Been in Fort Myers for the past 19 years and i loveeeeeeeeeeeee going too the Heron whenever i can. Every thing is wonderful from the time i walk in the door till the time i leave. If you don't feel like and Islander from the atmosphere then your probably in the wrong place . The Management and Staff go out... 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

Upon entering we were immediately turned off by the dirty basement-esque atmosphere, wall to wall carpet and dropped panel ceiling. Although we tried to stay optimistic and enjoy our family dinner out, things continued to spiral downward. The waitstaff was rude and the dinner practically inedible. The salads came wilted and cold like they had been sitting in refrigeration for... more

My extended family enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Hungry Heron over the busy Easter week. We planned on a late lunch and were seated quickly. We had 10 in our party ranging from 65 to 4. Everyone found something they liked on the huge menu. The portions were large enough that we didn't need anything but a snack for... more

you cant miss this place if you are in the ft. Myer/sanibel area. the service was wonderful and the seafood was as fresh as we have found. the menu is almost overwhelming, so you can always find just the right combination. great specials and all-you-can-eats too. we cant wait to go back! more

My family and I were very sceptical of going to the Hungry Heron after reading some of the other reviews. But so many of the locals and businesses including another restaurant, recommended Hungry Heron. So we tried it and enjoyed it very much. I guess that is why they call it a Personal Opinion, because this place did not fall... more

It is what it is, fast service, good family menu, nothing fancy. If your looking for a romantic night out I would go elsewhere, but if your looking for a lot of food at reasonable prices it's a good place to chow down. I guess you would call it old Florida style food. Moslty fired fish, not for a patient... more
