Heavenly Biscuit, nestled on Fort Myers Beach was our go-to breakfast spot growing up. (This is also where my little sister’s love for biscuits and gravy began). They are known for their amazing biscuits and gravy and cinnamon rolls. After hurricane Ian, they have shifted to a food truck where you can still get their delicious treats.

A trip to Fort Myers isn’t complete without a stop at Dixie Fish Co, one of our top recommendations for where to eat in Fort Myers, Florida. This waterfront restaurant is located under the Fort Myers Beach bridge and offers fresh seafood, delicious cocktails, and live music. Our go-to menu items here are the grouper bites, shrimp burger, whole fried fish, crab sliders, and so much more. We also have to order a Dixie Tea and a toasted coconut colada as soon as we arrive!
Sushi Restaurant

Blu Sushi is a great sushi spot known for their great quality sushi and their lunch/happy hour specials. We love their lava drops, volcano roll and lychee martinis!

Tacos and Tequila is a fun restaurant with delicious cocktails, a wide variety of tacos, and more. We loved the garden, yoki, and t&t signature tacos, and the carnitas burrito. They have so many different margaritas, including seasonal margaritas that are a must-try and a great daily happy hour from 12 to 6 pm! My personal favorite is the tropical margarita with a churro sugar rim.

A local chain seafood restaurant, Pinchers has multiple locations in the Fort Myers area. We love visiting the Tarpon Point Cape Coral location because it’s located near the Westin Marina. After our meal, we love to walk around and check out the boats. Our favorites here are the soft shell crab sandwich, hot cheese and crab dip, shrimp, and oysters.
