Reviews for Ocean Bay Seafood in Jacksonville, NC
On a weekend getaway with my boyfriend, we were trying to pick a seafood place because that was my one request if we went to the... shore. We got the huge platter for 2, which was more seafood than I've ever eaten in one sitting. The person serving us was theabsolute kindest, talking us up, showing my boyfriend how to put on a lobster bib (he thought it had sleeves). She insisted wefinish our meal since it was closing time and there was no one else left, but we wanted to make sure she could finish out thenight at a regular hour. So took half our meal to go and finished in our hotel room. Went above and beyond with the hospitalityand really making us feel like we were welcome to be there. Never mind the food was absolutely delicious! A night to rememberfor us. Read more
Worth the drive. We drove from Swansboro to eat here. My partner got the seafood pasta dish which was around $25. I got surf and... turf for $20. For the price, it was worth it. The food tasted delicious and the portions were huge. Don't mind our shockedexpressions. We were really surprised by the way our food looked when it came out. Our waitress was kind and took care of usvery well. Definitely give it a try if you're nearby. Read more
The first time my husband and I went here it was great. That was about 2 months ago and I left a 5 star review. Today when we... got here, we walked in and the lady who greated us wasn't very friendly at all. We sat down and we gave our order fairlyquickly, so that was a plus. We ordered mozzarella sticks and the marinara sauce was refrigerator cold. When our food came outit was a little warm. The Shrimp Alfredo has way too much sauce. I probably could have made 2 more portions with the plate thatI had and the bread was burnt. My husband's drink got refilled 2 times. The first time she just came by and filled it. Thesecond time she asked if he wanted more. She had never asked me once if I wanted a refill of my water. I ended up eating the iceby the time she came back over to see if we needed anything and still didn't ask if I wanted more water. My husband was in themiddle of asking her but I said not to worry about it since we were about to leave anyway. Again 2 months ago I was extremelyhappy to have found a new place to eat at but now it is quickly becoming a last resort dining choice. Read more
We went here on a Friday night and it was not crowded- it has a nice chill atmosphere and good menu selections. The food is... phenomenal! Cooked just right, delicious seafood and the portions were generous! Dinner prices ranged from 10$ and up. I wasn?texpecting too much from this place but it really surprised me! You can dine in (waitress style) or order to go. Read more

Well well I drove 40 miles to try this place out, they post such great looking food on Instagram well to be honest what I got... was surely a let down and very disappointing, fish was warm far from hot, macaroni and cheese ,was very good the fried OkraWas fresh and hot. I don't have to say the wait staff could definitely use some people's skills.. I was not offered a refill ofmy tea until the end of my meal and I had already received the bill the bill. Then I was told we have no more unsweet tea.Andthe filet of fish was actually a small filet. If you look at my previous post you will notice that TNW SeafoodEven though I paid$7 more for their food.

I went tonight to Ocean Bay and ordered the fire roasted scallops. I don?t believe they were real scallops. I?m not sure what... they were but they tasted nothing like scallops. Even the texture was not like scallops. They had absolutely no flavor. A hugedisappointment. I wondered later if I was going to get sick, since I was unsure what I had eaten as a substitute for scallops. I have gotten the family pack from there a couple of times, and would order it again but would not under any circumstances,order scallops??? from their menu again. I was also surprised to see that their sanitation rating was a 90. Read more
