The Surf Restaurant & Bar, Fernandina Beach FL

Food is so much better than a few years ago. I never give up on hometown restaurants but I think I will be here. Sat here with my young kid for lunch. Never even noticed by server. Host came over finally and asked if we had been served yet. Nope. Finally server came over and I ordered drinks. Literally forgotten about again. The place isn’t even busy. Maybe 5-6 tables. Completely annoyed when we finally received our food and then guess what? No silverware. Food sitting in front of us untouched for 15 mins until I had to go find silverware. Hungry crabby 4 year. Done every time I come here to give it another shot, I’m reminded why salt life and sliders are our favorite go to

It's always a sh! T show. No hostess even though you're expected to wait to be seated per the sign that says "see hostess", however, there is no one to offer guidance, so people who don't know the drill are scolded by servers for trying to seat themselves. Horrible. We keep saying we won't return, but this time is the last straw.

No digital pay available. Waitress had no idea about the tea options. Very basic menu. Can imagine it's nice for a game day

Went for lunch & had our pup with us. Jennifer was just amazing! You have to try the rib and grits! Also, the mojito was refreshing.

Seemed like a nice place, but a guy named Sampson attacked us at the bar before we could get our order in. Nice bartender let us return my drink before my party got there and we got away! Beware of Sampson!

The new lounge is set up with pool tables and has great pub food. Enjoy the new ambiance and fresh feel to the place. Food was amazing, If you go get the carnitas tacos and the chicken bacon ranch flatbread so good. Chef Brett and Anna were very welcoming and very excited about the new space.

Others in my group enjoyed their food, but my grouper sandwich was too salty for me to eat. The waitress was cheerful and efficient.

Went to watch Sunday football. Service from Ty was prompt and he made us feel welcome. Food was pretty darn good. Beer was cold. Would go back!

Joes crab shack wishes they could pull off the vibe here. We always go for happy hour. Drinks are good. Food is overall good. Vibes are great!

Mandy our server was great, but the quality of food for the price was very sub par. The fried clam strip basket, in particular, was about 85% breading to actual clam.

The 5 stars is for a nice beach bar. Good atmosphere, good wait staff - shout out to Lindsey, thanks for taking good care of us. Food was good, and plentiful. So much that neither of us could finish (Surf Burger and chicken nachos) The cold draughts went down smoothly and no trouble finishing those. Will make this a regular haunt.

We visit here every time we come down and it's always amazing! The customer service could use a little work but that's everywhere at the moment! The mahi mahi tacos were so yummy!

Across from the beach, been here for years. Menu is more limited then years past, but food, service and drinks are good. Live music is pretty good. I had the Shrimp Po Boy.

We only had beverages. The staff was quick and beverages were cold. It was a slow night, but it looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Pretty good food, nice environment nice place to have a beer or to watch the football game. Beer is really cold and food comes out hot and tasty

I've been going to this place since I was a kid. It's nothing fancy but perfect for when you in the mood for dinner seafood and live music. The staff is completely friendly. The food was on point. The ocean breeze was so nice. 10/10 would recommend anyone to go.

We just had to try the new menu and we were so glad we did. I had the crab ravioli with lemon sauce and my husband had todays special It was out if this world. Order it! Braised beef on savory bread pudding.
