Elena's - Punta Gorda

Really kind of sub-mid food here, expecting a lot more for how good the reviews are, but to be expected in this town.

This is the best place in town for breakfast. Consistently good food. A very friendly atmosphere. Waitstaff is so friendly, especially the tall blonde! We will wait until she has a free table! Close Elena’s…you won’t be disappointed!!!

The floors had straw wrappers and dirt in piles under the tables. My coffee cup had pieces of something besides coffee on the side. The bottom of the cup had coffee grounds in it. The waitress (tall blonde in her 60s) had 0 social skills, and checked on us once. The side salad apparently adds three dollars to a sandwich meal when replacing fries. The salad looks like old bagged salad from the grocery store when you forget about it for a few days. Disgusting, especially since it was several dollars more. The total was 50 dollars. They ask if I want to put a tip on the card, putting the customer on the spot to give a higher tip. It is the cheapest quality food you can get for not the cheapest price. Prime in port Charlotte gives free bread and delicious salad with their meals, and the meals are big enough to eat half and bring another half home. We fed 3 people at prime twice for 80 dollars last week, while this horrible subpar food was 50 to feed 3 people once. Why would anyone spend that money? I cannot in good conscience patronize this establishment again due to mediocre service, horrible low grade food, and unclean conditions. Also, you’re charging more to use a card. Your establishment benefits from customers being able to use cards. More people are able to use money at your establishment more easily. This is sneaky way for your business to skim more money out of people becuase you know most people use cards now. Sad.

I used to live in Port Charlotte now I live in the cape used to go to Elena's a lot great to see it hasn't changed it was awesome

When we are in Florida we like to eat breakfast there . My husband parents took us there and we liked it there to eat .
