Starving Like Marvin

I’m in Jacksonville for work for the week from Charlotte, I asked ChapGPT recommended Black owned seafood spots and this is the first place that popped up. First, I was greeted as soon as I came in. Second, a doordasher came in and was rude to the lady but she didn’t match that energy at all. My food came out fast and fresh. Once I had everything, I asked if this was the location with the poor ratings about the customer service and the REPEAT customers there said yes and they don’t understand it. I also am completely baffled. I had an awesome experience, my food was top tier, fish and shrimp seasoned and fried perfectly. Wings breaded and sauced, I love when my honey hot is sweet and not just hot sauce. I’m a truck driver and a foodie, I eat all over the US and this restaurant is 10/10 highly recommend!!!

Wife and ordered snapper, shrimp, okra and crab cake. Everything was excellent! Seafood was fresh and seasoned to perfection. Crab cake was battered, which is not my preference but it still tasted wonderful. We will be back very soon! If you want fresh seafood then this is the spot! Nothing frozen here!

OK, let me say this. I would like to apologize to starving like Marvin for not believing until I went to the new location and seen it for myself with my own eyes when I tell you this everybody fool was falling out the plate when I say this starving like Marvin is going to feed you he is really going to feed you. The food was fresh not frozen once again. The food was fresh seasoning was on point not heavy at all shrimp bigger than my three fingers The onion rings was fried perfect. The chicken wings was fried perfectly, was not dry whatsoever the fish. I swear they got a leak in the back somewhere where they pull the fish out that’s how fresh the fish was fried perfectly. Both plates was worth every penny and cent at the new location over here in Arlington off university if you’re ever in the area for lunch you won’t regret it. Stop by if you need a place to hang out for dinner or somewhere to chill and have fun stop by. You might even see me there Will be my new hangout spot. This is my honest opinion and no, I’m not getting paid for this whatsoever and yes, people have the own opinion also but to me it was all worth it starving like Marvin. It’s real everybody the plates are huge everybody.

Just made a stop at Starving by Marvin and I’m so glad I did—the food is amazing! Everything looked so good, but I went with the honey wings and potato salad. The wings were excellent, the sauce was on point, and the fruit punch drink was really tasty. But let me tell you—the potato salad is what’s going to have me coming back again and again. It tastes just like Big Mama’s potato salad that you only get on Thanksgiving and Christmas—and I’m glad I can buy it here anytime. The food overall was top notch, the service was excellent, all smiling faces, and everybody was so friendly. That potato salad though? Next level!
