New burger joint with old Florida flavors has quickly become one of our favorites

Dominick Cioffi has worked at some of our favorite restaurants around, including Crave in Fort Myers, Rosy Tomorrows in North Fort Myers, and Nevermind and Sage on 47 th in Cape Coral.

His latest gig is as co-owner of Florida Boys Burger Co. in Fort Myers, where he flexes his culinary skills and creativity in the open kitchen daily.

And it’s quickly become one of our favorites too.

Cioffi, along with his brother Louis Cioffi and Roger Lolly ( Floridaboyinc.com on Instagram), opened their old Florida-flavored and burger-based restaurant on July 29 in the Starbucks-anchored plaza on Colonial Boulevard. It took over the former Maverick Grille space just west of Fowler Street.

“We’re grinding away since we opened,” Dominick said. “I figured we would be busy, but not as big as this. I didn’t expect this kind of support this time of year.”

Just how busy has it been?

Well, on a typical Saturday, it’s a line-out-the-door and 250-burgers-sold busy.

Customers from Dominick’s previous gigs are showing up, “even people who knew me from Rosy Tomorrows.”
