Turtle Shack Cafe UNCLAIMED

Great tasting food and a fun beachy ambiance. Service can be a little slow but always friendly. This place knows how to build an amazing burger and is great with seafood. Reasonable prices for the quality.

We have been vacationing in Palm Coast for 22 years and Turtle Shack has the best seafood and delicious non-seafood dishes in town. Our service has always been amazing. We eat at this restaurant at least twice while on vacation.

Highlight of visit: Crab cakes, jalapeño cilantro linguine, any burger, prime fries

I like all the food options at Turtle Shack and everything I have eaten there has been very good and tasty. My favorites are the Mussels for an appetizer and the Peppered Tuna entree which has an amazing sauce. I must say though that the service is intermittent on some visits but I like sitting outside and seeing the ocean.

Highlight of visit: The Peppered Tuna is delcious.

It doesn't look much from the outside, or the inside for that matter, and service can be not so good at times, but the grub here is truly excellent. They do some great seafood dishes and you can't better their burgers. Sit outside for good views.

You could tell they were short staffed and although stretched our server still managed to offer us personalized service, but the tables did appear to need a good wipe down. For an appetizer we had the Ahi Tuna which was just seared enough and came with a delicious teriyaki blueberry sauce. As a main I played it safe and opted for their version of Fish & Chips which uses mahi-mahi in a stout beer batter, and I was very impressed with the lightness and flavor. My girlfriend ordered the Mahi Tacos Blackened with upgraded toppings which she loved. Overall a very enjoyable meal where we loved every bite and enjoyed the atmosphere.

Real easy going place with good service and fabulous food. I could easily feast on any of their appetizers as they're amazing especially the yummy Avocado Rolls and Prime Time Fries 😋 You can't go wrong with any of their burgers and the Crab Cakes must be tried at least once.

Go here for the crabcakes which are the best you'll find south of Maryland. Husband gets their burgers and loves them. For some reason we don't always have the best service and it's not the most comfortable restaurants but the food really makes up for the shortcomings. Nice outside when the weather is nice.

We're staying at the campground close by and our neighbors there recommended the Turtle Shack. It's a very rustic beachy locals type of place with many good sounding items on the menu. I had the Crab Cake Sandwich and hubby had his usual burger and both were superb. Our server was a darling who really went above and beyond. We weren't rushed and enjoyed just being there. An excellent find and highly recommended.

Everyone we met says we have to try this place and although it was quite good, we didn't think it lived up to the reputation. It's very rustic and chairs were uncomfortable, service was spotty, and food expensive for what we had. Fish wasn't too bad but side veggies tasted like they came from a bag of mixed frozen vegetables and rice from a packet. Husband's burger was huge but looked like someone had sat on it. Also didn't get many fries and ones he had were hard. Perhaps we went on an off day as friends can't stop raving about it, so we'll give it another try.

Very casual locals place good for lunch or dinner. In or out seating but we prefer out. Avocado Egg Roll appetizer is a must and I really like their crab cakes or scallops. Husband always orders burgers. Service is mostly good and is on the pricey side.

It was not very good weather to be at the beach but we got a nice warm welcome here and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. My husband devoured his burger and said it was the best he's had in this area, and my crab cake on a croissant was delicious. The avocado egg rolls appetizers were incredible with just the right amount of crispiness. Our server was very sweet and made sure we had all we needed. Nice rustic shack type of atmosphere and very casual.

Go here for the burgers and the avocado egg rolls! No too impressed with anything else I've had on the menu, but their burgers are without doubt the best in town. Service is hit or miss and it's not the most comfortable of places. Good beers!

The Turtle Shack is where I go when I want a burger as theirs are by far the best around. However, service is not always very good and can be very slow especially at lunch. Very rustic inside with beachfront shack vibe.

Highlight of visit: The Shake Shack Burger or Bleu Ribbon Burger

Small place and not the most comfortable but it has a good vibe about it. Service can be bad some days and very good other days. But food is consistently good which is why we keep returning. I've had almost every seafood dish on the menu and all have been excellent with the crab cakes and Irish style fish and chips being my favorites. Burgers are so good too.

OMG has this place ever gone down hill. The food isn't bad but the service is horrendous. If you decide to go here be prepared to wait.. and I mean wait! Better bring some camping gear with you because that's about how awful the service is.

Very rustic inside and not too comfortable and feels a little deadpan but the food was excellent. My blackened grouper was cooked perfectly and was lovely and flakey, the clam chowder was very creamy and delicious. My husband chose a burger (The Shack) and raved about it. The server was good enough although could of been more friendly. It's small and casual but needs a lift to help the atmosphere with at least some beachy music. Worth it for the food though and I highly recommend you try.

Highlight of visit: The Grouper - perfect and huge.

This is my go to place for burgers as I've yet to find better in this area! It really is a shack with a basic wooden interior but the grub is great. In addition to burgers I really like their sandwiches too especially the crab cake sandwich but it's expensive! The A1A construction made it a challenge on my last visit but it's definite worth going to.

Highlight of visit: Can't go wrong with any of the burgers.
