2000 Flavors Homemade Ice Cream may not be much to look at from the outside, but the flavors are…read morewhat keep you coming back. The ice cream itself is genuinely delicious, and the service is friendly and efficient. My personal favorite was the coconut ice cream -- award-winning for a reason. It had a sweetness similar to sherbet without being overwhelming, while still maintaining that creamy, classic ice cream texture. It struck a really nice balance. While the shop itself is fairly simple in appearance, the quality of the flavors makes it worth a stop if you're in the area and craving something sweet. Overall, a solid 3-star experience with standout flavor options -- especially if coconut is your thing.

The person in the truck was walking around and could clearly see us waiting as we could see them multiple times. Shutters open, sign says open, neon light on, google hours say open, but this person who clearly saw us never opened a window and just ignored us as we stood there for 5 minutes. Had ice cream here the night before with no issues. Pretty disappointing service for the morning though.

Good and NOT so good: GOOD - ice cream was awesome! Our Ice cream lady was awesome, super sweet and…read morefriendly. Came to say hi to our dogs outside and everything. We had two kids cones, two "pup cups", one adult waffle cone and the AWESOME Cotton Candy Burrito!! Kids cones were sugar cones and they fresh & crisp. One flavor Cookie Monster was monsterously blue with Oreo type cookies and cookie dough in it. Grab wipes for all of the blue, luckily it didn't stain. The other was Red velvet and so creamy and not extremely dyed red. I recommend the Birthday Cake for those wanting excellent Birthday Cake flavor but not overly sweet- throw it in a waffle cone and you won't regret it. Ordered a fun surprise for the hubs- the cotton candy burrito!! Two scoops of ice cream wrapped in blue and pink cotton candy!! He loved it! He chose kitchen sink with 7 candies mixed in it - let me tell you it was like the literally dumped half a candy bar of each in vanilla and mixed it up. The NOT so COVID good: our friendly ice cream lady wasn't wearing a mask nor was she wiping anything down. We sat outside and didn't notice any sort of cleaning being done at all. A few families came in after us- some wore masks, some didn't and nothing was said about the ones not wearing them. (I happened to follow them in to grab a magnet) Wear a mask. Grab some ice team and enjoy a nice Friday night outside. We did. The other NOT so good: Somehow a single scoop in a waffle cone, 2 kids single scoops in sugar cones, 2 pup cups (single scoop vanilla in cup) and the Cotton Candy Burrito came to $30! No menu with pricing that I noticed but mannnn thirty bucks die ice cream is a little hefty. Again, the ice cream was good but I was thinking it was $15-18. Jaw hit floor, I picked it up sanitized it and moved on.

Possibly one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a Dairy Queen. I'm not one to order sweets…read moreso I usually try to order from a regular food member and I believe that was my first mistake at a Dairy Queen. Robert ordered a small Oreo cookie jar blizzard and I ordered the pretzels and "zesty queso". I actually believed that it would be good because I order the small hot sandwiches all the time and they have a good amount of kick and flavor to them. What a mistake I made today. The pretzels were soaked in some sort of oil and super salty and the queso was a sad excuse of fake cheese with a hint of spice. The queso even tasted fake that's been sitting in a warmer all day. I'm glad I didn't go home sick so obviously something went right but they could've put better effort into their food since nobody was there.

A long time fan of Love Boat ice cream, I am embarrassed to admit I'd never heard of Pinocchio's…read moreuntil we stumbled upon their Fort Myers location tonight while looking for an ice cream shop in the area. We were drawn in by the promise of unique homemade flavors, and Pinocchio's did not disappoint. We settled on the Gator Stew (vanilla based ice cream with pistachio, chunky peanut butter and Reese's PB cups), Wedding Bells (Italian almond wedding cake), and Dirty Sand Dollar (vanilla ice cream with caramel, malted milk balls, and chocolate chunks). The ice cream was very flavorful, especially Wedding Bells, which had more almond flavor than anything almond I've ever tried. The portions are also huge. We both ordered the piccolo (2 scoops) and were rewarded with leaning towers of creamy goodness -- see attached photos. The employees were friendly and the shop, including the restroom, was very clean. Lots of parking in the shopping center. Next visit, I'd love to try Pinocchio's delicious-looking ice cream sandwiches, homemade cookies, or their half milkshake-half sundae (mainly to see how that is even possible). Run don't walk to Pinocchio's!

* Update- for some reason I can not respond or react to Donna's reply…read more Donna, thank you for the response and input. I was not aware requests could be made. Each time I have mentioned being disappointed no Bday cake was available, no one has mentioned this as an option, and actually tonight, I was told by one of the young ladies that in the 6months she has worked here, she has not seen Birthday cake as an option . PS- there are always lots of options/flavors (sadly nothing that compares to bday cake IMO) and the service is always great, so even though I choose not to get anything on these occasions when birthday cake is not available, my family still proceeds to get their favorites. So disappointing! We are from Indianapolis and our daughter lives in Bonita- we make it a point to come here everytime we visit (which is often)- twice now in April (the first week and this week) we have came here and no birthday cake ice cream! Parrots nest is NOT the same! Birthday cake has literally has been my absolute favorite since coming here in 2020!

‍ You Better Run, Don't Walk!…read more You don't want to miss this hidden island gem! One of my favorite places to watch the back bay and relax is Fresh Catch Bistro's happy hour and trivia nights. The appetizers are always outstanding, the martinis are absolutely delicious but watch out you might want to limit yourself 2! now they've made Thursdays even better with their delicious mac & cheese available during happy hour and as a dinner special. If you're a seafood lover, don't miss the $15 snow crab clusters--they're an incredible deal! I've honestly never had a bad experience here. The food, drinks, and service have been consistently excellent every single visit. The daily martini happy hour from 2:30-4:30 every day except Monday is one of the best on Fort Myers Beach, and Thursday trivia is always a blast with Jerry who always comes happy and full old useful and useless knowledge. Either it's a blast!! I'd love to see even more locals come out during the off-season because it's such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for great food, creative cocktails, friendly service, and one of the best happy hours on the island, Fresh Catch Bistro is hard to beat. We'll definitely keep coming back--and we'll keep telling our friends to do the same!
