We visited here on vacation and this place really makes you feel like you are a part of their family. There were a lot of returning customers so you know the place is amazing. Having that vibe just made the experience that much better! the place was packed! The tables are pretty close together, so a lot of people can be seated inside at once but they also have outdoor seating too You don't have just one server, all of the servers take care of you, which is really nice so whenever you need something, it's easy to get a hold of someone as well as being checked on to make sure you have everything that you need I don't know if this is allowed, but the workers were drinking in the kitchen area, which is open so you can see everything going on. I personally don't have a problem with it, but would hope that they don't get too intoxicated while cooking food. Overall, the environment was super fun and would definitely eat here again if we visited the area read more

My fav place is now open for DINNER TOO!!! I love this local hidden gem. Love that they do potatoes instead of fries- nice contrast. Love the unique chefy inspired food. The Jeff on plain bagel- BLT- Tomato Soup- Grilled Cheese - is all 10/10. Love all the bread and side options. New cold spicy Mac and broccoli salad need to come as a bigger side. Really enjoy the outdoor dining- I mean it's Florida! Can't wait to see the new patio upgrades coming soon!!! Taste local!!! read more

My breakfast was phenomenal! I got the Reuben on an everything bagel! I also got the bottomless mimosas with all kinds of different flavors. The service was amazing, the waitress wrote down on a piece of paper all the flavors they had to offer. I sat outside it was a beautiful day, felt like I was at a family member's house. I definitely recommend this place! read more

The Eatery By Ryan - Rueben-eggs over medium with sour kraut cheddar cheese on an everything bagel! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Everything was absolutely great! It's a small spot so you may arrive and have a wait. Thankfully we got there at the right time. They have a nice menu of selections. Im a sucker for cheesesteaks so I had to try the hoagie. It's a solid 7/10 cheesesteak. Would have been nice to pair with some fries but they don't offer fries. I had the macaroni salad as a side which was very flavorful. Overall i enjoyed the location and the food will definitely be back to try something else. read more

What a fun little eatery. Mimosas and Bloody Mary's. An amazing menu for breakfast and lunch - a variety of sandwiches, wraps and Philly cheesesteaks. Large portions. Limited seating inside but has a good size outside area if it weren't 40 degrees. we will definitely be back. read more

The Eatery By Ryan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

This place is really gross. The floor is super dirty and doesn't look like it's been swept or mopped in years. They have children working in the kitchen and serving, probably the owners daughter, she looked to be about 8 or 9 years old and she was the only well groomed person on staff. Everyone was wearing shorts cooking in the kitchen, including who I assume to be the owner Ryan. The walls are just a dusty hodgepodge of random stuff. Cutout cardboard boxes stuck to the walls to show what chips they have and the fact that they use amoroso bread. Everything looked like it had a layer of grease on it. One of the male servers smelled like a wet ashtray and he didn't even come near our table but we could smell him every time he walked by. There was trash on the floor, a broken television just sitting in the "dining room". Our sandwiches had very little meat on them and what was present was inedible for the amount of fat. We were afraid to go to the bathroom to wash our hands because what we expected to find. If they don't clean the dining room, they aren't cleaning the kitchen or the bathrooms either. Overall, super disappointed with the entire experience and we will never go back. read more

This place is a hidden gem for sure!! The coffee was SO good for starters. We ordered breakfast and not only was it hot and incredibly fast, but also very delicious!! My husband got the biscuit and gravy bowl and he's very picky about b&g but said it was great. I got the bfast grilled cheese and it was so flavorful and yummy. The service was outstanding too. Would for sure go back when in the area again. read more

The food was great, portions were good sized, and service was good! We enjoyed sitting outside with our dog. Will be back!!

One of the best places I've discovered! Our waitress Elena was friendly, courteous, professional, and fun. She had many good recommendations for us first-timers. So many wonderful choices. Each of the five of us give our meal an "excellent" rating and said we would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Well done. read more

Ate outside on 4/12/26. Blowing napkins and knives were on the ground with no effort for staff to pick up. The service was slow and the food overpriced vs other breakfasts we have eaten in the area. They could have used more staff. read more

Love everything about this place. Menu is solid, food is great, decor and vibe super chill. Go here, you won't be disappointed.

This place was excellent. Kind of unexpected because it looks like a sports bar when you walk in with memorabilia all over the walls, but the brunch was so delicious. I had an excellent egg sandwich on an everything bagel, and everyone in our party was really pleased with their food. Our server was so accommodating - we had a large group with two little kids, and they seated us outside as we requested. When a few people in our party started getting freaked out by the bees in their outdoor seating area (it's a nice large outdoor area, but yes there were a couple bees), they moved a few tables together inside the restaurant. I can't say enough good things - this was a nice family experience for us! read more

Came here after landing in Ft Myers en route to Naples. Sister and I were pretty hungry and wanted something quick. We stopped here and ordered a couple of sandwiches. We both split our food so we can taste both and it pretty much hit the spot for us. I ordered one of their cheesesteak style sandwiches, and I forgot what my sister ordered but it was good. We saw other people in big groups sitting outside having buckets of beer so it's probably a great brunch spot also! read more

Wow. 10/10 this place. Small business & it's incredible. Owner from NJ & he knows what he's doing. I love coming here for brunch and sitting outside with my dog. Sheps bowl is a must. read more

Came to have breakfast with my cousins, our server Elena was so sweet and attentive. She was very helpful and gave great recommendations. I ended up having the caprese sandwich and added chicken, it was amazing. Loved the flavor. The sides I chose were the Mac salad and street corn. It was delicious! We also got loaded potatoes to share and that was phenomenal. Loved how crispy the potatoes were and having it topped with ranch, jalapeños, and onions made it perfect. We'll definitely come back to have breakfast again! read more

Came in here for Saturday breakfast after a morning at the park. The outdoor area is comfy & shaded. Our server was Ela but the other "Ryan's Angels" were also very helpful and checking in on us! Food was solid & there's ton of great options. They also have Bottomless Mimosas!! read more

This is the first time we try to eateries by Ryan. We thank the yelp reviews for getting us to go there. It was absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and responsive. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but we were happy to be indoor since it was very hot outside. We split a grilled cheese sandwich and had it with a cup of tomato soup. The only thing I would do different in the future was I would ask for the tomato soup not to have spicy cheese. My friend can't do spices, and it was very tangy. Other than that, the food was good. The atmosphere was good. The service was good. We're definitely going back. read more

We stopped in as we saw such great yelp reviews and were in the mood for brunch + something local. Our service was 10/10!! We were greeted immediately, checked on often, and our drinks and food came out in minutes. The food itself was what you would imagine from a diner or brunch spot. I really liked my biscuits and gravy. The gravy is pretty spicy and my nose was running at the end. I love that, but I would caution to not get it if you're not into spicy food. I heard 0 complaints from the others. Everyone really enjoyed it. I will say the scrambled eggs were amazing. I am always so disappointed with scrambled eggs at restaurants because they use liquid eggs in bulk. These tasted real and hand whisked! They have a very cute outdoor section and we loved sitting on the patio. read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience at The Eatery by Ryan! My coworkers and I sampled four different cheesesteaks, and each one was amazing. I personally went for the Napes cheesesteak, which was loaded with steak and bursting with flavor from the peppers/onions. They even use the fresh rolls that you get in Philly. The hot wings were also great as an appetizer. If you're in the Ft Myers area and craving a cheesesteak, look no further. This is my go-to spot, and it should be yours too! read more

I came here for lunch with a group of friends for a birthday. This place is adorable and very kitschy. I had a popsicle drink which was fun! They gave my friend a jello shot for her birthday, which was awesome. I mean what restaurant serves jello shots? Definitely bonus points for that! ! I had the philly cheese steak and it was unbelievable!!! The bread, meat, cheese, all mouthwatering. They have a ton of delicious comfort food and I cannot wait to try all of them. This is the place to go for cheesesteaks!!!!I also must say that all of the staff is absolutely gorgeous including the owner which is nothing to complain about. 10 stars for a fun time and delicious, creamy, comfy food!!! read more

Being a Cheesesteak expert I decided to pay a visit to The Eatery. I ordered The Naples Cheesesteak. Upon the delivery of my sandwich I noticed that the roll was not toasted. While eating the sandwich the meat and ingredients were delicious, the veggies were fresh, they had great seasoning but the room temperature doughy bread overshadowed everything else. A great sandwich starts with great bread, and this one missed the mark. Maybe if the roll was toasted it could have been enjoyable, but as it was, I wouldn't order it again. read more

I did not realize this way close by but glad we decided to check it out! There is inside and outside seating, staff is very friendly. I had the French toast combo with eggs & bacon. The French toast was absolutely delicious...it was thick and the flavor was so good! My son had the 6 wings with breakfast potatoes - he wasn't thrilled with them but he is more of a chicken tender type of kid, so that might be the reason! I would've loved to see a children's menu as I'd love to come back but for my child, slimmer pickings on what he would eat. Will come back and try the cheesesteak next time! read more

Food is always delicious. Always leave stuffed. Great fun little spot and atmosphere. Everything form the mimosas to the wings and sandwiches are great read more

I've been here twice. The food has been good both time but the services and atmosphere is little odd. Maybe because I am not in college but everyone even the waitress doesn't seem to care about hygiene or appearance. Walked in girl sitting right at the front with her feet on the chair next to her with no shoes on. The sitting area inside is very small and right. The only table inside open was next to her feet(wonder why) so we chose to sit outside. It was really hot but I'd rather sit outside then next to someone's feet. Both times we were there they girls who served us looked like they rolled straight out of bed. No bra, clothes either too large or not enough. Very odd. You don't know who works there or they just hanging out cause they all seemed to wear the same style. Definitely more of a local hang out then inviting new customers in. read more

The Eatery By Ryan - Philly Cheesesteak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

This place has a great youthful energy. And unlike Bullig which also has a younger clientele, this place place actually makes everyone feel welcome . Abby our server could not have been sweeter, suggesting her favorite, a popsicle mimosa. Eighties music blares as people of all ages enjoy good food and good times. Menu is diverse from breakfast items to paninis, to cheesesteaks. People watching ,everyone having a blast in this place, what a unique dining experience. Lovely outdoor patio, Duran Duran playing...Yes , I am all in on this dining experience. read more

The toast on my breakfast sandwich was burned with the blackest side turned to the inside of the sandwich. We all burn the toast sometimes...but when you're selling it, it needs to be redone. If it wasn't takeout, I would have asked them to remake it. read more

Really enjoyed my meal here. It lost 1 star from me because they ran out of Philly cheesesteak meat at 2PM?? They were apologetic, but I wouldn't expect for them to run out of what they're known for so early in the day. Either way, my replacement meal was really good. read more

The Eatery By Ryan - Turkey BLT Wrap - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

A truly no-frills, bare-bones restaurant, The Eatery features seat-yourself tables, sparse service, and average food. Fully understand the two or three servers are constantly buzzing around taking orders and filling those for both inside and outside patrons, so not a lot of time available to deal with new diners, but seat-yourself tables don't work well in a crowded establishment; they're much more suited for slow periods where there is ample seating. We sat down and had to flag down a server so that someone would come over to our table after about 5-10 minutes of waiting. After we placed our orders, we waited at least another 30 minutes for our food to come out. The Jeff: Jalapenos, cheese, bacon, and eggs sat within an everything bagel, served with chipotle mayo on the side. Nothing to write home about -- pricy for what it is at $11. Would probably pass if I came back (not likely). Value: 2/5 Quality: 3/5 Quantity: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Atmosphere: 2/5 read more

Had the classic Philly with bacon. It was fabulous! They are so fresh and yummy. We will be back for more.

Great place with seating outside as well! The food and service were top notch and we can't wait to come back to try other entrees! I had the Shep's Biscuit Bowl which has eggs (however you like them cooked), bacon, cheese and sausage gravy all layered in a bowl. Was delish and their bacon is off the hook (super smokey)! If you're in the area looking for a cool breakfast/lunch joint, you gotta check out Ryan's eatery! read more

10/10 would recommend! My boyfriend and I stopped in for brunch on Sunday morning because as we assumed every other place was busy. I a so glad we chose to stop here because the food was outstanding! Not only that but it came out SOO quickly. I'm pretty sure we ordered abs it was there within 10 minutes! Now, the real test was how does it taste if it was made so quickly? Well, I can tell you that it did not disappoint! The food was fresh and hot off the grill and full of flavor. I ate the Philly Whiz Whit which was to die for. The red is juicy and flavorful and the onions and cheese are the perfect touch. I also ordered the red sangria for just $4.99. Can we talk about that price?! I'm impressed. On top of that, the sangria was really good! My boyfriend is a lover of French toast so to no surprise he ordered the French toast breakfast with a side of breakfast potatoes (not pictured). He had his reservations about the French toast when our food was brought to us so quickly. He was worried that it may be under cooked. He was left shocked when he took his first couple of bites and realized it was cooked just right! All in all, we WILL be back! read more

Wowza - really, really good lunch. Our GPS brought us in the other side of the mall, so we weren't sure if we were going to find it, but once we made it past all the other stores, there it was! We sat outside and our server quickly arrived at our table. She brought our drinks and we got in our food orders. The food came out quickly and was amazing! My wife got the chicken salad wrap. The chicken salad was oozing out, but not in a bad way! The wrap was nicely crisp on the bottom and nicely enveloped the meal. Now, my wife doesn't really care for bacon, and she thought the bacon on the wrap was delicious! I had a few bites and wholeheartedly agree - it was meaty, smoky, and wonderful. I got the Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak. It was a zingy combination of meat, onions, and a generous helping of Buffalo sauce. It was piping hot and served on a soft bun. The Macaroni Salad was also very tasty - good veggies and a nice dressing. Our server checked in on us frequently and refilled our drinks before they ran dry. We'll definitely keep this on our list of favorite places in the area. read more

Went here after dropping daughter at the airport. Once we were seated, noticed we were the only ones in here over 60 years olds. The place is loud both with voices and music. Service was good along with food. I had the waffle special with 2 eggs and bacon, eggs cooked as requested and bacon had a good taste. The waffle was firm, I had a warm strawberry sauce with it, it was very good. My wife had a eggs and sausage sandwich, which she enjoyed. Plenty of mimosa's flowing thru the place on Sunday am read more

Excellent food and great service! Get the Philly! This restaurant is well worth the visit! Support Local Businesses!
