The Kelpie on tybee

I was chatting with the owner of a local seafood restaurant who told me to go try the chef-owned Kelpie for some outstanding fish and chips. We took his advice and had an outstanding meal this evening! I had the above mentioned fish and chips and it was really good. Flaky white fish in a deliciously crunchy crust with great thick cut steak fries (chips). And the chips were hot- something I feel I haven't had in a long while elsewhere. My husband took the recommendation of our very nice server and had the seafood mac and cheese. He said it was very good and full of shrimp and other fish. All this with Smithwicks on tap and a dog friendly patio. I highly recommend!

We stopped in last weekend for brunch and everything was so good! I was cold from walking on the beach so I went with the Guinness stew. It was so warm and hearty. My fiancé got the chicken sandwich, it was so big we had to take half of it home for later. Then my best friend got the Sausage Yorkies, she said it was also delicious. Then we decided to splurge for dessert and got the bread pudding. O. M. G. It was fabulous. Looks like we will definitely be coming back.

Ruth was the sweetest server. We had scotch eggs (first time), cottage pie, stew and bread pudding. All were excellent.

I overheard a couple talking about how awesome this place was so we had to check it out. This place is so great we've been back a couple times already, lol. All the food we've had is amazing! And the atmosphere is laid back and social. Grab a table inside or out (outside is pretty cool), sit at a bar table or at the bar. Doesn't get much better. You absolutely have to start with the scotch eggs. Dab some of their house sauce on it and you'll be ordering another round! And you can buy the sauce and you should. For entrees I don't even know where to start. Fish n chips, bangers and mash, any of the versions of Mac n cheese or any sandwiches, etc, etc. It was all fantastic. Same story with drinks. Their tap and bottle selection is top notch, and their cocktails are unique but outs

Literally the best food we've had on the island. Fish and chips? 🤌 Cottage Pie?🤌 I am sad we made it here our last day, but fear not, Ruth took amazing care of us! And we're leaving with a cooler full of food. 10000% recommend making this a part of your stay.
