Schnapper's Hots is your typical hot dog stand. Good for a quick bite on the way back from the beach. Priced a little high but, considering you are in a resort area, not too out of line. There is always a line, meaning there is always a wait, but the staff moves quickly and the wait is never too long.... more

Schnapper's is one of those places where you end up ordering a ridiculous amount of food simply because everything on the menu sounds fantastic. My wife and I did just that on our recent trip to Sanibel. We went in on a Friday night and carried out 2 Chicago Dog's, A giant box of fries, and a 20 piece box... more

The food is always hot and yummy! Schnappers is great when you are out riding your bike or just on a walk. You have got to stop here for a real hot dog! more

Came here for a quick lunch. Yummy! We both had cheeseburgers that were tasty, on nice french rolls. Had a fun, "50's drive in" type feel to it. more

A great place for a quick lunch. Super tasty! They have a lot of great regional hot dogs if you miss the Chicago or NY style. more

My wife and I will take a trip out to Sanibel just to get Schnapper's- the hot dogs and cheese fries are very tasty. Haven't really tried much else on the menu except the burger- which is well done but not to our taste. Since it is a hot dog place- don't see why you would try anything else. more

Nothing fancy about this place, but something magical for sure. Terresa and I like to stop there when we are scootering around Sanibel Island. The Chicago Dogs are GREAT and the people that work there are always super friendly. Also it feels and smells like a good old fashioned hot dog stand. It's hard to explain but it makes you... more

Okay so it's not your $1 hot dog from in front of Home Depot or some street vendor cheap. But the food was great! We ordered hot dogs, fish sandwiches, fries, and wings. The hot dogs were fabulous, the fish sandwiches were awesome--tender fish cooked perfectly and on a GREAT bun. Where else can you get your choice of sweet... more

The dishwasher in our condo was broken during our visit so we decided to dine out for one night on a budget. The food was excellent! We are already craving their hot wings & my hubby loved the onion rings! We called in our order, picked it up & brought it back to the condo to eat. We will be... more

Just OK.

When we first arrived in Sanibel we decided we would stop at Schnapper's Hots. We all got hot dogs and shared french fries, but we were quite disappointed when we tried our food. The hot dogs were not that great and the fries were just ok. Also, when we got our bill it came to $26 and that is a... more
