The service was excellent. Waitress was attentive and came by pretty often to check on our waters etc. our food also came pretty quickly. My husband and I both had the haddock. His was fried and mine was blackened. I mean fish is fish but my blackened fish wasn't too salty so that was pretty good. Hubby had the creamy corn as a side and he said it was pretty delicious. On the overall we had a good experience, satiated our hunger with good food and on a plus side there was a big turtle in the pond that gave an extra kick to the vibe of the place. I would recommend coming here.

It was very empty but we did go on a Thursday afternoon. We tried the shrimp special, gator bites, ahi tuna, and fried green tomatoes. Our food was great reasonably priced. There were also a lot of drink deals, martini towers, and a full bar. I'm not from the area but based on the inside, I'd say people go for the food AND drinks. It's cute. Worth it.

The restaurant needs a sign on SR13, as it is easy to pass. I arrived on a Tuesday afternoon to a nearly full parking lot. Interestingly, there were very few folks there. They should expand the parking lot. I can't imagine finding parking during busy periods. The restaurant was large and nautically decorated, but not tacky. Outdoor deck was a nice size, with overhead fans that minimized the heat. Dining area and ladies' restroom were clean. Service was friendly, efficient, and enjoyable. As soon as I entered, I was greeted. Shortly thereafter, I was shown to a table, told the specials, and given time to place an order. The calamari dish was excellent -- dare I say better than Julington Creek. The Tuesday 20-Piece Shrimp Dinner w/ One Side ($19.99) was a great deal. Shrimp were served piping hot with tarter sauce, sweet chili sauce, and bang bang sauce. Shrimp Shack uses better seasoning on their fried shrimp. But Outback Crab Shack shrimp are huge; taste fresher; and can be served grilled, blackened, or fried. I prefer sides like hush puppies, vinegary slaw, or mac & cheese, but the side of fries were fresh, hot, and plentiful. I was too full for dessert. Maybe next time...

They also have an array of desserts to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to St. Augustine!

They were happy to make our order even though they were already cleaning up. I had the fried cod with coleslaw and fries. My husband had the fish tacos and clam strips as well. Both of us very much enjoyed our food. It was cooked fresh. The french fries or steak fries are cut thinner than steak fries and are kind of scooped out a little bit. They were very good and perfect for ketchup and other sauces. I'm always glad when a fish fry place has malt vinegar available. That means they're serious! Lol. The fish is lightly breaded and very flaky. The coleslaw is creamy and sweet. I didn't try the clam strips, but they looked good! And the tacos were very tasty! The restaurant is super clean! And the restrooms are super clean as well! It's a very plainly decorated eating establishment, but very comfortable as well. They have outdoor seating, which would've been lovely on a day that wasn't so hot!

We went here for lunch last week because my dad had a hankering for a fish fry. It's been a minute…read moresince we've visited Jax Fish Fry, so I was excited to try it again. They are located in the plaza on 210 where Grumpy's is located (but it's tucked away in a corner back by the cigar bar). They have some yard signs in the plaza that advertise a $10 lunch special. When we walked in, we went to the counter and checked out their lunch specials. The $10 lunch special includes a main, fries, and a drink. Some of the items on the lunch special were a fish fry, fish tacos, clam roll, shrimp roll, etc. I ordered the fish tacos, my dad ordered the fish fry, and my mom got a clam roll. Everything was made to order. Our items came out roughly 7 minutes after we ordered. For $10 you get a sizeable fish fry, for $10 you get two fish tacos and a plentiful side of fries, and the clam roll was chockfull of clam strips. The fish was perfectly fried. It wasn't heavy, it was light and crisp. I loved the addition of the remoulade sauce. The fries were delicious. I would definitely come back here again.

The dishes were great and I wouldn't change a thing, except on one. The pork belly bao was dry and little bland. I used the dip from karage chicken on it and it was great. Everything else we had, AMAZING! Love all the sauces and dips made in house. The miso dressing on the salad was so good I could eat that on anything. The oysters were fresh and the toppings equally complimented the oysters. The grouper and monk fish, cooked and seasoned just right. Great job on crab beignet! My favorite was hamachi on the soba. It was a completely elevated way to experience that fish. I would order that again. The kids really enjoyed their kids meals too and the cocktails were good. I definitely recommend.

I ordered Chicken Marcela and my wife order lasagna. Both were pretty good but definitely not the best we have ever had . The atmosphere was a bit crowded and loud. It definitely wasn't very romantic. I will say that the Wood Stone Pizza really looked like the star of the show and we should have gotten it. We talked to multiple customers and they all said pizza was fantastic. So honestly we probably just ordered the wrong thing. It's like going to a steak house and ordering chicken! Just don't do it. I would give this a solid 3 1/2 to 4 star rating. Nothing was bad just wasn't nothing over the top either!

We just returned from what should have been a nice dinner and are still trying to wash the taste…read moreout of our mouths. From bow to stern (nautical theme here) this was just a bad experience across the board! Our waiter had zero personality and acted as if he really didn't want to be there, the food was bad, and the cost was far more than the value provided. A rainy Sunday night and not very crowded - maybe 4 - 5 tables, but somehow our food managed to get lost in the kitchen and we waited way too long for food that was (in my case) completely inedible. My wife ordered the fresh catch halibut dinner grilled, and I ordered a blackened grouper sandwich. Both entrees were heavily salted; my wife tried to wipe the seasoning off her filet, which was at least decent sized. My sandwich contained the thinnest, saltiest piece of fish I'd ever been served, and I only managed a couple bites before giving up. My wife's filet wasn't fully cooked, and since we weren't eating sushi-grade fish, my wife was concerned about that. When she told our waiter he barely glanced at her plate and his response was "That's cooked. Some people are just finicky about the texture." "Finicky??" Are you sh**ing me?? How about saying "I'm sorry, would you like me to have it cooked more?" She also pointed at my sandwich and said that it was so salty I couldn't eat it, and all he said was "I'll be back." At least he didn't tell me I was being "finicky". The manager came over shortly after and explained that our server told him we weren't pleased with our meal. My wife explained the issues and his response "Too salty? I know who that is. One of our guys over-salts a lot. I'll talk to him." He then apologized and offered to get us something else, but I declined and said I was done. He vaguely pointed at our food and said he would "discount it". While we waited for the bill my wife took what was left of her fish to the house cat sitting on the patio, and the cat wouldn't even eat it! I'm sorry Mr manager, but if you know that one of your employees has issues with preparing food correctly... either educate them or replace them! Don't apologize and admit you're aware of bad food coming out of your kitchen! And then the topper - our bill came and a whopping $13.50 was discounted from almost $90! He didn't even take off the full cost of my sandwich which was still sitting on my plate! We usually try to give benefit of the doubt to restaurants, but this experience was bad enough that we both agreed we will NOT return. This is a prime example of why zero stars should be allowed!
