Sunset Chicken Cape Coral | Our Story

A Family Legacy on Every Plate

From our signature chicken tenders and handcrafted sandwiches to fresh lemonade, sweet tea, and family meals, Sunset Chicken serves fresh flavor for every occasion. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or feeding the whole family, every meal is made fresh and served with genuine hospitality.
From Marco Island to Cape Coral

From Marco Island to Cape Coral

Sunset Chicken began with a simple vision: create a place where guests could enjoy fresh, high-quality chicken in a welcoming environment. Mike and Iris Mayer opened their first location on Marco Island, earning loyal customers with hand-battered chicken tenders, crispy fries, buttery Texas toast, and signature sauces. What started as a neighborhood favorite has grown into a brand built on quality, consistency, and community.
Serving Fresh Flavor Every Day

Serving Fresh Flavor Every Day

Quality isn't just part of what we do—it's the foundation of every meal we serve. Every chicken tender starts with premium chicken, marinated for 24 hours, hand-battered by hand, and cooked fresh to order. As Sunset Chicken evolved from Island Chicken, the new name reflected the warmth, hospitality, and unforgettable moments shared around great food.

Today, Sunset Chicken continues to serve Cape Coral with the same values that inspired our beginning: faith, family, fresh food, and friendly service. Every meal is prepared with care because we believe quality should never be rushed. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, ordering dinner for the family, or visiting us for the first time, you'll always be welcomed with fresh food and a smile.
