    Excellent service and food

    Best place ever. They treated my dog like royalty. Our waiter was top notch who made sure Max had plenty of water with ice cubes and they even had a dog menu with ice cream for dessert. The food for us was excellent. We had the best experience here and if I could I would give it 10 bones.

    Deserves 10 Bones

    The folks at Nervous Nellies treated our Boxers as good as they did us. Refilling their water bowl with fresh ice water 2x while we were there. They have a Dog Menu and my girls got the Salmon and loved it.
    We all enjoyed our food too. We had a great evening at Nervous Nellies and will definitely go again.

    Delicious seafood and more

    We went to Nervous Nellie's two days in a row. Both times we brought our dog Luna with us. They were very accommodating to my pup. They even have a dog menu. They brought out a dog bowl full of ice water for her too. Their human menu has a vast assortment of selections. My party of six people all ordered different items and nothing was wrong with any of it. It was all amazing and delicious. Huge portions as well. The seafood was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant if you ever find yourself in the Fort Myers Beach area. Their staff is very helpful and courteous.

    Loved everything about Nervous Nellies, and so did my fur-baby!

    Great food, they cater to dogs with a special menu, fabulous views, very tasty drinks and a wonderful staff. We also go here but once we got our dog I wasn't sure where to go. This was the best of the best my husband, my dog and me! Visit Nervous Nellies when you're in Fort Myers and bring your fur-baby. You won't be sorry!

    Fantastic!

    Nice outdoor area. Hunter got iced water as soon as we got to the table.
    Delicious food, beautiful location. Jake, our server, was fast and never let our glasses go empty. We had jambalaya, shrimp and scallops basket and the steak hamburger. Everything perfect. We highly recommend it.

    Wonderful Place & Super Dog friendly!

    We have been going to Nervous Nellies for years & absolutely LOVE the place! Beautiful waterfront views & great food. They have a menu like I have never seen before!!! It is so long that you will never be able to read the entire menu before you leave! They even have a dog menu! At times they have outdoor entertainment. I love that their entertainment is not so loud that you can't hear your own table conversations. It is just perfect background music. When we were there last they had someone going around the restaurant making balloon figures for children & adults at the tables. Everyone was enjoying that. Service has also always been very good. Lots of outdoor seating! They also have under cover seating (where the dogs are allowed to) for people who do not want to be near the sun. Their other tables closer to the water also have umbrellas that can be put up or down if needed. They even have heaters for those cooler days. Of course there is indoor seating for people who want to sit inside & who don't have dogs. I loved the fact that my dog could sit on the bench right next to us at the table. Lots of restaurants will only allow dogs if they sit on the ground under the table. These people are super dog friendly. Nervous Nellies is a wonderful place & I don't think you will be disappointed at all here! Always a wonderful experience! Can't wait to go back!

    Amazing food, amazing view, amazing service!

    I adore this place. It is right on the water and they almost always have live music. The music wasn’t too loud but it was tropical and made me feel like I was in paradise! I have a Great Pyrenees who is fairly large but they gave us a table with enough space for her to lay next to and not be tripped over by people. They brought her a water bowl and a HUGE dog biscuit. The food was amazing, service was wonderful and overall just a beautiful spot. The Rueben is delicious! Would highly recommend to bring your pups!

    Perfect Evening

    The food was delicious and the dogs were greeted with large dishes of ice water. The music was beautiful, and so were the views of the water. I would highly recommend this place whether traveling with dogs or not.

    AWESOME

    Everything about Nervous Nellies is Awesome. The food is outstanding and they treated our dogs like princesses. I didn't know this please existed until we were searching "dog friendly" places. Have gone both times I've been in Ft Myers in the past year and will continue to go back. Would give them 10 Bone rating if I could

    Food great, singer loud and aweful

    Food is good, huge menu, staff friendly but there was a country Western guy singing the whole time which was driving us crazy. Only a couple of people would applaud, he needs to go, otherwise a pleasant place to go.
