I have eaten at the Surf for 20 years, and while it is reasonably good, the Surf just packs the people in--the parking lot is always full to overflowing--and you eat there and think, "It's not THAT good." We ate there twice this week--once indoors and once on the patio. My 9 y-o filled out a comment card on the... more

We've eaten at several Fernandina Beach seafood restaurants and I hate to say it but we won't go back to the Surf. This was our second visit. The first visit was OK so we thought we'd try it again. The atmosphere was pleasant enough this time of year - it's a great outdoor dining area (but don't sit near the... more

We eat out a lot. This trip, the Surf has been the best of the restaurants that we have visited. The bowl of crab soup was outstanding! The shrimp nachos were very good. The medium rare hamburger was also outstanding! "One of the best." The children's meal hamburgers were overcooked (but that tends to be the way that the majority... more

The atmosphere was great. The dj was playing good oldies and some good dance songs with some newer songs mixed in. It was great for the crowd ranging in age from 15-65. The drinks were great. I got a Hula Hula (mix of coconut, orange, some more fruits and rum) and a bahama mama. They were delicious. We got great... more

We are locals and we visit The Surf at least once a week. The wings are outstanding, the burgers are some of the best we've eaten. The staff is professional and courteous. The owners Paul and Lisa are active in the community and regularly offer The Surf's assets to community events. This is one of the few open-air restaurants on... more

We always eat at The Surf at least once while we are visiting Fernandina. I can't remember ever eating inside, but you can. We always sit on the large porch outside. It is across the street from the beach (no sand), but you can see the water. We have eaten there Spring, Summer and Fall and have always opted to... more

My husband, some friends and I went to The Surf last weekend and had the absolute worst experience. Never in my life have I been treated so poorly by not only the waitress, but the hostess and the manager! When we arrived we decided that we wanted to sit outside on the patio. Since it was a Friday night the... more

We ate here our first night on Amelia Island. I had the chicken burrito wrap and it was quite tasty. My husband enjoyed his burger, and my son loved his chicken fingers. The PB and J was an uncrustable that was heated or something, so left something to be desired. All in all a nice dining experience. It was nice... more
