“Cheers Bar ! This is a fantastic spot to stop at on the way on or off the beach .“

“Just got back from my first visit, and it sure as hell won't be my last! incredible vibe, super personable staff, and down to Earth patrons. I was even lucky enough to get an impromptu live music performance before dipping. Thats how cool this place is. Look no further, THE place for libations and comradery in the Cape. Obviously, highly recommended.“

“We love our Little Moose, mainly because of the staff! Linda and Kendra are fantastic as they usually have your beverage ready for you. Menu is pretty basic, but very good quality and value. Burger basket and the Philly Sandwich are darn good. Wednesday's $8.00 cheese pizza and $1.00 toppings is so good and one thin crust pies does the trick for my wife and I.“

“overall very good. we both got the steak with different sides. it was cooked just right and both of our sides the mash potatoes and Mac and cheese were really good. we are not big fans of fish but they did have few other choices for us to eat which is nice to see. service was good tho I felt rushed but also had to wait so it could have been a little better but other than that it was so great experience.“

“Stopped in last night to check out the out door bar. Its is fantastic the staff are great. Cold beer 🍺“

“Went with some friends for their birthday! Got my patron margarita with a sugar rim! They didn’t disappoint. There’s also a really great cocktail menu that has above and beyond drinks“

“Nice laid back neighborhood bar!! Clean, cold brews and friendly bartenders!! And can smoke while having a beer!“

“The Dek Bar is a fantastic spot to grab some drinks and enjoy excellent bar food! It has that perfect dive bar vibe—laid-back, fun, and full of energy. When we visited, the place was definitely happening and packed, but the vibe was so welcoming and lively, we didn’t mind at all.

The bartenders were awesome—super friendly, attentive, and fast despite the crowd. What really impressed us was the food. For a dive bar, the quality was way above expectations! Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh, and hit the spot.

If you’re in Cape Coral, I’d absolutely recommend stopping by. Whether you’re looking for a casual drink or a great bite to eat in a fun atmosphere, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back! Five stars all the way!“

“Pleasantly surprised as first-timers & came back again the next day!“

“Amy is the best. Smoking hot and a great pourer“

“We had the best meal we have had on FMB since we bought a rental here in 2018. While we loved Bonita Bills, Bonita Fish Company is top notch! I loved the corvina fish with the street corn and glazed carrots and my husband had the stone crabs. Lisa was our server and was outstanding. Will highly recommend BFC to our renters.“

“Kava is a great place to chill. The staff are great. 😊💖“

“Found this place after a Google restaurant search. We used to come to Ft Myers Beach and stay at The Outrigger. Hurricane Ian destroyed that place so we opted for Margaritaville. After and long pool day we discovered Petey's. Wow, this place is great. The staff is super friendly, and accommodating. The hostess was kind and Sat is at a high-top table. We ordered the Mahi Tacos and the Grouper wrap. While waiting for our entrees, we requested conch fritters. As a local a homestead, Florida Keys person, these conch fritters put those areas to sheme. They were full of conch meat and wonderfully cooked. The tacos and wrap then followed and were as great as the conch starters. Let me not forget about Amanda, our server.vGreat service, great recommendations for food and just so nice. I would whole-heartily recommend this for any size party for food, fun and music. I will definitely be back and if I can get Amanda as a server, I may never leave. Anyway, come here, enjoy the atmosphere, the food, the fun and the desserts. Cudos! You have a returning client Everytime I'm in Ft Myers Beach.“

“Went there to play pool and have a few cocktails and beers, but the table was being used for bingo. So, we played bingo. Their bingo is free but they give away prizes. Their drink happy hour is great. They have Stoli.

Parking: Spots out front are plentiful, but go quickly. There's also parking in back.“

“Would like to thank everyone for the hospitality and not drooling all over me. I had a wonderful time. Tell Tom (Tequila & Budlight) thanks for inviting me to his favorite place.“

“Greatttt elks 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“Freaking awesome Dive Bar with super cheap drinks. Don't Expect to get a pat on your back if you're feeling down. Get a spine and man (or woman) up. If you're lucky enough to see Tina , make sure you call her Red Queen and give a curtsy.“

“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!“

“Food was great! Service was friendly“

“I don’t really remember the food a whole lot, but what I can tell you is that I bought a tee shirt from this place over ten years ago and it has been the highest quality tee shirt I’ve ever owned! Wash after wash, it just refuses to die! No bacon neck, no stretching out, no fading… nothin. If you are ever in the area, please consider purchasing a tee shirt from this establishment. If they are anywhere near the same quality as the one I have, it may still look as good as the day you bought it when you are wearing it in your final hours on earth. Thank you for the absolutely stellar tee shirts!“

“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!!“

“Our waiter Kitch was awesome! There were 4 of us and we all had amazing dinners.“

“I had a great meal with the Blackened Salmon Salad. Equally nice was great customer service rendered by the Hostess Alex and my amazing Server Selina. This is a superb restaurant and I would highly recommend everyone drop by for fine service and delicious food. Joseph Cofield Very happy customer Naples, Florida“

“We had an amazing meal the Grouper and the Sea Scallops were amazing the recommendation came from Dave our waiter who was fantastic! Key Lime Pie was a great finish! 5 Star!“

“This resort was absolutely incredible! It was extremely kid friendly, we had so much fun and every single staff member was so kind and made the experience here amazing.

The men at the bar were professional, fun and very helpful. Jon, Leo and Calen made our experience a memorable one and we will definitely be back!“

“The servers we had last night at Froggy’s were amazing! We showed up on a busy Friday night with a party of 16, no open tables and they opened the patio for us. We had Tiffany and Audi as our servers and I’ve never had such attentive and fast service. Our party even grew 9 additional people and nothing slowed our service. We tried 5 pizzas-each one was awesome. Everything we ate came out quickly and was delicious. Bonus—the live music for the evening was rocking! Highly recommend!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Gather while staying at the Westin for a long weekend. Everything was outstanding. My grandkids enjoyed the burgers, the steak and risotto on the two nights there and they loved the mock tails and desserts. Brunch was also excellent with the best sausage gravy ever. We look forward to our next stay and eating at Gather again.“

“We hosted our 20 year high school reunion at Nice Guys and they were incredible! They communicated everything so clearly and were great to work with. On the night of the event they accommodated my group so well. The servers were fantastic! Tieryn (the event coordinator) was top tier. Thank you so much for an amazing time, Nice Guys!“

“This place was festive with a very positive atmosphere. The food was really good, especially the crab. The service was very quick. Our server was inspired and really made the whole experience, that of a friend you haven't talked to in a while and just immediately reconnect.“

“We had a fantastic Sunday with our feet in the sand, enjoying a great live band. The vibe was perfect, there was a wide selection of cocktails, ice-cold beer, and the food was reasonably priced. We absolutely loved the place!“

“Love this place. Great location. Can't wait for the building to be open“

“Heerlijk gegeten! 10 out of 10!! 🥰“

“Atmosphere and food were Fantastic. Our waitress Lish T. was Amazing. We will be back for sure.“

“We had a great time rocking it out at Rack’em Saturday night. The staff were great . A special shout out to Bobby for mixing our sound. It’s a great place, so come by and hang.“

“Last night our Saturday morning running crew swapped running shoes for pizza and beer at Blue Moon Pizza, and it was such a great choice. We settled in to watch the U.S. Open and were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. The crust was light and airy, the toppings fresh, and the flavors spot on. I went with the Margherita pizza—creamy, flavorful cheese paired with perfectly roasted cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. Absolutely delicious! Everyone at the table agreed the pizza was a winner. Blue Moon is under new ownership- (Gretchen Wilson), and from our experience, they’re off to a fantastic start. Great food, fun atmosphere, and a place we’ll definitely be returning to. Cheers to them! 🍕“

“Great spot for amazing food and music! We love that they support live music, always a fun time!“

“What a great place. We stopped here for drinks and appetizers during a visit. Everything was delicious and our server Jesse was awesome. I would definitely come back.“

“This was great for our souls in the midst of hurricane rebuild. Great atmosphere. Great food and great staff. Thank you Kylie!! You rock.“

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and everything was incredible! The waiter was genuinely friendly and did an excellent job. The lighting was not too bright and not too dim. We started out with the ciabatta bread that was served with a delicious pumpkin butter! To die for! We both had filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly medium. We cut through it like butter and it melted in our mouths. I got a baked potato that was cooked perfectly, and he ordered loaded garlic mashed potatoes that had cheese and bacon. Awesome! The asparagus was so crisp and yummy! For dessert we shared the caramel apple crumble with vanilla bean ice cream. So good! I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. This was one of the best meals we have ever had.“

“Loved Ralph's Place! Cool bar with better than average pub fare presented really nicely and at bargain prices. I was surprised with how soft and fresh the Kaiser roll on which I had my grouper sanwich was, and the steak fries served in a lil mini french fry fryer basket. Cool! It's a sports bar that's nicer than a dive bar without being upscale and pretentious or stuffy. More like a neighborhood bar feel. You'll love the vibe and crowd! Our caf waitress Sky added to the vibe. Live entertainment is what brought me in. Enjoyed the sounds of Soapy Tuna (lol) name is funny but they effin rocked! Sounded like a fuller sound than the trio they were. Highly recommend!“
