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. The menu in long and varied, offering everything from pasta and chicken to fresh seafood and spicy barbecue - so there's something for everyone.

On vacation and have eaten there for both dinner and breakfast in past three days. Tonight we went in for dessert and were told we could not just have dessert. We were asked to leave after being seated. We offered to sit outside as is was not busy and were told we couldn't sit there either. We will not be back! 

Business response:

Hi Christianna, we're surprised to hear about this. If you would like to continue to discuss your experience, please send us a DM. Thank you.

I loved this place and have ate there several times. I have always recommended this to others. However, I was given a seat and they had served our muffins and was told we had to move. We had to go outside and wait. I have tried many items on their menu and was very disappointed with the steak sandwich. The whole group was disappointed with their selections. Will take the off of our favorites list 

Business response:

Hi Kim, we're sorry you felt that your experience with us this time around was subpar. From food to seating, we do everything possible to accommodate our customers. In the future, if your meal does not meet your standards, please let your server or a manager know and we will most definitely work with you to correct the issue. We did apologize to your party for the inconvenience in person and we hope that you will decide to give us another chance next time you are on the island.

We went to the restaurant on Monday October 23, 2017. We were seated at a table for at least 5 minutes with bread on the table. Then told to get up and go back outside to wait for another table because they had a large party to seat and we would not be finished eating in time. One of the waitresses, named Amy, made very rude comments to us. We were finally seated at another table. Our food was not very good. Then our group of 7 was given 2 pieces of key lime pie for our inconvenience. We make 2-3 trips a year to Sanibel and ... read more

Use to love the place and recommended it to numerous people. We were seated at table for 5 minutes, and was then asked to get up and wait for another table. Everyone had a real bad attitude, will not be going back!!
