JT's Seafood Shack

It's been awhile since we have been here and I don't think things have changed....thank goodness! Food was just as good as remembered.We enjoyed the shrimp and grits along with the Bouillabaisse. Grits were firm and rich with flavor whole the Bouillabaisse was a standout hit!Grabbed a piece of Key Lime home time!Taylor provided great service outside under the trees. Great food, great night!

The food was solid for this place. My husband ordered the burger - it's one of the best smash burgers I've ever tasted. The garlic- style bread and the sauce made this burger very unique. I would get that again. My daughter ordered the fancy Mac n cheese, huge serving, the flavor was just regular, nothing special. I had the lobster roll- very meaty but a small portion. The service was fast. Cash only. The ambiance is super casual. Cute roadside bar and restaurant.

This is a classic seaside seafood joint on the A1a near Palm Coast. The parking lot is a big sandy dirt lot. Lots of funky signs and fish nets. There was a big sign (3actually) saying they only took cash with the note that an ATM was available and sorry for any inconvenience. The hostess found us a table quickly and the we sat for about ten minutes watching people pick up orders and the waitress check on other tables. There was a bar in the next room with a couple of older men who I guessed were part of the nightly crowd. A larger party of what I assume to be locals came in and were waiting on immediately. After taking their drink orders the waitress popped over to get our drink orders. She was nice but it seemed we should have been waited on before the newer arrivals. I did like the limited menu with its assurances that all the fish was caught and prepared fresh. We started with catfish fingers. They were super tender and flaky without too much breading. They were served with tarter and "orange" sauce (like a Yum Yum sauce). Both were very good. We weren't done with the tenders before our entrees came out. DD ordered shrimp and grits with a side of roasted Brussel spouts while I had the shrimp platter with 12 shrimp, french fries and cold slaw. I would have ordered the 6 if I had known how big they would be! I ended up removing some of the breading as it was rather thick but it was tasty. DD really liked her creamy, rich and very cheesy grits. She appreciated that there was no andouille sausage in the mix. We were very full and happy when we were done. The food was five star worthy but the service was lacking. It was about $62 including tip. We both drank water.

Very disappointing! Their menu has changed and the offerings are NOT up to the previous standards.

The food was good ...not spectacular. I had the lobster roll and it was unimpressive. The meat was very bland and the roll wasn't toasted and buttery like most lobster rolls. I will say that there was a lot of lobster on the roll. The blackened fish tacos were very good as well as the onion rings. I actually dipped my lobster roll in the sauce that came with the tacos!Very laid back and casual place! We stopped at lunch time so no live music.The portion size is good as well as the service. Would I come back based on this visit.., probably not. I think the prices were a little pricey for lunch. But I am glad we stopped.

Located right in North Ocean Shore Boulevard, JT's Seafood Shack has plenty of parking options. My family and I came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and were immediately seated outside. But don't be fooled, there is an outdoor seating area. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't our friend when we visited (it was cold and rainy). Which now that I think about it... I'm not too mad about it since the ground outside is mostly sand. We only crossed the parking lot and my car looked like we had made a beach visit. Our waitress was amazing & had the best recommendations on what to order! I ordered the Blackened Shrimp Tacos and can I just say... WOW! The tacos were flavorful and plentiful. It came with a small side of rice and beans which was a nice touch to the tacos. My dad ordered the Blackened Shrimp and Scallops Platter and he said the scallops were cooked to perfection (it wasn't chewy or rubbery). But we both agreed on that the cajun spice was a little too much for us to handle. Unfortunately, I live in Central Florida so I'm not near JT's but if I was, I would be here almost every month. I can't wait to go back to the Palm Coast and stop in.

Fried fish was over fried and soggy. Salads were great. Service was great. Fries were great.

Order was made fresh and it's close to the tourist traps. Makes it easy for a quick chowda or lobsta roll. Not the best in town but pretty good. If go back here if I was paying through but not making a special trip.

This is one of the few places near our home.Another disappointing food establishment.To me, over-priced,very mediocre food at best.

Friendly and engaging staff, delicious crab cakes, and some indulgent Mac and cheese make this one of our go to spots when visiting town. Hush puppies were a little dry but the French fries were on point and the crab cakes had great flavor. Definitely worth checking out
