If you want a very casual beach type dining experience then The Surf is for you. Great chicken wings, pretty good fried shrimp, good piña coladas and you can choose to sit outside with the locals and visitors or dine inside. It's a hopping' place during tourist season, live music outside, sometimes visiting professional musicians getting together to jam or... More

Good food and fast service. The vegetable beef soup was delicious. Husband ordered a drunken pirate burger. It was huge and delicious. Four of us ate for $60. Great value and great service. Wednesday is all you can eat wings. Get there early.

Rob [--] is a terrible mngr. the [--] who own the place should go through a mngr. evaluation with him. He was wearing normal street clothes like jeans and a jacket while working. We went to bingo thinking it was like bartop bingo and was full of senior citizens, kinda a bummer. Got "shushed" by some old person wow. Food... More

The Surf Restaurant & Bar is a casual beachside family restaurant & bar. We strive to create a fun and inviting atmosphere for guests of all ages. Please accept our apologies that your bingo experience was not what you anticipated. However, as a family restaurant, we cannot allow the profane language you chose to use inside of our dining room.... More

Our family loves doing family get to gethers on the deck. Good food and our grandkids love seeing the beach just across the street. The new owners have made changes for the better, food is much better. Wish they had senior meals.

It's hard to beat 2 for 1 drinks on the deck of this place. I tried the peel and eat shrimp and the lobster special as well, the shrimp was good but the lobster was not great at all. I'd stick to the drinks here.

Had lunch on the deck after spending some time on the beach. Very nice breeze and view of the ocean from here. Had shrimp basket and a beer, food was okay. Service was fair, seems very disorganized which leads to long waits. Convenient stop as you drive on A1A.

We dined here on vacation July 2012. The exterior looks a little worn. The food is just ok. They up charge you for everything. My son was charged $2 for a piece of cheese on a chicken sandwich, fifty cents for extra sauce for the wrap, etc. The service was not great. Definitely would pick lots of other places before... More

After a day on the beach, one of my favorite places to land is at the Surf. Great atmosphere out on the deck provides a great dining experience. There's usually music and the food is always good!

I vacation in Fernandina Beach every year, and my family always makes a point to eat at The Surf. Our favorite thing about The Surf is the atmosphere. We love sitting on the deck and listening to the DJ or musician. This also keeps the kids entertained. This restaurant also has good specials, so it's possible to eat well without... More

I dined here June22, 2012 with 5 nieces/nephew ages 4-12 and we all had a great meal with good music and fast attentive service. We were staying at the condos across the street so we could look out to see how many guest were waiting before we walked over. We had the wings for appetizers & the kids devoured them.... More
