The menu highlights coastal classics, seafood-forward entrées, and well-prepared dishes that appeal to both longtime fans and first-time visitors. It’s polished enough for a nice dinner out, but casual enough to feel right after a beach day. Unlike the downtown harbor-front location, the First Coast Highway Baxter’s offers a quieter, less tourist-heavy experience, making it ideal for guests who prefer easier parking, quicker seating, and a laid-back pace. It’s especially popular with resort guests, couples, and families looking for a reliable dinner option close to where they’re staying. Inside, the space feels welcoming and relaxed, with a coastal dining-room vibe that reflects the south end of the island.

Situated along Amelia Island’s main resort corridor, this Baxter’s is close to oceanfront hotels, golf courses, and south-end beach access points. It’s an easy stop for dinner without committing to a drive downtown. Bottom line: if you’re looking for solid seafood and coastal cuisine on the south end of Amelia Island, Baxter’s Restaurant on First Coast Highway delivers familiar flavors, a relaxed atmosphere, and dependable dining — without the bustle of downtown Fernandina Beach.
