Skillets Ft. Myers Cypress Trace

We were on our way to our regular breakfast stop, and thought we'd try this, I'm so glad we did. Don't let the abundance of wood paneling and rubberwood scare you. Typically, places that still have decor from the 40's are dirty and run down, this one is not, it's very clean and nothing is rundown. Our breakfast was fantastic, rarely when you ask for a medium poached egg, do you get it done right. Our eggs were perfect and perfectly seasoned. It was absolutely the best breakfast we both have had in years.

The waffle and pancakes were great. The waffle was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just like we like them. The service was quick and friendly. They have nice portion size weekday specials. Next time I'm in the area I'll stop by again for breakfast.

GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS. Whenever I'm in town I go to this Skillets (Cypress Trace). Today, I brought a guest because I knew they had some gluten free options (extreme sensitivities to gluten). Jasmine, our waitress, was amazing and completely tuned in to this special need. She voluntarily explained how cross-contamination is avoided and mentioned their gluten-free pancakes and waffles which was a wonderful surprise (delicious). She's a champion of gluten-free foods and i think Skillets would gain customers if they're known as reliably gluten-free and offered breads, etc.

I highly suggest coming here if you're looking for something quick and tasty. The food came out fast, the service was great, and it was very calming walking in. The food was slightly over seasoned, but I like my food like that anyway, and the corned beef was slightly overcooked, but again I like it like that.

I highly recommend Skillets at Cypress Trace Shopping Center. They’re located at the intersection of Daniels Parkway and US-41 in South Fort Myers, Florida. As a 65 year resident of Fort Myers, I’ve seen a large number of restaurants come and go. In my opinion, the tone and attitude of the most successful of those businesses starts from the top. The management team at Skillets is active in creating a positive experience for both staff and patrons. The staff is friendly, personable and professional. They deliver on attentive service. Our favorite Day Manager/Server is Jasmine. She’s delightful. Austyn and Lily are wonderful servers with a great attitude. Since we go there regularly, they spoil us by remembering our preferred drink and meal orders. Also, another great reason we visit Skillets is the comfortable outdoor seating which allows us to take our little dog along for an outing. Skillets’s current managers make this particular location a must-visit restaurant where you can expect exceptional service and a delightful dining experience. A few of our menu favorites are the Blueberry Pancakes, Tomato Provolone Bacon Panini, Potato Pancakes and the Veggie Goat’s Cheese Omelet… yummy!
