Dean's South of the Border

Our visit this round to Dean's was definitely a better experience. Our server Brooke was awesome. She made sure we were taken care of. The food was good. The BBQ pulled chicken sandwich was probably the best thing that I've eaten there. We also had the chance to meet Hope, the lead singer of The Outsiderz. Very cool to chat with. I usually have no complaints about Dean's. The place was packed last Wednesday which led to service being slow. Not enough servers on the floor to cover for the amount of customers that were there (they did their best). The Gilded Lily Band was great. Their music got people dancing and having a fun time. We will go back in the future.

This place was great! The food was just plain delicious!! My fajitas were served on a sizzling platter and had large, tasty portions of the things to go with them, like sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, etc. The meal portion was very large and very reasonably priced. Our server was very friendly, smiled every time she spoke to us and was very efficient. I very much Dean's. I'm already thinking about what kind of great food I'm going to order next time 😋🥰

Don't sleep on this place! First time for breakfast and I left wondering why it took so long! Sat right down, served quickly, more excellent food than we could eat, and the price was reasonable! Where can you get an omelette for under $8 anymore? I had the Rojo omelette and my wife went for the breakfast tacos. We were both happy! I had a biscuit and hash brown casserole and they were great.

We stopped by on a rainy Thursday evening. We greatly enjoyed sitting in the roofed-over outside stage area, where we enjoyed the offerings of the classic rock band. The appetizers were delicious and extremely generous in size. Two shared appetizers were a full meal for us! UPDATE 9/14/24: Another stormy night, and the band was FIRE! Their name was Scarlet Drive, and they had the dance floor filled! They will be appearing at least once a month. The food was awesome as usual, and we ate the leftovers before we even left! Thank you, Dean's, for another great evening at your venue. ❤️ Update: Our family goes to Dean's often on Friday and Saturday nights for the live music and wonderful Tex-Mex food. I'm not saying that's the only nights with live music, that's just when we go.

A good Tex Mex restaurant in Punta Gorda. Some great specials including $5 margarita Monday (frozen are $9.50) and an early bird menu from 4-6. Good salsa. Pleasant service. The restaurant is very clean.
