We have been supporting this business from day one. Lunch and family ice cream time. Tonight I order something I don't usually order. When the brownie sundae came out, I said oh no I didn't realize it came with nuts on the whip cream. Asked the server if it'd be possible to maybe get a little dollop of whip cream on side. You'd think I asked her to make the whole thing over because she said "well I don't know I can go ask." I said great thanks. Owner comes over and asks what the problem is. I said I just didn't realize it came with the nuts. No big deal. Could I get a little side of whip cream? In literally the most condescending tone she says "did you not read the sign?" As she looks up at the menu board. I said sorry apparently I missed it. She says this time she can but I have to tell them next time no nuts or she'll have to charge me for the extra whip cream. We will NEVER step for in this business ever again! We won't bring our out of state family and friends anymore either. I can't believe it was made into such a big ordeal over what amounts to a squeeze out of a pressurized can of whip cream! I hope that 40-50 cents was worth losing lifetime patrons because that's exactly...
Read moreDo not go here unless you have money to burn, time to waste and like burnt deep fried cheese and old leathery bread. Call in advance for any take out or be willing to wait until their regulars are served first.
In response to the owner.... Yes I understand a wait after a large order but did any of your "hard working" staff inform me of a 30 minute wait for 1 patty melt? No. Did the 2 regulars that ordered after me, dining in, wait 30 minutes? No. Was there any apology or discount offered? No. As for the bread....you shouldnt have to cut through it with a steak knife, whether thats a preperation fault or bakery fault is not for me to decide. Sorry I am not able to justify $13.50 for a patty melt and fries that...
Read moreMy husband and I visited Zoet's Diner for the first time today. He had a burger and said it was excellent. I had the best fish & chips I've had in SW Florida and maybe even in New England with the possible exception of Eagle's Nest in Bangor, Maine. Zoet's uses a fresh 7-ounce cod filet, slices it down the middle and then across to make big chunks of fish. The breading and the (undoubtedly) store-made tartar sauce are delicious. There is no taste of oil in the fish or in the crispy steak fries. Delicious! Service is friendly, prompt, easy-going. Zoet's is located on Route 17, Punta Gorda, in the Winn-Dixie Plaza. Give it a try! Oh, the Turkey/BLT and the Reuben look great, too. We'll go back...
