Great outdoor seating. Friendly service. Drinks were amazing, avocado eggrolls were delicious and I will come back again especially for them, sweet potato fries were good but not as crispy as I would prefer so next time I’ll request them well done. Overall, we had an amazing lunch and will be back. Food quality was excellent.

Lovely setting. Grouper and crab bisque was excellent. Crab cake was ok to me although another person really liked the flavor. Trigger fish was very good. Jalapeno rice wasn’t really spicy at all. Pineapple cole slaw was good but I didn’t really taste the pineapple. Our server Danni was excellent.

Love that the Turtle Shack moved to European Village. Lots of outdoor seating. Attentive, friendly service. Really impressed. Black Bean Veggie Burger with (huge) side salad. Pesto Panini on Croissant with (amazing) Fries. Very reasonable prices. Definitely recommend. Indoor music on Friday. Outdoor music in central gazebo on Saturday. Great people watching too. Lively atmosphere.

This is the prime rib fries I believe. The fries were tasty and crispy. The amount of cheese on this dish though was overwhelming. Our table also ordered the crab and grouper soup. It was a bit too salty, and we were thinking of adding a squeeze a lemon to cut through the salt, but the server was so busy. I decided to just eat the soup because for the time she did actually get to us the soup was no longer hot. It was a cold day, so all the customers sat inside. I imagine sitting outside would’ve been nice on a sunny day, covered by the shade. My parents each had 6 oz hamburgers and I was impressed by the large piece of lettuce. Some places give you small pieces. In the picture is one of the fried cream cheese avocados. Pretty good. I realized when eating it that I just prefer fried avocado fries. My mom said it was too rich for her.

I had the absolute best meal of my entire life here, I think it was called the scallops St. Jaque. I live in Michigan and every time I come to visit my family in Florida I demand we go to the Turtle Shack so I can get this dish. I go back to my photos occasionally just to look at how amazing it was, please never take this dish off the menu!! If I had to pick one final meal to eat, this would be it hands down.

We originally went to the location listed in Google on the beach but they had a fire back in November, so glad we called them and found they have a location at European Village.
The outside seating at EV is nice, the service was exceptional and the food was very tasty.
I had the crab cake dinner and my husband had the fried grouper sandwich.
The crab cake was very crabby…no fillers.
Grouper was done perfectly with tasty breading.
The fries, pasta salad and coleslaw were all very good.
The prices were reasonable.
We would return.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend the Blackened Chicken Linguini, the coconut shrimp and the avocado egg rolls! The only reason I gave it four stars is because the service was not the best.

First I’d like to say that the food was good, except that my pierogis came out cold so I had to send them back, but they came out better the second time. Our supposed server Heather came to us only once to say she’d be right with us and never came back. Heather passed by us many times without acknowledging us as if we were invisible, if she didnt want our table she could have asked someone else to take us. The host Kaylee took care of us and she was a sweet heart and we tipped her for doing so well and working two jobs, Skylar was also a sweetheart who helped us out as well. We appreciate them for taking care of us unlike our supposed server. Would I go again? Maybe, would I go out of my way for it? No.

So my husband and I came to Palm Coast for a vaca weekend. We chose the Turtle Shack Cafe because it got great reviews. We give it a definite full 5 star review. Dani our server was incredible. I got the smoked wings hot and my husband got the fish and chips. The wings were off the chart!! They brought ranch AND blue cheese without me having to ask. The ranch was light but so flavorful. I stole a few fries from my husbands plate and just when you think you can’t find better fries than the last place, you find THE BEST FRIES EVER. By chance I am coming back next weekend for a work thing and actually staying at an Airbnb at the European Village and the first place I’m coming too is right back here.

The seaside dinner experience I’ve been waiting for! The shack has a genuine surf-shack feel, without being a dump. It’s situated beautifully at the oceanside. The food is very good, made with love and care – something I don’t come across all too often. I wish I was eating there right now… Absolutely LOVE the place!
