Lee County
Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and the barrier islands of Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach make Lee County a year-round dining destination. With over 2,000 restaurants serving a mix of retirees, winter visitors, and a growing year-round population, the county's food scene has evolved significantly — especially as Southwest Florida continues to rebuild and grow after Hurricane Ian. Seafood remains king, but the county's increasingly diverse population has brought a wider variety of cuisines to the table.
Check Lee County restaurant inspections to find health scores and violation histories for restaurants in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Bonita Springs, Estero, and Sanibel. Every inspection record includes the full list of violations found and the restaurant's overall health grade.

County pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface area-wide patterns and make local browsing easier, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
