Best breakfast on the island, and they really do mean it!! The breakfast tacos were delicious, honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. The biscuits and gravy were great too, with a nice homemade gravy that really stood out. I also had the cranberry raisin waffle, which was a daily special. They offer rotating specials, and both of our entrées happened to be on the special menu! The coffee and juices were fresh, the service was warm and friendly, and the atmosphere felt cozy and homey. I would definitely come back!!

This little diner was absolutely delicious! The food came out so fast and we devoured it immediately. Only thing is the white toast was so good we ordered an extra side and the pieces were itty bitty... I wanted more again 😭 But really this place is well priced, good service and quick to serve!

My boyfriend & I absolutely loved Lighthouse Cafe! The food was delicious & great portion sizes. We had supper one night & breakfast a couple days later. Both meals were absolutely amzing! We both had burgers for supper, they were very filling and seasoned perfectly. For breakfast I had the Denver Omelet which was one of the best ones I've ever had at a restaurant. He had the blueberry hotcakes with bacon. The blueberry sauce was amazingly delicious. Everything was just perfect! Our waitress Lisa, when we had supper, was very pleasant & funny! She was such a joy to have as our waitress. We did not catch our waitresses name when we had breakfast but she was great too! Dan ( I think) was great both times! We enjoyed the little bit of conversation with him both times! Everyone was very friend

Hands down your best bet for an excellent meal. I think most people tend to try a new restaurants as they're traveling, but once we found the lighthouse, we went there for every meal. Breakfast and lunch and dinner were all fabulous 👌

Lighthouse Cafe in Sanibel is absolutely outstanding! The food was incredible and the service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The salmon was hands down the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and really care about every dish that leaves the kitchen. If you’re in Sanibel and want amazing food with top-notch service, Lighthouse Cafe is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!
