Went there lastnight. 4/23/2008. Was very skeptical after reading the below reviews. Thought we would give happy hour a try and if it was good would try dinner.

Happy hour we had a couple of beers and some crab legs. Very good. Our server Jeff was new but very attentive.
I had the stuffed shrimp and my beautiful wife had the special which was the almond crusted grouper. My son also had the kids chicken strips. All three were very good and we all had leftovers to come back to our condo.

So all in all, I would say it was very good. We learned for restaurants on Sanibel to get there early. No waiting for tables and usually the best food is out early.

Five of us made our annual visit to McT's expecting the same good service and good food as in prior years. Three of us order the same Mahi-Mahi. Two tasted OK but my wife's was rotten tasting. All the other food was average at best. What a disappointment!

The waiter would do nothing to make it right and when asked if the manager was available he said he was to busy to talk to us. There are many other good food places on Sanibel for us to check out next year. Save your money here and go with us somewhere else.

March 2008 - I wouldn't waste my time here, if you're looking for a nice, peaceful meal. Wait staff and host/manager were rude, obviously burnt out on waiting on tourist. Host/manager walked right past us three times, even tho we were the only people waiting to be seated. Went later in the evening, since the place was mobbed during rush hour with families with crying babies! Know the restaurant can't control what flops in there for dinner, but God only knows why this place was packed, since the food was only so so and pricey.

we have been going to mctees for over 10 years...when the new owner took over few yrs ago...couldnt believe the mermaids
were just about gone...the place used to be so artistic and it was
the most amazing shrimp house..do any of you old timers remember the crowds...and the ambience?and of course the food..well heres what went downhill first:
1) no more mermaids and an odis fisherman instead
along with the disappearamce of the honey maple bread loaf with special honey butter, and also disappearance
of what seemed like a really homemade honey mustard dressing...these things were very good here!
2) now the bread they had introduced which was an
amazing garlic ciabatta has just disappeared being replaced
with a fairly good bread...but not as good
3) the lounge has just been ripped apart and remodeled
to fit more drinkers in...its a sports bar now...brightly lit
and no more seaside painted artwork..all covered with
yellow paint...only 4 tables in the entire lounge sit
a couple...all others are 8 or more huge tables...
makes no sense....very high hard wooden barstools throughout
hard to climb up on and uncomfortable...just remembering the cozy booths candlelit before ...they totally destroyed it.no traces
of the old mc tees except they left the trees...that is all
4)they dont honor coupons that have no expiration date
that is a little odd...wasnt type to argue...its just principle
if you printed it thankgiving week..and a few weeks after...
alot of us come back xmas into january and if no expiration
we will clip it and save it...wouldnt you ???
5)cant tell for sure, but shrimp breading tastes
different...dont know if its changing
6) waitresses are nice , seems the owners are going for
the bucks now...and mctee's is going totally away from
what it was...food is still "good"...but was shocked to see
the lounge missing all its charm...hope i am not being to critical
does anyone agree?
