We love this place for friendly service & outstanding fare. We always go when we are in Ft. Myers. Consistently very good regardless of what we order. Clean, quite atmosphere.
Food was great, service was a little slow at first but our server made up for it. We each had something different and all were very pleased with our choices.
Will return for sure.
Best food in Fort Myers... J. Rae is THE best server... and friend. Love this place because of him. Cannot wait to come here to spend time with him and enjoy great food. Great time! Thank you!'
Both my mom and I had the Alaskan King crab legs. Amazing best crab legs that I had forever. Our daughter had the raw oysters and lived them. My husband had the surf and turf and it was fantastic
We eat at The Prawnbroker every time we visit Ft. Myers 2/3 times per year. The fish here is fresh and excellent. I especially love the sea bass crusted in parmesan cheese with a lemon caper sauce. To die for! Everything we have had is delicious. Even my 4 yr old son loves the kids chicken strips because they aren't frozen/pre-made. They use big, juicy pieces of fresh chicken breast. The service here is wonderful, too. Had Patrick on our last visit and he was great. My one and only negative is the decor. It does feel a bit stuffy and "elderly". But not so much that it affects your meal.
Had dinner in early dec. very good fish! Lobster good too! Would go back nice atmosphere outside

Very good!! Good clam chowder, good broiled snapper, good grilled salmon, good broiled seafood platter! Good service too.
The interior is very nice, and food is delicious!
An Old Standby. Fort Myers is surprisingly weak on good seafood choices. Maybe its my ignorance on not knowing where to go. Prawnbroker has always been solid with crunchy shrimp and oysters Rockefeller among notable highlights.
Best seafood in s.w. by far ---highlights include,but not limited to grouper matanzas, lightly breaded scallops,and grilled mahi ! Oh , don't forget the manhattan clam chowder--best anywhere, even Manhattan ! ! Fair prices, good portions,and great service.
when are the oldest restaurant in Fort Myers. If you go before 5:30 get the early bird menu. All meals come with bread, salad, or choice of soup, a vegetable, and a choice of a potato. And then early bird menu, you can get halibut grouper, salmon and a few other choices for around $20. It’s very pleasant atmosphere. And the service is good. My friend ordered a white sangria, which is a very refreshing delicious drink with white wine and fruit in the drink. I recommend that.
This restaurant is over 40 years old. It has a fabulous old fashioned style with very delicious food.
The daily menu with fresh fish from
the ocean is pretty. The full menu is not overloaded, the fish is the star on the menu. If you have questions the staff is very friendly, helpful and attentive.
At the beginning of your visit you get fresh baked bread with butter. It was warm, crusty and tasted really good. Drinks were served very fast. The starters were also delicious, if you order a soup or a fish starter - you will love it. The soup tasted much better than expected.
The salmon and grilled plates were also very delicious. The grilled plate is on of the signature dishes. The portions were enough to get filled up but not much- perfect size.
It’s a recommendation to visit and dine in this beautiful and tasty restaurant if you are in this area.
If you like fish, you are completely right at this place.
I visited early evening this Sunday. The parking lot had many cars, but there was still ample parking. I was greeted with a smile and had the choice being seated in the dining room or a smaller dining room in the lounge. I chose the lounge. I greeted by a server within 5 minutes who gave me the dinner menu and the chef's special daily catch menu and took my cocktail order. When my cocktail arrived I ordered from the chef's special menu and had the baked stuffed grouper topped with a nice Newburg sauce. It was served with choice of soup or salad, choice of potato, fresh green beans, and a warm mini loaf of brown bread. It was prepared perfectly and was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaraunt. The food and service are top notch. They have fresh, raw seafood to go in the front of the restaraunt. They also have happy hour specials every day in the lounge.
Our server, Rebecca, was FABULOUS!! Extremely friendly, demonstrated extensive knowledge on menu items, answered several of our questions without hesitation or annoyance, and offered helpful menu suggestions! As noted in other reviews, the crowd and atmosphere are geared toward the more seasoned diners, but if you like the supper club dining experience and good value for the price point, this is the place for you!
The crispy grouper was two very large pieces served deep-fried. It was good, but it probably would have been better if we chose another preparation option like plan fried or if oven baked (if offered). We also had the salmon and rice, it was delicious! Both meals came with green beans (need to self season, fyi only), a side, and soup or salad. We upgraded our salad to a wedge salad, it was DELICIOUS! If you don't like a lot of dressing, make sure you ask for light dressing because they do not skimp on the dressing. The fish dip and ceasar salad with anchovies (added) were both very tasty. Ceaser dressing was very thick and creamy like we like it.

This is an amazing seafood place.
We had dietary restrictions, and our server, John, made sure everything was perfect.
It's a bit on the pricey side but worth every penny. Although worth every penny .
Each of the four of us had different entrees and were pleased with the choice. As always the chowder was exemplary and my favorite, the sweet potato side dish, was great.
Our server, Kelsey, deserves special kudos for her warm personality and efficiency.
Recommend a reservation during season. Staff was great and very helpful. Full bar selection for dinner drinks. Seafood was very good and service was good. Menu was a little smaller than I had expected but what it has was very well prepared. This is a nice place to enjoy a meal in a small or large group. They do have outdoor dining available near the bar.
Wow, I’ve lived in Fort Myers 25 years and always knew of this place but never went! Boy, I’ve been missing out for sure! The seafood is incredible here, in fact everything is! Even the salad with homemade blue cheese was delicious and fresh. I had the Sea Bass entree which was hands down the best sea bass I’ve ever had. Definitely get the stuffed mushrooms appetizer also. My server, Andrea, was such a treat! Friendly, funny, and very attentive. I’ll be back way often for sure!
I wish I could give this establishment more than 5 stars!! I came down to Cape Coral to see my dad after my mom passed and we came here to have dinner - this was one of my mom's favorite places. I had the calamari, the clams casino, stuffed mushrooms and the chowder for dinner. My dad had the fish and pawnbroker shrimp and he said it was amazing. Get there early for the happy hour specials and sit on the left side of the restaurant where the bar is. We were waited on the nicest and friendliest staff you could ask for - super attentive and this may seem weird, but they have BEST unsweet iced tea i've ever tasted in my 50 years of drinking iced tea! And because we ate on the bar side during happy hour, we were able to save a few bucks to pass on to our servers...
Bravo you guys, we'll be back for sure!
Had a great meal and server! Was only his 2nd night there but was awesome. Sorry can't remember your name! We were there late. Everything came out delicious! We had just visited our dad in the hospital so was nice to have a great meal and service. Thanks!
