Eggs Benedict & bagel sandwich
Andrew G.

The view is beautiful of the beach. The staff was friendly & food was delicious. Absolutely perfect way to start a morning

This place slaps. Super fun environment with cool decorations and an awesome outdoor bar area. Chips and guac were fresh and so good. Tacos are really really good and service was great. Highly recommend for a good time!

Shrimp and grits
Sarah M.

Fast service, great location! Best shrimp and grits I've had! Great for a chill beach breakfast

I had the pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, bacon on the side. Also had a painkiller drink. Everything was delicious. Waitress was super friendly and helpful and attentive. The view of the ocean was amazing, and really made breakfast a great experience.

Cheers to great food, company and SERVICE!! #lawrence

Lawrence was the absolute Best! He made our experience exactly what we needed while in town for a law conference. We are trying to come back just because his service was so amazing. Thank you for a great time and the laughs regarding the lemon drop .

Shrimp and crab florentine, cheese grits.

Great atmosphere over looking the ocean . The Shrimp Crab Florentine was spot on. Eggs cooked perfectly , stuffed with lots of shrimp. Perfect blend of crab and Hollandaise sauce . Everybody loved the cheese grits. Great staff. Btw the Bloody Mary's were excellent

The service was unbelievably great. The staff were very friendly and our waitress was very polite. The food came out fast and was very good. The atmosphere was very nice with the outside view of the beach. It's definitely a very nice place to come and enjoy the view.

Classic Shrimp n Grits
Mark D.

After a nice early AM beach walk with friends, we dropped in here for a beverage and a bite of breakfast. Took advantage of the perfect weather and a table on the outdoor covered deck to enjoy the breeze and the ocean view. With plenty of great choices on the menu, we selected the huevos rancheros (wife) and a bowl of classic shrimp and grits (me). Both were expertly prepared with generous portions and super tasty. Big salute to the chef for masterful presentation and plating of both dishes. We first eat with our eyes, after all. I also enjoyed a refreshing and delightful Bloody Mary cocktail as a starter. Can't wait to come back!

Sitting at the rail with an amazing view.

Fun breakfast spot overlooking the beach. Lots of good breakfast options. We had the crab Eggs Benedict, which were great. My daughter and her friend had the veggie omelette and the pancakes - both were excellent. They make some great Bloody Mary's as well - Jay the bartender is super nice. Good service overall though can get pretty busy for breakfast.

Balcony view.

I decided to bring my girlfriend out to Amelia beach and we stumbled on Tortugs Jacks for a good ole breakfast meal...what a great place to dine at, the restaurant sits right on the beach and it has some of the most amazing views of the beach, the service, and food were excellent, they give you a lot of food here, definitely worth coming here to eat and enjoy the beach....

The breakfast was really good! And of course sitting on the balcony is what really makes the meal.

The sign of a well deserved review is when you return to a restaurant over a year later and the…read morefood quality and service resemble excellence. Our return to Fernandina Island and The Patio discovered the same great food and terrific service provided by Kimmi. Patio is by far one of island favorites. It's obvious locals agree as a short wait for a table indicated it is truly a destination for food. Server Kimmi served up delicious fare in whirlwind speed, then kept tabs on every need. Food was memorable so we opted for the same combination from our first visit. Thank you The Patio for a great experience. From our previous visit over a year ago, read on...

The Patio at 5th and Ash has a nice patio (shocker!). However, we were confused why an upscale…read morerestaurant like this one would have plastic cups. It was a bit odd. Anyways, our server was pretty friendly, and we can't complain about the ambience. Here's what we tried: -Crab Dip: 10/10 - SOOO YUMMY! Perfect crab dip, so rich, so flavorful. -Lobster Bisque: 2/10 - This wasn't bisque, it wasn't even chowder. It was so thick and had no real taste to it. -Goat Cheese Burger: 9/10 - creamy, goat cheese was the star, overall delicious. fries were good too! -Lobster Ravioli: 7/10 - disappointing, to be honest. Sauce was great but the ravioli itself kind of tasted like frozen lobster ravioli. -French dip Sandwich: 6/10 - super salty, very savory, but very little depth of flavor. Could've used something zingy. -Chocolate Cake: 9/10 - no one can argue with a chocolate cake. I mean come on! I loved that it came out cold and dense.

First I want to say we walked in on Christmas eve. 30 minutes before they closed. We asked the…read moreserver what was fast so she could go home. She said don't worry, we are busy so we will be here a while. I heard the wings are great here so that is what I had. They were cooked perfectly and had plenty of sauce. I would she the wings are great. Our server was very attentive and did not push us to leave. ( we did get out as quickly as possible but they were still busy.). This place has been hiding behind a gas station a long time. Glad we stopped.

We placed a To-go order on a busy Saturday night, with the understanding that the atmosphere would…read morebe busy. When arriving at the restaurant, we were told that the food wasnt ready and that the message we got was automated. We waited for 45 mins. At one point, the manager stopped to ask what the names were, we told him, he went to the kitchen to find an eta, but returned to say they were working on it. 20 mins later, the when asked the waitress huffed and said the only 2 she had ready were for someone else, but was the orderwe were waiting on. So, the two food orders sat for 45 mins and no one verified the names of the two individuals waiting. Unfortunately, it didnt stop there. When we got food home the burger that was supposed to be medium well was barely cooked, cold in the middle, falling apart and the bun was soggy. In the end a 18$ meal went in the trash because it looked like bacteria sandwich. On top of that, we were missing an item. Over all, a 75$ meal was a waste. Disappointed doesnt begin to cover how gross this experience was.
