Brookes Restaurant & Lounge, Hancock Bridge Pkwy, Cape Coral, Fl., Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I order the a special of the day, a blacken fish sandwich with cole slaw and fries.
Blacken should be spicy. So I made the special request for then to kick it up. They did.
Around here anything that suppose to be spicy is wimpy. You must ask to ensure.
The fish was blacken on a toasted bun. A fantastic side of cole slaw. Creamy, sweet a bit tart best in the area. I got a cup of chili. Not so good. Lots of ground beef and beans. But TOO sweet from the tomatoes. Its needs more cumin, cayenne pepper and onions.
Large portion of fries.
My taste buds are more sophisticated than the local yodels so I have to kick things up a notch.
All for 11 bucks or so. Plus a additional bottomless soda pop.
Generally this place always has good chow.
Service was grand. When in doubt on what to eat this is the place to go.

Brookes, Hancock Bridge Pkwy, N. Ft. Myers, FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food.
I ordered via bitesquad. It was delivered quick and hot. My only issued was spilling of the gravy. Stuff happens
I tried the pot roast with garlic bread, green beans mash taters and gravy $12.00
When I picked up the bag it felt heavy...a good sign...
Though the bread was cold it tasted good..
Lots of beef, good sized beans and mash potatoes.
Compared to others in the area great tasting nice sized portion.
A real thumbs up.
I have been here before I will go back.

Brookes Restaurant & Lounge, Hancock Bridge, North Fort Myers, Fl. Here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.
I went for the special , cajun fish and black beans & rice. The fish was perfectly cooked ,season with cajun spices, BUT dumbed down for the wimpy taste buds of floridians. Just not spicy as you would find in the bayou.
The black beans was flavorful with a touch of salsa. But again I needed to add hot sauce.
I like my food like I like my women, HOT & SPICY.
Service was excellent.
Well folks here is my 2 cents on the food & some chit chat..... WOW I was so suprized at the large portion of fish. I have been passing by this none descript end of a small strip mall for too long. This was a Saturday lunch special. A cajun fried fish sandwich. The filet could have made 2 sandwiches. Now it said cajun but it was down beaten for the unsophisticated taste buds of floridian... Not really spicy. But it was very tasty. It was fried to perfection. Tartar sauce was ok. Cole slaw average. You have a choice of regular fries, fresh Amijo (potato chips)or waffle fries. Next time I will get the waffle fries.
Over all this was the best fish sandwich I have had in my 4 years of eating fish.( Lets note I have had more seafood in the last 4 years than in my entire life ;-(. .....I am a meat carnivore by nature and choice...)
Plus the waitress and other staff did a outstanding. Thumbs up job. I will be back soon to try other entrees.
It's a great palace to meet friends for a drink and karaoke. The food is not bad, but it's not the best you'll ever have. Service is hit or miss.
5 star local bar food with good prices and cold drinks. Pinky is the nicest bartender around and has been there forever welcoming thirsty patrons.
Overall I loved the atmosphere, it reminded me of my family and the gatherings we would have when I was younger. The food was good however, it was lacking a little in flavor. The cornbread, mashed potatoes and fish were well flavored but the veggies and the fry nugget dish needed a little more there in my opinion. I ordered mine with garlic seasoning and I could taste absolutely none of that. The fried pickles were superb!!! Always love them, they were well sliced and breaded and the sauce was delicious.
We have been told about Brooks for a couple of months and we finally found a time to go in and try it. Pulling into the parking lot, it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. I have to say when I walked in, it turned into the most pleasant surprise. From amazing prices to awesome food. And servers who absolutely loved their jobs and cared about you as the customer.
Come hungry because you will leave extremely full...even if you share a meal and an appetizer.
We had a fun time. The waitress was on top of things and the order was delivered to us in a timely manner. The food was delivered hot and was good. The drinks, vodka and soda were mixed well, not too strong (for my wife) and not too weak (for me 😊). We'll definitely be going back!
Lively no fuss neighborhood spot well know for its solid well priced good eats like prime rib and don't skip dessert with the fried oreos! Super friendly staff, great cocktails, and occasional entertainment. It's a thumbs up!
This is very cool place to grab a bite to eat and a drink. Good food and priced good. Also believe they have live music place was poppn. 💯🔥Nice staff. Will definitely be back
The atmosphere was fun and energetic. Local place, they were singing Happy Birthday and Anniversary to people in restaurant. Service was great as well. Food was good, and good prices.

Best American-style food I've had. Amazing Nugget Mountain Melt and country fried steak sandwich. Didn't even need salt because the fries (waffle) already had enough salt from the seasoning and were coated well! Will eat here again and recommend.
My family has been coming here for years and the food and atmosphere is still the best! If you want to belly up to the bar or just sit down and eat some food either way is a great place to come the staff is always welcoming and friendly and the food is always on point!
First time here after driving past for years and it was FANTASTIC. Burgers are the best in the COUNTY. Corn nuggets & mac&chz balls were great. 1/2 of my burger I had for breakfast and it was delicious even cold
A restaurant centered on the local crowd. The food is basic comfort food prepared well. This is a reliable, good experience. We appreciate the hard work the servers and bartenders put into making sure everyone is well taken care of. Prices are reasonable and the energy is good. Our go to restaurant.
Fantastic! It’s a great place to go with the family. The food is delicious, especially the sissy nuggets and the staff is just as great! Danielle was our waitress and she was so sweet!
I have been a customer for 30 years. Best family experience and friends who care! Food is the best and bartenders the friendly people who want to see you come again. Love it for karaoke.
Really good wings! The fresh potatoes chips were really good too. The beer was cold & went down pretty quick!

When my son and I entered the place we got seated right away which I like. A waitress came and got our order. I ordered a seafood platter of fried shrimp,
Fish and clams. It was good, but a little over fried. We also had 4 big fried Maccaroni and cheese which are very good hot. We also enjoyed watching a hockey tournament while we ate.
This is one of my favorite spots to visit when I get the chance! Great food, good people, and the beer is always cold. The sissy nuggets are my favorite but everything on the menu is delicious.
