She double-checked each order and expressed gratitude for my patience. Considering the restaurant was busy and understaffed, Jamese handled everything efficiently, taking orders, packaging, and delivering. Her efforts, along with the other staff, were impressive.“

“Very good customer service 😊“

“Honestly, this Whataburger location delivers the best customer service I’ve experienced at any food establishment. I stop by often in the mornings, and every employee consistently greets me with warmth and a smile. The thoughtful gesture of handing the bag off with two hands is such a small detail, but it really makes a difference.

The food is always made to order, hot, and fresh. I’ve never had anything less than an excellent experience here. On one occasion, I accidentally placed my order at the wrong location, but the staff here handled it quickly and without any issues.

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this Whataburger truly deserves it. From the service to the food, they get it right every time!“

“This location has THE best customer service. They delivered the food to table, one drink had some leak on lid and the associate took it back to clean it off!! Then My Dr. Pepper tasted watered down i was just letting them know, so they knew. an associate gave me a different drink but one of the other ones went in the back and actually fixed the machine. Came out and brought me a fresh dr. pepper! BETTER SERVICE THAN A FANCY RESTAURANT!! GOOD JOB CHICK-FIL-A 👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼“

“Chick fil a always rocks! Their management team should run for president. They have great, personable employees, they keep prices affordable for good, hot food, they deliver the product in fast, efficient and FRIENDLY manner. And your order is always right and even has napkins, straws, ketchup, and salt and pepper. The line can be wrapped around the building out to the street, and they still treat you like you are the most important person of the day. All other fast food restaurants should take note. Chick fil a managememt for president!!!“

“They are great. Nice atmosphere, nice people, delicious pizzas 🍕
Can't wait to go back.
It's a little bit expensive but believe you won't be disappointed at all.
Also, they have sits outside.
Doesn't get better, oh also you have refills on your sodas. What else can you ask for.?🍕“

“Jason C is the best employee ever, he needs a raise. I came in STARVING because I didn’t want to stop at Bojangles…I’m on my way to college, he made my night! He was so nice and polite. The food 10/10. Super clean, super amazing, I would go to this Five Guys if I were you!!“

“We ate here for a late dinner. We ate a gyro and shrimp fettuccine alfredo. I prefer to over season and add more salt when I prepare my food at home. Still, the food here is really good not over seasoned or salty was delicious after I added some table salt. Not bad at all... clean and relaxing atmosphere and great customer service. At the end the girl behind the counter asked me how was it and I really appreciated how attentive she was. I will visit again I will try and kabobs next time.“

“Chick-fil-A excels in drive-thru management, making them a model for other fast food chains. Despite a long queue, I was quickly moved to the front, and my order was accurate. While the fries were just warm, the overall experience was enhanced by the staff's exceptional politeness. I always appreciate their cheerful send-off, wishing customers a blessed day.“

“When I tell you this is THE best chick fil a I’ve been to, I really mean it. The staff are always extremely helpful and there are almost never mistakes on my order which is surprising because this location is usually quite busy. Sometimes I’ll even ask for a side of pickles and they are glad to give me a little extra. 10/10.“

“Went through the drive-thru. Ordered, and was told to follow the car in front of me. I did, but the car kept going and I was confused as to where I should have stopped. Not familiar with there way of doing things. Staff was very nice and the single w/o cheese and fries was very good, and hot too. Burger tasted like it was first class quality and cooked perfectly. I'll be back“

“Let me start with the service first! That young lady was amazing! She made sure our drinks were topped off, she gave us a full service treatment! She was very nice and accommodating.

Food was good, the burrito was just okay, but the chimichanga was great. The sauces were on point! The queso was good too.

Overall, if I lived here, I would be back.“

“great food excellent service“

“Me and my family are from out of town and decided to try this place. Highly recommend the food, wait was a little long but ok because at least I know the food was cooking lol.

“I work there.7days a week“

“The Arby's located on Beach Blvd near St John's Bluff Rd is my favorite, as it was the one my late husband and I went to most. He really liked the French dip, and I liked it too, but now I really like the classic Greek Gyro. They have a plentiful menu to choose from and will fix fries with no salt for me when I ask.“

“Review of Breakfast at Hardee’s – River City, Jacksonville, FL

I recently had breakfast at the Hardee’s in River City, Jacksonville, FL, and I must say it was an excellent experience from start to finish. This location stands out not just for the quality of its food but for its exceptional cleanliness and outstanding staff.

Food – 5/5

I ordered the ham biscuit along with a cup of coffee, and both exceeded my expectations. The biscuit was fresh, warm, and perfectly baked—flaky on the outside and soft on the inside. The ham was generously portioned, slightly smoky, and had just the right amount of saltiness to complement the buttery biscuit. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying.

The coffee was hot, smooth, and well-balanced, without any burnt or bitter aftertaste. It was a great way to start the morning, pairing perfectly with the biscuit.

Cleanliness – 5/5

This Hardee’s is, without a doubt, one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever visited. The floors, tables, and beverage station were spotless, and even the restrooms were well-maintained. The attention to cleanliness is truly commendable and sets this location apart from many other fast-food establishments.

Service – 5/5

The staff at this Hardee’s deserves high praise. They were friendly, welcoming, and extremely efficient. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine willingness to provide great service. My order was taken promptly, prepared quickly, and handed to me with care. It was clear that the employees take pride in their work, and their professionalism made the visit even more enjoyable.

Overall Experience – 5/5

If you’re looking for a great breakfast in a clean and welcoming environment, the Hardee’s at River City in Jacksonville is a fantastic choice. The food is delicious, the restaurant is impeccably maintained, and the staff goes above and beyond to make customers feel valued. I highly recommend this location and will definitely be returning!“

“first time at this location young lady with glassed took my order was very helpful and kind and made this visit outstanding and plan on coming back soon .reason for visit had a job in the area“

“I love hardee's foods. Employees are nice managers are mean“

“I have never had a good experience at a five guys restaurant before. From the food being prepared bad, to a location forgetting to put meat on my to go hamburger, I’ve just despised this franchise. However, this time I have a different opinion. My girlfriend was hungry and wanted to get fries and a shake. I decided to get something as well. The food was very flavorful and the fries were cooked and seasoned to what I would consider perfection. I still feel it is very overpriced but this location ran things smoothly and took care with the cooking of the burgers and fries . Well done.“

“Everything was great if you’re wanting some fried chicken, french fries & cole slaw. It was hot, fresh and the sauce was pretty good too. My only complaint is there is nothing “healthy” on the menu like a grilled chicken or a salad so when the kids want their chicken i’m stuck either not ordering or getting fried foods“

“Omg I love this place and the guy on the drive thru is stooopid.“

“I have not tasted food yet but as I sit waiting for my order, I want to commend a young man named Carlos. Treat him right because somebody looking for a good customer service representative in any field just might try to snitch him from you. 🤠 He was really singing the praises of five guys. Thanks Carlos❗ (maybe I'll remember to come back here and post a review of the food)
Well... The food was OUTSTANDING! I'll be back. 👍“

“Always the best burgers and 🍟“

“Consistently great food and service. The staff is kind and provides fast service, no matter how busy they are. The chicken is always juicy, and the waffle fries are perfectly crispy. The soup is a delicious and comforting favorite, especially since they always give me extra saltine crackers. A reliably excellent fast-food experience.“

“I love that you can create your own pizza and do it in front of you. The ingredients are very good quality and the crust is very thin (love it). The pizza is out very fast and the personal size makes it perfect to have several pizzas to share. We will go back soon.“

“we always visit the sheik Everytime we are in town. the best there is“

“Great food. Friendly staff. Clean store.“

“I would say this is a hidden gem, best tacos in Jacksonville hands down! The food was so good I forgot to take a picture. Tacos were great, & the guys working the truck were so sweet and kind. Will definitely make this my family’s new taco Tuesday spot, gps will confuse you, they are in the Prime liquors and smoke shop parking lot.“

“the food is insanely good i love eating here!!“

“Never known I needed a Venezuelan burger in my life till today. Absolute flavor in every bite. Was not disappointed! Fries were pretty decent and tasted natural.

The language barrier was a nice touch to keep it authentic. Minimal English on the menus, Love it. Surprise me. I'm not picky. Point and eat.

Anyways, overall great mom and pop truck with seating and plenty of parking. Cozy neon lights at night. Well done.

Note: I came late at night (11pm) and I waited 15 minutes for a burger. During peak hour I could only imagine the difference in wait times. THEY DID SUGGEST AND ENCOURAGE CALLING AHEAD.“

“This Five Guys location has consistently great burgers, made just the way want! They offer a large variety of burger toppings. The fries portions are huge - great for sharing.
The gentleman taking our order on Mother's Day was very patient with questions and changes. The burgers take a little longer than a fast food restaurant because they are made to order. So they are hot and fresh - worth a few extra minutes! Enjoy some peanuts while you wait. 🤗“

“9-13-25 Young lady assisted me at the front counter to make a good choice korean chicken bowl and (I) add half of avocado 2.59 expensive it did turn out great with the meal. She help me on choosing sauce too. Thank you again 😊 I haven't been at 1 of your location since I will say before the pandemic hit.“
