When I first moved to Estero in 2002, there wasn't a restaurant to speak of.  In fact, there was only farm land it seemed like, boy oh boy, have things changed.  For starters, we have fast food like Mcdonalds , Arby's, Wendy's (my favorite), Burger King and Subway.  If you love pizza, how about the tasty California Pizza Kitchen or Arizona Pizza? If casual dinning is the mood your looking for Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday, and TGI Fridays is just the start.  For sports fans that need to see their favorite team, Millers Ale House is another favorite of mine, Beef o Brady's, Rivals Sports Bar, and Boston Beer Garden.  Estero also offers family sit down like Carabbas, PF Changs, Blu Sushi, Hemingways, Ted Montana's, Blue Water Bistro, and the Grill Room.
