Lazy Flamingo - Fort Myers (FL)

4 /5 Richard Coradi: We stopped here for an early dinner. The staff seated us promptly and got our drink order going. The place has a nice Florida vibe atmosphere. I had some wings (hot) which were pretty good. I wasn’t a fan of the blue cheese dressing. My wife had the Haddock fish dinner which she said the fish was very good. I took a pic of her food, but it was too blurry to post. We dined here on 11/22/25.

5 /5 Heino Puidak: Call It A Dive, I Call It Great! We have passed this place many, many times driving down McGregor and finally we stopped and are we glad we did. It’s such a cool place. A beachy, nautical, fish camp vibe with some seating inside, more seating outside under hard roof and screened in. We were there for a late lunch and actually surprised to see so many diners. The bartender did double duty as a server and was very knowledgeable about the beers on tap. He steered me to the Lazy Red Fish ($5.00) on tap, which was tasty, similar to Yeungling. My wife went with her usual fountain Diet Coke ($3.00). We started with a Calamari appetizer ($10.99). Excellent! A very light coating, flash deep fried, mostly rings with a few tentacles for fun. An excellent calamari flavor not overpowered with the breading. It is served with a side of homemade tomato sauce. Not a cocktail sauce, not a salsa, not marinara. Still warm from the stove pot, a bit chunky with large pieces of onion. A nice change from cocktail sauce. My wife had the Clam Chowder ($6.99). Served in a fun shell like bowl was this thick, creamy, clammy chowder with just the right amount of potatos. She loved it. I had the Garlic Mussels ($16.99). I’m sure this was at least a pound of mussels, steamed with an abundance of chopped garlic, wine and butter, topped with grated parmesan cheese. Joining the mussels was a great homemade garlic bread. Totally excellent! They also have a Happy Hour with good deals on food and drink. Regulars told us it gets busy for Happy Hours. I think we’re going to become regulars. Don’t pass this place.

5 /5 Joe Peters: If youre a wing lover in the Fort Myers area, Lazy Flamingo is a must-visit. I’ve tried wings from just about every local spot, and this place absolutely stands out. Most restaurants give you 8 wings for $15.99, but Lazy Flamingo serves up 12, and theyre not just more—theyre better. Perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior, juicy inside, and full of flavor. You can tell they care about quality. We also ordered a regular side of fries for just $3.99, and the portion was more than generous. Crispy, hot, and fresh—everything you want from a side of fries. My wife ordered the chicken tender sandwich, and she was just as impressed. It was well-seasoned, cooked perfectly, and came out hot and fresh. Our server, Bobby, made the experience even better. From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu. He took the time to go over all the daily specials, which you don’t always get. He also recommended the Dead Parrot sauce for the wings if we wanted something extra spicy—and he wasn’t wrong. It’s a step above your standard “hot” sauce in both heat and flavor, and it definitely delivered a satisfying kick without sacrificing taste. Between the portions, fair prices, flavorful food, and top-notch service, this place checks all the boxes. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Lazy Flamingo should be on your list. We’ll definitely be coming back for more.

5 /5 C K: Cool place. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and it was excellent. Interesting sauce came on it that I enjoyed. The fries were excellent, seasoned and crispy! Good Bloody Mary too! Sat in the back with open air!

4 /5 Sandra Weightman: My mother, aunt and I ate at the Lazy Flamingo in Fort Myers, FL and it was a very good experience. One had the baby back ribs, another had fried fish, and I had the fried oysters, all of it was very good. The oysters were probably the best I’ve ever had: fried perfectly and absolutely delicious. We did have a small mix-up with my order. I had originally ordered fried shrimp because I was worried the oysters might be milky, but I ended up getting fried oysters by mistake. It turned out to be a wonderful surprise because the oysters were incredible. When I mentioned it to the waitress, she said she was 100% certain I ordered oysters and she had taken my order correctly. I just wanted to let her know how amazing the oysters were after all. I wasn’t looking for reimbursement or a fix. She could have handled the situation better. The restaurant is very clean, and the decor is lovely. I was born and raised in Fort Myers and had never eaten here before, but I will definitely be back!
