I had the best Margarita at Turtle Shack that I've ever had! Really great, the food is fantastic & European Village is beautiful at night. Great service too. read more

We went to turtle Shack when my son came to visit . It is beautiful, at their new location. We all had really good food and our server Krissy was amazing! read more

Went there for cocktails. Tried four different cocktails in the group. Literally every cocktail tasted off. "Pretty in pink" tasted like a vomit flavored Bamboozled Jelly Belly Jelly Bean. Maybe the bartender isn't a bartender? Prime rib on prime rib fries tasted off. The server was awesome and friendly though. read more

We eat here at least twice every year when we vacation in Flagler or St. Augustine. It is a tradition that we started about 10 years ago and we are never disappointed. The food is always excellent, and the service is phenomenal every single time. The beer and wine list is excellent and offers rotating local drafts on tap. We are addicted to the mussels appetizer (Soak that bread in the broth - you'll thank me later) and the blackened trigger fish entree. One of us usually gets a special to try as it is always a winner and something unique. We also enjoy the prime rib when it is available. The pineapple poppy coleslaw deserves a special mention as it is so delicious and refreshing. We miss the wooden tables in the screened in porch, but the storms over the years forced them to renovate. The restaurant overall has an OG beach shack vibe and relaxed atmosphere and has something for almost everyone as they offer casual sandwiches to higher scale entrees. Also - definitely kid friendly (well behaved kids I should say as a courtesy to other patrons.) Turtle Shack always delivers! read more

It's shack food. Grouper sandwiches, burgers and more, but done very well. We went for lunch and were a bit confused by pictures - we thought it was a stand alone (I guess that picture was from Flagler Beach), it's in the "European Village." We were a bit skeptical, but it was busy - which is a great sign. Lots of teamwork going on, the hostess seating was also waiting table and same with the bartender. The service was great, the food was great and all with a friendly locals atmosphere - we'll be going again! read more

Excellent little place on the beach. The pierogis were excellent. Got them fried by recommendation. Never had them that way- like a pierogi egg roll. Anyway- tasty. The grouper and crab bisque was addictive. Loved it! I decided to try the Trigger fish. I ordered it blackened with rice and slaw. Just a great meal! The fish is flakey and kind of hard to eat, but really mild. So good! The coconut shrimp were bomb! Perfect! The report on the burger was great too. If we come back to Flagler Beach, we'll be back for sure! read more

Driving towards home on the A1A and saw this cute little establishment! I'm all about finding a little holes in the wall. This place fit the bill perfectly! We sat outside, so we could enjoy the afternoon breeze. Super sweet, waitresses, and hostess. I had a delicious cider and the boys had beer. I'm always in the mood for fish anything, so I ordered the grouper tacos. WOWZA!! Everything about them was delicious! Chicken sandwich was juicy and tasty, and the fish and chips were cooked perfectly! Definitely will be back when we are cruising up the A1A. read more

Went for an early supper with some girlfriends. This was the first time I've been to turtle shack in the evening. It was packed, but it was cozy and friendly. The food was delicious. A friend who was vegan and gluten-free ordered a Portabella mushroom burger without the bun and they let her substitute the sides so all of her dietary restrictions. That was very nice. They had a nice assortment of fish dishes, including triggerfish, which is kind of rare to find on the menu . Delicious jerk chicken tacos. Yep, I ordered chicken even though it's a seafood restaurant. I was very happy with my choice for a small up charge. We were allowed to swap out our regular sides for plantains and they were fabulous! I would recommend this place. I hope they keep plantains on the menu because they cooked them to perfection! read more

This place had the best Blackened chicken pasta I have ever eaten!!!! A must if you dine there! read more

I wasn't a fan of the fish and chips because the batter was dry. The soup was pretty good and flavorful; however, the chicken Philly was dry and didn't have too much flavor. I really enjoyed the view here though, it's right across from the beach and a nice spot for lunch. read more

The lightly blackened grouper tacos upgraded are the way to go! (Got mine minus the jalapeño and tomato). They were so so good! My husband got the trigger fish blackened and he wished he had gotten it lightly blackened because it was good but it just had a little too much seasoning for his taste. Another in our party got The lightly blackened grouper and he said it was good. The pineapple and poppy seed slaw is excellent. The seasoned fries are good too. There was an incident with the tacos but it was quickly resolved and they were so considerate! Everyone there is so friendly. It's a nice little place and we are glad we stopped in. The reason for only 4 stars.. so the chairs where we sat felt like they were gonna fall through and were uncomfortable, it was hot inside, we asked for refills but never got them. (May have been because we asked a staff member other than our wait person) but in our defense it had been a while since we saw her (she seemed very busy that day). read more

Great service! I had the A1A Mushroom Swiss burger. Outstanding. Looking forward to trying more.

Really delicious coleslaw and fries. Great sauces. Loved the coconut shrimp. My daughter loved the mac and cheese and fries. Great beer menu. Live entertainment. Super friendly and efficient service. This place is a gem for sure! Can't wait to return on my next visit to the area. read more

Location was amazing, the hosts were a little overwhelmed during the busy time. Calamari was undercooked, the server was very nice but food could have been better. read more

Grouper sandwich was very good as was the cole slaw. Service was very prompt and friendly . Atmosphere was lively but easy to converse at the table. I would go back. Hard to get the love shack song out if my head read more

Good atmosphere - great service with attention paid to customers - good food - recommend the mahi mahi sandwich and mahi tacos

Would have been a 5 as I had the best Clam Chowder since moving here. Only thing there was no potatoes in it. Service was great. Atmosphere very nice. read more

Have had this on our list to try and stopped for lunch yesterday after a little beach time at Matanzas Inlet. We were not disappointed! Friendly service from Matthew and the rest of the staff - Matthew recommended a great Cabernet and let me taste before I committed - much appreciated! Hubs started with the clam chowder which was excellent - I had to sample a few spoonfuls as well. For main course, he had the peppercorn ahi tuna with a blueberry teriyaki sauce and said it was amazing and perfectly cooked (he was leery about the blueberry sauce but said it worked nicely!). I had the coconut shrimp - delicious and nice and "coconutty!!" - also had the pineapple poppyseed coleslaw (not a coleslaw lover but this was quite good) and we both had the double stuffed potato. Even though we were stuffed, once we heard they made their desserts in house, we opted to try the peach cobbler - soooo gooood! Great beachside little restaurant and look forward to returning! read more

Two parties that arrived after us were seated before us, got their food and left before we got our food. The food was not good - burger was lacking mushrooms, shrimp was burned not blackened, fries were weird and green beans were canned. One waitress was working hard to serve all tables; all other employees were lame and customer service sucked. read more

My 2nd review, First one was 3 years ago when I was a tourist, now I'm a local and still a fan! Menu Selection - 5 Service - 5 Food - 5 Ambiance - 5 if you are outside and 4 if you are inside Loved our lunch visit today. It was a chilly day so we ate inside. Hubby got a burger and fries, I just wanted some freshly made crab soup and a double stuffed baked potato. Everything was soooo good. The soup was creamy and crabby in the best way. The potato was on point. See my pictures, the proof is there. Hubby loved his burger and fries. Everything fresh! read more

We ordered the blackened grouper with fresh vegetables and the jumbo sea scallops with fresh vegetables. The grouper was soggy, tasted like it was defrosted in a microwave. The fresh vegetables were cut green beans that were grey and out of a can. The scallops were tiny and most likely not real scallops. What a waste. read more

This restaurant is a two star at best. Small portions, loud music, noisy, long wait for food and crowded conditions. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Had lunch her touring the area. Coconut shrimp, mahi tacos, burgers is what we ordered. Nice view of ocean. Service was ok and food pretty good. Typical menu for this area. I'd come back. read more

I'll start w service and view. They were great! The servers are friendly and you cd tell they knew all the locals and the view is fantastic. They are directly across from the water. Only a small amt of outside seating which was a bummer. Lots of options on the menu. The plus was lots of seafood and veg options. The downside was that there wasn't a ton of flavor. It was good but not great. Seafood has so many options for seasoning but they didn't seem to take advantage of it compared to many other restaurants. For a weekday lunch it wd work and I'd be full but other than that I wd probably try some others in the area read more

On our way back from St Augustine we like to take the A1A. This place is right off the road with a great view of the Atlantic. When the cars were not passing by you could actually here the waves crashing on the beach. We started with some clam chowder. Very tasty. The cup was a nice portion size as well. Next we moved on to the mains. I had read the reviews about their 12oz burgers so I had to have one of those. I got a standard one with white American cheese and LTOP. Huge! Next time I will get the 6oz but it was so good. Tasted like they have a grill outback. Flavors were spot on. Deb ordered the jalapeno Cilantro lime linguini. Delicious and lots of it. We actually had it for dinner too. The flavors were intense and the heat was just right. Sliced jalapenos add a nice kick. 5 stars is well deserved here. I know now why they have so many good reviews and have been recognized locally as one of the top places to eat. We plan to make this a regular stop when we were up this way read more

The outside is a shack but inside is nice, clean, great service and the food is fresh ingredients and served hot. Highly recommend family of four. read more

Consistent food and friendly staff - can't go wrong with the coconut shrimp and the crab cakes; sit outside if you can, gets a little loud inside when busy. Parking can be a little difficult but the seafood is fresh and it's a great spot if you're looking for a casual dine. read more

Turtle Shack - Coconut shrimp, French fries, and coleslaw - Seafood Near Me - Palm Coast, Florida

Attentive service. Friendly employees. However found the food just average at best. Calamari was a "C", burger no flavor, without condiments bland, no real taste, sad because when on the beach burgers were great, again a "C", fries average as well. 10 bucks cocktail good but not a strong pour. Wife ordered clam chowder which was very good. read more

Great food. Great menu and good service. Nice atmosphere. Ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and it was very good. Will definitely go back there. read more

We stopped here by accident and boy am I glad. You can sit in side or outside where you can hear the water in the background while you eat. That is a huge plus for me as I do not live by the water. Our server was so nice, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. She brought our drinks and food out in a timely manner. She also gave us good recommendations on what to try. She did a great job. read more

Had the grouper tacos with the added "works" which was a very strange yet wonderful combo of things like blue cheese, jalapeños, soy reduction, avocado and more. Satisfying and would order again. Also had the key lime pie as we're doing a "key lime pie" crawl and trying different key lime pie around the state. This is the best one so far. Service was some of the best ever as everyone who worked there was extremely friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back. (Want to add that the place is very, very clean which is greatly appreciated. No sticky tables or menus! :) read more

Our friends were in town visiting and discovered this place. It is officially my new favorite spot. I am not a seafood person by any means but I tried both the fried mahi and trigger fish and they were amazing. Everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. Will definitely be back... again and again.. also the service was fantastic. read more

Closed do to fire! Don't know when it will reopen. Was a nice place to eat. Always every crowded.

This is a nice little hidden gem! Everything was fantastic. We got the triggerfish blackened and asked for a side of the salsa verde sauce. Amazing. The twice baked potato was awesome. The crab and grouper bisque was probably the best dang soup we have ever had! We can't wait to come back and try the other menu offerings l! read more
