The Pork Tenderloin Sandwich Is Spectacular!If you enjoy or crave a great pork tenderloin sandwich, Steve's needs to be your go to place. We visited back in July and had to stop in again for lunch earlier this week. It's a small place at the end of a strip mall with plenty of parking. Inside is just like most strip mall diners, nothing real noteworthy. The servers here are great, especially Georgie! A tiny lady who's as friendly as can be, that can steer you to whatever you have a taste for. She hooked us on the tenderloin sandwich in July and had no trouble convincing me to try the soup on this visit. My wife ordered the Hoosier which is the pork tenderloin sandwich with a side of fruit (12.99). I had a cup of the Chicken Tortellini Soup (maybe 4.00) and a Side Salad with Italian dressing (4.99). The Hoosier is deep fried with a lightly seasoned breading, served on a toasted bun, with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and mayo if requested. A little crunchy on the outside, moist and tender inside. The pic's say it all! The fruit was fresh, cold and delicious. My soup had a very rich flavor, thick with chicken in a thicker tomato broth with a few tortellini. The side salad had all the usual components, fresh and crisp and a good tasting Italian dressing. The combo was a perfect lunch. They also have tap and bottled beer and wine at very fair prices. Don't pass this place up!Great, Once Again! 11-29-23We stopped in for lunch and Steve's hit the mark again. My wife had the Hoosier Sandwich (13.99) again. A monstrously huge savory, juicy breaded pork tenderloin sandwich with a fresh fruit cup side. I had the Steve Junior Salad (10.99). Crispy lettuce topped with an abundance of ham, turkey, hard boiled egg, mozzarella cheese, red onion and croutons. I selected the Italian Dressing which was a little creamy, very flavorful and not as vinegary as Italian dressings typically are. We should have split either the sandwich or the salad as there is plenty there for two. Great job Steve's!Just had to go again!This time for breakfast. My wife ordered the Spinach Mushroom Swiss Bacon Omelette With Home Fries and I ordered a Full Order of Biscuits and Gravy with Home Fries. The omelette was LOADED with all the goodies. The B's and G's come with two biscuits, fluffy, not stuffy and a tasty sausage loaded gravy seasoned just right with black pepper. These home fries are the bomb. Probably did a little time on the flat top, then deep fried. Crunchy outside, soft inside. You rock, Steve's!

Steve’s Place has a unique charm that makes it a delightful spot for a casual meal. The restaurant’s atmosphere is friendly and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dining experience.The food portions are generous, and the meals are hearty. We tried the country fried steak with gravy, which was delicious and filling. The mashed potatoes and fries were both well-prepared, providing a comforting side to the main dishes. The green beans had a good seasoning that we both enjoyed, adding a bit of freshness to the meal. The coleslaw was crisp and flavorful, complementing the other items well.A special mention goes to the waitress, Georgie, who has a unique personality that adds a distinct character to the place.Overall, Steve’s Place offers good food, sizable portions, and a casual, friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Amazing fluffy omelettes, Georgie our server was spectacular, kind, attentive… Prices were great . We would so drive the 30 minutes to dine there again for the best omelette I have ever eaten.

Great classic, comfort food. I had the Reuben and it was perfect - Thinly sliced corned beef no weird fat pieces with thousand island in the side! My mom got the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Figured she would’ve got 2 more meals out of it, but it was so good she ate all of it!!!And last but not least, the caramel nut crunch pie!!! Omg! Save room, it’s amazing and enough for 3!!!Atmosphere was great, lots of regulars which you know is a good sign and the servers were great: friendly, quick and attentive.

Pride in food & service shows.Most of the menu is made in house & the seafood is local.Portions are huge.Grouper salads & pork tenderloin were excellent!Sweet & Plain Iced Tea available. It was good & a nice southern touch—the waitress offered a cup of tea to go at the end of the meal!Reminiscent of your favorite diner.

First: I love the waitstaff! Fast, efficient, and friendly.Second: Food portions are ridiculously huge!Third: Fresh! Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection!I had shrimp and grits the shrimp were huge, and grits were cooked great Warning: Lots of garlic! Lots! You better love garlic and your family and friends better love you (even with garlic breath)My daughter had fish and chips. Fish was excellent ( I think it's the best dish ) So fresh! And came with waffle fries, just made.Her friend had a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and sweetpotato fries that were quite tasty (Lots of mayo in the salad)Oh yeah Get the onion rings!!!!Fresh, good, decent coffee ( I am very demanding when it comes to )Atmosphere:For me, it was a throwback to NYC type diner. Narrow,crowded, busy, clean, and it works!Home-style fare.Locals might feel the sticker shock at first,but when you see the portions and taste the freshness and care that goes into each dish, you realize, in 2025,it really is a good bargain. I do recommend going to Steve's Place in North Fort Myers, Florida!Whether you're from this area, like I am, a tourist/snowbird, or just passing through, I think you're gonna like it here
