“GREAT TIME!! My wife and I just visited Tybee Island for the first time a couple of weeks ago. This bar served as our go to spot. Sometimes twice a day. Staff was MORE than friendly and drink pours were ABSOLOUTLY generous. We plan on going back in the summer and will for sure be visiting our new friends again.“

“Come to Tybee for a quick get away. Stopped Nickie's for dinner, was not disappointed!!! Our server, Lundsey was awesome, food was good, & the live music was great!!! We will definitely be back!!!“

“Amily was the best waitress we had in a long time ,food was excellent,great service“

“After a long, fun-filled day at the beach celebrating my son’s 7th birthday, we were all feeling pretty tired and hungry — and this restaurant turned out to be the perfect place to end our day. The food was absolutely fantastic — every bite was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. But what truly made our experience unforgettable was our waitress, Mandy. Mandy was simply amazing. She was incredibly warm, attentive, and personal, taking the time to make us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. She went above and beyond to help make our son’s birthday feel special, and her kindness and energy brought a smile to all of our faces — even after a long, sandy day at the beach. It’s rare to find a place where the food and the service are equally top-notch, but this restaurant nailed it. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we could come back. Huge thanks to Mandy and the whole team for making a special day even more memorable!“

“Best little bar on Tybee Island we come here every time we are in the area friendly staff and cheap beer Jell-O shot are worth the 2$.“

“We love it here! This was mine and my husband’s 5th time coming here and it was great. The environment was amazing and the atmosphere is very welcoming. This time didn’t end like we would have wanted. Our server was great except he kept calling us dudes or some other nickname that isn’t used to address women. There were 3 guys and 3 girls so dudes wasn’t the most appropriate name to call us when trying to get our attention. As the night went on service was still good but then was time for the check. We asked our server for our check but no check was given to us, just a total (which was $50). We gave him $61 and told him to keep the change. We started thinking about how there was no way 8 beers and an $8 nachos costed that much (we ate 2 nights ago with family and all 5 of us ate and had 1 beer for $54). After confronting our server asking for a receipt, we got some attitude (like he knew he had been caught, and he was). After waiting to get the receipt it never came. He then sat down and showed me his notes. He lied and added things that we didn’t order trying to get more money out of us not knowing we have been there several times. After going back and forth on him being wrong and charging us too much, I said if every beer was $4 (which they are cheaper than that) or bill would be $40. He looked at his notepad nervously and said you’re right it’s $40, again lying and not actually knowing what it costs. He didn’t know where he messed up or what we actually had. Once we settled on $40 because I was tired of arguing, he brought me $10 assuming he still got an $11 tip. I left it and just said I hope he doesn’t do this to other people and understands how to be honest so he can keep my $11. Hoping to have this be a lesson for him. This was very frustrating because 1, don’t steal from customers and try to play it off (which he was and that’s why he was shaking and stumbling on words nervously when he got caught) and 2, don’t steal from your company. Overall, I highly recommend this place. We just won’t ever have him as a server again. I wish we knew our got his name, but we didn’t!“

“Walked in and people were smoking at the bar. Nasty smell so we walked out.“

“The gentleman at the hosting and seating you is super nice gentlemen, the lady waitress very nice took order. God bless and many happinesses very good food definitely stop by.“

“Sarah was our bar tender and she was amazing! Always friendly and the drinks were great! She can make anything you like! 10/10 recommend!“

“After a long 5-hour haul from Atlanta, we rolled onto Tybee craving one thing: fresh oysters. With “oysters” in the name, Bernie’s was calling our name.

Our server was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and quick to rave about their Bloody Marys. Here we go again, I thought. Another server hyping up their Bloody Marys. Let me be the judge of that.

And judge I did. Verdict? Bernie’s makes the best Bloody Marys on Tybee. Period. They use their own homemade mix—bold move, because if you’re a true Bloody Mary fanatic, house mixes can be hit or miss. But this one? Absolute hit. Packed with flavor, perfectly balanced, and worth every sip.

Pair that with a dozen fresh oysters and you’ve got the ultimate Tybee experience. As a longtime Zing Zang loyalist, I don’t say this lightly: Bernie’s, you’ve officially converted me. Hats off to you, Mr. Bernie.“

“This is a very casual place. Place your order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. I make it a point to visit every time I come to Tybee (1-2 times a year since 2021). It’s always clean and the food is delicious. The drinks are on point as well and they have free parking. We usually sit, eat, enjoy a beverage and play a game or pinball. I have a funny t-shirt I picked up a few years ago and it’s held up well. It says “This taco is not on the menu” and I usually don’t see much merch there since they moved to the current location.“

“Great atmosphere and service. The Margharita Mamacita pizza was the best we have had!!“

“We make a point to stop here any time we are in the area to enjoy the platter. Tons of food for our family to share and the service is always great (Christina was friendly, attentive, and helpful). This time we also had the bisque and hush puppies- definitely doing that again next time 😁“
