All is Good - I hate being on vacation and having to pay high prices for mediocre food. Well - Doc Ford's is not like that! The food is excellent, the prices are good, they don't rush you, the kids meals are snazzy. We come here every time we are on Sanibel. Sometimes more than once! The Yucatan Shrimp are awesome! Check out the Randy Wayne Wright fiction - great reads while on vacation.

We eat our first and last dinner on the Islands here every year. I can't say enough about Doc Ford's. Everything is always delicious and we never have any complaints. Service is always fast and friendly and we leave stuffed. (It is vacation! ) We had a variety of things here this trip but tops on our list are the fish tacos and the grouper sandwich. The pulled barbecue pork sandwich is huge and very good. The only thing I can ever say that isn't positive is the busboy tries to take your plate away before you are finished eating! This happens to us consistently and it is the very same guy every year. I remind my kids to "hold onto your plates" when we visit Docs!

The food was really good. We liked everything we had. Service was good too. The building was ok, but we had a great time.

I've been to Doc Ford's a number of times on my annual trip to Sanibel. I visited Doc Ford's again this week for dinner and we were very disappointed.
While the atmosphere is nice, the drink selections are good, the food and service were not.
Our waiter mixed up our drinks, he did not come back forever to check on my friend who was waiting to order hers, one friend had a fly in her drink and he took even longer to get her a new drink.
He checked on us immediately after our food was delivered which was not enough time to find out our food was not good. I asked how the mkt price ($14!) grouper sandwich was seasoned and he said just salt and pepper. Well, when it came it was practically blackened with pepper which was overkill. My friend's burger was so peppered she couldn't eat it. The chicken sandwich was prepared the same.
I think they over-season all the food to make it more "Cuban" but it's not good. He never came back to check on us and another guy cleared the table so he didn't even see we didn't eat our meals. I wish it was better, but next year I will only go to drink at the bar after eating a good grouper sandwich at the Lazy Flamingo.
