    Food was great! Nothing too crazy, just downright yummy home cooked breakfast. Cinnamon buns are first come first served and worth every penny AND large enough to share. Waitstaff was great...we were there by 9am and were seated promptly. We had a 4 year old dining with us and our waitress was great with him. She was very attentive to our party warming up coffees as needed They have a little farm stand at the entrance and we bought some healthy strawberry plants and tomatoes to take home. There is a gift shop just inside the waiting area and my husband surprised me and bought a beautiful hand painted heron on a slab of wood that he had noticed I was admiring. The best part was out back where they have a mini farm that we walked around to see. We fed goats and chickens from a feed/gum ball looking machine. They have turtles and donkeys too. We had a great breakfast and a fun morning exploring. It has become a go to when we visit that area of Fort Myers.

    3 things about this place: 1. This cafe is located inside 31 Produce, which is a mini farmer's market with fresh produce and animals that you can see. Just before you enter 31 Produce, you will see the cafe on your right side. At the end of November, you get to handpick strawberries, other fruits, and fresh vegetables. 2. The cafe reminds me of Cracker Barrel with interesting and fun items to see while you wait for your seat or after a full meal. They have jams, pickled garlic, and sauces. Country Fried Steak was their special of the day so had to get it, along with the 31 Club. 3. The foods took more than 30 minutes so other than waiting for a long time at the table, the foods were fresh and satisfying. The portions were pretty huge and quality was good. Overall, this place was good and the staff was extremely friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun time after a great meal.

    This place is the epitome of down home cooking ‍ The service is fast although it's a little tight inside so expect a wait. It will be well worth it #yumyumformytumtum

When you arrive there is ample parking, and very pleasant views of their agricultural. There are 85 acres, which houses their store, small self served dining and eating area both inside, as well as outside. They have a rustic barn for special occasion events. Since we were a group of ladies, we made arrangements for service to be provided, versus self serve. In hindsight, once we completed our luncheon, we should haves opted for self served. We were told there would be an up charge for personal service, which became $7.00 per person, plus a 20% tip and tax's. This referred to as personal service was not anywhere near what was provided. First, our food orders, needed to be in days before our arrival. No appetizers were available, soup, salads etc. The room where we were assigned to was ample and pleasant. However, first we had to pay for the order we had preordered. There was ice tea, water, ice, coffee, etc. preset up. Then instead of a server delivering our entrees, a large multi-layered cart rolled in with our preordered lunches. Truly, the ambiance was immediately impaired and negligent. Our attendees, we had a mix of loving the ingredients of their orders, where others were totally disappointed. As their food was bland unfavorable and unappealing, especially at the price of $21.95 per person with a mandatory 20% gratuity. It needs to be validated that our group never has an issue with pricing of their special excursion lunch events. However, BUCKINGHAM Farms did not meet our expectations. After our lunch was served, there was no service, no one came back to ask if the food was ok, was there anything else needed. Our servers were gone. Came back to remove our plates never asked, if we were happy, how did we enjoy the food. In initially setting up the reservation, our ladies first visit to this unique venue m, were very excited. So, it was requested that after lunch, since it was an 85 acre farm, could we have a quick walking tour. Anna, the director agreed and says she would guide us around the path and explain what we were seeing in the tour. After our lunch, we were all excited. As I went to find Anna and said we are ready for the tour. Anna had a surprise look as there were others with me, act like it was the first time she heard the request! I repeated the conversation, and she said oh no. We do tours in the morning only, and there is a charge for a tour. Needless to say, what a disappointment! If your plans are to go to BUCKINGHAM Farms, our recommendation is not to go as a group. Or if you do, GO self service!

Up the steps to the host station. We were greeted and seated immediately. This place has all outdoor dining with views of the river. The TV on the wall above the bar was the biggest one I've ever seen. The menu had lots of options. I was there for the Gator Bites. Friend ordered Calamari and we split a salad. They used to have Kalick and Red Stripe beer but unfortunately they no longer carry those two beers. Our food showed up fairly quickly and was delicious. The Gator bites were tender with a light coating of breading. The Calamari was the same - tender and lightly coated. The salad was huge and really good except for the anemic tomatoes. Our server showed up only once to see if we needed anything (more water, please). The bill was very reasonable. Cheaper than most places for the Gator and Calamari. As we were ready to leave, a group of 16 showed up to sit next to us. I noticed, as we left, that the whole place was packed. They fill up quickly. We'll go back. It's a popular place that has reasonably priced food.

    4.5 stars - Upscale clubhouse dining with community charm…read more I recently visited The Enclave at Babcock National in the Enclave at Babcock Ranch--and it exceeded expectations on nearly every front. The ambiance is sophisticated yet welcoming, perfectly fitting the upscale golf‑clubhouse setting. What stood out: * Service: The staff greeted us warmly, helped us navigate the menu, and provided attentive yet unobtrusive service . * Menu & flavors: Offering fresh seafood, prime steaks, citrus scallops, and weekend brunch options, the kitchen delivered on complex flavor combinations--sweet, savory, and a hint of spice. * Quality: Everything felt newly opened and elevated--a friend mentioned, "a wonderful lunch experience at the newly opened Enclave... already setting a high bar". A couple of caveats: * Price point: It leans toward the $$$ range, so it's best suited for special occasions or for those seeking a refined dining experience. * Access: Located inside the gated golf community--don't forget to make a reservation and check access rules if you're not a member. Bottom line: This is a polished, well‑executed dining experience worth visiting--especially for seafood and steak lovers in the area. The Enclave has quickly earned its reputation as a "hidden gem" and a community favorite--perfect for date nights, celebratory meals, or enjoying that golf‑club atmosphere.

It had the lettuce, some coleslaw to keep it interesting and a piece of fresh grilled fish. The Mac and cheese was death row meal worthy! Loved the banana cream pie too!

I drove around looking for something that wasn't a chain and found this place tucked in the corner of a plaza. I immediately got a great vibe walking to the door with the music on in the patio and the fun outside decor. I walked in and was greeted by Andrea (I walked in at 1045, they don't open till 11, oops). She was the sweetest and chatted with me for a little bit and told me about the restaurant. It's owned by her, her husband and his parents. And the other staff is family ad well. They have been open for 4yrs. Started as a food truck on Food Truck Fridays at Founders Square and emerged into this great looking space. Their hours are 11a-9p, but since today is first day of world cup they are going to be playing all the games while open and even stay open later to watch the 9pm games. I was told by Andrea and the waitress that the "Cheesy Birria Tacos" was the top seller so I gave it a try. And I got a passion fruit smoothie as my drink. The smoothie was delicious! (BRAIN FREEEEEZE! LOL) They serve chips and homemade salsa while you wait for your meal. The salsa had a great taste to it. It is a tad lil spicy, so know that if you don't like spice. Andrea let me sit while they were still opening up and once 11 hit the customers started rolling in. I really enjoyed the meal. The meat was so tender, so when I bit into it I bit right theough... I wasn't pulling all the meat out of the taco on the first bite. Perfect. The rice n beans were ehhh... I'm not a fan of R&B, and i knew that. I should have asked what other options there were . I did end up asking for future reference and she said they have plantains and fries. Ill have to remember that for next time! Since I just stopping for a quick bite and to check the place out. I packed half my meal up for later. When I'm in the area again I'll come back and try other items that were recommended. All said and done, I really enjoyed the place.
