    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.

    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!

    The best breakfast spot in all of my Fort Myers! The breakfast grilled cheese and buffalo breakfast wrap are our favorite things! Hidden gem, you cant miss with anything you order here.

    They open the door with their feet. The door and the floor don't look like they've been cleaned since they opened

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    LOVE this place! The ambience & employees are always super friendly, Ryan always comes out & asks how everything is. Food is amazing, also if you're looking for a really good cheesesteak they have a lot of them! I love their breakfast, have had a few different of their items, all have been great!

    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!!

    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.

    The Eatery by Ryan is a cozy spot with amazing flavors and friendly staff. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and full of taste. Highly recommend!

    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.

    Wanted to try something local and new and Motor City was on my "must try list." Can I say, this is…read morea great revival to the old Pizza Hut that used to take up this space! First thing our group noticed was how clean inside was! And being that it was lunch hour on a Thursday afternoon, quite busy and still tidy! BTW we also found the men's & women's bathrooms to be in tip-top cleanly shape, and in a restaurant, that says a lot! You can also see into the kitchen from the dining area and it too was swept, clean and stocked. There are high-tops, low tops and a few booths for any type of seating comfort you choose. Since it was "seat yourself" we chose a low top for our party of four. Fresh brewed iced tea and Pepsi's to start. We all ordered and waited perusing the table menus showing daily specials, happy hour specials (beer and wine) plus fish platters. Great options and something for everyone. Our friends ordered the classic cheeseburgers with fries, I had the grilled chicken melt and my hubby opted for breakfast, the pecan waffle and a side of bacon. Our friend's burgers came out picture perfect; fluffy bun, generous lettuce, tomato and onion and crispy hot fries. They said it was probably one of the best burgers in the area. My husband's pecan waffle was crisp but fluffy on the inside, not dry. There was a light powdered sugar dusting and an ample amount of pecans. The bacon was crisp, not greasy and nice long strips as if baked not fried. My chicken melt was delicious! Grilled chicken breast, bacon, tomato, Swiss cheese and a "special sauce" all toasted between crisp buttery rye bread. I opted for onion rings and they were stellar. You know, where the outside is crisp but the onion is cooked translucent so that when you bite the onion ring the onion doesn't slide out in one long run?!! Perfect!! Our service was exceptional and the food presentation was great. Kudos to the owners for the service and quality effort they have put into this establishment, it truly shows. This will most likely become our "go-to" local spot!! Next review will be the Coney chili dog!
