About this business

At some casual dining restaurants, customers load up on good food and good times and party 'til the cows come home. At Island Cow, the cows are always home, and there's always a party going on.

Kids will definitely be at home here, thanks to the simple cuisine and the zany staff which complements the cow-themed decor with a whole repertoire of cow-themed jokes and puns.

Busy restaurant but the queue seemed to move fairly well. It was worth the wait as the food was excellent. Plenty of it and very tasty - the special paella was so tasty and full of seafood & meat. We will be back. 

Business response:

Thanks so much for your review, Mike!

My 2 daughter’s (27 and 17) and I visited Sanibel for the first time last week and have to say The Island Cow was by far our favorite. So much so we ate there 3 times (2 dinners and 1 breakfast)! Always busy but we chose to sit at the bar each time and not only were we satisfied with our food, but Terry the bartender was just fantastic! He was friendly and accommodating!! He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and satisfied! Thanks for the best meals we had away from home! 

Business response:

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! Join us again anytime, Karen!

Disappointing. Cute place, lowsy service, skimpy portions, food so-so, toast rubbery like it sat around, expensive for what you get.

Absolutely worst dinner experience I’ve had in a long time! The shrimp is better at Outback. The “mood” was fine until the staff put out the citronella torches that were keeping out the hoards of mosquitos. We could not eat our food for slapping away the mosquitos and no-see-ums. The staff was unfazed by my suggestion that they warn the customer they will be eaten alive. No apology from staff. We weren’t the only customers on the patio but we all were victims ... try leaving the candles lit until all your customers finish th... read more

Hi Karen. We appreciate your feedback. It is our goal to keep all of our customers comfortable during their time with us. Did you speak with a manager during your visit? We do hope you'll give us a second chance. You are welcome to dine indoors if you'd prefer to completely eliminate the chance of local pests bothering you during your meal. Also, our menu is one of the largest on the island and we're sure you'll find something you'll love! We hope to see you again in the future and safe travels until then.
