Sneaky Pete’s

This place is a classic dive bar, beach bum atmosphere, type of place and very Fort Myers Beach, if you know what I mean.
Came here for lunch on a Tuesday with some co-​workers. It’s a short walk across the parking lot and we figured we would give it a shot. The waitress was friendly, tables clean, service fairly quick. Not too busy during lunch, which is what we needed.
We were easily the youngest people in the restaurant, which is typical during season. Food was okay, but when I read the reviews I thought it was a safe bet to stick with something safe: a cheeseburger it is.
The burger was not bad, fries were good.
Verdict: Would I be back on my own accord? Probably not. If someone wanted to go there, probably.

Sneaky Pete’s sure has a lot of varying reviews. Thank goodness we didn’t just read one or two.
We like Happy Hours. You can get a variety of food for a lot less money. Besides that, they’re fun. Sneaky Pete’s was our target this time. The restaurant sits in a strip mall. It’s probably one that most folks would just pass by but we didn’t. The restaurant probably needs a little face lift inside and out. Also, plastic on wall by booth tables need a good scrubbing.
We were met and seated immediately. Most of the patrons were at the bar with a few scattered around in tables. Not many folks were here when we arrived but they kept coming in and it was starting to fill up as we sat at our booth.
Everything on the «In the beginning» menu is half price at Happy Hour. Chicken wings and drinks are discounted too. So, we ordered Chicken wings, fried mozzarella, fried mac’n cheese and their beach bread. The food was excellent and so was the service.

Visiting from out of town, we werent quite sure what to expect even with Unilocaling the place. My instincts told me it was a mistake upon entering and like usual, they were right. Previous reviews are right on: this place is fine if you are 60 or older but any younger forget it. Horrible menu and horrible service. They were shortstaffed and unfortunately we suffered for it. Waitress was unattentive and rude. Had she not come back within 5 min I would have been out the door. When finally she came for our orders we asked what was good she said ‘I really don’t have time to tell you’. We were with my parents (yep they are over 60 yrs) and were pretty adamant about eating here. Just overall terrible.

Went here with a large group, mostly so a friend’s daughter could sing. The food was mediocre and the staff was inattentive. We ordered a pitcher of sangria and were told to pour it ourselves so he (the server) didn’t make a mess. We attempted to get the check numerous times to no avail. It was a random Monday night filled with locals and it was obvious that is who is catered to here. The MC knew the names of the people that got up multiple times to sing. The cheeseburger was juicy but generic and the fries were browned and not in a good seasoned way. Not a place I’d go back.

We hit this spot a few times while on vacation. We vaca here three times a year. Wait staff always friendly. Pretty dive like but comfortable at the same time. You can’t forget your by the ocean at this place. Murals on the wall won’t let you. Happy hour is our favorite. Half price apps and the list is great. Alcohol has good prices too. They have a nice choice on the menu. I’ve never had anything I didn’t like. We’ve brought kids early. They like it. Never had them after 8 here though. More of a bar after that. Sometimes there is live music. Ck pics for happy hour info.

Walked in, had to leave. Their menu seems so-​so, for a bar. Their beer selection is horrible. You won’t want to go there unless you are 65 or older. It may be a decent place for that type of crowd, but not something I’m into. Wish them the best.

This was our first visit pretty much because it was the only place still open serving food after 10pm on a Monday night. We never came here simply because of the name «Sneaky Pete’s». I have to say though it was ok. I imagined it to be a dark shady dive bar but it was quite colorful inside and the food was ok. My wife got a chili dog — ok. I got a turkey Reuben and it was good not great. Our friend had the fish and chips. Again all good to ok. Our waiter though was very good. Overall atmosphere was just weird. Definitely a mixed crowd from 21 years old to 90 years old and it was crowded. They have 2 pool tables also. I would go back in a pinch but wouldn’t go out of my way.

This place was the most gross place I have been in. It’s worse than my kids room. The chicken was so nasty. That’s why I gave it NO stars

Super fun decoration, good vibes and good times. Karaōke here is absolutely a blast.

Semi dive bar with bands on the weekend. If you are here you have to try the «Sneaky Pete». Check the band schedule for Backlash. Above average bar food. Not sure I’m brave enough to order a whole meal. Dining isn’t the draw here.

Decided to go there for birthday dinner with family; was very disappointed. Fish special was so dry and bland, rice was obviously made hours earlier, and the flies inside the restaurant were driving us crazy! A sad choice for such a celebration. Dairy Queen on the way home saved the day!

My wife and I are in town for our honeymoon. We had family recommend Sneaky Pete’s so we decided to give it a try.
We walked in right around noon on a Friday. Expecting some type of lunch crowd in this bar atmosphere. With signs out front advertising all the bands they host and it being right at the end of a large plaza. But the closed down bingo place next door should have been a sign and explains why a lot of reviewers state the crowd is older. Needless to say we only saw 5 other people in the place the entire time we were there.
The menu was rather average and had a good selection. But my dad said the burgers were good so I figure I could give them a shot. $ 8.95 for a half pound burger and all the extras were of no additional charge. So I added cheddar cheese and bacon. It was cooked perfectly to order and was well seasoned. I would say one of the better burgers I have recently. Very good.
My wife had a club sandwich, turkey and ham, cheddar and Swiss, bacon lettuce and tomato. She had a hard time taking a bit because the sandwich was so thick.
We were out the door for under $ 20 for both of us. I would recommend this for a great lunch stop for a good price.

This place is… different. We were on our honeymoon and looking for a fun place to eat. The food was ok, nothing great, but not horrible. But the atmosphere was a bit intimidating. It is definitely a local hangout, not for tourists. We didn’t fit in very well, but it was still fun to people watch!

we arrived at sneaky petes for happy hour. we only had soft drinks but did take advantage of the ½ priced «in the beginnings» the onion rings were good and so were the mushrooms. my friend ordered chile which tasted like it had been just made and wasnt done cooking, we were there at 3pm. i ordered the deep fried chicken livers which were good but needed a dipping sauce, the baked potato was as expected. we didn’t care for the coleslaw, it was dry and not sweet enough, it might have just been made also, it looked like the chef was pretty busy getting his specials done by 5pm. they were posted on the black board outside $ 9.99 if i remember correctly. the place was clean, the waitresses were attentive. id go back and try the steak sandwich next time.

Nice people, nice waitress, but awful food, «sneaky» fish is actually swai, which is a cheap Japanese catfish. Really? Right off the Gulf of Mexico you decide your going to sell cheap Japanese catfish? I guess sneaky Pete really is sneaky. Awful shrimp linguini. And the grilled chicken was a hockey puck.

Not a bad place. The drinks are kinda pricey, but made strong. The band draws an older crowd… But the sneaky Pete mixed drink was amazing. And very strong. Dang you sneaky Pete!

Not a bad place to stop in for a snack or a drink. I prefer the drinks to the food though. The crowd is older — much older — but they have decent bands every now and then. For Bonita Springs, this is a «pretty happening» kind of place. Expect to see lots of couples dancing when the band is good!

It’s true — I hear from my Dad who lives here part of the year — that Sneaky Pete’s is big with the locals.
And the locals are gonna be averaging about, uh, seventy. But that doesn’t stop me from liking Sneaky Pete’s. I visited here with some friends my age — at first we were terrified. What is going on here? Older women, younger men, younger men, older women, older men and women, we could not even begin to sort out the scene.
what it comes down to for me: it’s a quirky place, the music is good, the sports are playing on TV, the food is terrible, the drinks aren’t great, the scene and crowd are funny … and I’m usually the youngest person here by a number of decades.
But I like it, and I’ve gone back twice, the most recent time meeting Pete himself, who is an earnest dude. I respect Kymm’s review, but wanted to present the more charming side of this strip-​mall, iconic of South Florida bar.
