“Always friendly service and delicious food at the Amelia Island location!“

“I didn’t take any photos of the food last night, but I wanted to take a moment to give a Shout Out to the staff at Hurricane Grill & Wings. My MIL is Celiac and finding places that take the precautions to avoid cross contamination can be tough. I called and spoke to an incredible waitress that took the time to ask the cooks if they could accommodate her allergies and they said, Absolutely, come on it and we will make sure to clean the grill and use fresh utensils. She was able to have an amazing meal with us and we appreciate their efforts!! For anyone looking for great tacos, burgers, and salads - with an awesome atmosphere and kind staff, please go check this crew out!! Ps kids night is Tuesday nights!!“

“I would love to get a shout out to that waiter that was right next to me for dealing with that Karen and her husband probably Chad. Hardest worker I’ve ever seen because if it was me, oh trust me, I’d be fighting them.

I was a party of 12 and our waitress was really nice. I don’t remember her name but the steak was amazing. The broccoli was cooked perfectly. The mushrooms were delicious and the Caesar salad was so nice and zesty And she remembered all of our orders. All workers there are amazing.“

“Everything original and made from scratch!! Awesome food with awesome service !!“

“bacon eggs and french toast lemonaid“

“Our waitress was nice. However, the food was not. I ordered chips and salsa and the chips were not even cooked all the way. Most of them were still soft and oily. The chicken tenders were over fried and the end were hard and center was so dry. Our meal order also took forever and it was not busy when we went.“

“Our waiter, Brandon, deserves more than 5 stars! He was amazing. Hardest worker I've seen in a long time with the best attitude to go along with it. He needs a raise for sure. Food was great as well. Probably 5 minute wait after our order was in, it was sitting piping hot on the table in front of us.“

“love coming here with my family!“

“Great experience, food is always top notch , service impeccable with Bailey as waiter ! One of our favorites ???“

“I truly enjoyed my first time at any of Tibits' locations. I had a 1/2 Ruben with Chicken, Rice, and Sausage Gumbo combo. I was very impressed with the Chicken, Rice, and Sausage Gumbo. By the way, the weather was cold and rainy, I couldn't had a better lunch on a day like this. Thank you Jam and Regina for such wonderful service!!!! Definitely coming back to try the next combo😋“

The manager will go out of her way to make things right.\n\nThe food is always good. My favorite is the ribeye steak. The ribs are good, The salad bar is amazing.“

“Man, I have to say that this is the most underrated breakfast and lunch spot! Been going here for years. Loaded homefries with gravy are amazing and the Club sandwich for lunch is huge!! They definitely do not skimp on the portions. I honestly stop here if not everyday it'll be every other. The people there are super nice! I have nothing but well wishes for all yall in there! Keep doin what yall are doin!“

“As always, their food, vibe, professionalism, and service were top notch. Our first night out in a while, and as usual, JCF exceeded in delivering an amazing atmosphere. The cooks, servers, and staff were, as always, quick, thorough, and the food was delish. Ibelieve I've had nearly everything on their menu now and it never is less than excellent! Quite likely our top 3-5 favorite nationwide! Easily could be number 1 with great competition. If you want amazing local food, this place is the spot. Thanks as always, y'all!“

“Great food, great service and my wife and I shop after our meal.“

“Small menu packs a punch! With specialty pizzas and burgers everything I have tried has been delicious quick service and strong drinks 🤪“

“We stopped by for a light dinner after a round of golf and really enjoyed it! Their beer pitcher even had a built-in cooling device — very cool idea. It seems they have trivia every Tuesday, and I’m curious what the prizes are. The server was cheerful, and the place has such a fun vibe. A great local spot I’d definitely recommend!“

“I went on a Sunday afternoon. Very quiet. I had the patty melt and fries. The patty melt is always my go-to when I eat here. The fries are hit and miss. This time, they were not too bad. Sometimes, I can tell the grease is not fresh, and the fries have that dirty grease taste. Service was average. That can be hit or miss as well, depending on the server.“

“We like to go on Friday night for the ribs. MICHAEL.Y. Was an awesome waiter. Very friendly and came back to the table several times to make sure we were taken care of Sonny’s ribs. Never disappoint.“

“First timer. Our waitress Kristy (I think) did an amazing job. The soda machine was low for my coke zero so she gave me a bottle instead. She checked on us multiple times and was great. I got the bacon burger which was delightful and it came with fries which were crispy and seasoned well.“

“Close to the real Philly cheesesteak“

“Always friendly service and delicious food at the Amelia Island location!“

“Live music is always great!!“

“Randy was friendly and helpful. Hope that's the norm and not just because I walked in with a hottie. Good suggestions on wing sauces and specials. Atmosphere is best one can expect in a strip mall. Well done.“

“Never had a bad meal here. Great atmosphere and staff, owner is ok too. Definitely a “go to” in Green Cove.“

“Would recommend over bob evans“

“I’m over here emotional and was just thinking about how grateful I am for so many incredible things in my life and the way God is just working through me to push me into the woman that I am meant to become… Then I started thinking about how God talked to me and led me to Grumpy’s Middleburg location last Friday, December 6th. What I did not know, is that God leading me there would answer all of my prayers and instantly transform my life. After their wonderful waitress (I believe her name was Ashley) told my husband and I of the daily specials, I decided on their blueberry cheesecake waffle and he got the surf and turf omelette (while also incredibly delicious, we aren’t here to talk about that). Now, it’s important that I note that I like waffles, but my go to is a classic crisp yet fluffy flavorful French toast, which is my favorite breakfast there (I literally always order it… I’m a creature of habit). Well, at least I thought I was. That is, until this life changing waffle shifted my entire perspective on who I truly am at heart… A CERTIFIED BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE WAFFLE FANATIC. 😭😭 As I lay here sad and heartbroken listening to the rain pound on my window sill, I am unable to focus on studying for my last final (I graduate on Friday!!), because I am reminded of the heartbreaking reality that this world altering waffle was just a special, and I may never experience another amazing waffle like that again in my life. Not my wonderful husband, nor my amazing children can replicate the immense joy I felt on first bite… 😭😭💔 That cheesecake lifted my spirit in a way only it could do, through Gods mercy and grace. It spoke to my soul stronger and wiser than any worship song I’ve ever heard. It washed away my sins immediately on request and made me anew. I’m fully convinced that this waffle could bring world peace and prosperity for all. The thought of never experiencing it again is a reality I may have to face. I just have to find solace in knowing that while I never thought I’d get to experience Heaven in my lifetime, on that beautiful sunny Friday morning in December 2024, I did just that, here on earth. My only regret is that I did not resist immediate temptation, and stop to take a picture of that magnificent miracle before I dug deep in and devoured it (there goes one of those pesky sins that I mentioned it washed away) along with my husband (goodness gracious, if sharing MY miracle with my husband doesn’t show true unconditional love, I’m clueless as to what does… you’re welcome, honey! 😉)! Now, Grumpy’s deserves all of their FLOURS plus more, so that they can continue to do Gods work and bless the community through their angelic creations. Thank you for all that you do to change lives one miraculous meal at a time. You truly have a customer for life who is eternally grateful for the blessings you have bestowed upon me. 🙌🏾🙌🏾😂😂😭❤️ **Not to mention, the customer service was beyond exceptional, as it always is!** And P.S. Grumpy’s… please run it back (preferably this Friday so I can have it for my graduation breakfast😉)! The thought of never experiencing this perfect combination again is absolutely devastating. 💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔“

“I love coming here, the owner is always smiling and friendly. As far as the food goes, the portions are pretty large for the price and the bagel options make each time I go refreshing. I see some other reviews about the atmosphere but I'm someone who's used to the Deli's in New York, I like that it's plain and simple. Great stop on my way to work. Definitely will come again.“

“Nicole’s on the River — a hidden oasis with great curb potential

Conveniently situated in a vibrant strip mall along bustling Blanding Boulevard, Nicole’s on the River offers a truly accessible dining experience. While the “river” in its name may flow more in the form of a charming blacktop current through the parking lot, the spirit of easygoing hospitality runs deep here.

Inside, guests will discover a cozy, no-nonsense spot where breakfast and lunch are served with a refreshingly unpretentious touch. The menu highlights familiar classics, complemented by trusted, recognizable brands that ensure a sense of comfort and consistency. Sturdy paper towels double as napkins— a thoughtful nod to practicality and sustainability.

For those who appreciate authentic local flavor and the convenience of a prime location with plenty of parking, Nicole’s on the River offers an experience as honest and approachable as its name is aspirational.“
