After reading real reviews for seafood on the island I landed on Jack Mackerels Island Grill.
I’m not sure why Jack Mackerels has 4.3 rating because it is a solid 5.0!
We arrived and a very bubbly host sat us down in a booth. The bench seats are very comfortable. The decor definitely had an upscal
The best seafood place in the area. It's amazing. The breading on the fried fish is easily the best I've ever had. By the way, get the Jack's Platter! Also, on Monday nights they do ribs and let me tell you... they're amazing. Seriously, the sauce is incredible and the ribs themselves are cooke
Phenomenal staff, delicious food and great ambiance. Fried calamari was fresh and well seasoned. My husband got a grouper wrap but devoured it before I got a picture 😋 all of our food was served in a timely manner. Highly Recommend!!
We really enjoyed this place right up the street from the Kure Beach Pier for lunch. We had the grouper wrap, they also made the lump crab sandwich into a wrap for me instead of the brioche bun, both were delicious. We both had the chef's veggies as our side, but was told that they make their own in
Great family place. Great food. Prices are reasonable. Enjoyable environment with options to eat outside. Staff was fast and very friendly. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. The honey Sriracha lime shrimp appetizer is amazing. All of the food we got was delicious and great quality a
Just a few steps to the beach! Everything is within walking distance including the pier and arcade! Our server Alex was attentive and checked on us many times even though we were the only ones sitting outside. I tried the Friday night pineapple 🍍 special and it was delicious! The kiddos got the kids
Great restaurant in the heart of town. Our server, Chelsea, was friendly, professional, and very attentive. I had the calabash shrimp 🍤 fries and Cole Slaw which was perfect and huge. I took leftovers home and devoured the rest. My friend had the flounder which was two huge pieces, fries, and C
Stopped here for lunch after the aquarium. It was great! I got the Cobb salad with blackened shrimp and the lemon caper vinaigrette. It was so fresh and delicious! My party also got the fried seafood platter which was more than enough for 2 adults to share. The kids each got chicken tenders with fr
Always a favorite at the beach. I've been here numerous times finally leaving a review. We always enjoy the seafood dip and my go to is Jacks Platter, I like it all broiled, the love variety of seafood and their slaw here is great as well. My husband got chicken Alfredo as he's not a seafood per
Great service & great food. We had the oyster poboys & they were fantastic. Great spot for dinner
Great food and drinks. A nice out of the way, well established restaurant. We will definitely go back next time we’re in town!
I usually get crab cakes here, but today I tried the scallops. My husband got their chicken tenders; they were hot and freshly made. He had to allow to cool to eat them. Our waitress Zoe was awesome. Great food, service and fun atmosphere. We go every time we're here.
First the host, is AMAZING! our waitress was so sweet and very attentive, the food was so GOOD! It was our first time here 100% recommended!!
My husband and I had our wedding reception here. I can't express how wonderful the hospitality was. Alex was very involved and our waitress Josie was phenomenal. She kept everyone happy. They set up and took down our cake table, made sure we had plenty of room for our guests, and made our reception
Great little restaurant. Their food is delicious and served hot, with plenty to eat in a portion
Service was good, free parking is very limited (at least they offer it!) The shrimp and grits was very very good. I posted a picture of the menu because many items listed on the “google menu” are not on their actual menu in the restaurant.

Overall not bad portions for the price but no flavor and although the place was fairly empty it still took about 20-30
