He fell, bleeding everywhere (sober by the way) and the staff and management team HID inside during this fiasco while retired 80 year old firemen tried to bring him back to safety. I walk inside for a bag of ice and hear the manager/owner/whoever is on the clock saying "what do they expect sitting that close to the edge of the patio" and "crap, what do you think they are gonna do about this?"- last I checked, we didn't place their tables in their establishment and if they were worried about retaliation, maybe a staff member should have checked on us. Instead - not one staff member, owner, manager, asked if he was okay. We were all immediately given our tabs to avoid confrontation and they ushered us out as soon as possible to hope to avoid conflict. Glad this staff and owner care about their community. I expect more. Don't EVER give this establishment your money - and if you do, be sure To sit inside JUST IN CASE.

Mission accomplished. Lighthouse Waterfront is huge with a big dining rm on one side and another section closer to the left overlooking the outdoor deck sitting right on the water. If you're chasing sunset vibes, this deck is where it's at. We started with a dozen meaty oysters and a hot crab dip with crispy wontons to dip. For our main plates, hubs ordered the thick-cut bone-in pork chop and loved it while I went with the seasoned grilled swordfish. I had the Dubai Chocolate cocktail and I'll give them props for that pistachio rim and the dark chocolate drizzle.....that Hershey's syrup crap. The only downside was it could've packed a punch. But then again- between my recent trip to Miami/Ft Lauderdale and now Sanibel...I haven't had a drink that would know the shit out me here. No offense. Anyhow, to wrap things up, we shared a slice of key lime pie. That's basically mandatory when you're down here. It was good, but honestly, the real treat was watching that Sanibel sunset. Service was ok- I just wished our young server was more present. On the plus side, when he'd showed up, he made sure to help at any given moment. We finished dinner, headed out to the deck and soaked in every second of the sunset before making our way to catch the fireworks elsewhere.

Keeping my two stars for my review because they don't tell you there's a "packaging" fee when you…read moreorder takeout (or pickup). But the meal itself is worth 3 stars. This is the third time I've been to this restaurant for a pickup and the first time I've really looked at the receipt. It was always odd that there was an extra line item that said "packaging" and had a weird amount. Thinking it was a charge for utensils, I thought that Rib City was just trying to recoup some money for not having you stay and eat. Ordering this afternoon, April 15, 2025, we specifically said (on the phone) "we do not need any plastic ware. Please do not put that on the bill. Do not give us any forks, knives or spoons". There was no comment from the person taking our order about the request. With that silence, we placed an R.I.B Rewards member order of "Buy a rack of baby back ribs, get a rack of baby back ribs - free". Telling the hostess on the phone our sides, we finally got a response and were told it was going to be over $40, "but the discount will come off for the second ribs when you come in and pay". She couldn't tell us what the out the door price was because the computer wouldn't let her until we showed up. Once we got there, the meals were already packaged in a bag and waiting for us on a table, even though we were told it'll be ready in "20 minutes" (it was about 15 since hanging up). The final price was $22.49 and it felt weird because that's a lot of local tax. Upon getting home and looking at the receipt, they charged $0.60 per meal as a "packaging" fee. No utensils were in the bag or in the boxes. Apparently they do a to go charge for every box they put together on one order, regardless of having utensils. So our added charge was $1.20. I know a lot of restaurants tack on fees for takeout orders, but somewhere it needs to be noted that Rib City does this. If they're not going to tell you (or correct you when you state you don't want the charge) on the phone when you place an order, then it needs to appear somewhere that someone can read it. All that crazy, the meal was massive. One order was a baked potato and slaw as the two sides while the other order had double fries. If anything is to be said about the cole slaw, it's that they seemed to have gotten a little bigger serving size in the meal and was better than the last time. The regret really was that the person should have gotten two baked potatoes because they saved one rack for another meal, and "it would have been nice to have another potato" [with it]. The order with the double fries, at first glance, looked like one serving. But after digging around in the order and seeing how much food really was there, there was enough for a second order. Both my ribs and the other ribs were "fall off the bone" good, as advertised. However, I did feel the need to utilize the extra sauce that came with the meal. If you're looking to take home a meal and share, go for the full rack and get two different sides - one for each person. However, be prepared that you're going to pay for the meal, for the tax and for the privilege of taking it home. It had to be said.

The food was absolutely delightful and extremely reasonable for the quality. The new ceiling prevents any noise which is a plus compared to many other really nice restaurants in the area.
