Punta Gorda restaurants with food menus

Italia At River City

➤ 127 W Marion Ave, Punta Gorda I-33950-4412, United States

Vegan • Pasta • Salad • Italian

"I made reservations for a party of 14. We were seated in the private room with 2 other small parties, different server. Our table was setup for 12 people. It took a while for the server to take our drink order. She had other tables in a different section to serve. It took 1 1/2 hour before we got our food. My grandkids were hungry. Two of the personalized pizzas were under cooked and at that point my Grandsons were so hungry that they ate what they could so the rest was garbage. The eggplant Parmigiana had over kill of sauce and the sauce was very sweet. My Chicken picata was salty. Trying to get our server to come refill our drinks was a challenge. When I called to make reservations I asked if I can bring a birthday cake as we were celebrating my Mom's 84th birthday. I was going to cut the cake myself but our server insisted on doing so. I brought my own paper plates and plastic fork so we wouldn't need to use the restaurant. We told our server that the 2 pizzas were undercooked. We get our bill and there was a $10.00 cake cutting fee and only 1 pizza discounted half price. This was supposed to be a positive experience as my Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma and we wanted the family to be together to have a positive experience. $507.65 after and extremely disappointing with the entire experience. Italia will never get my business again. My recommendation to them is to have someone assist the server with large parties..when companies skimp on staff, they lose business."

Mercer's Fresh Roasted Coffee

➤ 4678 Tamiami Trl, Punta Gorda, 33980-2900, United States Of America

Tea • Coffee • Cheese • Breakfast

"Omg what an adorable place! Their coffee actually tastes like something, and the bagel sandwiches are really enjoyable. Even if crowded, order your coffee and food, and have a seat in one of their old and mushy comfortable couches or chairs... don't miss this place!"

Carmelo's Italian

➤ 321 West Retta Esplanade, Punta Gorda, 33950, United States Of America

Cafés • Steak • Pasta • Italian

"UPDATED- We met with friends for drinks. We decided to order a take away pizza and some drinks to go. They doubled charged us for the drinks. I didn't notice till I got home and called them. After not hearing from them and emailing- I called again. Steve was very helpful and had my money refunded back to my card. He was nice and apologetic. So everything worked out and we will return. Vegetarian options: I wish they carried more vegetarian options as they're missing out on a large demographic."

The Ice House Pub

➤ 408 Tamiami Trail North, Punta Gorda, United States Of America

Pub • Wine • Pubs • British

"This charming English pub is beautifully decorated and features 10 competition-style dartboards. The venue has three distinct areas: an outdoor covered terrace with its own bar, a main dining area with a bar, and a spacious dart room. We ordered fish and chips and opted to upgrade to cod for a small additional charge. The fish was a lovely, firm white variety that was incredibly moist and perfectly battered. Our waitress was attentive, ensuring our drinks were always refilled and that we were enjoying our meals. I opted for Smithwick’s—a large Irish red ale that’s hard to come by, but I find it to be exceptionally smooth and enjoyable."

Leroy's Southern Kitchen

➤ 201 W. Marion Ave, Punta Gorda, United States

Cheese • Kitchen • American • North American

"Tossing 4.7 . Wife and I came specifically for salad. Not because they have amazing salad options but they did have unique ones and I 'm really encouraging my wife to have more healthy choices. I had the Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese salad with Blacked Chicken You better shut up!!!! I don 't like beets but took a chance and I 'm glad I did. Three roasted beets tasted nothing like beets. The blackened chicken was tender, moist and really good. The roasted shallot dressing was amazing and I had to ask for more. My wife had the Spinach Citrus salad with Blackened Chicken and that one was very refreshing and was well put together. This place is known for their banana pudding so we 'll be coming back to try that and other 'not so healthy ' options . By the way, the service was great."

Perfect Caper

➤ East Marion Avenue, Punta Gorda, 33950, United States Of America

Full • Cafés • Asian • French

"What a great surprise! We were in town to see a boat and were just looking for something ok for dinner. We found this place near our hotel. Old school hospitality, great service and really tasty food. We had the Octopus special which was succulent and very tasty, paired with romesco, olives and Blistered tomatoes. The Perfect Pate was also very tasty and had nice accompaniments. The only minus was the fries were a little oily and the booth was not very comfortable, I would go for a chair next time. I wish we lived closer as that would totally become my special nite Jam. Thanks to everyone from the front to the back of the house"

Taco Bell

➤ 1001 Kings Hwy, Punta Gorda I-33980, United States

Lunch • Mexican • Fast Food • Breakfast

"**Update Below!** I recently upgraded my rating to 5 stars. Initially, I ordered three tacos and a Supreme Burrito, but the Supreme was a bit disappointing and didn't live up to the hype. I regretted not trying something else, even though I used the app for my order. However, I went back to the same place after my friend suggested I get extra meat. The Burrito I had this time was significantly better and incredibly delicious! The wait was around 25 minutes, and I arrived shortly after 1:00 PM. After this improved experience, I’ll be raising my review from three stars to four. I returned at 1:30 PM and ordered two 5-layer Burritos, and they were just perfect. I used the app to place my order while in their parking lot, was third in the drive-thru line, and my order was ready as soon as I reached the window. It was truly a flawless experience!"

Hurricane Charley's Raw Grill

➤ 300 W Retta Esplanade, Punta Gorda, United States

Grill • Pizza • American • North American

"If you can overlook the entrance (which made us a bit uneasy), you'll be pleasantly surprised! We arrived around 2:30 PM, so the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were seated immediately by the water. Our waiter, JJ, was polite and composed, and he offered some fantastic recommendations. I ordered a margarita, and he suggested their raspberry version, which was so delicious that I ended up getting a second one! For appetizers, we tried the ceviche and clams. My husband felt the clams were just okay—not the best he’s had—but the ceviche was really tasty. The Category 4 Hurricane Sushi was outstanding! My husband also enjoyed a heated lobster roll. We would definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again!"

K's Family Pizzeria And

➤ 2000 Rio De Janeiro Ave,FL 33983-8635, United States, Punta Gorda

Pizza • Greek • Casual • Italian

"We just moved to the area and gave it 2 tries, pretty disappointed in the quality and quantity. Over $20 for lunch both times. Pizza was way over cooked, grinder had hardly anything on it, pretty much a bread and mayonnaise sandwich. Whole meatball grinder not one meatball, just mashed meat, cheeseburger was about 1/4” thick and giant roll, again pretty much a bread sandwich. Won’t be going back for a 3rd time."

Mint Asian Cuisine

➤ 615 Cross St Ste 1114, Punta Gorda, Florida, USA, 33950, United States

Thai • Soup • Asian • Curry

"Mint warmly welcomed us, and started by telling us how everything is made from scratch. She said she will tailor her menu to any type of diet, and she said vegan was no problem. Excellent food and service, will most definitely be back. We had the cashew entree and ginger entree, cashew was both of our preference but loved both! Would give 5 stars but not allowed because it's not a fully vegan restaurant."

La Fiorentina

➤ 10361 Tamiami Trl, Punta Gorda I-33950-9323, United States

Vegan • Pasta • Italian • Steakhouse

"First our server was great. I have to start writing server names so I can remember when I evaluate. But we had a reservation from 6:00 on Monday night (10/30) and had the wide table, as in a small room for themselves, somehow. Next, the food. It was incredible. Every article we ordered was delicious. I tasted all the appetizers and entrees. I had the spaghetti Carbonara, and it was shocked full of meat, was so delicious. I need to be happy tonight. Good bread, with wonderful garlic herbal tea diving oil. Men loved their shells. Osso Bucco meat was very delicate and the tomato sauce was thick, dark red and full of taste. Even our wine was good. We will return and I have already recommended it to others."

John Ski's House Of Breakfast Lunch

➤ 502 King St, Punta Gorda, United States

American • Fast Food • Breakfast • North American

"From the beaten path. We were on our way home (SE Florida from the Tampa area and we're looking for a breakfast on the way. We found this place on our Google search and decided to take the 6 additional minutes to our itinerary in the hope to have a quality breakfast experience. Y'all alternative was to go to the cracker barrel right next to the Interstate and possibly minimize the breakfast delay time to get home. We had our chances and we were not disappointed! John Ski 's Breakfast Lunch House is one of the throes places that make it a destination, and not just a stop. From the moment you go, you recognize it's the brain child of someone who serves people with high-quality good food at reasonable prices, and ensure fun at the same time, a vocation. I like the restaurant to one of the places you see on shows like Food Paradise or on Man versus Food. You can see from my pictures, it's fun, energetic and a good mood overall. What you can't see is how good the food tasted, the incredible service (the waiter brought my straw packaging between refills- l love when they do that!, and the feeling that you get when a owner invests fully in the idea, he designed to create an excellent fun breakfast and lunch experience. My wife and I were very satisfied with all aspects of our experience. The food was very delicious - I had the mother Ski 's special and Lisa had the eggs Benedikt dish. We shared the food and honestly, I couldn't tell who was better, how both were great. I had many pancakes left, because the portions they give you were ridiculously large. The bacon was delicious- crispy and delicious. The eggs were cooked as ordered. The Diet Coke had the right mixture of carbonate and syrup. There is a wall of fame for those who can meet the breakfast challenge. The bathrooms were clean (see pictures and the cooks really work hard to get the food in time. We have really enjoyed our experience and recommend you take the time to go from I-75 when you are in the Punta Gorda area; it is worth the additional 6 minutes to get there!"

Pho Saigon Punta Gorda

➤ Tamiami Trail, Punta Gorda, 33950, United States Of America

Soup • Asian • Vegan • Vietnamese

"This establishment is one that has great food. The menu is fairly short, which is great because it means that they really do the few items well that they offer. The service is usually a bit slow, as there’s generally only one server for the whole place but she is very sweet and always ready with a smile. The ambience is a little lacking as most of the time there are several tables that are covered in dirty dishes from guests that have already left. Make sure to get in early, as they close rather early!"

Rita's Italian Ice Frozen Custard

➤ 4255 Tamiami Trl, Punta Gorda, United States

Italian • Ice Cream • Chocolate • Shaved Ice

"Alexis and the team at Rita's truly shine when it comes to serving the best sundaes and providing outstanding customer service! The amazing staff deserves praise for their incredible hospitality. I genuinely appreciate their dedication, and I often find myself stopping by several times a week!"

Harborwalk Scoops Bites

➤ 150 Laishley Court, Punta Gorda, FL 33950, United States

Casual • American • Fast Food • Ice Cream

"First, the deets. Then, a story.This little shop is hidden on the harbor side of the crab restaurant. Parking is free but it 's a real bear to find a spot, at least on a sunny Friday afternoon. The ice cream flavors are multitudinous (and so are your choices of cones), the scoopers are cute and the outdoor seating features spectacular views of the harbor (which is probably why you 'll pay 4 bucks for a single scoop of ice cream in a cake cone.Now, the story: I will go miles for peanut butter. If the ice cream has peanut butter cups, that 's good. If it has peanut butter ribbons, that 's better (but it 's usually ribboned in chocolate ice cream, as it is here, which is a compromise). But if it is actual peanut butter ICE CREAM, well, that 's the holy grail and a truly rare find.Harbor side doesn 't have the holy grail, but its Caramoo is pretty darn good. Now, I don 't have to describe what 's in strawberry or praline caramel swirl, but I took a risk on Caramoo based on looks alone, and I came away mighty happy. Caramoo is premium vanilla ice cream with ribbons of chocolate and, wait for it, mini peanut butter cups. I don 't know why they didn 't call it Peanutbuttapoo, but then I didn 't get a say."

The Blue Turtle Tavern Raw

➤ 139 W Marion Ave, Punta Gorda I-33950-4412, United States

Vegan • Seafood • American • Ice Cream

"The atmosphere here is beautiful, warm, and welcoming, making it perfect for individuals, small groups, or larger gatherings (like our regular group of ten). Plus, the music is incredible! We especially enjoy Mike Imbasciani and his band, BluezRockerz. Mike and the band are exceptionally talented, delivering classic rock songs that always get us dancing the night away! At just 21 years old, Mike's singing and guitar skills are truly impressive, and we always have a great time when he performs. I can't emphasize enough how well you treat your guests and employees—it's evident that you're an excellent manager who truly cares. My friends and I frequently dine out and love exploring new places, and we’re thrilled to have discovered this gem. Thank you to you and your wonderful staff! We can't wait to return! See you soon!"

Isabel Annabel's Mexican

➤ 201 W Marion Ave, 33950, Punta Gorda, United States

Cafés • Steak • Cheese • Mexican

"I really wanted to love this place but... The service was extremely friendly and they were trying very hard, but it was an hour and 15 minutes before our food arrived and we had kids so it was tough to leave wo our dinner. They did keep the chips coming so the kiddos were content ish. The food was ?fine?according to four out of five from our party. The fifth person thought it was ?very good?! You decide. It?s an ok place not great but not terrible. I probably won?t go back."

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

➤ 800 Kings HwyFL 339804218, Punta Gorda, United States

Meat • Coffee • American • Breakfast

"I'll tell ya...There's nothing really better than a trip to Cracker Barrel! The neat little things you find while lazily meandering through their store are like little gems! It gives you a feeling of nostalgia, like you're home and that always feels good! The comfort food at Cracker Barrel is always cooked just like you like it. The staff is always kind and knowledgeable... I love how they come around at dusk and light all the oil-burning lamps. Honestly, it feels like Christmas all year round here!"

The Captain's Table

➤ Maud Street, Punta Gorda, 33950, United States Of America

Wine • Seafood • American • Bar-lounge

"Our dining experience was wonderful. We had a beautiful view of the harbor; the food was fresh and very tasty. We started with a beet, pecan and goat cheese salad which was fresh and so tasty. Our main course was a buttery, cracker crumb pan- seared grouper with vegetables that simply melted in our mouths. We ended the meal with a vanilla drenched cream cake with fresh berries on top and coffee-it doesn't get much better than that, but best of all was our attentive waitress who didn't miss a beat."

Hemingway's Grille

➤ 139 W Marion Ave, Punta Gorda, FL 33950, United States

Pub • Ribs • Pasta • Cheese

"Since it 's recent 6 month debut, this month, we decided to try this venue.. And so glad we did..

Prices were reasonable. Menu simple ,but had variety.. We really enjoyed the Oyster 's Rockefeller, done to perfection in the way it should be done; sprinkled bacon bits cheese excellent! The 1 Entree of Scallops wrapped in bacon and sweet potato grits with spinach was great, The other entry of Salmon and shrimp with brocalli and another grit side dish was delicious..
