The atmosphere alone makes it worth checking out. I've been twice now, and the first visit was so good that I brought friends back the second time. The first time, I had the white hot chicken special, which was crispy, flavorful, and really well done. I also got a coffee, which was solid. I would've ordered it again on my second visit, but they were out of espresso and only had decaf available. The food on the second visit was still good, just not quite as strong as the first time. The staff has been consistently friendly on both visits, which I appreciated. That said, there were a couple of service hiccups each time, our food was brought out without silverware, and when we were told there was a table ready outside, there wasn't anyone available to direct us to it, so we had to guess and hope we weren't taking the wrong table. Food timing can also be a bit slow, so it's worth planning ahead if you have somewhere to be afterward. Overall, it's a really enjoyable brunch spot with great views and a fun atmosphere, just with a few service details that could be smoothed out.

New in the sense of a new location after the former one was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in 2022. One thing remains though is the good food and friendly people who work here. I ordered one of their "specials" - the Mahi sandwich (blackened, tyvm) where fries and cole slaw came with it. The sandwich was very good and the Cole slaw was tasty. I'm not much of a fries person but the one I had was pretty good too. There's booth and table seating inside as well as table seating outdoors on the patio. There's a lot of lighthouse pictures that adorn the walls. I love old lighthouses so I really enjoyed looking at them. I like the new setting, the good food, and the polite and friendly atmosphere. I recommend you check this place out!

If you're looking for breakfast on Sanibel, Lighthouse Cafe absolutely deserves a visit. We love…read morebreakfast, and after trying so many places over the years, it can start to feel like every menu offers the same dishes prepared the same way. Lighthouse Cafe managed to make a classic breakfast memorable. We ordered the French toast, and the portion was huge and easy to split. More importantly, it was absolutely delicious. The eggs we ordered were cooked exactly as needed, the bacon was perfectly crisp, and the cheese grits were rich, creamy, and full of flavor. We literally cleaned our plates and ate every bite despite our intentions to simple stop by for a taste. One of the biggest surprises was adding fish to breakfast. It's not something I would have ever thought to eat for breakfast, but it ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. The fish was incredibly tender and paired surprisingly well with the rest of the meal. It was such a unique addition that it changed the way I think about breakfast. We intentionally ordered some standard breakfast items because we believe that's the best way to judge a breakfast restaurant. If a place can make the classics exceptionally well, that's usually a great sign. Lighthouse Cafe exceeded our expectations across the board with their delicious plates and service. Not to mention it is nice to visit a locally owned restaurant whose owner is present and working alongside their staff. From the quality of the food to the generous portions, everything was excellent. If you're on Sanibel and want a breakfast that goes beyond the ordinary while still nailing all the classics, Lighthouse Cafe is a great place to visit.

The owner took time to speak with us and shared some of the difficulties experienced after the hurricane in 2024. We were both so hungry we forgot to take photos of our food, but I had the special French toast breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg and cheese, and these amazing potatoes with a wonderful seasoning, and hubby has the biscuit and sausage gravy, eggs and those same potatoes. They were so busy we didn't mention that the gravy was Luke warm! The waitress had her hands full with a woman at a table that complained about the poached eggs being too done. So when the server offered to make new (without taking the ones she complained about which I would have done) proceeded to give the too done eggs to her husband (who had only ordered a bagel) They probably have perfected this scam

I was excited about everything about over easy café from the location, ambience, dog, friendly…read morenature and overall aesthetics. Unfortunately, that excitement faded as soon as we sat down. I know people love this place. I wanted to love this place. Our waitress was fine, just fine a little lackluster, but she got the job done. Here's what we ordered for three of us: cinnamon roll, the shrimp omelette, something like the veggie omelette, and eggs Benedict. We also had a side of corned beef hash, and one of us had a coffee. The shrimp omelette was flavorless. It came with a side of hollandaise sauce, which unfortunately was so gelatinized that it kind of was like pudding but thicker. The coffee was so weak. My companion didn't even want a refill. The cinnamon roll had no lovely layer of the cinnamon butter sugar mixture that normally is in a cinnamon roll. To boot it felt like it was microwaved because the bread was hard and Chewy. It was difficult for us to even cut through it. My eggs Benedict had that same gelatinized hollandaise sauce on it there was no zing from the lemon that should have been in there. Now this is my favorite breakfast meal, and I generally devour the entire dish: unfortunately in this case, I left the entire other half with the dark, heavy congealed hollandaise sauce. Hollandaise sauce should not be so thick it doesn't move. The corned beef hash was yummy. Thankfully. The other omelette was fine but just fine; rather flavorless and watery due to the vegetables in it. The potatoes were fine just not my preference for potatoes. In my opinion, our waitress should have seen the vast majority of food left over on our table and asked us what was up. I would have loved to tell her, but I didn't want it to seem like it was just a bunch of complaints. It's just amazing how every single item except for the corned beef hash fell short. Hopefully the owners read this. But maybe I am just an anomaly in guests here as people love this place.

It's a place directly in the sand on the beach, so you're going to pay for that. The tables are in the sand (which I loved), and had shade. They do have porta potties in front of the food truck; the one I used was very clean and dry. Nice place for some beach people watching.
