I only get the lobster rolls when I come here and they're more than worth the visit. The portions of lobster are generous and always super fresh and tasty. They used Martins potato bun for the rolls which work perfectly with some butter and a light toast on the grill. The remoulade sauce is a nice to pair with the onion rings on the side if you're looking for something to pair with the lobster rolls or the seafood. I've tried the fried shrimp a couple of times. They're good but the lobster rolls easily outshine them. The fried chips that come with your order are good but I generally don't eat many. This is what you'll get in place of your typical French fries. I think it's a nice change up. The atmosphere here is clean but nothing fancy. It's basic and simple but it gets the job done. Service is always fast and the people are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended if you're in Jax and have a taste for a great lobster roll!

The girl replied "uh what?" I repeated my order, Do you sell whiting fish? She finally replied, we only sell Cod. I guess I will return when I want code which will be soon. Jax fish fry has been on my tadar. It is not their fault that I did not do a deep dive into their menu. The new name of Jax Fish fry should be Cod Fry! Im sure they have more than just cod. My bad!

I love finding good seafood spots, especially when they're right on the water! This place is…read morelocated near a military base, but you don't actually have to go onto the base to get here, which is nice. There's even a grocery store right across the street, so it's a pretty convenient location. The seafood here is really good! We ordered a few different things, including gumbo and the fish of the day. Now, I will say the gumbo was a little disappointing when it came to the portion size. For the price, I feel like they could've at least filled that little bowl all the way up lol. It was a pretty small serving, especially for what they charge. The fish of the day was also on the pricier side, but overall, we enjoyed the food! My only other complaint was the hush puppies. They were overcooked, which was unfortunate because I love some good hush puppies with my seafood. One little thing I REALLY appreciated was that they keep lemons available near the drink station! You can just grab some whenever you need them, and as someone who loves squeezing fresh lemon all over my seafood, I absolutely appreciated that. Sometimes it's the little things lol. Overall, a good seafood spot with a nice waterfront location! A few things could use some improvement, but the food was good, and I wouldn't mind coming back.

We didn't know what to expect before going to this restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised…read more The location was convenient as we had just finished shopping at Bass Pro Shop and it was only about 5 mins from there. The service was excellent. Waitress was attentive and came by pretty often to check on our waters etc. our food also came pretty quickly. My husband and I both had the haddock. His was fried and mine was blackened. I mean fish is fish but my blackened fish wasn't too salty so that was pretty good. Hubby had the creamy corn as a side and he said it was pretty delicious. On the overall we had a good experience, satiated our hunger with good food and on a plus side there was a big turtle in the pond that gave an extra kick to the vibe of the place. I would recommend coming here.

It was very empty but we did go on a Thursday afternoon. We tried the shrimp special, gator bites, ahi tuna, and fried green tomatoes. Our food was great reasonably priced. There were also a lot of drink deals, martini towers, and a full bar. I'm not from the area but based on the inside, I'd say people go for the food AND drinks. It's cute. Worth it.

Obviously, it's not a five star dine in restaurant but I did expect a little bit more flavor sense…read moreI am from up north and this is down south. It wasn't horrible or anything I just expected more. I got the chicken and catfish plate. The only thing flavorful about the chicken was the crack seasoning and there was not really any flavor on the catfish. But they do have good deals. It did take me a while to get my food and I don't believe it was that many people in front of me, but the food was piping hot so they were probably making everything fresh. The last thing I would say is I recommend going to this place while the sun is up. It's not in a bad area but a couple of rowdy customers come in every now and again.

Their world-famous fish sandwich is absolutely to die for! It's huge, delicious, and something everyone needs to try at least once.

And whatever you do, **make sure you get it with the works!** You won't regret it. Highly recommend this place!

Tucked in a remote corner of Gainesville, there is a very happy place where you can get some pretty…read moredecent fried fish and other things. Gainesville Seafood, out on the Eastern end of town, is that place. It may not be the easiest spot to stumble upon, but that's part of its charm. This is the kind of hidden gem that loyal regulars keep quietly to themselves, the sort of place that feels like a reward for those willing to seek it out. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, the kind of no-frills setting that lets the food do all the talking. I went for a seafood platter, which was shrimp and fish with fries. They have a variety of different kinds of fish available that you can pick from, which is a nice touch. It gives the meal a sense of personalization that you don't always find at casual seafood spots. I went with the flounder, and it turned out to be an easy choice to feel good about. The platter was generously portioned, the kind of meal that leaves you satisfied without the need to contemplate dessert. All of it was excellent. The flounder was light and flaky on the inside, with a crisp golden crust that had clearly seen well-seasoned oil and confident hands in the kitchen. The shrimp were equally well-executed. They were plump, tender, and fried just right, without any of the rubbery disappointment that lesser seafood joints often deliver. Even the fries held their own, providing a solid, starchy counterpoint to all that seafood goodness. The wait wasn't at all bad either, which is worth mentioning because a place this good can often mean a crowd. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the whole experience moved at a comfortable, easy pace. Whether you're a Gainesville local or just passing through, Gainesville Seafood is the kind of place worth going a little out of your way for, and once you've been, you'll understand why people keep coming back.

I stopped by around 8-9pm on a Tuesday with a friend after hearing great things from coworkers and…read moresince I had the munchies I figured it was the perfect time to finally try them. The parking lot can get a little hectic, especially during busy hours, but once I got inside everything moved quickly. The service was fast and I really appreciated that everything is fried fresh to order, you can taste the difference. I got the wings and shrimp combo and added hush puppies. The wing batter was amazing: not greasy, perfectly seasoned, and honestly better than Popeyes or even KFC. A lot of places give you more batter than chicken, but here the chicken was moist and a good portion. The hush puppies were also surprisingly moist and flavorful, some of the best I've had since they're usually dry elsewhere. My find and I split the order and since we eat small portion we think that was a good portion for us and also had leftovers. Everything was so good I didn't even need sauce, and I'm a sauce girl through and through. Overall, great experience and I'd definitely come back when I'm craving something fresh, crispy, and satisfying.
