    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.

    Rueben-eggs over medium with sour kraut cheddar cheese on an everything bagel!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

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!

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.
