About Jones Fish Camp

Jones Fish Camp is a classic family-owned restaurant that has been serving a legendary, time-tested southern dining experience since 1952. This historic restaurant proudly stays true to its roots by preparing everything completely from scratch using the original recipes. Known for scratch-made dishes like catfish fillet meals and famous tartar sauce, the food is top-notch, not greasy, and the batter is perfectly seasoned. The hand-breaded seafood is cooked precisely to order and arrives at your table steaming hot and completely fresh. While the entire menu is incredible, the absolute stars of the show are the phenomenal fried perch, tender baby shrimp, and flawlessly crisp whole flounder dinners. Every platter comes loaded with generous portions, golden fries, and their signature hush puppies. What truly sets them apart is their incredible, pickle-based tartar sauce and their unique, tangy sour slaw, creating a flavor profile that is unmatched. The atmosphere is welcoming, laid-back, and features a cozy, casual, old-school aesthetic with a rustic aesthetic that makes you feel right at home. Customers praise the fast, deeply attentive, and genuinely warm southern hospitality from the hard-working staff. The restaurant is not fancy, but it is clean and spotlessly maintained, making it a must-visit spot for families. For a fun bonus, the older building features a beautiful outdoor pond with resident ducks, giving kids and families a wonderful view while waiting for their meals. It is a highly respected, deeply nostalgic culinary landmark that captures the real heart and soul of traditional North Carolina fish camp dining.
