One of Fort Myers Beach’s most popular waterfront restaurants, Nervous Nellie’s earns its reputation with an anything-but-nervous approach to food and fun. Oversized sandwiches, fresh Gulf seafood, giant souvenir-glass cocktails, and Nellie’s Colossal Chocolate Cake are the signatures — nothing here is understated. The bi-level colorful space has gorgeous dockside views of the boat traffic, live music keeps the energy consistently high, and the 32-oz rum bucket has contributed to more than a few legendary evenings. Happy hour runs daily 3–6 PM. Fort Myers Beach’s best waterfront restaurant by local consensus for good reason.
