Where to Eat in Atlantic Beach: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Atlantic Beach is a city in Duval County, Florida, United States and part of the Jacksonville Beaches communities. When the majority of communities in Duval County consolidated with Jacksonville in 1968, Atlantic Beach, along with Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, and Baldwin, remained quasi-independent. Like the other towns, it maintains its own municipal government, but its residents vote in the Jacksonville mayoral election and have representation on the Jacksonville city council. The population was 12,655 at the 2010 census.
Things to do in Atlantic Beach
1. Seafood Kitchen

OUR STORY Let Seafood Kitchen serve you the freshest seafood Jacksonville has to offer. The Stuart's- father and son duo- have been serving ridiculously large portions at super low prices for 32 years and counting! Seafood Kitchen has a new face to share with Jacksonville. The Stuarts still hang their biggest catch on the wall, they still serve huge family portions, fishermen still boast about their latest catch, and generations of local patrons dine with tourist and businessmen on locally, and often owner caught seafood.

Seafood Kitchen is one of our favorite seafood restaurants in Jax to eat at. The seafood is always fresh and most often local caught. The owner makes numerous trips around the dining room to ensure you are enjoying your meal with no issues. Most recently we went for the crawfish as they are in season and my husband was very happy with them. A special shout out to Meledy and the great service she provided. Definitely recommend and will return.

The restaurant is located in trendy, busy, hard-to-park-in Atlantic Beach. Reservations are strongly recommended as this place is super popular and jammed.
The atmosphere is loud (really loud) with a high level of energy. Tables are close together making privacy non-existent. But all that proximity and noise is actually part of the charm of the place. Just know this isn't a restaurant to select for a romantic, quiet dinner.
The menu is long and good. Good option for a group, fun meal.
3. Whit's Frozen Custard
Overall Ratings
5 based on 104 reviews
You will recognize Whit's frozen custard as superior frozen custard because we spare no expense in obtaining the highest quality ingredients -- from our fresh cream and pasteurized eggs to the premium chocolates, fruit toppings, and fresh roasted nuts. And, as always, Whit's frozen custard is 90% fat free. Whit's frozen custard is made fresh daily, right in our store.

Stopped in after having dinner around the corner after hearing about Whit's. They offer a daily flavor (listed on a posted calendar) along with vanilla and chocolate. Many toppings are offered so you can really make up the sundae of your dreams. Vanilla was okay, we have had better but I think for a treat down the beach this is the place to stop. Great service even for being a busy time in the evening.

Our party of 12 arrived for a late lunch and were pleasantly please that we could still order some breakfast items. There were a variety of options to choose with the majority of our group choosing The Five, a biscuit with fried chicken, gravy, cheese and bacon with a bit of spice. It was more than good, it was great. The grits were also good and the smoked bacon was wonderful. I was still a bit hungry so I decided to put in an order for the cinnamon type biscuit covered in sweet glaze, it was also very good and the little bit of cinnamon chips baked into the biscuit was a great treat. The owner was on hand and she was very pleasant and they really took good care of our group.

Two or 3 times a year, a few of us couples have to make it to Safe Harbor Seafood and Market in Jacksonville, FL from Pompano Beach, FL a 41/2 hour drive. There are 2 things we can count on for sure, is that we will have to wait in line and the fresh and Delicious crabs, lobsters, fish and shrimps. It is worth the drive.

We have been here several times for fun and family dinners. The atmosphere is electric and the food is wonderful. We had 7 without a reservation on a busy Sunday evening and were seated in 20 minutes. They were packed but made it happen. Table side guacamole is the best! Service and food was great, everyone had a different assortment of tacos. We will be back!

Third visit combo plate: shrimp and oysters
Shrimp r the the best anywhere, and so were the oysters—which were bigger and even tastier than last time. Got there at 1130 this sat. Although the apparent height of rush, the line moved quickly, approximately 7 minutes. Ate on terrace as was nice and cool and found table.
The absolute best place for seafood in very cas atmosphere!!!!!!

We went here with friends for a cozy night out and it delivered WAY more than expected. The place is huge -designed with lots of eye-catching decor - but arranged so that it still feels like there are little snug private areas in a really expansive environment. Excellent food. Service was good, if a bit officious and businesslike. Some people like that - no complaints about it, just not my style. The brussel sprouts appetizer was TO DIE FOR. The lasagne was the best I ever had. They have valet parking so no worries about the locale.

Was there in January and received usual large portion meals but items were cold. Today the bread was served frozen on a pastrami sandwich. Unbelievable! Guess it is going down hill as it claims high rating but don't want to maintain the rating. Won't be back anytime soon. So sad....
