Doc Ford is tropical adventurer who has spent a lot of time in the same far flung countries that I wrote about when I was a monthly columnist for places such as Cuba, Cambodia, South Africa, Australia, Vietnam, Borneo, and all over South and Central America. It was while traveling for Outside and other magazines I came to know and love the superb cuisine of the rural tropics.
I loved the sauces, the spices, and the passion that went into the food preparation. We hope that spirit is part of Doc Ford’s Sanibel Rum Bar and Grille, too.

Been a few times. Twice service was horrible. Food is average compared to surrounding restaurants. The last time there service was better. Inside is beyond noisy. It’s also packed with people like a crowed elevator. If you’re concerned about crowds I wouldn’t go there they pack them in so tight. The noise level is probably the worst of any restaurant I’ve ever been in. The ambience outside is OK when the music is good. I’m not sure why this place gets such high ratings there are much better places close by

The first time going here in July, the food and service were absolutely phenomenal, hence, us going there again. However, this time was different. The food was bland, the chicken in my salad was hard. My husband's roasted chicken was so dry, he had to put bbq sauce on it to swallow it. The waiter was cool when we asked him to take a pic of us after eating but other then that, service was terrible. Guy looked like he was over life. Like he didn't want to be there. We kept having to ask him for water, and I waited 10 minutes for dressing after having to ask for it because he didn't ask if I wanted any. We will not be going back after this.

Food was just OK compared to other Doc Ford’s we have been to. We were seated next to a table of what can only be described as a table of drunks on a full day bender. We were moved when request and the server was very apologetic about the situation. Seems the serving sizes are being cut back but still plenty of food. We were there for 1 1/2 hours having a good time, the bender table, still there when we left and just as loud as ever!

The occasion was my wife's birthday, It was just starting to get busy but only had to wait a few moments to be seated. We had requested window view seating and we were accommodated. Bryan our waiter greeted us immediately and gave us time to decide on drinks and an appetizer. Once our drinks and appetizer arrived he took dinner order. Bryan checked in on us a few times allowing us ample 'quiet' time Our experience as a Solid Five Star. Thank you for serving us, Howard & Charlene

Great casual restaurant on the pier in St. Pete's. The outside seating has wonderful views of the ocean. The food was very good overall and there is a wide variety of drink/cocktail options however a little pricey. The atmosphere is very lively and can be noisy so not a good place if your looking for a quiet dinner. Overall a great place for food, atmosphere and water views.

Shane was a charming and attentive server. We had great seats on the outside balcony. My mussels appetizer was average; the sauce was good but lukewarm and the bread was nothing extraordinary. Fortunately, the mussels were not overdone. The view of the harbor and bay were fantastic on a beautiful day, which were the tipping points contributing to a fantastic experience at Doc Ford’s at St. Pete’s Pier.

Our table was outside as I requested. If the hostess wasn't so rude it would have been a 5-star review. All we asked was if the table was in the shade? She replied back as though we should have asked for shade when we made the reservations. The table was near the band, and in the sunny area, so we decided to wait another 15 mins for a better table in the shade and further away from the band. ( now you know when making reservations be overly detailed about the type of table and where you want to be seated) Our waitress was delightful, Iris couldn't have made us feel more taken care of. We are locals here so we will be back.
