    Blackened Salmon and bang bang shrimp
    Virginie L.

    Found out about this place from a friend, otherwise don't think I would ever stumble across it. Real Mom and Pop restaurant with a small hometown feel. You have to place your order at the counter, get a number and they bring the food over to your table. Great customer service! What we ate: Blackened Basa (white fish) and crab cakes with sweet potato fries and fried Okra. The fish was delicious flaky and the right amount of spicy, the fries were great also. First time having fried okra, taste like fried okra nothing special about it. Crab cakes was very good, a little more filler than I like but way less than I expected and very flavorful. Blackened Salmon was also very good and cooked to perfection not too dry. Bang Bang Shrimp was good, wasn't enough bang for me but it was good. Definitely recommend you check it out if in the area and everything was reasonably priced.

    Um no.

    Very pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. We like the appearance from the outside and looked over the menu on the web. We thought we were prepared, not at all. I was unaware that we ordered and sat down. So when I got to the counter, I drew a blank. After looking again, we ordered successfully. We started with the fried veggie sampler. Amazing, fresh and tons of it. I got the ocean pasta with scallops. There was so much seafood! It was endless. The pasta also came with garlic bread and a side (I chose rice pilaf). My husband got the ribeye. It was thin but tender and cooked perfectly. He loved his fries and onion rings. Our son got the sweet Pete's Honey Chicken sandwich. He like the sauce and toppings. He also commented about how good the fries were. Overall a great choice when passing through town. Really great food and the employees were wonderful. Now the bad....unfortunately. The men's restroom was a disaster (see picture). We wanted so bad to unsee the issue but it was impossible. A second trip will be necessary the next time we pass through. I'd love to try again because there were so many things on the menu I'm excited to try.

    Catfish and Shrimp

    I needed a meeting spot in the area to have dinner with a friend. We agreed on Junior's. The food was very good. The fried catfish and fried shrimp combo had a light and crispy coating with just the right amount of seasoning. Before I tasted the catfish, I had planned to sprinkle on some hot sauce like I usually do whenever I eat catfish. But after the first mouth-watering bite, I realized that this catfish already tasted so good that it didn't need any extra seasoning. And the succulent tail-on shrimp were sweet and tender. The hush puppies were delicious, with just a hint of sweetness. The service was interesting. When you first enter the restaurant, you go to the cashier to order prior to taking a seat at one of the many tables or booths located in the restaurant. The cashier gives you a number to put on your table and then they will bring you the food as soon as it is ready. The decor was basic, but the food more than made up for it. I can't wait to go back for more. Next time, I will bring my wife.

    Super great local restaurant for seafood.  Nuce portions and food was fresh.

    Great food and great service. The stuffed flounder was really good and the side salad was huge. Oh, and great hush puppies.

    catfish, shrimp, fried green tomatoes
    Mike M.

    We were told by a "local" this was not a good place to eat. I am glad we ignored their "advice." We were greeted upon entering and given menus. We sat down and made our decisions, then went to the counter and ordered. We ordered Cajun Calamarie for appetizer, Fried catfish, shrimp, gator tail , oysters, fried green tomatoes, green beans and fries. (hushpuppies come with the meal) Wow, what a spread of food. The portions were huge, arrived hot and tasted delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. If you ever happen to be in the area, don't pass up this restaurant. A staff member stopped by our table a couple times to see if we needed anything else.

    In the front  very welcoming!

With seating at the bar we were served right away by a pleasant women who worked with us our entire stay. We started with the fish dip which was very good. A bit more cream cheese than I normally like but was still very good. Also had the Crab Savannah soup which is like a tomato based she crab soup, excellent!! For our entrees my wife had the Poke' Bowl with seared tuna. Asked for medium rare but got more to a medium color (gray) but the veggies that it came with were fresh, flavorful & crisp! For my self I had the oyster poor boy which was huge! Plenty of oysters and cooked just right. The remoulade sauce had a nice flavor and the veggies also were fresh & crisp. The ambience is more like a warehouse feel but I'm ok with that kind of atmosphere. In talking with our server Sunday's is there busiest day. So, if coming on a Sunday get there early or pack some patience as the food was very good & worth the trip. Thank you for a nice time! We'll be back!!

New Berlin Fish House is actually one of my favorite seafood restaurants. I've eaten here quite a few times and have had good experiences in the past, which is why what happened on September 8th around 7:30 p.m. was so disappointing. When my partner and I walked in, I could tell the restaurant may have been running behind. There were quite a few occupied tables, but I noticed that many people were still waiting for their food. We stood at the entrance for approximately five minutes without being greeted before Savannah E. eventually told us, "We'll be with you in a moment." She then went to another table and began clearing a table. Another waitress passed us and also said someone would be with us shortly. By this point, we had been standing there close to ten minutes. Eventually, Savannah returned, grabbed two menus, and was preparing to seat us. I politely asked if we could sit in a booth. Her immediate response was, "I guess," followed by an explanation that they were short-staffed and were trying to close down one side of the restaurant. Being short-staffed is completely understandable. Wanting to close a section of the restaurant is understandable. What I didn't appreciate was the attitude behind "I guess." A simple, "We're actually trying to close this section because we're short-staffed, but let me see what I can do," would have communicated the exact same thing while still making a customer feel welcome. What Savannah didn't know is that I have back issues, and sitting in a booth helps me remain upright and more comfortable while eating. I shouldn't have to disclose my medical history to make a simple seating request, but had she politely explained the situation, I would have gladly explained why I was asking. Afterward, she took the menus and walked across the restaurant toward a table without saying anything to us. There was no "right this way," "follow me," or even an indication that we should follow her. She simply walked to the table and looked back at us. At that point, I told my partner that I no longer felt comfortable staying, so we left without ordering. For context, I know Savannah's name because she has actually served me before. She was our waitress when I came to New Berlin Fish House the morning I was getting married, and I had no issue with her service then. I also keep photos of my receipts, so I was able to confirm her name from that previous visit. I'm mentioning this because I don't want anyone to think I am randomly identifying an employee or guessing who assisted us. I understand that restaurants get busy. I understand being short-staffed. I understand employees having stressful nights. What I don't think customers should have to accept is feeling like they're an inconvenience simply for walking through the door and asking for a booth. For someone who doesn't get out often, this was supposed to be an enjoyable night out. Instead, we left before we ever had the opportunity to eat. That's especially disappointing because I genuinely like New Berlin Fish House and have chosen to spend my money there many times before. Customer service matters just as much as the food. When I spend my money somewhere, I don't expect perfection, but I do expect to feel welcome.

    Absolute best fresh seafood in Neptune Beach, Jacksonville!…read more After passing by several places, chose North Beach Fish Camp because it was the busiest, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is lively, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming they even surprised the table with a complimentary order of fried crab claws with garlic aioli that were absolutely delicious. For my main course, I had the trio fried platter with fish, scallops, and shrimp, accompanied by hush puppies, fries, and coleslaw. You can truly taste the freshness in every single bite; everything is locally caught by their own fishermen. Between the amazing food, top-notch service, and great atmosphere, this was a standout dining experience. Highly recommended!

    I've always had a great experience eating at North Beach Fish Camp. Downstairs is usually crowded,…read moreso my favorite place to eat is upstairs. Even if the restaurant is packed, you can usually get a spot at the bar to eat. And if you sit upstairs, you get a nice view out of the windows. They have different specials all the time, and on our last visit, they had fried crab claws with a yummy dipping sauce. On this last visit, we just had drinks and appetizers, but on previous visits, I've tried a lot of the fish dishes on the menu and have liked them all. They also have good hush puppies. Their mixed drinks are good as well. I can't remember the names of the two I tried (in the photos), but they were refreshing. My husband had an espresso martini, but instead of vodka, he had them make it with the O'Kahan Agave Mezcal Purple Heart, which is something you have to ask for. It's a different twist on the usual espresso martini. Overall, it's good food in a good spot right on the corner in the Beaches Town Center. Never been disappointed and have been eating there for years.

The decor is fun too! Not to mention, they give a veteran discount with proof of ID. What more can you ask for? Well, I know what I can ask for! To the owners: pretty please, with sugar on top, consider opening a location in St. Augustine. Not in the downtown area, but the folks north of town need something; they need you! Around the Palencia & Kensington area, off US 1 to be exact...or anywhere nearby in that area. The folks there would love something they can walk to, ride bikes to, maybe even use a golf cart to get to...and yes, a short drive is good too. Jus' sayin'!
