About Barbara Jean's

Barbara Jean's is a popular restaurant in the Glynn County area, known for its delicious and generous portions of food. The menu offers a variety of options, including sandwiches, fish, and turkey, which are highly praised by customers. The fries are excellent, and the red beans and rice are particularly noteworthy. Many customers also enjoy the grilled tuna and the shrimp and grits, which are favorites among diners.

The service is generally good, although it can be slow at times. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, which many appreciate, especially when visiting the beach. The restaurant is not considered upscale, but it is a place where customers can relax and enjoy a satisfying meal.

The crab cakes are a standout dish, described as "spectacular" and "having no filler." The variety bread basket, featuring pumpkin bread, sweet jalapeño cornbread, and wheat rolls, is another highlight that disappears quickly. The chocolate dessert, known as "Chocolate Stuff," is a must-try for those with a sweet tooth, as it is described as "fantastically rich and tasty."

The restaurant offers a great experience, with wonderful food and service. They have covered outdoor tables with ceiling fans for dining with pets, and a big variety of food and drinks are available. The restaurant is proud of its crab cakes and she-crab soup, which are both delicious, and the vegetable sides are also exceptional, with the stewed tomatoes being particularly noteworthy.

We have been eating at Barbara Jean’s in Ponte Vedra for about 12 years when we visit our son in Jacksonville, but we’re terribly disappointed after our experience tonight. We weren’t acknowledged for 15 minutes & had to ask someone if our table had a waitress before a server came to our table. After receiving our drinks & ordering food, it took 45 minutes to get our food. My food was cold, but we had waited so long with 2 small children, that I just ate it. Our server was...read full review
