Tortuga Jacks @ Sliders Seaside Grill — Restaurant in Fernandina Beach

I just happened to come across this place looking for a great place to eat and have a view of the beach n ocean, fabulously lucky after patiently waiting to get the perfect seat with a great breeze and view. That i would give 10 stars 🌟. I ordered the Shrimp n Grits, Jennifer said they are the best and never a complaint, UMMM I beg to differ. It doesn't state in the menu (I looked again maybe I overlooked) that they put pork in the dish and I don't eat pork. I ate around it best I could but disappointed about it. Just the wait for anything I had already been there for such a time I did want to keep waiting. The sauce is salty and muddled the other flavors.

No excuse for how she was 😒 Food was good, place was clean, and...

Tortuga Jacks is an excellent choice for relaxed beachfront food & drinks on Amelia Island. The bar is very welcoming. If you come through for breakfast, the bartender Jay will be there to greet you. Rosie and the rest of the wait staff are very warm, welcoming and informative. There’s ample room in the dining room but the place to be is the deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The food is easily some of the best on the island. Bruce, the chef is a one-man band, and makes everything to order. The salsa & pico de gallo are prepared fresh in the kitchen by Julie.
