Definitely 5 of 5 tongs!
Ok - I know it’s not BBQ, but this is absolutely the best seafood restaurant I have ever eaten in, bar none! If you ever find yourself in Jacksonville, Florida, looking for a place to eat, ask a local how to find this place. There is no better way to describe how fresh the seafood is than to relate a little friendly banter I had with my waitress.
When I said I was from Minnesota, and that we didn’t have really fresh fish back home. She said, “ Well sweetie, if you have any concerns about how fresh our fish is, you just go talk to that guy up at the bar in the red hat. He can tell you when it was caught, where it was caught, and how it was caught — and he should know since he caught it this afternoon...” Yes folks, the restaurant has a pier, and on that pier are berthed the fishing boats that sell the ‘catch of the day’ to Singleton’s. And yes, the captain of the fishing boat came over (after being prompted by the waitress I’m sure), to find out if my seafood was fresh enough ... and yes, it was!
I would suggest anything on the menu, but make sure you try the corn hushpuppies and save room for either the banana cream or peanut butter pie!
