    Cole slaw-super tangy, eww
    Tiffany L.

    My boyfriend left hungry. I ate the food, but I won't return. The restaurant is clean! The sweet tea was nice and sweet. But my boyfriend felt the fish was extremely bland and without taste or seasoning. He ordered the cod platter with a side of shrimp and fries. I ordered the cod sandwich which also came with fries. To me it was meh. When asked for a roll to go with his fish platter my boyfriend was told they could not provide toasted bread. He was given the bread, but learned it could only be toasted for the sandwiches. I swear you can't make this stuff up. The cashier did their best to resolve but nonetheless it just wasn't a place that we have to return. There are way too many other good places to get fish in Jax.

    Lobster roll
    James D.

    Jax fish fry is a local gem with absolutely fantastic lobster rolls and fish rolls. Super small menu makes ordering a breeze. Their potato wedges are absolutely stellar as well. For the money, this lobster roll is hands-down the best value for money in the city! This review pertains to the Baymeadows location, but they also have a location off of 210 in St John's county. Support local and get yourself a cod or lobster roll today!

    I went here with my grandma to try this place out for the first time. I have been wanting to try it and my grandma loves fish and chips so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to go. We ordered one of each. Cod basket, shrimp basket, lobster roll, and a chocolate moouse for dessert. Everything was so fresh and good! The shrimp was jumbo and not rubbery. The fish was great. The lobster roll was bomb! I save it for the next day because I couldn't finish it and it was still so so good! The chocolate mousse dessert, OMG melts in your melt. Tastes like heaven. I highly and definitely recommend this place! Will come back again :)

    I stopped by Jax Fish Fry for the first time on Saturday. Happy to report that it lived up to the hype! My first impression? Loved the esthetic & it was spotless I knew what I was ordering before I arrived - the Lobster Lovers Roll (Maine lobster, celery, mayonnaise, chives, & seasonings on a grilled split top potato roll). All of the rolls are served with the most unique fries I've ever had. They are closer in width to a potato chip & delicious. But the star of the show is of course, the lobster roll. I'm not a celery or chives fan but that wasn't an issue because the lobster is so lightly dressed. The roll was honestly perfect from the sweet lobster to the soft, toasted bun *Note for the Diet Coke fiends. I am a recovering DCF who only partakes in a fountain DC occasionally nowadays. They have Coke Zero as the diet soda option, so I drank tea instead.

    Lobster roll basket and fried shrimp basket

    After our travel plans were unexpectedly canceled due to a Gulf hurricane, we found solace at Jax Fish Fry. Craving that vacation-style fried seafood, we ordered a fried shrimp basket and lobster roll basket. The shrimp* were perfectly crispy, and the lobster roll--oh my! The buttery toasted potato bun held generous chunks of lobster meat. Jax Fish Fry's cozy ambiance and amazing staff made us feel right at home. The lobster roll stole the show--buttery, flavorful, and nestled in that perfect potato bun. And the shrimp? Fry chef's kiss. Lightly coated, letting the natural flavor shine through. We'll definitely be back to scratch that seafood itch! This place lives up to the hype! Everything is fresh and delicious.

    Cod and shrimp basket
    Angela D.

    Overall pretty darn good. I came with some friends for lunch and was craving some fresh seafood. I asked before I ordered if the cod was fresh or brought in frozen and they informed me that it was brought in weekly fresh. I found it nice that they bread the shrimp and fish to order. I wanted to try a couple things so I ordered the cod, shrimp, chips, hush puppies, and coleslaw. The fish was good. I do not like a lot of breading so I like the really light breading. the shrimp was well cooked and tasty. The fries had no salt which we all wanted so I asked for some packets. The coleslaw was okay but just wasn't my thing. I was bummed that the Hugh puppies tasted like frozen ones from the supermarket. They had no flavor whatsoever and I watched them just come out of a bag. My friends got a strip basket and the other got the chicken basket. One said the shrimp needed more breading so if we go back she may ask for it to be double breaded. The other friend liked the chicken but they are mass produced chicken strips out of a bag. Definitely go for the fish and have some patience because we found that they only make one order at a time so it was about 5 minutes between each of our orders so it was different having to wait 15 minutes for all of us to get our food.

    Lobster roll

    Good food, ok service. Employees were nice, but we had to go back up for missing items more than once (beer, then the ranch we ordered). Food: Good. Lobster rolls were good, some chewy pieces this time which I didn't love. Fish sandwich was yummy, shrimp was good but not great (smaller, not as flavorful as some others). Sauces as very good Environment: Nice, casual, clean.

    Clean interior
    Matt M.

    I had this placed marked for a time when I was close, well that day was today. When I looked, I saw a menu with a lobster roll for $11, but when I saw current menu it was $18. Yes, I was looking at an old menu but I soldiered on. Service was very pleasant and all questions were answered. And after I placed my order (lobster roll and fries) they pointed me to a sauce bar ......instant game changer. If you have read my other reviews you know I am going to try them all so I can report back. So guess what, here I go: Fries - nib style, like a curled thick potato chip. Perfect for scooping sauce. Jax Sauce - not got me, consistency was weird and the taste was not for me. Ketchup - it was ketchup, thick and good Remoulade - oh my gosh, SO GOOD I could bath in it. Lobster Roll - served cold, I like cold lobster, I did not like the flavor. But guess what, in the roulade sauce it was freaking awesome. The price of the lobster threw me, but the sauces were amazing. Park is a bit tricky and please get over the office strip center, it is clean and sharp inside.

    Lobster Roll w/ Onion Rings
    Russ R.

    We were in the area and found this place by searched for lobster rolls on Yelp. We WERE VERY happy with everything about this place. The service was top notch, you can tell the people working there care about what they're doing. I got the Lobster Roll because that's what I was looking for in the first place. It was exactly what I wanted. Big chunks of lobster, on a good roll with just enough sauce. My girlfriend had the Shrimp Roll and she said she lived that the shrimp wasn't breaded too much. She referred to it as "the perfect amount of breading". I tried onion rings as a side and she got the fries. After trying both, I'd definitely go with the fries next time. The onion rings weren't bad, but I liked the fries way better. We will he visit visiting this place again and soon!

    How's the lobster rolls? I'm wanting a New England style Lobster Roll.

    My wife likes them very much. Like lobster anywhere they are expensive. This is a great little restaurant. Delicious seafood. The fried cod is terrific and they have a unique way of doing their french fries. Highly recommend.

We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

We ordered our food and, for how slow it was inside, the wait felt longer than it should have been. The restaurant wasn't very busy at all, with more people sitting outside than inside. Unfortunately, most of the food came out lukewarm. My roast beef sandwich and potatoes were barely warm, like they'd been sitting for a while, and the bottom bread was completely soaked. Our daughter's grilled cheese came out with the cheese not even melted, so we sent that back along with my sandwich. The salmon and quinoa also arrived lukewarm. The fried fish was cooked too long in the fryer and wasn't great. The bright spot was the short rib tacos my wife ordered. She said those were really good and probably the best thing we had. I do want to give credit where it's due. Our server was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. He genuinely saved the experience for us and handled everything with a great attitude. Bathrooms were also clean, which I always appreciate. Overall, the experience was average. Not a top pick for me, but I'd be open to giving it another try in the future to see if things improve. Just wanted to leave an honest review of our visit.

Bang Bang shrimp tacos with fries for her and the Bonefish Grill cheeseburger (add bacon) with fries for me. The prix fixe lunches meals also provide a salad and a drink for $14.99. We started with some warm bread and oil before our bang bang shrimp appetizer came out (only one set of chop sticks - we could have used two but i made due with a fork). Next were our salads - my wife opted for the ceasar which was loaded with croutons and I had the shaved Brussel sprouts salad which had a great flavor. Our meals came as we were finishing our salad and the burger was great (half pound cheeseburger with bacon, LTO, pickles and bang sauce - grilled medium well). Super juicy and flavorful but a little salty at certain bites. My wife enjoyed her two tacos which come with bang bang shrimp on a grilled flour tortilla with cabbage and a cilantro crema. Their fries are crispy and well cooked. Our server did a great job attending to us while managing a lot of tables. Drinks were always full and she never missed a beat. We left full and remarked next time, we would skip the appetizer bc the prix fixe lunch gave us enough to eat without extra. Great option for lunch.

All the workers were so friendly and I can't wait to go back to try more unique sweets from here!
