We went to Doc Ford's twice on our recent trip. The first time was for drinks and appetizers on the deck. The second time was for dinner inside. Sitting outside on the deck, we did have a problem with a few bug bites but the atmosphere was very nice. I had a mojito, hubby a beer. Second time sat inside... more

We always go to Doc Ford's at least once on our trips to Sanibel. The food is always great, and the prices are reasonable. If you like Rum, try the Zaya. I also love the Doc Ford novels, and it is always exciting to see Randy Wayne White there! more

Everyone was... more

The Yukatan Shrimp were the food highlight of our trip. Prices were very reasonable. We met a local the next day, who told us it would be the only place on the... more

We asked for a good restaurant at our hotel and got this name because many were closed for the season. We came in at 8:30 and the place was nearly empty. More like a sports bar. We ordered calamari. It was OK but served with cocktail sauce. And... no other sauces but ranch were available! Then my boyfriend ordered blackened... more
