We absolutely loved this place! The pork nachos are absolutely amazing and the pork is some of the best I’ve ever had. All of the fried seafood is really fresh, the salmon was to die for and my crab cakes were really good! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and even the outdoor seating is half covered in case it rains or there is bad weather. Had a really nice mix of standard bar drinks and specialty drinks. The service was really good and our food came out pretty quickly. Overall, this was a great experience and we will definitely be back. It’s adjacent to the beach so it’s super easy for us to come right off the beach and have a few drinks and dinner here.

It’s on the beach which is nice! Food was reasonably portioned. We went on a Friday evening and did not have to wait. I got the Ahi Tuna Tacos (appetizer) which I got as my meal. It was delicious! The dessert was yummy too!

Very nice place. We were there for Saturday lunch, there was good live music and the patio was beautiful. All the food was really good, I loved the poke bowl and oysters. My kids loved the kids meals served in the cardboard cars. When the kids are happy, parents can relax. They also got souvenir coconut drink cups which they also loved. Would definitely come back.

The outside patio design of this place appears to still be under construction after the hurricane. Happy to see the place open and thriving. It’s still a favorite stop for my family and kids. Live outside music with a great view of the beach. Fantastic staff and a must visit restaurant when visiting the area.

Nice little place on the beach with a little auto racing history and a small museum. Did not have time to eat, but I got a quick beer and quick look around. It seems this place would be an excellent meeting place for groups of any size. I saw some of the menu and food being served. I need to come back for that. They have a large outdoor patio facing the beach. Not to hard to find.

This place is great! It has a lot of cool art and a few old race cars inside. The outside view is fantastic and the food was top notch. Definitely worth the trip. The live music was a nice surprise too. Definitely will go back. They even made accommodations letting us be seated farther from the stage because my son is autistic & has perfect pitch so sensitive ears. <3

Finally got to go here!! It was busy but we got seated right away & to our surprise our table was right on the ocean! Our waiter Bachus (not sure of spelling) was spot on, extremely personable & eager to answer any questions. We started with the loaded baked potato soup, very tasty! I had the Beach Bar salad, topped with tomatoes, cucumber, corn, boiled eggs, bacon, red onion and blackened shrimp. It was HUGE and so so good! BF had the Salmon with rice & veggies, equally as good. We will definitely be back!!

Hubby loves GREAT shrimp po’ boys and dining on the water. So, for his Father’s Day lunch, he chose The North Turn located on south A1A, several miles south of Dunlawton Ave. close to Ponce Inlet. We went on Friday to avoid the line waiting). It’s the place (right on the ocean) that has his favorite huge shrimp po’ boys .. (and he’s tried several thru central FL)! We were seated immediately out on the ocean deck, which was perfect! (we arrived at noon to beat the crowds). It was shaded but it still had great ocean breezes and views with extra air circulation from ceiling fans for those tables next to the wall. We’re long time patrons of North Turn and knew what our choices would be, so we didn’t need menus. Chris, our smiling, friendly server, took our beverage and food order. He was very accommodating in that he went back into the kitchen to see if I could have an “all flats” wing order and if Sweet Thai Chili sauce was available. The “all flats” were doable (for a $2.00 upcharge), but the sauce was not. I was disappointed that the Thai Chili sauce was no longer an option, so I ordered 10 wings with mild sauce & celery sticks w/blu cheese dipping sauce (ranch is also an option). Our orders were prepared quickly and in no time, we were “chowing down”. (see pictures). As always, we were enjoying the tasty, well prepared food, wonderful, and ocean breezes in a relaxing, casual atmosphere.
