Avocado egg rolls
Roger B.

Came back for a second attempt, 1st attempt was not good! This time the food was much better! I had the avocado egg rolls and my wife had the shrimp Po boy, both very tasty, fresh. Nice server as well.

Sweet potato fries.  I ate the grouper tacos. Sorry.

We had a late lunch on a Friday. Heather & Chrissie were attentive and gave great suggestions. The calamari was a huge portion. (We were so hungry, I forgot to take pics). They fry the peppers and the calamari look like fries. My hubby doesn't like peppers but really enjoyed them fried! The calamari was cooked to perfection with a delicious dipping sauce. I went with other yelpers on the fish tacos and sweet potato fries. We got grouper and it was delicious as well. The sweet potato fries are really Crispy with a sweet Chipotle dipping sauce. Hubby got the clam chowder and said it was amazing. This place is tucked into a cute shopping and restaurant area called European village with luxury condos above. Great variety of food, pubs, and cute boutique shopping. If you're visiting the area, this needs to be on your list. Ample parking next door with good signage.

Rib eye , cooked perfectly
Marie V.

Absolutely Fabulous. Nikki our server was SPECTACULAR. Sunshine flowing from her. Dinner- OMG Delicious. Every bite was soooo flavorful and bursting. Blackened Chicken with a wonderful flavoring on the linguine. Rib eye done Perfectly with mashed potatoes and string beans. Dessert WOW Cherry torte and Key Lime Pie. Musician playing wonderful soft dinner music. Absolutely Fabulous evening. Thank you

We popped into Turtle Shack for an easy Saturday night dinner, and it ended up being one of those "mostly good, one miss" meals -- which happens, even at spots we enjoy. Daniel ordered the evening special, a Stir-Fry ($25), and unfortunately it just didn't deliver. It was very rice-heavy with only a small amount of meat and veggies, so the portion didn't feel worth the price. The Thai-style sauce had an off flavor, and as he ate, a faint burnt taste came through -- almost like the bottom of the pan had scorched and the flavor carried through the dish. Not terrible, just disappointing. Daniel said he'll stick to the dishes he already knows and likes here. Ella stayed loyal to her usual Turtle Shack Chicken Sandwich ($17). She's picky, and this is the one menu item she consistently enjoys under $20, so it remains her go-to. I ordered the Bacon & Blue Chips (about $14), which were still a win. Shareable portion, plenty of blue cheese, and that balsamic drizzle is chef's kiss. Easily the highlight of the night. Service was casual but attentive, which fits the vibe. Even on a busy Saturday evening, we were seated right away. The relaxed outdoor atmosphere was ideal for dinner with our 14-lb Maltipoo. They do have indoor seating, but we've always chosen outside -- the weather and courtyard energy make it an easy yes. Live music in the center of the Village added a nice touch. Parking at European Village is usually easy, but expect a short walk. You can drop off closer if needed, but one way or another, plan on a little stroll into the courtyard and to whichever spot you choose. We've been here many times and we'll keep coming back -- it's the kind of casual place where even your dog settles in like a local. Just maybe skip the stir-fry special next time. And if you haven't explored European Village itself, it's worth the wander: American, Indian, Italian, and Japanese/Sushi options, plus boutiques (clothing, jewelry, art), bars, and even a cigar lounge.

Shrimp Poboy

If you are looking for a local restaurant with great service, and great food look no further. This restaurant has a little of everything. Whether it's the upscale entrees or the simple meals you crave. We were a party of five and were greeted immediately and seated quickly. We had a lovely waitress who was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. The restaurant is decorated with local art and it's available for purchase. The crab cake dinner is definitely a must try at a 1/2 pound, it's filling and delicious. The steamed mussels were great and a perfect amount for a simple dinner even though it's an appetizer. The scallops were cooked beautifully and served with a choice of sides. The shrimp poboy is massive and filling. This is a one stop shop, with plenty of parking, plenty of food and lots of charm.

They have now opened a temporary location at the European Village next to the 5th Element Indian Restaurant in Palm Coast. I think there used to be a distillery there. This location will be open until the repairs are completed at the original location on Flagler Beach and may even become a 2nd location. Same original menu and the place was already getting packed!

Many family memories made at their old location on the beach! Can't wait to visit their new location next time we are in town.

11% yummy beer.. drink 5 mic ultras or getter done in one can!?
Jodi M.

What!!?? A cool little place hidden in the center of a condo complex !!? Love the vibe, the happy employees , the tunes & the food!! We just stopped for a snack .. had a beer ( which due to their extensive list took awhile) and we ordered the smoked wings & calamari! Both were excellent !! The calamari is thick & tender & looks like French fries ... do not let the look deceive you .. it's tender & amazing! Who knew calamari didn't have to be eaten with tentacles and a rubber like texture!!?? Take a turn off the coast and come here!! You won't regret it..

My wife and I had dinner at the Turtle Shack in the European Village in Palm Coast FL the other evening. A few details why I give a 4 star rating. The picture attached should explain the first reason. Our food was out of this world good. Wifey had the blackened Mahi sandwich. Perfect cook on the fish and the seasoning was nice a spicy. I had their signature chicken sandwich. Loved it, love their coleslaw too !!!! Second reason for the 4 stars was our server/bartender Teresa. She was very busy but, very attentive !!!! Very good at her craft !!! Why not 5 stars then ????? We thought $13 for a glass of house wine was a bit much. Especially in our area. If the management sees my review perhaps you could re-think that price point.

Nice atmosphere, food was ok but was lacking in flavor. Would return, but would probably stick to appetizers and drinks. Staff were friendly and attentive.

The food is always great I prefer seafood so I got the shrimp and grits sooooo delish. Our server was Ashley great service very attentive and knew the menu.

We make this one of our regular choices when we do go out. Always great food and service.

The corn fritters with the raspberry glaze are an absolute must-order. The sweet glaze pairs perfectly with the crispy fritters, and I could easily eat them again and again. We also shared the gator tail appetizer, which was cooked perfectly and made a great starter. I ordered the seafood platter with flounder bites, clam strips, and shrimp. Everything was fresh, generously portioned, and cooked just right. My husband ordered the catfish and asked if they could prepare it blackened instead of fried. They were happy to accommodate, and it was an excellent choice, it was incredibly flavorful. The collard greens were another surprise favorite with their delicious, slightly sweet flavor. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and we loved that there was a live band playing outside in the back. It made for a great evening. The only small suggestion would be to do a little more mosquito control in the outdoor area. It is July in Florida, so the mosquitoes were pretty intense, but that's certainly not enough to keep us from coming back. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area. If you're looking for a great local spot with delicious seafood, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere, Hammock Grill is absolutely worth the visit!

Since moving to Florida from New Jersey, I've definitely missed having easy access to good…read morePortuguese food. My friend Angela suggested we try Palm Harbor Grill, where she's had good experiences in the past. The restaurant is located in a strip mall alongside other spots and appears to have been recently renovated. Inside was clean, organized, and nicely decorated. Our waiter, George, was friendly, down-to-earth, and very accommodating. He also spoke Portuguese, which made it easy for Angela to communicate. The menu was just okay. While it offered traditional Portuguese dishes, it also included Italian options, which felt a little out of place for a restaurant presenting itself as Portuguese cuisine. We started with the octopus in garlic sauce 5/5. It was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. Easily the highlight of the meal. The shrimp in garlic sauce, served with Portuguese chips and white rice, was a bit of a letdown 2/5. There was very little sauce for the shrimp to soak up, and the flavor just didn't hit the mark. The biggest disappointment was the grilled Portuguese sausage 0/5. It was fatty, cold when served, and honestly inedible. George tried three times to warm it up for us. What made it more frustrating was watching other tables receive theirs flambéed tableside. Ours came out pre-cut and at what felt like refrigerated temperature. When we asked why ours wasn't served the same way, we were told that presentation style costs an additional $6. Really? I had the sangria, which was enjoyable though slightly on the sweeter side 3.5/5. Overall, I truly wish this experience had been better, especially considering the drive to Palm Coast from Jacksonville. I was hoping for a taste of home, but unfortunately, it fell short this time.

So, that explains the delay in food coming out of the kitchen. Understandable. Anyway, our server, Corrina was friendly, informative and professional. The initial draw to bring us in was their $14.95 dozen oysters on Sundays!!! So, we started with the oysters, a piping hot clam chowder ($6.95) and a Beach Hippie can of beer ($6). No brews on tap at this place but they do have a full bar. The special for the weekend looked good but it sold out while we were there and was erased from the chalkboard . Next up we ordered the Salmon dinner ($26.95) which was an excellent piece of fish and the parmesan topping was delicious and it comes with a salad and 1 side. We also ordered the Broiled Platter ($39.95) that came with a 5 oa Maine Lobster tail, 5 large shrimp and 2 jumbo sea scallops. Well, the lobster tail was overcooked and tough (Corrina quickly put in a request to get another made) the scallops were not by any means "Jumbo" but the shrimp was quite nice. The wait was so long between our appetizers and entrees that I had to request a cup of ice to keep my Yuengling beer ($4) cold that I had ordered to go with the entree. So, over $111 lunch for 2 (before the tip) on a Sunday afternoon.
