Palms Fish Camp the waterfront restaurant on Heckscher Drive, offers locally caught fresh seafood, pizza, sandwiches, tacos and stunning views. They are open every day of the week starting at 11 a.m. on Jacksonville’s Northside. It’s a highbrow affair at Julington’s Creek Fish Camp (dock at Julington Creek Marina, Pier #3), helmed by Jacksonville-born Ben Groshell, a graduate of the acclaimed Culinary Institute of America. It’s quite refined for dockside dining, and foodies can order the ever-famous Mayport Shrimp & Grits and soft-shell crab. Ben and his wife gave the people what they wanted with Safe Harbor Seafood Restaurant, with two locations, one at Mayport Village and the other on the Intracoastal waters in Jacksonville Beach behind the Beach Marina. This is a more casual, rustic approach to seafood in a cozy environment with indoor and patio seating. It’s all about community here (it’s a magnet for locals), who nom on excellent dishes like their famous oyster po’ boys and shrimp louie salad. In Downtown’s Southbank, and with 62 boats slips that can accommodate up to a 120-foot yacht, River City Brewing Company caters to an array of customers. Whether enjoying happy hour during the week or their very popular Sunday Brunch, their vast menu and relaxed atmosphere allows them to serve the business professional or the casual boater. They offer craft beers and live music on the weekends. Intuition Ale Works has a convenient location to the Metropolitan Park Marina. Intuition Ale Works specializes in small-batch handcrafted ales and aims to create quality, flavorful, and creative beers in a wide range of styles.
There’s no more unique waterfront restaurant in Jacksonville than Clark’s Fish Camp! This Mandarin neighborhood creekside eatery offers delicious fresh seafood and exotic meats from all over the world. The restaurant’s décor is just as impressive as their menu, with one of the largest privately-owned collections of taxidermy in the country that includes lions, tigers, monkeys, bears, giraffes, deer, bobcats, and a whole flock of birds. Also in Mandarin, Wicked Barley – one of the local craft breweries on the Jax Ale Trail – offers a full-service restaurant, a tap room, an outdoor covered patio, a full dock, and even a kayak launch area for visitors traveling on Goodby’s Creek. Wicked Barley is pet friendly and offers 10 of their own beers on draft. A delicious and familiar stop just off the St. John’s River at Goodby’s Channel, Hooter’s offers original wings on their pet-friendly patio. You can catch sports on the big screens or a manatee sighting. Aside from their standard menu of wings, seafood, burgers and salads this location tries to offer new weekly menu items making it a neighborhood favorite and boater’s delight. Already a well-known go to spot on any given sports day, Hurricane Grille & Wings has a convenient location in the Julington Creek Marina. Join in on the heightened sports atmosphere or call ahead for a dockside delivery of any of their menu items that boasts of Tropical-themed menu of all your favorite game day cuisine.
