The breakfast here was inedible and the waitress was SO rude and inattentive. When she finally asked how the food was after seeing my untouched plate, I told her it was not good at all. The scrambled eggs were runny and unappealing, the cheese was not melted at all, the bacon and potatoes were SO burnt. She didn’t apologize and didn’t care to try to improve our experience. Truly the worst customer service I have ever received. There are many better options in the area, don’t bother going here.

We arrived to the restaurant to find there was a 15-20 minute wait - no problem! However, we ended up waiting for nearly 40 minutes to be seated. We also observed people who arrived after us being seated before us. After placing our order, my pregnant friend asked if she could have her toast from her meal a bit earlier. Without asking any follow-up questions, the waitress just said "No" quite curtly and walked away. We would have happily paid for an extra side of toast if prompted. We waited almost 30 minutes for our food to arrive - which left much to be desired. In the time that we

Crave served a solid breakfast with just a few small challenges.
The meatloaf omelette was great along with the hash browns. I rye toast was almost embarrassingly small. It was 2 thin slices of rye that was basically a half a piece cut in half.
Cheese omelette was excellent with 3 types of cheese. Grits were very good as well as the white toast. Complete opposite of the rye. It was very think and yummy.
Biggest letdown was the homemade corned beef hash. At 12 for a side I would have expected so much more. It was bone dry, flavorless and oily.

We got there at 10:45. It was busy so we waited because we understood. We got into our booth at about 11:20am. We had 2 small kids with us that were getting hangry so we tried putting their order in first so it would come out sooner but we were told that since the kitchen was backed up they wouldn't separate our tables orders. We understood, not a big deal. A couple minutes go by and our orders are in. Our waitress was very nice, but she was obviously busy and wasn't very attentive. We waited for our food for over 30 minutes, and when we received it, it was completely flavorless. The French toast

This was the best veggie omelet I've probably ever eaten. I even had it with no cheese today and it was so delicious and fresh. Loved the flavorful tomato on top. Coffee and server was on point. He explained that the eggs were fresh from the owners farm and you can tell they are fresh from taste. The only complaint I had was I wasn't able to substitute the potatoes or bread for a side of strawberries. So that small cup of strawberries was an additional $3. So maybe just more flexibility for customers to make a healthy choice if they need to. But I wouldn't knock a star for that-

My wife and I were with two other couples vacationing in Cape Coral. Saw this place and decided to check it out as all the wives were wanting Mamosas. Crave did not disappoint! They were very good! The food was fantastic...seasoned well, cooked perfectly. Our waiter was great in explaining menu items and making sure we felt welcomed. All in all, a great place!!

Been visiting Crave for years most Sundays. Last time certainly pushed me away. The torn plastic seat cushions are not charming they are dirty and displays a lack of care. If they can’t maintain the seats what is the kitchen like? Food seems to be going downhill. Out of a few staple menu items. During these crazy times I try to cut slack but they seem to have reached a new level of not caring. Service is always good.

Not a whole lot of seating, but if you get a spot, it's totally worth it. I found this place on Yelp while traveling from out of state for a family vacation. We stopped in for brunch after our flight before we could check in to our house.
Amazing service
Amazing made from scratch food.
Tons of variety.
Not crazy on the price for what you're getting.
I would definitely go back or recommend to anyone visiting the area! Yum!

Worth the long wait! Loved everything about this place. I'm always on the hunt for good brunch places and a flawless eggs Benedict paired with a mimosa and they got everything right. I recommend the watermelon mimosa if you like something sweet and the crab Benedict with some grits. I borrowed a few bites off my friends plate of the banana granola pancakes and they were delicious! The server/bartender Chris is amazing! He brought great energy and excellent customer service to the place.
The decor is so different and catchy, i hope they move to a stand-alone location so they can offer more

I decided to take a girl here this morning because she had never been. I was bragging about how different it is. I had been here three other times and always purchased the same thing. Shrimp and grits! I believe she was a little shocked at the prices, but I confirmed that it would be well worth it! She ordered a veggie omelette I of course had to have shrimp and grits.
What I received this morning was very disappointing. There were 4 to 5 over cooked shrimp, the grits were tan colored and very runny as if they were Yesterdays grits. The top concoction was loaded with grease and I had to use napkins

One of my favorite little hole in the wall spots in Fort Myers for sure! I get the shrimp & grits every single time and it's one of the best I've ever had. I love the recipe so much that I got some pointers from them and have started trying to make it at home as well. I've tried a lot of dishes from there that friends have gotten but the shrimp and grits is always the best!
I have never ever ever had anything less than great service from here & I've been here probably 25 times... I think there's really a lot to be said for that.
Definitely a very busy place on

Yet another great meal at Crave.. this was the turkey pot pie.. a simple enough meal but made better than our mom could ever do.. not kidding. What's even more amazing is that I believe this meal is better re-heated (which you will do because it's huge)
Also pictured is the breakfast tostada and the biscuits and gravy with pork chop. U seriously can't go wrong with anything on there menu.

Stopped by for breakfast after reading the Yelp reviews and was excited to try because it's a farm to table restaurant. My son ordered eggs with the biscuits and sausage gravy and home fries and I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs and toast. After 45 minutes our meal still wasn't there so I let our server know we were in a bit of a hurry since I was headed back home and wanted to get on the road. We couldn't understand the holdup since there was only 3 other tables being served. She was very apologetic and after about another 10 minutes our food arrived.

First time dining out since covid. They had some outside tables we we took advantage of that. All staff had masks and no tap water was served. They just did bottles instead which was a good idea.
This was The first time we got the fries. They were amazing. They reminded me of carnival fries I use to get. I also got the hash Benedict which was as good as I remember. This place always comes through!

We LOVE Crave and haven't been back for ages. We decided to brave it for lunch. We sat outside because no one else was outside. We had the Monte Cristo, fries, and the banana crunch pancake. The fries are simply out of this world!!! They are salty and have a great crunch. The Monte Cristo was delicious, my only small con was that the bread was a bit soggy. I love the banana crunch pancakes. They are my favorite. This is hands down one of my favorite spots. Always an above average meal.

All organic and farm to table breakfast spot in Fort Myers! Everything is so fresh and they have a chalkboard wall that shows the specials of the day. This includes: omelets, soups, breakfast entrees, and drinks! All the bread is baked fresh in house as well.
They have mimosas too for $6-$7!
They have a wide variety of menu items, breakfast and lunch! I could eat here every day!!!
The service was a 10/10 and the food topped that score!
I had the mushroom omelet with Swiss cheese. This included shiitake, button and portobello mushrooms! IT WAS AMAZING! I had this with the grits and a biscuit
