“ Yeah, this was a wonderful experience. I had the crabcakes and they were absolutely fantastic. Hardly any filler and the crust was great. I normally never eat the sauce because I’ve never had a good one until today. Came with hush puppies which were huge and very delicious. Fiance had a burger which was out of this world. It is a beautiful well decorated place and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or nicer. I’m very seriously thinking about going back there again tomorrow night. ”
“ Snapperz Grill, Unique Fun decor, *nothing like a chain restaurant* original menu, best french fries I've had in the USA! Scrumptious!! Ask for Shirley. She's formally trained in culinary arts. She knows food and she knows seafood. Me and my guest were totally enchanted with her service and knowledge. This was a very memorable lunch. We left full and smiling. The owner has a certain panache with decorating skills. Each booth is dedicated to a specific fish. Each booth you can also get an education on that fish. This is worth going out of your way for the menu is reasonably priced. Service is worth Michelin stars. ”
“ Ms. Tina was awesome! We tried everything she recommended and we were not disappointed. My husband is a picky eater, but he absolutely loved the Fish Tacos. The Shrimp Salad was great too. Well done ”
“ Everything about this was perfection. From the fact that they gave you little towelettes to the Shell bucket to the fact that the owner came around and wanted to see how you were doing everything was perfection. This is definitely a chef's kiss kind of place. All the food was amazing and I think for the price it was very reasonable. I would have come here more if I stayed longer. The steam bucket was actually so much food that I was not able to finish it which was absolutely wild. What a great price for delicious food ”
“ Wow! Landed at Snapperz Grill after three other restaurants, closer to where we were staying, were either full, loud or too hot. So glad we did. We were warmly greeted and seated quickly. Our waitress, Cameron, was friendly and attentive. We ordered salads with hush puppies and chips for sides (yeah, had to try them). Hush puppies were probably some of the best we've had. The chips were crispy, thin, lightly seasoned and very tasty. Our salads came with a slice of cornbread and it was outstanding (my wife was so happy with it the manager / owner brought her a plate with several more pieces). It really was delicious. I ordered my salad with a blackened tuna steak but I like my tuna steaks well done. I don't want them pink in the middle. Most places undercook them for my taste and are hesitant to cook them well done. Cameron even clarified that I wanted it "well done". It came out perfect. Done all the way through with nice grill marks and perfect blackened seasoning. I believe the cook was named Brendan and he absolutely nailed it. Had a great dinner. Atmosphere was casual and upbeat. If I had to pick one thing to improve, it would only be the wooden seating in the booths. Cushions would be nice for my old rear end. However, that wasn't enough to keep us away since we went back for lunch the next day. We will definitely visit Snapperz again when we're in the Atlantic Beach area. HIGHLY recommended. ”
“ We were greeted by the hostess & given a wait time of 30 mins. She sat us in less than 10! While waiting, I was very pleased to see a near perfect health rating posted!! Our server was friendly & very attentive & made great recommendations! Thanks Zip! We had the shrimp steam pots. They were delicious! The shrimp was fresh & perfectly cooked! The atmosphere is very family friendly. Definitely recommend this place if you like good food & good service! ”
“ While visiting the Crystal Coast we always make a point to visit one of the Snapperz locations. It never disappoints! Top Notch Food, Seafood prepared to perfection and Stellar Service. Tonight Miss Cameron was our waitress and she was a sweetheart! I will always dine at Snapperz! ”
