“ I got the bam-bam shrimp special for lunch. The shrimp were delicious and cooked perfectly! They had that snap good shrimp get when they are cooked to perfection. Great place! Will return! ”
“ Stopped off of 95 on way back to SC and had a great lunch. Super friendly staff and wonderful food. Great portion sizes. Highly recommend! ”
“ Unassuming place with friendly staff, good food and reasonable prices. We arrived just before it became crowded on Sunday for lunch. The menu is extensive so I recommend reviewing ahead since you order at the counter. They write your order number on your cup and bring your food to the table. Fountain drinks you fill yourself but also staff offer to refill during your meal. Everything we ordered was delicious and anything that was fried tasted like it was fried in separate, clean oil. Golden brown and no residual taste from the fried shrimp, fried catfish, regular fries, sweet potato fries and hush puppies. My stuffed flounder was good, different with the topping but still good. Hidden gem and we will definitely be back! ”
“ What a great find this weekend in Junior's Seafood!! Great friendly staff, quick service, casual atmosphere and...from me, a total seafood snob from Md, excellent seafood. The food here rivals and exceeds most that I've had in Jax...anywhere. You order at the counter, they write your order number on your cup and bring it to your table. While you eat, the attentive staff constantly checks on you to see if there's anything you need. Drinks are refillable and they offer a great mix of Pepsi products and tea to choose from. This place is a local favorite and for good reason. It's excellent. Fried food is good. You could say it's tough to mess up but this place takes it next level. You can just tell that they time everything to perfection and use only fresh clean oil. The fires, the fritters, the catfish perfect. The Mac and cheese was simply THE BEST I've had anywhere. The flounder and grilled shrimp my wife ordered were cooked and seasoned well. I'm an Old Bay guy but this was the next best thing I've had and didn't disappoint. Our bill for all of this came to just over $47 and that is amazing given what we ordered and the portions we had. I highly recommend you give this place a try. It's right off 95 and you won't be disappointed. ”
“ we came on a monday at 7:30 and had no wait! i got the mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and they were very tasty! crispy and a strong cheese pull 8/10. for my meal i got the mahi mahi with grilled shrimp. they were both tasty but the fish was a little dry and the shrimp were smaller than i expected. for my sides i got the fried squash. SO YUMMY 10/10. i also got rice pilaf that was okay 7/10. friend got the fishermans choice of fried catfish and loved it!! would get it again 8/10. we got hush puppies as well that were a little disappointing. too crispy and not enough corn flavor. 7/10. overall service was EXCELLENT and we would go back! ”
“ Awesome local spot someone referred me to near the zoo. Just got a salad since I can never decide and then I noticed they have really good specials. 17 bucks for the dinner special with two sides and a drink. Excellent service and cool people, like someone said you feel at home. Food in the South is all good, the stereotypes don't lie, I'm from California and my old pastor was right they just have better seasonings here. Even this breadstick was fire. I think it's more butter too. Butter is good for you. I'm a health coach so I know what I'm taking about. ”
“ First, I need to give a shout out to Tammy, who made us feel like family on our first visit. But it was not just her, we I reacted with a number of the staff here and they all made us feel very welcome. Cheese Grits - we are in the south and these grits are good. Lima Beans - I love Lima beans, I did NOT like these. Really salty with salted pork cubes. Sweet Potato Mash - healthy, delicious Hush Puppies - WOW, love these hush puppies. Fried shrimp - get whatever sides you want, but get the fried shrimp. Lightly battered and fried, so good, really so so good. Grilled shrimp - not much flavor, see my comments on the fried shrimp. Key Lime Pie - came out frozen, but it was pretty good. Out of the normal traffic, but only 8 minutes from Hecksher. ”
“ Found this gem through feedback from my fellow yelpers. And I have to say they did not get it wrong. Staff were friendly and warm. Portions sizes were large and the fried shrimp was out of this world. The restaurant is nothing fancy but is a great casual place to enjoy Florida's fried seafood. Would highly recommend ”
“ The fried shrimp is so good! The green beans are a bit salty for me but the flavor is still good. As always, a good meal is determined by no need for condiments to make food taste good. As usual the service is efficient and I was lucky enough to arrive before the crowd! ”
