Fort Myers: Take Out Treasures

• February 29, 2016

Do you want to grab a quick, tasty bite and take it down to the beach to enjoy al fresco? Then forget about the usual fast-food chains! The Fort Myers area has a wealth of takeout options that will ensure that you eat well – without breaking the back.
 

A Passion for Pizza

In Fort Myers, there’s a lot of pizza to choose from: Grimaldi’s at Bell Tower Shops; Blue Moon on College Parkway; Fine Folk on Daniels Parkway; and Downtown Pizza – which is an institution in downtown Fort Myers.
 

Go Retro

Farmer’s Market Restaurant: Since 1952, Farmer’s Market Restaurant in central Fort Myers has served hearty southern fare like chicken and dumplings, meatloaf, fried chicken, okra and tomatoes, collards, squash casserole, corn fritters and corn muffins.
 

Craving for Chinese

Ginger Bistro is hands down the best Chinese food in the region. It specializes in authentic New York-style fare, so don’t look for egg foo yung or chow mein here.
 

Cafeteria-Style Treats

Jason’s Deli has a wealth of options, from vegetarian to hearty meat dishes, a salad bar and free ice cream for dessert. There are branches in Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Estero.
 

Italian Charm

Fabio’s is a family run neighborhood Italian restaurant that has been run by the same family for 20 years. It’s in the hands of the second generation now, but it’s still serving great pizza, pasta, veal, chicken and more in generous portions.
 

Go Greek

Right on Times Square, Plaka on the Beach boasts a prime view of the Gulf and it serves classic Greek food – gyros, Greek salads, stuffed grape leaves, baklava – as well as burgers. It’s open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is vegetarian friendly.
 
Book yourself a stay at the beachfront Best Western PLUS Beach Resort Hotel this spring. It’s the ideal place to chill out and enjoy the uninterrupted views of the Gulf of Mexico from your private balcony.
