John Ski's House of Breakfast and Lunch in Punta Gorda Florida gets a two thumbs up from this reviewer. First the food... I ordered the crab cake Benedict with country potatoes and sausage gravy. The large lump crab meat proved to be the best I've had down here in Florida. I can't stand bread filled crab cakes. These were light fluffy and full of flavor. The eggs were poached to perfection and the Hollandaise sauce whether it was packet or homemade I couldn't tell. It was good enough for me to think it was homemade.
The sausage gravy, although a little thick for my liking was bursting with flavor. Coffee was amazingly strong which I love. And just as important the water was good. The portions we're very large but not overwhelming. It's always nice to be able to take some home for a little snack. And that's exactly what I did. Service was fantastic. Attentive and courteous. My meal came out very fast. But it did not look rushed. The owner was on the property working the register and came and had a conversation about the Detroit Lions with me. :-) I didn't tell him my real view on them but we had a chuckle. :-) the place is a little hard to see if you don't know where you're going or follow your GPS exact. But if you happen to miss it you will be missing out on a fabulous meal at a fabulous establishment. The food and service obviously speaks for itself in volumes of people. I'm told it can be very busy until around 10 a.m. if that helps.
So so good. Food was amazing and service was awesome as well. You can definitely tell that regulars are common and they get to know the people they serve. When it comes to prices, breakfast could be a bit cheaper. $33.00 for two people is a bit expensive but the portions were great, food tasted awesome and it's just a super cute and quaint place. Definitely will be back and shall highly recommend to others!
anted to try the local breakfast, I was tired of the traditional breakfast taste, so I ordered something different today.
Sirloin Steak on Toasted Garlic Bread
Two eggs scrambled, then topped with hollandaise sauce and four grilled prawns. awesome😋👍
The waiters are very warm and friendly, come again next time.
Very cool breakfast and lunch spot! Loved the assortment of options on the menu and the food came quick and was tasty, eventho they were busy. Great service too.
The bayou was especially tasty, loaded with all the extras. You expect this area of US lobster shrimp, and a host of other added topped with a great holiday sauce. Mama’s platter was also very good. Came with options like pancake or French toast, two eggs and you can add fruit instead of hashbrowns for those carb friendly meals. We will be back. Forgot to take pictures till we were halfway through.
I had the Big Daddy's Lions Platter. Just a ton of food. It was all good. My wife had the Steak Platter. It was good and done medium as she asked. This is a nice diner type atmosphere. Even better if you are a Detroit Lions fan! Lots of pix, banners etc. The waitresses are all friendly and pleasant. There is plenty of parking. The restaurant was nearly full but we got seated quickly. Our food order came fast. I drove up from Cape Coral. And I will go back.
It's become one of our favorite after church brunch spots in PG! Our family loves it! Portions are phenomenal and priced just right.
First time here for both us...I got the pot roast omelet with gravy & my wife got the pot roast hash with gravy minus the eggs; she got a side of fruit instead...Our server (Angie) couldn't have been any nicer & prompt while taking care of us...
Last weekend we tried John Ski's House of Breakfast in Punta Gorda. I had the southern chicken benedict and my wife had the meat lovers omelet. The omelet had so much meat in it that it spilled out as you cut into it. The food was delicious and the portions were huge! You will not go hungry here. It was so good we went back again today. Highly recommend giving it a try!
It was fantastic!
Had just got into town and was starving. A quick Google search yielded John Ski's as a viable option, but the catch was they were closing in an hour!
We got there with about 45 mins to eat and there was only one other table so they were in closing mode.
All this being said the waitress came out with a smile and took our order and the food came out quickly and was exactly what I wanted and was absolutely delicious and with a fresh pot of coffee!
Had a great experience!
I highly recommend and will be back!
Thank you Wes & John Ski's staff for the amazing breakfast. My husband ordered Scrapple with his Omelet, said it is the BEST scrapple outside of PA. Like the Scrapple grandma would serve in her home (grew up E-Town Pennsylvania). Warm homestyle diner-type atmosphere. NOT greasy food at all, this is fresh & excellent. I had fresh biscuits w/omelet w/mushrooms & swiss cheese, loaded w/steak, no skimpy portions here. Excellent, large portions, great prices, wonderful homey atmosphere. Good prices & lots of options. Not at all disappointed. We plan to make this a monthly date breakfast stop : ) Thank you!!
I always try to support small businesses. This restaurant doesn't need my help, they are awesome. The food was unique change of pace. The crab infused meals were done right with great flavor. If you are looking for a place to eat, you wont be disappointed. The service was great as well.
