Duffy's Sports Grill opened its first unit on Florida’s West Coast in mid-February in Estero in the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area. The casual dining sports-themed restaurant opened on Stoneybrook Gulf Blvd. at Corkscrew Rd., across from the Miromar Outlets. It is also the Lake Worth-based chain’s 27th location in Florida. Founded in 1985 in South Florida, Duffy's Sports Grill has grown into a regional chain with locations spanning the East Coast of Florida from Miami to Melbourne plus two recently added locations in the Orlando area. "Duffy's has chosen Estero as our first location on the west coast because of the community's growth strategy and vision for the future," explains Jason Emmett, Duffy's Sports Grill Senior Vice President of Operations. "It's clear the residents of Estero care deeply about their community, and given that we pride ourselves on creating a family-friendly, quality focused, casual dining experience, we look forward to introducing Duffy's Sports Grill to the residents of this charming community." The restaurants feature an upscale sports environment complete with all the satellite programming available, more than 75 TVs per location, and framed authentic sports memorabilia throughout each restaurant. The menu features freshly prepared ingredients and grilled items including signature favorites such as Duffy's BBQ Baby Back Ribs, hand-breaded Traditional Jumbo Wings tossed in a choice of more than ten sauces, grilled-to-order steaks and a variety of salads and pastas to go with cocktails, premium wine and bottled beer.
