    Dollar bill bar
    Hernan C.

    We came here because it's advertised as the best pizza on the island but we were pleasantly surprised to find that their chicken wings were absolutely amazing! They were crispy and delicious and came out piping hot. They were also well coated in the delicious barbecue sauce that we ordered. The place has a good atmosphere with dollar bills hung up all around the area. The pizza came out right afterwards and the service Sophia provided was excellent, but we were a little underwhelmed with the pizza dough.... we just expected it to be crunchier and better. It was a little bit chewy and my daughter said it tasted like it came.oit of the freezer Overall a cool little spot to grab some wings, a cold drink and decent pizza..... still searching for the best pie on the island though!

    I really like the setup that they have here. They have a nice outdoor patio to sit and eat your pizza. The staff inside was very nice and welcoming. Now for the pizza. This was an average pizza. It's the thickness of a ny pizza the dough is a little soft and flops when you hold it. The cheese was pretty average age didn't have a ton of flavor. The meatballs were chopped into fine purses and were probably my favorite part.

    I'm confused about the negative reviews. This place was great! Our waitress made sure our drinks were full and was very attentive. Zero complaints. We ordered a large Hogs-N-Horns and a large White Pizza. Both were great and the crust was perfect. We're excited to come back next time we're in town.

    We were going to go to traders next door but when we walked in no one acknowledged us so we decided to go next door to island pizza and it was a good choice. The people were really nice. The pizza was amazing and it was fast. The place itself is really nice.

    I feel bad giving a sub par review because there was no bad experience. We got an extra large pizza with sausage for takeout. Honestly it tasted like a frozen pizza. The sausage was chopped into tiny pieces and had that frozen taste, the crust was chewy with lots of flour, and the cheese was eh.. It was a bit below average but not awful. Great service, great price, but below average pizza.

    The best pizza and wings on the island! You have to get extra Sanibel sauce to dip your pizza in. The staff are so nice!

    The crust makes the pizza and they do it well. We called in our order, it was ready on the dot and we took it to the beach nearby. Yum!

While they share a kitchen I do expect that the food may not be the same quality as Timbers next door. We had the shrimp and grouper baskets. The shrimp were over cooked and the grouper was very thin and dry. Fries were good, and the children's drink portions were large. Enjoyed the baseball memorabilia but don't think we will be back.

There's numerous tv screens to watch all the games - some booths even have their own screen. Aside from the sports decor, The Sanibel Grill has a very similar menu to Timbers Restaurant next door - I'm pretty sure the two are one and the same and share the same kitchen. I ordered the Grouper Fish tacos. You can get them blackened, fried, or grilled. I opted for fried. Note that the Sanibel Grill is known for their signature cornflake crunchy batter - but the grouper fish tacos are the lightly breaded bites and not cooked in their signature batter. The grouper was nicely cooked - tender and delicate bites. They used corn tortillas, which didn't fall to pieces while eating, but they were pretty flimsy (it was easy for a grouper bite to roll out). The tacos are served with rice pilaf topped with black beans which was on the bland side (nothing to write home about). I would've liked a hit of lime to add to my tacos, but the waitress never came back to check on us. Service is minimal. This is bar service all around. My friend ordered the combo basket (Grouper and fried shrimp) and comes with a side of fries and cole slaw. You can hear the crunch - I can see why it's their signature. My sister ordered the shrimp scampi with rice pilaf (she was hoping for pasta but that was not a side option - it's either rice pilaf or potatoes - smashed, French fried, or sweet potato fries). It also came with fresh green beans. The shrimp were nicely cooked and super buttery. She also ordered the crab bisque which was creamy and had good crab flavor, but I wouldn't say it was overloaded with crab meat. We finished the meal with a slice of Florida's signature key lime pie. The slice was small but had giant key lime flavor. It was very sweet but this was my favorite key lime pie slice from our whole trip. The Sanibel Grill gave us average food and average service. No military discount here.

After spending most of the morning and part of the afternoon on the beach, hubs was craving pizza. Me? I had my doubts. Outside of NYC, I wasn't exactly convinced Sanibel was about to serve up a killer pie. I was wrong. Because for these parts, it's tasty alright. Dante's has a unique layout with a winding staircase leading up to a circular dining area. We started with the jumbo shrimp appetizer, doused in this creamy, spicy, garlicky, Parmesany-packed sauce that was totally outstanding. Then we each ordered our own 10" individual pie. Hubs went with the pepperoni, I chose the white pizza with mushrooms, minus the prosciutto. He loved his and I enjoyed mine too- but it needed more mushrooms. As for the pizza, the base is kinda thin but not paper-thin, the crust has a light and airy rise with a crisp feel- but not like a cracker. Shout-out to our server, Julia, who was friendly and attentive. Looks like Dante's has really stepped up for good. Hope it doesn't change.

It is without question a must do, when you're here. My family and I have been coming here for many years, and it only has gotten better each time. This location has two floors of seating, more importantly two bars you can sit at. After checking in with the hostess, our wait was only about twenty minutes. Once seated at our table all of us were ready to order. For drinks we ordered two rounds I got the Dark and Stormy for both rounds(Gosling's Black Seal Rum mixed with Gosling's Ginger Beer & a squeeze of lime) my ordered a mango and coconut mojito; my sister in law ordered a rum runner. We all loved our drinks. Drinks here are always made perfect. For an appetizer we shared the calamari. The breading was light and the calamari was tender. For entrees my sister in law and I ordered the Deep Water Mahi Mahi(Hand-cut mahi-mahi seared in sweet soy sauce, placed on a jasmine rice stir fry with a tropical vinaigrette) This dish is my favorite meal here. The mahi was tender, the sweet soy sauce and the tropical vinaigrette ties everything together. My wife ordered the Yucatan Shrimp with a side of jalapeño cheese grits. She gave me two thumbs up. My father in law Grouper Sandwich (Fresh grouper grilled, blackened, or fried. Served with Doc's tartar sauce on a freshly baked roll) He ordered his fried. He loves the grouper sandwich here and usually gets it. Again, this is another place we will always comeback to.

The quality definitely slipped from that point when they moved 10 years ago. I never really understood why it continued to be such a popular spot. If you don't believe that we my previous review that's over 10 years old lol We returned for the first time since Ian 4 years ago and while the service is still very touch & go-our server seemed to be having a rough night. To be fair she had the table next to us that was like 12 seemingly college age kids who were really loud & obnoxious & who were also annoying us so maybe that's accounts for her mood. The food and drinks have really turned around. We came in the first night of our trip just to "check that it still sucks" but knowing it's an easy walk in without much of a wait in the September off-season and we were tired from all day spent in the sun & wanted it to be easy. But we were so surprised. The food was excellent. Fresh. Not clearly reheated (a common thing in the past). I asked for a mojito made with coconut rum rather than traditional rum and that kind of seemed to confuse our server. To be fore they have a coconut mojito that has a coconut cream in it but that's not what I wanted. After a bit of back & forth it came out as ordered and delicious (highly recommend trying it made this way-you'll never go back) We enjoyed our meal so much we actually went back for a midday drink and snack later that week. Unheard of for us. Had a really lovely conversation with a bartender who's been there forever about the state of things at the island. He remembered my drink order so I'm apparently notorious now lol. And once again the food orders this time was so good and fresh and hot (very hot-beware of you order fish fingers) So very pleasantly surprised! Whatever you changed in the past 4 years, keep it up! Where a lot of places seem to have gotten worse since Ian you guys improved on n a huge way and we look forward to coming back now
