Restaurants near Florida Gulf Coast University

Our server Josalyn , only 18 and a criminal justice major in junior college, is soo personable and friendly but so efficient and timely with our drinks and courses that it just made our 38th anniversary dinner a wonderful experience to remember! And I cannot thank our hostess enough who arranged a special table indoors for us on literally 2 hours’ notice, when I realized we had driven almost 400 miles the day before,planning to celebrate at Connors and I had thought I had made the reservation but had not! Everyone else treated us royally as well. This is one place where “same old, same old….” Is a GOOD thing, like each time in the past. We now plan to dine at Connors at least once every time we come near Sanibel or Ft Myers. Last year in December, even drove down from Clearwater for the day

Everything was fabulous but I am not a fan of field weeds for my salad. It wasn’t posted on menu what the steakhouse salad had in it. I was hoping for iceberg with romaine. Dressing was great but not the leaf choices.

We love this place! Staff is extremely friendly, food is consistent, always clean. Large menu to choose from so there's something for everyone!

We went on Christmas Day for dinner. Even though we made a reservation, there was, understandably, a little wait for our table. We thought, for a holiday, that a half hour wait for the table was acceptable, even though others complained. My husband ordered the pasta Bolognese and practically licked the bowl! I ordered the ribs, which was indeed a full rack, and...oh...my...gosh. Not only was there an amazing dry rub, the sauce was really good, too. Let me tell you, they were actually fall-of-the-bone ribs! We appreciated not being rushed out once our meal was complete and even ordered dessert! Our server was attentive and kind, and our meal was even delivered by a robot cat! This place may not look like much from the outside but we were really glad we stopped!!

This is our second time eating dinner at South Fork Grill on Christmas Eve. 2024 was much busier than 2023! Quality of food and service did not disappoint! Would definitely recommend.
