Spend $60 on lunch but got kids portions!!! Order (2) pick 3, you only get one small piece of fish, very small and over cook chicken tenders. Ask for no tomatoes on my salad but receive tomatoes. Two kids meals

Stopped here on date night with the hubby. Didn't really plan it but passed by and seafood is always a great idea. It's a Wednesday so not super busy and we were sat right away by what appeared to be the manager. Our waitress, Suzanne, was amazing. Reminded me of old school diner style waitresses who seemed to really want you to have a good time. She was amazing! 100% of these stars are hers. The food was good! Not fantastic but solid well cooked seafood. We had the low country boil and for me it was a bit under seasoned. Could have been seasoned better but was cooked well. Best part- the waitress! Worst part? The manager. He seemed a bit rude and condescending to his staff. He made a comment at the register that made me uncomfortable enough to walk away. We had a teeny tiny misunderstanding with the check (she had two and thought they were both ours) and he was pretty snarky with her and was a bit terse and rude. It seemed a comment best made in private.

Apx 5 pm. Baked potato was yellowed and scorched. Crab cake would have fit on a Krystal bun.

The food was hot and fresh. The portions were just right. Our waitress was definitely a five star. She was polite asked the right questions and on time. It definitely gets better every time I go.

The food was bland no seasonings and the price was way to high for the portion of food given. Customer service was good. I would not go back, along time ago the food was great, fresh and the prices were not that high.

My husband and I love Sam's St. John's Seafood so much that we drive all the way from Orlando to Jacksonville to have dinner there.
Looking for some good ol fashion seafood then this is your place. They hit the spot every time. I usually order some form of fried seafood. Sometimes the pick two or three platter but the 30pc shrimp special is always a good choice. I usually pair it with the baked potato and cheese grits..I know two starches but hey it's not my fault they both taste good. I tried the coleslaw recently and it was just as good. Don't forget to ask for the side of the day and special of the day usually you can find a really tasty good deal with those. Now this isn't an upscale black tie type of place. This is a unbuckle your pants kick off your shoes old school seafood restaurant type of place so wearing your jeans is fine. The staff is always pleasant and helpful when it comes to choosing between all the awesome sides and entrees. If your on the Westside and want a good ol fashion treat, stop in and try the shrimp...you can tell them I sent you lol

I always get their salad with salmon and it is perfect! My husband gets the fried shrimp dinner and says it is the best that he's ever had. The service is impeccable waitresses are always friendly places, clean and has been around for a while now.

Plan on bringing cash if you want to eat here otherwise they charge you 3% convenience fee for using a credit or debit card, even after raising their prices on their menu. The food is not that good and definitely not worth the high price. If you sit close enough to the register you can hear customers arguing with the cashier about having to pay the restaurants banking fees. You wont know until you go to pay and they point out a sign taped to the counter. Bad business.
