We tried Bernies due to proximity and reviews on trip advisor.we sat on the patio; pretty run down. I ordered crab bisque and steamed platter. Wife ordered fried platter. The bisque was the highlight of the meal; it had good flavor. Everything else was plain jane. There was no flavor seasoning added to any of the seafood. We like seasoning... More

This was our first time dining at Bernie's. the restaurant was very clean and did not have that smokey smell some other places have. The service was knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. The food was very good. Will definitely add this to our favorite restaurants on Tybee.

Since April and May, we've been here 5 times. Every time we come, the oysters have a fresh & good taste to them! I haven't had a problem yet (from this location)! When it was hot, the doors were closed and I'm assuming the AC was turned on. I like the Margaritas on the Rocks w/ salt from here. Sometimes... More

You'd think some effort would be made to serve quality raw oysters at an "Oyster House." Not here. Same old plain, skinny Florida oysters. No flavor, a real disappointment. On the other hand, if you are looking for a cold beer in a most definite "island" establishment, you will like this place. It's right on the main drag, indoor and... More

Killer crab bisque, awesome hush puppies, super-fresh shrimp, and a kid-friendly waitress. Can't beat that.

I've had shrimp tacos, I've had fish tacos, but I'd never had fried oyster tacos until the waitress suggested them. It's now one of my husband and my favorite takeout dinners. Two large tacos (if they weren't so good you could actually split an order between two people).

Another new place we tried on vacation was Bernie's Oyster House. It's located on the strip near the pier and between the souvenir shops. One reason we chose Bernie's is because the only parking space we found was directly in front of it, so we figured "why not". We had the Bloody Mary's which are touted as "the best on... More

Food was good, prices were good. The service was lacking. We went on Easter Sunday. Nothing special. We had a hard time getting drinks refilled. Had to get up and ask for a to go container. The waitress never checked back on our party of 8!!!

Cool atmosphere. SLOW service, especially considering we were one of 2 tables in the place. Food was decent. Parents love Oysters, so we tagged along. Nice locale tho.
