I went here with my sister & niece about a week ago. To start things off we ordered the French Onion Soup which was the best I've ever received at any restaurant. I then ordered the Mates Platter and was very happy with it. I particularly liked the Deviled Crab & Hush Puppies that came with it. My sister ordered the Shrimp Lover's platter which she stated was also delicious. The service from our waitress was also attentive. I will be making this a regular stop in the future when visiting my family in NSB. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very good ! Nothing fancy but always clean and wait staff all very good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would like to see a few more NON fish meals I asked if they could make a hamburger steak dinner (it was not on the menu)they said yes and was very good . I had their rib bbq dinner one time Dustin's beat them all the way Steak dinner fair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Entrance little tricky couple steep steps but they have an easy handicap entrance no steps you are escorted thru the kitchen (always clean).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have the BEST rock shrimp when in season and they buy only when they are able to get the BIG ones ( friend out of town calls them ahead Are they big today!?? So food and service GOOD, Prices ok, best fish around always fresh and some you won't find anywhere else. Always good usually packed especially on week ends get a reservation JC RIPTDES on rt1 Edgewater. Owner (can never remember her name. INE ??weird name) anyway always there waiting on tables and overseeing everything ! closed on Sunday and maybe Monday.call to check.

What a great experience dining here. Casual restaurant. Senior menu that you can order any time. We had the best service from Nicole. She was on top of all our needs. Food was yummy. I had the prime rib (off the senior menu) that was cooked exactly as requested. My husband had Key Lime Swordfish. He loved it. The whole staff were friendly and you really feel welcomed. It's a must try restaurant. We will return for sure. read more

We had a wonderful meal at Riptide's tonight they catered for 55 people, and it was absolutely fabulous ! Everything was hot and fresh and the service was incredible . Our server was called Nicole and she did an amazing job, polite, kind, and friendly and ran herself ragged to keep everybody happy read more

JC's Riptides - Seafood Platter - Seafood Near Me - Edgewater, Florida

It seems the snow birds like this place . However we eat there twice and food is ok but not good enough to go back. Especially after when we were at the end of our meal the manager came to the table and said we were good but there is another group waiting for our table read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is definitely retro, but that gives it a certain charm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is always good. I always order the rock shrimp and it's delicious. I understand their other dishes are excellent too. read more

Tried a new place instead of the traditional beachside restaurants we frequent. Looked up this place due to the reviews and it held up its reputation and then some. We will be back due to the quality of food and especially the hospitality. We got the NY strip and 2 orders of rock shrimp. Stuffed Mushrooms as an app. Everything tasted home made and fresh. read more

0 stars ! I was excited to try this restaurant. Still have not and now won't . My family stopped in yesterday . The hostess or whatever was so rude . I get they had just got a huge party over 20 (that didn't have reservations) but she made a remark about us having kids with us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then said to move out of the way servers would need to get through . I get that they did and we moved[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is small and was crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had never been there before so we didn't realize server would be coming through. Then said she couldn't seat us . I asked not at all she said no. I have never been told a place wouldn't seat us. We would of been willing to wait . I said we had drove an hour to get there she said maybe we should of made reservations . I guess she was right but it was a Tues. night , so I didn't think it would be needed. The main thing was all these things could have been said without being rude but that didn't happen sooooo we won't be back . read more

Service is amazing as is the dinners! We enjoy the prime rim and the seafood is excellent.!

The portion size of the prime rib seemed smaller than the advertised 8oz. It was good but I've had better locally. The baked potato was cooked perfectly & the veggies were tasty. Liked that they were sliced extremely thin with the carrots having a fine julienne on them. This allowed the vegetables to be fully cooked. One out of the 4 of us ordered the baby back ribs. It was only a half rack on the early bird menu with 2 sides. All were delicious. The service was good. I'd like to return and try their seafood offerings. Would go to Blackbeards in NSB if craving prime rib again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First off the place looked pretty busy and it was. It's Bike week here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Food as always didn't disappoint and I got the Blackened Mahi Mahi while my son got the same but fried. Both were just terrific , moist and tasty. The side baked sweet potato was on point , just enough butter but not totally drenched in it. Waitress stayed on top of serving our drinks and meals in a very quick and efficient manner. Food like this takes time to prepare and you don't mind waiting for a meal this good. read more

Always a great time going there. Never been disappointed. Staff are great and Ninie (spelling) is awesome. Food is delicious and plenty of it! Great Prime Rib and the best Rock Shrimp. Oak Hill Chowder is amazing. Also the Clams Casino, the best. Going there for over 20 years and never disappointed. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

The food was amazing. They served the best conch fritters that I ate in NSB and introduced me to Rock Shrimp, which are simply amazing. The food tastes so good! read more

The exterior of the restaurant and the low key interior will immediately make you realize this place is truly a dive (but very clean inside)! But the seafood is fresh, they have rock shrimp which can't be found everywhere, and the food has been good each time I went! Just don't expect anything fancy and only expect delicious seafood and you'll be good to go! I recommend getting here a little early as they do sometimes run out of rock shrimp and prime rib. Oh, and if you've never tried rock shrimp, you really should! They have a texture and sweetness similar to lobster. One thing I like about getting them at JC's versus other fish camps is that you don't have to completely peel them. They already have the meat exposed and split making it super simple to eat! I've been to JC's Riptides three times now. The first time, I'll admit that I was nervous due to some of the reviews and the exterior of the restaurant - but the food was good! Give it a try and see what you think! read more

My husband and I shared a fried shrimp dinner. No taste at all. Sides he ate a baked potato and I had rice again rice had no taste also it was hard. Not a good first impression. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside and inside need alot of cleaning and updating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Last night was our third time there, and our last. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a local spot, very casual, relax ambiance and super easy go to for a busy work week.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, we had the special red grouper which was being served with lemon wine sauce and scallops. The grouper was served without scallops, extremely bland that I had to salt it myself, and runny sauce. The dish came with 2 hush puppies which were dry and rubbery and a small side of veggies also bland. The presentation is equivalent to a school cafeteria where your food is served on white plastic dishes. The biggest slap in the face is when they bring you the tab! Our plastic dish that had a piece of grouper swimming in wine sauce with a plastic ramekin filled with veggies and 2 hush puppies cost $40. That was $80 for bland undercooked fish. Never going back. read more

We always love finding local places to go eat. Places where your money stays in the area as opposed to going to a corporate beast. JC's riptide certainly fits that bill! I would say that JC's is a cross between two of our favorite restaurant styles both prime rib and seafood. To that point, that is exactly what we ended up eating was the prime rib and rock shrimp for the two of us. I ordered my prime rib blackened and it did not disappoint. Our server was fantastic, although I forgotten her name but not her face. We will become regulars as my wife and I both said this is exactly what we've been looking forward to finding. read more

Love JC's Riptides. My go to dinner is the shrimp lovers. I especially love the stuffed and scampi shrimp. I recommend you call for reservations because they get really busy and wait time can be long. You can seat yourself at the bar and can order food there if the wait time is too long. Great staff and food! read more

Great food. Family business. Fast service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice and quiet place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tried their rock shrimp. Really enjoyed. Key lime pie for the win! read more

We found this restauranton yelp and it did not disappoint. The parking lot was full however we managed to find a spot. We checked in for a rable then proceeded to the bar. We met the friendliest couple who gave great food recommendations. We had the rock shrimp which was super sweet and Mahi mahi. Salad dressings are homemade and fabulous along with their hush puppies! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant had the local flavor of friendliness and hospitality that you find in the south![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nothing fancy however Great food and service. read more

We have been here several times in the past few years. We like it because it is away from the beach crowd. The place is pretty simple, bar to the left, restaurant tables to the right. I will say the restrooms are always clean and well stocked. The rock shrimp is without a doubt the reason to come here. They are fantastic! But like any other place that serves them, they are not always available. Call ahead to find out if that's what you are after. The conch fritters are good too. Everything else is pretty much basic seafood. The service is generally pretty good. The staff is friendly and willing to help with whatever you need So Ambiance 4 Food 4 (5 if rock shrimp are available) Service 4 read more

Never disappointed with the menu. Fresh ness is the key and they have it down pat. I'd recommend it to anyone

Over cooked and not seasoned very bland food will not be returning good prices but quality of food was not worth the good price

We found this place on the internet while in Edgewater recently. Menu looked good so we stopped by for dinner. The staff was excellent...... My wife got the LeMans menu which consisted of Michenlins & P[relli's I got the Indy menu which came with Firestones & Goodyears's We love seafood and what we were served was borderline .... it was food and we saw it so by default could be classified as seafood read more

Interesting place. It was nonstop people coming in the entire time we were there. We decided to eat at the bar, which was fine. The food is awesome with nice portion sizes. The interior could use a little updating, and they were not using all the space they had. They could have added more tables. However, they may not have enough wait staff. All in all, I be back. read more

The appetizers came quick and were delicious,then we waited an HOUR for our entrees, when I finally spoke with a manager I was informed that the kitchen had been shutdown for 45 minutes, then she started making excuses as to why her son running the kitchen couldn't get to our orders or the 5 still ahead of us the fact that we were still charged for the appetizers after basically being told our food was not coming is a bit outrageous but I gladly paid and left rather than wait for them to figure out the rest of the orders. Our server, Autumn, was great regardless and obviously bears no responsibility for the kitchen's issues, even though the manager tried to act like it was by some fault of the server that our food wasn't done, typical of poor management to blame someone else. I would love to give a better review but left with no intentions of returning. read more

JC's Riptides - Southern Sampler - Seafood Near Me - Edgewater, Florida

Wonderful views and friendly staff. We ate upstairs and had a great breeze and view of the surf right there at Flagler avenue.

Quite a let down, having been there several times with great satisfaction, last time...quality level dropped a few notches...Changes in the kitchen? Please better correct this soon as we won't return. Great pity. read more

Whoever the hostess/to go order girl tonight, 1/9/21 is literally the most horrific person I've ever spoken to. I was uncomfortable placing my order with her from the beginning and I should've trusted my gut. I have never felt like more of an inconvenience in my LIFE. We place an order totaling over 100 dollars, and tipped pretty nicely for a togo order, only to get home and it be wrong. I will never return to this restaurant I'm literally mortified by my experience with her. I called her to just let her know we were missing food and to maybe check it for the next to go, to help out. She responded with "huh????" "Wait huhhh?" "Hello, hello". It's sad that the face, voice of your restaurant is extremely rude. If you're looking to get to go, skip it. If you're going in for the experience, shield yourself from the girl at the front. read more

This place was really good. I ordered the stuffed shrimp on the early bird menu. The shrimp was excellent. We weren't impressed with the hush puppies but it was still worth it. read more
