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 tomatoe on an over toasted piece of bread. When we finally were able to get someone's attention, they recooked the sandwich and never asked again how things were.

I would NOT recommend this place to my dog!

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 nothing!!!! Definitely pass on Hungry Heron.

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.

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!
