The food is decently good, but the service is hit and miss. Sometimes we have good service and other times they completely ignore you for 30 minutes. There were 4 of us waiting for half an hour and they didn’t even acknowledge that we were there, and it’s not the first time we’ve experienced this. A waitress walked to the people right next to us and asked if they wanted another round after we had been sitting and waiting to even be spoken to, for 20 minutes. Then a waiter was literally leaning on the bar, playing on his phone after walking past us several times, doing his best to not even make eye contact with any of us. Not sure that I’ll ever go back after feeling so unwelcome.

My husband and I are here from Atlanta visiting the Mayport RV, taking the weekend off. We were told of this place for great food. I work until 9pm, so we decided to get on down to check the place out.First, the front desk receptionist never got off her butt to greet us, not even attending the front desk!Second, the moment we stepped into the restaurant, as we passed the bar, no one said anything! We stopped by the bar to ask if we were in the right place. Bartender stated “yes, you found us” Before even sitting another lady behind the bar, “the kitchen is closed”. Bartender stated “no, they have 10 minutes” Great! I order a drink and we order food based on the recommendation of two ladies relaxing at the bar. Immediately our check was given to us. Two other patrons sat at the bar, while waiting for our food. There was also a lady and her dog there as well. Our food comes out…in to go containers! I start to unpack them. Bartender states “before you guys get settled I am about to close. You can sit anywhere else” as her hand motioned to close the gate above us! Mind you 15 minutes later after we finished our meal, bar was open and patrons were still relaxing at the bar! Also, do keep in mind all the other patrons at the bar were not treated this way, and were allowed to continue consuming their meal and drinks at the bar, even after arriving after us! As we left, the bar was still open!Point is, this experience made us feel completely unwelcome! It was as if, yes we patronized the place, but was told to get out right after! My husband is military and has served this country for 32 years, and to be treated like “unwelcome” is very unsettling. The food was amazing, but we did not appreciate the way we were treated at all!Parking: Parking is on 15th street

Service sucks, like really bad. And it's not just one person. I always tip well, but I feel like I wasted money on them enabling them to continue sucking.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn for the weekend. We decided to do lunch by the pool today. We stood at the bar for almost 30 minutes and no one acknowledged us. We finally asked if we could place a order and the lady behind the bar was extremely rude basically said they would get to us when they got to us. They took other orders from people that arrived after us. We witnessed the lady be rude to 2 other people as well. We understand they were busy, but if they wanted people to stand in a certain area to place orders they needed to say so instead of being nasty about it. A guy finally took our order of drinks and food, we got our drinks immediately and our food about 20 minutes later which was good timing onsidering how busy they were. Our food was delicious. Probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. The only complaint we had during our visit was the service. We did let the front desk know and they said we weren't the only ones who complained about the lady bartender.

Located at our hotel, the Hampton Inn, Tides was a great little place with a limited menu to get something to eat. We ate here twice and were not disappointed. Good service, hot food and good bar. The only thing we didn't like was the high top tables and chairs. We are not a fan but, overall a great little place.

I am local but like to go to this area for chair rental and tides; bartenders are always super awesome, friendly, and attentive and the food is fantastic

We stayed a couple of days at the hotel and we could see the seating area from our balcony so I had to stop in for dinner one night. I love that we were able to bring our dog, the outdoor seating was perfect. The food was okay, nothing crazy but also cooked well and came out quickly, nothing to really complain about. The service was excellent though, our server was very attentive, she checked on us so many times. We stopped by another night and sat at the bar for a few drinks (also with the pup, it was his vacation too), and the bartender was excellent. I will definitely be back to stay at the hotel and will be back to have drinks here as well.

The staff is so friendly and quick. We had a baby with us and ate here prob 3-4 nights, loved their crabby fries and conch fritters! We never got to eat outside on deck, due to storms but having the inside area was a nice touch! They had tons of help to serve, which was a nice touch giving the state we are in with being short staffed everywhere.

Love this place. Service is OK, but the beach bar feel is great.
I had a great margarita, and I loved the Shrimp Quesadillas. It is a relaxing atmosphere overlooking the ocean.

Stopped in for lunch (we were staying next door) and the seafood was really good. Mixed drinks were nice and stout, and the breeze blowing by the beach made it nice and comfortable to sit outside under an umbrella.

The drinks are strong and reasonably priced. The bartenders are great. We didn't try any food, but it smelled good. They also have terrific specials every day. The Goombay Smash and dreamscicle were especially good.
