Five of us enjoyed a delicious meal at Timbers last night (11-10-09) and our server Danny was spectacular. He was efficient, professional and had a wonderful sense of humor. The only part of the meal that we didn't enjoy were the desserts. Four of us bought a dessert to take home and share....and none ( chocolate cake, coconut cake, pecan... more

We had two fabulous meals at Timbers during our recent stay in Sanibel. Both times the food was delicious and service was great. Our server during our first visit, Sarah, was absolutely outstanding! They are currently running some 30th anniversary specials which are a good, more cost-effective means if you are on a tighter budget. But even with drinks and... more

We always make sure to stop by Timbers a couple of times when we get down to Sanibel. It is a very straightforward fish restaurant with awesome fish to purchase and take home as well. Cute interior decoration but our only complaint is that the wait staff is kind of aloof. There is a nice bar inside with a good... more

One of my close friends recommended going to Sanibel for great seafood at the Timbers. We were very impressed. The cocktails were cold and delicious. The peel and eat shrimp were good but the best part was the crunchy grouper. Never had anything like that before. My husband had the filet and it was cooked to perfection. The manager Ron... more
