Our last night on the island we still had a coupon for this place and I really wanted to go for the literature I found. I was not dissapointed. The seating looks like a boat motif but the food was wonderful. I would highly recommend this place for good seafood. more

The building and the advertisments looked good. I thought it would be a cool place to hang out for some casual dining. The food was horrible, service bad, atmosphere was lame. The shrimp was nothing special and the prices were too high. I did see alot of people ordering the all you can eat crab and they looked happy... more

We were a little concerned because of some of the reviews, but service was wonderful and we all loved our food. We ordered: linguine and clam sauce, peel and eat shrimp, stuffed shrimp, fried shrimp, clam strips, chicken tenders, fried shrimp and mud pie. The only drawback was the odor of bleach or a similar cleaner when we first walked... more

Overpriced, underwelmed. My salad had lettuce and two cherry tomatoes. Thats it. No crutons, cheese, onion, nothing. I had shrimp alfredo, and the sauce was the one you buy in the grocery(I can't remember the brand name but we both recognized it). My wife had butterflied fried shrimp, and these were at best pedestrian. Please don't waste your time and... more

We picked this restaurant as we drove by it because there were so many cars there and it looked so inviting. In spite of the parking lot being nearly full, the restaurant had plenty of room for us. The menu is so full of good items to order that it was difficult to make a choice. However, after making our... more

My husband and I loved eating at McT's when we started dating 15 years ago. So, we decided to return to the area where we met for our 10th anniversary. And, of course, McT's was part of the plan. Everything was just as we remembered. We got our favorite nook table and four, delicious kinds of shrimp, ranked here in... more

My wife and I had dinner at McT's our first night on Sanibel Island. We wanted a relaxed and moderately priced meal and McT's delivered. The place had great atmosphere, the kind of neighborhood island feel that most chain restaurants strive for. We had oysters on the half shell to start, which were fresh and satisfying. Bread and salads were... more

there are lots of mediocre restaurants on Sanibel, expect the food to be overpriced and great service is the exception rather than the rule but my recent meal at Mc T's was even worse. On a medium to slow night the service was dreadful, never asked if want a second drink, really mailed it in , probably given that our... more

I was not impressed by this restaurant because they seated alot of parties in a dark, hot section adjacent to the bar, instead of in the air conditioned dining room, which was half-empty. We had to ask for the early bird menu (tthat the Chamber of Commerce lady told us about) and they only gave us one to share. Desserts... more
