Following reviews and the advice of our concierge, we visited for dinner while in Jacksonville Beach for the PGA tournament. We brought our 3 year old son, and the atmosphere (and fish tank) were great for a family. I wish I could say the same about the food. We had the raw oysters (the only good thing we were served)...

This is a nice place in Jacksonville beach area. The food is good – but the quality is inconsistent: the first time we ate there it was very good, so we came again but the second time the food was average. The atmosphere is very nice, the restaurant is very big with different sitting areas. Although there were a lot... More

Food was good but not exceptional. The place itself was fun and inviting. A nice hang out with friends if you can sit outside on the patio. I would go back and try it again. The margarita was yummy.

The atmosphere is great. Its a very trendy place, so expect crowds for the most part. The food was good, but I thought that it was a little pricey for what it is. Overall cool place to hang out with friends at the beach.

Had a shrimp taco which was very good though I wish the dish had come with 2 tacos. Also shared some nachos which were great. We went early so parking wasnt a problem and it was great to sit outside with a nice breeze. Will definitely go again. Very friendly staff with quick service.

This restaurant is inspired by the coastal lifestyle embodied by the Jacksonville Beach-born clothing and bumper sticker phenomenon known as "Salt Life." If you like the beach, surfing, fishing, or boating, be sure to check this place out. It is not really a "shack" but rather a casual yet hip restaurant with a large salt water aquarium and a variety... More

My husband and I happened upon this nice spot for an out of town lunch while at appointments in the area. I had the tuna burger with a lovely side of coleslaw---well presented and garnished nicely, the slaw could have used some sweet and vinegar,just sayin. My husband loved his burger club with nicely seasoned fries with unique dipping sauce.... More

I was in Orange Park on business and the last night I was in town, I decided to stay at the beach instead of staying where I was. The person at the front desk suggested Salt Life as a good seafood place. It was some of the best seafood I've ever had, and the services was as good as the... More

I've been to Salt Life Food Shack a number of times and have had a good meal each time. The Crab Boil is very filling and tasty but make sure you're hungry or you'll be going home with a doggy bag - the sausage is especially good and the broth makes it even better. Likewise, the shrimp platter and soft... More
