    Very very good!! I would totally come back. The service was good. I'm excited to learn about this place. The shrimp bo boy was very good. I got blackened shrimp. The ambiance is a nice clean neighborhood bar. I would totally come back. The fries are awesome too.

    3.5/5 stars | My review is based upon multiple Saturday lunchtime visits. Our experiences were mixed based upon both service and food. Service - there is a young lady (wish I noted her name, previously blonde but was brunette at our last visit) who always provided prompt, friendly service if we were in her section. If we were seated in an area being serviced by the bartender, it was a given that service would be very slow. At our last visit, we were seated by someone who said she would be right back with waters. She disappeared into the kitchen area & about 10m later, I saw her view our table and realize she had forgotten our waters. The restaurant was always less than halfway occupied during these visits, so the service issues were always surprising to me. Food - The reason we returned for multiple visits is because my mother loved their fried shrimp platter. I tried the shrimp and fries and they were great! I can also recommend the Fish Club which I enjoyed on a couple of visits. What I cannot recommend is the Caesar salad with shrimp (dressing was terrible and the shrimp had little flavor) or the crab cakes which they serve burnt not browned. I've included a pic directly from their website that indicates that my order wasn't a fluke.

    Conch Fritters
    Andell R.

    Nothing beats stumbling onto a great restaurant in a new city and this little spot in a shopping plaza delivered big time. The moment you walk in, it's pure comfort: warm, homey vibes like you stopped in by Grandma's for dinner. We were seated quickly and our server was a gem; she calmed our fears and steered us towards some of the best plates of the night. Started off with conch fritters and gator-tail bites because, why not go full adventurer? Both were hot, delicious and addictive but the star of the night were the fried collard greens that came with the scallops. Think kale chips but better; light, shatteringly crispy with that deep earthy collard flavor shining through. Never seen this preparations before and now I'm ruined for regular collards forever. Everything was fresh, delicious and the prices felt like a steal for the quantity and quality. I love finding unassuming spots like this where you leave and all you can do is rave about it long after the meal is over. A hidden gem that feels like coming home!!

    Cornhole fun

    Stopped in for lunch after walking at the local Jacksonville arboretum. The nice girl that greeted us was a treat as well didn't get her name but very helpful. Cj was great her service and attitude was incredible! We had fun the outdoor activities made it even better. Cajun pasta was spicy but duh lol. I would have rather had the shrimp tacos instead of fish. Can't wait to go back for the gator bites and crab legs.

    Doing our layover from our trip north. Stopped in Jax and found this place down the street from our hotel. Great reviews and yummy sounding menu. Had a reservation but we were here early so didn't really need it. Everyone was so friendly. Started with an ole faithful cocktail. Delicious! Really well made. Grabbed a bowl of the chowder to start. This was delicious too! Just creamy enough with lots of clams. I landed the fresh catch Mahi mahi blackened. So good! Cooked perfectly with so many good flavors. The portion was just right. I cleaned my plate. Deb had the steak. Ribeye was just ok. The Cajun butter was great and the steak was tender but it was closer to medium the med rare. Really good cocktails as well. Bartenders were rocking it! Casual local vibe. Great service. Good food.

    Flounder, crab
    Josiah W.

    The first thing I wanted to do when I got to Florida was to try alligator. I don't know if getting them deep fried is the correct way to do it, but it was really tasty. The key things were the flounder, which appeared to be a tasty fish. The fries were also good, goes well with cocktails but that's just me. The oyster goes well with the bacon jam sauce, sweet and nice. My only great is not ordering more.

    Where do I even start? Oh my god this place was amazing and exceed my expectations. My brother really wanted some seafood. So we stopped by this spot. The place is very nicely decorated with fish and a gator skin on the wall (not real) it was giving us a very fisherman's Florida vibe. Our server was really friendly when she took our order for drinks and food. They have a nice patio on the back with a giant connect for for friends or kids or play outside. We ordered the crab cakes, alligator tail bites, and crunch fritters. My sister was really excited to try alligator, and my brother really wanted to try couch. The appetizers were delicious except that the couch fritters didn't have much counch in them. But we're still good. For the entrees we shared the fresh catch and 3 way platter. For the 3 way platter you can have a choice for picking between 3 proteins. So I picked the fish which was flounder, crab and oysters. The carb and oysters came fried and I could pick for the fish to be fried, grilled or blackened. So I picked for the fish to be grilled. For the fresh catch she said it would be +$4 for us to upgrade to trigger fish and we have never tried it before so we decided to give it a try. It was a good decision. The appetizers came first very quickly, and we are them up so deliciously. They were hot and fresh. Then came the entrees. The fried oysters were very flavorful, the fish was cooked perfectly, and the fried crab was alright. I probably won't get the fried crab again. It was good, but it was mostly breading and imitation crab meat, I was expecting like a crab leg or something. The fresh catch over rice was pretty pleasant the green beans were cooked nicely and the meat of the fish kind of reminder me of bass, we got it blacked so it has lots of flavor. Then finally we got a key lime pie to go. I highly recommend this place!

    Fish tacos with avocado delicious sauce
    Beth P.

    You'd never think the best seafood in town would be in a strip mall! We had lunch there this week and I was amazed by the quality of the food. I had the fish tacos and my husband had fried shrimp. Wow! I used to think Marker 32 was the best, but Southern Coast is my new favorite. Straight up- there is practically zero ambience. It's a strip mall. But the service was quite professional and the prices were good. We had lunch for two with tea and dessert for $55

    We were seeing a movie in the area this afternoon and decided to have lunch here before the movie. It was a good choice. The restaurant is in a strip shopping center on Monument Road. They have indoor, outdoor and bar seating. The menu has plenty of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, tacos, and entrees. We ordered both the Baja shrimp and fish tacos. We chose the sides of French fries and cole slaw. The shrimp tacos were so good with plenty of flavor. The fish tacos were also tasty. The fries and cole slaw were both plentiful and satisfying. Service was friendly and quick from our server, Cassidy.

    Nice greetings from Hostess (offered booth or table). Bar crowded for college football. Mahi, Trigger & Grouper fresh fish. No crab cakes - but understandable since we just had Hurricane Helene roll through. Server Natalie gracious. Checked in on us. Bathroom clean. My Mahi & husband's trigger fish both grilled - needed a bit more seasonings. Cole Slaw was quite good.

    Shrimp and oysters
    Virginia B.

    We had a group of 7 that met here for dinner. Our server was super friendly and was able to answer all our questions. The theme of the restaurant is definitely nautical but tasteful. Everyone ordered something different and it was all very good. One friend even had a salad that she said she would get again. We all ordered at once but two of the orders did not come out with the rest. We had to ask in order to get their food. I had fried shrimp and oysters. The shrimp were grilled but had a lot of seasoning on them. The oysters were great. Cole slaw was good and even the fries. If our waitress had not been so good this would be a 3 star due to the long wait for two of our orders. It satisfied my seafood craving.

    Oysters were small but so delicious
    Charlotte P.

    I have visited Southern Coast several times and they never disappoint. Tonight we were a party of 7 with theatre tkts after dinner. I arrived before my party and was quickly greeted by Natalie. I could tell she was new by her shyness. However she rallied and professionally took care of everyone's needs. Oysters were delicious and a side Caesar for me. My friend ordered a Poke Bowl and she was still talking about it hours later. Thanks Natalie for a job well done.

Though it was briskly busy for Sunday service, the ambiance remained thoroughly pleasant and impeccably maintained. We were seated toward the back of the establishment, offering an utterly magnificent, unobstructed view of the river. To begin, I selected a crisp Corona Extra with a fresh slice of lemon, while my assistant opted for a fine beer. For our luncheon, we ordered a platter of raw oysters, which were extraordinarily fresh, perfectly chilled, and thoroughly divine for a late-afternoon meal. To top off a splendid day, we indulged in a warm cinnamon roll for dessert a delightfully decadent sweet finish. Watching the breathtaking sunset cast its glow over the water made for a truly magical afternoon. Impeccable views, fresh cuisine, and a wonderful atmosphere I shall most certainly be returning!

The potatoes were perfectly soft and able to sop up the seasoning. The sausages were a good combo of chewy and soft. And the corn was super juicy and sweet. We got the mild option, but honestly, we didn't really notice any spice, so I would definitely go for a higher spice level next time. The seasoning was pretty good, but not the best I've had. It was a bit too oily for my preference, which sounds a bit dumb because of course it's oily. But it was so hard to get the seasoning on the food. At times it felt like I was only scooping oil up without any of the flavoring. Whereas at other places, it felt like the oil itself was super flavorful too.

Being from a landlocked (Arizona) state, I wanted to get some fresh snow crab as you can truly taste the different even if you can get flash-frozen. We pulled up, and it seemed pretty underwhelming where it was located. When walking in, I initially didn't notice the insanely cool boat fountain that we marveled at on our way out. Loved the decor as simple, but the fountain elevated it more than other seafood boil places I've visited. Elijah was very friendly and appreciate the recommendation to go very spicy (extra hot). I often feel like some places vary. I want the spice, but I don't want it to completely overpower the food like some spice levels will. This achieved an exceptional flavor and still cleared my sinuses from the spice - perfection! The crab was amazing and the shrimp was pretty good as well; though next time, I'll do all crab as it was insanely fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back if in Jacksonville again for work, and recommended to the local coworkers in the office!

It can be slightly dressy or super casual, making it a great spot for different occasions. I also loved having both booth and table seating options.

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.
