“ The outside doesn't look like much but the inside is a nice vibe. We went on a Saturday at dinner time was busy but got one of the last tables before a wait. Waitress Zoe was very friendly and informative. Food was tasty a lot of food. Husband got the 1 piece of fish dinner and he was full- I got the ceaser wrap and took half home. Only ipas on tap, but will give you samples to taste before ordering. Great atmosphere and great food! Would definitely go back. ”

“ I just added Sea Jax Tavern to my carefully curated Yelp collection called "Best of the Best." It was a fantastic experience today, 5 shining stars for ambience, service, food, drink, bathrooms, even parking. This place has such a nautical atmosphere, from the portholes to the wood planks to the furnishings. The aroma from the kitchen will have you salivating! We sat at the bar and were served by Amy, who was also handling some tables, which she skillfully managed without the bar ever feeling abandoned. I had a feeling on receiving her warm welcome that she was going to be great and she excelled in every area- friendly, cheerful, polite, prompt, attentive and appropriately conversational. She offered samples from the mega-extensive beer list --something like 25 taps. I chose a refreshing fruity brew called Boozy Orange Soda which was probably the most delicious beer I've ever tasted. Amy suggested serving it on ice which was great! My husband had a Truth Bomb from Rheingeist which was like original Truth to the 10th power. I wanted to order so many things on the menu and settled on the Fish and Chips and an added side of their pasta salad. That had a perfect vinegar zing and was colorful and fun to eat. The cod filet was flaky and had a perfect breading, not too thick and just the right amount of crisp. The fries were outstanding, soft inside and golden crispy outside, lightly seasoned. The creamy homemade coleslaw was the best. When do you rave about coleslaw? This one deserves a mention. I never reached for salt and pepper, okay? Also loved the homemade tarter sauce- wow. It took both the fish and the chips to the next level, and they were pretty high to begin with. Of course malt vinegar was offered and gladly accepted. I had the one-piece and it was plenty to eat. My husband had the lemon Parmesan grouper. Grouper! Where do you find grouper in Ohio?! He let me have a taste, it was fantastic, firm, not 'fishy' and the Parmesan glaze was the bomb. Needless to say he licked his plate clean too. We got an order of clam strips to go. My sweet Lord, I haven't had clam strips since -- before we beat it out of New York. These were so good it made me cry. Substituted the homemade Jax potato chips for fries and they are excellent! Not over thick as you see a lot. Nice and crunchy and salty. Everything about the Sea Jax Tavern was perfect, perfect, perfect and I can't wait to come back for calamari strips and a slice of Key Lime Pie! ”

“ Always a good experience. Quaint atmosphere. The clam chowder and grouper fingers are awesome. The servers are awesome and we have favorites. But most have been there for a long time. ”

“ Delicious fresh food. Not necessarily trying to be a seafood restaurant but the fish I ordered was excellent! Cool neighborhood vibe, multiple draft beers on tap, not a large place, but cozy and in demand with the locals. Enjoy a locally owned restaurant! ”

“ This place is soooo good, I mean soooo stinking good. Yes is smelled good at SeaJax, but the vibe, the taste the service. We loved it, it was like love at first sight once you step into the old Pizza Hut refurbished for a great dining experience that will bring calling you back for more. The service was first class, loved the service at the bar while we waited to sit (45mins) and they had some great craft beer to choose from along with the good old oldies. Our waiter made some great suggestions and we went for it. Don't miss out on their spinach artichoke dip, wow, it was a winner. It should win a national award . I was thrilled they had claim strips and even though the taste wasn't what I was hoping for it delivered. I couldn't put my finger on it, but the taste left me wanting more. Their fries are killer and the portions are worth the price. The salads massive as my wife choose one of their salads and she loved it, more than I loved mine. I want to try to claim strips again as I think it was just an off night. I love claim strips so hoping they are better next time. Give SeaJax's a try, it was a pleasant surprise, we had heard good things and they are all true. You'll enjoy it. ”

“ The food has been consistently good (most especially the clam chowder.....which is THE BEST) and the server "Lee" is totally professional and engaging! He is excellent at "staging" the food so that you have time to eat your salad before your entree comes out! We love that he pays attention to details so that this happens. So few waiters do that. Highly recommend you give this place a visit! ”

“ Sea Jax We have been fans of Sea Jax from the day Ron Sweeney opened this neighborhood "Cheers type Seafood Pub." Ron knows Pubs and how to delight the Kettering and Centerville area with excellent seafood, burgers, and Pub Grub. Prior to Covid, I was playing league tennis and other tennis 4-5 days per week. And more often than not, I determined that Sea Jax was my Pub of choice. That changed with Covid. My son and I arrived today about 4:30, and by 5:15 Sea Jax was very busy. The clientele seems to be older (Boomer) and either couples or singles. I knew my selection, and enjoyed my son's study of the burger selection. He selected THE JOURNEYMAN*...$14.99 MELTED MILD CHEDDAR CHEESE, BACON SLICES, JAX BOURBON BBQ SAUCE AND GRILLED ONIONS. He ordered Pub Fries at an upcharge; however, server forgot fries and delivered "chips." Great looking and tasting Burger. Sea Jax offers Oysters: OYSTERS RAW OR FRIED*...$3.39 EACH. These are excellent raw, and we recommend. I ordered SHRIMP CREOLE - FULL...$18.99 PAN SAUTÉED SHRIMP IN A SPICY NEW ORLEANS STYLE CREOLE SAUCE, TOPPED WITH SEASONED RICE. SERVED WITH GARLIC TOAST. Almost as good as a flight to New Orleans. Sea Jax wants to fill a waterproof box for take-away. This is a terrible practice, and we insisted: leftovers be poured into Large Styrofoam cup with lid. Ron, feel free to adopt this practice. ”

“ I absolutely love SeaJax. It has a great environment and food. I usually go for the fish tacos but went for the Parmesan crusted grouper tonight. I'll definitely be getting it again! Also, I never miss getting an order of their fried calamari strips. They are amazing! Great service as well! ”

“ Great visit on a Friday night with family members in town for the holiday, we were seated right away and the menus were on the table. They have a huge craft beer menu which I loved, local, regional & national craft beer, Belgian beer it was hard to pick just one. Then the menu quite a variety of seafood, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, salads & wraps. Our food came within minutes of ordering our group had fish sticks & fries for kids, blackened salmon, mushroom burger, fish & chips and chicken tacos. Our server came by several times making sure we were okay. Thanks Sea Jax for great family meal. We will return again ”

“ 1st time visit to this treasure! How have we never been here before? Great selection of beer and for the Old-Fashioned they use the proper cherry! To all other restaurants and bars, always use Luxardo. Atmosphere is fantastic and the staff is great with their looks and service. Started with Grouper Fingers and Garbage Fries. Both excellent in looks and taste. Will def get both again. Jambalaya was surprisingly good although it was made North of the Louisiana border. Good sized shrimp and andouille sausage. Great flavoring. Will be a repeater to this location. ”
