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

The Turtle Shack is a must-stop if you are looking for a beach-type vibe that is just across the street from the ocean. It is bright, funky and fun and it is the kind of place that just sitting in there will calm the wild seas within your soul and leave within your heart the calmness of calm skies and a gentle breeze. For me, this is the kind of place that if you are going to be ordering food, look at the seafood options. With its beach vibe and ocean view, seafood is just a natural and sensible thing to order. But if seafood is not your thing, there are plenty of other items on the menu. The service is friendly and as I said, the food is definitely great. This is a great place to while away a bit of time and allow your soul to embrace the peace that sitting by the ocean can bring you. I would definitely recommend here and I will give it an overall rating of five stars. Definitely go check this place out if you are in the area or just feel like taking a ride one day to someplace different. I am confident that you will have a positive experience and a great meal. Again, I am giving this place five stars for a trily amazing place. read more

Awesome and unbelievable place located on the beach with great food and fantastic service. Over the top fish.

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

Turtle Shack - Triggerfish - Seafood Near Me - Palm Coast, Florida

good excellent & polite service nice new location in European village - it's tasty fresh seafood and interesting menu

I really love the Turtle Shack and have been riding out to Flagler for about 8 years now just to order the "Skip Burger" and French Press Coffee. Every once in a while, I have a great ride but for the most part I get caught fighting the wind, rain or cold and today was no different. Regardless of weather, the ride to Flagler is a huge stress release that soothes my soul in unimaginable ways. I think it's because the East coast of Florida is one of the most beautiful places in the state. The sound of the waves, smell of the salty air and undeveloped natural land mass is remarkable. I stumbled across the Turtle Shack one day when I decided to take A1A all the way up to St. Augustine. The restaurant is a mile or so North of the more well-known restaurants in the area. It is a very small place that you could easily pass however, you will notice its popular among the locals because it is always packed. There is limited seating available so I wouldn't recommend coming with large groups. Most of the time, I grab a seat at the bar, watch the big game and chill with the locals. Over the year's prices have increased slightly but so has everyone else's. For example, the 12oz Skip Burger used to be $12 now it is $14. Not the end of the world but dang burgers are getting expensive! Tonight, I ordered the 6oz Skip Burger with broccoli which came to $11. The burger comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheddar cheese, bacon and a fried egg with choice of side. I also ordered a pot of French Press Coffee which cost $5.50. I would say you get a good 20-22 ounces of coffee so there is plenty for the price you pay. My meal took a little longer to deliver than what I am used to (about 35 minutes). Since my last visit, I am noticing a lot of new faces so I am not sure if the kitchen staff has turned over as well. Additionally, my meal came out with fries instead of broccoli and my burger was missing the fried egg which I didn't realize until I started writing this review (dang it!). After notifying the staff I was missing my vegetable option they were quick to remedy the situation. As usual, all of the food was on point except for the missing egg. Maybe next time they will give me the hook up! The Burger was a perfectly cooked medium and very juicy. They do not press on their burgers so all the juices are there when you bite in! The burger toppings are fresh and crunchy. The Broccoli is cooked to order and dressed in salted butter, So Good! The server left the fries even though I didn't order them. The fries were a thick and crispy pre-seasoned style that were not homemade but were tasty. The entire meal came to $17.66 minus tip. I look forward to my next ride to the Turtle Shack and Skip Burger with double the egg! If you are ever in the area, give them a chance you won't regret it. read more

Super cute place! We came on a chilly Sunday at around 6 and surprisingly they weren't that busy! Husband got a snakebite with Original Sin cider (because it's a "choose your own adventure" drink. Aka you choose what cider you want with the Guinness)-Meh. I didn't think the flavors worked well together. Original sin was good on its own, just NOT with the Guinness. Recommend you using a different cider for that drink. We got the avocado egg rolls which were BOMB! Highly recommend those. Then we got their special chips and salsa which I think had mango and pineapple? Idk. Husband ordered it, wasn't impressed. Our chips were were edging on the burnt side. For entrees I got the Seared Sesame Ahi (which was literally the reason we came here-other peoples pictures looked so good!) and the Ahi tuna tacos (upgraded). My Seared Sesame Ahi tuna was easily the best I've ever had! I usually don't go for this at restaurants because SO many places really jack it up (overcook it), or the tuna is a poor quality. But wow-this was outstanding!! They really did just SEAR it-like what? 30 seconds? And you could taste the high quality fish. Truly the best I have ever had. It was such a bright beautiful red on the inside. And a choice of side was a jalapeño cilantro rice!? Um yes please!! Very happy with my food. The tuna was like a solid 5-6oz steak too! I was very full. I didn't try the Ahi Tacos but the husband said the blue cheese (that's part of the upgrade) MADE the tacos. He was very happy with them and even more impressed with the amount of tuna he got in them! The night we were there there was live music. It was an older gentleman playing the guitar. It was honestly very pleasant background music. Really set a chill vibe. I loveeeee live music like that. We had a very nice dinner :) read more

Great local find!! It is not big but service and food were excellent. There was not live music the night we went but we got there right at 5pm and didn't wait long at all. Cold beer and great food! read more

Closed. Had a fire. Heard they may open in another location. They had great burgers and prime rib nite.

First time in this restaurant, great food and servers provide great service. They are patient in helping us for our order. Me and my wife order Trigger and Blackened Grouper (well known) fish, tasty and delicious. My friend order crab cake sandwich, he enjoy it and satisfied. I you're in this area of Palm Coast, I suggest to visit place. One more thing I forgot to mention, beautiful ocean view while dining. Come and visit read more

Had great expectation's for my dinner here. I had heard great things about this place and reviews and menu seemed positive. The service and ambiance were great. However, the entrees were disappointing. Although the fish was fresh and the food came out hot, the food had no taste. We ordered 2 seafood entrees and unfortunately they were bland. Absolutely no taste at all. It was definitely edible but disappointing. I would give this restaurant another try but probably for breakfast and lunch as the hamburgers and sandwiches look great. read more

I am hesitant to tell everybody how great this place is because I don't want it to be overrun by customers... The place has excellent service, attention to detail, and great vegan selection. Right at the beach, and one of our top places to go when we are thinking about going out. read more

Great place to grab a quick bite for lunch before you head to the beach. Excellent waitstaff! read more

Turtle Shack - Seafood Near Me - Palm Coast, Florida

Someone mentioned this place to us as a must try. It was absolutely wonderful. They have about 15 tables and a small bar. Food and service were amazing. We got a couple of appetizers to share because they all looked so good! Homemade onion rings were perfect. Blue cheese chips and pirogies were to die for. Our dinners were on point. Maryland crab cakes were huge, the Asian Sesame crusted tuna with jalapeños cilantro rice and pineapple coleslaw. AMAZING and the best tuna I've ever had. The sides were just as amazing! Shrimp lo boy and fish tacos were as advertised. The 5 of us - everyone enjoyed it all!! The desserts were homemade. Key lime pie, chocolate peanut butter pie and Creme brûlée. Really a great local spot. We'll be back! read more

First impressions are important and upon first impression I'm giving 5 stars..The beer selection is amazing. I got the I-10 IPA and it was very good. Any appetizer of pirogies and and a main course of snapper was a good combination and the view is amazing. In fact I made a reservation for Saturday night before I left! read more

Turtle Shack - Meal with a view! - Seafood Near Me - Palm Coast, Florida

Unfortunately the Turtle Shack had a kitchen fire in Nov 2024. That site is permanently closed. We discovered that they plan to reopen in European Village in Palm Coast, but a local resident was not able to find a site. Hopefully that will happen in future. We certainly enjoyed their food for many years. read more

Picked this restaurant out from Yelp's cheap eats category...while traveling up the coast. We think it's a home-run. Tried the calamari, big portion, cut similar to French fries, tasty dipping sauce. I think I prefer the rings but wanted to try their style. Ordered the coconut shrimp. Huge and cooked perfectly. Would stop here again! read more

Went here Saturday around 3. They had a prime rib dinner special that I ordered. The waiter said they just took it out of the oven and it needed to rest for 20 minutes. So we ordered artichoke dip in the mean time. It was delicious with fresh hot chips. The dinner included the prime rib, mashed potatoes, broccoli, au jus and horseradish sauce. The whole dinner was spectacular. Would definitely recommend this place. They have a very upscale menu with great prices. read more

This is my favorite beach place in all of Flagler and Volusia County. I found this little place in 2014 and its my favorite ever since. They have had some of the same servers for years, and they are all hard working. Anytime we are here, my wife gets the she crab soup as an app every time. loaded with crab and full of spice and flavor. The last visit the menu has slightly changed, and I got an amazing grouper and crab bisque. It was rich and creamy also full of flavor. I have tried almost everything on the menu, but the I go for I call the Best grouper sandwich I have ever had. They offer it Blackened, Sauteed or Fried. I have had them all and all are good, but go to is Sauteed. They have a nice tarter sauce, lettuce, tomato and good bun. For sides I always get sweet potato fries or onion rings. They also have several beers on tap and a nice beer and wine menu. They make a good key lime pie and one of the servers says the peanut butter pie is her favorite. The place is small but if there is a wait, it is worth it. read more

I am the one who ordered something different from the norm for me. I ordered the mussels for lunch. They were very tasty, the bread was perfect. The only problem was that there were way too many broken ones and dead ones (didn't open). I should have sent them back, but I had some folks with me and I am weak! My table mates raved about their burgers and the fries hit a home run as usual. Next time back to my burger and fries or grow some more. read more

Good Lord is this place outstanding! If there is a better spot in Flagler I haven't found it. The crab soup is awesome! I had a special today which was Parmesan Encrusted Cobia with a nice picatta sauce. Perfectly cooked and the fish was the star for sure but man the flavor was awesome. Great view of the Atlantic .Danielle our server is outstanding. If there is better food in the Flagler area I haven't found it. This is the spot! We came back again on Friday. read more

I'm from the Chesapeake Bay Area and their crab cakes are close to home. The food is always good and the servers are always very friendly. A little off the beaten path which makes it even better. Also, they have live music every Friday night. He's quite good. Enjoy read more

The food at the Turtle Shack is off the charts. Every bite of every meal is made from the highest quality ingredients and literally melts in you mouth in an explosion of taste. The prices may be a few dollars more than you would pay elsewhere, but the food is top grade and the servings are huge! I always take enough home for a second meal or sometimes third. The atmosphere has a local beach vibe that makes you feel as if you've been coming here your whole life. The staff are friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and never hesitate to give you over-the-top personal service. Pets are always welcome on the deck and they even make sure your pet has plenty of water after a hot day on the beach. read more

- To die for Mussels in Garlic (served with small loaf of dipping bread) - TS's New England Clam Chowder has previously been great, but the portion we received, this time, had an "Out of the Can" flavor and thin/watered down consistency. - My 12 oz Burger was very good, but my Wife wasnt at all happy with her 6 oz Burger. I might have given this visit 3 stars (based on my meal and neglecting the Clam Chowder), but we were unfortunately seated with a view of the kitchen door. Sadly, any Health Inspector, worth their salt, would have taken one look and closed the place. ServSave practices were non-existent, the Kitchen trash can was over-flowing, with garbage spilling over onto the prep-table. Not to mention, the Kitchen floor was covered with trash of all sorts. At least one Waitress switched from touching themselves, to money, to food, to adding fruit to drink glasses, and picking the glasses up by the lip, without any attempt of washing their hands. Had 5-6 wait staff, running around, with only 1 or 2 even close to really serving the customers. Very concerned!!! read more

We have been to the Turtle Shack many times and it is one of my favorite places. Yesterday we went there around 3:30 for a late lunch. We waited at the bar for about 15 minutes to get a table outside which we were fine with We sat there for over 15 minutes and were not even brought menus so my son went to and asked. When they brought them they said they thought we had been helped. We also experienced a long delay getting our food. The food was good as usual It was my birthday and we were not in a burty, but if it has been another time, we would have left. I posted the review hoping the intense will see it. We will hesitate to return read more

Another great place to eat if you are in the area. I wasn't real hungry so had a fabulous soup and caprese toast. Awesomeness in my mouth. My husband had the triple tail and shrimp over grits with a bayou sauce. He said it was one of his favorite meals he has ever had. I tried it and I was right there with him. Try this place you won't be disappointed. read more

My favorite place when I visit Flagler Beach! Everything was wonderful but my favorite is the fried calamari. They cut the calamari length wise, serving thick long strips cooked to perfection! The shrimp and grits never disappoint and the service is warm, friendly and really keeps a great vibe. read more
