Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - Colorado Springs

Addy

It was a bit of a hit or miss. Some things were really delicious, but others were really bad. We started with mussels and shrimp - which were phenomenal. We also had the grilled oysters which were just ok. The hush puppies should be considered donuts. They have a tiny bit of sweet dusting on them and they were addicting and perfectly fried. The catfish was also perfectly cooked and seasoned. I thought the collards were a bit sweet but still cooked great. The worst dish was the gumbo. It was borderline inedible. It was so so incredibly salty, both of us could not eat it. They gave us one slice of bread for it and that was the only thing we could kind of use to dilute it and have a bite or two. It was incredibly earthy and not quite like gumbo we've ever had before. I was tempted to dump some of my water in it to make it less salty.. Or maybe if we had some rice to put the gumbo on - I just hate wasting food but we ended up taking a few bites and leaving it. The chowder came with a bunch of seafood in it, which was nice, but ultimately threw us off because it tasted like queso and was just too much cheese. The service we had was also really odd. The server was exceptionally slow and we were constantly waiting for her. She seemed uninterested in everything and was kind of unwelcoming in general. She did describe the gumbo as salty when we asked about it - which is actually a plus that she was honest to us. We thought she meant savory/flavorful. Too bad we didn't listen.

We celebrated my husband's birthday. First time here. Food was the best we've had in a long time! I asked Emily our waitress, "How can anything be this good!?" Such a variety of tastes and textures made eloquent dishes. We had scallops, salmon and butterscotch pudding. Cozy, nice atmosphere. Great service. We'll be back!

The food was delicious. The oysters were fresh. Our waiter and every one of the staff we interacted with was attentive, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was modern yet rustic. The drinks were great!
