We'd heard about the Mucky Duck from others, and called for lunch on our day trip to Sanibel and Captiva Islands. The place is easy to find, and has its own free parking (albeit limited in the number of spaces). There is a fundamental choice to be made between I) eat in with waiter service, and II) eat outside, placing... More

My favorite here is the grilled lobster tail. Lots of other things on the menu are great too. It's the only beach front restaurant on Captiva. Get there early while your waiting for a table sit outside and watch the sun set, have a drink and listen to the live entertainment. Limited parking so come by golf cart if you... More

Right on the beach with a sunset view of the Gulf that is the main attraction for miles around. A little pricey but the service is excellent with a little comic theater added by the staff. After being seated in mid-afternoon our waitress asked us if we would like a seat by the window. It's was a fairly small dining... More

Everyone said you must go to the "Mucky Duck" so we did. I must admit this was the absolutely WORST meal we had on Captiva Island !! We went on a night later and it was not busy. Our waitress looked tired and had an attitude. She was not friendly and really did not pay attention to us. The food... More

Right on the gulf, you can't miss with this one. It's way at the end of Captiva Island, but if you are vising, you will be there anyway! Burgers are good, french fries wonderful, staff is friendly, and you can't beat the walk on the beach even if it's November and a bit chilly.

Good food on the beach at a reasonable price. Excellent service. Soups are excellent. Watch out for the ketchup bottle.

It started with you can't move your chair even tough I couldn't get in my seat because it was so close to another table. Then the Restaurant was recommended by... More

The evening we were there, there was a wedding party of sorts going on, so a lot of festivities and a keyboard player. Parking is at a premium and there was a gentleman there to show you available spots to park (for free). There's an outdoor bar (wine & beer only) which they do make some interesting concoctions with wine,... More
