The food was so flavorful and fresh, everything was served hot and it was amazing. The staff were friendly and atmosphere was so comfortable., I highly recommend this place 10 out of 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this place deserves an award!“

“Another great meal yesterday at Kitchen 251. We finally had a chance to sit outside and enjoy the scenery and or meal.“

“We ordered from here frequently when at the pool daily and the wait staff was kind and the food wasn't bad, one waitress even brought us a complimentary guacamole since the seagulls literally ripped our whole basket of chips and guac apart when we stepped away for about 2 seconds to grab my other child to sit and eat the food we ordered. We appreciated that very much. However, on our last night we dined here and my children were served raw chicken tenders with the batter oozing out and when cut open just complete raw chicken beneath the fried part. THANK GOD I didn't just give my kids the tenders to eat and cut them open for them in attempts to have them cool off quicker because they were so hungry. The waitress comped their meal (even though their meals were half off during the promotion), but we appreciated the gesture at making raw chicken being served an okay thing. Other than that the food was alright, the calamari was fishy tasting and my mahi mahi was rubbery. It was convenient to have by the poolside to order from the menu offerings were nice but don't think I'd actually dine here for dinner but would order poolside again forsure.“

“We have eaten here on Sunday for brunch several times. Fabulous service and the food never fails to be delicious no matter what we order. My favorite, French toast, melts in your mouth. My husbands favorite, steak and eggs, is wonderful. Such a nice atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Thanks to all!“

“The white hair guy is horrible! I think his name is Wesley? He yells at the servers! We won’t be back until he is gone! Get rid of him! He’s mean to your staff.“

“Phenomenal place , I absolutely recommend checking it out there BBQ is outstanding, burgers outstanding , you really couldn't go wrong here and the draft beer they have on tap is extensive... The atmosphere is very inviting and there's a big patio and walk down that you can go on“

“Our first visit was great. There was a Gouda Mac & cheese with grilled chicken that was awesome. Came back the next day for lunch and they completely redid the menu, taking it off and the dessert we were eyeing. Hope they bring it back in the future!“

“Would like to see a different menu with some lighter options. Our food was greasy and unappealing. They're content to just be a bar that happens to serve some grub; not sure that will satisfy the locals.“

“Love this bar! Jess and Becca are the best. Quick service. Cold beer. Great atmosphere. My favorite spot!“

“We have been enjoying, the snack foods and full meals, besides our drinks during( It's 5 o'clock somewhere classes)... every other Wednesday night. The Alley is a fantastic Host for our Art Classes... and a perfect location for a small party or gathering... TV, Music, own bar tender, plenty of seating... lovely atmosphere, great in-house Beer too!“

“In Beautiful Amelia Island Plantation... The restaurant is totally remodeled... The views are amazing.. food excellent, service great. We try to have breakfast there as much as possible, and lunch once a week. After eating you must take in Drummond Park, also on Sea Marsh Road. A natural park, over looking the salt marshes and the Amelia River.. Bird watchers will love long dock into the marshes... best bird watching in Florida.“

“Super tasty burger. A local favorite“

“We love the Sandbar. But I think our dog loves it even more. She is greeted with a cold bowl of water and cream/bone treat. This place loves dogs. And so do their other customers. The food and atmosphere is great also. We will be back. Especially if our dog has any say.“

“Hi Kenny Rob and I would like to express our gratitude to you and your team for the exceptional service that are group received last evening. The team truly made this event go seamless and their attention to detail was certainly not missed. We look forward to many more special times at Salt Life Fernandina. Rob and Angie Patton“

“Server was amazing. Can’t remember her name, but she mentioned she was a teacher. Had amazing energy and was super helpful and it seemed she was running the whole front of house solo.“

“Fantastic burgers, friendly staff, and very clean. The best freshly made milk shakes!“

“1st try at this pick-up thing. Using the ap was easier than expected. We had to get home but had hankering for a good reasonably priced steak. Chili's is the only place in this area. Everywhere else is $$$. We live in a condo. So we can't grill our own. This was a perfect option. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. And we got free chips and salsa on top of it all.“

“Great place to work as well“
