  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for live music
Down old highway A1A in Palm Coast, you will find a cozy place also known as 'The Hammock'. There, nestled beneath large oak trees on a barrier island, is a little out of the way place we call 'The Shack'.

Head Chef Jay McNitt serves Florida's finest fresh seafood to enjoy while you relax on our spacious patio and listen to live music. Or enjoy the down home feel of our indoor dining area and full bar. Jay's signature dishes include Lobster rolls, our spectacular Crab Boil, and our line of made from scratch desserts, but everything is a treat at JT's.

Our servers earn their spots with extensive training and experience. They know seafood and our menu like the back of their hand, and they make sure every JT's customer is a repeat customer. They are backed by an expert team to optimize every step of your dining experience. From the appetizer to your refined entrée choice selection to after dinner drinks to watch the band, JT's is everything you want in a seafood restaurant and more.

    I’ve been before and remembered it being good, but last night the entrees were not. The crab dip appetizer was good. But the blackened mahi was not. My daughter got a fish wrap and it made her sick. Our waitress seemed to forget about us but they were very busy. The hostess was really nice though.

    Menu for a seafood restaurant was very limited in seafood - mostly tilapia. The choices seemed to be right off the Sysco truck. As a party of three, we were seated at a table for six. Very awkward dining. A party of 13, mostly children were seated next to us. At another table was a screaming toddler that the parents made no attempt to quiet. Bad food and no ambience. The restaurant advertised nightly music, but the waiter said music is only on weekends now. We won’t be returning nor will we recommend this place. High prices for mediocre food.

    Delicious meals and drink specials. Our server, Michelle, was amazing. Music live outside. Busy bar scene. Fresh seafood. We had 2 plates of blackened scallops & shrimp & a mahi-mahi special. Apps were calamari & crab cakes. Recommend reservations any night for dinner. Very busy on a Monday.

    Liked the new menu items and appreciate seeing some of our favorites still on the menu. Overall the food and drink was good. Only disappointment was when I ordered the catch of the day-tuna, and asked for it to be grilled, which was one of the two ways it was offered to be cooked aside from being blackened. Well, the tuna arrived seared only on the outside and totally uncooked throughout. Apparently their interpretation of grilled tuna and my interpretation of grilled tuna are not quite one and the same. I’m not into eating any uncooked fish. I decided to try it anyway and was disappointed. Lesson learned: when ordering any fish in the future, I will insist that it is cooked thoroughly, since some chefs have difficulty in understanding the difference between searing and grilling a piece of fish.

    Reservations system worked great. Our table was ready when we arrived. John, our waiter,was excellent. He was very attentive and courteous. Food was very good except for one item. The coleslaw was tasteless and the cabbage was tough. That needs a lot of help. Upon checking out, John's credit card processor was defective and I could not get a receipt for my purchase. That should never happen. Rich Harnage.

    The service was excellent. Friendly and smiling staff is what saved the experience. The Mahi and gator tail was ok, but missing something, a small dash of salt did help. Green beans were terrific.

    The service was amazing but sadly the food was disappointing. The shrimp was over fried and and FF were cold. We wanted to try a new place for my mom's birthday 4 of us got the shrimp platter and all of us agree the shrimp were over fried, for the price of the platter at $22 I could have fried my own shrimp. I hope this was just a fluke but we will not be dining here again.

    Food is consistently good. Staff are always friendly, polite and attentive even though they are busy. Adam - the night manager is a ‘working’ boss who cleans up tables and also helps serve food with the wait staff. Great thanks to Adam/jenny/aimee/janus/taylor/liz to name a few. See you soon!!!
