Teri's Diner — Restaurant in Bonita Springs

Today was disappointing. I am a regular customer of Teri's Diner, I have visited for years, but so far this year I have been dining there 3-5 days per week. And by regular customer I mean the staff knows what I want to eat and drink when I sit down at the bar. I eat there because they are reasonably priced and even when there is a line outside and the place is packed, if I find an open seat at the bar I can order my food, eat it and be out the door in 15-20m. I typically tip 25% and tell the ~15,000 travelers to SWFL I come in contact with a year that they should give Teri's a try. Today, it was not busy at Teri's. I walked in and sat at the bar. There was an employee sitting next to me, on break or waiting to start their day, not actively working and there was one other gentleman at the bar. I sat there for about 10m. At one point 5 employees were standing on the other side of the bar from me. No one said a word to me or even acknowledged my presence. So I got up and left having never been spoken to or addressed by staff. I had to get to work. Should be a great 10hrs on an empty stomach. Everyone can have off days but this experience was...

Went here for lunch, and it's safe to say I will be taking my business elsewhere. The workers genuinely seemed to not want us there. We wanted to get food for a man who appeared to be in some sort of bad financial situation as sitting outside, and they after that seemed so rude for no reason whatsoever, when we weren't even asking for free food or anything we simply wanted to purchase food for someone else; they purposefully excluded the man by instead of giving him the usual cups they gave him one of the Styrofoam cups. There is no supervisor to even talk to about the terrible service we experienced. When I asked to speak to some sort of manager or supervisor, I was ignored, and they took an obnoxiously long time in picking up payment. Two of the employees were giving each other looks in a mocking way towards us. Overall, this was a terrible experience, and I will likely not be coming back. To the employees, do better or honestly just quit no one needs that...

My husband and I are on vacation this week in Naples and stopped into Teri’s after a day trip back from Sarasota, passing through Bonita Springs for something to eat. The diner is a quiet unassuming place…. None of the commercial bells and whistles… just good food. We noticed the daily specials on the door as we walked up and decided to try the baby back ribs that were being offered that day. The server was sweet and accommodating and out came our meal. We’ve tried ribs at other places in the area and they simply don’t compare to Teri’s. They were fall-off-the bone good!!! The onion rings and coleslaw were delicious as well. If you appreciate good home cooking, reasonable prices and want to support a local business, then Teri’s is the place for you. We intend to go there again before going home....
