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 short of anything. The food selection is huge as well as the portion size, the staff was very attentative and friendly, the look of the restaurant is so Sanibel Island and my meal was very good (I had the Crunchy Grouper and my husband had the Grouper Picata). My children enjoyed playing the ring game outside so much we actually had to buy one to take home with us. Sanibel Island is a historic little island and Hungry Heron fits right into it. Thank God it was not another city type restaurant, I could get that at home (Chicago, Ill).

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 with heart trouble.

We just got back from having dinner at Hungry Heron. It was just my husband and I, there were 2 tables of people that were seated when we arrived and 2 more tables were seated while we were there. We have eaten here numerous times, usually in the summer with our kids when the restaurant is packed with families. The food was okay, a bit overpriced. In general the Hungry Heron has gotten run down over the years and could use some refreshning,

Food is great, service is horrible. The waitress threw our food away instead of boxing it up. She never brought a second helping of fish even though it was all you can eat. I will not return here to eat, for the prices I would expect better service. Instead of eating here you should cross the causeway for $6.00 and go into Fort Myers.

Worn out, dirty and seedy, unfortunately. Tasteless underdone fish sandwiches. Lackluser atmosphere and service. I am a pretty tolerant traveler of most anything I encounter, but this was a low point during the visit to Sanibel. We are trying to forget it. Ignore the popularity ratings, they should be held very suspect.
