🏝️ Local Tip
Worth choosing if you want an updated east-end option; it also matters as part of the island's post-disaster restaurant comeback story.
Hurricane Ian Recovery
Opened after two separate disasters reshaped the local dining scene: Island Cow was destroyed by fire in August 2022 and Mad Hatter was lost to Hurricane Ian. Wickies opened on Sanibel's east end in 2024.
