Visited for the first time since moving to the area 6 months. It was a great find. We sat at the bar and were served wonderfully by Caroline. Fantastic menu (more to be explored for sure), superb views, wonderful drinks and really fun service. Highly...recommend for locals and visitors alike. My favorite bite of the day was the Conch Chowder. Also the Yucatán shrimp… save a few, and the broth, and cook your next steak with it. YUM!!More

I am visiting my friend in the area near by. This place is super fun with great food and drinks. Cornealius was a great waiter and delivered the best service.

Good food, slow service, large portions, tables too close together, uncomfortable seating, not enough parking, moderately priced. BUT, completely wiped out by Hurricane "Ian", don't know when or even if they'll reopen.

Doc Ford's was boisterous place. It was very busy, but the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The drinks were awesome, and the food was delicious. I recommend the seafood paella. Give Doc Ford's a try. You will not be disappointed

Excellent service, great view and interesting story about how the owner / author started the business. Hopefully they will get back to business after the hurricane. The brownie and ice cream treat for celebrating my birthday was a welcome treat that our table shared.

Stopped in for dinner on Friday September 23rd 2022. It was busy but we got a place in line and then ordered drinks by a bar downstairs that was right on the water front, very enjoyable. We had not even finished before they called us...to our table which was upstairs and again was water front, such a nice view.
Our server was Mary and she was very friendly and helpful. Our dinner was brought out quickly and was piping hot, very fresh and cooked perfectly. It was obvious our food didn't sit but was plated and served right away. We really appreciated the well trained and professional staff.
We had a very good experience and highly recommend this place. We left the area for home shortly after Hurricane Ian struck, we hope this place was spared and can be repaired or rebuilt and we hope everyone is o.k. and safe.More

Food is fantastic, locals were pulling up to the docks via boat. Such a cool experience for someone from Ohio. Fish sandwich was fresh and full of flavor, calamari was breaded perfectly, not to heavy, just right. Clam chowder was full of clams, it had...a thick chowder base that I love, more like a pot pie cream consistency. The live band started promptly at 1:00pm on Sunday. Very enjoyable.
Edgar was our server. He was attentive, quick and focused. Excellent service!More

We visited Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille in Ft. Myers Beach in June 2022. Our server Mike was very efficient and friendly and had great recommendations. He made our experience the best, and the great food was a bonus.

Doc Ford's by the bridge is always our first stop in FMB - consistently great food with delicious specials, always friendly service, fantastic view. Being on the water, definitely gets you in the right frame of mine. :) This time Frank was so great. Never...lets us down, highly recommend!More

Took my mother out to eat and we had such a great time! The atmosphere was perfect and our server Dillan was an awesome guy. I would definitely recommend the rumrunners and the red fish bowl. I will be coming back in.
