Tovos Grill

Tovos is no more. I just drove by tonight and there is a new sign on the building.

"Cinco Amigos"

Just up the street from Five Guys. Yeah, real clever.

...Just did some research... Same owners, new name. (new menu I assume)

We tried it twice. Overpriced for the quality. Better menu selection when it was Arizona Pizza. We won't be back again

There aren't many appealing dining choices along the US41/Cleveland Ave corridor in North Ft Myers, so the arrival of Tovos Grill a year ago has to be a very welcome place to the neighborhood.  Tovos used to be an AZ Pizza, we were told, but the six owners gave up the franchise, kept the location, and turned it into a wood grill. T-O-V-O-S carries the first letter of each owner's last name, so let's hope they get along for a long time in this biz venture (!)

Our luncheon menu was a full page of pizza choices, and another two pages of soups and sandwiches.  You could smell the wood grill on entering the resto, which was great.  Grilled specialities included a BLT, hiding behind a wordy description that baffled the eldest of our group until she cracked the code of the pseudonym, 'triple decker."

I had a blackened sway. Enjoyable. It came on a pressed cuban roll.  Fries were a bit stiff and perhaps left in the fryer a tad too  long for my taste.  

Our four luncheoners in two cars called for directions, and were sadly directed all over the map to get to what turned out to be a very easy to find location.  With misplaced trust in our telephone directions, our trip took an entire hour.  Instead of an apology at the podium, we got a very altered explanation alleging that we weren't starting where we said we had started.  Bad form.  But I took that to be an employee's  character flaw, and not a reflection on what the resto does best - cook simple, satisfying food.  I warned my guest that she would have to carry a passport the next time we tried a new place.  No telling where we would travel.
