Great restaurant! Delicious food, wonderful ambiance, great place for a special occasion!
We went with friends and had a wonderful dinner, Jax is always our first choice for an incredible night out for dinner, service is amazing
Oysters were amazing. The service was prompt and food came out quickly. Everyone was so kind and very knowledgeable. Would visit again in a heartbeat.
Still our favorite place with our favorite servers the staff is awesome
Jax was great. Same as you remember! A little chillier eating outside maybe, but still the best seafood around!
We went for happy hour to celebrate our daughter’s 21st bday. The happy hour prices and menu are excellent—$7 cocktails, $10 poboys, $2 oysters. We were fortunate the Boulder just started allowing socially-distant indoor dining so we sat inside. Yippee! The service by Kim was first-rate. We loved everything we ate and drank and will be back soon.
good appetizers particularly, Cocktails good and Oysters amazing, Entrees were the weakest point of the meal.
Great seafood joint with all the classics and a few specials.
Delicious, fresh, great service. Happy hour is also wonderful with great value
Everything was great and the staff was very attentive!
It was nice to be back at Jax on the first night indoor seating was reallowed. Their long history of providing outstanding service has not changed and the food was great as always, excellent raw oysters and peel-and-eat shrimp especially. Our entrees included really good blackened catfish, lobster pasta and gumbo, and we finished the meal sharing key lime pie which is about the best in Boulder.
Do wish Jax would bottle and sell the aioli sauce from the P&E shrimp, or at least share the recipe with valued customers.........
It was a nice evening -- will be even nicer when this pandemic mayhem subsides and we once again see the crowds around the Jax oyster bar, a true sign normality will have returned to Boulder!
Our server, Brooke, was amazing. She was busy with several tables, but made us feel special and taken care of. The whole staff did actually. We asked for a special table, and got it. Asked for food recommendations, and they were all spot on. We have not been out a lot since restaurant eating has not been pleasant. But this night was. We’ll be back
Jax’s is such a staple, it’s always good, the service is friendly and even in these crazy times, they have maintained a sense of humor and an agility that ensures the customer experience is great.
Overall good food and great Oysters (West Coast)
With COVID, Jax has a heated tent. Not perfect, but comfortable. Happy to support them!
Appreciate the staff & effort of chilly nights in a tent. But the food was a bust.
The food was excellent and the staff was outstanding. Great work by the team made the outdoor dining experience incredible. Thank you for a great dinner including the key lime tart!
Very good! The hush puppies were excellent! So nice when they offer a Mocktails list for those of us that don’t drink. Most restaurants don’t do this. Very much appreciated. Service was excellent and the manager (I think that’s who he was) was so nice when helping us pack up our leftovers. Nice that they had a tent during Covid and had everyone spaced out nicely.
the oysters were amazing. as was the service. and the tent was nice and toasty warm. a great solution during these crazy times. Thank you Dave and Dana Query for all that you're doing to keep good eating available to us!
Super thankful for Jax in Boulder remaining open for my family. They’re part of the neighborhood. And we support them. And they serve delicious food. The best.
Jax has a great outdoor tent that you can eat under, it pipes in heat and makes the meal enjoyable. Our service was stellar and the food was delicious.
You must get a bottle of wine and oysters with your meal. So fresh.
Glad to see Jax staying open with the outdoor seating. Heaters kept us warm and the food is always awesome!
Genuinely delicious food. Highly recommend the calamari!
The service was outstanding!!! The food was incredible, as well as the drinks. 100/10 would reccomend Jax to anyone visiting the area!
Service was orders of magnitude better than usual - eating outside in heated tent with plenty of fresh air around. We enjoyed big eyed tuna - prepared rare - exceptionally delicious with melding of flavors and shrimp skewers. So happy that Jax remains open - safely and carefully.
Calamari, grouper, lobster cavatappi, and key lime pie was delicious!
We went to Jax for my husbands birthday and we are so glad we did! They wrote a personalized message on our table and gave us a free appetizer card. Our server Alex was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She went above and beyond to make our experience amazing. The food was delicious, everything we tried was terrific. I’d highly recommend this place if you love seafood and great service!
The manager, Eric, went out of his way to make sure we were happy and comfortable with our outdoor seating. The food stood up to the reviews. Even if you don't like oysters, you MUST try the grilled oysters. Amazing! Happy I took my family here.
For a rare occasion to take my wife out to dinner to one of her favorite places to go, we were very happy to sit in and enjoy the service.
Alex is the best. The burger was delicious with extra egg and blue cheese added. My wife and I love eating at Jax, even now with the tent and precautions, we're coming back. Support your local restaurants!
We had a fantastic server who was exceptionally attentive. She even let us move our outside table to one that was closer to heaters when my friend got cold. Such a lovely evening.
The food was phenomenal as well as a service.
Get quality seafood meals at a reasonable price.
Can’t wait to head back
Excellent service around COVID regulations. Ordered oysters, crabcake, wedge, gumbo, hush puppies, collard greens, lobster, all old favorites.
They have managed to stay as good as ever!
We ate outside. Food was A +. Staff was the best! Fun evening.
Always very good. Jax is consistent and our go to for seafood in the Boulder area..
Food was not very good. Service was fine. Would not go back.
One of the very best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Food and service was extraordinary, quite notable. And after 40 years in the restaurant business I would know. Dinner was so delicious I remember every flavor days later. A great restaurant...and an elegant experience.
The crab cake and oysters were delicious starters and the blackened catfish was SO good. The greens have this tangy sweet flavor and the hush puppies are crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. I love Jax, the food is always consistently delicious.
Truly one of the best restaurants in Boulder! Always order the oysters and the crab legs.
