    Midwest style deep fried pork tenderloin. Excellent!
    Craig K.

    Love this place and we've been a few times. The food is always fresh and delicious. They have a full bar and the prices are reasonable. They specialize in seafood but I tried the deep fried pork tenderloin. I'm from Indiana and know my tenderloins. This one is smaller in size but the flavor and texture is spot on. Highly recommend!

    As longtime Sanibel regulars, we have a short list of must-stops, and Lazy Flamingo is always on it. The moment you walk through the door, it flips you straight into island mode--casual, comfortable, and exactly what you want on vacation. Hard to believe they only reopened a few months ago after Hurricane Ian. The timing of our trip couldn't have been better. Call us creatures of habit, but we keep coming back for the same two things: the wings and the peel-and-eat shrimp. In our opinion, the best on the island. The menu has plenty of other great options--fish tacos, oysters, you name it--but we stick with what we love. Friendly servers, quick service, fair prices...it all makes Lazy Flamingo an easy choice. And showing up in the off-season? Even better. No line, no wait, just good food and that laid-back Sanibel vibe.

    Fun spot for a lunch! Servers and friendly and our food came out very fast! Everything was delicious and we portions are nice size. Their fries are yummy! Fried grouper was good, moist and flaky inside not too fishy although batter was a bit thick but over all it was very tasty.

    Always been one of our favorite places on the island and due to the hurricane it was still closed last year. Needless to say we were so happy to find it open in 2025. The island is still recovering so less people here than before so they are open for linch until 4 pm and only on Thursday -Saturday are they open till 8 pm. I'm sure but next year it will be back to normal schedule. As to food service etc. all the same it's always been excellent . My prior review stands. I love this island and this place is part of that.

    Excellent oysters. Fresh and sweet and briney.

    This place is the bomb. Great atmosphere. Service with smiles. I had raw oysters which were excellent then grouper tacos were delicious. Hubby had the clam chowder out of this world and the grilled grouper. He has had grouper lots of places and this was the best he's ever had ever. We will return for sure!

    I ordered the grouper platter. It came with fries and slaw. The grouper was fresh and nicely seasoned. Delicious

    I have been going to Grama Dots since 1987. Wonderful spot. I was just there in May of 26. Food and…read moreservice was excellent. The question i have is why did the new owners remove all of the bar stools? It is uncomfortable for a single person to come in and sit alone at a table for two or four.

    As good as it gets, & our best meal & drinks on the island!…read more We had expert server Nick & were so happy with him! He was extremely personable, fun, & sooo efficient at his job! He treated us like family, & took such good care of us. We started with cocktails: Miami Vice, Pina Colada, & a Pain Killer at Nicks suggestion. They were all delicious. Next up shared appetizers of smoked fish dip & crab cakes. I usually dislike crab cakes, but I wanted to eat all of them. The smoked fish dip was delicious too & whoever thought of frying the saltines is a genius! For our meals we each got a lunch for dinner platter which was plenty of food with the accompanying house made chips & super ripe fruit. Two of us got the coconut shrimp. They were large, fresh & delicious, very heavy on the batter. The pineapple dipping sauce was perfect with them. Two in our party got salmon & said it was excellent. They ate every bite of it. One of us devoured his lobster roll with great enjoyment. The only non- seafood eater had what he described as a really good burger. He's like Mikey from Life cereal, he hates everything...so that's very high praise for the burger. For dessert we shared both the chocolate cake & key lime pie. I usually don't like Key Lime pie because it's almost always too sweet. But theirs is amazing. Dense, creamy & very tangy, with grated lime zest all throughout the pie. The cake was delicious too. There wasn't a bite of anything left. The ambience is great. Very nautical with lovely views. The exterior is very pretty, & inside it is cozy, casual & approachable. The a/c works really well too. The servers were all cheerful & the other diners seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was such a great overall experience. Highly recommend!
