I love this place.Posted on J YUMay 14, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It had been years since I’d been back to JL Trent’s in Yukon, FL, and after stopping in again around 1600 hrs, I can honestly say this place hasn’t missed a beat. I came in solo, grabbed a seat out on the patio, and immediately got that laid-back Key West vibe. My waitress was outstanding from the start — friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. Started things off with fresh oysters and an ice-cold Duke’s, then ordered the surf and turf. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the lobster practically melted in my mouth. Everything tasted just as good as I remembered, maybe even better. What impressed me most is that after all these years, JL Trent’s still maintains the quality, atmosphere, and service that made people keep coming back in the first place. It’s rare to see a place stay this consistent for so long.Posted on Bob OakwoodMay 14, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I love the buffalo shrimp. I order the large fried shrimp and ask for it buffalo style. The sides are good but I like the cucumbers with Italian dressing and the Mac and cheese.Posted on Mebane FordhamMay 13, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
