Reviews for Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar & Store in Jacksonville, FL

Been here two times, but wanted to wait until I ate there to give a full review. The first time I came here was during the week.... I sat at the bar because I just had lunch and only wanted a drink. I asked if they had specific interests for a drink I hadtried recently at a restaurant in Orlando. The bartender, Jamie, let me know they did. She checked to make sure after and saidthey were out of mango rum. I asked if they had coconut, and they did. So we used that to make a rum runner. It was really goodand I loved the little flower decor added to it. Super sweet. I used the restroom that time and it was clean. The second time Iwent was this past Saturday. They were really busy. We ordered at the front counter. We both ordered Cubans. He asked for nopickles and nothing spicy. I asked for no cheese and nothing spicy. We had to seat ourselves. So I found a table in the veryback corner and we sat there after the server cleaned it up. We got our drinks first. I ordered the same drink as last time. Myfriend tried the jalapeno drink. He didn't like his, so he switched it to what I had. Which took a while to make. We got oursandwiches right after. My friend's sandwich was right, but mine still had cheese. I can't have dairy, so I had to scrape thecheese off, and there were no napkins. I had to ask the server for some when she finally came back over. This time when Ivisited the restroom, it was dirty, but they were busy, so I'm sure they hadn't had a chance to stop. I wasn't able to tell theserver because she never came back to the table. We ended up going up front to pay because we hadn't seen her in awhile andwanted to get to the Christmas event they were doing at Town Center. We had the manager switch the drink to mine, since theyhave you prepay beforehand. We saw the server at the bar as we were checking out. All in all, I would go again. I would just bemore explicit when ordering so it's not made wrong again Read more

Tacos were pretty good. Large portions and the ahi tuna bowl was too salty according to wife. The mai tai was excellent with a... solid dark rum floater...the way it should be. Not a fan of the order at the bar and seat yourself set up. Read more

Good tacos, nice spot to grab a bite to eat. Bit pricy. Walk up style ordering. You can either order and pay for your food and... drink then sit down with a red table top number or you can order a round of food/drink then sit with a green table number andthey will come around to let you order more food and drinks. My friends and I just ordered and paid. Wasn?t very busy so wepicked a table away from the edges to stay as cool as possible. I ordered the blackened mahi mahi tacos (comes with 2 for $13)and my friend ordered the carnitas tacos (2 for $12) so we could trade and try one of each. I thought the flavor of the tuna andtoppings was great! I thought the carnitas one didn?t have as much flavor and was more dry. Also a bit high price for two tacosbut decent sized portion at least. Also ordered a beer on tap which was nice compliment. They gave me a complimentary post cardI wrote and they took it after to stamp and send it for me. Guess everything in the area is probably a bit pricey but I wouldprobably drive and try other taco places before returning again unless it was to meet friends. Read more

Ate lunch with my friends and the food is so good! I can?t remember exactly what I ordered but it was a veggie bowl. The outdoor... seating is nice even when it?s super hot out. There are misting fans which help cool you off too. Definitely would be back! Read more

Fun outdoor patio with misters to keep you cool. You place your 1st order at the counter & then get table service by any of the... waitstaff. Service staff was quick, friendly & knowledgeable. Lots of fun cocktails...my favorite is the Cucumber smash. Thecoconut shrimp & Cuban sandwich were delicious. Remember to join their diner club for $20 off right away! Read more

My husband and I always go Tommy for happy hour and dinner. The food and drinks and ambiance is great plus there?s live music.... But we definitely love the store manager Joe. He is always around saying hello and also helping out when needed. Next timeyour in town. Come on down to the St. John?s Town Center and meet Joe and his amazing staff! Thanks Joe for always making usfeel at home. ???????????????? Read more

Wasn?t expecting much from a restaurant in a Tommy Bahama? but was so surprised. My coconut martini was amazing, and my poke... bowl may have been one of the better ones ive had. Love all the outdoor space! Read more

My husband, baby & I stop in for lunch while shopping. The menu is limited but very good food never the less. It's great if you... love warm winter and good drinks. I also tried to look at the menu on my food via the app on the table after telling thewaitress what I wanted she said that wasn't their menu so I showed her exactly how I got there & its wrong so we have to get apaper menu. Con: Not many options on the menu You have to get up & get your own water Pro: Good strong drinks Food tastegreat Nice seating outside Read more
