Quick snack before hitting the beach. Our server Carmesha was excellent. Food (seafood chowder and grouper basket with fries) served quickly and fresh.

It was very busy so we had to wait but it was worth it. I had mahi, steak and shrimp tacos. They were so delicious! The sweet tea was excellent and so was the key lime pie. The waitress was very friendly. Bought my son a hat from their store. A saxophonist names Dexter was there playing live music. He was so good!

Great time, great food, great drinks. Live music was fun. The service was great and took recommendations on mixed drinks like the Madagascar vanilla rum. Beautiful fire pit upstairs and a great view of the ocean. We will come back here again.

By far my favorite place for food, service, and atmosphere in Fernandina. Love eating by the beach. Their sushi and mahi tacos are always my go to but it was my birthday and I decided to do my favorite food crab legs so I went with the crab boil and it didn’t disappoint! Our server was great & he grabbed the whole team to wish me a birthday! Can’t forget the live bands always adding to the vibes. Keep up the good work!

Was so busy enjoying my meal I forgotten to grab pictures of most of what we had! We were seated on the second floor outside area which had wonderful views off the beach and a great breeze which kept us cool even in the middle of the day. The nacho dip work chorizo was absolutely addictive. We had the mix and match tacos, which were ALL great. The staff here is very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend coming here

3/20/25 I was lucky it was Thursday 1/2 price oysters (12.99)! They were the perfect size, fresh and tasty. I ordered to dozen. My wife had the panco chicken with pasta, which was terrific. Service was great and the view from the upper deck was nice. One improvement to offer would be the checkin process, people were very confused who was next to checkin and the line seemed to start at both sides of the hostess kiosk.

Salt Life Food Shack draws you in with its colorful and unique exterior by the water. Inside the restaurant, there is seating with a full bar. Well designed and just as beautiful. If you're looking for a casual date night or family night out, this is a fun place to dine. There is live entertainment which changes daily. We sat indoors, which was nicely air conditioned, and first level outdoors, which was a bit loud but fun. I visited this restaurant two times while vacationing in the area. Reservations are not permitted. You join a wait list inside the restaurant unless you become a VIP, which gives you certain privileges. We waited 30 minutes and five the next visit. The girls who manage the seating are really worker bees! Good job, girls! The team here works well together. Food seems to be consistent, and both the fish and steak tacos are extremely delicious. I loved the guacamole. Taco salad needs improvement as I found it to be lacking in flavor. My teen loved the crab spinach dip with chips, and the seafood boil was good. It just needed a touch more seaoning. The warm cookie with ice cream was shared, and very tasty. All meals are platted so nicely. Drinks are tasty and arrive quickly. A 2 minute walk from the beach, or there is plenty of parking. While you're there, check out the beautiful fish tank featured on Tanked.

Great location to enjoy your meal. Can hear the waves if you sit in one of the patio areas. Great service live music when we were there just made the experience so much better. Nice lounge area to wait to be seated. All around great spot to come with the family and enjoy a great meal.
