I have been this place many times before they moved the location away from south seas. This restaurant is great for a laid-back atmosphere. My son enjoys the seafood here. I enjoy the drinks and the shrimp. It’s very family friendly. We have enjoyed this restaurant chain for many years. Thanks for always serving us with a smile and being fast/efficient. Glad to see you guys open and doing well.

First time back to Doc Fords since the hurricane last year. Stopped in with my husband and daughter after a long day at the beach. The service was outstanding! The food was so good…just as I remembered. We had burger/chicken sandwich/pasta with buffalo wings and shrimp scampi flatbread for appetizers. The Ghiraradeli brownie with ice cream was amazing! Highly recommend!

The food was excellent. It’s not the same food you get at every other place on the beach, this food is different not the same old same old. I cannot recommend the Yucatan shrimp more, it was the best,biggest, most flavorful shrimp I’ve ever had. Sandy our server was just awesome, so friendly and happy to help us make decisions as we have never been there before. I can say this, it is worth the drive and I will be back soon!

After a morning at Bowman’s Beach we stopped at Doc Ford’s to enjoy lunch and cocktails and also hoped to run into Randy Wayne White penning away at his next novel. While we didn’t see Mr. White we did enjoy lunch. The food was tasty and so were the drinks. The service was great, very attentive, great attitude, friendly, The atmosphere was pleasing, we’d return not just for another chance at a Randy Wayne White sighting, but for the food as well!

The seasoning of the mussels dish was to die for. We asked for more bread again, again so we could have it with the seasoning. However, the waiter didn’t mention we are being charged for… Not cool.

We were on Sanibel to do some shelling (big shock – shelling on Sanibel, what?), and decided to have a late lunch at Doc Ford’s. On previous trips, we have eaten at the Ft. Myers location and liked it.

We recently dined at Doc Fords and we had a great time and a delicious dinner. Chael our server was very attentive and helpful. The Prime Rib special was easily enough for two people. Doc Fords is always a good choice on Sanibel given its excellent service and delicious food!

Had the BEST birthday dinner!! Definitely recommend the Key Lime Colada for hot days like this. The buffalo shrimp was a perfect app. I loved the penne with shrimp, but be warned, you might enter a food coma afterwards. We also got the seafood paella, which was literally bursting with flavor. The food was phenomenal, but the excellent service is what really made this dinner so special. The folks at Doc Fords, especially Margaux, made me feel so special. Thank you for a great birthday celebration!

Nice building with seating outside and of course inside. Food is fairly priced and very good. We had the fish sandwich ($12.99) and chicken sandwich special ($17). Both were very good. Food came out quickly and our server checked on us a few times. This was our first visit to this location, we typically frequent the Ft Myers Beach location.
