Stevens Construction is building a 5,754-square-foot restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining, and a commercial kitchen with a walk-in cooler and freezer. To complement the Sanibel location, The Island Cow will feature Florida-style details such as a metal roof with a thatched roof entryway, outdoor tiki bar, indoor/outdoor bar and vibrant colors. The new The Island Cow is 1,000-square-foot larger than the original building that perished in an after-hours fire in 2022.
