JT's Seafood Shack PERMANENTLY CLOSED

I will never understand the fascination with this restaurant as we drive by and it is always packed. I went twice and had a bad experience both times. The last time we went for breakfast the staff was not friendly. When we sat down the table was dirty and when I asked to have it wiped the hostess only wiped the small part I pointed to when clearly the whole table was dirty. The waitress was less than friendly and rushed us even though it was not busy at all. Ordered a meal that stated it came with "applewood bacon" but when it arrived it had mushrooms instead. When I asked about it the waitress said she would check. When she came back she threw an order of bacon on the table without saying a word. Just totally disappointed and the food was just O.K. It must cater to seasonal people and tourists as that is trike three for me.

My husband and I have ate there many times and it has been a really good experience, manager ( owner ) and staff was very nice. Manager makes a point to come over to see how things are going and wait staff was very friendly. Have friends coming in from out of town and we will be bringing them here for dinner. See Ya'll Soon.

We truly love this great place. Food is fresh and the specials are extremely above par... well presented and prepared. Staff are very friendly even when the place is busting at the seams. Keep up the great work!

We are newer to this area and this has become one of our favorite places to eat, and to bring guests when they visit. The service and food has been consistently great and I would have no problem recommending JT's to anyone!

It sounds like some of the previous reviews/reviewers have other issues and beefs with the restaurant/owners, etc. ~ I don't know what JT's was like "before" but the "after" is pretty awesome for us. :)

We ate here 2 years ago and didn't like it. Tried it again 2 years later and it was not good. I don't know why this place is so crowded.

Being a local to the Hammock and having seen the changes JT's has gone through during the recent years, I can say that I am just not satisfied. I know and understand that through sponsoring events the restaurant is trying to keep an image of past years, but clearly this is not the old JT's that we have all grown to love...... Please, give me what we use to all know and love!!!! Where are the old faces? Where are the days when a fish sandwich use to mean a FISH SANDWICH? I miss the Glory Days when JT's looked out for their locals.

I want to know where the secret JT's is because by reading some of these reviews, it's sure not the one I went to! I just don't understand the rave. I have been 3 or 4 times and each time I said "no more". And I really mean it this time. It's not terrible at JT's, just totally forgettable with very mediocre food and average service at best. It's also pricey. Maybe it's because there's no other restaurants in that area, but I'd rather drive the extra 15 minutes to Flagler Beach for a much much better meal.

Well, it's been up and down. I have to agree with the recent * review. The last time we went, it was packed with tourists and their kids. $11 for an up charged grilled fish sandwich and a side slaw is a bit much. The piece of fish I substituted for the tilapia was sooo small! It was a bit of tail section. Maybe 3" by 4" and thin as a wafer! We had to stop at taco bell for a burrito or 2 on the way home. My dining companion had a burger but it was a loose meat sandwich! Flavor was good but the burger had gone to pieces. We made a rule, no more eating out east of the ICW until the kids are back in school and tourists clear out.

I recently was taken to JT's Seafood Shack for lunch and was very much delighted and satisfied with service and food. I had heard about this neat, cozy, friendly and courteous restaurant and the fabulous home cooked meals that are served. My refreshment was always filled and the service was very pleasant and attentive. What more could you asked? I recommend anyone traveling south on A1A towards Ormond, Daytona experience this home away from home restaurant. I can not say enough about their food and I haven't begun to taste all of the varieties that they extend to their patrons. But I do know that they make sure you are satisfied and your belly is full. And that was only lunch, I can't wait for dinner... yum! JT's is a nice place to escape from the hassle of everyday stress and not go broke. Thanks, guys, for a great experience. I will recommend JT's Seafood Shack to everyone I know.

The food was great but the problem I had was the fact that we got a seafood bucket for 2 and there was only really enough for 1. I suggest they add more to the $46.00 platter for that price. We were recently in Savannah, Ga and had the same thing at another restaurant and it was proportioned to price. Just need to add more to justify the price.

My wife and I have been to JT's many times, and usually its a hit or miss. We went on Sunday for dinner and it was a definitely a hit. We ordered a steam pot for two and it was delicious. the atmosphere of this place is so relaxing and the flat screen TVs really help from a boring dinner. Our server was very attentive and nice, though i did not catch her name. After dinner we decided to go with the fried banana cheese cake which was also delicious. The manager also seems to care about what the customers think because the manager Susanne stopped by to see how everything was. We have been there many times, and every time she is working she seems to check on every table and see how everyone is enjoying their food. Everyone should come check this place out.

This is another one of those places we visit EVERY time we are in the area. The relaxed atmosphere is a huge plus for families with children. The food is GREAT. I appreciate the choices they have and it is not your usual "blah" fare. ( i.e. sweet mashed potatoes, blackened catch of the day) The "all-you-can-eat" fried shrimp is a fantastic choice. the shrimp are butterflied and lightly breaded. YUM!!! The staff is always attentive and kudos to the person who recommended buying a shirt!!! :) See you in the fall!

Went on Mother's Day. There was a long wait for are meals and when they came there was one meal short and the rest where cold. There was no contact from the Manager who had her Friends at the next table that received 25% off there dinner. We will not be returning to JT's for their fresh catch of the that was not catch that day.

My friend and I went to JT's last night for dinner & to listen to the great band they were having outdoors... My fish sandwich was great & Charlene's scallops were huge and very tasty. The staff was very friendly... indoors & out. The music was fun and the crowd very friendly. I wish they would purchase more stools for the outdoor seating area. The tables are huge but very little stools for seating. We loved it though. We will be back. Buy one of their T-shirts.... I love the logo of the "boney fish".

Have been to JT's a couple of times and I highly recommend them to anyone. The nice thing is that if you don't have to like seafood to eat at JT's. Personally, I go for the seafood, but my wife and mother-in-law don't like fish, so they got the steak and both loved it. Keep up the good work JT's!

JT's is in our neighborhood and my husband and I have eaten there several times since they opened but more for convenience than anything else. We always found the food okay but nothing to rave about - until last night. We had an EXCELLENT meal at JT's last night. I had the tuna entree and my husband had a selection of appetizers. Everything was outstanding and the service was perfect. The restaurant and bar was packed, but Sarah our waitperson, was attentive, her timing was just right, and she was a joy to talk to. We will definitely look forward to our next visit to JT's.

My friends and I went for a drive south today and decided to have lunch at JT's and we're so glad we did! We had the Steam Pot with Crab legs, shrimp, mussels, keilbasi & corn on the cob DELICIOUS and one of their specialties Coconut crusted Mahi WOW! I've been here in the summer for live entertainment outside but this was by far my best experience taking the time to sit inside and enjoy their great food and atmosphere. From the time we walked in the hostess and servers took really good care of our group. I'll be back time and time again. Really worth the trip and thank you to the management staff and Chef Randall we couldn't have found a better place.

We love this place. The food is fabulous and the people are very friendly. We stay in Cinnamon Beach for the winter and have become "regulars" at JT'S. We bring all our visitors here and they all love it.

We stopped by with Jerry and Phil a few weeks ago and I had the same thing I had before the holiday closing, chowder and grilled fish sandwich, and it was very good. I guess it's timing with this place but it was good this last time.

I love JT's fried gator tail! This was the first place I've tried gator and the only place I'll eat it! They're burgers are fabulous also!
