North Beach Fish Camp

One of the greatest fish restaurants i ever visited!! It’s based on first come first serve. But dishes are incredible tasting!! They have grouper, halibut, cod. All great and tasty fishes. Bar tender Paul, is a rocket guy. Atmosphere is so positive and vibrant, good people!!!

The oysters were very fresh and hit the spot. As for the boil, the crab really did it for me. Paired with butter, it really can't get better than this. I was not a big fan of the shrimp and clams in the boil, but everything else was quite good. I think what made this experience especially enjoyable was Eric our server. He knew literally everything on the menu and was very nice. Definitely recommend this spot!

Absolutely amazing food, location and service and reasonable prices. If you love seafood, this should be on your radar. The foods were fresh and whether its the gator tails, conch fritters, calamari, seafood broil or whole fried fish, everything tasted amazing. Recommend 100%.

Perfect location! Great menu! Fantastic service! Delicious food! Priced within budget! This restaurant checked all my boxes!! Dined here with family on a Thursday afternoon. Parking was easily accessible and not at all expensive. Located within walking distance of Atlantic and Neptune beaches. Service was prompt, and staff was knowledgeable about the fish dishes on the menu. Very friendly staff and super attentive!! Great portions. We had fish tacos, cerviche, crab cakes and b-liner snapper with various side dishes. Dessert was to die for!! Highly recommend if you are in the area, and looking for an authentic seafood restaurant with a family feel.

Overall, an enjoyable meal. Pros: decent food. Cons: appetizer was $16 for 4 tiny bay scallops, we thought they were bigger scallops and wish it would’ve specified, they were tasty but wouldn’t order again. Our main entree was yum, he got the flounder special and I got the linguine. Bread pudding is usually great here. This one was supposedly sweet potato pecan. You would never know sweet potato was there, pecans were very burnt which kind of tainted it all unfortunately, but the last time I was here the bread pudding was so so good. Service was okay, nothing spectacular, kind of bland. It was really loud inside. Will try another place for our next night out. :)

Chris as a server was amazing. He led me to the locally caught grilled filefish. The best fish I’ve ever had. Hush puppies were also probably the best I’ve had along with the vegetables (I believe it was zucchini and squash with onions and mushrooms) along with red potatoes. Seriously, one of the best plates in my life.

We enjoy all the Fish Camps and recently came to the North Beach location. Service was fantastic and our server was on top of it, some of the best service we have had in the area. The food was delicious, my father in law enjoyed the shrimp and grits, he added bacon and sausage to it. I really like their whole fried fish, my wife liked her fish sandwich and my mother in law loved the pan seared cod. Definitely recommend stopping by and trying out some items. We will continue to return.

I never cared for grits but THESE grits are the best I ever had! Always love the fresh catch of the day or Mahi Mahi, Grouper, etc. Love the daily specials - never disappoints! Also, for an appetizer I think the fried green tomatoes were the bet I’ve ever had! We bring family and visitors here often.

We asked the server at our hotel cafe where locals would go for seafood. She said NBFCamp on Neptune Beach. It's in a nice walkable outdoor shopping/restaurant area. There's a bar on the first floor, amongst the lively dining room, and a cozier bar upstairs with plenty of tables for dining, as well. We had drinks and apps upstairs while we waited for our reservation. Bartenders were cool and easygoing, and our drinks were perfect. We all had some type of bourbon, being from KY. Nice pours, too. Back downstairs we were greeted by Denise. Great service in every way. She was personable, recited the very VERY long list of specials with great detail, and gave us her personal recommendations, which were ALL delicious, and her personality was warmly, yet upbeat, with a genuine and beautiful smile. Besides each dish being the best each of us had eaten in ages, her service added so much to the experience. OMG, I almost forgot this. They have a small dedicated fryer for gluten free prep. That means almost everything can be made GF. Like fried clams...fried fish... and they have a gf chocolate mousse cake dessert that was heaven. Word has it that the owner is a CIA trained chef. It shows in the taste and presentation of each item we enjoyed.

A co-worker recommended North Beach Fish Camp for dinner and let me tell you it's the best recommendation I've received in a long time. It's located right across the beach on a corner. When you first enter the host greets and seats you, it's a little loud but not unbearable. Our waiter greeted us immediately and he was so helpful and gave very detailed recommendations for it being our first time. For an appetizer we ordered the Calamari and it was lightly breaded, crisp, and well seasoned. Perfect light appetizer to start with. We also ordered the Blue Crab Cakes with veggies, the veggies were cooked perfectly and the crab cakes had tons of crab meat in them and barely any breading which was great. They weren't heavy and tasted fresh. We ordered the Pan Fried Blackened Catch with Creamy Grits and Collard Greens, the grits were so creamy and tasted like garlic. I'm still thinking about those grits and how can I replicate them. I never had collard greens before and if collard greens taste this good I've been missing out my whole life lol. The fish was tender and fell apart with my fork and was jam packed with flavor. For dessert we ordered the Cranberry Bread Pudding with Ice Cream. It was hot and you could tell it was freshly prepared, the cold ice cream paired perfectly with the fresh cranberries. I was beyond impressed with my experience at North Beach Fish Camp. The food is the best seafood I've had in Florida and I've been to a lot of seafood restaurants, and the service was phenomenal. I will always make a stop here when I'm in Jacksonville.

I was disappointed by my first visit based on my friends' recommendations. Decor and service were good. But food was subpar: Everything was so salty. I had the clam chowder which was probably the best thing we ordered. Not the best but still decent. The Baja fish tacos (blackened) was so salty I hardly touched my food. The trio fried sampler for $26 seems like a good deal but was not memorable. I don't get the hype here. Will not be back.

I was really looking fwd to try this place! First night on the area the wait was too long so I decided to reserve for next night (try to reserve no matter the day or time you want to go as is always full). The service was ok, the hostess were SUPER nice and friendly but our server was not so kind or friendly, she will just drop things on the table and did not pay good attention to us. Drinks were good and food was partially good, the kids food was amazing the loved the fish fingers and my daughter had a fish sandwich (not part of the kids menu), everyone enjoy the gator bites too but the main things we ordered weee a seared tuna salad which had more sauce than tuna and tuna was overcooked and we also had an octopus appetizer which was just ok... so I expected more from a seafood place! Dessert was delicious (key lime pie)! The place is always packed so it was really noisy.

The service was friendly and attentive. The food was good but a little bland; the gator bites were a highlight. We ordered: 1. Gator tail (5/5)- crisp, lightly fried, not chewy 2. Scallop ceviche (4/5)- I enjoyed it mainly bc I love ceviche but my husband wasn't a huge fan 3. Blackened mahi (4/5), tomatoes and okra (5/5), fries (3/5)- the mahi had a bit of spice to it but not much flavor and the fries are actually potato wedges and were kinda dry. 4. Fish special with orange sauce, green beans, and potatoes (3/5)- it sounded great when described but was pretty bland. 5. Sweet & Salty Chocolate Torte (4/5)- totally recommend adding a scoop of ice cream. We sat outside, which was nice people-watching, but I'm not sure what it's like inside. It seemed pretty crowded and lively though. We made a reservation for a weekend (MDW) and definitely seemed like we needed to.

The grilled salmon blt sandwich was the bomb diggity. Who knew bacon goes with salmon? Now, I do. We also ordered the conch fritters which were delicious! Our server, Gina, was friendly and efficient.

The food is fresh and flavorful. Every bite was so delicious. The atmosphere is clean, chill, and inviting. Our server Oliva was great and we were checked on by Drew. Drew made me feel welcomed and even helped me make my dessert suggestion. We look forward to coming back

Another fantastic meal! Peter was our primary server-he was funny and friendly. The gluten eaters enjoyed a delicious meal. We shared the gluten free fried green tomatoes and calamari (try it with the lemon aioli!) and I loved my gluten free shrimp! We dined upstairs-quiet and scenic. Our glasses were never empty and we left with full bellies! Service is always amazing, the food never disappoints-what more could you ask for? Nothing :)

Updated Review: STILL DELICIOUS!!! It was a beautiful day so we sat outside and enjoyed delicious cocktails, oysters Rockefeller, shrimp and grits (of course) and the halibut special. Service was superb, drinks were refreshing and food was out quick and tasted amazing. It's hard to get anything other than shrimp and grits here but soo glad we also ordered the fish special. It was perfection.

5 stars for entrees and service (and splitting checks for a big party). 3.5 stars for appetizers. We had a reservation for 7 pm for a party of 13 on Friday, 3/29/24. Free valet parking a short walk away. Our table was ready on time and we were seated right away! Great for big parties! The appetizers were pretty basic, but the entrees were great. Here's what I had: - Smoked Fish Spread ($9): Tasted like the whitefish salad from Costco. - Spicy Pimento Cheese Spread ($8): Tasted like the pimento cheese from Costco. - Crispy Artichoke Hearts ($9): Good! - Grilled Salmon ($28): Delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly. The spinach and potatoes were good too! Highly recommend! For drinks, I got the Hot Mama ($11) and Cucumber Basil Gimlet ($12). Both were very good! So reasonably priced! Great service! Everyone enjoyed their entrees. We also got some very tasty dessert! The best part of all was that they were able to do individual checks. We asked beforehand and they were more than willing to accommodate us! I would definitely go back, especially with a big party.

Nice restaurant. Sat upstairs. Great service and great food. I ordered the wedge salad. The blue cheese dressing with the added bacon crumbs was so delicious. Also ordered the gator bites and the shrimp scampi. The gator bites were also good and tasted fresh. The shrimp scampi was good too. Tasted very lemony but the scampi sauce was a little on the watery side, but still a delicious pasta. Also had the bread pudding for dessert and one word: yummy!! If you order the bread pudding, please allow at least 10 minutes for it to be prepared. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing spot for a sit down seafood dinner. The food is always fresh and delicious, my personal favorite is the ahi tuna salad. The wait times can get pretty long during peak time, try to snag a seat at the bar if you can. The bartenders and staff are very friendly and you can order the full menu at the bar.

I checked out North Beach Fish Camp during my business trip to Jacksonville. The server was very friendly! The food was really fresh and delicious. The location is literally a literally right near the beach . Beautiful place to visit for a great sight and good food .

We love North Beach but even as Jacksonville residents, don't go super often. We came here on an impromptu date night and everything was marvelous as usual! We started out with oysters and they were so yummy! I ordered the broiled seafood platter and my husband got the fried. We topped off a great date night with a bread pudding that was incredible! Our server was super sweet, attentive and very pleasant. Definitely recommend if you're looking for seafood and a good environment close to the beach in Jax.

I have actually been alone for lunch a few times in the last week (hubby had business meetings) and I chose to sit at the bar. The same bartender took good care of me and the food was great. They offer fresh seafood, a nice atmosphere at the beach, adult cocktails, and a good experience. For dinner, I recommend making reservations ahead of time. Parking limited and in the evening, the best bet is to valet.

Ah, this seafood is SO great! I have been to another one of their locations, but planned to take a friend from out of town to this location since we would be in the area. Our food was amazing!! We started with a dozen raw oysters which were fresh and *chef's kiss*! I had a glass of white wine since they didn't have a dry rose. It was delicious and paired perfectly with the seafood. We both ordered the Broiled Seafood Platter with Shrimp, Sea Scallops, Cob, Lemon Butter, Parsley Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables. For $24 this is a steal! There was so much fresh seafood. My favorite were the scallops. We were so full we didn't even save room for dessert. I can't wait to go here again soon! Delicious, fresh food in a beautiful area with great people watching! I liked that I could easily make a reservation online for a Sunday dinner. We were seated right away, but our waitress was extremely frazzled. She was slammed, so obviously the service was not great. She spoke a million miles an hour with no breath in between and then would go help another table. We felt very rushed to place our order as she was literally out of breath writing everything down. She was very nice, we just felt bad that she was clearly so overwhelmed. The restaurant is also very loud inside, we were literally yelling!

We recently celebrated a family birthday with a fabulous lunch at NBFC. We started out with delicious shrimp beignets served with an Asian remoulade sauce. I ordered the crab cakes with seasonal vegetables and new potatoes. This was my first time trying NBFC's crab cakes & I thought they were great. I turned to my cousin who got the same entree & asked- why are these potatoes SO delicious? Her response was "butter." Makes sense, yum! When I saw they had a special Fall Old Fashioned, I couldn't resist. It was verrry good. Another great meal at NBFC in the books!

Great service. Locals and tourists. Heart of Beach Towne. Trigger fish and conch fritters were excellent. Blackened tacos were also good. For the non fish eaters- the angus burger was huge.

I can't recommend this place enough! The place was hoppin' when we stopped in. The sangria was delicious, the food top notch and a great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and efficient- our food was delicious. All around great experience!

Despite being a seafood place, they had a very appetizing vegetable lemon pasta which tasted great and appeared to be a fusion of traditional Italian fettuccine pasta with ramen due to its soupy texture. The portion size was massive here and the service was great other than the long wait time in between appetizers and main entrees. Their okra with seasonal vegetables was a very tasty side dish and I also highly recommend their bread pudding as well as their chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Although known for their seafood, they have some great above average vegetarian options!!

We took my mother in law out to dinner here on a Friday night to celebrate her anniversary. The restaurant was full, but we were seated within a few minutes. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. For appetizers, we had the clam Chowder soup and the fish dip. Both were very tasty. Our entrees included the salmon, the blackened grouper and the broiled Cod. The grouper came with cheesy grits and green beans. The other dishes came with potatoes and squash. Everything was delicious. We will return to this restaurant.

My husband and I enjoyed an early dinner here while spending the night at a nearby hotel. I ordered the Asian Chopped Tuna Salad, which was listed under appetizers, as well as the Greek salad. The waitress was kind enough to tell me that I could do half portions of each, so I opted for a half of the Greek salad. I was expecting the Asian Chicken Salad to be quite small, but the portion was huge! The flavor was excellent (kind of like a spicy Asian sauce), and the Tuna was seared perfectly. All of the other seafood dishes looked outstanding, so I would return again if I was in the area. The service was great, and the decor is also very cute. If you like seafood, this is a great option!

North beach fish camp was pretty good for a last minute dinner option. The spicy pimento cheese spread with the bread chips was very yummy. My dad said the clam chowder bowl was some of the best he's ever had. I had a cup of clam chowder it was very good but I did find a big hair in it. We opted for shoestring fries with our meals. I enjoyed them but they are more reminiscent of potato sticks made fresh than shoe string fries. Sort of hard to dip into sauce. My dad liked his mahi mahi fried fish sandwich and my step mom thought hers was okay. The coleslaw she said was average. She liked the wedge fries a lot. I had the clam strips dinner which tasted like your average frozen clam strips - the tartar sauce was very good. The hush puppies were seasoned well. The staycation cocktail was amazing! Could've drank a bunch of those. Didn't stay for dessert but I was imagining getting that key lime pie - their desserts sounded great. Would definitely go back if in town.

We were seated in about 10 minutes by a lovely hostess with an efficient reservation system (Resy). Eric was our waiter and he was wonderful! Super personable and attentive. Our appetizers and meals came out quickly (at the same time, which wasn't ideal) but my hubby did acknowledge it was close to closing time. Everything we ate was tasty! My favorite things were the clam chowder, collard greens in my entree and the hush puppies with real pieces of corn in them. The french fries (actually potato wedges) were also quite tasty. The gator tail should be listed as gator bites. They were good and friend to perfection, but I felt the portion a bit small for the price. My blackened mahi and potatoes were good. The tasso gravy made the fish in my opinion. I had a mocktail mojito that was decent. All in all I would return when in the area and recommend this spot to others. We dined outside and it was a little breezy, but I enjoyed being able to people watch and listen to the hustle and bustle on a Friday night. It looked nice inside but my husband remarked about how loud it was. We closed the night with a Reeses pie to go and it was yummy!

Found the perfect place to enjoy some delicious dessert on a cold, rainy and windy Saturday night near the beach. Seated outside comfy and warm while the outdoor heaters pumped the warmth through the covered dining area. Staff were amazingly friendly and professional. Look forward to a return visit soon!

The restaurant is located in a hopping place near the beach. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is top notch. There are two bars (one upstairs and downstairs) both of which have attentive bartenders. The wait staff is knowledgeable and very prompt. If you want a great meal, an awesome atmosphere, and fantastic service this is a place to visit. The ability to reserve tables online really makes things easy and convenient. We had the Gator Tail, Fish Bites, and Calamari for apps and all were very tasty and plentiful. The Broiled Seafood Platter and Fish Camp Shrimp and Grits were the main entrees. Both were hot, fresh, and mouthwatering. Give this place a visit. You will be back.

I love this spot is an easy walk from the beach. They offer reservations along with indoor and outdoor dining. This was our first time and won't be our last! Our waitress Tianna was so sweet and attentive. She did a great job! We started with the smoked fish spread $9 and an order of hush puppies $3. Both were good and came out fast! We ordered the special blackened Mahi sandwich with fries which was served with an avocado mash on top along with a delicious aioli $18. It was so good and I highly recommend it! Ended with the bread pudding that is made in house $9.50. Everything was great, the food, service and atmosphere. This is a place you will definitely want to try!

Delicious food, awesome service and the perfect table for our party of friends. The lunch menu is perfect for an upscale location, complete with a full bar! Our server was not offended when we asked for separate checks for our party of 6 and she was very attentive throughout our dining experience. I'll happily return with more friends and family because the food was fresh & delicious!

The food is always awesome and the servers are professional. They take reservations too. :)

Cute spot in hopping Neptune Beach. Parking can be limited so give yourself extra time. I'd also suggest making a reservation during prime time. Service was excellent, drinks were good and the sides were awesome. 3 stars because what we came for, the fresh fish was disappointing. I ordered the mahi mahi and shrimp both blackened and they were just WAY over seasoned. Also the raw oysters were the tiniest and clearly not the plump local oysters we've enjoyed all week elsewhere. It seems they use different fish / oysters / shrimp if you order fresh vs fried and I think fried is more their jam. On a good note the grits and smoked butter beans were both delicious.

My mom and I went here at the recommendation of the front desk girl at our hotel and we were not disappointed!! We started out with the crispy artichoke hearts (not pictured) and they were delicious. For dinner my mom got the crab cakes and she said they were the best she's ever had (and lawddd my mom is a picky woman). I was going to get shrimp and grits for my entree but the waiter sold me on the special which was- flounder in a teared presentation with cilantro pesto in the bottom, then jalapeño cheddar chorizo potatoes, arugula then crispy pan seared flounder with an avocado crema and onion remoulade on top. Overall it was amazing!!! I'm so glad I went for it I'm not sure if I'll ever be back to this area, but if I am I will certainly be back. Our waiter Eric was great too!

North Beach is one of our favorite places to visit when we a good view and good food. Their shrimp and grits are amazing and have the best conch fritters and wedge salad. Service is always good as well. Definitely sit outside if you can.

Great location, great service, and amazing seafood. Wonderful appetizers, main courses & desserts. Better make a reservation, this place gets crowded and for good reason. Attended with a group of work colleagues, we tried 4 different appetizers and all were good, the shrimp and tuna were the stand outs. The flounder special was great - the grits were amazing. In terms of dessert, the bread pudding was delicious.

It's always awesome. Try the fried clams with bellies. The special is always great. Had the trigger fish grilled. Prepared just right. This Palm, chain of restaurants is always off the charts.

Again and again. The crew and food at North Beach never ceases to amaze me. Whether date night, hanging with friends, group dinner, or private room -- this is where ya wanna be. Rob is the best! Laura is phenomenal. The service staff--Peter, Mike, I'm sorry I've forgotten everyone's names----but you always remember mine----seriously, the best in class when it comes to service. The food is always incredible, perfectly cooked and well seasoned. If you want to impress or just have a fantastic meal with impeccable service---North Beach Fish Camp is where it's at!

Visiting family and had an early dinner here. We arrived at 5:15 with reservations and it was already pretty busy. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. Several diners stopped by our table to tell us we had the best waiter and were joking around with him. We also had managers stop by to ask how our meal was and clear our table. The food was delicious, so many items to choose from. I had the seafood platter and loved the marinade. Our table also ordered a fried platter, blackened mahi and the skillet trout - all got great reviews. Highly recommend stopping here for a bite!

We love all the fish camps! I love sitting up at the bar with friends is always a great way to spend the afternoon. It can be a bit loud but the food and energy is worth it. I do also love to sit outside and watch all the beach goers walk by. My niece loves to get the fried chicken. The fried green tomatoes are great to start. The oysters are a big hit. The grilled salmon sandwich is sooooo good. There's a lot to enjoy on this menu! I always like to try out the daily special or fresh catch!

Food was okay. A bit salty and my dish was the iron skillet trout. The presentation could be better. The taste is oaky. The restaurant is also very loud and busy. This was our second time. The first was much better

OMG! I live in North Carolina and the only think I could think of is when will I be back in FL. The food and service was amazing and the collard greens tasted like my mamma made them.

Great service and food. Great drinks. Large groups beware, look at menu before arrival.

Good food, good service, good times! I ate so much of their food - I was still digesting my meal the next day. All of their appetizers are great. Try their conch fritters! This was the surprise in my meal. I wasn't expecting it to be so yummy. I tried their cod, which was delicious.

JINA was absolutely amazing! She was very friendly, let us know the specials of the day, and got our food out to us quickly (even though we were waiting for our friends for an hour). She suggested the wahoo special and it was FANTASTIC!!!!! She gave great customer service! Would def recommend her to my friends! THANKS JINA!

Delicious! I got the special, which was jerk-seasoned halibut with cajun rice & green beans, topped with a pineapple medley, and needless to say, there was nothing left on my plate. In fact, I considered eating the plate itself, just to get a last taste of any crumbs that were left behind. The bread pudding was devoured in 4.2 seconds, and you could almost lose a finger with how quickly the gator bites were chomped up. Great place with mounds of flavor with every bite.

Personal Favorite when in Jacksonville Area. Food, Drinks and Service are always spot on!

Be prepared to WAIT during the prime dinner hours. However, despite the wait, the food was great! I had a wedge and peel shrimp. The shrimp were perfect. The fish sandwich was huge and also perfectly cooked. My daughters steak came out great. Will definitely go back.

We decided to go to this fun little place right by the beach in Neptune Beach. We know that there are many in the surrounding area but we chose this one as it was close to some pretty great shopping around the area. We decided to have the red snapper which surprised me it was completely fried when it came out but it was delicious. We decided to have the octopus and white bean salad very tasty very fresh. As well as some of their East Coast oysters... very fresh and delicious the service was amazing our waiter was so funny it was nice to have somebody with such a great sense of humor it does get busy there you can try to make a reservation which I recommend... it is dog friendly... The food was more on the southern heavier side.

Wow. I read the reviews and was excited to try it. So glad I did. While there was a wait for inside seating , I was seated immediately outside. Kallen was my server. Unassuming and an easy flow, the way he presented the specials I knew the halibut would be good. It exceeded by expectations. One of the top five meals I've had this year, it was a culinary experience. Carmalized pork in the jalapeño grits, and the halibut was perfectly crispy on the outside edges while super tender and juicy thru-out. I couldn't bear to order desert because I didn't want to ruin the experience. Excellent service, excellent food- I will be back when I'm in the area.

Food is always phenomenal, great service every time, and laid back classy atmosphere. This place hits the trifecta every time, 10/10. You have to get the bread pudding and the grits no matter what, you're seriously missing out if you don't.

This was our first time staying in this particular area and visiting North Beach Fish Camp and I suspect it won't be the last. We made reservations for two of us and ended up going over early and grabbing seats at the bar because we were hungry! They offer some great mixed drinks so we got started with that option. I enjoyed the Stay-Cation with great strawberry & rosemary flavor. My husband had the Broiled Seafood Platter with a cup of New England Clam chowder to round his meal out. He enjoyed all of the shrimp, scallops, and cod that came with the meal. I went with the Grilled Salmon and found it to be delicious.

Good food service and atmosphere. Price is a little high for what you get. The fish was a little overcooked and slightly dry. But not a bad place to eat.
