Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Fort Myers, FL

Ana Rivera We, Hubby and I, wanted to give this restaurant a try, so we called to have our Thanksgiving dinner at the restaurant, but the place was closed, so we decided to pay them a visit last weekend, on Saturday the 29th, during the Thanksgiving weekend and we loved it. Aldo, the waiter was amazing, he was able to make excellent recommendations and one of those recommended dishes was the stuffed calamari for appetizers. I will eat that as my appetizer and entree next time we go. It was super good. We ordered the Lobster ravioli and linguini goulash. The goulash was very, very good and so the Lobster ravioli, although the sauce on the Lobster ravioli lacked thickness, but the flavor was good. Pasta is homemade and very fresh. Then for Desserts, we had the creme brulee and the chocolate mousse…Will order these again…they were extremely good, an great way to end an excellent meal. The place was very nicely decorated, very open and excellent for a relaxing meal and conversation. The Owner, Hugo Cardenas came to our table to meet and greet us, it was very refreshing to be able to get that kind of customer service and greeting. Oh, and my Lemon Drop Martini? One of the best ones I ever had…I always order a lemon Drop martini at any restaurant we go to, in different cities and even different countries. This Lemon Drop was made to perfection. My Husbands Cuban Mojito was also perfectly made. I do recommend this restaurant and will come back again.

Little Skittles A fantastic place to visit for a burger. The decor and atmosphere are so well thought out, and its fun to look around and discover all the cool ways they integrated auto and garage themed items into your experience (ex: shop rags for napkins, tires for sinks, gas nozzles for water faucets, etc). Service was friendly and attentive. Food was amazing, and portions were generous. I tried the house-made "Green and Clean" vegetarian burger, and it was the best burger Ive had in a long time. The side salad was large, fresh, and delicious. Downtown parking wasnt too bad on a weekday; parking is not free, however.

Renniel Abreu Very upset they took smoking away. But the bartender paige still made my experience worth staying. Such a nice girl with great menu knowledge. Go see one of my new favorite bartenders!!

Tim Dreher The Lucky Screw iin Fort Myers turned out to be a great spot. The food was much better than expected, the bar was big with a solid setup, and the service was friendly and efficient. There was live music when went, and it honestly seemed like everyone in there was a local. definitely be stopping back in next time Im in town.

Michelle Ta Absolutely love this banh mi & bakery shop! The banh mi is always fresh, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor—the bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the way it should be. The meats are well-seasoned, the veggies are fresh, and every bite is so satisfying. Not to mention their bubble teas, we got their Artichoke Tea, Milk Tea, and Creme Brulee Matcha are tasted perfect! Definitely be back.

Abigail Jackson Daniels The most amazing raspberry Nutella waffle EVER, and their poached eggs and bacon is extremely good! Also tried the blackberry coffee and loved it! Cute little brunch cafe with plenty of provenance and family history. Seating is tight, outdoor seating is pleasant (but not when its raining). Order at the counter and theyll bring the food out to you. Single bathroom for the whole place (wheelchair accessible). Dog friendly!

Marie House Delicious. It might be the best fried chicken n biscuit I have ever eaten. We also had the cornmeal fried cod with grits and eggs. The fish was flaky, true southern grits, and a tartar sauce made with green tomatoes. My granddaughters had Mac n cheese, (it was homemade) and chocolate chip pancakes. I wasnt fast enough to get any other pictures! The only negative is that there isnt anything to soak up the noise from a busy restaurant. Next time I want to sit outside. They hung up my granddaughters picture that she colored before we left. She was thrilled. Her name is Piper and she was excited to share her name with who the restaurant was named for. It was a great opportunity to tell her about Dr Ella Piper and her contributions to Fort Myers, FL.

Patrick Perlas visit april 25: codi, our server was very friendly and awesome. food was by far the best weve had in fort myers (stayed 2 nights) had the mussles, nachos with dip (crab?) the salmon and i forgot what the girlfriend got. place is clean, nice view.

Chipadee McCartney What an incredible experience we had at Blossom and Brie! From the moment we got there I knew the night was going to be magical! The peaceful walk around the property was so enjoyable. We were met by 3 Sandhills Cranes who have taken up residence on the property. We chatted with Rodney, the owner, and he gave us lots of information on the farm and the animals. Once at our seat, we were met by Abigail, our server for the evening. She was pleasant, attentive, efficient and did not rush our dining experience. We started with some refreshing mocktails, The Blossom, with fresh mint, strawberries, lime juice and ginger beer as well as a Summer Lavender Spritzer, blueberries, lavender syrup, lemon juice and soda water. The food was phenomenal! Apple Salad and Heirloom Tomato Salad to start, Beef Bourguignon and Cavatelli Pasta for main and Apple and Boysenberry al la mode for dessert. The Americano coffee was delicious too. The atmosphere is amazing and the view was spectacular! Definitely a must if you are in SWFL!

Liz Allen Been there many times. We always make a reservation. The bread is delicious. We both had prime rib. Perfectly cooked to a medium. My spouse had garlic mashed and asparagus. He said his meal was delicious. My meal was amazing. I had the house salad and it was the best salad I have ever had!!!! My other side was a fully dressed baked potato. The only down side was the location of our table. It was in the center of the room near the washrooms and the beverage/food staging??? area. It was very busy and loud. Not conducive to conversation. On the positive side, I was able to see all of the delicious looking food being carried to tables.

SteeleJoias&Co We celebrated our Friendsgiving at REN’s and it was ideal!!! They were so nice and the food was great! Their special which was lasagna was amazing—— our friends were so happy and shared they will be back.

thyblacksmith Authentic German food by authentic Germans. Everything tasted great. Nice selection of German beers. Immersive atmosphere, from the decor to the German radio music. Friendly staff. I recommend trying their German potato salad. It’s like a vinegary mashed potato twist on regular potato salad, with a dash of chives. The liver dumping soup is quite unique. The broth is salty and savory, and it doesn’t have an overpowering liver taste. You can’t go wrong with the Mixed Sausage Plate or the Bavarian Plate; pairs well sauerkraut as one of the two sides. Their desserts are absolutely stellar. The cheesecake is light and fluffy. The plumb slice with butter crumbles is a perfect balance of bright, fresh plum cutting through the rich taste of butter.

Abby Welch Super awesome burger spot. Very unique and fun design compared to most places. The service was fantastic and so was the food. It came out quickly and hot. Great flavor and will definitely come back for a great date night!

B Denomme If you’re in the mood for some pizza in the downtown Fort Myers area, Capone’s may be your ticket. A restaurant with history and great food. The coal fired pizzas hit the spot. Numerous pizza options, but also pasta and sandwich options. Food had plenty of flavor and was served hot and quick. While you’re there check out the ‘secret vault’

Debbie Castro Very cool spot in Down Town Fort Myers. The food is excellent it’s excellent papardelle pasta nice and thin sauce had wonderful flavour without being too heavy and all the starters were a hit. I wish the pate was seared with a chefs torch before coming out, that would be my only complaint. I my was too cold to enjoy. Torching it like a foie gras would have been a little more enjoyable but that’s my only complaint if I had to choose one. The Server Zachary was STELLAR. A high level of service and attention from start to finish and the girl that was his helper out on the patio tonight was also very pleasant to deal with and interact. Checked up on us a perfect amount of times without being invasive. Was 10 out of 10 for me and I look forward to coming back here. Ask for Zachary if you want a fun and engaging dinning experience !!
