    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's just a bar. If you want to go to a bar that's just a bar. Go to Doc's. You will enjoy it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a bar tender named Bamma. He was great. But, no tap.

    Doc's Bar was the highlight of my night in Tybee Island. Doc's is the oldest bar on the island established in 1948. It is absolutely a dive, but the bar was clean and the service was great! What I loved the most about Doc's were the jello shots. I saw a sign outside advertising $2, jello shots and that's what brought me through the front door. Some regulars quickly started chatting with me and made me feel right at home. One regular told me there was a good band playing that night and that I should come back and check it out. My niece and I visited several other bars near the beach that night, but we came back to Doc's several times for more jello shots LOL. And the regular was right, the band was awesome! Back to the jello shots. My niece and I quickly realized jello shots are a thing in Tybee Island. All of the local bars sell jello shots. We tried them in one other bar as they were giving everyone a free one when you came in the door. But no one could top Doc's! My favorites were the pineapple and lime! You must try them! Doc's does not sell food but they will give you some trail mix if you ask. And the regulars told me you can bring food in and eat it as they don't mind.

    Got a double jack and coke here before the ghost tour, it was super strong. Quick solid bang for the buck if you are just stopping by!

Outdoor bar featured live music, which if you were dining on outside deck, you could also enjoy. We have been to Tybee many times, and I have to say..this is one of the best atmosphere's and quality meals we have ever had. Not your typical beach restaurant. Better! Absolutely adding to our rotation for future visits! PS they don't take reservations. Large place, you won't wait too long and it's worth it. We had our fill of outside time, so opted for indoors (same amazing oceanview & AC!) Had a great table by the window, could see the ocean. Our server Jenna H. was witty, attentive and had excellent menu recommendations. They were out of wings, and she suggested chicken tenders that she would have them baste in the wing sauce. Creative solution! The chip trio app is great with salsa, queso & guacamole. We enjoyed very much Asked about the fish & chips, and she said it was one of the most popular menu items because it was excellent. She was right! Our drinks were always full. 4 people in our party, had alot of different dinner options and shared. We loved them all. Fried Seafood platter generous portion, wedge salad, poke bowl, and the chicken tenders. Everyone was pleased with selections Save room for dessert. Outstanding. The caramel corn & pretzel cheesecake was unique & so tasty with the sweet & salty combo. Chocolate lava cake was delicious also. Loved it here.

We didn't stay and eat in restaurant, but it wasn't too loud or cramped when we picked it up. The server over the phone misheard me a lot and got a few things wrong with our order, but they were very small and not super consequential. The shrimp was yummy but I wish the seasoning hadn't all been on the outside of the shell. But everything was well made and we ate it up so quickly!

    Everyone was really friendly both nights I went…read more It was in the slow season so I was the only one that was in there around 9:30pm. I got my food to go and it really good. The wings are nice and big and the nachos are really good. It's walking distance from the admiral hotel and you can walk down to the beach. Honestly I would go back just because for the service.

    What's a summer vacay without a little daiquiri or three? It's been a long time since I've been to…read moreWet Willie's but when we saw that it wasn't far from our Airbnb, we decided to head on over. This Wet Willie's isn't far from the beach and sits on the little Tybee Island strip. There were two other parties sitting and eating when we entered, so we just fell in line at another table. Only two of us were drinking so we headed to the bar. The young guy helping us wasn't super helpful, to be honest lol he seemed a little annoyed that we were asking questions and digging into the menu. When we asked questions, he answered but I would have loved to hear his favorites or any sort of recommendations. I opted for a combo that was super ugly but it worked! I was surprised that they also had food on the menu. If they offered food at other Wet Willie's that I've visited, I do not remember lol. This menu included some classic favorites such as wings, tacos and quesadillas. We tried all of the above as well as their sliders. The food was actually good. Maybe not Michelin star ready, but tasty! I appreciated that a gentleman, (who I assume is the manager) came by each table checking in on us and our experience. That always takes an experience to another level for me, so appreciated!

    During my trip to Tybee I decided to head on into Fannies to have some solo time during a family…read morevacay. (I'm a new mom, we always need some solo time)! Fannie's is a huge, 2-story restaurant with so much space right at the edge of the beach. It just calls out to you! So I headed on in. I let a woman at the door know that I wanted to sit upstairs and she directed me to the stairwell on the side of the building. I went up and came across their spacious upper dining room and deck which looked right out on the beach and boardwalk. Such a great oceanside vibe! As soon as I walked up I was greeted by a gentleman who seemed to be a manager of sorts. He guided me over to a table on the deck and left me with a menu. I appreciate not having to sit around looking crazy! Soon, a waitress named Nicki came over to help me. She was a sweetheart! During my visit I had their steamed oysters, rib plate and the frozen lemonade. The steamed oysters were a bittt overcooked but they worked! The ribs were superrr tender but I wish they had some more meat on them, but I was surprised at how tender they were. The frozen lemonade was delicious and super refreshing! I just don't feel like there was enough liquor in it, and I'm not even one to like too much liquor. All in all, a basic experience when it comes to food, but I was really impressed with the level of service I received, the timeliness of my order and the overall vibe of the restaurant. I'd go back if I'm ever on Tybee again!
