Commander's Shellfish Camp

We stopped into Commander's Shellfish Camp after being at the beach. We decided to have a late lunch based on the rave Yelp reviews. We started with 2 cups of their blue crab corn chowder which contained no crab meat. The rest of the food we ordered was average. We had their crab cakes, mixed green salad with goat cheese, walnut, and craisin, fried oyster with string beans. The string beans had more flavor than the fried oysters. The oysters were room temperature and not crispy. The crab cakes and oysters were bland. Needless to say, we were underwhelmed with the food especially for the price. We don't mind paying for a delicious meal but we felt this was average at best. We ordered a bottle of their Cabernet Sauvignon and LOVED it. We sat outside which was beautiful and breezy. The staff were friendly. The 3 star is for the bland lunch experience and not for the friendly staff nor the beautiful outdoor atmosphere.

Came in for dinner on a Sunday evening and it was very busy already. Not that late, so we were surprised how long the wait would be. We opted for the outside seating, but we found out it is not as full service as inside and it was in the sun, so we went back in. The only seating available was at the bar, so we took it. We had excellent service at the bar! The server constantly walked by, refilled drinks, asked if we needed anything, etc. The restaurant is also a fish market so extremely casual and you definitely can smell the fresh fish here. Food was good too. We tried an order of conch fritters, baskets of shrimp and oyster po boys and some sides. The portions were large and fish was very fresh. Prices were about what I expected to spend. I would say, try this place for lunch or a weeknight when it might be a little easier to get a table. We passed this restaurant all week going back and forth from our rental, and it was consistently busy.

First time being here, came from Flagler County and regret not coming here sooner. Started with Oysters Rockefeller followed by a pound of snow crab legs and both were delicious. Wife had fresh Oysters from Massachusetts and fried shrimp, and all of it was tasty!Can't wait to come back and try more fresh seafood on the menu. Service was on point as well. Will DEF be coming back soon.

Great place for fresh seafood! Everything we ordered were delicious and fresh. I ordered the clam chowder and it has a different taste from the usual clam chowder. It had a little bit of a tart taste. The Datil Fish bites were fresh and tender with a little bit of sweet and spicy taste. We also ordered the Captains Platter. It has shrimp, fresh catch of the day fish, and fried oyster. We opted for blackened shrimp and fish and the flavor was very good. Well seasoned. It was perfect. The platter also included hush puppies and side of cole slaw. This place is also great for sunset viewing! Felt like time slowed down watching the sun set while having a drink. They have a deck and additional out door seating. There is also a shellfish farm. I had a wonderful and relaxing dinner. Wonderful service too. Will definitely go back to this place!

Amazing seafood dinner with great view. We opted to sit by the observation deck. Seafood is fresh. Shrimps and clams were huge. Smoked chicken sandwich with datil barbecue was good, a different take on bbq chicken sandwich. Service was fast.

Go early if you want a seat. It was packed already at 5:15pm on Saturday. We were able to snag a table on the covered deck. Alex was a terrific server. Friendly and helpful. My husband and I shared crab cakes which were delicious and meaty with a yummy sauce to dip in. They get a 5/5. I enjoyed my blackened mahi sandwich that was moist and flavorful though pricey $20. 4/5. My hubby upgraded to the higher priced sandwich to get tile fish. Unfortunately his was rather dry and bland. 3/5 Not what you hope for a $25 dollars sandwich. Both sandwiches had a fairly small piece of fish. Hush puppies just okay. Overall about 3.5/5

Had a big family dinner here yesterday and it was great! With our large party of 11, we sadly could not sit outside as it was very busy, and had to settle for two back-to-back booths. First, shoutout to our server Savannah who handled our big party with grace and professionalism - thank you! Food was reasonably priced and plentiful. Our two booths had smoked fish dip and conch fritters for appetizer - both delicious and the conch was evident in the fritter, which is not the case at every restaurant. Clam chowder was pretty good. Several of us had the fish of the day - my blackened flounder was great! Hubs had raw oysters and said they were delicious and fresh. We tried both the key lime tart and the coconut cream tart for dessert - yum!!! I wish I had taken pics!

We just had some of the very best local ( Matazas ) oysters ever . Our server Alex was so knowledgeable and kind etc! Will definitely be back ! Maybe tomorrow!!! Lunch is now open on the lovely back deck! Check it out!!!!

We happened upon Commander's and boy, it didn't disappoint! We had the clam chowder, fresh local oysters and shrimp that we shared, all while sitting outside. Service was friendly and offered ideas on what were their top sellers!

Man this place rocks. Brings the sea food. Get the low country boils. I had a platter and should have had a boil.
