We finally made it to Julington Creek Fish Camp, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We started…read morewith a dozen fresh oysters that were clean, briny, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. The wedge salad was crisp and refreshing with just the right amount of blue cheese and bacon. The fried stuffed crab was packed with flavor and had a perfectly crispy exterior, while the halibut was cooked flawlessly--light, flaky, and incredibly fresh. The fresh catch platter was another standout, offering a generous portion of perfectly prepared seafood. The creamy grits and savory collard greens were outstanding sides that complemented the meal beautifully and showcased the restaurant's Southern influence. 10/10 would recommend

Though the parking lot was busy, I was sat immediately and noticed they were not too busy on a Friday night 7:30pm - likely an indicator of the experience to come. Kaitlyn was very friendly in greeting and throughout the meal. She was obviously the only bright spot on this experience, since you see the star rating. The soda lacked carbonation in the coke, so I mentioned it tasting off to me. I switched to an Orange Fanta, and that too lacked carbonation. Ended up just eating my spicy crab combo with no drink. Which thankfully, spicy is no where near spicy at this location. Medium at best if you order spicy. Genuinely let down, especially since it is ONE cluster for $38.99. Definitely felt this was a skip, and then was shocked when the bill came... As a party of one, I was charged automatic gratuity of 12%, which is bewildering to me. Larger parties? Totally get it! But a party of one, which I was shocked but they do list on the menu of prices. I almost tipped 20% on top of the bill, until I was looking into why it was higher than I expected. Additionally, $4.99 for a soda that doesn't even have the syrup and carbonation properly calibrated?! Wowza, what a letdown for $50+ for dining alone. If you are in Jacksonville, you are surrounded by lots of good seafood places. Big crab? Personally, a pass for me.

It's been so long and can't believe I've not reviewed Dockside before…read more Well, we arrived just before the lunch rush after our 7:12 tee time. I chose the combo 2 as I was pretty hungry. Fried fish and shrimp with fries and slaw. Everything cooked to order and that kitchen has it going on. Served hot and fresh and fried to perfection and well seasoned. It was really one of the best fried seafood platters that I can remember - seriously ! The line was steady the entire time we were eating but it was moving steadily. Parking lot is currently undergoing some updates (July 2026) so be prepared when you arrive. I only wish there was a location closer to home but regardless, this place is worth the drive from anywhere in Jax and surrounding areas.

Other two had the whole snapper which is gross to me because of eyeballs and all, but they loved! Hubby had the fried fish which was boring to me but he really liked. Great job all!!!

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.
