Hi Hancock Bridge Rib City!!! I am just writing a little note to thank-you all for being you. In today's world there is a lot of competition within the service industry, so when a particular restaurant stands out in a particularly positive and unique way, praise needs to be told. My Mother and I are now eating at this Cape Coral location on a weekly basis. We absolutely love everything about the experience, especially the attitude and friendliness of the employees. The food and value are wonderful --- Combine the two together and it spells A W E S O M E. Keep smiling Carrie, you are special and we hope you stay for many more years... We will definitely continue to ask for you for a long time to come.... Sincerely, James kirk
