What a horrible dining experience and disappointment. I can only hope they were just having a bad day. We waited for about 20 minutes to be seated and then we got seated in the very back corner booth and could barely get to the booth because there were so many tables and not enough room between them. They have a... more

If you are vacationing on Sanibel or Captiva Island, this restaurant on Sanibel is the choice for most of us. I mean, I'm not a millionaire, even though it is located on a million-dollar island. The food is surprisingly tasty and at a decent cost. There may be other restaurants like it but I'm not aware of them. The bar... more

Ate here twice in August. Quite busy both times. The menu is big ~ 250 items. Massive portions, friendly, helpful staff, good service. Would recommend for hungry families wanting something much better than fast food at a good price. Loved the shrimp more

We have been to Sanibel 8-10 times and have always enjoyed eating at the Hungry Heron. This was our first visit to Sanibel in 5 years, and we ate there our second night. After passing several restaurants with overflowing crowds on our way to the Hungry Heron, the 5-6 cars in the Hungry Heron parking lot should have told us... more

Huge portions of extremely fresh food, seasoned delightfully. Menu covered everything you could possibly want. I would kill for the sweet potato fries with lime honey mustard recipe. Took my doggie bag home and had the remaining shrimp and sweet potato fries for breakfast the next morning. They were that good!! Husband got the meatloaf with potatoes and veggies, served... more

We tried the Hungry Heron for lunch and for the most part enjoyed the experience. Nothing about it was outstandingly good or remarkably bad, but everything about it was slightly unusual, which made it good for conversation. The décor is odd, possibly even disconcerting, but we liked it. The restaurant is dark, no windows in the main dining room; the... more

This place was a major disappointment. Food was cold, bread stale, place dirty. Skip it! more

Delicious food, extremely large portions (you WILL need a doggie bag), and short wait time are a few of the reasons we always eat at the Hungry Heron, at least twice during our two week stay at Sanibel Island. The staff is friendly and the ambience casually ocean-themed. The only problem we have when dining there is making up our... more

Food was very good for the price, staff was friendly and prompt. For a beach type sit down family dining with kids it is a great place. Atmosphere is a fun, geared toward kids decor with 3 televisions tuned to kid shows. more
