    My husband and I had gone to Barbara Jeans 2-3 times, crab cakes were best, sorry I tried the turkey! When I got the portion, it was smaller than a children's size. When I questioned it, I was first told that it wasn't right, then I was brought out an extra small plate with another 2 very small palm sized slices of turkey, as extra for the meal, because apparently their sizes ARE quite small, I was told afterwards. They weren't very friendly either.

    Our first visit to BJ's was wonderful. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. After the first visit we returned expecting the same but the food nor the service were quite as good as the first time. However, we have recently made our third and last visit to BJ's. We ordered the special which was scallops and they were so "bitter" we could not eat them. When we asked if we could order something else we were not treated with much respect or concern. I hate to send anything back so it has to be bad and it was but our replacement order was not much better and the service was sooooooooo slow. I doubt if we will ever visit them again. Thank goodness there are other restaurants in the European Village which is a delightful place to visit.

    This is my new favorite place to eat. The food is awesome and the pumpkin and wheat rolls are to die for! I'd love to make some of that pumpkin bread at home but they don't have the recipe listed in the recipe book. I didn't give it 5 stars because I was cold and asked two people if they could shut off the ceiling fans with no avail. The portions are huge too!

    Went to Barbara Jean's for Sunday lunch and it was excellent. It was not crowded. The service was perfect and the food great. I just wish it had a more upscale look and I would have added a star. My husband had the special, spicy shrimp Creole, which came with two sides...he chose Cole slaw and corn. He loved it. I had an excellent fish sandwich which was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. Instead of French Fries, I selected yummy mashed sweet potatoes. I had a drink from the bar which was also wonderful. This is a great place for seafood and we will be back again.

    Went to Barbara Jean's for lunch on 8/19/06 with my husband and Friends. We had an excellent time, and all of the food was great. It came out quickly, perfect to order with absolutely no problems. I had the 5 ounce crab cake and my husband had the fried fish. the squash is the best side they have and the pumpkin bread is addicting.

    Our server was a young man named Patrick. He was able to answer every question we had and was extremely funny. He lightened the mood was able to make the experience fun for us. I do not think there is any other server like him, he was even able to bring the owner Chris over to joke around and talk to us.

    We had such a great time we will be coming back and I hope every discovers Barbara Jean's. thank you for the great time

    My husband, my sister and I went to Barbara jeans for the first time today (Saturday). Everything was delicious. Our server was attentive and one step ahead of us on refills. He was extremely polite. My husband had the shrimp chowder and the crabcakes. He said crabcakes were the best he had ever had. My sister had pot roast and broccoli and cheese casserole and I had shrimp Creole. It was all wonderful. Their bread pudding is to die for and we plan on going back and taking friends.

    I was there tonight with my daughter, her boyfriend and my husband. My husband and daughters boyfriend had Tonys Plate. Served exactly to order. My daugher had coconut shrimp that she raved about. I had the 1/2 and 1/2 which was 6 pieces of grilled shrimp and salmon. I also had a baked potato and salad. Both of which were EXCELLENT.

    Lindsey was our waitress. She could not have been more fun if she tried. Very outgoing and professional and a delight to have with us.

    Overall a WONDERFUL dining experience. So much so that I wrote to corporate about it. It was Fabulous.

    I love this place! Been here several times with friends and family, each visit was delightful. The bread basket they serve can be addictive and they're a wonderful start to a meal if you haven't stuffed yourself with them.

    The chicken strips appetizer sampler were delicious and more than enough to feed a small army.

    I'm a Manhattan clam chowder kind of guy, but they don't serve it and I've never been a big fan of the New England version, but I had a bowl and it was really good. It had a spicy kick to it, I really enjoyed!

    The grilled fish was done just right, flaky and moist... and very tasty.

    Wow, what a great meal! I don't like crabs...but I had to try the crab cakes, from what I read! They were really tasty! The rest of the meal, T-Bone was beautiful to the eye as well as the tongue. The breads were amazing and the service was great! Oh, the fries were really nice too!

    Excellent meal including Broc & Cheese soup, crab cakes, and chicken fried chicken. Pumpkin bread is awesome. Mashed potatoes, fries, green beans, and squash casserole were all good. Corn was dry and straight from a can. No reservations but location in European Village made our brief wait pleasant. Matt was our server and service was excellent.

    Went to Barbara Jeans in Palm Coast last night for the first time (been to the one on St. Simon's Island...very good). I tried the crab cakes, delicious!! However, the waitress was completely rude. I asked about putting a different topping on the BJ blue salad, she replied with, "I dunno, this is a new menu," then just stared at me. I actually changed my order since she didn't seem interested in helping me. Then my daughter placed her order -(a simple sandwich) and she stated, "Thank God your are making your order much easier." I was left feeling guilty for asking how the menu worked. As good as the crab cakes were, I probably won't be back any time soon. The waitress proceeded to ignore us the rest of the evening leaving drinks empty and me tracking someone down for the check.

    This restaurant is over-rated! Last Thursday we ate at Barbara Jean's. The flatware was very dirty with food particles on several pieces in our party. The food is of average quality.

    We have been to Barbara Jean's about 6 times. We have always had good service. I love the meat loaf and my husband enjoys the steak very much. The pumpkin bread is awesome!

    We dined at Barbara Jean's on Thursday of this week. It was nothing special. I would highly recommend the jalapeno cornbread. It was out of this world. The large salad was made of noncreative head lettuce. The service was average.

    Have been there twice...once on opening night and then, again, a few weeks ago. I have to say that the food and the prices are pretty good, BUT, the management is not very receptive to customers. My food was served only lukewarm - both times I was there, and, when I told the manager (and stressed NOT looking for money back, just giving feedback so we have more successful restaurants in PC!), I got a "not very interested" attitude. Also, I ordered a martini - weak and watery - and when I asked the bartender about it, he asked if I wanted to watch him make it. I was pretty offended and will never go back there again. The pizza place and martini bar across the way are much more people friendly.
