The only possible reason I could see to give less than 5 stars is that I might need to be rolled to my car. I've been looking for a good seafood restaurant with AYCE crab legs, I found a fantastic one. The staff at Juicy Mayport were attentive and never left us waiting for the next round of food. And the food... so good. Cooked perfectly there was not a single thing that I would have wanted to be different. We drove 45 minutes to come here and we will be back, without a doubt.

This little gem is located in an unassuming strip mall but after seeing many great reviews we decided to give it a try. We had such a lovely lunch. Started with a dozen raw oysters. They were chilled perfectly and tasty. Then we both had the weekend special seafood broil with the juicy seasoning. So yummy! Our waitress Alice was truly a professional, she predicted everything needed before even asking, answered our first timer questions and checked in just the right amount. Definitely one of our new favorite spots!

We chose a couple different things from the regular menu and we're so full and satisfied after! Everything was delicious. The spicy teriyaki wings tasted more like tabasco than teriyaki. But that was the only thing I'd say wasn't 10/10. We had a really good time and there were a lot of options! Hush puppies were delicious :)

This place is delicious! One of my favorite restaurants. The service is great and it's always a good time. Make sure to go hungry!!!

Food wasn't very flavorful, it's like they boiled everything separately and then dumped the sauce on it. You need to boil the sauce in with the seafood. Without you just have to dip everything constantly. Service was great, our waitress was very attentive and they were slightly busy so that was nice. Restaurant was a fun feeling with many different ships and ocean vibes. Also was very clean.

We've been here a few times and it's definitely my favorite. I love the new ayce options as well and they have good selection of options. We tend to come right when they open on the weekend and never have an issue getting a table. With the new option of ayce you order on papers which is pretty quick. Timing was a bit odd that we got two rounds at the same time but we did notice an influx of tables at that time too. Flavor is good and seafood was cooked perfect. We haven't had a bad experience here yet. This is one of my favorite spots.

First of all i would just like to say this was TERRIBLE experience , me & my family came for "the all you can eat ". the all you can eat is not really all you can eat .. the food was bland not seasoned.. some of my family members were tasting sweetness in their crab boil i have pictures displayed with my review showing some of things that really disappointed us. such as, my auntie ordering the fried oysters & was only brought out four oysters, or how the all you can eat menu came with rules like no sharing & whatever you don't eat you have to pay for & you can't take it home with you OVERALL I DONT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE & I MEAN THAT 0/10

Seafood is nothing special, crabs are small, shrimp is small and flavorless and previously frozen. Fried oysters were very metallic. We ordered the all you can eat seafood and it was underwhelming. They have little pieces of paper for you to write your order on (for the all-you-can-eat option) and all of our orders came out wrong. It took over 20 mins for our server to come back to our table to take our 2nd order. The Caesar salad was not ----it was iceberg with tomatoes, onions, and ranch dressing. They advertise 5 fried oysters and shrimp (per order on the All-you-can-eat menu) and only 2 came out at a time. We couldn't order a third round because there was no service at our table and after being there for an hour we were over it. We had to walk up to the front to request a check. Very disappointing for $45 a person.
If you love seafood boils, you must check out Juicy Mayport. My family typically shares a Party Tray for 4, but last night I got my own Snow Crab Castle boil with garlic butter & mild seasoning. I ate nearly every bite of it. Service can be slow, especially now they've added an AYCE option that has become extremely popular. They have a full bar including some specialty cocktails. I didn't get one this time but have previously and enjoyed them.

In from Utah... my son wanted seafood. Crab in particular. Did my Yelp search and this seemed to be the best bet. There were 5 of us and we were seated right away. It did smell like heaven inside. We started with fresh oysters. The oysters were good and we all enjoyed them. We ordered boils but I shared mine with my granddaughter. Lots of shrimp and shellfish... really good, not great. I did like the fact that you could order whatever heat you wanted with it. The service from then out wasn't very attentive. The red potato's were good and the corn ok. Decent place for large parties. Will I go there again? Doubtful.

Must've been an off night for our table or something. We did come on Monday and was rather busy which they may not be used to but 3 people in our party got the AYCE for $47 a piece I believe it is, and they came back to check on them literally once over the course of an hour. $47? AYCE? I'd expect to be constantly checked on if that's the price/the fact you can keep ordering more. Good way to keep profits high for sure. Never were asked if we needed anything. I mean anything. Had to walk up for water refills, a knife to cut my steak....alc drink refills, etc. either they want you to go once you order AYCE or they just were understaffed. No way that's how they normally operate and get those good reviews. Food all in all was solid. I just can't recommend a place where service was just that lacking. Everyone in the restaurant was looking around to make sure they weren't the only table this was happening to. All reviews say attentive staff too. Got the opposite on our visit for sure.
