Classic Eggs Benedict with Hash Brown Casserole
Elaine P.

We've been vacationing in Bonita Springs for more than a dozen years, but this was our first visit to Poached. It probably won't be our last. Great breakfast and lunch menu. Hard to make a choice with so many appealing options. DH enjoyed his Classic Eggs Benedict with Hash Brown Casserole. I opted for a seasonal lunch special: a scoop of chicken salad with cranberries on a bed of greens with apple, pinepple, candied pecans, cucumber, etc. Came with a cup of tomato soup (which I did not finish) and a slice of spice bread. I also had a mimosa. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. The interior is rather plain and could use some refreshing. Seemed a bit tired and dated.

Biscuits and gravy plate
Darrin B.

Very friendly service and big portions, however, sausage gravy and the plain scrambled eggs had an unusual flavor. The flavor was just a little off putting, something that just doesn't belong. The stuft french toast was very good and so was the hashbrown casserole. A solid 3 stars.

The American

Poached 10/15/2024 - Bonita Springs, FL Poached is a welcoming and clean restaurant located in a shopping center. Our waitress, Melany, was exceptionally friendly and pleasant. I ordered the American Breakfast ($12.99) along with iced tea ($3.25). The breakfast included two eggs, toast, fresh seasonal fruit, a choice of potatoes, and a selection of proteins--bacon, sausage, ham, kielbasa, apple chicken sausage, Canadian bacon, or corned beef hash. My eggs were cooked perfectly over-easy, but I requested the bacon well done, and it ended up a bit too crisp--my mistake. I opted to skip the potatoes and was offered extra fruit, which I gladly accepted. However, half of the fruit was a bit under-ripe, which was disappointing. As a thoughtful touch, our server offered us iced tea to go, which I thought was incredibly kind. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Poached. The photos are from their website.

Fire starter benedict
Amy H.

Very nice breakfast spot! Lots of outdoor seating. Wonderful gentleman serving as host. Good service. Really cool artwork throughout restaurant. We had the 2 and too with kielbasa and the fire starter Benedict. We also ordered the hash brown casserole which was crispy and delicious.

Healthy breakfast

I usually get it with their steamed vegetables love that the server gave me extra butter. One thing I will get every time I visit Mel's is the chicken soup. Nothing puts me in a better mood than chicken soup. Dealing with soup. I am 16 years past 60. I decided that when I turned 60, there is an unwritten law that you must eat soup. I still obey this rule. I like this location because of the total 50s vibe on the exterior.

I'm a pescatarian, so it's hard to find a diner with enough options to fit the bill. Mel's does. I am much closer to the Naples locations, but the Bonita Mel's is so much cleaner and nicer. Some dishes are made with different/better ingredients here. Presentation is better. The interior is really nice and actually comfortable. The staff here is really great, too. We make the drive for those reasons. I tend to get shrimp in various forms, favorite being Boom Boom (although they're too heavy on sauce). Grouper sandwich is good. The fried apps are really really good. Salads are good. Husband likes the soups. Burgers and other sandwiches are repeat orders at my table. Most things on the menu seem to be hand cut/made. Certain things are locally sourced (says on back of menu). I think it's good food and large portions for the price. For the area, definitely!

Robot power I headed…read moreto Fort Myers yesterday and one of my reasons was to visit 41 Diner. I like visiting diners, they usually have big menus, large portions, and are reasonably priced. This particular diner had something else I was interested in, a robot food runner. My breakfast of choice was their Meat Lover's Omelet, an omelet that had cheddar cheese, cubes of ham, some ground sausage, and included in there someplace were little pieces of bacon. As far as omelets go, this one was average, nothing out of the ordinary. They didn't have their Home Fries, so my side was hash browns, which are almost designed to be uniformly average. 41 Diner has a definite diner look from the outside, inside didn't have neon or chrome but it's a large comfortable place not unlike a favorite diner. It was almost empty when I stopped in. My service was great and the food didn't take long at all to arrive. As for the robot, I didn't get to see it in action. Because they weren't really busy and I was a single diner i.e. not many plates to bring to my table, my food was delivered normally. At the end of my meal I did ask about the robot and learned they do use it. They can load it up and have it go to any table. The server will transfer the dishes to the table and send the robot back to wherever it hangs out. She told me it was very helpful and even offered to demo it for me. Here is an old school diner with point of sale checkout machines and a robot. Cool.

The exterior is definitely diner but inside it's a full on restaurant with a beautiful bar,…read moreamazing food and the best service. We met the owner Ali who works so hard to make sure each diner has the perfect experience. Our server Corinne was outstanding, as well as the rest of the staff we encountered. The menu is vast and will please any palate. The yum yum shrimp was a tasty, spicy moist appetizer that anyone would enjoy. My strip steak was seasoned to perfection with mashed potatoes and seasoned veggies. My husband loved his baby back ribs. Large bar area but also suitable for families. They also have a robot that delivers a portion of the meal which added to the dining experience. Lots of luscious desserts should you save room. Only open 6 weeks but with service and food this good I suspect once the word gets out how great this place is, good luck getting in.

Food is really creative, but many of the dishes are just ungodly sweet. Charred kale salad was probably the best kale salad I ever had, perfectly delicious and highly recommended. The roasted Brussels sprouts, on another hand, were really, really sweet. The French toast with duck was really creative, but again, really, really, sweet. Seafood fried rice was excellent, very tasty. The "cinnamon roll" desert was just a riot. It was huge in size and delicious to the last morsel. Excellent service, prompt and attentive. Recommended, but if you don't like sweet cuisine, you will need to be careful with your choice.

We ordered two open-face roast beef sandwiches and a soup and half-sandwich, and everything was delicious! Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time.

No chance of getting a hamburger there. So we finally decided to go to Mel's Diner! Here we can get whatever we want and a home cooked meal. Jason was our very knowledgeable and professional server. He suggested the chef's special-shrimp scallops and red snapper and a side of vegetable rice. At first I was hesitant because I expected something like you see in a Chinese Buffet. But this was actually very tasty and covered with a light sauce. It also came with soup or salad. Dave got the salad and I got the chicken noodle soup. I wanted matzoh ball soup but there was a $3 up charge for a cup. The soup should have been called chicken veggie with two noodles. Very disappointing. We opted to share an order of rice pudding and it was served in an ice cream sundae glass with whipped cream. Delish! Jason was extra attentive and made sure that we had refills and everything we needed. As always Mel's saved the day.
