Jax fish fry is a local gem with absolutely fantastic lobster rolls and fish rolls.
Super small menu makes ordering a breeze. Their potato wedges are absolutely stellar as well. For the money, this lobster roll is hands-down the best value for money in the city! This review pertains to the Baymeadows location, but they also have a location off of 210 in St John’s county. Support local and get yourself a cod or lobster roll today!

Nicole Brook

First time every having a lobster roll, and was not disappointed. It was moist, rich, and full of lumpy chunks of sweet lobster. I got a side of clams and they were perfectly done, not tough or rubbery, but tender and crisp. Love the unique fry shape, but they need a bit more seasoning/salt. I will be back! Thanks Jax Fish Fry!

Randy

Excellent $18 fresh lobster roll! The bun could be toasted longer; perhaps 60 seconds instead of 45 seconds to get a crisp edge to the bun. The lobster roll was overstuffed so I ordered another toasted bun and made 2 lobster rolls!!! The fresh cut potato slices were a nice flavorful addition. The restaurant is contemporary and immaculate! I finally tried their popular fried shrimp which were exellent!

Theresa Childs

I snagged a cod roll just because I’d never tried it, and the size of that fish filet was so impressive! For $9 with those uniquely cut fries and a side of coleslaw, I don’t know how you can beat that! It was so fresh and flaky! YUM
