Southern Shores Seafood Jacksonville

Saturday 3.07.26 Southern Shores Seafood was my choice this week. A very good choice it was. We were lucky to have Dakota for our waitress. She was very knowledgeable, polite and efficient. Hubby had a cup of clam chowder and the breaded frog legs. Lightly breaded and the breading was very tasty. I had the lobster platter for one. There was so much food it could have been for two. Two lobster tails, broiled to perfection, 3 grilled scallops, 3 grilled shrimp, 3 fried oysters, stiffed crab & 3 hush puppies and 2 sides of my choice. Didn’t really get to eat the sides since all the seafood was so perfect and very filling. They have beer, wine and soft drinks. Only complaint, they serve the soup with the dinner. I overheard the owner say the logo was designed by his sister. Good job.

My wife and I saw this restaurant off of San Jose on the way home from work and decided to go home and pick up our daughter and then go try it out this past Friday. When we pulled in, there was plenty of parking so we were super surprised when we went inside and the restaurant was completely packed. There was a 20 minute wait, which wasn’t bad but there were open spots at the bar so we decided to go to the bar and have dinner instead of waiting for a table. They start you off with a complementary cream cheese, dip, and crackers. Everybody was super friendly, and everybody helped one another in a team effort, which was awesome to see. The restaurant and bathrooms were super clean. When we sat down we decided to start our order with the raw oysters which were fresh and of decent size. We a

Enjoyed our Saturday lunch and look forward to returning soon for appetizers and dinner. We both decided to order from the lunch menu and chose the combo that allows two main choices and comes with hush puppies and two sides. My blackened shrimp was fantastic, yummy without being too salty. My other main choice was clam strips. They were crispy and delicious, you could tell the oil used to fry was fresh as well. My husband chose fried flounder and clam strips, his flounder was light and flaky, again deliciously fried in fresh oil. We each chose two sides and shared to try they all. My favorite was the green beans, cooked in a garlic butter, they were firm and lightly coated in the garlic butter. The mac and cheese was good, very creamy. The flavor of the sweet potato soufflé was tasty but

In town for a NFL game and had a taste for seafood. We were not disappointed. A short drive from Ever Bank stadium. Shrimp, stuffed red snapper, catfish, grilled chicken were all excellent. We had a minor issue with one of our meals and the manager immediately addressed it and made it right. As a small business owner myself that has my upmost respect in a world that expects you to accept whatever they provide the manager wanted to make it the best. I highly recommend Southern Shores Seafood. Trinity was our server and she was attentive, fun, and had great suggestions. Ask for her if you want superb service at your table but please please make sure you show her your appreciation with compensation that gives her support she deserves
