JT's Seafood Shack PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Nice waitress but the food just didn't sound very good. They were unable to tell us the origin of the fish except to say it wasn't from Florida. We had an appetizer, a drink then left. I suppose we'll try it again. We'd like it better if they had some seafood on the menu that wasn't from Alaska or wasn't tilapia. How can tilapia be the fresh catch? It's farmed in Central America.

I think perhaps we had higher hopes of this restaurant than it could deliver. Friends highly recommended JT's and we visited for lunch but just didn't quite see what the attraction is. The food was very mediocre and the service lacked in many ways. Perhaps our tastes are different and I feel there are much better dining alternatives in town than JT's.

We've eaten here a few times in the past several weeks that we've been here. The burgers are the best I've ever had. Angus beef burgers that are literally "HOT" off the grill, so hot in the bun that you have to put it down after taking a bite so as not to burn your fingers. The other meals we've had (Tilapia salad) and grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids have been wonderful. A MUST TASTE is their black beans and rice. It beats any I've had in the Southeast and rivals those of my past stomping grounds in Central California. We'll be back to JT's again and again. Yes, staff are very pleasant, accommodating, and child/family friendly.

A little shack'ish from the outside but much more pleasant once inside. The menu is quite standard offerings for coastal Florida restaurants but it's done well. We enjoyed our meals and although the service was friendly it was slow.

My family and I dine here at least once a week and is one of the top restaurants within the area. The service is out of this world and they are always friendly, consistent, and willing to do anything to make your dining experience better each time we walk through the door. It's a child friendly restaurant, the servers always go out of their way to make us feel comfortable. I ordered the Steak dinner with new potatoes and veggies. I requested a side of Béarnaise sauce, the steak was cooked perfect with sautéed fresh onions and mushrooms, it was so yummy, my mouth was watering, the wildberry champagne dressing for your salad will make your taste buds shout, last but definitely not least the margarita's on the rocks with salt made with 1800 tequila are by far the best margarita's my Mother and I have ever tasted. Our Kudos to the staff at J.T's on a job well done, they are lead by a great management staff, we will continue dining here on a regular basis and encourage you to try this wonderful dining experience. It's a gem hidden in the Hammock.

My wife and I are frequent customers of JT's and we cant say anything but good things about this restaurant. The service is never short of the best and as for the food its the freshest by far. For what its worth we will always pass along the good word about JT's, keep up the great work! We'll definitely be stopping in.

We found JT''s to be a disappointment. The reviews are mixed so we assumed this restaurant would be hit or miss and I guess we arrived on a miss day. We actually found a problem deciding what to order as nothing on the menu really appealed to us. I settled on a softshell crab sandwich and my wife had the calamari. Service was not very good throughout and when the food finally arrived it was almost just thrown in front of us. Drink refills were slow coming too, and the restaurant was not busy at all. My sandwich was dull and dry. The calamari tasted like it was re-fried and was very tough even though the pieces were very small.

My husband and I went to JT's Shack on Wednesday of last week, the food was delicious and the service was wonderful. I am very surprised how anyone could say that the service was not good. The entire staff go out of there way to make you feel comfortable and the entire experience was very good. Regarding the prices, if you think that this restaurant has high prices then you probably don't eat out very often. Their dinner specials are wonderful and the prices are very reasonable. How much would you like to pay for FRESH fish? I know everyone has their opinion, but I think you should try this restaurant and see for yourself. I would go back anytime. Keep up the good work JT's. My husband and I loved it.

We have been frequent customers of JT's for quite sometime now and I never new that I could write a review about it, so here it goes. We came in for dinner last week on Tuesday night for that great all you can eat fried fish dinner, it was a relatively slow night we had a very sweet girl as our server, unfortunately, my dinner was a bit over done but I was unhappy with it, well I guess one could tell that I wasn't enjoying my dinner, so my server ask me if I wanted something new, but all I wanted was the fried fish dinner so I told her not to worry about it, so she sent the manager over, once again a very sweet girl, she apologized right away for the inconvenience and had the kitchen prepare me a brand new dinner in less than 10 minutes, it was wonderful, she remembered us, I guess from seeing us in the restaurant and she gave us a dinner club card, which was quite nice since we go there at least twice a week. We will definitely be back and tell our friends to come too. Keep up the good work!

We must of been at JT's the same day as Christopher below as our experience was identical. It was a rainy Saturday lunch time (9/15/07) and the dining area only had about 4 tables taken up and service was lousy. Everything we wanted we had to flag down a server for... from drinks to the final bill it was an effort to get. What's worse is that they (the servers) weren't doing anything but standing around! The food itself was not particularly good and prices are expensive. Shrimp tasted strange and were soggy and the rest over fried. Overall not a good experience and I doubt I'd bother going back.

Very disappointing! We visited on a Saturday for lunch and the restaurant was about 25% occupied. Service was slow and sluggish and very forgetful. Long delays and had to keep requesting drink refills. Food is greatly over priced and not very impressive. Crab cake was overcooked, calamari tough and flavorless, scallop and shrimp platter was too expensive and its shrimp were very watery and mushy. The poor quality of the food, its high prices and complete lack of service guarantee we will not be back or recommend this restaurant.

Went there yesterday with family members for lunch. I won't be back. There were not many people in the place but we still had to wait 10 minutes for anyone to approach us for drinks. The food was okay but definitely not for the price. I was looking forward to it because there are some great reviews on here but now I am wondering if there isn't a different JT's that everyone is talking about.

I was quite surprised with JT's. From the outside I thought it was just a cheap shack type place, but it's really quite nice inside and has a good menu. We visited for lunch and it had what seemed to be the office crowd in there and I ordered a crab sandwich and my partner had a seafood combo platter. Both were quite good and fresh. Service was a little slow and I noticed a few looking around for their servers. Overall JT's was a good experience and I'd like to try it for dinner soon.

Great experience!! This was my second time coming to JT's and my wife's first. The whole experience was excellent and memorable. The staff was very friendly coming in and our waitress was outstanding. She was very attentive and pleasant. We got the littleneck clams for an appetizer and they were superb. We then each had the fried clam dinner which even though a simple meal was presented in a way that made you feel it was a high priced meal. The clams were big inside the breading and the coleslaw was excellent. Very cozy and we will be back soon!

Just went to J.Ts for the first time on 4/21/07 and NEVER AGAIN..If anyone, especially the owner, took a glance at the FILTHY glasses at the bar, you'd throw up! I watched the girl bartending take a nasty glass and fill it with some kind of drink for a lady..UNBELIEVABLE! My calamari came out cold and so did the sauce. I didn't find the food good at all and neither did my husband..Left a knot in our stomachs all day!

From the outside this place looks like a shack but once inside it's cozy and comfy. The service was relatively good, we just had one little issue with someone that worked at the hostess area, but I won't go into that. We called ahead and were seated immediately. There were 7 of us, mix of adults and children.

I ordered a margarita which was just ok, should have gone for the "top shelf". I had the salmon special and so do my mother. It was very good, cooked just right and the sauce that came on it I had the put on the side which was also good. Would have been too much on top of the salmon, just right for dipping. It was served with potato and mixed veggies.

My daughter loved the kids chicken tenders and fries, she cleaned her plate. Another member in our party had one of the pasta dishes which was huge and I believe my brother had the mahi which was good as well. Service was good, would return.

J.T.'s is by far the best restuarant around. My husband and I eat at J.T.'s at least twice a week and always receive great service and fresh food. The place is soooo busy, we do "call ahead seating" which is really a great convience. Restaurants in Flagler county can be a bit of a risk when it comes to good food, but J.T.'s proves to be great every time. And if not, the manager with the red hair will make it right. Thanks for all your hard work!

Usually really great, but it depends on the crew working at the time you go. Last Sunday, 2/11/07 was an awful experience. I'm one of JT's fans, been going there probably once a month since it opened. The waitresses and staff were more interested in hanging out talking at the bar than taking care of any of us there, not just our table. Our waitress was not attentive at all. Even though there were just a few tables at that time, we waited probably 30 minutes in between our appetizer and lunch. You just can't do that. We weren't even hungry anymore. The food that day was alright, but that, added to the waitress who never came by to see if we needed anything or to find out how everything was, never asked how our meal was, the unacceptable wait time, and the just-okay food made for a lousy meal. How things have changed!

My husband and I went to JT's for the first time. We had a great dinning experience and absolutely will go there again. We had conch appetizer. I like the dipping sauce very much. My husband order Mahi Mahi special. It was excellent. The Mahi Mahi was perfectly cooked, very juicy. Well done! I had spinach pasta with blacken chicken. It was very good. The chicken was also perfectly cooked, tender and juicy.

Flo was our server. She was very friendly and provided us good customer service. The manager, Susan, also came out to greet us and make sure we enjoy everything. Thank you very much for a great service. We really enjoyed dinning at JT's.

My husband and I have been going to JT's for over a year now and have had great food and service every time - I especially like the different size portions they offer - for someone that can't eat a lot, the smaller portion "fried shrimp" works well with me! We'll be going back again and again - it's definitely worth the $2.00 toll on the bridge!
