This was the first restaurant that my husband and I ate at during our 1 week stay in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. We arrived fairly close to closing on a Sunday evening and they were extremely friendly and accommodating. We were able to sit outside next to the bay, which has a pleasant breeze and view. The first thing we... More

The location and entertainment were really good. The food was average, but the place was packed, so obviously very popular. We enjoyed listening to the band and enjoying the water views, but were disappointed with the menu items we ordered.

We ate at Nervous Nellies in June 2013. The menu was vast and a bit overwhelming ( we didn't know what to choose - there was so much!). The food we ordered was lovely and really good value. We sat outside and there was a live singer which was really nice. The server was friendly and efficient. We had a... More

The only problem I have with this place is with the toilets clean them. Those toilet seats aren't fit for Christian butt checks. Also the vegetable that they have available is corn. I asked for another veg and I was brought a burger set up.

The menu is extensive, we have never eaten somewhere with so many choices, almost overwhelming. The prices were good, anywhere from $8 to $30, with $30 meals being the most elaborate. Portion sizes are huge, so you do get a good value for the money. Location is on the bays, a short walk from the Times Square area of the... More

We had 35 people and it was raining so the regular patrons could not go on the wonderful decks and we had a great time. The food was great (everyone liked what they got) and the waiters, Rob and Mel, who were assigned to us were so on top of things. They got all the orders correct and were very... More

Followed a recommendation by the rep which proved to be spot on. Amazing seafood, kids meals were huge and good quality. Great service (helped us Brits with a lobster!) and live music.

Discovered this place at the end of Times Square - faces the bay side. The menu is beyond extensive. Service was good, drinks were good and food was excellent. This is a must if you are at Fort Myers Beach.

Menu was huge - something for everyone! Prices very reasonable! I ordered blackened mahi mahi and my husband ordered a seafood combo. Both of our dished were delicious! We wanted to go back but before we knew it our vacation was over. Fabulous atmosphere and spectacular view of the water!

THis was the BEST meal I had while in fort Myers! I had the fresh grouper sandwich (blackened) . Whenever I'm near any ocean...I always order fresh fish...this was awesome. When I told the server how good my food was, she informed me that everything is very fresh. The bread (even my bun) was freshly baked...and the sauces were all... More
