JC Seafood Restaurant in Seagrove

**Lake View Too** · 01-01-2012, 02:57 PM

Today I noticed a sign on the building where the Gravel Road use to be, and it said: "JC Seafood Restaurant coming soon."

Thanks for the update! I hear the Gravel Road crew is in search of a new location also.

Hope they find a new spot. One of our favorite SoWal lunches was their grilled grouper sandwich and sweet tea.

Sometimes restaurants close without failing. I also hear Shoo Mamas is looking for a new location.

Does anyone know anything about JC's going into the Gravel Road location? Is it the
as the JC's that was in Blue Mountain?

Hope so! Their seafood bisque if to die for. Please keep us posted.

HD Lady, Have you tried the Crab Bisque at Tommy Bahama's? We make it fresh, from scratch, every day! Sooo good!

I'm not sure why JC's, without a total overhaul, would be looking for a comeback. There is a reason it didn't work in the first place. If you want the bisque, you can get it here: http://www.foodservicedirect.com/pro...-4-lb.-bag.htm

Just got an email from someone attached to the former restaurant saying it is not the same people.

That name may be an anchor around their necks before they even get up and running. JC's Off the Hook was mediocre at best. Too many people may remember that and not know to disassociate the two.

OK, two Bad names and now into a location that had two failed restaurants. Either they willl hit strike three or hit Third Times a Charm.....Hope it's good and low key.

Yanni's did so well because it was totally BYOB.

Had it Saturday. I agree. Very good.

Here's the scoop. The restaurant is operated by Hai Pho and his brother Junior. You may know Hai from his long run at Nina's (closed in 2005, was on the road behind Louis Louis). It was very popular. In addition to seafood and American fare they had a fried rice special yesterday with a big local crowd - very good stuff. Reasonable prices, predicting success.

I had a delicious fried shrimp po boy at JC Seafood last week, can't wait to go back.

Had lunch there two days ago--excellent! They really need to get the point across (somehow) that they are not the mediocre restaurant JC's Off The Hook that closed in Blue Mountain. Eastern 30A need this great new place!
