KJ’s Fresh Grill

I give 5 stars because I left and was happy and will go back for a second try. The owner went way above and beyond to express his concern for a few hiccups during our time there. I know that things happen in the restaurant business and ultimately, you don’t know what’s always going on beyond the scenes. Though I will tell you one thing, the owner cares about his business and his customers. I can’t wait to go back and try it again. That was my first experience there, there will be a second visit.
The atmosphere was really nice, the hostesses were very attentive and sweet. The chicken was good! And the staff all seemed to help each other out when needed. It was really busy and I think they were a bit understaffed, but it was nice to see everyone working together.

Went here for lunch and almost didn’t go in due to the fact that there was only 1 car in the lot. So glad we did. Food and service were top notch. They have a special everyday for $ 6 you get a burger, fresh cut fries, and a beer. Took a chance and ordered it med. rare and it was delicious and cooked perfectly. Everything is made fresh there. Nice varied menu. Can’t wait to go back and try the fresh shrimp hand breaded with their special coating. Can’t believe the place wasn’t packed. The place is immaculate.

I ordered a 14oz NY strip, medium rare. It came out with 4oz of pure fat and raw. This is a place that prides themselves on being a steak and seafood restaurant. Today must have been a bad day or their advertisement of cutting and trimming their steaks for a perfect steak is just that, crap. The service was okay but I over heard two waitress going off on the customer that ordered too many mixed drinks. I will not be back.

Just had a great experience at this restaurant. What started off a bit shaken was saved by an alert hostess a a most professional and friendly waiter by the name of Dino! The service was great and the food was equal. My husband had the prime rib special which was well seasoned and cooked as ordered. I tried the poke bowl and was very satisfied with the flavor and presentation. I highly recommend saving room for the amazing bread pudding!

Been there now twice, first time for lunch and it was good. .both service and food but tonight on our second visit for dinner, I couldn’t have been more displeased! We didn’t receive bread at our table like all others until I asked, they were out of lobster, my steak was under cooked and extremely tough and we never received our salads at all! If I could have given 0 stars, I would have!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED

The food, décor and service was great. My waitress Yolanda new the menu, and recommended some winners. I had the tuna app, and the deviled eggs, not your grannies deviled eggs. Well priced and steak was fantastic. You can’t go wrong here.

I am surprised by the reviews here. We are new to the area and looked up steak and seafood restaurants online. TripAdvisor came up with this place and has rave reviews. I agree with their ratings. The server, Victoria, is super friendly and attentive (not overly so as one reviewer mentioned here). The owner took the time to stop at the table and we enjoyed the personalization. The gator bites were fabulous… I’ve had them before and these were tender and flavorful (unlike the ones I’ve had elsewhere). Our steak and prime rib were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My only surprise was that the filet was not as thick as I expected… more of a sirloin thickness. But, it tasted it wonderful as did the prime rib. I can’t comment on the seafood, as we didn’t try any. The menu is primarily beef. Yes, the décor is a bit stark for a steakhouse. I mentioned this to the owner who welcomed the feedback. The food prices were about right. The specialty drinks were too high. Nine bucks is steep for a drink. Overall, great experience and we plan to return.

If you don’t know what Millionaire Bacon is your missing out wow! Great atomisphere!

Never again! I was in the mood for a decent steak and decided to try them since they are fairly new. I orders a ribeye that had no flavor and was over cooked as a medium. And was not cheap either. Was not juicy or tasty at all. The place was pretty empty for a Friday night and now I know why.

GREAT PLACE!!! HIDDEN GEM! We were initially concerned with «not so many cars outside» (you know how it is… when a place is good, it’s always packed!”) Well, not many people know of this place… YET! You gotta try it, the food was fresh. «THE» Best Most Tender Gator Bites we’ve EVER had. Very Good! …and a SPECIAL Shout Out to John the «Baaaatender from Baaaaston», he was AMAZINGLY Nice and eager to please. YES… come and give it try!

Went there once with my husband. Never felt the need to go back again. I had the gumbo which was pale, thin and lacked flavor and substance. There was hardly anything in it. The calamari would have been pretty good except it was made soggy with all the sauce it was coated in. Overpriced for the portions. The waitress was nice but didn’t know when to stop talking and let us enjoy each others company. Just a little over zealous to be helpful I guess, as they were newly open and she was eager to please. The décor doesn’t have anything remarkable about it. We were really surprised that there is no Salmon on the menu which for a seafood restaurant makes absolutely no sense. There was no coherency to the menu at all. The manager came over to say hello do I have to give a thumbs up to the friendliness of the place. Too bad, we live less than a mile from KJ’S and hoped it would have been a nice place to go.

Excellent food!!! The best gator bites I have ever had. Great filet too. Dino was a great server.

This restaurant was pretty good. I’m surprised by their other reviews. Their happy hour is great! John the bartender provided excellent service! We had the deviled eggs which were delicious and my husband had a steak. I liked the char seasoning on the steak and the twiced baked potatoes were good too. We will be back to try the gator bites!

Horrible food I will go back again if I want a raw steak that lacked seasoning and under cooked stuffed mushroom caps food had to be sent back 3 times bartender could not keep up manager acted like he did not care

We really hoped this would be good because we know the owner somewhat. He owns two franchised restaurants and should stick to that. This was really bad and with the décor and atmosphere, no amount of fixing food problems will help and he is going to lose his shirt. To start, we were greeted promptly, was not busy and all were polite. We ordered two steaks and one scallop meal. No fresh specials available. We found that odd. Did not order any alcohol. The salads and bread were fine and fresh. Server though inexperienced did a good job. My wife ordered sirloin, grossly under seasoned and mealy. I ordered NY Strip mid rare, came out medium well. Sons scallops not broiled properly. The fresh veggies were standard mix but steamed and watery. Baked potato fine, baked sweet potato fine. Basically all food very unseasoned. The atmosphere is really weird. Seventy’s music playing very loudly the entire time. Stark décor screams under funded endeavor. Even if he found a way to serve great food, no prayer with this unthemed décor in this marketplace. Any play he made on theme went out the door when he sports a steer on one side and a fish on the other but no fresh catch. Only fish to be had was Cobia??? Hardly a worthy selection for pricing. This guy is a nice guy but without a quick overhaul of décor, probably about 30K and theme changes, staff dress, it does not stand a chance. Cafeteria atmosphere could quickly turn into a excellent sports bar with excellent steaks unknowing to unexpecting guest. I may contact him and share my experience as a past professional restaurateur.

Already been twice to the newly opened KJ’s Fresh Grill in Fort Myers.
From the moment we were greeted at the door to the knowledgeable and pleasant staff we were pleased! The steak and crab cakes were cooked to perfection as was the cobia with the mango salsa. They have a great selection of infused vodkas and craft beer on tap. Leave room for Warren’s Bread Pudding. a must have after a delicious meal.

We have enjoyed both a wonderful dinner and excelle

We went to KJ’S for lunch. We both had burgers and fries and an appetizer of gator bites. The food was absolutely delicious and the beers were ice cold. Our server was great, very helpful and prompt. The price is a little high for a working guy like me, but definitely a place to go.
