50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Fruit Cove

“Randy was friendly and helpful. Hope that's the norm and not just because I walked in with a hottie. Good suggestions on wing sauces and specials. Atmosphere is best one can expect in a strip mall. Well done.“

“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!“

“Our Angel Moms group had our Mother’s Day brunch today! Today also happened to be International Bereaved Mother’s Day! We had an amazing time. Brian was an outstanding server and even happened to know some of the kids who had passed. The food, drinks and service were excellent!! Highly recommend!“

You all are so amazing not only did they let me know live crawfish was coming in and revered me 10 pounds but totally hooked me up with a few more than what I ordered! Absolutely amazing customer service!! 10 out of 10 review for me!!“

“We went to a large group dinner with around 65 people this past weekend. I hadn't been to Whitey's in a few years, because we are seafood snobs, but after the great food and service we had, I will definitely give them another try. Kirra and Angela were amazing! We moved tables and didn't realize no one had told them. They found us and were super kind and polite. Our drinks were never empty even though the restaurant was insanely busy, and the check was ready as soon as we were ready to leave. Thanks to these ladies and the hostess, I felt safe eating off our group buffet with my food allergies.“

“awesome food,awesome ppl,good atmosphere. always clean too!“

“Gabby our server and bartender was very welcoming and personable. She was attentive is just the right amount. We came on a great night 2 for 1 drink special so we tried some holiday drinks ks the Rudolph old fashione with maple syrup and the Mistletoe margarita with cranberry and pomegranate. The old fashion was good and strong with cherries and orange segments. The margarita was refreshing a bit tart in a great way very good. We ordered the Mahi blacked platter with baked potato and creamed corn along with shrimp cocktail and fried green tomatoes. The shrimp was prepared very well and the cocktail sauce chilled and flavorful. The Mahi was fresh and delicious. All the apps and sides were good but wow that creamed corn was specially delicious with a hint of bacon. The atmosphere was lovely clean with holiday music. Nice salad bar and seating areas as well as a nice bar to sit and watch a game. After dinner we sat at the bar and chatted with the owner and other patrons. Overall a really lovely place highly recommend for the charm and sweet service. Everyone was very welcoming.“

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!

“Been in Jax for a year and finally made it to Vito's. We'll be back soonly.

Had a reservation and seated quickly. Loved the atmosphere. Dim lighting, white table clothes. Nothing off the scale too fancy. It was all very comfortable. Tables all taken, servers all over. The first thing I noticed were the servers ... the were all busy and taking care of tables. None were idle.

Started w/ house Chianti and fried ravioli. Both great ... raviolis were huge. Red sauce served with it was the house marinara. It was perfect ... and I'm a big red sauce guy. We followed with a Vito salad and a Caesar. Both the right size and the Vito dressing was good.

For entrees I had Chicken Picata. My wife had chicken saltimbocca. This was the highlight of my meal. Two lightly browned cutlets over a bed of spaghetti. Not too many capers and not overly salty which is always a risk. It was perfect! One of the best I've had. My wife had enough to take home for lunch today.

We held our ground on the bread and dessert as we are trying to watch carbs pending a wedding.

Major kudos to Anthony our server. A genuinely nice guy. Answered our questions, super attentive, always there at the right moment. The place has a new number one fan! I'll be back!

Total bill before tip [two glasses of wine, appetizer, two salads, two entrees] just over $90. Very well worth it!“

It was a group of 10 of us celebrating the birthday of one in the group. Our server Misty was awesome, she was so helpful and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with everything we ordered. Now to the food, WOW!!! everyone enjoyed the steaks, crab cakes, salads, warm bread with butter, celantro shrimp and to top it off the warm carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Yum,Yum. Thank you Misty for making this occasion so special for all of us.“

“Our bartender, Pinky, was amazing! So friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. We love coming here and having our drinks at the bar with her!“

“some people should really be ashamed of themselves i just witnessed a woman coming in the restaurant and claiming she is sick from the shrimp that she just ate and she want her money to be refunded. she claimed to feel so sick and nauseous that she maid have food poisoning and she will be going to the ER ... she was literally in the restaurant for 50 min and making a big deal out of everything... she got her money refunded and walks out to her car and puts a CIGAR in her mouth... lady if you are really that sick you wouldn't even feel like smoking... shame on you... I'm sorry for the girls in the restaurant working that had to deal with this person.. and thumbs up for staying calm... because just listening to that woman's BS made even me upset.“

“Best BBQ around !! Awesome brisket and pulled pork !! The pickle salad is also a favorite!!! Can’t wait to see you around our parts again on Philips Hwy !!“

We shared the chocolate molten cake which was delicious, can’t find the appropriate word to describe because it was the BEST we have ever had. This is our favorite restaurant.“

“We are from Maryland but live in Atlanta metro area. We planned a trip to Orange park Florida for medical reasons for our son. We also visited a family member and they recommended Ocean city seafood for blue garlic crabs. We ordered 3 trays with sides of corn, potatoes and boiled eggs. The crabs and all of the food was so fresh and absolutely delicious. We returned the very next day to get 2 more trays . We also asked if we could order some garlic crabs for pickup the next morning to take back to Atlanta with us. We returned at 11 am next morning and the owners packed us up with those delicious crabs we headed back home. Did I mention how delicious and fresh all the food was ? The butter sauce was amazing too!! Whenever we travel back to Florida we will definitely stop by and get some more of the crabs. Excellent food !! Excellent service!!“
