50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Jacksonville

“JL’s has been a staple to my Navy family since the early seventies. We moved from Guantánamo Bay Cuba to Jacksonville.. Dad 95 years old and I had another great dinner! Liz, took care of us tonight, she went over and beyond the call of duty! I told her I wanted to get a new t-shirt when we finished dinner. We place our order and next thing I know she brings out several T-shirts for me to choose from! That’s, that extra little touch that goes a long way!“

“As always, their food, vibe, professionalism, and service were top notch. Our first night out in a while, and as usual, JCF exceeded in delivering an amazing atmosphere. The cooks, servers, and staff were, as always, quick, thorough, and the food was delish. Ibelieve I've had nearly everything on their menu now and it never is less than excellent! Quite likely our top 3-5 favorite nationwide! Easily could be number 1 with great competition. If you want amazing local food, this place is the spot. Thanks as always, y'all!“

“I love going to this store/ Rahm, Derica, Fabio and Shiela make sure your delicious food is to your taste and it is good. The staff treats you with excellence. I eat here a lot. The store is imma“

“It's all about Matt! Food: My husband and I had Fried Catfish and Cajun fries. Great! Place: Very nice. Pleasant atmosphere. Service: Extraordinary! Server: Matt. This is where I get into details. Everything about this place was pretty much like any restaurant we have eaten at. But, the service is what separates one location from another. Our server Matt was the point man on this and he has it in spades. He never missed a beat. He gave his real recommendations on what dishes are good and which ones are great. He kept our glasses filled, constantly making sure our table was clean. Always stopping by to make sure we were fine without being overbearing. He paid close attention to what everyone (we were a table of 8) wanted. And the whole time he smiled and presented himself as someone who loves their job. I would go back to Cajun Crab just for him. Great service. He is why I give this place a 5-star. Thank you Matt.“

“The food is 5 star!! The Service is a little slow, the App will tell you that your order is ready for pick up but you have to wait an additional 10 to 20 minutes to get it. The atmosphere is on par with restaurants of it's caliber. I'm a repeat customer!!“

“We ate here for a late dinner. We ate a gyro and shrimp fettuccine alfredo. I prefer to over season and add more salt when I prepare my food at home. Still, the food here is really good not over seasoned or salty was delicious after I added some table salt. Not bad at all... clean and relaxing atmosphere and great customer service. At the end the girl behind the counter asked me how was it and I really appreciated how attentive she was. I will visit again I will try and kabobs next time.“

“Food took a long time to come out while getting lunch with my co workers.. everybody food came out & they ate as I sat and waited. All to be given warm/cold Mac and cheese (nasty) beans and rice when I ordered pilaf rice (I don't even eat or like beans)!and was told in a snobby way...we don't have pilaf rice any more.... SO WHY IS IT IN THE MENU & WHY WAS IN NOT TOLD THAT WHEN I ORDERED!?? smh Due to how long my lunch break is and how long it took my food to come to ME. I had no time to replace my order which was all wrong.. my order:;Fried stuff flounder, Mac n chz and pilaf rice. I got: Baked stuff flounder(which was more chz and "stuffing"than fish) warm/cold Mac n chz and beans with rice.. Will Not Be Back!“

“We had such an amazing experience at this family-owned seafood restaurant! You can truly taste the quality in every bite. The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right.

The portions are very generous, definitely worth it. From the crispy fried mushrooms and shrimp to the perfectly prepared fish sandwich loaded with fresh toppings, everything was delicious and made with care. Even the sides were amazing.

What really stood out was that homemade, welcoming feel. You can tell this place takes pride in what they serve. If you’re looking for high-quality seafood, good service, large portions, and that warm family-owned atmosphere, this is the spot.“

They accommodated for all of our needs including one of us with a horrible sea food allergy. Everything went so smoothly. We all had an amazing time. I cannot stop raving about this restaurant and the staff. On top of all of this, the food was so delicious.“

And there was NO ONE trying to STOP ppl from coming in! It made ME & My 71 yr old aunt very UNCOMFORTABLE! NO ONE was practicing social distancing EXCEPT US!!“

“been going since they first opened. love the crabs here“

“OMG this was amazing! I thought it was just going to be some cheap takeout place when we drove by based on the building, but decided to give it a try. It's like super fresh perfectly seasoned fish for fast food prices. I don't get it. Way better than any fish I've ever had before. I would totally go out of my way to go here again if I didn't live an hour away!

It's bedtime and I'm literally still dreaming about the fish I had for lunch 😂. Mmmmm

The fries were crispy and thick and soft. The tartar sauce is really good. The honey mustard tastes like cinnamon, which was just a little weird. But I can't wait to get a chance to go back again“

“One year ago we lost a very dear friend, co-worker, family member and loved one! We went to seasons 52 to celebrate his life and brought with us (his ashes). The staff at seasons 52 town center Jacksonville Florida was amazing and accepted the situation as if he was there! From the bar tender Michael who served him a drink to the receptionist who Renee who made us fell very welcome and treated our friend with respect and dignity to our waiter Blake who also went the extra mile to make our experience exceptional! We would like to recognize these people for helping us make our friends night out so very special we will be back every year because of them and the service, not to mention the food was amazing! Thank you!“

“The chicken livers are great!“

“Awesome Seafood …. Great Waitress!!!“

“We had a work 2026 New Year's Eve party at Island Wings on Southside Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. I worked with Rashad Graham, the catering manager and our waiter named Jared. They were FANTASTIC!!! Every step of the way in planning, Rashad was there and ready to help and give suggestions. When I arrived, early, for the party they already had everything set-up and ready to go. Rashad came and met me and introduced me to Jared. They had everything planned. Jared was assigned only to our group for getting cocktails. He was amazing, taking care of close to 35 people and no one was ever searching and searching for him. He remembered names and faces. The food was delicious and there was SO MUCH! They supplied boxes and we all took home some food. I have to say, this was one of the BEST parties we have ever had! Will be looking to them again for a other party in the future.“
