FARMERS MARKET RESTAURANT – American
Farmers Market Restaurant has cooked Southern food on Edison Avenue in Fort Myers since 1952, long enough to be counted the longest continuously operating restaurant in Lee County. Breakfast runs until 10:30 every morning, and lunch and dinner specials never arrive with just one side, they come with three, following recipes passed down through generations. A dessert case from Tony's Bunch of Deliciousness closes out the meal. The room draws regulars and out-of-town visitors chasing the same reputation: big portions, honest soul food, and prices that haven't chased the neighborhood's newer arrivals. Hours run daily, with Sunday's own brunch menu.
