Each year when I visit Sanibel we HAVE to get the crunchy grouper sandwich here. Its delicious!!!!!!! But this year - we got the sandwich and the Tilefish. I never had Tilefish. Asked our friendly waitress-said it was fresh..its very good. Mild, not fishy and no bones. We got it & LOVED IT! Great staff, yummy food - keeps me... More

Timbers never disappoints. The food was tasty, and a great value. They include bread, salad or soup, veggies, potato choice and the main entree. Seafood is always fresh.

What is better than looking around at the fresh fish and pick out something you like? The personel was friendly and knowledgeable about the fish, the fish was delicious and the smoked fish sallad was so good that we bought some to take home with us. Nice place.

The meal started with the best bread that we think we have ever had in a restaurant. Our entrees were soooo delicious and so was the clam chowder. The service was some of the best that we have ever had. Our first visit was such a pleasant experience that we went back a second time during our stay.

It was our first time visiting the island and went there to try the crunchy grouper. It was indeed good but the clam chowder soup and crunchy shrimp were even better (they offer a combo plate so you can try both). Service was good and variety of kids meals were offered as well.

We were recommended by the locals to go to Timbers and we were so happy we did! Best meal we had the whole week. The service was exceptional. Our server was Sarita (Sara) and she was a true professional and excellent at her job. You can deliver an experience as a server or you can simply be an order taker... More

We enjoyed our meal at Timbers. Our family all ordered their $13 early bird specials and were very pleased with the portion sizes and quality of their food. We ordered salmon, shrimp and chicken and everything was fantastic.

The Timbers is known for their crunchy grouper and shrimp. It's a must have if you life either shrimp or grouper, or just get the combo. Awesome!
