I love Steak & Shake! I am afraid that after a year down there I'll weigh 600 pounds. There aren't any up here in Baltimore.

Mary, there will never be a Pizza Hut in Sanibel. It's residental. However, there is a Pizza Hut not far from you in Wildwood. They will deliver to you. , but if your address is not on GPS yet, you may need to call them directly. Here is their website where you could order online for delivery or pickup:

Pizza Hut - Build Your Own Pizza or Choose One of Our Specialties

I like Steak and Shake too. There's none near us in NY but it's become a favorite in Florida. Great shakes, great prices.

Just love 'em! I got introduced to S&S when I was working out in Illinois many years ago. My wife & I are originally from upstate NY and there are none there, but I've worked in a number of states over the years and I could always find them in the mid-west. Having them nearby us in Florida will be dangerous!!

Did you know that between 2pm and 4pm that the shakes at Steak and Shake are half price? Yep, any shake is only $1.85.

Will it remain all you can eat? I max at 2 slices but like the thought of all that value of the endless pizza..lol:a040::a040:

I've rarely downplayed any place I've had food from, but I tried Steak and Shakes once. ONCE! The shake was great, but the burgers? Forget it! They were eatable, but I don't think I've ever had burgers that I've liked less! I'd describe them, but I actually found them forgettable... and I love burgers, not like Wimpy does, but I do! As I've stated before though... don't just take my opinion about them... try them and decide for yourself sometime.

Wi11iam, from Paulm47's post #39 above. The place is apparently now closed.

Picked up 2 good pizzas from "Cici's" on Saturday and they said they would stay open on Monday to try to sell off the remaining stock.

Sad but true, I went by Monday, CLOSING, only $5 carry out pizzas until they run out of supplies. They were nice people, Gary and Dominic. What I fear most is that CiCi’s won’t give up the location and turn it back into a CiCi’s when we could have had a decent buffet like Pizza Hut. The Hungry Howies buffet in Wildwood is very good and only $4.99 They got a new owner this summer who really cleaned it up. I watch them and when there’s only 1 or 2 slices left on a pizza, they throw them away and put out a whole fresh pie.

I have a feeling that you won't see Cici's there again. We were by it just a few hours ago and they Cici's sign was gone! Personally I doubt that you would see Pizza Hut there. Doesn't fit their signature building look.

What I wouldn't mind though is a good deli, either Italian or one like they would have in the greater NYC area. Aah... for a deli sandwich that is much bigger then my mouth!

Ahh yes - Carnegies, 2nd Ave. Deli, etc. etc.
Although, personally I would prefer an Italian Deli. LOL
Would love to see a diner like we had on Long Island.
Great food - open 24/7 !!!!

The "CiCi's" was removed before they were forced to close. We noticed this when we ate there during the time it was "Village" Pizza.

Oh yeah, a good deli or a diner around here would be a definite money maker! How about a good pastrami on rye with the meat piled high, not just in the center of the bread but all over. Seems like most places make a sandwich so it's thick with meat in the middle but the edges are pretty much empty. At first you think you have a decent sandwich but after a couple of bites you realize you have been duped.

I agree. The first time I was at Carnegie my eyes must have bugged out of my head. TALK ABOUT A SANDWICH!

But. . . that was then and this is now.
Still will probably never get used to not being able to eat something at 2 or 3 in the morning. Nice scrambled eggs/sausage and has browns. Cheeseburgers and fries.

ENOUGH - I'm getting hungry. :icon_hungry:
