Such a nice little touch, and it was actually good. While looking over the menu, I also loved seeing that they offer senior citizen specials. I'm already looking forward to coming back with my mom--she loves fresh seafood! The biggest reason I'll be returning, though, is the seafood selection and the fact that you don't have to get everything fried. That is a HUGE plus for me. I ordered the blackened stuffed flounder, and it was packed with flavor and extremely fresh. The two sides I chose were delicious as well, (cheese grits, sweet potato) and the selection of sides on the menu is extensive, so there are plenty of options to choose from. I also ordered a glass of white wine, which came in the prettiest glass. The atmosphere is another thing I really liked. It can be slightly dressy or super casual, making it a great spot for different occasions. I also loved having both booth and table seating options. My friend and I had amazing service from start to finish. Between the prices, portions, service, ambiance, and flavor of everything we tried, this was an easy 5/5 stars for me. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

I love a good seafood boil! And it's one of the things I crave most. We just got shrimp this time…read morearound for something casual, but it still felt very varied, with the corn, sausage, and potatoes. The shrimp was really easy to peel, and pretty juicy. The potatoes were perfectly soft and able to sop up the seasoning. The sausages were a good combo of chewy and soft. And the corn was super juicy and sweet. We got the mild option, but honestly, we didn't really notice any spice, so I would definitely go for a higher spice level next time. The seasoning was pretty good, but not the best I've had. It was a bit too oily for my preference, which sounds a bit dumb because of course it's oily. But it was so hard to get the seasoning on the food. At times it felt like I was only scooping oil up without any of the flavoring. Whereas at other places, it felt like the oil itself was super flavorful too.

When my coworker (Jann H. On Yelp) and I visited from Arizona for support to training our…read moreJacksonville office, I wanted to get a seafood boil. Being from a landlocked (Arizona) state, I wanted to get some fresh snow crab as you can truly taste the different even if you can get flash-frozen. We pulled up, and it seemed pretty underwhelming where it was located. When walking in, I initially didn't notice the insanely cool boat fountain that we marveled at on our way out. Loved the decor as simple, but the fountain elevated it more than other seafood boil places I've visited. Elijah was very friendly and appreciate the recommendation to go very spicy (extra hot). I often feel like some places vary. I want the spice, but I don't want it to completely overpower the food like some spice levels will. This achieved an exceptional flavor and still cleared my sinuses from the spice - perfection! The crab was amazing and the shrimp was pretty good as well; though next time, I'll do all crab as it was insanely fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back if in Jacksonville again for work, and recommended to the local coworkers in the office!

In my opinion, this place is underrated and definitely a go to especially in the Regency area.

I enjoyed the fried oysters, shrimp and green beans but the grits were not to my liking as far as texture but they tasted okay. The espresso martini was okay. I didn't care for the cream on top. It was too thick. My son had the shrimp and grits. My daughter ordered a 2 way platter. I can't remember what she ordered. Upon leaving, when my son stood up, his shirt peeled away from the back of the chair. The chair had food residue across the back of it which left a large stain. We had a stop to make on our way home and he was so embarrassed to get out at the store. Fortunately, I used a stain remover and it came clean in the wash but that was pet disgusting.

Trying to decide how to salvage my crab, by washing off, removing meat to do crab salad something not to waste money. Temperature upon arriving was still hot, although the butter was not melted? The container choice/ packaging was a nice choice from typical styrofoam ones utilized by most restaurants though it didn't keep the butter inside. Though I thought it was more than likely not a combo, I did not see an option on the site to order sides separately aside from ordering a shrimp country boil which included corn/potato/egg. Considering no option was available to add a lil' kick of spice I would consider ordering again only if customizations are available and the aforementioned issues are not a consistent issue.

I will definitely add this restaurant to my "go-to list." Go check them out!

Though the parking lot was busy, I was sat immediately and noticed they were not too busy on a Friday night 7:30pm - likely an indicator of the experience to come. Kaitlyn was very friendly in greeting and throughout the meal. She was obviously the only bright spot on this experience, since you see the star rating. The soda lacked carbonation in the coke, so I mentioned it tasting off to me. I switched to an Orange Fanta, and that too lacked carbonation. Ended up just eating my spicy crab combo with no drink. Which thankfully, spicy is no where near spicy at this location. Medium at best if you order spicy. Genuinely let down, especially since it is ONE cluster for $38.99. Definitely felt this was a skip, and then was shocked when the bill came... As a party of one, I was charged automatic gratuity of 12%, which is bewildering to me. Larger parties? Totally get it! But a party of one, which I was shocked but they do list on the menu of prices. I almost tipped 20% on top of the bill, until I was looking into why it was higher than I expected. Additionally, $4.99 for a soda that doesn't even have the syrup and carbonation properly calibrated?! Wowza, what a letdown for $50+ for dining alone. If you are in Jacksonville, you are surrounded by lots of good seafood places. Big crab? Personally, a pass for me.

Bummer! It's also a market place where they sell fresh seafood. I've been craving for some oysters so I ordered the fried shrimp and oysters platter paired with sides of garlic hard-boiled eggs and fried okra. Good thing we checked our to-go containers because they put fries instead. We weren't told that they were out of fried okra. I just started a low carb diet and the next best thing was the cheese sticks so I got those. My wife ordered the crab legs and shrimp dinner. We definitely enjoyed them. For $11.99, I got a 10-pc decent size shrimp and 10-pc oysters with my platter. Good deal I think. They were perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. The garlic butter sauce on the crab legs was delicious. Finger licking good! Friendly service. 3 1/2 stars.

Since this review is way over due I won't keep you all for long…read more It baffles me that Century 21 Seafood and Chicken has more customers than they do. The first time I went there I got sick, then my friend ordered food from there, I ate it, and again got sick. So no more Century 21 for me! Hot food comes with a wait... There's no way to get around that! So be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes if you ordered fried food or a bigger order in general. I've been happy with everything that we've ordered here, and because we come here so much often times we walk away with a complimentary fried combo, drink or something of that nature. And as a customer and more importantly a Yelper, it's very much appreciated. If you are a garlic, butter, spices type of person then you won't be disappointed with AJ's! Their attitudes are kind, their seafood is fresh and you'll probably be returning sooner then you planned to! Happy Yelping...
