ve had in a while! 🌮 The salsa was on point too! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Now I’ve gotta run… it’s time for trivia! 🎉“

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

“We had a reservation last night on arrival they said they had to cancel because the computer was down and could not take credit cards. We said we had cash, they then said it could be a long wait before we would be served as kitchen also relied on the computer. We took our chances went in and waited, eventually had a great meal ! Perseverance is omnipotent , from a mixed race party.“

“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.“

“Went there Saturday, afternoon, Kate was our EXCELLENT waitress. Place was busy and the service - food was still excellent! Sat outside and really enjoyed our time there. It was perfect, thanks again Kate. It was our 2nd time being there and with quality as such, we will be back!!!“

“I ordered something from Beach Pottery- There was an error on my end with Payment and Alanna worked with me to resolve an issue not even hers to resolve. I got my package in just a couple of days, it was so well packed and protected. They truly cared about the quality I received my purchase in, it really showed!! The icing on the cake was a sweet hand written personalized Thank you note!!! 100/10 recommend!!“

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

“The Thanksgiving buffet was absolutely the best! Delicious turkey, prime rib, ham, and all the amazing sides.
