The Golden Lion Cafe

Fish n' shrimp combo entree. Very underseasoned and underwhelming. Best part of this place is the sand bar vibe and ocean views. I would not get dinner or food next time just drinks. Didn't have a chance to check out live music though. We went on a Thursday night.

Worst experience! Asked to be seated inside and they refused. Claimed they had a large party going on. Sat us at a little bitty table that you could barely get 2 plates of food and drinks on. I order chips and salsa and the chips were like rubber! There were a couple guys "trying" to sing. Not my cup of tea

The hosting people are very rude. Had us move 3 times from one place to another and still couldn't order food or drinks. I would never go there again or recommend it

We were heading to JAX airport from Daytona and wanted to try local food near the beach. Place has a fun vibe and overall very pleased with food and service. The coconut shrimp was very good, the onion rings were good but not made from scratch.

My wife got a very nice super fresh salad with crumbled Bleu cheese dressing topped with a beautiful blackened corvina filet on top. I chose the corvina plate with asparagus and sliced potatoes. Overall fun stop, and we would go back if we are in the area. They clearly have been in business 32 years for a reason.

Very friendly and fast service. All dishes tasted delicious. The prices were very fair. Live music was great and we really liked the location right on A1A with an ocean view ?

Happy that they gave back to the community by selling their Key Lime Tartar sauce & donating to local food banks
Listening to a band, eating dinner w an ocean view & breeze. It doesn't get any better than that!

I went to this place with friends 8/23/24. I ordered fish and chips. The food was served with 10 min, but fish and chips was so oily I could not eat it.
the waitress offered to let me order something else , but my stomach was upset from the little I did try to eat. so I spent the next few hrs back at the hotel bathroom..
1st and last time for me, you decide for your self go try it.
