Seafood Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
This was a great stop for us while we were in Jacksonville! The staff were excellent, especially our waitress! We loved the Seafood Gumbo, crab legs, fried shrimp and trigger fish!
We enjoyed eating at this 'off the beaten path' restaurant that seemed to be frequented by locals (that's when you know the food is good!). We enjoyed blackened gator tail as an appetizer. We ordered baked triggerfish for our main course. I had never had trigger fish previously but it's now my absolute favorite! It's sweet and mild flavored, and was cooked perfectly. The service was wonderful! Our server helped offer suggestions and gave us descriptions of the different types of fish (we don't typically eat fish). She was so kind and helpful, and the other staff we interacted with were very friendly. We felt welcomed and enjoyed our meals. Great food and great service!! They offer discounts for active and retired military!
The fried blue crab bites were super good. He ordered boiled crab because he has never ordered them. He wish he had ordered the fried. I think it's same taste at any restaurant. Not good. He loved the greens. The seafood Au Gratin would have been fantastic without the fish in it. I really liked the flavor with the crab and shrimp. Yummy. Baked potato was normal. Cole slaw really good. Hush puppies really good. Staff fantastic. Clean restroom. Beer cold. Waitress deserve ls a raise. No wait. We sat ourself :) would recommend!
5 Stars – A Must-Try Seafood Spot in Jax Beach! This was my second visit and once again, this place did not disappoint! The golden fried hush puppies and okra were absolutely on point—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The broiled grouper was tender, flaky, and cooked just right, and the cocktail shrimp? Phenomenal! Fresh, juicy, and served beautifully. I also had the raw oysters, which were nicely chilled and fresh-tasting—just the way I like them. You can tell everything here is prepared with care. If you're in Jacksonville Beach and craving high-quality seafood with a relaxed vibe, this is definitely worth the stop. Already looking forward to my third visit!
This is one of Jacksonville's best kept secrets! Where else can you get a dozen steamed or raw oysters for just 9!! With all the melted butter, horseradish, lemon, and crackers that go with it!! It was so good that we had 3 dozens!! At this time it's probably cheaper than eggs! LOL! We also had the fried mushrooms, Lump Crab Stew, and Softshell Crab sandwich with baked potato and coleslaw. They're all very good!! This place has been here for a long time now and it's showing its age. But because of the good food and great service, there's a wait line outside every now and then! Parking is easy and free. Check out their daily specials!
We were glad we arrived just after 5 PM because the place was already getting busy. On Wednesdays, they offer a dozen oysters for 9, so we kicked things off by ordering two dozen. For the mains, I had the Whole Snapper, which was cooked to perfection. My wife had the Mahi and Shrimp and ended up taking some to-go. The service was great, and overall, it was a satisfying meal. Definitely worth coming back for!
We love Seafood Kitchen! The food is delicious and so fresh, always our first stop. Servings are plentiful, staff is always pleasant and the minorcan clam chowder is super good but the hush puppies are the BEST, light and tender on the inside, not grainy.
Perfect local spot in St Augustine! The food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious! We had the gator bites and conch fritters as an appetizer, and I had the chilled seafood platter as a main. The oysters were great, the shrimp was tender and juicy and the the crab (tons of crab!) was sweet and tender. The conch fritters were pretty amazing. Lots of peppers and onions in the mix but still had that conch goodness. Our server, Christie, was perfect. Attentive without being intrusive, speedy and efficient. She said she was new, but served us like a seasoned pro. Major props to her! It was full of locals (I assume) which is a good sign. It did not disappoint. Great experience and well be back if we're in town again.
