The first thing we saw was a line out the door, which felt like a good sign--and there was still a line when we left. My girlfriend and I had never tried fish and chips, so we ordered the fried haddock basket with fries and hush puppies. The haddock had a light breading and was incredibly flaky--it practically melted in my mouth. We also tried the blackened shrimp basket, and the shrimp was perfectly seasoned without being overcooked. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to you. Despite the long line, our food came out surprisingly quickly.

It's been so long and can't believe I've not reviewed Dockside before…read more Well, we arrived just before the lunch rush after our 7:12 tee time. I chose the combo 2 as I was pretty hungry. Fried fish and shrimp with fries and slaw. Everything cooked to order and that kitchen has it going on. Served hot and fresh and fried to perfection and well seasoned. It was really one of the best fried seafood platters that I can remember - seriously ! The line was steady the entire time we were eating but it was moving steadily. Parking lot is currently undergoing some updates (July 2026) so be prepared when you arrive. I only wish there was a location closer to home but regardless, this place is worth the drive from anywhere in Jax and surrounding areas.

Seafood Kitchen was the very first place we stopped after landing in Jacksonville, and it was the…read moreperfect introduction to East Coast seafood. Coming from the Pacific Northwest, we have pretty high standards - and this place delivered. We came toward the end of the night, and while it was still busy, there was plenty of seating available. The atmosphere is no-frills and laid-back - like a classic seafood shack you'd find at a coastal fish market. Nothing fancy, just fresh seafood done right. The raw oysters were fresh and an absolute must order. Since we visited during the winter, I also warmed up with a bowl of clam chowder, which really hit the spot. We also tried the boiled oysters, served hot and charred, and they ended up being everyone's favorite. We all eat oysters and seafood pretty regularly, and even we were surprised by how flavorful they were. If you stop by, don't just order the raw oysters - get the boiled ones too so you can experience both. You really can't go wrong here.

While the service I received was really great the food just didn't hit for me. Bland is the word I…read morewould use to describe it. Not bad exactly, but certainly not inspired. I tried to start with the Smoked Fish Dip but they unfortunately were out of that so I pivoted to a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. It was served with two stone cold hushpupies which added nothing. If you can't serve them hot you are better to not to serve them at all. The soup was also a miss for me. I could decern very little clam flavor amongst the potatoes. Just a miss for me. The special of the day was a Shrimp special. I ordered it fried which was probably a mistake in retrospect. While they were nice shrimp the batter was again not spiced at all, none. It was just a miss for my palate. Maybe it was just me ordering the wrong things as the ratings here are so high but I feel like the Yelpers led me astray here. :(

Don't look for Macallan's 12 year old scotch but they did have Bullet and a good selection of rye. I ordered a crab soup that was beautifully served with a lot of lump crabmeat and a green oil that didn't have a lot of basil flavor. I also ordered fried shrimp, broiled scallops and fried rice. It came with a side of coleslaw. The meal was good the shrimp., According to Chris were locally sourced and I asked " from Publix"? He said that your owner was a boating fan so they were locally sourced. They were good. The scallops were good, but they were undercooked for my taste, but they were excellent scallops. I gave them to my dining companion. The fried rice was a little burned. The star of my dinner was definitely the crab soup. My friend ordered a burger. The menu said it was a three-quarter pound burger. It looked decent but the tomato I would not serve. She said the burger had a good flavor and she thoroughly enjoyed her crispy fries. My other friend ordered the fried calamari. It looked very good, but had shaved Parmesan cheese on the top which was a bit unusual. The calamari was good. and not chewy. It was a nice good size serving. He also ordered a salad, perhaps a chef salad? It had bacon, eggs, a good size, serving of crab, tomatoes, onions, and other things. it looked beautiful. All in all we had a great meal and would definitely come back here. Just let's do something about the thermostat.

Tonight we decided to try the chef's special and split the swordfish with goat cheese potatoes, green beans, and puréed corn. We also ordered a large side of their creamy grits and they were the perfect addition! The portion was HUGE. No matter how much we ate, it somehow still looked like we hadn't made a dent in them. We also started with oysters, which were delicious! Sorry no picture this time, they were gone too fast. For dessert, we tried the red velvet cream cheese cake. It was really good, although their bread pudding will always be my favorite. I was nice tonight and let the hubby pick. You really can't go wrong coming here for a nice dinner. The food is consistently good, the portions are generous, and it's one of those places we're always happy to come back to. I definitely recommend making a reservation, especially on a busy night, but you can get lucky as a walk-in. We walked in tonight and were seated with no wait! Another great dinner at Palm Valley Fish Camp!

Ahi appetizer with the pineapple pico... ahi was warm there was no sauce it was just warm fish and rice on a plate. We got the pineapple pico on the side but the fish was not at a proper temp The fish special.... They didn't inform us A) it was Fried and B) they didn't tell us there was chorizo in the Chinese style noodle veggie concoction. There was grease pooled at the bottom of the bowl and the fish was less than stellar it wasn't fried evenly. Our waiter however was fantastic. They did take the main dish off which we didn't ask them too but that was super kind. But for the love of all things martini please shake it and shake it some more!

Absolute best fresh seafood in Neptune Beach, Jacksonville!…read more After passing by several places, chose North Beach Fish Camp because it was the busiest, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is lively, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming they even surprised the table with a complimentary order of fried crab claws with garlic aioli that were absolutely delicious. For my main course, I had the trio fried platter with fish, scallops, and shrimp, accompanied by hush puppies, fries, and coleslaw. You can truly taste the freshness in every single bite; everything is locally caught by their own fishermen. Between the amazing food, top-notch service, and great atmosphere, this was a standout dining experience. Highly recommended!

I've always had a great experience eating at North Beach Fish Camp. Downstairs is usually crowded,…read moreso my favorite place to eat is upstairs. Even if the restaurant is packed, you can usually get a spot at the bar to eat. And if you sit upstairs, you get a nice view out of the windows. They have different specials all the time, and on our last visit, they had fried crab claws with a yummy dipping sauce. On this last visit, we just had drinks and appetizers, but on previous visits, I've tried a lot of the fish dishes on the menu and have liked them all. They also have good hush puppies. Their mixed drinks are good as well. I can't remember the names of the two I tried (in the photos), but they were refreshing. My husband had an espresso martini, but instead of vodka, he had them make it with the O'Kahan Agave Mezcal Purple Heart, which is something you have to ask for. It's a different twist on the usual espresso martini. Overall, it's good food in a good spot right on the corner in the Beaches Town Center. Never been disappointed and have been eating there for years.

Okay, Marker 32, you definitely understood the assignment!…read more If there's one thing I love, it's a restaurant that delivers on the food, drinks, AND service, and Marker 32 did exactly that! Let's start with the drinks because BABYYYY! They were strong, flavorful, and absolutely worth ordering. I love a good cocktail, but I love one that actually tastes good AND has a little kick to it even more! Now, onto the food! We started with a couple of appetizers, including the fried green tomatoes. And let me tell you something, I consider myself a fried green tomato CONNOISSEUR! If they're on the menu, there's a very good chance I'm ordering them. Marker 32 did not disappoint! Between the crispy coating, presentation, and delicious toppings, these were definitely a highlight of the evening. The other appetizer was just as enjoyable! For my entrée, I ordered the salmon with a crab cake, and WOW! I genuinely wasn't expecting the combination of flavors to be THAT good. The salmon was beautifully prepared, and everything accompanying it complemented the dish so well. It was one of those meals where you take the first bite and immediately know you made the right decision! We also ordered the chicken with mashed potatoes, and that dish was DELICIOUS! The rich sauce, chicken, and creamy mashed potatoes made for such a satisfying combination. And of course, you know I couldn't leave without something sweet! We finished our meal with a little dessert, which was the perfect ending to an already wonderful dining experience. The service was amazing throughout our visit, which made everything even better. I appreciate a restaurant that doesn't just serve good food but also makes the overall experience enjoyable. Marker 32 is definitely somewhere I'd recommend for a date night, special occasion, or simply treating yourself to a really good dinner. THE VERDICT: ABSOLUTELY A YAY! Great food, flavorful cocktails that don't play around, and amazing service! Marker 32 is officially on my list of Jacksonville restaurants worth recommending. Would I return? WITHOUT QUESTION!

It unfortunately was not as we remembered. My husband noted how much smaller the salad was, but said it was still good. I had the Yellowfin Tuna Poke for an appetizer. It was good but not great. I was a little concerned when a few pieces of the tuna tasted a bit off, I'm hoping that I have no bad reaction to that tonight, but so far so good. For my main course I had the pork chop with spaetzle/roasted brussels sprouts/apple slaw/whole grain peach mustard. The pork chop was very tender and the accompaniments were very good. My husband had the Shrimp Fettuccini (andouille/peppers/pecorino/smoked tomato sauce) and was very happy with it. For dessert we had a blueberry peach crisp with vanilla ice cream and this was the most disappointing, as it was like a warm soup. Just as a side note: I was not looking for anything when the waiter asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, and found it odd that they asked, we were, yet did nothing for us. The service was good and the view was as nice as I remember.

We did the all-you-can-eat option for $48.99, and it was worth it! That may be a little pricey to some, but for a special occasion with unlimited seafood and appetizers, it was a great price for me personally. They gave us little paper menus to check off what we wanted, and you can fill out as many as you'd like. The staff was very kind and attentive, so everything came out quickly! The seafood was very clean and a good size, which means a lot to me as a seafood lover. I got crawfish, snow crab, black mussels, clams, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and boiled eggs. The sauce had great flavor as well. You can also ask for the sauce on the side if you'd like to control your sodium or calories. Next time I'll try some different things on the menu. It was a clean, cute place, and I'll definitely be back!
