I…read morenoticed a significant change in the experience at Jack's Seafood Bar & Grill without Chef Dallas at the helm. Jack's was not only my local watering hole before I moved away, but it was also a key part of my daily life in the service industry. I'm thrilled to see my favorite chef back in action, bringing his unique flair to the restaurant once again. I highly recommend trying anything on the Specials Board--I'm confident you'll be satisfied! Welcome back, Chef Dallas! Long live the king!

Second visit. We really like this bar. Primarily the local vibe and the attentive bar service…read more Overall service and responsiveness to requests could not have been better. 5 stars for that. Both our meals last night were rather disappointing. My wife's "medium" burger came out well done and very dry. The onion rings were solid. I got one of the specials which was a shrimp and crab gumbo. Had very little seasoning and did not taste Cajun at all. The shrimp were the tiny bay shrimp which I am not a fan of. I did not initially see any crab but when I used the camera light in my phone I spotted a few white slivers of crab. Less than 1/2 ounce in total. The garlic bread was solid. Thought about sending my meal back it but it was either both dishes or neither and we decided to just let it go. I think sticking with the standard menu options is the way to go. We will still return though!

This is a very simple, order at the counter, eat it served hot, neighborhood treasure! The food? It is FABULOUS! A lot of foo-foo expensive restaurants need to take cooking lessons here! The breaded fsa food choice is so lightly done that nothing mars the texture or great fresh flavor of the original item. Onion rings - breaded light and delicately, hand cut and crispy. Blackened seafood is lightly dusted with good seasonings, and cooked just right! This is not a fancy place, but an honest, down-home good food restaurant. There is a small seafood market attached, providing some extremely fresh fare. We LOVE Doug's!

The coastal vibes were spot on for what we were looking for - glad we found Coconut Jacks…read more We were seated at a table with Bay views - we picked indoor seating in the AC because, August. We had a Mojito and a pina colada to start. Ordered our dinners: grilled scallop basket, blackened grouper sandwich, and blackened mahi mahi sandwich. We must all have been feeling virtuous, because we all opted for mixed veggies instead of fries! I was super happy with my scallops. They were perfectly done, minimal spice which allowed the delicate flavor to shine. The veggies were surprisingly great - cooked just right, not squishy as sometimes happens. Sandwich eaters enjoyed theirs as well. Grouper eater says "very moist. Tasty. I recommend the blackened." We were unable to resist getting chocolate cake for dessert. So good! Our server was nice and attentive (maybe giving off slight Disney theme park host vibes). We were having an early dinner so there were plenty of tables. Decor was thatched roof and beachy, with a dock out back with the potential for providing entertainment watching folk maneuver the space (and low water, depending on the tide)! Plenty of parking but somewhat oddly only available via valet - maybe they can get more cars in the lot that way. Was fine for us, but cashless folk might want to bring some tip $.

Coconut Jack's is about as touristy as it gets in Bonita Springs, and that's not necessarily a bad…read morething. With its waterfront location, lively atmosphere, and boats pulling right up to the dock, it delivers exactly the kind of Southwest Florida experience visitors are hoping to find. What keeps us coming back, however, is the food. Unlike many waterfront tourist spots that rely solely on the view, Coconut Jack's consistently serves excellent food and drinks. The shrimp basket is a favorite, the mahi tacos are packed with flavor, and both the grouper entrée and grouper sandwich are outstanding. Even the burgers are surprisingly good. One standout that deserves special mention is the New England clam chowder, which is absolutely top shelf and among the best you'll find in the area. The atmosphere is energetic and fun, with dining right on the water and plenty of people watching. Whether you're arriving by car or boat, the restaurant has a casual party vibe that feels quintessentially Florida. The staff is enthusiastic, friendly, and works hard to keep the good times rolling, even when the restaurant is packed. Rating: 5/5 Great food, strong drinks, beautiful waterfront views, and a lively atmosphere. Coconut Jack's is a Bonita Springs classic that delivers every time.

I was going to order the calamari and 6 oysters. Putting north of $30 for supper. One of the people in the party ordered a smash burger, and I thought, what the heck, I'll order that. Pretty good burger. For those who like to drink under a thatched roof outside, there is a tikki hut. The establishment's motif is all over the map. But let's just stay with the island theme in Naples, FL. Would I go back again? I don't know, I have had this book marked, and I have eaten at another of their establishments, Sonny's. They do not have the same menu. I like that.

I just don't like warm ipas. Food was good throughout our group of 8. King crab legs were perfect and came with all the tools you need. Fish and chips were delicious and not overly battered. The only low point was my grouper sandwich. Fish was kinda small and dry. My dad who lives down here and is a regular at Pinchers actually said that grouper everywhere has been lousy for a few years and that it wasn't a reflection of the restaurant itself. Wish he told me before I ordered lol! Been here a few times and would never hesitate to come back. Always a good meal and great service.

My wife and I visited Turtle Club for a date night while on vacation on 09/21/26. While we enjoyed…read morethe food and the beautiful sunset view, our experience has been overshadowed by the sheer number of bites we received while dining outside. We left with what appears to be numerous sand flea bites covering our feet, legs, and arms. I personally have well over 100 bites, and the discomfort has continued to make the past several days of our vacation miserable. We were actively slapping and killing the fleas while sitting at the restaurant, and other guests around us were also commenting on them. I understand that I'm visiting from out of town and may not have known what to expect from dining directly on the sand. However, I have a serious concern with Turtle Club actively promoting the experience of "digging your feet in the sand" without clearly warning guests about the potential for sand fleas or explaining whether the area is regularly treated or maintained to prevent this issue. Is this something Turtle Club routinely experiences? Are the outdoor dining areas treated for insects? If this is a known issue, guests deserve to be made aware before choosing to dine outside. Unfortunately, as much as we enjoyed the food and sunset, the outdoor dining experience was simply not worth the consequences we've dealt with afterward. For future guests: bring bug spray and be prepared, or consider sitting inside. I wish we had known before choosing the outdoor experience. Turtle Club, I hope you take this feedback seriously and consider doing more to protect and properly inform your guests.
