Our first night in Sanibel we tried Doc Ford's since most reviewers seem to rave about it. The waitress was cheerful and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. For our dinner selections we started with a cup each of the conch chowder and clam chowder which were good. We were told the conch chowder was on...

We ate here twice because it was so good. Their peel and eat shrimp are great and were quite large (about 10 large shrimp for the 1/2 lb. order) which was plenty for two of us. They were served chilled and were cleaned and very fresh . For an entree I ordered the Banana Leaf Snapper which is actually a...

My family visited Doc Ford's last week and it started with the hostess that gave me an attitude and ended with the bus boy who circled our table like a vulture, just waiting for us to put our forks down to grab our plate. At one point I grabbed my dish and said *NO* and he finally backed away. The...

Our server was very attentive and made good suggestions to the couple who had not dined at the restaurant. Everyone enjoyed a different dish and were pleased with their selections. As usual the...

Doc Ford's food is consistently very good, and the service is warm and friendly. You'll see lots of locals and tourists here, at every time of year. The menu has a nice variety, so there is something for everyone in your dining group. The atmosphere is fun and comfortable, with plenty of televisions which mercifully have the volume turned off....

Had a dinner here last weekend with my wife. Clean, lively place, with lots of TVs to watch sports. Food is OK, nothing was special that we ordered. Very friendly accommodating staff. Next time we visit Sanibel we would stop by for lunch. Some of my food tasted as if it had been enhanced in the Microwave.
