I had the fried shrimp salad!! It was good if you go you should get this.

The food was good. It was a big group of us and the did Great. I would definitely go back if i was hungry !

Added the side salad for 1.99

I ordered from Door Dash thinking that this was a place I had tried before and I believe it was years ago. But I didn't go back for a reason. The food was just mediocre, didn't have much flavor and honestly the best part was the big salad I added onto my meal for $1.99. The pies must've been sitting for awhile because there was a residue on the crust that made it soft and less like graham cracker. The corn was also so dry that it took me a lot of butter, a little water and foil to bring back to life. I'm trying to figure out the best part of the meal, I ended up turning the side salad into a shrimp salad with the fried shrimp and I believe that satisfied me.

A big group of us (around 25) dined here for late lunch/early dinner. We arrived earlier than our reservation, but were accommodated and sat quickly nonetheless. Two servers were checking on us frequently and did well enough for the size of our group. Our ordering to food on the table was surprisingly quick given given how many of us were dining, and my Feast For One was fantastic - a great experience of o day so myself!

Salad, Shrimp and Pollock combination plate. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was friendly and quiet, location easy to find. Fast service and a clean establishment.

Shrimp, scallop and clam lunch
Cuey M.

The service was great and the food was okay. I think the fried option has a lot more flavor than the grilled - I tried to be somewhat healthy that afternoon but my shrimp and scallop was pretty bland. My wife's fried shrimp however was pretty tasty. I would skip on the crab cake. For about $8-9 you get three patties that's stuffed with a lot of filling. I'd come back here on a whim but probably wouldn't go out of my way.

We enjoy this seafood restaurant for eating in or takeout. The fried shrimp basket is our favorite.

Let me start by saying the appearance can definitely throw you off as you walk in. However…read moreJacksonville is know for their crab trays and this place came highly recommend by a few of my friends from the area. It's also a seafood market you can literally purchase everything you need to make your own crab tray/boil at home. You can also purchase live crabs and other seafood. This is now ritual for me every time I come to Jacksonville. This place is super affordable since we all know how much seafood can cost these days. All food comes cold (EBT people can purchase) but they will heat your food up for you at request. They add all the seasonings and garlic butter before heating. You can ask for extra seasoning and spice. They also do sell snow crabs legs. However I am a blue crab girl and these are literally some of the best garlic crabs I have ever had! The garlic tray is good portion for the price. The service is good because they get you in and out. I've never had an issue with anyone being rude but it does help to know what you want. If you're ever in Jacksonville run don't walk and head over to JCs I promise you will not be disappointed!!

This place stays busy but there's a decent amount of parking. On my last visit I picked up a bushel…read moreof oysters for $84.99 -- The bushel was carried out then loaded on the truck for us which was nice. The oysters itself was not washed as the sign stated and almost half of them were pretty shriveled up. Might go with a half next time and not take the risk. Had to throw quite a bit away.

Oysters WoW hand held sandwich options the Grouper fried Perfectly prepared hot flaky great Flavor FF crispy & Hot way to Kitchen!!! Highly recommend See you guys & your Team Soon. Keep up the outstanding performance.

Don't say I didn't tell you about the Westside!…read more I've been wanting to come to OP Fish House for a while. I decided and came for lunch today and I will say it did not disappointment like I thought it would. I'm always down to try a place atleast once. So let's get into this review shall we!? Upon walking in my husband and I were greeted by the hostess and you'll see a big chalkboard with their weekly specials. We were sat in the back by a window so it was nice to have a view. Everything looked good on the menu. We started off with shrimp and some oysters and the oysters were topped with collard greens and cheese they were good but the oysters were just HUGE! For my entree I had a shrimp po'boy with a side of the bacon collards again they were really good. My only issue is that for my po'boy the bread was not a roll but it was still satisfying. My husband had the fish platter with grouper and trigger fish with fries and coleslaw. We absolutely loved the grouper it reminded me of red snapper. However we will be back and I love a cutie, rustic looking restaurant.
