    Clam Chowder
    Brianna C.

    Stopped in here while on vacation and it ended up being a really solid meal. It's a smaller place and we had about a 30-minute wait, but it was worth it. We started with the Boom Boom grouper bites and they were pretty good -- crispy, flavorful, and a great appetizer to share. I also had a cup of the clam chowder and it was amazing. Super creamy, really flavorful, and loaded with clams. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. For my entrée I had the lobster with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The lobster itself was good, just not the best I've ever had and a little on the tougher side. The mashed potatoes, however, were incredible and tasted totally homemade -- easily the best part of the plate. The broccoli was simple but good. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with great chowder, tasty appetizers, and standout mashed potatoes. If you're in the area and don't mind a short wait at a smaller spot, it's definitely worth checking out.

    Great local stop, on the smaller size for a restaurant so be prepared to wait. There are many specials here, so always check them out. The staff is always lovely here and working so hard. The entire Decore is so cute, they've done amazing with this place. Check it out.

    When friends post restaurants, I save them because we live in the middle of nowhere. So when we went to ft myers today, I looked at the places I had saved. This one checked all the boxes. Was there a long wait? Yes but once you are seated all is smooth. The waitress was very friendly. Brought out our food quickly. The place is small but it is definitely a happening place. Most definitely will go back.

    Got here as they opened up so as to avoid the crowd.

    A friend and I decided to patronize a local establishment for lunch on Monday. We arrived around 1:00 pm and a line of customers were enthusiastically awaiting their turn to enter the restaurant. We were greeted by the Hostess who informed us that we would have a twenty minute wait to be seated. I'm thinking , oh boy , this place must have delicious food due to the crowd of customers waiting to enter. Well , at last , we were allowed entry and we were seated near the front door. My friend is handicapped and has mobility issues. Nevertheless, we sat down at a small booth and were presented with menus. My friend ordered oysters and Clam chowder soup. I ordered the Shrimp basket and I also ordered a bowl of Clam Chowder soup. The soup arrived first and I thought it was amazing ! It was savory and rich with flavor. My Shrimp quickly arrived and I took a bite of one of the Shrimp. Awwwe , I was disappointed. The Shrimp was breaded but seemed somewhat undercooked. Nevertheless, I filled up on the bowl of soup and managed to consume 3 of the breaded Shrimp. I was full and gave my companion the remaining Shrimp in my basket. My friend devoured the Shrimp. Our waitress Christina was busy , yet quick and efficient in rendering service to our table. The restaurant is small but cute and somewhat charming. I'll come back for the Clam Chowder, it was amazing. I'll have to try a different entre other than the breaded Shrimp basket. I live close enough to the Twisted Lobster for a return visit , if only for the soup. I give this place 3 Stars for now. Clam chowder was great , the breaded Shrimp not so much.

    Four 2-oz fried lobster dinner with fries. Fantastic!

    Wonderful place to eat. Always a great experience. Expect to wait. But it's worth the wait.

    Clam Poutine Fries
    Heino P.

    Consistently Great! We've gone back several more times and want to share more about them. Clam Poutine Fries from the appetizers ($15.99). Spectacular! They top french fries with deep fried clam strips, then top that with clam chowder and bacon bits. Lightly battered meaty clam strips with a nice clam flavor. No shortage of clams in the chowder. And bacon bits add that little something extra. I ate this as a meal. Shuck Club members can enjoy the Twin Tail Special on Wednesdays ($18.99). Two four ounce lobster tails were joined by a flavorful cole slaw and corn on the cob. My wife is a lobster fiend and loves this dish. Great tasting lobstah! Thursdays offer several Trio Specials ($15.99) for Shuck Clubbers. I had the Full Rack N Shrimp with Fries and Slaw. So the rib rack is not the huge rack the length of a cookie sheet pan that we all know. This is dinner plate size rack. Maybe a small pig? Great flavor and tender. 5 nice size skewered shrimp sit atop fries and are joined with slaw. Shrimp can be prepared several ways - I chose blackened. An excellent meal. My wife had the Shrimp and Lobster Trio Thursday Special. A small lobster tail joined by 5 shrimp, skewered and grilled, atop fries and slaw. She loved it. We love this place!

    First time trying The Twisted Lobster! We got a local beer from Ft. Mayers called High Five IPA (delicious)! As an app we ordered Thai Calamari (also delicious)! And for food we ordered the Triple Tail Reuben, Blackened Mahi Tacos (the coconut rice is amazing), and Gulf Grouper! The restaurant is decorated cute. We sat inside but they have outdoor seating too. Service was great, our food came out quick and everyone is very nice. We're definitely coming back!

    Seafood anyone? In the southwest corner of Florida. Cape Coral has a great casual seafood spot. The Twisted Lobster awaits your presence. With indoor and outdoor patio dining. Plates of Thai shrimp on coconut rice, a ribeye and lobster tail, creamy clam chowder and trays of oysters are on the menu. The prices are right. The service is great. There is a reason this place is packed but the wait is minimal. Support local businesses especially the good ones. Twisted Lobster is amazing. Eat here if you like seafood.

    Came by again for some food. Service girls were awesome. And the food was delicious. We always stop in here to get some snack before we head home. It's a great spot

    Still Tracks. They've updated their air conditioning and it's more comfortable inside. Team Clam chowder and Haddock Basket. This is my #1 in Cape Coral

    We had a great experience here! This staff is one of the best service staff around! We were told 25 minutes wait and ordered beer outside. The bartender said their computer was down to just tell the server what you ordered inside. Which we did and loved the trust from them. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder. It was very good. It has a little kick that we loved. My wife ordered shrimp and lobster she loved. I ordered the Ruben it was very good! Did not have room for dessert! Place is very well ran and highly recommended! It's a hole in the wall but the food and service is worth it!

    Do they take reservations?

    I don't think so, I believe it's first come, first served. We got there and put our name on a list.

    Any gluten free options?

    Yes. My husband has a gluten allergy and got blackened fish with coconut rice and a vegetable which he thought was excellent. Can't have their fries, but he's used to avoiding that. Another family member has dairy allergy and there weren't as many… Read more

I came here by myself and sat at the bar, and was welcomed like family by Heather and chef Angela. The restaurant is a nice size and feels very approachable, whether you come for a casual meal or want a higher end experience it is comfortable. Heather helped me pick out a great entree and they did a substitution with the sauce for me. The house made meatballs at only $1 each to add to any entree are well worth it! I took extra home. Chef Angela came out to talk to me and we had a great conversation. This place reminded me of the small Italian places in the north where I'm from, where the chef greets the guests at the end of their meals and the bartenders and servers know their guests orders by heart.

I was not only inconvenienced by having to coordinate the return of my card, but I later discovered the restaurant charged both my meal and the stranger's meal to my account. I have spent weeks trying to resolve this with management. Despite multiple calls and promises of a resolution, sending me a refund check that bounced, the manager continues to stall, making excuses and asking me for the other patron's contact information rather than fixing their mistake. Safe to say, they do not prioritize customer security or honest billing. Proceed with caution.

Our waitress was fast, efficient and really sweet. She quickly brought to go containers for our food and drinks. The ambiance of the restaurant gave it a very homey and rural feel, which was just fine with us. It sits nexts to the state farmers market which was not running during our visit.
