Tripadvisors you let me down on this one. The food isn't bad. Maybe I should give it three stars, but I was so depressed by the whole package that I just won't. This place isn't what it thinks it is. Hanging a kayak from your ceiling doesn't automatically make you a tropical island getaway. My "panko crusted" fish had not... More

I really like Doc Fords. The food is good and the atmosphere is nice. Good for dinner or lunch or just drinks with friends.

I am an avid Randy Wayne White reader, so I was eager to try Doc Ford's. My husband did not think the food was anything special and was overpriced, but my snapper wrapped in a banana leaf was excellent. We went here twice and I would go back for the snapper, yucatan shrimp and the key lime pie. Other choices... More

Loved the staff. They were very friendly. Gave great ideas. "TJ" was our waiter one evening. Great bar & tender. Got carry out and ate in.

My party of 3 had 2 differentt fish dinners. They were both great! The fries were the best that I've had in a while. Will definitely be back!!!

This is our third visit to Sanibel/Captiva and our first visit to Doc Ford's Rum Bar and Grill. By far, one of the best, if not THE BEST, place for food and drinks! They have a full size bar, and though they specialize in rum drinks, they made the best ever frozen Margarita on the islands! Had the Yucatan shrimp... More

This is a very casual and family-friendly place with tvs to watch sports. Meal was much better than we expected for such a casual place. Service was fine and good value for the money; only drawback was the limited and weak wine selection. Expect to wait for a table during dinner hour as this place was busy even at 8pm.

This is one of our favorite places to eat lunch or dinner while visiting South Seas Resort on Captiva Island. In fact, Doc Fords is in the process in 2013 of adding a new place at the entrance to South Seas Resort, something desperately needed by the resort & that end of Captiva. Their place at Rabbit Rd has a... More

I have eaten at this restaurant several times and have always been happy with the food and service. Most recently I enjoyed the new Captiva Crab Cakes with jicama slaw. Both were very good. A regular favorite of mine is the Quinoa Salad. Nice clean upbeat atmosphere. A recommended stop whether you’re a fan of Randy Wayne White or not.
