As I'm using the Publix nearby while mine is under construction, decided to try this place across the street. Server was great addressing an issue (that turned out to have been a misunderstanding) regarding the teriyaki salmon; the dark pieces were purple sweet potato rather than beets (as I'd feared). That item was fine, though not sure I'd get it again. Bloody Mary was both spicy, and a bit watery, at the same time. Their house beer was a better option. If I sound as though I'm complaining, I would return! read more

Dining Experience Review March 3 ,2026 Menu Impressions My initial impression of the menu was disappointing. I chose to order a pizza specifically because it featured eggplant. However, when the pizza arrived, it was burnt and the eggplant topping was limited to a few small, scattered pieces, which failed to meet my expectations. Gluten-Free Options and Service I invited a friend to dine with me after seeing that the menu advertised gluten-free options. Unfortunately, the restaurant was not accommodating when it came to ingredient substitutions. They insisted on charging extra for any replacements, and the portion served to my friend was so small that it resembled a sample rather than a full meal. Overall Recommendation Based on this experience, I do not plan to return and cannot recommend this restaurant. While the service was adequate and the staff were pleasant, the restaurant was noticeably half empty during our visit, which may reflect the quality of the experience offered. read more

WOW... and not in a good way. Yesterday, February 7, 2026, I went to Food and Thought for lunch with a friend visiting from Miami. We were looking for a healthy option, and since I had only ever gone there for drinks, we decided to finally try the food. We ordered the mushroom soup and shared the eggplant meatballs. The wrong soup arrived first, and our waitress was mostly nowhere to be found. One server, however, was truly excellent and the only person who seemed to know what was happening. I wish I had gotten his name because he was the only good part of the entire experience and the only reason this review gets two stars instead of one. Now the food... honestly shocking. All three items we tried were simply nasty. Not disappointing. Not underwhelming. Just bad. I expected far more given the reputation behind this place, which made it even more surprising. I will not be going back. The menu needs a complete reset, and the food needs to be seriously rethought from the ground up. This was a truly disappointing experience. read more

I'm very confused on the negative reviews at this establishment. Food couldn't be better, or any better for you. 100 percent organic. Staff super friendly. Highly recommend. read more

We've eaten here a couple times and have had great experiences both times. Most recently we brought our kids back for lunch. Everyone enjoyed their meals - turkey club, potato wedges, smashburgers, pasta and meatballs for the kids. Server was friendly and attentive. Outside ambience is great. You don't realize you're in a strip mall type spot, with all the plants around the space. We appreciated that everything was organic and felt like we were eating somewhat healthy. :) We will be back! read more

Food & Thought 2 - Turkey club with avocado added. Side of coleslaw comes with all sandwiches. We added a side of potato wedges. - Restaurants Near Me - Naples, Florida

The food was mediocre. The utensils were very dirty. When we told the server she did not apologize, did not say a thing, was not happy, but brought us the new ones. The server was not friendly, did not check on us, did not smile, everything that was asked the answer felt she was doing you a favor. Not a nice service. What a disappointment. read more

I am a full time resident and have gone to F&T2 regularly over the past few years. We took visitors in January and again on March 30. I was disappointed both times. The quality of food and level of service are noticeably not as good. A simple request like not having food piled up was disregarded. Our waitress seemed disconnected - like she wasn't paying attention. In particular, the pork chop ( which was great ) is now half the size and both times overcooked and dry. There are too many good restaurants in Naples to make mediocrity acceptable. read more

Another Visit to Food and Thought 2 and another mediocre showing of bar service. Food is great and the happy hour deals are also popular and worth taking advantage of but the bar service is frequently lackluster. When the bar fills even just a little (15-20 guests) the bartenders lose all sense of serving or checking on guests. Hannah does a great job with a smile on her face but is forced to do tables and service bar and then Im stuck with Justin who usually is very curt and unwelcoming and only will help out after flagging him down. The price is nice but the bar service is and has continued to be forgettable read more

Food was delish! Yummy avocado toast and seating inside or out! Great environment and plenty of space for group meetings as well!

The food was great but service was below satisfactory and they charged extra for stuff they said was already included in the dish. Not the way a restaurant should conduct business. Other than that the food was tasty and the restaurant had a green healthy atmosphere. Prices ranged from $24 to $49 for a meal. read more

Only came because of gift card. Took forever for everything, even to get a manager to tell me how much my gift card was worth. Food took forever, barely any customers here on a Sunday. Ordered the market prices grouper, $27 for a very small thin, under cooked, gooey fillet. Potatoes were cold, both times when I sent back the fish to be cooked. The cold slaw is good. That's about it. Even the service wasn't very attentive Plenty of outdoor seating, sat indoor in restaurant. Same menu Mahi mahi sandwich was spicy along with the cole slaw, had a kick to it. Not worth the time or money to return. Over priced for children size portions read more

Our server Carolina was the best server we've had in some time. Great smile and service! Food was incredible, the pizza was phenomenal! Can't wait to get back and try some other things! The place was clean and perfect! read more

Nice restaurant. We were in the Naples area and decided to dine here. It was an early weekday evening and we were seated right away. Menu had numerous healthy choices. My wife had the pork chop and I had the vegetable stir-fry. We both enjoyed our meals. Service was prompt and courteous. The only thing we didn't like was that the large doors were open and the restaurant interior was quite warm. Our waitress could see our discomfort and them closed. The restaurant cooled to a comfortable level in 15-20 minutes. Food & Thought 2 is a good choice if you're looking for some healthy dining. read more

Great concept, good food but meatballs were cold and pasta meal was cold. Service was sooooo slowwwww for both in-person dining and ONE CUP OF SOUP to go (took over a half hour). Quite ridiculous. read more

This is 4th or 5th time dining here as we've never had a bad experience. A diverse menu is a great excuse to try it again which is something we seldom do in Naples. Far too many choices but here you're pretty safe in finding unique dishes that don't disappoint. As for our salad choice we should've shared one because it is a massive serving. In fact I'd strongly suggest they back off the amount of spinach used because it smothered the other ingredients completely. Had to try the mushroom green onion bisque and while a very unique taste would highly recommend a cup. read more

Food & Thought 2 - Roasted butternut squash and Brussel Sprout salad. - Restaurants Near Me - Naples, Florida

Came here for brunch and it was good. I loved the shrimp and grits! And the cute little market was fun. I don't get political with my reviews but I went here knowing it was owned by the seed to table owner (huge trump fan that supported the insurrection). I was shocked to see the owner at the restaurant in his electric blue Range Rover with Trump 2024 massively written on the side. It is fine that is his political view but I don't want political views shoved in my face while dining. read more

Went there for breakfast. Had eggs Benedict. Very well prepared. The other breakfast was a classic eggs and bacon. As expected. Well prepared. Service was a bit slow. Loved the outdoor setting. read more

As annoying as a the politics are, the food for thought downtown is fantastic for folks that are vegan or plant based with so many ready made options. This one is a sit down restaurant and the menu definitely lacks. Not as many healthy options and not executed super well. The beet salad was barely anything just leaves and a few beets. The vegetarian salad was okay but the tofu completely waterlogged, as if they've not worked with tofu before. It's fine in a pinch but leaves a lot to he desired. read more

We have gone to Food and Thought at least six times in the last two months. Whomever did the interior design did one amazing job! Highly recommend the chicken pesto pizza. The pepperoni pizza is amazing but the chicken pesto pizza is wow! I do feel the appetizers are a little pricey such as the Grouper appetizer is $20. While my husband has tried several different drinks I am hooked on the Strawberry Fields Forever. I love me a spicy drink and this hits the mark. I will say the day bartender makes these drinks far better than the evening bartender - from my experience. I'm not sure I would rave about the same drink during the evening time. I am looking forward to the outdoor music when that starts. They do offer music in the outdoor bar area but I'm referring to the outdoor seating area in between the restaurant and the organic market. read more

Food & Thought 2 - Breakfast platter - Restaurants Near Me - Naples, Florida

What a nice and inviting place to come to. I have been to happy hour several times and for dinner outside under a umbrella once. The value at happy hour is excellent ( you need to be in the bar area). Service at the bar, if you are at a high top is not good. It is the bartenders that also take care of the high tops , so if you do not flag someone to come over you can wait a long time. There should be a server, not a bar tender taking care of the high tops. The pizza flat bread is very good. Fresh from the pizza oven. This is not one of those already made flat bread that the establishment puts on some sauce and cheese and heats up. Burger sliders are also very good. On the down side, the beet salad with added chicken (not on happy hour menu) was awful. Mostly greens, the beets were really just a garnish. The chicken was not made to order. It was cold, overcooked and dry. We sent that back. The manager stated that it was made incorrectly. I hope that they now know how to make it and be sure that the chicken is cooked to order. Over all it was a very good experience and I will be returning. read more

We came here to celebrate my grandma's birthday and my graduation. While the food was great, the service was disappointing. Our server forgot one of the hamburgers, which came out really late but was still charged. We mentioned both celebrations to someone who seemed to be the manager, but there was no effort to acknowledge them--not even a simple dessert. As someone who works in hospitality, I know how important it is to make guests feel valued, especially when they're celebrating something special. This experience felt like a missed opportunity to do that. read more

Came at a bad time, between 3:00-4:30. All they were serving was soups salads and pizza. They took so long to get to our table we seriously considered leaving. Service is okay when it gets to you but they're bad a touching tables. Speaking of tables, our table was disgusting they need to throw it away. Food: -Meat Lovers Pizza: 2/5 way more oily than most meat pizzas. Gave my husband instant diarrhea. Not very good. The crust is nice but it tastes like it had been sitting out and the prosciutto was nasty. -Carrot Ginger Soup: 4/5 a bit sweeter than you want it to be but the presentation was nice and it was very pleasant. They have a nice selection of drinks and the menu is on an iPad. Mostly old people and women go here. It has an airport/nursing home vibe. The service was too stressful to ever go back here. read more

From the owners of Seed 2 Table. The restaurant itself is very modern, the menu is on the pad-style devices. Food was okay, couple hits (meatloaf (but not worth $25), apple fritters, fruit crumble dessert), couple misses (Cauliflower Pizza, Sweet Potato Wedges, Mushroom Bisque), the rest of the food was average read more

Food and Thought 2 for a Saturday (slightly off season) Happy Hour plus dinner. 4 of us at the bar for HH 3:55-6:05, with dinner reservations at 6PM at F&T2. Great HH prices, Nice pours. Bartender was spread a bit thin by herself, so took a minute ( or 2) to get a drink, place an app order etc etc. Friendly patrons to chat with while you wait though. Had chips and Guac- fine. Buffalo cauliflower- odd. Steamed cauliflower with a drizzle of hot sauce and blu cheese. Dinner in the courtyard with Joel Fry Country plying live- fun atmosphere. 4 ordered: lentil bolognese, smash burger, brasstown burger, short rib rigatoni. All was very good...except the requested medium cooked brasstown burger was cold pink inside. Took 25 minutes for a replacement and the (one) waiter running all over had to be flagged to check for the burger and to request drinks. So- all in all. Great spot. Love the courtyard and the bar is lovely as well. Food was good,but more waitstaff is needed at the bar for HH and to wait on tables at the restaurant. read more

If your looking for a place not just organic but health minded and great selection as well And won't break the bank This is a good place to go Eggplant meatball appetizer was great you wouldn't know they were vegetarian (they also had regular hamburgers They have a dining menu as well as bar menu Hamburgers we had we great tasting and juicy Try the air fried potato wedges Cole slaw was also good read more

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Good service. I'm giving 4 stars for the following reason: I wish they would serve bread or something with the soup. Stale crackers (upon request only, btw.... ) don't cut out. C'mon Alfie..... you're better than this. read more

BOOM!!!! What a great place that Im afraid I'm late to enjoying. Spent a wonderful time there last night with friends who had been there before, I was the sole "rookie". Very nice atmosphere with plenty of room for dining both inside and out. Though, with out heatwave even by Florida standards going on, I'm not sure anyone would sit outside at the moment. the menu is on an Ipad like device!!! It responds to your touch selections quickly and is intuitive even for =an old guy like me. :) Our server was Sooooo, so nice and attentive! I would go back just for her. The ladies had dinner salads and seemed to be of a healthy size. we gents tried the on special prime rib which I found to be really GOOD albeit a bit salty for my taste. The seasoned butter on top was scrumptious!!! The steak fries were very good as was the little warm side dish of corn with tomatoes and spices!! The menu is varied enough that I need to back and SOON!!! I had to mark it only 4 stars as to prices. Perhaps the $48 strip steak is worth every penny, but the price (for me) kinda takes the fun out of it, ya know? Its open for breakfast (7am), lunch and dinner!! I think I hear breakfast over there callin' me!!! read more

It was bright and airy out on the deck. Food was tasty and service personel were attentive

We had a lovely breakfast on the outdoor patio this morning. The Shrimp and Grits were great and had a generous portion of good sized shrimp. The Farmstand Hash was full of tasty veggies and excellent cheese. I definitely recommend! read more

My girlfriend and I walked in for a early brunch I clearly ordered the mahi mahi sandwich and the bartender comes out brings me grouper and said she swore I said grouper " absolutely not then she doesn't have the urge to say would I like anything else or discount it off or anything. Place was horrible food was beyond average and for 87$ I'll never give them my business again and I hope whoever sees this just take yourself to anywhere but here. Thanks! read more

We discovered Food and Thought 2 while vacationing in Naples. In one week, we had lunch there three times. The selection and food quality are excellent. The patio seating is very pleasant and service is very good. Google Maps leads you through a maze of parking lots to get there, so take a wide view and backtrack from the adjacent side street. read more

The food is good and reasonably priced. Love the outdoor Sunday brunch. Friendly staff highly recommend.

We stopped in to grab a couple drinks and we're very excited because the atmosphere was great with live music. We sat at the bar for over 10 minutes without being acknowledged by the bartender who had double checked several times on other patrons right next to us, the barback seemed to notice and brought menus and offered water. The blonde bartender made eye contact with us three times before another bartender/manager eventually took our order. The experience made us want to leave after one drink each and after we put our card down for another 10-15minutes we waved at the blonde bartender so we could cash out and she waved us off and asked the barback Pedro to handle us. We never engaged with her so we don't know why we were dismissed. Evidently we left a $20 tip for Pedro for taking care us. We felt like we were being dismissed because we were younger than the average patrons. It was very unprofessional. read more

I wrote an email to F&T2 sharing my negative experience where they got an order today ENTIRELY wrong. It's not the first time. They responded letting me know that they would let management know so it wouldn't happen again. Absolutely no offer to rectify the situation whatsoever. We were regulars here but will not return after this. ***Updating my review to remind the responder that I did reach out. There is not much more to do when your order is To Go. Again, no offer to rectify the situation!! read more

I come here frequently and the to-go staff knows me by my name. I really love that! Generally my experience here is about the same but I can't give it 5 stars because if you're ever there mid day, it seems like the staff is more concerned on whatever they are working on and not paying attention to who is walking in. I try not to go during that time for this very reason. The food is good and tastes organic and clean. Everything I've ordered has been consistent each time I've ordered it. My favorite is the pepperoni pizza, but all their pizzas are good. The banana nut bread French toast is pretty good, too. There's plenty of seating, indoor, outdoor, and at the bar. Definitely a place worth checking out. read more

It's so loud in there with small children going wild. I wanted to leave immediately, this isn't the restaurants fault but what parents or staff just lets children bounce on booth seats and run around barefoot. That's health code violation stuff. The food was ok if you can get a server. read more

This restaurant has a stylish, casual atmosphere with inside, bar, and outdoor eating sections. I noticed families, couples, friends and groups there so it appears that most everyone would be comfortable at this spot. The menu isn't large but does offer vegan and gluten-free options. The carrot ginger soup is delicious! The Roasted Butternut Squash and Brussel Sprouts Salad is enormous. I wouldn't order the Kung Pao Tofu entree - the sauce was overpowering and there was only 6 smaller pieces of Tofu. There is live music throughout the week. I was there on a Saturday evening and the musician started at 6pm-9pm. It was more like background music so it didn't interfere with the conversation at our table. I'll definitely go back. read more
