Tybee Vacation Rentals Concierge and Tybee Information Site

Breakfast is not always easy to find on Tybee. The Breakfast Club is terrific, but sometimes the line is too long; and we have a couple of other places that are OK. Now we have Charly’s and it is wonderful.

Charly’s is located next to the Post Office and after Friday, they’ll have the wonderful, intimate inner dining room AND a beautiful outdoor deck. They have lots of colorful art and their windows sport artsy figures in lots of colors.

I had the crabmeat omelet and it was fabulous. My friend was on a diet and asked for the egg-white omelet–not on the menu but Grayson fixed it anyway. They had two specials: fish on potatoes and scrambled eggs with fried potatoes and sausage–both for around $6-7. The prices are very reasonable, food plentiful and very good.

They are open everyday except Wed. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday they are open for breakfast from 7:30 am to 10:00 am and on weekends they extend the time to 11:00 am, after which lunch begins.

Lunch and dinner are also reasonably priced and they have various baskets; salads, lobster bisque, all kinds of seafood, steaks, chicken and two specialties: grilled lamb lollipops and roasted half duck. Every Friday their special is All You Can  Eat Crab Legs for $21.95-$25.95. They offer three desserts: Tiramisu, Key Lime Pie and Creme Brulee.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner–try Charly’s. You won’t be sorry.

Thrive Cafe, an upscale, and certified “green” cafe, offers party and family serving sizes of local charcuterie with classical accompaniments of fruit, grain mustard, cornichons and baguette toasts.

rer example, they offer Benton’s smoky mountain country hams sliced paper-thin and wrapped around seasonal fruit; or Olli Salumeria Americana, an Italian style charcuterie from Virginia which is a special pork from renowned farms such as Ecofriendly and Caw Caw Creek-salamis from the Niman Ranch, a family-run, top-of-the-line sustainable farm.
