    This restaurant is located in the Fountains shopping center on route 210. Upon arrival I was greeted by the owner, Roger, who is very friendly to every customer. The menu offers six seafood handhelds as well as five seafood baskets. The baskets come with fries and cole slaw. I had the Cod basket and really enjoyed it. It was two good size pieces of fish along with a delicious basket of fries. The fries are more like a round slice of a potato that is deep fried. They are addicting. The cole slaw was also tasty. They are currently running a lunch special on the handhelds and a drink for ten dollars.

    I ate all my fried shrimp & fries.

    Show this place some love. Location is way back in corner of a strip center. Hard to find and not that busy. The fried shrimp were very good, the french fries were great although I would prefer a little more crispy on the fries. I am just passing through but I would definitely eat here again.

    Nice and clean location. They were closed at baymeadows location. So I wanted to try this location since I've never been here. Lobster roll was good as always. Staff were nice.

    I've been hearing wonderful things about this restaurant and wanted to try. I would encourage management to take phone orders or take out, I was around the corner finishing a doctors appointment when I called in, I was told they don't take phone orders, while not the end of the world, it's an inconvenience for people that are on the run and need to pick something up quickly. The store is really nice and clean, the take out order didn't take too long which was good. The lobster roll was delicious and fresh, did not disappoint.

    Menu.  \ (*‿*) /゚*:。゚ Welcome to the neighborhood #JaxFishFry-St. John's. Convenient! So glad you are not far from our driveway.

    Always a delightful experience! We've been here numerous times since they opened in October as well as their first location on Baymeadows location. The lobster roll basket is always our go-to. Delicious cold chunks of tender lobster meat nestled in a warm soft potato roll. So good that I just had to order another to indulge later. LOL. We also tried the fresh shrimp and fish baskets. Love that the batter is not overly thick, golden to perfection and pairs nicely with their homemade tartar, cocktail and Jack sauces, all with a nice kick! Excellent home style fries cut on the premises and vinegar-based coleslaw comes with the baskets which makes it an excellent meal. Make room for Dori's fresh desserts too! If you are craving chocolate, we highly recommend the Chocolate Treasure. OMG so moist that you'll want your very own! LOL. We also enjoy and highly recommend the Mini Coconut Slices... heavenly with coconut on top and moist layers throughout. *:。゚ \ (・‿・) /゚*:。゚ Everyone is super friendly and attentive making sure you are 100% satisfied as they stop by to check on you. Thank *‿* you Dori and the hardworking staff for the warm welcome and delicious experience, Rey and I will definitely be back! Food: 5/5 | Customer Service: 5/5 | Cleanliness: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5.

    Grand Opening - October 16, 2023

    It was great to see Dori and Roger again at the Grand Opening of their second location !!! Staff was welcoming, hospitable and super responsive as always. We ordered two Lobster Lover's Rolls and a Fried Cod Basket. Make sure to get lots of the Jax Sauce and Remoulade (enjoy this for the Onion Rings) while waiting for your order. Food is consistently delicious and the only disappointment was Dori's moist, savory and uber DELICIOUS Chocolate Treasure Cake wasn't available due to oven issues on opening day. Dori noted oven was fixed and that she was baking tonight so we will be back again tomorrow to partake of some of THE VERY BEST Chocolate Cake in Jacksonville !!! Huge Congrats, Dori and Roger, and we will continue to look out for those potential future locations on Racetrack Road and Durbin Park's second phase as these would be even much closer to home LOL !!!

    Like the Baymeadow location, this is a counter service store. Walk in and grab a menu. Small menu to choose from. Place your order and pay. Wait a few minutes and your food comes out fresh. Pick up your food from the counter and grab some sauces. Seating inside and out. Nothing special but was clean. The food is good. I got the fried clams which were good. Only issue with the clams is that as I worked my way through the platter, the clam pieces got pretty small. The onion rings were good My wife got the lobster roll. She thought it was good but seemed a little skimpy on the fries.

    Ate lunch here yesterday. Order at the counter and then pick up food. The portions and pricing were great. Food exactly as I wanted. Cookie sandwich was DELICIOUS. Restaurant was clean and had both indoor and outdoor seating. Will be back. Pretty sure my toddler would like this place, seemed somewhat kid friendly, easy to clean/ wrangle a kid.

    Fried cod, fried shrimp, and hush puppies

    This place has the best fried seafood! It is so lightly battered, you get the full flavor of the fish without all the grease and breading. I ordered the fried cod platter and my daughter got the fried shrimp. Both were delicious! We are already looking forward to going back and trying some of the sandwiches.

    Grease anyone - Dori - what do you say?

The margarita was good, not great, but pretty good. My husband had deviled crab with a baked potato and applesauce. I had the 2-item platter with shrimp and scallops.

What a fantastic deal the food arrived hot delicious and they also had half-price appetizers so I wound up getting the fried green tomatoes. Very healthy portion and tasted delicious. If you get a chance, check them out. They have good value, good food, great drinks, and good friends to be had.

I ordered a lemon drop martini. My drink was made well and was cold. When we were seated, we looked over the menu. There menu hasn't really changed too much. We opted to start with fried pickles and split a wedge salad. My sister and her husband each had a salad. My sister had the burata and her husband had the ranch. Our apps/salads came out quickly. The wedge salad was cool and crisp. I wish it had more pieces of bacon, the bacon looked a bit sparse. The fried pickles were great. I loved the light crisp batter on them and the ranch dip had a bit of a kick to it. For dinner I got the braised short ribs, my husband and brother in law both got the chimichurri steak, and my sister got the pork schnitzel. I've been looking forward to the braised short ribs all week. I was a bit disappointed that when I bit in, it appeared to be pretty bland. Normally when I get this meal it's bursting with flavor. My husband and BIL enjoyed their steaks. My sister enjoyed her schnitzel, but said the pork could have been a bit thinner. We ended the meal with their skillet cookie. Typically the cookie comes out piping hot, but on this occassion, while the skillet was hot, the cookie wasn't. We'll give them another shot, but I was a bit disappointed this time around.

Second, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance: it feels elevated and polished, but never stuffy or overly formal. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable whether you're dressed up or just coming in for a relaxed night out. Most importantly, the food is excellent -- and consistently so. That reliability matters. While I personally tend to prefer red sauces that are a little less acidic, I can absolutely get behind Poppy's marinara because the dish as a whole just works. Everything comes together beautifully. And the bread? Dangerous. I could happily eat it until I slip into a full carb coma.

The restaurant is very popular. So much so that they really need a bigger place - one with a much larger bar area. My Penne Caprese was very good with a delicious pesto sauce. The portion was huge. The garlic bread comes just the way I love- drenched in garlic and oil! Nice size rolls. The side of meatballs was the star. Four large balls with a nice mild meat flavor in a really good tomato sauce. The portions here are large and the prices much lower than you'd expect. A nice surprise! This is a popular place so get there early.

We made an early reservation since we saw they do Happy Hour 4PM to 5:00PM everyday so we had to get in on that. We walked and and were seated at our table. They made sure to let us know you can sit anywhere during Happy Hour and still get the specials where many restaurants limit it to a bar area. Rustica does a great job of Happy Hour. They have appetizers, cocktails, beer, Sake, wine, and even main course happy hour entrees too. I started off with a cocktail going for the Liliko Martini which I really enjoyed. I have really been into my Passion Fruit drinks lately. We of course had to get some of the Happy Hour appetizers too and we might have gone a little overboard but for sure worth it. We got: The Naan Bread Yellow Beet Salad Crispy Tofu Roasted Pork Belly Bao Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia Japanese Style Fried Chicken These were a great way to start off dinner and not one of them were $8 or less. If I had to pick favorites the best was for sure the Roasted Pork Belly Bao. I think it might have been the best Pork Belly Bao I had ever had. I was a large thick piece of Pork Belly but it just melted you your mouth and had so much flavor. We also very much enjoyed the Crispy Pork and Shrimp Lumpia which were much bigger then expected. The Japanese Style Fried Chicken was great too and the BBQ Ranch took it to the next level. For my entree I went with the Basil Crusted Roasted Monkfish which came with Vietnamese Yellow Curry, Crispy Shrimp and veggies. The Monkfish was cooked perfectly. I had a great sear on it too which gave it a bit of a crunch. I know Monkfish can sometimes be intimidated people because it was pretty ugly looking but let me tell you if it's prepared like this you're going to love it. Some of the best fish I have had. The Vietnamese Yellow Curry paired very well with it too. Wasn't too heavy and didn't over power the fish but just added an extra boost of flavor. I know what you're thinking who could was possibly be hungry for dessert but it sounded good so we ordered the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee and the Yuzu Cheesecake. Both were light enough that we could still really enjoy them after all we had eaten. We really like that the Thai Milk Tea Creme Brulee also had bubble boba in it which we didn't expect. We had an amazing meal and for sure be coming back sooner rather then later.
