"Absolutely loved Doc Ford's Rum Bar & Grille on Fort Myers Beach! Stopped in after a pirate ship cruise, and it was the perfect vibe – lively, tropical, and right on the water with that island feel. The Seared Tuna was a great starter. The Orange Ginger Shrimp was excellent, with big, perfectly cooked shrimp in a spicy sweet glaze. The Shrimp and Grits were pure comfort food. Drinks were spot-on and reasonable for FMB. Service was friendly and fast even though the place was hopping. Already planning our next visit. 5 stars all day!"
"The server was a little late getting to us. He admitted there was a messs up. Awesome place. Seating choices are great. Menu awesome. We started with crab cakes. I had their Yucatan Oysters and Yucatan Shrimp. Their sauce in the Yucatan Shrimp was killer! No wonder you get bread with it. They were delicious. I also had their special Bloody Mary, just because. The spices in this were "slap yo mama' good. And 2 more shrimp! Better half had Alaskan Fish Fingers and fries. Also delicious. Servings were awesome. Service was great. View was fantastic. And a good live band was playing. Will we be back? Oh yes!"
"We highly recommend Doc Ford’s in Ft Myers Beach, Florida. We sat outside by the water next to a heater. Our server, Austin, was outstanding. He recommended the macadamia nut crusted grouper which was delicious. We had crab cakes, peel n eat shrimp and a hamburger. With the crab cakes, we had jicama slaw was excellent. We never had jicama slaw before and were glad we tried it. Thank you Austin for making our experience memorable. We certainly will go back to Fox Fords!"
