Customer Reviews

"It's a great place to see the fireworks on the bay side, the bartender was friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and quiet enough to converse with other patrons. The fish tacos were decent, I'd go with a cabbage slaw instead of iceberg lettuce but that's just me being picky. Get there early because otherwise you'll have a fun time trying to find parking across the street."

- Charles C.

"Nothing like dinner on the bay with great drinks and great people. Anebel made me feel right at home. I felt like a local while eating some amazing shrimp and fish. She made some awesome drinks and made everyone feel welcome. It was like she knew everyone. Almost like everyone was family. I will definitely be back to this spot. You definitely need to come by and try the Coconut Jack drink!"

"First time trying Coconut Jack's and was not disappointed. Annabel was our server and did a great job. The coconut shrimp basket was filling with 8 jumbo shrimp and fries. We also had the fish and shrimp and shrimp tacos they were delicious. Go try it out!"

- Troy L.

"Coconut shrimp was okay. The nachos were edible, but tasted plain with really thick cheese. The bartender was friendly and she made some good mango margaritas. If I return, it would be just for the margaritas."

"I love the deck sitting overlooking the bay. The bartenders were friendly and helpful. I noticed people as they walk from place to place they pop in for a quick drink and leave so it was never too busy. They kept it clean as well. I had the coconut shrimp, very good by the way. I also enjoyed some beer and a delicious mixed drink. It was peaceful, calm and enjoyable."
