Don't take our word for it.
See what other have to say about Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille.

A trip to Sanibel would not be complete without stopping at Doc Ford's for either lunch or dinner, and not to mention a Mojito, or two. You by far, have the best restaurant on the island. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The food is fantastic and I do believe you have the best cuban sandwich I have ever had anywhere. Kudos to all of you for making our frequent stops on Sanibel fun and delicious!! We will be back many times to come, I'm sure.

We are avid readers of Randy Wayne White. We love every page of every book! We've lived in the Apollo Beach & Bradenton area since 1972, and have vacationed at the Castaways almost every year since. Then we began sailing the ICW, and now we travel by trawler. We really enjoy reading about things and places that we know. Well! Now, after having dinner at Doc Ford's Sanibel Rum Bar & Grille we also have fallen in love with the restaurant. We had a neat experience as we were getting ready to leave. We began looking at T-shirts, etc. when a guy asked us how our dinner was. We thought he was waiting for a table. We both gladly opened up and told him how wonderful our dinner was (the best we've ever had in all of our many trips to Sanibel), and then found out that we were talking to Chef Greg. What fun! He not only can cook, but was great fun to talk to also. We can't wait for a return visit. And we can only hope that Randy just might be there to sign a book for us. On a scale of 1-10...Doc Ford's has to be at least a 50!

My 4yr old son and I recently accompanied my husband to Ft Myers Beach while on business. I was heading to the beach with my RWW book as my husband discovered an interview with RWW in a magazine. I was pleased to learn of Doc Ford's Sanibel Rum Bar and Grille. What a memorable evening we had there. The atmosphere was "just our kind of place" and for once we didn't say "we could have had better at home". The appetizer and ice cream sandwich with the kids meal was a big hit. Your Key-Lime Pie is right up there with The Seven-Mile Grille's in Marathon. We left with souveniers and gifts for my friends who are also admiring fans of RWW novels. Living in St Petersurg, we really enjoy reading about a part of the country where we live and boat. I am currently planning a girls weekend in Sanibel and look forward to visiting Doc Ford's again soon. Thank You!

Doc, Had lunch last week at your place, the tropical salad and cerviche were the best I have ever had hands down. Your resturant was the first meal we ate on the island and all others were compared to it. Can't wait to get back for another round. Keep up the great work.

What a fantastic restaurant! We are from Texas, so we love the kick you give to your food! We live in Pennsylvania now, and were visiting Naples for a business meeting. We happened into your restaurant on accident, but were blown away by the food! The Yucatan shrimp is to die for. If anyone can forward a general recipe, it would be most appreciated. Can't wait to visit again in the future. Also, bought the first two books and looking forward to reading about an area of the country that we have fallen in love with..... Best wishes for the future!

We ate at Doc Ford's Thursday and Friday December 28th and 29th. Liz was so great to us both nights. Liz, I bought RWW's new cookbook and can't wait to try the dish I had on Friday: Banana Leaf Snapper. Delicious! And the pina colada you made me was awesome. Those mojitos were great too. Hopefully we can visit my husband's parents there again in the next year. Take care!! Richelle and Eric, Stillwater, OK.
