    We've been there a handful of times in the last couple of weeks. Servers like Destiny, Nicole and Kimberly make your experience so much better. And Emily and Chris are great behind the bar. American fare and a new drink menu are available for you to enjoy. Stop in for a bite and some drinks. And don't forget to ask about the dessert menu!

    I enjoyed the food tonight and our server, funny guy! Sat outside, finally got a comfortable temp to enjoy dining outside. Portion sizes very generous, nice selection, fried fish, pork tenderloin, fried shrimp, french dip, spiral potatoes and the deep fried mushrooms. YUMMY! Those mushrooms were the size of my fist and the dipping sauce was great too! I'll be back, plenty of items on the menu I'd like to try!!!

    Great place! Good wings and fried mushrooms! I have it on good authority that the boom boom shrimp and fish sticks are a must have. Service was friendly. This place will not be Woke!

    One of our most favorite local eaterys! Great place for easy take out, or a nice spot to relax and have a beer or two while enjoying some fried mushrooms and the game. The French dip is my go-to meal- I have consistently gotten the same sandwich for around 10 visits and I don't plan on changing the order any time soon 😉 I will say however there is not anything on the menu that I haven't liked so far!

    My wife and I moved here in September, we try a new place each week. Was disappointed in the food. I ordered the clam chowder which was the only time I had a disappointment with chowder down here, it was bland and lukewarm. I ordered the fried shrimp dinner, the shrimp itself was fresh, the breading unfortunately was dripping grease. The cold slaw that accompanied it was absolutely horrible, tasted spoiled. My wife had the pressure fried chicken which she did enjoy. But my biggest complaint was our waitress was not in the customers service frame if mind. It was the obligatory phrases without and friendliness at all. There are so many places in our area, and I'll keep sampling.

    Lived around the corner from this place for a few years in the last year or so this has been the go to spot for a quick ish dinner with drinks. Decent service / good prices / awsome cocktails/ killer food !! I recommend the feta bacon Flatbread thing 😋

    Love First round draft. It's a type of a bar that you can go into and by time you leave you've become friends with those that are there. It is very friendly and a very comfortable place for myself to go since I am single. Their food is very good and well within my budget. I would definitely recommend this bar since it's a type of bar where you can watch whatever football game or baseball game or sport you want to watch. There is also seating outside and a bar outside so you can have the best of two worlds.

    Got the fettuccine Alfredo and chocolate cake for dessert. The staff was very friendly when I picked up the to go order. The food tasted great and was still hot. Only complaint is they put whipped cream on the cake when I asked to hold that. But other then that. Great food. Will be back

    Very disappointed with our meal. Service was good, but when your food comes out and it's cold when it should be hot. Also chicken wings were way over cooked and dried out. Those did get replaced with fresh. Rice on my dish was old. And my burrito was cold. All in all we won't be returning to this place.

    First time in, not the best place for food. Just a drink and watch the game type of place which makes sense. Server was nice.

  • 5/5 Christian G. 9 months ago on Google
    A great place to stop by and sit outside at the canal. Very good burgers and a nice atmosphere. You can also watch the iguanas play. 😊

  • 5/5 Rich H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is great place. It has an extensive menu and the food is great. The service has been great each time we have gone there. If you are lucky enough to get outside seating, it's even better with a nice view of the canal as well as a dock if you come by boat.

    I have enjoyed everything I’ve eaten there. It’s changed big time with the new owner. Chris is usually walking around and is a very nice person to talk to. I love they support the veterans, they even had a poker run there and even with the rush of people, food came out fast and my drink never got empty :)

    pig burger excellent choice and sangria in addition to the excellent treatment I love this place I spent a nice Sunday in Cape Coral I love this city for this type of restaurant on the lake of canals

  • 5/5 Russ M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic local place. Good vibes, great staff, yummy food and refreshing cocktails. Large easy dock to tie to. Will return on our next trip.

    Well.....we wanted to try the place out.... It's a sports bar atmosphere.... Went around 6p for dinner. Plenty of parking. Not very busy The outdoor seating proved to be very loud when it comes to traffic and street racing. The dirty plate and silverware was a bit of a bad sign ..... Ordered the chicken Parm and Philly cheese with motz sticks... The entire meal was ok at best. The chicken was ok. The sauce was ok. A little bland. Motz sticks were ok.

    This is a great place. It feels like an oasis on a hot summer day. The staff were great. I had fried fish which was okay. My friend had fried shrimp just fair. In my opinion the oil that food was fried in might have been old.

  • 3/5 d m. 1 year ago on Google
    Normally we tip very well. My spouse for whatever reason tipped 8.00 on $74.00 bill. I had an extra $1.00 on me. I gave it to the new waitress. She had the nerve to tell me, " It's normally 20% percent". SShe didn't even bring our food it was the manager. Seriously? I think it's time to find a new place to go. Brenda, Adam are awesome.

    Make sure you ask the owner Kelly about their wonderful meatloaf. It contains chihuahua (and not the cheese)! At least that’s what she likes tell her regulars when they order. Me personally I prefer Great Dane; you get more for the money.

    Great place to watch the games!!! Staff is so friendly and food tastes home cooked. They have cute speakers for the table so you can actually hear the game.

  • 5/5 Shawn T. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and the food. We sat outside on the patio/bar and had a very nice view of the canal. Del Prado is right there so there is a bit of traffic sound behind you but it was fine. Service was top notch and our waitress recommended the beer batter deep fried mushrooms as a starter. She explained that they were fresh and hand dipped. She wasn't wrong as they were huge and tasted amazing. My wife had the Rueben Sandwich with waffle fries and I had the Italian sandwich with waffle fries and both were awesome and very good size portions as my wife couldn't finish all of hers. We also got slices of Red Velvet and Chocolate cake to go. We ate those for desert later that night and they too were very good. If you are in the area, give this local business a chance and stop in. We will definitely be back.

    If you’re going for the food, go elsewhere. Our onion rings were dripping with oil and tasted like the oil in the fryer hasn’t been changed in months. Same with the chips that were served with the sandwich. Our “blackened” Mahi sandwich had absolutely no seasoning or any flavor for that matter. Very bland. Almost as if the fish was not fresh. The only thing positive was it was not very expensive, but that doesn’t help when the food is this bad.

    Friendly service, good food, priced reasonable. Fish dinner and pressure fried chicken were a hit! we'll be back....

  • 5/5 William S. 2 years ago on Google
    First Round Draft has a very good menu, and great portions. It is a favorite of our men's group. Kim is our favorite waitress.

  • 5/5 Jo Anne T. 2 years ago on Google
    Would highly recommend this restaurant… We were there on a Sunday evening at 7 PM and it was very busy… Good sign. Service was top-notch, food was excellent would highly recommend! The chicken tenders are the best I’ve ever had!!

  • 5/5 Christine F. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a great time at First Round Draft! Food is delicious! Bartenders, servers and the staff are amazing! So friendly and fun!! Will be back soon thanks again for a good time!

  • 5/5 Christopher T. 2 years ago on Google
    Consistently good food and service at reasonable prices. I've had the ahi tuna wrap (delicious but watch the wasabi level!), the Caesar salad with blackened shrimp, and one of their daily specials. All were full of fresh ingredients, well prepared, and quickly served yet not compromised in any way due to that. Service is attentive. Prices are normal for what you are ordering. There's a good-sized U shaped bar, tables, and booths inside. Yes it's got a lot of TV's all tuned to sports but the volumes are off so you can still enjoy a good meal quietly (except on NFL Sundays). There's outside seating at tables and another smaller bar, too, all overlooking a canal. Highly recommended. Try them soon!

    Absolutely outstanding! Lived here 6 yrs, and never been.... definitely regret that. We will be back often!

  • 1/5 Just M. 2 years ago on Google
    If I could do zero stars I would. We walked in today 1/3/22 at 6 pm for wings and a beer. Final meal with parents before heading home. We were greeted by a women with brown hair, glasses & vibrant green nails. She was nice. Told us to sit where we wanted. We apparently sat in the wrong section. The server (short blonde hair) ignored us. She wiped a table, talked to her 2 of the 4 tables she had and stood around chatting. 4 tables walked in after us and sat in the section with the server with glasses/brown hair. She had 9 tables. The blonde looked at us multiple times and just acted like we were not there. So after waiting 15 mins we got up and left. Blonde just looked at us. I was a server for many years, all she had to do was acknowledge us and say I will be right there and actually serve. I won’t be back. Parents who live in town wont be back. The brown hair lady with glasses should get a raise. She was rocking it out of the park.
