Tortuga Jacks Jekyll - Jekyll Island (GA)

2 /5 Meaghan Johnson: For a mid November- the waitress was incredibly nice. But the food. Oh no I don’t know the right words to describe it so I’ll try my best. Food lacked seasoning of any kind. I’m not sure what they’re trying to go for besides bland, the rice tastes like it was uncle Ben’s microwave rice, no beans were on our plate, gauc came out brown tinted (for a Friday night at 5pm I thought it would be fresh), inside were flies galore, outside had biting ghats. Food was way overpriced for the portion, yea I’m sorry but I ordered dinner chicken fajitas and got maybe 1/2 a chicken breast and 1/2 a pepper and 1/4 of a small onion. I’m just disappointed because so many locals recommended it to us and it was a let down. I do not recommend going to here for dinner. Maybe the drinks are good but I don’t drink.

4 /5 Vidhi: Had an ocean side view while eating with local band playing. Service was extremely kind and attentive to any needs. BEST peach daiquiri I’ve ever had, highly recommend. Ordered the fajita de pollo and chile relleno. Fajitas were a bit bland but nothing some hot sauce can’t fix. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a good meal and vibes on the island.

1 /5 Chet Manley: Where to even begin. I hate giving one star reviews because people usually skip over them, but this place truly earned it. The food was so terrible a literally spit it out onto my plate, not out of disgust, but out of instinct. I got the fish and chips. The fish was beyond mushy, there was no texture at all. The fries had an odd taste to them as well that made it seem as though their oil was overdue for a change and the hush puppies were burned on the outside and not quite cooked on the inside. The service was slow, but the wait staff was courteous. The waitress did remove my entree from out bill, fortunately, but the over all experience was so bad we will not be giving it a second chance. Fortunately I had a MRE that has been sitting in my glove box all summer so I didnt starve on the 2 hour drive home. Thats right, a heat abused MRE was tastier than the food here. Do yourself a big favor and skip this place, you wont be missing anything.

5 /5 Erin Vahey-Worthing: We always come here when were on the island. The food is always good. The staff is friendly and willing to answer questions to help you decide what you want. The live music was loaded with so much nostalgia that we had the best conversations all night, even after we left. Always a good vibe!

3 /5 Regina Roses: We were really looking forward to enjoying Mexican Food while staying on Jekyl Island but this place was a disappointment. Maybe it’s because it’s the off season- but it was not very good. My husband ordered the taco Tuesday special (just 2 ground beef tacos… it’s the only choice) then he added a side of beans and rice. The refried beans were flavorless and completely dried out. And the tacos were like they dropped a bottle of taco seasoning in the meat- he couldn’t even finish the 2 tacos they were that bad. I just ordered a salad and added chicken. It was a decent sized plain said with a ton of very seasoned chicken breast. The ranch dressing is not very good (taste like yogurt). Let’s just say we did not return here on our week long stay.
