Patrick Quade This feels authentic. We got the steamed seafood platter, just show them this picture, incredible. I love the seasoning on the shrimp and the clams and oysters tasted so fresh. None of that awful ‘Did I just eat vibrio vulnificus’ flavor we all fear.

Chris Lynch They pack you into a barely habitable seat and cant have decent concessions. Food choices are better at a 3rd world gas station.

Chris Ritz Excellent pizza. I’m an enthusiast who’s eaten pizza all over the world and at all the famous places. This Marguerite pizza is right there with the greats. Maybe the crust could have been proofed a little longer for more depth, but I won’t take anything away from it. Also, maybe could have raised the pizza in the dome at the end for more of a top cook - but again, won’t take anything away. This is award winning pie. The crust was well made, the perfect chew and crunch with the start of a flavor depth. Sauce uses great tomatoes - guessing San Marzano. They’re enhanced with a tiny bit of salt and evoo. Yummy. The high moisture mozzarella is a great choice. And the fresh basil. Wow. Overall - excellent pie. Can’t wait to come back. Luckily my sister lives 5 minutes away.

Richard Coradi The restaurant was crowded on the Saturday we went. We waited probably 20 minutes between sit down and receiving our meals. The biscuits and gravy are the best i have ever eaten. The eggs are pretty good too. Staff was busy as heck, but still nice enough to get anything you requested right away. I have been here a couple of times since my original post and the food and service is still very good.

Ryan Verville I had the sampler at Toula’s Gyro Shop, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. Everything was authentic, fresh, and awesome flavor—you can truly taste the care that goes into each dish. The meat was perfectly seasoned, every bite was a reminder of why Greek cuisine is so beloved. What really stood out, in addition to the amazing food, was the excellent customer service. The gentleman who checked me in was polite, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He gave great recommendations, made sure I had everything I needed, and even checked in to see how I was enjoying the meal. That kind of attention to detail makes all the difference. Ive traveled from New York to Florida, and this is hands-down some of the best Greek food I’ve ever had. Whether youre a long-time fan of Greek or just discovering it, Toula’s is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!

Dave Bianchi I actually heard about this place reading the in flight magazine on an Allegiant flight. Sounded cool so I thought I would give it a try. We were immediately greeted with a smile and told to pick any table we would like. From there the service was very attentive and charming. We ordered drinks which were delivered immediately. The entire time we were there our server continuously checked on us to make sure we didn’t need/want anything. We ordered food and it was outstanding! It came out quickly and tasted great! We ordered three items and it was under $25! Are you kidding me! The food presentation is equal to something you see at a high end, very expensive restaurant. Great food, great service, great prices, great vibes! We will be back!

B T Bellino We really enjoyed our lunch and had high quality of authentic fresh dough products. Garlic knots and Calazone, Peroni Beer on tap and Moscato Wine We were treated like we owned the joint. If so, I would be proud to have a piece of it. My return visit was just as good!

Patrick Quade Truly felt authentic, their sauerkraut balls are sauerkraut with some sort of meat, out of this world. The schnitzel is so so tasty can’t stop thinking about it, I got the European sampler platter.

Brittany Poder Made reservations for lunch on the outside deck absolutely gorgeous! Was our first time and have been celebrating my husband this weekend for his 60th birthday! He had a Pacific Grouper Wrap and I had Grilled Chicken Teriyaki on a croissant. Mine was overcooked and dry but server couldn’t have taken care of it any better. In no time at all I had a juicy and very tasty sandwich and I enjoyed every last bite. I will not do any kind of deduction whatsoever in my rating. Easy mistake to have happen easily and perfectly corrected. I had my hush puppies, a gorgeous view and conversation nothing else matters to me! Service was great and they were hustling hard while smiles and friendliness making sure everyone was happy. We will definitely return and soon so worth the 30 minute drive!

John Yard Our friends just introduced us to this gem, Peace River Beer Company, in Punta Gorda. One of the BEST, authentic Thai restaurants weve found. The food was amazing! We started with edamame and crab rangoon. The crab rangoon was incredible! I think the best Ive ever had. It has a touch of their homemade panang curry in it. Jess had the panang curry, and I had the chicken basil. The panang curry was amazing and the chicken basil was very tasty. We had a taste of the chicken pad Thai and the crunchy tuna roll, both were great. Our friend swears by the fried rice, but she wouldnt share (I guess its THAT good!). They have 20 craft beers on tap and they have wine, no hard liquor. I highly suggest giving this place a try!
