Best Restaurants
“We really loved the restaurant that used to occupy this charming location so we weren’t expecting anything, and we were woefully underinformed and so delighted with Indigo. The server was knowledgeable and friendly but not hovering… but the food…Everyhing was a slam dunk. Duck, salmon, escargot, bacon, butter cake-all truly incredible. We will enthusiastically be back again and again!”
“Outstanding menu! Everything fresh! The best Margarita since San Antonio! Excellent service! 5 Stars!”
“Fantastic, steaming hot pizza and a kind and funny staff. I will be coming back!”
“Our entire experience from beginning to end was amazing at Burlingame. The staff was professional, knowledgeable and attentive. The portions were a good size and delicious! We had a great time and enjoyed the resturant… It’s beautiful btw!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This place is extremely tasty, I have been craving it BAD during this pregnancy. Nathalie is such a kind sweet soul and such a hard worker, she is always making sure everyone is happy in there. Dee is also so awesome in there and so sweet and kind. If you go anywhere in Fernandina make sure you go HERE”
“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.”
“A thoroughly charming and popular spot. Great menu and excellent attention by staff. The food is ordinarily great. On this evening, the main courses (fish, chicken) were excellent, but the sides (carbs, veggies) were barely warm. Management was very considerate when billing. Definitely going back whenever we're in the area.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“We absolutely loved this restaurant. The sangria is good, the empanadas are excellent and we love the Paella. We have never been disappointed with any of our choices. Our all time favorite is the Pulpo Escabeche (octopus). It is amazing with just enough heat. You will not be disappointed with you decision to dine here.

“Best customer service ever! The food is great. It has a nice playground in the back for the kids. The owner is a great guy and is very involved in his business and helps lead his staff. We got exceptional customer service. The kids and the whole family love coming here!”

Outdoor Dining
“Holy Grounds is Wonderful! Great Atmosphere... really good coffee & lots of yummy lattes + some great menu items as well! Sue Ellen is the sweetest & most welcoming person around...& her staff are very friendly & helpful! We absolutely love it here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Absolutely amazing!! We had an amazing waitress and overall was super good.”
“Another great meal at Bar Zin. I had the redfish special topped with lobster etouffee. It was wonderful with just the right amount of spice. My husband had the meatloaf and said it was outstanding. Finished with beignets, which are a must if not too full. Highly recommend this great restaurant!”
“We went to the special steak night they have off season on the weekends and it was delish! Our server Seymour was fantastic. We both agreed it was relatively inexpensive for the size and quality of steaks we got, as where we are from it’s normally 10x the price. 10/10 will be back when we are in the area again.”

“My daughter and I stopped in here for a girls night dinner. We ordered several items off of the small plates section and the food was phenomenal! Wish I could’ve eaten more. I’m not a beer drinker but cocktails were yummy also. Nice, clean environment and friendly staff! We will be back next trip!”
“the absolute 2 best pasta dishes my wife and I have ever had were devoured last evening. After a long day we didn't feel like going out and decided to pick up and take home. Everything bite was perfect. I can not recommend this place enough. The highest rating is well deserved.”
“We dined for brunch on 3/9/24 and had an absolutely wonderful experience. It was a VERY rainy morning which meant there were no outdoor tables for anyone. There must have 10 people waiting for a table in their reception area at the time of our reservation. In spite of this, the staff remained smiling and cheerful while they delivered a great dining experience. Their hostess worked very hard to communicate the status of everyone’s place in line along with those customers who had made reservations as well, again with a very pleasant demeanor. Now to the food! They have quite possibly the best French Toast I have ever had. The brioche bread was thick and perfectly prepared. My wife had their Caprese omelette and cheese grits which was also just terrific. The wait staff were attentive without overdoing things. Coffee cups never got empty before a refill was offered. One of our group was a tea drinker and she had a teapot of hot water and tea bags seemingly within seconds of ordering. The highlight of the meal came when we mentioned that one of our diners (the lady with the tea) was celebrating her birthday. The owner of the restaurant, a lovely woman, came out and actually gave gifted her the tea service that was on our table! She would not hear of us paying for the set and said she wanted to make a gift of the set. Completely unexpected!! I cannot recommend this restaurant any higher. In spite of a very difficult morning, none of which was their doing, the staff and management made everyone’s morning better!”
“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!”
“We were visiting from out of town and stumbled across this gem of a Chinese restaurant—and wow, we are so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with clean tables and a calm, relaxing vibe.
The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. every single dish was perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. The portions were generous, the ingredients were high quality, and everything tasted authentic. You can tell this place takes pride in offering real Chinese cuisine—not the overly greasy, generic stuff you find at some takeout spots.
Service was quick and friendly, and prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and quality. Whether you're local or just passing through, this restaurant is a must-visit if you’re looking for the best Chinese food in town.”
“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.”
“Best cocktails around, and that's saying something because there are a lot of restaurants in the area with great drinks. The apps are made in-house, and they are so good we ended up having a second order of the pimento cheese during one visit!”
“Another great meal yesterday at Kitchen 251. We finally had a chance to sit outside and enjoy the scenery and or meal.”
“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!”

“We live in NC and tried Akari while visiting family in FL and it was SO good! Some of the best sushi we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in town!”

“This is a great store. But this review is to say they are such nice people. I was looking for a specific gift this past Christmas that I thought they would have, but they didn't carry. They were very helpful in pointing out one of their competitors a few blocks down that could help me. Very much appreciated!”
“Susan and I have enjoyed numerous breakfasts and lunches at Ms Carolyn’s Restaurant. Now, we have another reason to enjoy lunch: Wednesday-Only Special Fried Chicken. Chef Kerry and Ms. Carolyn have found the pot of gold. This is really good fried chicken with 2 sides. Thanks to servers Stacy and Kay for alerting us to this great Wednesday Fried Chicken meal.”

“Despite being in a Harris Teeter, this was one of the cleanest, neatly organized and best experiences I’ve had.Sonya is clearly a professional and even though her fellow employees had not shown up to work yet and she was by herself I still received my order faster than I ever have.Superior service with a smile, what more could you ask for? I hope Starbucks knows what a valuable team member they have here.”
“We go to KP's for lunch 4-5X every week. Their daily specials are great as is their extensive # of regular menu items. The portions are more than adequate and their prices are VERY reasonable. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's a little off the beaten path, which is perfect for us locals and anyone else who has eaten there. They also serve several white/red wines, 4 draft beers, and more than a dozen bottled beers. Go there once and you'll be hooked. Warning: it can get pretty busy on weekdays between 11:30-1:00.”
“We went on Wednesday Special...All you can eat crab legs..The dinner had shrimp on first order with 2 sets of crab legs and lots of fries..Special starts at 5 pm.We were on time, BUT,Place was jammed pack,we ate in the backyard with tables and children's play area...no fans!..Thank goodness,slight breeze.started to drizzle rain..Where we going
again Than Goodness it stopped.The delivery of crabs was excellent.The food is good..Remember to Pay Cash,otherwise card company charges for service charge...It's really not a relaxing atmosphere on Wednesday,other days are better..Don't know if it's worth Wednesday visits..”
“First time visitor- recommend by a local - she was spot on - food was amazing- especially the green beans, best I’ve ever had (and I live in the south), steaks were delicious as well - our waitress Summer was great - very friendly and attentive Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back”
“Lauren the waitress was super fast and efficient and excellent work ethic. She was so respectful with an amazing attitude. She made my experience truly amazing. Go see her and tip her well!

“Great time at pool and lunch was wonderful. Loved the salmon BLT.”

“Found this restaurant a few months ago. The food is good. Went back today for lunch and I got the steak and cheese in a wrap and my husband got a calzone. Only compliant would be the cheese and wrap for my sandwich wasn't toasted or melted which could have made the steak and cheese with grilled onions slightly better. Otherwise the calzone my husband had was good and our pizza from our first visit was good as well.”
“This Subway exceeded my expectations! The place was clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and they made my sandwich exactly how I wanted it even gave me a great suggestion for a new sauce combo I hadn’t tried before. Everything tasted super fresh, especially the veggies and the bread. The line moved quickly, and the overall vibe was really welcoming. You can tell the team here cares about their work. I’ll definitely be coming back to this location!”
“As a family our Christmas tradition has been to get take out Chinese from New China. Unfortunately New China was not open (or so busy they were not answering their phones) and we were forced to try something new. Let me say, I AM SO GLAD we tried King Wok! The Orange Chicken was phenomenal and was even good warmed up the next day! The pork fried rice was just fine and the man answering the phone could have been warmer (but hey, they were slammed busy). I will definitely be back.”
“This place is a great bar Paul the bartender is really fun and really talkative. Also, they play great music drinks are good to Paul is a standup bartender.”

“The Falcon's Nest is on the Omni Amelia property and can be crowded at times. There is a good size bar and plenty of table seating. Tends to be crowded on the weekends with live entertainment”

“Wonderful evening dining at this quaint restaurant. We started with the Orange & Fennel salad. This was very fresh and delicious. Next my husband had the Ragu which he loved. It was a chunky ragu full of flavor, see pic. I had the Sicilia which had cherry tomato’s and fresh herbs perfectly delicious. We ate every strand of their homemade pasta in our bowls. Next we shared the Veal PizzaIola. We both wished we weren’t sharing, it was so tender and delicious. We enjoyed a bottle of their Nere’ Sicilian Red wine with dinner. All was followed by a homemade tiramisu and double espresso. While we were stuffed we had to try it. See pic below. We loved everything…the owner was extremely kind & welcoming to all patrons as were the waitstaff. Delicious authentic Italian food done perfectly.”
