Two Dudes Seafood Restaurant

We are happy returning customers to this great little casual place for great Jax seafood! Good service with a smile. Can't go wrong at Two dudes.

2 dudes is small. Very small. But they have a great selection of fresh catch on the board. Started off with a beer. Decided on the mahi mahi grilled. Super good fish. So good they named it twice. The side was the Wasabi coleslaw. This is NOT your mother's coleslaw. Enough Wasabi kick in it to make your taste buds tingle. Don't leave 2 dudes without trying it. Still was a bit hungry so decided on the Buffalo shrimp. Nicely done with ranch dipping sauce. Been awhile since I've been at 2 dudes. So had to go. Good service good food. I will be back.

I'm sad to post this review. This place used to so good :( Honestly the two stars is for the bartender and the playlist. Good tunes and she was great. Wine and beer were fine. The food: Same prices, less portion, horrible quality. We started out with some new appetizer they have with potatoes, cheese, bacon deep fried. The oil was so old it made them look almost black. They looked like fried pieces of human turds. They tasted ok, looked very disgusting. Before new ownership I had no issues doing oyster tacos Baja style. They told me no because of price. Baja style is literally cabbage and tomatoes with a little bit of sauce. I got the oyster skimboard for the same price which had lettuce and tomato on it. Make it make sense?? The oysters were nasty. I took a couple of bites and couldn't figure out what was off about it. I took it home and just tried an oyster by itself and spit it out. So disappointed. Everything used to be fresh. They didn't have raw oysters but they had fried ones. They were obviously frozen. I didn't send it back because there wasn't a manager there. One cook and one bartender. Signs were posted about food taking a long time. We will not be back.

Don't judge a book by its cover! Two Dudes has great food!! Top that off with $2.50 pints of PBR and you've got a great combo!My wife tried the fish and chips and was very happy with the dish. The fish was cooked to perfection and the batter was crispy and flavorful. The fries were some of the best fries!! They were nice and crispy on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. I tried the crab cakes and besides the price, they were unreal! I was a bit skeptical when the dish first came out, but I was quickly impressed with the texture, flavor and consistency of the crab cakes. They weren't too dense and had a nice crisp on the outside.Maybe the best part, both of our kids ate for free! Kids under 8 eat free from their kids menu. My daughter had the fish fingers and fries and ate the whole dish! We may have snuck in a bite or two, but she loved all of it. My son had the chicken fingers and fries and it was very good as well. Our server was nice and friendly and very attentive. We met the owner when we were there as he was making his rounds from table to table. You definitely get the vibe that this is where the locals eat. I highly recommend this location and the food!

I love fresh grilled fish! I love variety and experiencing different and new-to-me flavors and combinations. Two Dudes Seafood has been on my radar for several months. I visit this plaza at least twice a month for the 15 Minutes of Fame Jam Session at Fly's Tie Irish Pub with Shaun Taunton and Shane Platten. But that's usually late in the evening and the beginning of my work week. On this particular day I was bound for Syd and Linda's Seafood. But as you may recall I tend to hit up places on the days they're closed. Luckily I was not out of options.I rolled in around 4:30 for a late lunch after some racquetball. Chelsea and another young lady greeted me right away. The dining area has around six tables and maybe as many bar seats so communication to your server is easy. I like this setup, my dining room is similar. Fresh Catch and specials are colorfully chalked on a board and there is a hand held menu. I love a good crab cake but decided instead on the Crab Mango Quesadilla. It uses lump crab and was really tasty. I was expecting a larger cut but these were smaller slider sized wedges as if they used street taco sized shells. Of course my entrée had to be indulgent so I chose the Pick 3 Hugangus with two sides. My fish selections were Blackened Mahi and Flounder and Grilled Grouper. Sides were sautéed vegetables and Mango Wasabi Slaw. I also purchased an extra side of Hush Puppies. Everything was cooked perfectly. Each filet was firm yet flakey and not fishy at all. The vegetables were also very good and not overdone at all which is tricky when cooking squash and zucchini. The Mango Wasabi Slaw was a huge hit. Each bite was tangy and delightful and really entertained my tastebuds. Chelsea brought me a special Atlantic Beach Aioli to dip my Puppies in. It was a great sauce and I really enjoyed it. I'm a pretty easy diner to serve. I enjoy being served but don't like to make a servers job difficult. Another guest came in shortly after me and this dude was a widget salesman if ever there was. Kind of a know-it-all pompous consumer that isn't a real asshole but sure takes the long way around for ordering. Chelsea did a superb job absorbing every question he had and even gave him a quick geography lesson on where else to eat in the area. Kudos to her for giving great service to both of us. I was happy I came. I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. I would liked to have had bigger portions for the price, or just a lower price. The Hugangus is $38. That's $10 per filet and $8 for slaw and veggies. $62 for the whole meal and for the first time in a long time I was rethinking my frugality. But it's the beach. The fish was fresh. And it didn't smell like a fish market. If you'd like good seafood and good service this is a good choice. There is another Two Dudes in Ponte Vedra but Chelsea explained it's connected to Red's Steakhouse and has a different owner.

I just love this quaint restaurant nestled in a strip shopping center in Atlantic Beach. The seafood is always fresh and our server/bartender Lauren was fun and personable. My friend and I were starving so no pics of the delicious fried shrimp, oysters and Scallops. If you have never tried the wasabi slaw it is so so Good. It's great to eat local! Thanks "Two Dudes" for an enjoyable afternoon.

This little hole in the wall is far underrated. All of the seafood, sides, and even various sauces are fresh and made in house. Two dudes has been in the area for years and the food is amazing. All of the servers are very attentive and friendly. If you're Lon the area and looking for fresh, consistent seafood, stop in!

Fresh yummy seafood and doesn't disappoint. We had the scallops, shrimp and cobia (all grilled) and they were all flavorful and well seasoned. It's a tight fit but the staff made it seem cozy and welcoming. Food is a bit on the pricey side but we thought it was well worth it.

Best oyster tacos in the south!!!There onion strings are amazing. Beer is always cold and the service is great.

Two Dudes used to be the "go to" place for seafood in or around Jacksonville's beaches. I always took friends and relatives there because the fresh fish was great and you got a lot for your money. Now, expect to pay a lot more for a LOT less. I had dinner there this week (August 2024) with a friend visiting from Gainesville. We each had the grouper "platter," which now means a piece of grilled fish and a relatively small side. The fish was well cooked and tasty. And the service was great. The problem is that, with two local draft beers, my dinner came to $45 before tip and I left still hungry. With such basic preparation, why is Two Dudes charging so much and skimping on sides (which cost cents on the dollar to serve)? One can get far better fresh fish, more sides, and a more creative preparation at multiple seafood restaurants within walking distance of Two Dudes.I'm very disappointed in the changes to this restaurant.
