The inside has a unique decor & ambiance. It is quaint, quiet, has very friendly owners, & excellent food. I like that it is like a private little villa on the inside.

The biggest menu you've ever seen! Everything on it is DELICIOUS & unique. The atmosphere is beachy, quirky, unusual, fun, & they sometimes have live music. They have everything from BBQ to seafood. My favorite are the Combo Tacos (Boom Boom Shrimp & Crunchy Grouper Tacos). They have really good oysters, too. I like the cold berry soup & the drink they serve with grape juice over vanilla ice cream. Instead of bread, they give you MUFFINS! Ask for honey & butter to go with your muffins & they'll bring it out to you. OH! And they have the BEST restaurant t-shirts on the island. *Do not get the Seafood Paella. It's the only thing I've ever gotten here that wasn't great. I LOVE Seafood Paella & my favorite way it's made on the island is at Fresh Taqueria if you want a quiet dining experience with indoor OR outdoor seating & prefer to help out a small, family-run business OR get the Seafood Paella at Doc Ford's on Sanibel or Captiva b/c it is yummy there, too.

I go for THE BEST THAI SHRIMP dish for $12 & they have awesome desserts, such as the CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING & the Berry Crumble w/ice cream. Pee-n-eat shrimp, Crunch Grouper Reuben Sandwich, King Crab Legs, Filet... Great food, fun atmosphere, & YUMMY food. It's a "bar," but it's family-friendly & low key. Just next door in the same building is Timbers Restaurant, which is more of a sit-down place with delicious food & a larger menu. Neither place has live music.

I love their steaks & Crunchy Grouper. This is a sit-down, nice restaurant but the atmosphere is low key enough for families by all means. They do not have live music. You can also get to go items such as peel-n-eat shrimp, fresh fish, sushi, & more at their Raw Bar upfront. I always get a 1/2 lb of peel-n-eat shrimp & a pint of their Crab Bisque (TO DIE FOR) to go for the next day. Just next door, in the same building, is a FUN, YUMMY, MORE AFFORDABLE place called Sanibel Grill. Get the Thai Shrimp. Yummy desserts. Same owners.

Go for the CAKE. Walk around the place up & down & all around (they let you) to take in all of the unusual sights. Your kids (& you) will love it. I USUALLY go to Doc Ford's on Captiva & pick up dessert from the Bubble Room ON THE WAY TO DOC FORD's b/c the Bubble Room closes at 9:00 I think. It is NOT my favorite place to eat unless I order this one thing & IT IS very FUN to eat there b/c you have a Bubble Scout as a server with Boy/Girl Scout type uniforms, crazy patches on them, wigs & crazy hats, & it's Christmas YEAR ROUND at the Bubble Room. I always get the Tiny Bubble if I eat there b/c it includes an appetizer, BUBBLE BREAD, STICKY BUNS, an appetizer (which are all fantastic- my favs are the fish dip & the flaming cheese), & one of their AMAZING desserts that is big enough for 3 people. My FAVORITES are in this order: Orange Crunch Cake (I'm not an orange fan, but THIS IS AMAZING & has brown sugar, butter, & almond layers in between the most melty cake ever), Red Velvet (I WANT ONE RIGHT NOW!), & the White Christmas (Coconut) Cake- Out of this WORLD. If you like Rum Cake or Cheesecake, theirs is the best of each! They do not serve breakfast or have live music. You can walk to the beach after supper to see the sunset at The Mucky Duck, which only has bar food & is not one of my favs at all unless you go for drinks or just walk out onto the beach there for a cool experience of watching the sun set with lots of other people who come from all over for that reason.

HOLE IN THE WALL! Unknown! Go there! They have all kinds of crazy taco combos that are awesome- plus homemade guacamole & some really crispy yummy chips. If you like beer, they have an extensive beer menu that is pages long. MY FAVORITE DISH is the Seafood Paella on their dinner menu. TO DIE FOR. Tell them to make sure the rice is cooked fluffy. My favorite little place!!!!!!!!!!! They have outside or inside seating & a really funky gift shop in their restaurant. You have to park about 1/2 a block PAST the restaurant in their lot, then walk back to the restaurant. It's cool. Go.

VERY COOL atmosphere located on the golf course. THE FOOD IS SO AMAZING but it's not cheap. I LOVE THIS PLACE. The pork chop (The Coyote Chop) is OUT OF THIS WORLD (SERIOUSLY- who goes to the beach to get a PORK CHOP??? You will here!). I love the Chilean Sea Bass & their Chocolate Cake. If you are REALLY LUCKY, you'll go on a night when the Chocolate Bread Pudding is the special.

Ok, there are 2 Doc Ford's- one at Sanibel & one on Captiva. Both are great. Both have outdoor seating. Both are loud & busy usually & both have live music. I like ONE THING there & that is the Seafood Paella. Everyone else LOVES this restaurant, so now I have a go-to dish when I go with friends or family to Doc's. You'll probably love it. If you think not, get the Seafood Paella... which, by the way, I also get at Fresh Taqueria for a much more low-key dining experience & to help out a small, family-owned business that I really hope makes it.

Ok, HANDS DOWN, my favorite restaurant. I go every year on my birthday & blow $$$. They have THE MOST AMAZING food & atmosphere. It is on the beach (one of the only beachfront restaurants on the island), has live music with a singer & piano player, plus a small dance floor in the center of the restaurant that is great for older people or children alike- all ages have fun at Traditions. They even have a small bar. I always get the Chocolate Martini b/c it is the most amazing thing ever & worth every calorie, but they are STRONG, so watch out. Seriously. I always get the Veal Scallopini & the Warm Spinach Salad. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. Oh. Warning: They have "Valet" parking, which is quite ridiculous b/c the parking lot is next to the restaurant. Pull up, get out, give them the keys, & then give them $5 at the end. Suck it up.

Amazing flavors of ice cream, custard, & frozen yogurt. I especially like the Red Velvet & I always get a quart of the Salted Caramel Pretzel. They will let you taste them all. Just put a $1 in the tip jar if you wear them out please. LOL

This is a not-very-good restaurant with some really DELICOUS Coconut Ice Cream. You go into the front & they have an ice cream counter. I love it. I don't eat food there though unless I'm with my parents b/c they always want to go there b/c it's never crowded (GO FIGURE), so I get the coconut shrimp, which are ok.

Ok, if you are a restaurant snob, don't go here. The atmosphere has a family-feel to it, even though they've gone to great lengths to make it beachy & fun looking. It even has open french doors that bring in the air & there's a separate sports bar that's great for games & much more low key that other bars in town. BUT I absolutely love their Coconut Shrimp & Sweet Potato Fries when I just want to eat pig out kind of food. MUST GET THE Coconut Curry Dipping sauce, which is pretty much why I come here & get the shrimp & fries. I dip them in the Coconut Curry sauce & my belly smiles.

When on Sanibel, you have 2 choices for a Grocery Store & both are must sees for different reasons but both are more expensive than what you get in Ft. Myers. At Bailey's, pick up your local Sanibel papers (there are 2) outside. They are free & are full of local goings-ons. Bailey's has an awesome Gift Shop & Hardware Store inside their grocery store, plus a liquor store next door, as well as a tiny movie theater that shows just 2 shows, while Jerry's Foods (called "Jerry's" by locals) has talking birds & outdoor garden-type scenery plus a really great surf & souvenir shop in the same shopping center. Do not get the Bailey's cakes even though they look good. Get the Bubble Room cake & be a happier person. OR, get a Key Lime Pie from JERRY's ONLY (NOT BAILEY's KEY LIME PIES, YUCK) to keep at the house for 8 servings of delicious dessert & the perfect tart key lime pie.

I love this kitcheny-type store. It is full of unique gifts to take home, such as Key Lime Dressing, Hot Pepper Jelly, Key Lime Cookies, teas, soups, dressings, sauces, jellies, candies, & more. They also have lots of beachy kitchen items, such as dish towels, coasters, placemats, spoon rests, mugs, mason jar lamp kits, & more. It's a tiny little store in Perwinkle Place Shopping Center, which is a must. Eat at the Blue Giraffe. I love their Thai Fish Wrap & their Key Lime Pie/Cake (it's half pie, half cake).

Outdoor shopping mall with wooden walkways, water fountains, & a playground. You will feel like you're outside all day while shopping. Has lots of benches where the waiters can wait while the shoppers shop. They have some really unique shops, including 2 t-shirt shops with elaborately painted floors, a toy shop that is most unique, & my favorite gift shop, Sand Castle Gifts.

Very unique furniture shop run by 2 sisters & a daughter. They all paint the furniture themselves & even do custom work. A lot of it is shabby chic at its finest. They have expensive pieces as well as more affordable items. I bought a nightstand there for $30 that is orange shabby chic & way cool.

Drinks & Nightlife

Restaurant & Bar- where the locals go after they all get off work on Sanibel. They have karaoke & live bands. It's fun. I don't like their food, but most people do. I DO like their ahi tuna appetizer- it's delicious & their Gluten Free Chocolate Cake- it's even better than the regular one I think. Fun atmosphere for drinks, dancing, & music. They also have lots of local artwork on the walls that is cool.

Intimate beach bar with live music, fun drinks, & good people. It's a small venue & you'll have fun. They have this Nacho appetizer dish that is so good & will serve an Army, so take your friends or family. It's also open in the daytime & has live music also & is family-friendly at that time.
