We always enjoy Palm Valley Fish Camp! We've tried several dishes over the years and have honestly never been disappointed. Tonight we decided to try the chef's special and split the swordfish with goat cheese potatoes, green beans, and puréed corn. We also ordered a large side of their creamy grits and they were the perfect addition! The portion was HUGE. No matter how much we ate, it somehow still looked like we hadn't made a dent in them. We also started with oysters, which were delicious! Sorry no picture this time, they were gone too fast. For dessert, we tried the red velvet cream cheese cake. It was really good, although their bread pudding will always be my favorite. I was nice tonight and let the hubby pick. You really can't go wrong coming here for a nice dinner. The food is consistently good, the portions are generous, and it's one of those places we're always happy to come back to. I definitely recommend making a reservation, especially on a busy night, but you can get lucky as a walk-in. We walked in tonight and were seated with no wait! Another great dinner at Palm Valley Fish Camp! read more

Went last night for dinner. We come back every few years when we are in Jacksonville. The peel n eat pink Argentine shrimp are AMAZING!! We shared the seafood boil for 2 and there was way more than enough for both of us. The dish was seasoned delightfully and nothing was left over. Service was spotty last night and we constantly ran out of drinks and had to flag down someone for refills. Parking is atrocious and has only gotten worse over the years. You are pretty much forced to valet due to the extremely small lot. Don't let the parking keep you away, the food is 5 star despite a weak showing by staff last night. We've given 5 star reviews in the past as well. read more

We finally made it to the Palm Valley Fish Camp. It was a late lunch at 2:00. We didn't use the free valet parking. There were spaces available. We were greeted immediately, after a pit stop at the bathrooms, which are conveniently located in the lobby. We were able to get a corner table which had a pretty view of the St John River. There are tables outside, but it was hot and humid and annoying flies. Our charming waitress was Jennifer H. She timed everything perfectly. The Windstorm Chardonnay was good. Rick's Soup was tasty, and we both enjoyed the Salmon BLT. One was blackened and the other fried. The desserts were tempting, but no room for them. We will definitely return to this gem, but on off hours, when it is quiet read more

We almost passed this by as they only have valet parking and it looked crowded but there was no wait on a Monday evening. We had a great waiter and enjoyed a nice dinner with a view of the intercostal. The fresh oysters were enjoyed for an appetizer. Then I ordered the broiled grouper on grits with goat cheese and my companions ordered the seafood broil. I thought my fish was well seasoned and tender. They seemed to enjoy their huge broil, I think it really could feed 3! I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Having dinner at Palm Valley FishCamp was very delicious! We had reservations at 6:30 and we arrived 15 minutes early and we didn't have to wait to be seated. Great staff. Main dining was pretty tight and even felt that our table was too close to the other table. Our server Alex was knowledgeable and gave up the perfect suggestion to try that night! Outside sitting was available with fans going. This restaurant is by the water with a dock available -if you want to arrived by your boat. Free valet parking available! They are open for lunch too. Overall experience was excellent! read more

Overall: 4.5/5 Dishes: - fried gator tail appetizer - broiled seafood - blackened catch (mahi) - tomato and okra appetizer Service: they were busy and it took a while to get the check, but the ambiance was so nice and food so good we didn't mind Ambiance: you just feel so relaxed but also so energized here, surrounded by people enjoying themselves. Conversations and music can be loud to some people, but we liked it. Parking: complimentary valet parking, tips appreciated. We walked to our car since it was a very small restaurant parking lot and it was easier to do that. Valet did make sure our car faced out to the street so it was easy to exit since this is a very very small restaurant parking lot. Reservations: I recommend reservations, even if same day. Gets busy on weeknights Th-Sun especially. read more

Was here last Sunday, got a picnic table out on the water with lovely river view (they have umbrellas but they don't adjust so you might be baking in the hot sun). Service was friendly and efficient. We shared NE clam chowder (very good, thick) and smoked trout dip (this tasted like tuna, they took it off the check). I got fish and chips which was good but maybe could have used a garnish. Friends got crab Benedict and shrimp and grits both were really good. read more

Came here to celebrate my sweet mom's birthday! We made a reservation online ahead of time (it's a good thing we did, because even for a 12pm lunch, they were slammed). When we arrived, we saw that the main parking lot was full, so we parked in the overflow lot (it's the old LuLu's parking lot). BTW parking at Palm Valley is valet, so be sure to bring some cash to tip! When we arrived, we gave our name and were shown a nice indoor table in the corner with large windows, so we could still enjoy the beautiful view. Our server came up, took our drink order and told us about their specials that day. TBH the specials all sounded delicious. At our table, we started with an app of fried calamari, my sister and I both got their red fish sandwich special, which had an avocado smash, and we both swapped out the french fries for grits, my dad got the fish tacos, and my mom got their fried clams. Our calamari came out quickly. I love their calamari, it's not heavily fried, there's a light batter, and the dipping sauce has a bit of a kick to it. When our entrees came, they looked plentiful. The red fish sandwich was perfectly blackened and I liked the fresh addition of the avocado smash. My dad really enjoyed his fish tacos and my mom really liked her clams. We couldn't leave without celebrating a birthday with dessert. We split two pieces of their peanut butter pie. I love the oreo crust, mixed with the salty and creamy peanut butter pie filling, and the caramel on the plate. Will we be back? Yes. ***I found out that they no longer have the fried artichoke app....Please bring this back!!*** read more

We were here seven years ago, loved it, so while visiting we came back. The menu has a lot of shell fish and fish. I like oysters so I chose the Virginia oysters. There wasn't much to them. Next time I'll try the smaller ones from Massachusetts. The Brook trout I ordered was lightly fried. Was a nice portion and very good. Hubs ordered the boiled seafood sampler. Was very nice. Our server was friendly and answered questions. There is a full bar. After dining you can walk out to the water dock and see the wetlands. The parking is tight so valet parking is a must. Everything is handicapped accessible. Enjoy. read more

Small parking lot, they wanted to valet my rental. Apparently they do not care to understand the risks to the customer of that move. It can be a shit show in the end. Open another spot you've blocked for valet and move ahead with life. read more

Arrived on Valentines Day and the parking was a bit tricky but the valets handled it nicely. We were a little early for our reservation and was seated right on time. Our server was very friendly and attentive without rushing us or being intrusive. Unfortunately I can't remember his name! It was a bit busy when we arrived but soon filtered out and conversations were easy to hear. We started with the split Greek salad that was delicious! The greens were fresh and the dressing was very tasty! My husband had the shrimp andouille gumbo which he said was perfect! I chose the NY strip steak with a brandy demi sauce, fresh sautéed cauliflower/carrots onions vegetables and the perfectly cooked fries! My steak was cooked just as I had requested however it was heavily salted. Other than that it was delicious. My husband had the house Merlot and I chose the Ferrari Carano Sauvignon Blanc. Both were very good. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are a fish enthusiast obviously but also the sunset is beautiful if you are seated outside! read more

Another great meal with the family at Palm Valley. The food was delicious. We had some new items like the pork chop and the tuna and they got the spot. The pork chop was huge and juicy. We had two apps, four entrees and a bottle of wine for $210 with tip. A really good price. Service was great and the views over the intercoastal are lovely. Thanks for another wonderful meal. read more

It's hard to say enough good things about this place. All of the food was amazing and so fresh! The atmosphere was cozy with a nice view outside looking out over the water. The service was also excellent! Even though we came here on a Saturday afternoon when it was very busy, everything came out faster than expected and cooked perfectly! The cod special was amazing and the lemon cheesecake for desert was the perfect way to finish the meal. The shrimp avocado salad is also a winner. Highly recommended!! read more

Ponte Vedra Fish Camp is one of my favorite restaurants in the Ponte Vedra/Palm Valley area. I have been visiting this establishment for many years and their food and service is always consistent. The servers are always friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials. The food is delicious and service impeccable. Some of my favorite items on their menu are the shrimp and grits (the best in town), Ricks seafood chowder which is a red base chowder loaded with seafood and vegetables. Their Crab cakes are filled with chunks of real crab and no fillers, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. They also serve several baskets of either fried shrimp, scallops, fish, which includes fries, hush puppies, and Cole slaw. The decor inside is very charming. It can be a little loud at times, but the view if worth it and also offers outside dining which is quite nice in the cooler months. They offer heaters as well when it's a bit chilly outside. I definitely would recommend Palm Fish Camp to anyone looking for a delicious dinner and a nice ambiance restaurant. read more

The location was great! The complimentary valet was a nice touch. We loved the fried green tomatoes and crab cakes! The octopus in the seafood pasta was a little overcooked. Besides that we would recommend this place! read more

I've been coming here for 6 years and have always had great food. Tonight was no exception. I've also had great service over the years but tonight was the exception. I did bring it to the servers attention & a supervisor came to our table & apologized. I thought that would be the end of it but she took our appetizer off of the bill. This shows that PVFC does care about the service they provide. Not just that the item was taken off of the bill but that someone was truly interested and spoke with us about the issues. We will continue to frequent here & understand that it was probably just an off night. So glad because we love the food. read more

Ah love this place! Small little restaurant right on the water with a dock for those traveling on boats, etc. Inside was nice and clean but my mom and I chose to dine outside since it was such a beautiful day. We were greeted promptly by the staff and they were definitely tentative and made the dining experience delightful. We ordered the Calamari, Oysters, Clam Chowder and Red Snapper to share. Everything was so delicious and the view was hard to beat. read more

We had reservations for 4 on a Wednesday night. They have valet parking, which they ended up parking our car right up front near the valet stand. We were seated indoors right away and ordered drinks. We perused the menu and ordered a dozen oysters from Canada as an appetizer. I'm told they were very tasty. We had a couple of glasses of red wine and some beer on tap. Hubby and I ordered crab cakes and a wedge salad to share. Both were very tasty. For dessert we all split a piece of key lime pie. The food was tasty, a little on the pricey side, service and ambiance was excellent. It's a pretty small restaurant with lots of outdoor seating in a big tent with fans. Our total bill for 4 totaled just under $300. I would definitely come back. read more

Palm Valley Fish Camp is an absolute staple for a reason. The waterfront view right on the Intracoastal is unmatched, especially if you can snag a spot out on the deck. The menu is fantastic, and the seafood is always incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. Service is consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive despite how busy the place gets. It's a highly reliable spot for a relaxed night out or a great weekend lunch by the water. read more

We enjoyed an early Al fresco dinner outside along the ICW. Weather was superb. Malia our server was very sweet and a joy (she took the time to explain the menu along with the history of the fish camp). Needed reservations due to the Players Championship just a few steps away. Enjoyed a glass of white sangria and a local I-10 IPA draft. Apps were boiled red shrimp and oysters of the half: both were fresh and delish. Entrees were grilled salmon with double vegetables and Maryland blue crab cakes with vegetables and red potatoes. HIGHLY recommend giving this place a try for lunch or dinner. read more
