Checked by The Things To Do In Fernandina Beach editorial desk.
Amelia Island is a resort island with resort prices at one end and a working town at the other, and the food at the working-town end is genuinely good. Most of it sits along 8th and 14th Streets rather than downtown, and most of it is counter service.
Every place on this page will feed one person properly for well under the price of a waterfront entrée, and several will feed a family for less than two of them.
How this list is put together: Counter service, food trucks and diners where a full meal lands in single figures or close to it. Prices change — these are bands, not quotes.
