This place has a HUGE menu. It's like a diner on steroids. There were tons of kids there, and it seems to be the place to go for families. The food was good, not great. more

My wife and I travel to Sanibel frequently and always stop in to the Hungry Heron. We had lunch there July 4th. The restaurant wasn't very crowded at 12:00 (probably most folks at the beaches) so we were seated immediately. We placed our order and within 5 minutes the food arrived (including a takeout order for a late day snack).... more

We could not have ask for a better place to bring our family, huge menu and friendly service, the waitstaff was very up beat and very willing to work with us while we took our time looking over the menu. This place is very busy , and has a great island feel to it! Dont pass this place up, we... more

The restaurant is not exactly clean. It's your typical run down restaurant that could use new carpeting (we think that's what the smell was coming from) and a good overall cleaning. The service was just okay. It took the waitress 10 minutes to initially come to our table and she was slow as molasses. The food was decent, and a... more

The restaurant was dirty and old, the servers were unfriendly and rude, telling us to "wait a minute" when we asked for refills. Waitress never returned to see how things were and let me tell you...the food was HORRIBLE and extremely overpriced!! I ordered the "Better BLT" and it had one slice of bacon, one piece of lettuce and one... more

I live in the area and we frequent Sanibel Island. My recommendation is the service is poor and the food isn't that great. There are enough places to go...Doc Ford's...Lazy Flamingo, Bubble Room that you don't need to subject yourself to horrible service and just okay food. When we spoke to the manager about the rude waitress he did absolutely... more

A bit of advice to the owners of the Hungry Heron: hire more wait staff! We came oh-so-close to walking out after waiting 17 minutes to place our order. The food was good, but, with so many other restaurant choices on the island, you shouldn't have to suffer like we and other diners did. more

We just returned from a great dinner; were promptly greeted (and later served) by Lori and seated. Atmosphere was great - food even better. The menu has 200+ items to select. Plenty to eat so go hungry! more
