Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille

Order the Shrimp and Grits , but ask for it with the Yucatan Sauce . The best! Also like the Carribean Jerk tostados - so fresh and light. Have been coming here for 11 yesrs. Rarely disappointed.

The seafood at Doc Ford's is delish. We had great fish tacos and the Yucatan shrimp is SO good. They have an excellent key lime pie as well . Good ambiance, good food, Island staple. It's a must!

Had the Quinoa salad with shrimp . Fantastic and a must to have. Generous portion and great flavor.

I love the Dinkin's Bay Boil shrimp . I order extra sauce to sop it up. My dad always gets the ribs and they are great too. Go early, place gets busy - even in the off-season. A winner!

As we were finishing our after dinner drinks, I saw the bus person clean the nearest table. That dude totally eradicated any possible source of Covid. Best cleaning procedure ever!

The oysters were hit & miss, some plump & flavorful, others minuscule. To talk of other things: the Yucatan Shrimp tacos were good, as was the buffalo shrimp app. Try the Mount Gay Black Barrel rum .

Known for their Yucatán shrimp in various forms... for good reason. And the mojitos are quite good for not being made in Havana.

Talk to your waiter if you don't think your meal is great. They really want you to enjoy it. Over 30 meals here, they only had to redo 1. Then , 30 perfect meals.

Loved the mussels and the atmosphere. Awesome service for an unexpected party of 17. Handled it gracefully, and I will be recommending Doc's to my friends headed to Sanibel.

Grab a glass of fine rum and Roasted Half-Chicken with a Cuban Chimichurri Sauce . Slow roasted chicken served over a potato hash with onions , mildest amazon peppers and panama-style chorizo sauce.

Very nice, great food. Good atmosphere, the rum made us feel like a pirate. Jim was great!

Everything was excellent. I've read everything Randy Wayne White has written in the last 15 years, so "Doc Ford" is like an old friend. If only his popularity had not ramped up the crowds!

Great ambiance and friendly staff . You have to try the Yucatan shrimp !!

Try the Cedar Plank Salmon - Freshly Cut Salmon Filet Topped With A Mango Chipotle Glaze, Served With Au Gratin Potatoes , Wilted Spinach And Caramelized Mushrooms - WOW!

I love the Dinkins Bay Boil for the shrimp . It’s Old Bay and butter. Ask for extra bread for dipping .

Must get the: Yucatan Shrimp : Steamed shrimp in a dressing of real butter, mild colombian chilies, fresh cilantro and key lime juice .

A favorite of the island . There are so many great options, but the shrimp tacos might be my favorite!

Fish sandwich is the best here. Great clam chowder . Tuna app was yummy. Don't recommend hurricane Allie rum drink--too sweet.

The shrimp and grits were very good. They also have several craft beers on tap .

The fish tacos were terrific and we also enjoyed the selection of local beers .

The chicken tortilla soup was yummy, and the grouper was a good dish to split with my dining companion.

Large, delicious servings. Don't expect to walk out without a box! I highly recommend the Dark and Stormy .

Saw the review for Shrimp and a Mojito . It was an experience! Want to go back!

If you love Snapper , you gotta try the banana leaf snapper entree! It's excellent!!! :)

Yucatan shrimp were legendary! Authentic , quality restaurant . May need bug spray if eating outdoors.

Grilled caribbean jerked mahi mahi sandwich is great. Grouper is good. Seared tuna is good...god food overall

Food is really good. The new location is nice.

Had Yucatan shrimp , crab cakes , and the fish sandwich -- all delicious.

Perfection: a mojito & an order of the Yucatan shrimp

Crab cake appetizer is amazing. Mojitos and specialty drinks are excellent.

Waitress was rude. Mango Mojitos were good but skimpy on the alcohol . The Yucatan shrimp tacos were delicious, but only 2 tacos and rice and beans for $15?! Insane.

Fish tacos Yucatan shrimp were the bombs. Def hit the spot.

The service was great and the food very delicious.

Service was on point. Blackened grouper sammich is bomb dot com

Great steamed mussels .. lots if bread to sop up all the great sauce!!!

The Snapper steamed in a banana leaf is delicious.

Clam Chowder was too thick. My cedar plank salmon was okay. Steak and the mahi mahi with rice were much better choices

Food was decent, we liked the Yucatan shrimp like everyone else but we also enjoyed the BBQ sauce on the ribs . What ruined the experience for us was that our food was served cold

The place and the servers and pretty nice

Great shirts and cool Mojito glasses to purchase!

Paella is great. Try the 3 sauces on the table.

Sanibel's Local Sports Bar . Enjoy a beer and the yucatan shrimp .

Get the mussels and bread to sop u p all the great sauce!!!

Fantastic fish tacos ! Large chunks of real fish yummo

Yukatan shrimp are the BEST!

Great atmosphere & really nice to eat outdoors

Great rum drinks , of course!

Weak drinks but great stone crab claws . Skip the standard mustard sauce and ask for extra yucatan sauce . (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Nachos were excellent!!!

Steak sandwich is very good & very different.
