About University Grill
Since opening our doors in 1997, University Grill has become a Fort Myers favorite.
Cherished for its consistently high-quality dining experience with a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, quality and service take center stage.
Our restaurant is a celebration of classic American flavors, with a focus on fresh seafood, premium steaks, and hand-crafted martinis. Whether you’re gathering for a casual meal or marking a special occasion, our inviting atmosphere and attentive service ensure every visit is something to savor.
Flavors Rooted in Community
Conveniently located, we’re a go-to spot for dinner and drinks before and after shows and events at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall and the Suncoast Credit Union Arena. We also offer private dining, ideal for special events like birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or business meetings.
Affectionately known as “The U Grill,” we are a community hub where memories are made. Our loyal guests and dedicated team members are the heart of our establishment, and we are committed to delivering an exceptional experience every time you dine with us. We take pride in being a local favorite restaurant where guests return time and again for our signature dishes and welcoming ambiance.
A Taste of Nostalgia
We opened University Grill with one mission: to be Fort Myers’ best for seafood, steaks and martinis. And we weren’t shy about saying so! From witty ads over the years touting our “muscular” scallops to cheeky lines on the quality of our fresh fish, we’ve always had a sense of humor when it comes to sharing what makes us special.
These vintage ads are not only a look back at our dishes but also a glimpse into the playful spirit that’s been with us from the start. They’re a reminder that while tastes may evolve, our commitment to quality—and a good laugh—never goes out of style.
Our affiliation with the renowned Prawnbroker Restaurant Group, a multi-concept seafood restaurant group that set sail in Florida’s culinary waters in 1978, solidifies our commitment to excellence in seafood cuisine and genuine hospitality.
