Skinny Dogz Brunchery Fort Myers

The restaurant and the Lanai looked clean and tidy. Indoor seating only offers hard chairs and hard bench seats. The outdoor seating overlooks a lovely pond. Unfortunately, again, the seats leave a lot to be desired. Unless your bottom's 12" or less in the sitting position your hips will be painfully wedged between two hard metal bars. I ordered the Firehouse dog Cafe mocha and was asked whether I wanted it hot or cold. I selected cold but I was not told that it was going to cost $1 extra just to throw my coffee over some ice. It was delicious! The Phil E Burrito was huge and more than enough for two people. It's loaded with shaved steak, bacon, green peppers, onions, hash browns, scrambled eggs provolone & American cheeses, and fire mayo. I omitted the mushrooms. The fire mayo was HOT!! The burrito had a great flavor but was extremely greasy. I had to wrap it in napkins and the grease soaked through them. There was a pool of grease left on the plate. You are offered gravy for an additional charge of $2.00. The Honey Hot Chicken Biscuit had a nice hot/sweet flavor -a great combination. The chicken was crispy and the biscuit homemade & delicious. An egg was offered as an addition to the biscuit and is listed on the bill as an additional $1.50. The menu is inventive and enticing. Flavors were great. Service was just a bit above average. All the servers were friendly. We probably will go back but will have to sacrifice the al fresco dining experience because of the horrible outdoor seats. My only other complaints are the square handled knives which are so popular with lower class restaurants. Those pointy tips dig into one's hand when using that utensil. The napkins are about the cheapest grade available and you will go through a dozen of them especially when your food is messy or greasy.

Great outdoor patio and very dog friendly ! The Benedict options are quite unique and very large portions. We enjoyed the chicken and waffles and eggs benedict. They do not make poached eggs but the over easy option was fine.
