Daniel LiJune 10, 2013Clam chowder & shrimp & steak tacos were great. Had the oyster shooter too. Overall great service and the waitresses are all pretty too. I wouldn't recommend for a first date b/c yours might wander.
Moriah MaeNovember 9, 2012Everybody says it, but it's true, the poke bowl is the absolute must-order thing when you're at Salt Life. The rice and avocado make this dish perfection.
Nikki BlountOctober 21, 2017The nachos were huge and quite good- more than enough to share. All of their portions are large- we will definitely split a meal if we go back. Good beach food.
Hali LivingstonAugust 22, 2017One of my favorite restaurants. The plantains are incredible (though they are fried in lard). As a vegan, I get the Ahi Tuna salad without tuna. The dressing is amazing!
Jacob ReichleApril 21, 2017Very nice outside seating and atmosphere. Love most of the food and drinks here, but don't get the beach boil! Tastes like water with a side of corn.
Paleo EffectAugust 17, 2011Great fresh seafood and local Mayport Shrimp for the Wild Caught Paleo palate. Their kitchen is friendly with Gluten Free items and can morph a lot of their offerings into a Paleo experience. Read more
Chuck McCueOctober 7, 2015The Ahi Tuna Salad is usally very good. On Tuesdays the $5 sushi is a deal on well prepared rolls.
Michelle DennisonAugust 30, 2020Avocado fries. Oyster shooter. Wood grilled salmon. Crab boil! Delicious. Yummy. Hi
Caroline AslingerJanuary 8, 2013Best place to eat!! 100% perfection. The only downfall is the wait... But I'm keeping it 100% because of the food portion and quality. Very good!
Shiny SpoonJaxMarch 15, 2013Go crazy and try that Oyster Shooter! This restaurant was recently awarded the Shiny Spoon Award for passing their most recent food inspection with ZERO violations! They know what they're doin'! Read more
Marianne SoutherlandJuly 26, 2018My favorite restaurant in Jacksonville!! The food is the best I've had there! So fresh!
Lauren JohnsonJuly 20, 2015Calamari was AMAZING! Had the poke bowl. It was ok. My daughter's salmon was great. Definitely recommend!
Pamela SteeleNovember 3, 2017Jacksonville Beach and St Augustine Beach! Both locations have great food and great service!- Chuck McCueOctober 7, 2015Slow tonight. 50+ min for 2 sushi rolls and Ahi Tuna salad. Some hassles on my $5 off coupon had to get Manager to approve. They forgot the Avacado and extra dressing on my salad. Sushi was very good.
Kerry BoatwrightJuly 25, 2010Service is a bit slow, the sushi is a la Publix, and the crab BLT isn't worth trying...BUT the margaritas are great, the black bean dip is phenomenal, and it's overall a pretty fun place!
One of my favorite seafood places. The beach boil is a really good deal
Seafood is okay. Probably the best French fries ever. Service and drinks are the best thing there.
Christine StammJune 8, 2013Great, great, great service and the food and drinks are fabulous. I'd definitely come again.
I'm pretty sure the caliche poke bowl is the best thing I've eaten. Ever. Skip the edamame.
Greg HodgesJuly 14, 2011Terrific food. Very generous portions. Great service. Best seafood in Jacksonville. Very swank, applebee's prices.
Karen DuffApril 18, 2012Tuesday is 1/2 price wine - bottle or glass. Try the Chalone Pinot. Sushi specials too! WINNING!
Cody WestonMarch 17, 2011Ensenada Mahi Taco is delicious! Add pico de gallo and Trinidad habanero pepper sauce to give a spicy-sweet kick
SaraJuly 29, 2010Try the calamari. It's the best I have ever experienced. Also, $1 oyster shooters are a must to begin any night (a bit on the daring side).
Jameela Afi-LeighAugust 10, 2014Having a white wine Sangria and waiting on our food. My husband is helping me celebrating my birthday.
- Julie Ann DinnewethOctober 31, 2011The poke bowl has been my favorite thing so far. It's a must try.
Scott HooksAugust 19, 2013It is very very loud inside (on a Monday at lunch). I had to shout to talk to my wife right next to me.
The shrimp brochette are a culinary miracle. One of the best things I've ever had.
Lots of great food on the menu but I can't stop ordering the poke bowl!
Kate WinthropDecember 28, 2011Poke bowl is the best thing on the menu if you like tuna and some spice- Chuck McCueDecember 12, 2012Came in to pick up an order to go. Sat at the bar to wait for food. Bartender was gracious enough to get me a water. My order arrived promptly. I paid cash & the bartender decided to keep my change. ?
Black bean dip-- poke bowl-- key lime bar or one hot blonde!!! Great dinner!!!
Sunday night: they're out of everything! No oysters, no Mahi poke, no ceviche. Ended up getting chicken, womp :(
