Living in Florida, we know we have a ton of choices when it comes to good food. Especially here in Southwest Florida. Think of all of the delicious restaurants on Sanibel and Captiva islands, in Downtown Ft. Myers, on 5th Avenue in Naples or in many of the malls in the area like Gulf Coast Town Center and Bell Tower. Although many of the island restaurants are still recovering from Hurricane Ian, many have reopened. But, have you tried any of these places Guy Fieri went to on his popular Food Network show, Diners Drive-Ins and Dives? If not, you should.
I’m not a big cook, however I’m obsessed with the Food Network and one of my favorite shows is Guy Fieri’s “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.” Not only has it given me some great ideas on places to try, but it’s also fun to see what each place offers. And my list keeps getting longer especially since 67 Florida restaurants have been featured. Guy obviously loves being down here in Florida.
If you want to see a list of ALL the restaurants featured on the show, TVFoodmaps.com has a full list. But, out of the 67 in Florida, not all of them are still open. Let’s take a local angle for those of us in the Fort Myers/Naples area. So, here are 20 ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ restaurants closest to us in SWFL (in order by mileage).
If Guy Fieri loves these places, we’ve got to give them a shot. Here are 20 Florida Diners Drive-Ins and Dives With Guy Fieri.
