Went to Singleton's tonight for the first time in many, many years to celebrate a birthday. Had an awesome time! Sat outside on a beautiful Wednesday night. Had a great cocktail. Had the renowned shrimp dinner with hush puppies, fries and black beans and rice. Food was awesome! Service was great! All around just a terrific mid week treat. I've been coming here since 1989 and will come again. read more

We ordered the jalapeño crab poppers, shrimp dip, purple pelican drink, and the St.Johns Sunset drinks. The best thing ordered was the popper, but standard frozen and fried popper nothing amazing. Shrimp dip was brought out we expected a warm bubbly dip, instead greeted with a cold dip with crackers, heavily seasoned with old bay. The drinks were a bit strong starting off! They do have live music and a decent water view. read more

Say what you want about this place, but we LOVE IT! We have our order down to a science which helps. I just love the view, the staff are always friendly and the food is always really delicious. I love their blackening flavoring and if you're a margarita person like me, they have some of the best knock you on your butt margaritas! The fried pickles, bang bang shrimp and blackened fish of any kind are always outstanding. read more

We have been waiting to try Singleton's for a awhile now and they were undergoing renovations for a little over 3 months and now they are finally open. The inside feels like I am inside a wooden ship, cool memorabilia over the years are seen throughout this spot. Seated at the outdoor view and even got to see a Carnival Cruise liner pass by (didn't know they make their way up here) and the view is just awesome as the sunset comes. For drinks, got the Singleton Sunset-because it is that time of the day and a Modelo Especial which are both really good to mix with seafood. Calamari and Steamed dozen Oysters for appetizers were right on the spot. Got the Good for 2 Meal which we selected Blackened Trigger Fish and Scallops. They paired really well with the Collard Greens and French Fries. Our server Jill gave us delicious recommendations and was attentive. There are lots of customers on the weekend, so it may take some time for the orders. read more

I've only been here for steamed oysters and they oh so good. Last time I went, I also tried the buffalo shrimp app. They were delicious. Our server was amazing. He's great! The restaurant sits on the water so it's a great vibe no matter the time of day as long as you have good company. read more

As a big fan of Guy Fieri, I definitely wanted to give Singleton's as he had introduced on his famous "Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives show. After initially trying it out, I have been recommending it as a must go place for out-of-towners. We were definitely forewarned that the combos "for two" were not simply for two but quite possibly for four or even five people. There was quite a good amount of food for the price. We sat out on the deck and it definitely was quite a nice experience to sit out by the pier and have a ton of seafood. read more

Hadn't been here in awhile and boy has it gotten worse! Ordered the Blue Crab cakes and they were totally disappointing! So overly seasoned that they tasted as if the cook had dipped them in salt! Alerted my server Courtney and she just said "Oh the same guy makes them, maybe he over seasoned them." Are you kidding me? $38.00 for over seasoned crab cakes and that's the response we got! I would definitely not recommend this place! read more

Service was basically non-existent! After the server took our order and then later delivered our drinks, she was MIA! We waited over 30-40 minutes, but no food. When we noticed the table next to us who came after us received their meal, my husband went to check with our server. She said she didn't remember waiting on us and she would check on the order. Still waited, but finally got up and left! We will NOT return!! read more

My parents took us here while visiting and we loved it! The vibes were exactly what you want in a beach restaurant: casual, quick, good food and good views. We sat outside and were able to watch the pelicans perched on the columns. They also had live music, which was nice. The food was delicious - my parents got the fried seafood dinner for two and it lasted them three meals! So much food but all delicious. Cold drinks, hot food, 10/10 recommend! read more

The fried food was not seasoned. I even asked, is the fish seasoned the response was... you can order it fried, blackened or ... that doesn't answer the question. We proceeded to order the three combo shrimp, grouper and deviled crab. Also soft fried crab. No seasoning was added to our fried fish or soft crab. The size of the shrimp was nice. For the price and the taste we will not return. There was seating outside by the water which looked nice. We sat indoors due to the chilly weather. Oh the collards were seasoned but I recommend they remove the stems. read more

An OG among the Diners Drive-Ins and Dives places that have aired, and I'm glad that we got the opportunity to stop by. Ambiance...you want Ambiance YELP...Here you got more Ambiance than you can shake a stick at... It looks the same as it did years ago when it aired...when you think of what an old Florida Seafood Shack would look like....this is it. And when you think of what they'd be serving up...this is it. Anna, our server was very busy as they were short-handed but she kept on top of things for everyone. She told us the catch of the day was Mahi-mahi and that's what we went with. Mine blackened with Coleslaw and Terri's was fried and with fries. Both were very good and I can see why these folks are still in business after all these years! read more

Thought I'd drop in for a change up from Safe Harbor. Sat down and looked at the menu and $28 for shrimp is ridiculous. Quite a bit cheaper up the road. No wonder the parking lot has a 1/3 of the cars. Sad because I want to support them but $28 and they have their own boats right behind the restaurant? No thanks read more

Loved Singletons! But Saturday night, celebrating an anniversary with my wife may be my last visit. Maybe it was a bad night in the kitchen? The clam chowder we had the consistency of thick paste and was scalding hot. Still have a burnt tongue after two days. The fish was a very thin filet and was dry. I would have returned it but I did not want to embarrass my wife. The hush puppies were overcooked and grits a thin paste. The coke slaw was great! All this, amidst a beautiful sunset and great moment with my wife. Was it worth $130? Not the food at all. Maybe it was just a bad night. I would pause and look at other referrals before returning. Until then, there is always SaltLife in JAX Beach. read more

Singleton's in Mayport has always been my favorite seafood restaurant until my last visit. I brought my family from out-of-town for a delicious meal, but found the cleanliness of the kitchen, cooks, and bathrooms is not good. Men's room didn't even have paper towels to wash your hands. (What do the people who cook use?) read more

Arrived on Saturday Night, 7:15 PM (7-25 '26) with clients. The waitress was clearly overworked and stressed. We ordered the steam pot for two and some other dishes. The steam pot, which usually comes with a couple of baked potatoes and clams had one small piece of potato and no clams. I did not raise the issue because of the business dinner. A few days later called the restaurant, spoke with Carol, and requested a manager. I was told that the mangers were all busy, but she would take a message. I gave a detailed message and confirmed my phone number. No call was returned. If they were out of items, they should have informed me when I placed the order. Having managers that are too busy to talk to customers is very poor. Not receiving a call back is unacceptable. There are many seafood shacks in Jax, go elsewhere. read more

Do not go! It is not clean nor is it safe. The floors are about to fall in especially in the bathrooms which had water standing in them when we went. The quality of the food is not good. The seafood boil is all cooked separately and then mixed together for serving. Items are over cooked and had no taste. There is nothing about this place that you want to go back for to eat at. The building is a complete Shack! Not safe especially if you have anyone elderly that is unstable to walk as the floors are very soft and ready to fall in. The toilet might just do that! Find a different place to eat! read more

Positive first our waitress Nowai was very nice and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Now onto the negatives the restaurant wasn't very clean and had broken glass windows. Also my shrimp nachos the chips in them were very stale. And they only gave me $3 off the $17 price even though I didn't eat most of the nachos. And when we talked to the manager she was kind of a Karen. She didn't pay any attention to the complaints and was busy doing other things. read more

The food was fresh and delicious. The prices were affordable. Lately, I loved sitting directly on the water! read more

Our second visit to Singleton's was likely our last. Service was short and insincere. Absolutely disconnected and seemed bothered by our presence. Food was average at best. Maybe the worst grits I've ever had. Fish was ok, but forgettable. Parmesan crusted oysters were mostly breadcrumbs. Literally almost choked on them. They should be embarrassed to serve them. I don't typically give bad reviews, but this visit definitely deserved a dishonorable mention. I wanted so bad for this place to be good, but it isn't. So many better choices in Jacksonville. read more

It just never gets old! I love Singletons. Sitting at the bar with Dawn as our bartender is always my favorite! This weekend we decided a Saturday Mothers Day celebration was better than the Sunday crowds. One of our favorites is the Seafood Boil for 2! So yummy and plentiful. Always leftovers. read more

We treated ourselves with the oysters including Oyster Rockefeller, Parmesan Crusted and Key Lime Panko Crusted. Then our family shared the Fried Mariner's Combination for Two which included a combo of shrimp, oysters, scallops, clam strips, fish, & two deviled crabs with your choice of two sides. For $55, this fed a family of 3 with leftovers! They also offer a full bar with some specialty cocktails such as Rays Pride, Duval Teal and St John's Slinger. It's not fancy. It's rustic with history. Check out Captain Rays collection of handmade wooden boats and chill on the deck after a trip on the ferry for a fun weekend. read more

Drove 40 miles to get here, because it has been sometime since our last visit. Very disappointed in the prices. For a party of (3) for lunch we paid $130 + $26 tip for lunch. We had only conch fritter for appetizer and no desserts. I had blackened trigger-$30, blackened chicken sandwich-$14, mahi mahi-$13. Also, for the 2nd time no draught beer. Everything is plastic and not too clean inside. Needless to say, it is overpriced out of the market and we will never return. There are better choices. Sad to say after 11 years going there. read more

Great food and atmosphere. I could go on and on, have not had anything bad there. Highly recommended.

This is the spot! Singletons has excellent fried seafood, and you just can't beat their outdoor deck on top of the river. I've been here several times now and it's been outstanding each time. The fish are extremely fresh and delicious. I'm also a big fan of the clam strips and shrimp. The seafood breading adds a corn-mealy flavor that goes perfectly with it all. And they have a great hot sauce collection. If you're getting a seafood plate, instead of eating fries, I recommend getting clam strips as one of two proteins and get other sides instead. The fries really are nothing to write home about. The fried corn and corn slaw are delicious. And you really can't beat that deck on the river. Watching pelicans fly by, seeing boats sailing, and just enjoying a cold one on a sunny day at that great spot is the best. Highly recommend! One of my favorite Jacksonville spots! read more

Very disappointed. The stuffed crab was burnt and falling out of shell. Trigger fish was dry and hard. Oysters were plenty but over cooked on some. The shrimp was ok. Not the same quality as it was in the past. Been going here most of my life , however I have seen a decline in quality. read more

It was great service and good food. We got seated quickly. The blackened triggerfish was on the catch of the day with mahi. I highly recommend triggerfish whenever it is on the menu. The fried shrimp and oyster are alright. The fries weren't worth getting again. We enjoyed the hushpuppies and the coleslaw. It has air conditioning inside and outside tables. I would return if I was in the area again, but I wouldn't make a special trip for it. read more

Very fresh seafood served by lovely people in a nice setting alongside the St. John's river. During happy hour there were some excellent beer prices. read more

Great place to sit back and enjoy the sunset. Amazing view. Right on the bank of the St. John's by the ferry. read more

Good location of course and good service. But overpriced shitty seafood. Twice the price of Dockside and less than half as good quantity. Deviled crabs were mushy. Oysters were the snottiest, barely cool and worst I've ever had in my life. Jalapeño poppers were straight out of a Cisco bag. Seagulls like rats. I have been twice and that is the last I'll ever go. Tried to give them the benefit of doubt . Fool me twice ...shame on me. read more

Beautiful views with live music, can't get any better than this. Tried the gator tail, raw oysters, and blackened shrimp with baked potato, hush puppies, and black beans and rice. Everything came out tasting wonderful, service was great, and the outside seating was pretty amazing. As soon as you walk in, you can see where your food is being prepared. There was one particular cook who maybe was having a bad day, but walking in and hearing him act rude to the waitresses was kind of off setting. Pretty unprofessional on his part esp knowing guest can hear you but he did not seem to care bc he saw us looking in his direction and he continued to make a fool of himself. read more

Food quality Not good!!! Although the service was good for being so busy. Loved the atmosphere!!

Friendly and supportive staff, straight forward menu, decent serving sizes. The outside deck is just right in perfect weather. The sights, the scents, and the breeze. Beverages were topped off frequenty and the seafood was as fresh as you could want from waterfront of a port. Decor is a bit rustic and weathered, and the sea gulls are aggressive for good food, so beware. but a dininig spot, two doors down from the ferry landing. read more
