    I wasn't as excited about this restaurant as some of the other reviews, so I probably wouldn't come back here if I'm In Jacksonville. I got the grilled fish wrap and it was okay but as I ate more it got very fishy tasting. Like too much!! My friend got the Buffalo chicken sandwich and he said it was okay. The fries are really good. The water was kind of nasty tasting so I got a lot of lemons.

    Grilled Mahi Wrap

    Great drafts and quick, friendly service! I sat at the bar for a quick beer and dinner. I'm a hazy IPA type of girl, so I had to order the Hop Lobstah. It was so nice I had to get it twice :) I ordered a clam chowder as my starter. It was suuppppper good. The bacon pieces in it were peak. For my entree, I was looking for something just a little bit on the healthy side. After talking with the bartender, who convinced me their mahi is the best, I ordered the grilled mahi wrap. I was honestly super surprised with how good it is! I would absolutely come back here and order the same things :)

    Shrimp po boy and incredible potatoes.

    Great place but sone caveats: - we arrived Dec. 29 to find it absolutely slammed. The greeter cautioned us food would take a bit. We were at a nearby hotel with no car (awaiting a cruise). It's there or nothing. -the server was excellent. Our beer and water came quickly. -30 minutes and another beer in, still no food but plenty of attention. -our meals arrived. Food: very good shrimp po boy and chicken salad. Shrimp was plentiful. The fries were excellent (mix between steak fries and wedges). Ambiance: fun place. Service and honesty along with the food sound bring us back.

    Fairly big space inside and they had outdoor seating but I didn't look at it. We were seated immediately and they took our drink orders. We were pleasantly surprised how good the food was. I had a variety platter and my daughter had gator tails. Everything was delicious. I would eat here again.

    Wow this place really impressed me ! I came in for lunch right when the opened around 11am ish and I was greeted right away! I sat at the bar so I can try the in house IPA's and they were great! I didn't know what to eat but I wanted to literally try everything on the menu lol I decided on trying the clam chowder and fire cracker shrimp for my app and let me tell you !! YOU NEED TO ORDER THE BOWL not the cup of clam chowder because it was BEYOND BOMB I wish I would've ordered the bowl! REGRETTED that right away but it was good enough ! The northsider burger was delicious ! I asked to add fried jalapeños to it which gave it the right amount of kick ! I am so happy I came in to try this place I will 100% be back !

    Watching and waiting for that fish!

    Took our daughter here after airport pick up. Great staff. Quick service. Cold beers. Hot and crispy food. Big menu. Tastey shareables. Reasonable prices. Try them!

    Clam chowder

    Very convenient seafood close to my hotel and airport. I sat at the bar for lunch and had one of their house made beers which was solid. Had a bowl of clam chowder which was different than most I've had since this was darker colored but still tasted pretty good. The star was the mahi sandwich which was a huge piece of fish and tasted great. Cool spot

    Shrimp poboy
    Dawn H.

    I stopped in on my way to the airport to grab lunch. There's a large bar and plenty of tables available for any size group. I sat at the bar and was immediate greeted by the nice bartender. I ordered the shrimp po boy with fries. My food came out pretty fast. The sauce that's served with the po boy is delicious. I was even dipping my fries in it. The shrimp were fried perfectly and there were enough on the sandwich to ensure you get a piece of shrimp in each bite. I will add the Flying Fish Taphouse to the list of places I visit when in Jacksonville.

    Great food and dunks! Kaylee is awesome! Had the Cajun salmon and it was incredibly flavorful.

    BLACKENED MAHI SANDWICH - Blackened mahi fillet, served with lettuce, tomato & remoulade on bun
    John R.

    Overall, a great experience that is very close to the Jacksonville airport. I suppose if you are heading to the airport early or need something post-flight, this could be a good option, but it is close enough to 95 that the detour isn't bad if you are just passing through as well. Great service. The place feels brand new and I assume it is. The BLACKENED MAHI SANDWICH - Blackened mahi fillet, served with lettuce, tomato & remoulade on a bun, with a side Caesar salad was great. They have their own brews too, and the one I had was super good. Easy parking, spacious seating, in summary, a great stop on a long trip.

    My husband and I are flying out of the airport this afternoon and decided to have lunch at this restaurant before our flight. We had driven by it dozens of times but had never tried it until today. It was a good decision. The menu has plenty of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers and entrees. I opted for the Southern Chicken salad. It came with bite size pieces of fried chicken, croutons, iceberg lettuce, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, red onions, carrot straws and cilantro ranch dressing. The chicken was very tasty. My husband had the Taphouse Platter. It was either 2 or 3 fried seafood items along with fries. He chose shrimp and clams, and he substituted vegetables for fries. He really enjoyed the fried shrimp. It is a big space with plenty of tables as well as bar seating.

    Shrimp scampi, looks beautiful but not much taste other than garlic and pasta water.
    Julie B.

    Service was great and they had live music on a Thursday night! Catfish sandwich was great and also the fries. Shrimp Scampi was the special, but did not have much of a taste other than garlic and pasta water. Note I love garlic but it had no buttery taste other than plain garlic. Stick with the fried fish.

    Salty crab
    Tara S S.

    I know crab comes from a salty ocean, but it's like they boiled it in 5 gallons of more salt. Very unsatisfactory.

    Had the Cajun salmon with veggies and it was excellent. The Cajun spice wasn't overwhelming and the salmon was cooked just right.

My friend ordered us the Pork Belly Kimchi Fries, I got us an order of the Cheese Curds, and for my entree I got an order of the Asian Sticky Wings. I probably would have never ordered the kimchi fries on my own. Sometimes kimchi can be fickle and really hit or miss. It was definitely a hit here. More on the sweet and tangy side but worked really well. Fries seasoned perfectly, and the pork belly cubed and cooked to perfection. Out of all of the times I've been to Wicked Barley, these fries have to be one of the best items I've had from there. Cheese curds were pretty basic. Tasted great, but nothing to write home about. If you like Cheese curds, you'll enjoy theirs. I originally had my eye on the jerk chicken wings and I was warned by the waitress and my friend that they are REALLY hot. Jerk chicken is generally one of those thats right on the borderline of too hot for me. To give you an idea, if you're familiar with Butthutt BBQ's jerk chicken, theirs is as far as I can go for spice level. So I switched it up to be safe, and I am glad I did. Sweet and sticky, these had really great flavor inside and out. Would definitely get these again in the future. Brought a couple home to the hubby and he seemed to enjoy them too, and he normally doesn't like, what he refers to as, "sweet meat". I had three different beers in my favorite tasting style, sour. I had the PB&J sour, the mango sour, and the orange cream sour. The orange cream was my favorite of the 3. We enjoyed the sounds of the band Splittone in the background and enjoyed the whole vibe of our meal. I'm hoping to visit again on a future weekend and possibly bringing one of my pups along with me since they are dog friendly.

    This is probably the best pizza I've had in a very long time!…read more Reve Brewing is located in a strip mall right off Mayport Rd, just a couple minute off the naval base. The brewery has a really cool vibe to it, and they also have plenty of TVs where they were playing sports. I know they are a brewery and probably really good at it, but I came here for the pizza. Their selection is small but mighty. When we asked the staff what he recommended, he said all of them (not making it easy buddy). Since they are on the smaller size, we decided to get three and planning to take home some leftovers. My favorite by far was the Pancetta Garlic pizza. At the beginning I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of garlic, but damn was I wrong. The garlic was cooked to perfection and literally melted in your mouth. I don't think I've ever seen a similar pizza anywhere else, and made it even more surprising. Frankly the other two we had were also very delicious, but I truly give it the top spot to the prosciutto garlic. Last but not least, I like that they had THC on the menu. As someone who no longer drinks alcohol, it is nice to see other options available on the menu.
