So I found out about this place from a coworker who spoke with them about a fundraiser that we're…read morehosting in July. While she was there speaking with the owner, she picked up some menus and distributed them. I was very impressed by what they offer. So when I was in that plaza for lunch this week, I decided to finally stop by myself and get a smoothie for lunch. I got the PB & Blue. When I asked, what type of milk they put in their smoothie, she said that it's just water based, which made my lactose intolerance self so happy. They were very friendly upon entering, and the storefront is very welcoming. I sipped the first taste on my walk across the parking lot, and immediately put my fist in the air in case they were watching from inside because I wanted them to know how amazing it tasted. I can't even describe how good this was. I almost drank the whole thing on the five minute ride back to work. They have a loyalty program which is awesome as well. I will say I'll definitely be trying to make at least a weekly trip out to visit this business because that smoothie for lunch was just absolutely perfect for me.

GiGi's Ice Cream of Punta Gorda…read more Atmosphere & Service I stopped by to check out GiGi Ice Cream to try the lobster roll. An ice cream shop that serves lobster rolls sounded too interesting to pass up. Inside, the shop was clean, neat, and pleasantly cool. I ordered at the front counter and had my food in hand within just a few minutes. Menu Highlights * Hot dogs * Lobster Rolls * Ice cream options ranging from sorbet to gluten-free varieties * Specialty drinks, including milkshakes, smoothies, and ice cream floats What I Ordered I ordered the lobster roll, which came with my choice of chips, melted butter, lemon, and a pickle. Final Impression & Rating The meal arrived on a plastic plate with a fitted cover--a clever and convenient touch. The lobster roll was simply amazing, with so much lobster packed inside that pieces fell out with every bite. The toasted roll was excellent, and the melted butter and lemon made the lobster even better. Even the pickle was good. Finding a lobster roll this impressive at an ice cream shop still blows my mind. It is the best lobster roll I have had in the area. I'm already looking forward to returning.

This was an absolute GEM of a breakfast experience for us, and perfect to cap off our visit to…read moreparadise with a terrific last meal before flying home to our corn-fed midwestern life. Starting off with the ambience, the place is SUPER cute, decorated with a color theme I call "sherbet whimsy" with a smattering of smiling emojis. Our party of 6 was warmly greeted at the counter and immediately seated together. We started off with their delicious coffee, some hot & some cold...all excellent! The menu is fairly extensive for a breakfast joint, so the server gave us some good recommendations & said everything here is house made. Wow! OK... so we all got different menu items, and despite being warned about the HUGE portions...we could not have fathomed how large they are, but the prices do reflect how much food you're going to get! The breakfast burrito could easily feed four people. Our lone young male in the group - who might have a tapeworm based upon his ability to devour gigantic amounts of food - did his best, but could only consume about 2/3 of it. He said it was amazing, especially when paired with their delicious house made hot sauce. Two of us got two different bennie breakfasts, and raved about the hollandaise, the stretched "biscuits" & the fried chicken. Despite being smallish young ladies, they put a good dent in their meals. One of us got the outstanding corned beef hash, and thankfully generously shared with yours truly!! She could not eat even half of her meal, so I was glad to help out! :) The corned beef hash is not your standard ground-up version from a can. It is house made, with larger bits of potato, corned beef, onions & peppers. They get a perfect scald on it & serve it up with eggs & thick sliced perfectly toasted/buttered toast. My picky husband got the chorizo scramble with a side of fruit & really enjoyed it. I got the fantastic avocado toast with a side of potatoes. Everything was perfect... the thick slices of toasted wheat bread adorned with melted cheese then topped with very fresh & perfectly ripe avocado slices. I didn't prefer their scrambled eggs & should have gotten them fried instead, but it was still perfectly good, especially when dipped in their hot sauce. Thankfully my husband shared some of his fresh fruit, which was ripe & good. I dipped the pineapple into that hot sauce, which was delicious together. The place is very clean, including the bathrooms. The clientele were a menagerie from various demographics...retirees, blue collar workers, bikers, vacationers; everyone was pleasant & seemed to be enjoying their meals. This was one of the better meals we had during our trip, and definitely the best breakfast by far. It's so close to the airport, too. I'm so glad we got up early enough to be able to fit in a stop here before catching our flight home.

But it was average at best nothing awful nothing great. We had an Italian sub since that's how we like to judge our sub shops.

We had…read morebreakfast here a few years ago and enjoyed it; wanted to go back but we don't eat breakfast often. Prices were higher this time, understandably. They are still better priced on a basic breakfast than other places nearby. I wanted to try their eggs Benedict even though I've only ever had it maybe 2-3 times in my life! I'm not a good person to judge since I'm not really sure what hollandaise should taste like! It was more tangy tart than I expected. The eggs were cooked the way they should be and the ham was thick. In my memory, it should've had a stronger ham flavor, as I think Canadian bacon is the traditional meat and I was hoping for that. But even eating a piece of the thick ham by itself, I couldn't taste a salty smoked ham flavor. While I found that disappointing, I couldn't take a star away because visually it looked great, and I imagine a lot of people would love to see that thick slice of ham even if it is too mild! Don't judge it by my photo because I broke my yolks and stirred them up before I remembered to take a photo. The grits (my choice of side) were just like I like them. My husband got a 2 eggs breakfast with home fries (?) sausage and toast. It was a full plate of food and he enjoyed it. They have home made strawberry jam (yum!) and I will for sure get breakfast with toast or biscuits next time just so I can have some of that jam. I did put a little bit of jam on a couple bites of my English muffin from under my Benedict. The coffee mug was tall so my husband appreciated that; and the friendly & attentive server, Melissa, filled it before empty, as needed. We will be back "sooner than later" hopefully, because there's more I want to try on their menu. I do recommend going here for breakfast especially if you are an early bird or find yourself out and about very early for some reason like we were, and need a breakfast. I think they might get crowded quickly, so early is better. Note that their hours were not accurate on the iPhone maps app - I submitted correct hours and it's pending approval. However I used the website hours and one of their days I think it was Sunday - was showing closed at 1 but it's actually 1:30.

This has become one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Today we had a lunch special and a…read morebreakfast. Both were delicious. The meatloaf was very good and came with a bbq glaze and some bbq sauce on the two slices. The mashed potatoes are real, you can tell because they leave the skins on! My wife also had an order of the potato pancakes with applesauce. Those were fabulous! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, done beautifully. They also provide a small bowl of applesauce which was very good and we appreciated the amount. I had tow biscuits with gravy, two scrambled eggs, and hash browns. In my opinion, they have the best biscuits and gravy in the area. Gravy has plenty of flavor and the biscuits are soft and flaky on the inside, yum. Chasity was our server and she was fantastic! Got our order right, checked back to make sure everything was good, and offered good conversation.
