    Cole slaw-super tangy, eww

    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.

    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 :)

    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 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 was great, fries were fresh and tasty. Restaurant is super clean and inviting. Service was fast and attentive.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    While on the southside of Jacksonville, Florida, I stumbled upon this hidden gem in my search for a nice fried fish lunch. Jax Fish Fry like to boast that they bring a bit of the North to the South. What they mean is that they are bringing an upstate New York fish fry to Jacksonville, Florida. The restaurant is located in a nondescript business plaza that seems more an office complex than an actual shopping plaza and I have driven by this shopping plaza countless times and have never noticed Jax Fish Fry and honestly, I am a bit sad that I have not been coming here longer. The ordering process is pretty straightforward. You go up to.the counter, place your order, give them your name and when the food is ready, they call out your name and you retrieve your food. As per the friendly woman's suggestion, I went with the fried cod basket, which came with french fries and coleslaw. There were three of us and the others ordered the lobster roll and a chicken tender basket. I have to tell you that this was an incredible meal. My cod was fried to perfection and the french fries were some of the best that I have ever had. The coleslaw was alright, though nothing special. My friend who had the lobster roll said it was decent, but not great. Pricing was good. My cod basket, which came with two pieces of fish, french fries and coleslaw, was eleven dollars. The lobster roll was eighteen dollars and the chicken basket was nine dollars. All in all, if you find yourself in the southside of Jacksonville and want a good fish fry, I would definitely recommend Jax Fish Fry.

    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 couldn't find many open donut…read moreshops; and my husband said we couldn't get "ordinary" donuts from a grocery store, so we found Lukumades by searching on our phones. It was a little bit of a drive away, near the beach, and there was absolutely no parking on a Friday night. My husband dropped me off and circled while I placed a few to go orders. It was a cute little shop with donuts, shakes, and ice cream. The donuts are not traditional donuts; more like deep fried donut holes that are covered with all kinds of yummy toppings. They're also served nice and hot and in 10 packs. They had lots of cool donut flavors like: Dark Delight, Maple Bacon, , White Tella, and Love U Matcha, The prices range from $8.75 to $9.50 per box. They all sounded yummy; but we decided on Twix Fix, drizzled with caramel, melted chocolate, and cookies, and Lotus Crunch, which was topped with melted Biscoff cookies. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes and the bag of donuts was nice and warm. We ate them when we got back home. They were more chewy and heavier than regular donut holes, but rich and delicious. You could really only eat a few; so a box of 10 is a decent sized dessert for 2 people to share. Lukumades is definitely a very unique donut experience and worth supporting because they're not a huge chain. You'll be glad you tried them....and its worth the drive.

Among other things I usually like, they had carrot cake for $7 and a cup of cheesecake for $9 (which seems steep). Their fruit shaped pastries looked beautiful (and a couple next to us said they loved the mango one), but were $12 each. Their fruit-topped Danishes also looked delicious, but weren't available any more at lunch time. They also offer milk shakes and loaded (sweet) croissants. There are only four stools here next to a bar, if you want to eat in. The bathroom was pretty good. I probably wouldn't come here again, but if I were in the area I might try some of their other pastries or sweet treats.
