Fort Myers, Florida
We'll be travelling to Fort Myers Florida shortly, and I was just wondering what are some must-see sights in Florida for foodies?

i have to say... i was in Ft. Myers in November and while the area was very lovely and enjoyed my stay, i dont remember ANYTHING that we ate... well maybe the key lime pie ;) Not even the seafood stands out in my mind.. i remember being discouraged by this... BUT dont think i am a debbie downer!!! I would go back there tomorrow! make sure you go to sanibel island.... its wonderful there...

I live here in Fort Myers... can't say that much is really notable, unfortunately. And I'm not a fish-eater, so that doesn't help, either. My mother enjoyed Three Fishermen Seafood, just south of Colonial on the west side of 41 (Sam's Club plaza). If you're going down to Naples, Randy's Fishmarket always gets great reviews. A typical vacation-y place for a family is Cheeburger Cheeburger (various locations), but only because of the choices of sizes of burgers. Their shakes are excellent, though. If I were you I'd venture over to Sanibel Island; breakfast at the Lighthouse Cafe (call ahead for seating), lunch at The Hungry Heron (huge homemade portions), and a nice dinner at The Green Flash on Captiva.
I'm sad to say that we eat at chains most of the time. But if you're looking for a fun non-food thing to do, either rent Jetskis from Island Watersports at the Holiday Inn on Fort Myers Beach, or go on a dolphin cruise out of Sanibel Harbor (which is, ironically, not ON Sanibel, but just before). Feel free to email me if you need more suggestions. Oh, and bring your sunscreen! The sun is at its closest right now.

when i visit my parents there, we go to the split rail. it's a modest lil' family-run place with a great grouper sandwich and southern staples. it's the kind of place that i miss 'cause i live up north. don't know if that'd be of interest.
