Say what you want about this place, but we LOVE IT! We have our order down to a science which helps. I just love the view, the staff are always friendly and the food is always really delicious. I love their blackening flavoring and if you're a margarita person like me, they have some of the best knock you on your butt margaritas! The fried pickles, bang bang shrimp and blackened fish of any kind are always outstanding. read more

We ordered the jalapeño crab poppers, shrimp dip, purple pelican drink, and the St.Johns Sunset drinks. The best thing ordered was the popper, but standard frozen and fried popper nothing amazing. Shrimp dip was brought out we expected a warm bubbly dip, instead greeted with a cold dip with crackers, heavily seasoned with old bay. The drinks were a bit strong starting off! They do have live music and a decent water view. read more

Loved Singletons! But Saturday night, celebrating an anniversary with my wife may be my last visit. Maybe it was a bad night in the kitchen? The clam chowder we had the consistency of thick paste and was scalding hot. Still have a burnt tongue after two days. The fish was a very thin filet and was dry. I would have returned it but I did not want to embarrass my wife. The hush puppies were overcooked and grits a thin paste. The coke slaw was great! All this, amidst a beautiful sunset and great moment with my wife. Was it worth $130? Not the food at all. Maybe it was just a bad night. I would pause and look at other referrals before returning. Until then, there is always SaltLife in JAX Beach. read more

We have been waiting to try Singleton's for a awhile now and they were undergoing renovations for a little over 3 months and now they are finally open. The inside feels like I am inside a wooden ship, cool memorabilia over the years are seen throughout this spot. Seated at the outdoor view and even got to see a Carnival Cruise liner pass by (didn't know they make their way up here) and the view is just awesome as the sunset comes. For drinks, got the Singleton Sunset-because it is that time of the day and a Modelo Especial which are both really good to mix with seafood. Calamari and Steamed dozen Oysters for appetizers were right on the spot. Got the Good for 2 Meal which we selected Blackened Trigger Fish and Scallops. They paired really well with the Collard Greens and French Fries. Our server Jill gave us delicious recommendations and was attentive. There are lots of customers on the weekend, so it may take some time for the orders. read more

I've only been here for steamed oysters and they oh so good. Last time I went, I also tried the buffalo shrimp app. They were delicious. Our server was amazing. He's great! The restaurant sits on the water so it's a great vibe no matter the time of day as long as you have good company. read more

As a big fan of Guy Fieri, I definitely wanted to give Singleton's as he had introduced on his famous "Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives show. After initially trying it out, I have been recommending it as a must go place for out-of-towners. We were definitely forewarned that the combos "for two" were not simply for two but quite possibly for four or even five people. There was quite a good amount of food for the price. We sat out on the deck and it definitely was quite a nice experience to sit out by the pier and have a ton of seafood. read more

Thought I'd drop in for a change up from Safe Harbor. Sat down and looked at the menu and $28 for shrimp is ridiculous. Quite a bit cheaper up the road. No wonder the parking lot has a 1/3 of the cars. Sad because I want to support them but $28 and they have their own boats right behind the restaurant? No thanks read more

The fried food was not seasoned. I even asked, is the fish seasoned the response was... you can order it fried, blackened or ... that doesn't answer the question. We proceeded to order the three combo shrimp, grouper and deviled crab. Also soft fried crab. No seasoning was added to our fried fish or soft crab. The size of the shrimp was nice. For the price and the taste we will not return. There was seating outside by the water which looked nice. We sat indoors due to the chilly weather. Oh the collards were seasoned but I recommend they remove the stems. read more

My parents took us here while visiting and we loved it! The vibes were exactly what you want in a beach restaurant: casual, quick, good food and good views. We sat outside and were able to watch the pelicans perched on the columns. They also had live music, which was nice. The food was delicious - my parents got the fried seafood dinner for two and it lasted them three meals! So much food but all delicious. Cold drinks, hot food, 10/10 recommend! read more

An OG among the Diners Drive-Ins and Dives places that have aired, and I'm glad that we got the opportunity to stop by. Ambiance...you want Ambiance YELP...Here you got more Ambiance than you can shake a stick at... It looks the same as it did years ago when it aired...when you think of what an old Florida Seafood Shack would look like....this is it. And when you think of what they'd be serving up...this is it. Anna, our server was very busy as they were short-handed but she kept on top of things for everyone. She told us the catch of the day was Mahi-mahi and that's what we went with. Mine blackened with Coleslaw and Terri's was fried and with fries. Both were very good and I can see why these folks are still in business after all these years! read more

Our second visit to Singleton's was likely our last. Service was short and insincere. Absolutely disconnected and seemed bothered by our presence. Food was average at best. Maybe the worst grits I've ever had. Fish was ok, but forgettable. Parmesan crusted oysters were mostly breadcrumbs. Literally almost choked on them. They should be embarrassed to serve them. I don't typically give bad reviews, but this visit definitely deserved a dishonorable mention. I wanted so bad for this place to be good, but it isn't. So many better choices in Jacksonville. read more

Very disappointed. The stuffed crab was burnt and falling out of shell. Trigger fish was dry and hard. Oysters were plenty but over cooked on some. The shrimp was ok. Not the same quality as it was in the past. Been going here most of my life , however I have seen a decline in quality. read more

Good location of course and good service. But overpriced shitty seafood. Twice the price of Dockside and less than half as good quantity. Deviled crabs were mushy. Oysters were the snottiest, barely cool and worst I've ever had in my life. Jalapeño poppers were straight out of a Cisco bag. Seagulls like rats. I have been twice and that is the last I'll ever go. Tried to give them the benefit of doubt . Fool me twice ...shame on me. read more

Drove 40 miles to get here, because it has been sometime since our last visit. Very disappointed in the prices. For a party of (3) for lunch we paid $130 + $26 tip for lunch. We had only conch fritter for appetizer and no desserts. I had blackened trigger-$30, blackened chicken sandwich-$14, mahi mahi-$13. Also, for the 2nd time no draught beer. Everything is plastic and not too clean inside. Needless to say, it is overpriced out of the market and we will never return. There are better choices. Sad to say after 11 years going there. read more

It just never gets old! I love Singletons. Sitting at the bar with Dawn as our bartender is always my favorite! This weekend we decided a Saturday Mothers Day celebration was better than the Sunday crowds. One of our favorites is the Seafood Boil for 2! So yummy and plentiful. Always leftovers. read more

Food quality Not good!!! Although the service was good for being so busy. Loved the atmosphere!!

We treated ourselves with the oysters including Oyster Rockefeller, Parmesan Crusted and Key Lime Panko Crusted. Then our family shared the Fried Mariner's Combination for Two which included a combo of shrimp, oysters, scallops, clam strips, fish, & two deviled crabs with your choice of two sides. For $55, this fed a family of 3 with leftovers! They also offer a full bar with some specialty cocktails such as Rays Pride, Duval Teal and St John's Slinger. It's not fancy. It's rustic with history. Check out Captain Rays collection of handmade wooden boats and chill on the deck after a trip on the ferry for a fun weekend. read more

It was great service and good food. We got seated quickly. The blackened triggerfish was on the catch of the day with mahi. I highly recommend triggerfish whenever it is on the menu. The fried shrimp and oyster are alright. The fries weren't worth getting again. We enjoyed the hushpuppies and the coleslaw. It has air conditioning inside and outside tables. I would return if I was in the area again, but I wouldn't make a special trip for it. read more

Very fresh seafood served by lovely people in a nice setting alongside the St. John's river. During happy hour there were some excellent beer prices. read more

Safeharbor seafood restaurant was closed on Easter Sunday. We decided to try Singleton's seafood. The waitress was very nice however we ordered the fried seafood combo.. grouper, shrimp, and oysters. The food was not seasoned at all. The fish & shrimp was fried very hard and It was tasteless. With that said: it was not worth the price we paid for the food. I will NOT be returning to Singleton's. read more

Great place to sit back and enjoy the sunset. Amazing view. Right on the bank of the St. John's by the ferry. read more

Service is terrible, worst I have ever had anywhere. Server (when he did show up) 45 minutes later, wreaked of weed. Had to get my own refill. Food was excellent, but not worth the money. Sat outside and had a nice view of the sunset, but thats about it for that. Would not recommend this place! read more

This is the spot! Singletons has excellent fried seafood, and you just can't beat their outdoor deck on top of the river. I've been here several times now and it's been outstanding each time. The fish are extremely fresh and delicious. I'm also a big fan of the clam strips and shrimp. The seafood breading adds a corn-mealy flavor that goes perfectly with it all. And they have a great hot sauce collection. If you're getting a seafood plate, instead of eating fries, I recommend getting clam strips as one of two proteins and get other sides instead. The fries really are nothing to write home about. The fried corn and corn slaw are delicious. And you really can't beat that deck on the river. Watching pelicans fly by, seeing boats sailing, and just enjoying a cold one on a sunny day at that great spot is the best. Highly recommend! One of my favorite Jacksonville spots! read more

Friendly and supportive staff, straight forward menu, decent serving sizes. The outside deck is just right in perfect weather. The sights, the scents, and the breeze. Beverages were topped off frequenty and the seafood was as fresh as you could want from waterfront of a port. Decor is a bit rustic and weathered, and the sea gulls are aggressive for good food, so beware. but a dininig spot, two doors down from the ferry landing. read more

A true classic old Florida waterfront restaurant!! If you like seafood you'll enjoy Singletons. We had a group of nine, I had grilled shrimp the balance of my party had the crab legs, all meals were well prepared and enjoyed by all. Staff and service were very good!! Nestled beside the intercostal water way next to the Fernandina ferry you can enjoy some interesting sights while you dine!! read more

Food was awful scallops and oysters were both awful . Taste like the food was old. Coleslaw was sagey

Beautiful views with live music, can't get any better than this. Tried the gator tail, raw oysters, and blackened shrimp with baked potato, hush puppies, and black beans and rice. Everything came out tasting wonderful, service was great, and the outside seating was pretty amazing. As soon as you walk in, you can see where your food is being prepared. There was one particular cook who maybe was having a bad day, but walking in and hearing him act rude to the waitresses was kind of off setting. Pretty unprofessional on his part esp knowing guest can hear you but he did not seem to care bc he saw us looking in his direction and he continued to make a fool of himself. read more

Confession- my husband doesn't like white fish (I know!). Our server recommended the catch of the day (sheep's head) and he loved it blackened. I got crab legs that were just ok. They kept my sweet tea full the entire time, but there was a lot of confusion about who our server would be. Not sure the communication between the host stand and the servers was firing that day. Lovely views and there was tons of outdoor seating. read more

Me and my wife went there for a Valentine's dinner date and I can also agree it had to be a bad night or it's just the cook the food was so horrible and singleton was my #1 choice of seafood restaurant please get that original cook back from 15 years back this new cook need food lesson read more

I'm a seasoned traveler and have been to many ocean towns, but never Jacksonville. This seafood shack was recommended to us, and we wish we would have gone here at the beginning of our trip instead of towards the end because we would have definitely eaten here more this week. The food was absolutely amazing. We had scallops, shrimp, and mahi. You could not ask for better scallops! All the food was fresh, tasty and the portion sizes are generous! The service was also superb! read more

Thank you Chris! you were delightful and you have absolutely fabulous customer service skills. He was on top of it all and deserves the world and all the tips read more
