OP Fish House and Oyster Bar

Everything we ordered was good. The lobster roll was great. Key Lime Pie is a must. The old fashioned was also tasty. Works

Had a Wonderful time at the OP Fish House and Oyster Bar! Oysters were awesome! Had them Raw and also Rockefeller (Parm,spinach,Onions,Bacon topped) wife had the 3 Fresh Fish Selection with 2 Sides Broiled. Trigger Fish can never go wrong! Scallops were cooked perfectly and the Mahi! Everything was seasoned perfectly! If you get a chance to get Royal Reds on Shrimp do so! They are sweet and with butter have a lobster taste! Good selection of Beer and Wine! Red Sangria was perfect not overly sweet but not dry either! Have to give a shout out to Bella our server she did a great job and the evening perfect! Place is set inside a house and we sat in the front which was not secluded but didn't seem overly crammed or noisy. They have a neat section on the porch as well. Collards had a bacon smoked taste and the pimento cheese grits were very good!

Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion size for the food. We ordered the gator bites as an appetizer but ate all before I could take a photo. The best thing we got was the ravioli with the lobster, it was $33, super thick and creamy and you get alot for your money and there was a hefty amount of lobster in the ravioli meal. I got the po boy sandwich meal, which comes with one side. I got the Oysters. The sandwich itself was pretty good and fresh. I really enjoyed the sweet potatoe fries it came with also I love the marshmallow fluff for the fries such a good idea. 10/10 will be coming back again. Also the waitress was super amazing and attentive!

1st time here. We were seated quickly. I ordered the Bloody Mary and Shrimp and grits. Fantastic! My S.O. ordered the Binny with lump crab. Beautiful presentation, a bit light on seasoning. Jenna was our server/bartender and she was amazing- attentive, and very friendly. Would definitely return.

This restaurant is inside an old historic house, so the sitting is a little tight. The atmosphere and service are good. Reservations are not required but will help with wait time. The food is very enjoyable. I had the whole fried flounder. This is a good place for seafood.

Another wonderful outing to the Fish Hpuse. I of course ordered all the oysters and fish tacos w/ the bang bang sauce. They are my go to items and they fill you up. A must try if you haven't The service is always friendly and timely. I love it here!

We gave OP Fishhouse another try last night and it was great. Allison, our server, wanted us to come back and give them one try after our last visit that was sub-par. And we are glad we did! The whole experience was fantastic! The food, the service and the atmosphere were what you want for a Saturday date night. Thank you, Allison for inviting us back and for a great dinner.

After reading all of the positive reviews, I am tossed up whether it was just a bad night or kind comments from regular customers. I will say the young lady that I had as a waitress was absolutely amazing and very attentive. Now I have no problems spending $90 for two people to eat. With that being said, though for $90, I would expect the food to be fresh edible. The signature mashed potatoes I don’t know what to think, nor say of those. It definitely was not pleasant. The shrimp that I had had a frozen taste to them not only with my meal, but also the bang bang shrimp as an appetizer. The batter used was not cooked completely. Did have a good flavor although overcooked extremely dry to the point, the salmon, I was able to eat but the mahi I could not finish wound up, spitting it back into my napkin hush puppies just like the fish was extremely dry. Collard greens were more stems than leaves, which gave it a bitter taste. I was definitely disappointed as to this place came highly recommended. Then when it comes to the cleanliness of the place, definitely can use a thorough cleaning. Dust and dirt, right where you were eating at and just about everywhere you look. Went to the bathroom. It was the exact same way. We’re leaving the bathroom. I peaked into the kitchen noticing people not wearing gloves and a huge trashcan with the whole cut in the middle of itwith just food thrown all on the top of it in the floor around it. Needless to say, I do not think I will be returning, very disappointed.

Great Best Brussel Sprouts I have ever eaten Service was good Scheduling reservations is a place they need to review and improve.. but the food is what people want to know about.. this restaurant is a solid 5*

Ughhh I wanted to like OpFish House. I had heard raves and read great reviews. We sat at the bar to circumvent a 45 minute wait, 3:30 on a Sunday. We had ordered drinks and food was at table before the bartender mentioned the ac didn't work on that side of the building, it was 93° outside at that moment. We ordered 2 Shark tales drinks, I do not drink i requested something that doesnt taste like alcohol. Bartender suggested The Shark tales drink. It is just straight up tossing a bunch of sweet mixers in a cup with a candy shark garnish. Once Mixed the drink comes out the color and transpranency of dirty paint water, not appetizing. The food was cooked well, all came from kitchen in timely manner. The fried tomatoes and calamari cooked to perfection. We left after entrees were delivered to table. Took it home in boxes. It was upon trying to eat the entrees I realized both the po boy sandwich and the hot lobster roll had pimento cheese schmeared - both NOT Po boy sauce OR Butter as the menu described. No where in the description of either sandwich is pimento cheese listed. I don't want pimento cheese on EVERY part of my meal. Yuck, we were not able to eat either sandwich. Plus I ended up with sweet potato fries and marshmallow fluff?? I didn't even ask for sweet potato fries. Why do they come with marshmallow fluff?? Why? So much damn sugar!! The whole stupid menu a sugary nastiness covered in HOMEMADE pimento cheese. Such bullshit for a $120 bill. I will not go back and I will be telling anyone that will listen to steer away from here. Not worth the money or time.

We've been here twice and both times great!! No wait to be seated, friendly service, friendly guests. We ordered the fried green tomatoes (the best), catfish nuggets (delicious! ), trigger with mashed potatoes & green beans, blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and collard greens. Everything was seasoned just right and cooked just right! The first time went we had oysters, grouper and grits. Soooo good!

From the moment I arrived something was off about this place. It's not as if I can point to one specific thing. It was just an overall feeling I had. The food was actually very good. I had the seafood platter all fried. It was OK. It came with green beans and french fries which were crinkle cut. I know enough about eating out to know that a crinkle cut french fries is frozen before being fried for your specific order. The point is they are not fresh potatoes, which causes me to question what other ingredients coming from the kitchen are not fresh but frozen the food was actually good enough to warrant a return to this establishment. However, the weight staff was annoyed, and not friendly.

Food is excellent not too pricey. The ambiance is right for the Menu but cleanliness is escaping them. The floors, chairs and table edges are sticky inside. The tables are not consistently cleaned on the side but it's worth taking your chances.

OP Fish House is making me rethink every 5 star review I've ever given. NEVER, HAVE I EVER..... 1. Had a plate full of food and everything on it was amazing! If you don't know what I'm talking about you are spoiled! The Captain's Breakfast comes with a scrambled egg (more like 3), a delicious perfectly homemade southern biscuit, sausage, a piece of grilled and a piece of fried chicken, sausage gravy, and a side. I chose the Jalapeno cheese grits. Dude! Amazing! The best grits ever! 2. Bottomless Zing Zang bloody Mary's and Wycliff Mimosas for $10.99. OMG! Really???? I'm used to paying $2.75 for a riff raff bloody and drinking several. 3. Service so good the staff come to eat on their time off! Super friendly! Everything you could want for a brunch! 4. The restaurant was built into an old farmhouse. It's over 100 years old and yet beautifully decorated to meet its seafaring clientele. I love this place. I will be back to try their weekly specials and anytime I come back to the area. This is one of my most highly recommended places EVER to eat.

We started our meal with calamari which was supposed to include banana peppers. The calamari pieces were large and cooked perfectly. Would've loved to have had more banana peppers since we could only find about 6 pieces. They add the perfect complement to the calamari. We also ordered the hush puppies with the mixed jam. I love hush puppies but have to say these were not very good at all. They were so hard we could barely bite through them. Plus, $16 seems really steep. Finished off with a Po' Boy with oysters. In my opinion the roll chosen for a Po' Boy makes or breaks the sandwich. This roll was fantastic! The oysters were ok but we're overcooked.

This place is cool, creative and entirely focused on the culinary side of downhome seafood. It's everything an oyster bar and seafood restaurant should be. Tucked away in a natural setting. Situated in an historic, old house. Servers and cooks moving quickly around serving customers with a smile and great food. It's the kind of place that you're glad that exists. The ambiance is no joke either. Outdoor seating and an outdoor bar. Indoor seating with wild murals of giant squid, fish and octopus. And again an off-the-beaten path backyard kind of feel. It's also clearly a family place with menu items credited to family members. Makes you feel like some of the food has been refined over the years. So, yeah 5 stars. I'll definitely go back when I'm back in Jax. And take the whole family. Cause that's who they're cooking for.

At op fish house now and Taylor the bar tender is outstanding! Great smile and service!

I got the shrimp and grits and I really liked it but my husband got the fresh catch sandwich and the fish was flavorless and so so dry. He was so hungry he tried to fix it by putting ketchup and hot sauce, tarter and grits from my plate and he said it was beyond fixing even The French fries were good. The place was a mess I guess it was just after lunch or brunch.

We had a wonderful time saying farewell to a dear friend. The food was awesome and the service was great. We will be back.

7/16 made a reservation for 5 for 730. It is now 7:24. We let the hostess know we were here for a reservation for 730. Said sorry we gave it to another party of 5 that just came in. Tell me how that works. Was told there was a wait time. Never coming back. Don't make a reservation. It does not work.

I came for all you can eat shrimp on Tuesday, the food was amazing! Lauren did such a good job at making sure I had everything I needed. I will be coming back !

Holy Wednesdays 60 cent oysters! The super chunky crab stew was amazing! We drove from the west coast to Jacksonville to enjoy this incredibly delicious meal. And yes, all four dozen were just for me...

I'm a big fan of the menu and love the other locations; Seafood kitchen, Julington creek fish house and New Berlin fish house. I've been to this location three times and it is consistently terrible. They frequently run out of the nightly specials early in the evening. Extremely slow service is the norm, once it took well over an hour!

Fun place for lobster and dinner with friends or date night. We went for lobster night (Thursdays) the service was very good. The food was great I really enjoyed my cocktail. It's in an old house which really is charming.

The Captain's Platter was excellent as usual. Our server, Lauren, was very informative and helpful. Always nice to have a full glass of drink. Come here ....You won't be disappointed.

We love having family dinner here. The food is always fresh and full of flavor. The brussels being combined w sausage was a nice touch. Our server was amazing and having a few restless children, he handled them well. I love that we are able to get quality seafood with a casual environment.

This place is so charming. It's a renovated house turned into a restaurant. It had pretty good seafood, and the server did a decent job.

There wasn't really much that seemed decent in the vicinity, but this place had decent reviews so I thought we'd give it a try. Well, what a hidden secret this place was! Friendly, professional staff, fresh delicious food at ridiculously low prices and a cool ambience and vibe. Very rarely do I receive seafood orders that I have trouble finishing - typically they are expensive and are small portions. Well, not here I can tell you! The scallops, shrimp, crab were exceptional. And did I mention the portions? Huge, and for very low prices. Loved every minute of it. Definitely bookmarking this one!

Phenomenal food and bottomless mimosas? Yes please. Seriously. This place is a hidden gem of Jacksonville. Just a hop skip to orange park with just gourmet food. Worth every penny. Jenna was a fantastic bar tender/ server. Can't wait to come back!!

Nice local seafood spot. We like to go for oyster Wednesdays. (.60 oysters) The Chef Jason Brussels appetizer is probably my favorite thing ever. They have a great weekend brunch menu also. The bottomless mimosas for brunch is nice. Good selection of beers & cocktails as well. Good amount of outdoor seating. Over all it's a great place for brunch, lunch, & dinner.

We wanted seafood but didn't want to go all the way to the beach area so we decided to come here. So glad we did because the food was fresh and delicious! I got the stuffed grouper with bacon collard greens (wow!$ and sweet potato fries. It's a good portion dish and ended up taking half of it home for dinner. The grouper was well cooked and yummy. That collard greens though! I have never had collard greens like that before and was soo soo good! I just can't explain how good it was! My husband got fried shrimp with fries (he doesn't venture out much) and he said it was good. He got the lunch portion so his came with one side and he ordered crinkle fries. They came out as if they just came out of the fryer. This is definitely a repeater for us!

This place is a gem. Feels like old Florida inside. I cant wait to go back. Fresh seafood, fresh ingredients fresh service. I love this menu. If you dont look hard, put it in your GPS you might miss it. Its an old looking house with tons of character. Theres a porch, patio lots of open feeling areas. Really cool place and excellent food. We went for lunch but dinner looks like it would be fun. Cool little bar, wine options local beers. Yes please. I will be back.

First time. The friendliest staff you will find anywhere! Greeted and seated almost immediately even though many tables reserved. Will remember next time. Ally (our server) constantly checking on us. Hope we have her again. Food delivered quickly, hot. Only cons: 4 top tables small. Fairly noisy on Saturday night. Will be back. Prices reasonable. New favorite place!

I've been to OP Fish house many times over the years. For Orange Park, it's a gem! The latest experience was phenomenal from the attentive, kind server to the delicious food. Our server, Jaden, was so patient with my family that can be difficult to please. Everything was smooth and he made our experience here tonight. He was very polite and my family was impressed with the quality service he provided as well. The food was great tonight. I got huge peel n eat shrimp, my husband got shrimp n grits, my mom got shrimp tacos, and my dad and brother got captain's platters. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. The icing on the cake was Jaden offered my dad his choice of dessert for his birthday. I've had poor experiences here before, but it seems like it has really turned around. We had such a great evening!

We ate lunch at OP's . The service was very good and the place has a nice feel. They serve hush puppies with a berry sauce that is really tasty. I highly recommend this place.

This is my second time eating at the restaurant. I was there for a baby shower, and the restaurant provided us with a separate room from the main restaurant. While the A/C was out due to unforeseeable events, back up A/C and ventilation were provided. The event space was cozy and intimate. Our waitress easily and seamlessly catered to our needs, and was very friendly. The food was fresh and tasty, and all of our food came out at about the same time. I recommend the OP Fish House for a casual dinner or special event.

We have eaten here several times. Food is delicious, service good in a quaint, comfortable setting. Tonight, our server Hannah, was attentive and quite efficient, as well as friendly. My grouper was some of the best I have had. Reservations are a good idea. Daily specials are awesome! Check them out!

We've been to OP Fish several times, and overall we enjoy it. A few details this last time were a bit off. The appetizer plates were wet and had food residue. One of the cutlery pieces also had food residue. We were seated on the patio, and it was a pleasant afternoon. We asked if the fan could be turned to a lower speed, as it was blowing hard on us, napkins on table, etc. Our server returned and told us the fan only had one speed, and she didn't ask if we would prefer to javelin it turned off. Some tables had fans off, so we would have appreciated that option. We enjoyed our beverages and the $10/lb snow crab legs. It would have been nice to have seafood picks or small forks, as it was challenging to get all the meat out of the skinnier shells.

The staff was great, ambiance is very nice We ordered take out fish tacos and shrimp tacos, both were so soggy that they were impossible to pick up, I can get beyond that (they included forks), but then we tried to eat they they were smothered in salt. We couldn't taste the fish or the shrimp. Lastly there web page prices are different than the prices at the restaurant

First time here....loved the funky atmosphere and ambience....immediately seated by the hostess with a waitress right on her heels for drinks. Extensive menu with some great choices. I got the low country boil....served hot with lots of shrimp and crab legs.....delicious! I'll be back!!!

My 2nd time at OP Fish. Our party of 4 was celebrating a wedding anniversary & a birthday. The celebrant picked the place. Though I was not too impressed the first time, I' was pleasantly surprised this time around. Everything tasted wonderfully fresh. We had a very nice table in the front by the windows. It was cozy & away from the crowd. Near the bar. Great food & excellent service. We had the best server Ally. Very patient & friendly. The whole staff were super friendly. My dish was a combo of 2 seafoods & 2 sides. It was a very good deal. Blackened Mahi & Scallops with two side. It was well seasoned & the scallops were plump & juicy. My husband had the crab cakes. It was delicious. Our friends dish looked great too. Shrimp & Grits & Lobster Ravioli. The beer & wine offering was pretty good. We surprised our couple friend with a red velvet cake for the anniversary & the staff were super helpful with it. Our friends decided to leave the rest of the cake for the staff to enjoy. Our friend raved about the Lobster Roll from their previous visit. I will definitely be back for that. I'd also come back for their Brunch & Lobster special on Thursdays. Overall it was a great dining experience at OP Fish.

Visiting this side of town and found this amazing place for dinner. Everything we ordered tasted delicious and fresh. For appetizers, we ordered gator tails. My husband and I split the Captains platter which is a wise decision since the serving is big and can feed 2 people. Both appetizer and entree are not fishy at all. The sawgrass chocolate cake was the best way to end our meal. Not only did we enjoy the food, service was good. Food was served quickly and server was on top of things. Highly recommended.

Do not waste your time or hard earned money on this place, This is my second bad review of this establishment, I decided to give it another shot tonight and completely regret my decision. Long wait 35 minutes with several empty tables, ok no big deal, price for amount of food very high, expected these days but the kicker was being served oysters with no crackers, sauce, lemons etc brought out with it, I asked two waitresses waited ten plus minutes and had to go get the condiments myself, by then the oysters were cold, soup appetizer showed 20 minutes later after the oysters, it was supposed to come with hush puppies again had to ask the waitresses who said she would bring them right out another wait, well I ate cold soup as well. We had intentions of ordering additional oysters never had the chance or was asked. Oh and did I mention 40 minute wait for a dozen cold oysters and a bowl of cold soup. So disappointing and all they said was sorry, with inflation on the rise patrons still out spending hard earned money should be appreciated more!

If you like expensive, crowded, noisy, cramped dining then this is your place. I applaud them for repurposing an old house but it just doesn't work for me. The food is generally good though and well portioned. It's just hard to enjoy the experience. Also management needs to examine the meaning of customers first, honoring reservations including requests and responding to customer needs. The place is popular which leads to looooong wait times at the busiest hours. Do I recommend? Maybe. Will I go back? Maybe at off-hours. Just realize what you're getting into if you decide to try it.

Local gem for great, fresh seafood, easy online reservations, and fabulous customer service! A big thank you to Jenna and compliments to the chef for a tasty brunch in a quaint, corner table. Looking forward to our next visit!

This restaurant is especially adorable during the holidays. You have to try the lobster and ricotta ravioli and the key lime pie. They get it from Cinnotis bakery and wow the layer of merengue is fantastic.

Great food great prices ! My grandpa loves ordering from here. Great fish combo. Big fan of all the sides. I'm not a fish fan so i got a burger and whheoooowwwww that's a big ol burger ! Huge chunk of meat. I've always been a big fan of the plating. The faux newspaper is so delightful. It brings a smile to the face. I Love the collard greens. I have eaten like 3 sides worth I can't get enough ! The juice at the bottom of the container is my special little treat. No pics because I ate everything so fast when my aunt brought it home for take out.

Pros: Good drinks. Fish dip was delicious. Server was friendly. Cons: Ordered 6 steamed oysters with drinks, well before entrees, which arrived after our meals were done. They were small, overcooked and flavorless. Except for one which was still raw. The raw one was better but still tasteless. The broiled seafood was overly salty. All of it. And I love salt. For the price, this was just way below par and I won't likely return.

Visited 5/19 for dinner a party of 5. Our service with Lauren was spectacular! She was knowledgeable with menu items and a great personality, she loves her job..so attentive to patrons as well. While waiting for a table she suggested to sit in her area to be served with no delay! So accommodating and a pleasure all around. The food was exceptional as always and will definitely return with such great service! Thanks Lauren you made our dinner party so welcomed! Such a great asset to the team at OP'S.

Taylor (bartender) was super wonderful for our brunch experience and will be the reason that we come back!

Arrived at 12:15 on a Monday, no problem getting a table. I got a fried grouper sandwich and rustic potatoes . Grouper was delicious! I'll pass on the potatoes next time-whatever they use to season them is just not my cup of tea (vinegar maybe?). Hubby got the Grouper dinner(blackened), coleslaw, and greens. All were very delicious! I not a huge fan of coleslaw, but I couldn't help stealing forkfuls of the hubbys slaw! Yum! With water to drink, our bill came to almost $50...a little steep for lunch, but good for a splurge because the seafood is just that good!!

This place is amazing! The Brussels sprouts appetizer is so amazing. I've tried to make it at home! All the food my husband and I have had has been great! Planning another date night already!

The restaurant looks like a house. Pay close attention or you may pass it. I enjoyed my watermelon margarita with an extra shot was great. It had real watermelon in it. They didn't have a variety of breakfast options..no breakfast meats . The shrimp and grits were not so great. It had like 5 shrimps and a lot of grits. Not a lot of taste.

Excellent old school fish and seafood restaurant. Oyster night was the best. Good place for locals to gather and enjoy good seafood.

Awful will not return or recommend needs much attention to detail dinning rooms need some serious attention cleaning, nice friendly staff Food is tastelessness Blane & poor presentation. dirty floor restrooms will not even comment. Good luck guys Fried Green Tomatoes Over Priced $16.99 fried green tomatoes Really.

Good food, good service. Make a reservation because the wait get a bit long. Try everything in the menu but I do recommend the oysters

Food was spectacular. Service A1 10/10 would recommend to everyone Ambiance is very nice fits the theme

Very disappointed in service and food. Have been coming here since they opened in OP. It was absolutely delicious when they opened and was so until 6-9 months ago. Every time we have come in lately has gotten worse. This last time which was 4-20-24 (a great day 420) was horrible. 1st we waited at our table outside for at least 20+ minutes. So I went and told the hostess she did send the waitress. FORGOT TO SAY THEY WERE NOT BUZY!! In fact went in for an early dinner around 4. Next the food smelled BAD FISHY! And tasted the same. When I complained they really didn't care or at least there actions didn't show so. They did AGREE to take my meal off bill but wanted me to just eat it. Wasn't happening! Should have taken pic but didn't look bad and since pics don't have smell-a-vision or taste-a-vision I figured why? My suggestion is stay away. That's what I will be doing. Staying away. SHRIMP SHACK would have been lots better or even Captain D's. So sorry to feel I need to write this review. Good Luck if you try this place
