Stopped here for lunch with a friend, had Aliyah as our server and it was a wonderful experience. We sat outside it was beautiful out got menus right away and was greeted promptly. Knowledgeable about the menu. I had the BLGT my friend had the chicken and waffles both were to die for so we split both!��� definitely recommend trying this place out!
It was my first visit & I loved it! The staff was friendly, the decor & atmosphere of the place was great!! The food was wonderful, I definitely loved the catfish & sweet potato soufflé!! Would definitely visit again & recommend others to check it out!
I had the best chicken and waffles that I’ve ever had, and their maple syrup was amazing with it. The bottomless mimosas were also a huge selling point.
This place was great! Fun atmosphere in the bar with live music and yummy food! Some things could have been a little better. But for less than $70 (including tip) we got two entrees, a dessert, and two beers. We had the ribs (which were to DIE FOR) and the chicken and waffles (which were also great), we had the banana pudding (yum!!!). We will definitely be back again!
Great food, fried frog leg is awesome, fried okra is a bit undercooked inside, chicken n waffle is also awesome and delicious. Huge portion too.
The chicken and waffles were great, but I will definitely go back for the shrimp and grits. I give the service 5 stars! Also, ate the deviled eggs. The best part of them were the sriracha, but they were still pretty good.
Been here many times. Flawless execution, beautiful ambience.fried chicken, home made waffles, pimento burger, spare rib appetizer, hot delicious donuts— this place executes southern food like no one else can. A must try.
Enjoyed our dinner @Fancy's ! Food was very good and the service was excellent. My husband got the chicken pot pie and he said it was the best he has ever had dining out. I ordered the fried chicken, and it was very good. Ended up taking food home, could not eat it all. We ordered up the homemade chocolate cake. It was delicious.... I would highly recommend Fancy's to your dining destination list. They had chicken waffles that I saw on other customers plates. Never had one, but they were huge. Something I will have to check out on our next visit....
Absolutely wonderful! Went with a group of 6 and each of us ordered something different. Everything we ordered was amazing!
Chicken and Waffles: delicious with an amazing presentation
Grilled Cheese: yummy with the bacon (tomato soup was on point)
Chicken Pot Pie: HUGE!!! flaky and creamy
Tenderloin: again, HUGE with a creamy cheesy sauce
We also had the liver and onions, and the cheeseburger. Service was fair, but could have been a bit faster. I did notice that the cooks were walking right through the middle of the restaurant (which just seemed a bit odd because of their appearance vs the restaurant's nice ambiance.) Speaking of, it has a wonderful atmosphere. It is decorated with a lot of class and originality, very neat!
We also tried the key lime pie which was very good. The key lime flavor was very prominent. Extremely pleased and highly recommended!
We stumbled upon Fancy’s Southern Cafe on a recent Road Trip through Ft. Myers, Florida. We had luck on our side for dinner and felt we found a true ‘gem’. The theme is ‘Southern’ and once you step inside, you find a really cool, funky vibe that rivals any South Florida spot. Fancy’s Southern cafe’s décor is unique and interesting, yet manages to feel very comfortable.

The food here is amazing! The best chicken and waffles in SWFL hands down. Their donuts are delightful (only served on weekends). No matter if you are coming to enjoy breakfast or dinner, you will be happy that you came. This is food so good that it'll make you want to smack your momma. The only downfalls are wait times (make a reservation) and it can be crowded. If you're ever nearby, this is a place that you should try.
1st off, did not expect how cool and big it is from outside. Very eclectic decor. Clean and comfortable. Our server Olivia was friendly and attentive. The food was easily 5 stars except for the Mac and cheese which was a terrible disappointment (and yes, I am southern). The country fried steak and meatloaf were on point!
What a great surprise! We've been to a few places when traveling through Ft Myers, I don't know how we missed this place. Brunch was amazing, thick cut southern bacon, fluffy waffles, and soft pancakes with a little crisp to it. We enjoyed every bite! You know it's good when you're done eating and still thinking about the food!
Stopped in for Sunday brunch around 11am. They were on a 20min wait though the restaurant itself wasnt full. I believe they were short staffed as the hostess would disappear for about 5-10min at a time. After being seated service was good and prompt. Their blood Mary’s were delicious! We enjoyed the deviled eggs for an appetizer. Highly recommend. I ordered the crab cake Benny and my significant other enjoyed the chicken and waffles. Tasty and fresh! We will definitely come back in the future.
This was my first time here and I will definitely be back! The atmosphere is really beautiful! I love all the decor! It was Friday night, so there was live music. Sergio has an amazing voice! Our server Amy was awesome as well which really made my night! The food was presented really nicely, came out super hot and was tasty! The portions are not skimpy at all and I feel like the prices are on point for what you are getting. Can’t wait to try their Saturday and Sunday brunch!
