    Cheeburger Sanibel is a great family-friendly restaurant that everyone will love. Retro vibes, casual dining, and a huge milkshake menu with fantastic service.

    We love having lunch at Cheeburger after spending the morning shelling. The airconditioning feels so good, a cold milkshake tastes unbelievable after being out in the sun, and the atmosphere is so much fun.
