Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in North Captiva Island

"Plates full of oysters, shrimp baskets, bbq-soaked ribs, thick-cut French fries, and so much more line up the tables at this bar and restaurant. Order a drink in a very Florida mason jar. Mojitos and daiquiris are the two most popular, but there’s a full rum bar for you to let loose."

"The Island Cow has perhaps one of the most extensive menu on Sanibel Island. You can enjoy a Loaded Seafood Omelet or Pigs In a Blanket Pancakes for breakfast while you lounge in the comfortable outdoor seating and sip fresh mimosas. You can try the Tuna Oh Luna or the Blackened Mahi Tacos for lunch as you listen to the live entertainment."

"When you drive up to "The Cow" as locals call it, it feels and looks like you're arriving at a friend's house for coffee, Starbucks; that's the brand they brew. The Cow is light and airy inside with lots of casual, outdoor seating as well. The menu looks like the morning paper and it reads delicious."
