Tortuga Jacks Jekyll

They have beautiful outdoor seating space available and there was live music playing on but a little loud for our baby so we choose to sit indoor. It was still busy time even if we were there by 3pm. Our server checked on us as we order the food and got our salsa with chips to begin with. She took our orders and food was pretty quick. Overall enjoyed our lunch and the vibe at the restaurant.

This place is all about the atmosphere. Perfectly located on the Atlantic coast, right on the beach at Jekyll Island -- absolutely beautiful. The food was good but would have liked more flavor to the Verdes enchiladas. The live music was classic rock and really well done! Loved this place and if you're on Jekyll Island a must stop place!

Where to even begin. I hate giving one star reviews because people usually skip over them, but this place truly earned it. The food was so terrible a literally spit it out onto my plate, not out of disgust, but out of instinct. I got the fish and chips. The fish was beyond mushy, there was no texture at all. The fries had an odd taste to them as well that made it seem as though their oil was overdue for a change and the hush puppies were burned on the outside and not quite cooked on the inside. The service was slow, but the wait staff was courteous. The waitress did remove my entree from out bill, fortunately, but the over all experience was so bad we will not be giving it a second chance. Fortunately I had a MRE that has been sitting in my glove box all summer so I didn't starve on the 2

For a mid November- the waitress was incredibly nice. But the food. Oh no I don’t know the right words to describe it so I’ll try my best. Food lacked seasoning of any kind. I’m not sure what they’re trying to go for besides bland, the rice tastes like it was uncle Ben’s microwave rice, no beans were on our plate, gauc came out brown tinted (for a Friday night at 5pm I thought it would be fresh), inside were flies galore, outside had biting ghats. Food was way overpriced for the portion, yea I’m sorry but I ordered dinner chicken fajitas and got maybe 1/2 a chicken breast and 1/2 a pepper and 1/4 of a small onion. I’m just disappointed because so many locals recommended it to us and it was a let down. I do not recommend going to here for dinner. Maybe the drinks are good but I don’t drink.

We were really looking forward to enjoying Mexican Food while staying on Jekyl Island but this place was a disappointment. Maybe it’s because it’s the off season- but it was not very good. My husband ordered the taco Tuesday special (just 2 ground beef tacos… it’s the only choice) then he added a side of beans and rice. The refried beans were flavorless and completely dried out. And the tacos were like they dropped a bottle of taco seasoning in the meat- he couldn’t even finish the 2 tacos they were that bad. I just ordered a salad and added chicken. It was a decent sized plain said with a ton of very seasoned chicken breast. The ranch dressing is not very good (taste like yogurt). Let’s just say we did not return here on our week long stay.
