Buckingham Farms - Fort Myers (FL)

5 /5 MLAB 317: First time at this lovely welcoming and clean location. My hubby and I wanted to stay away from the kitchen and decided to look for a new location for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised. Staff welcoming but the service style is self service. ...very important to note because as you approach you will think its the typical sit-down with wait staff taking your order... its not. Self serve with coffee water and soft drinks. Grab a menu oder upon arrival and buzzer alert when food is ready. This worked because we sat quickly and got out quickly in time for my hubby to start some scheduled work calls. We both ordered the Farmhouse Benedict and it was perfectly done ✔️. The gift shop offers some fresh and local items. Its nicely stocked. A bit up in price for self service. I wish the coffee was more gourmet but I think it was an overall great start to my day. If you stay off the highway to get to the location its a pleasant drive.

5 /5 Raul R.: My wife and I drove up from Naples for breakfast. We were greeted warmly and explained the ordering process. The food had good taste and reasonably priced. The country store offers a wide variety of food from sauces, jams, jellies as well as coffee. There is an open air barn available to rent for weddings etc. Very nice store and operating farm.

3 /5 Jacob Barnes: Driving in, this place looks very nice and well done. The big tortoise is a super cool feature. The gardens are scenic and the building setup is nice. Now for the cons... for a "farm to table" place it was incredibly disappointing that the supposedly fresh made pies had ingredients like Cool Whip. The snacks located around the building were mostly garbage ingredients and highly processed - only a few were local. Bagged chips with the burger? It didnt feel like the emphasis was on healthy or local like the marketing suggests. The bathrooms, while nice, reeked of artificial scents. As people who love farm to table restaurants we were very disappointed. If you just want an average lunch at a cool place though you will likely be more impressed.

5 /5 Marcus Hammer: This was a really nice place! The food was excellent, and it was great to meet the 27-year-old turtle. We highly recommend this spot if you’re in the neighborhood!

5 /5 Isabella Torres: Food was soo yummy! We got the bf signature quesadilla, asian style salad, and brisket burger and it was all so good. All the food, especially greens, tasted fresh and the flavors were on point. Atmosphere of the restaurant + farm was really nice, I recommend visiting booger the tortoise!
