“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 had the dubai chocolate pancakes and they were fantastic! looked just like the picture too!“

“The MOST tenderness steak I've ever had, and im not saying this because of the old fashioned i had. I honestly really enjoyed this steak. My wife got the fillet, I for the porterhouse and daughter got the kids sirloin. ALL steaks were perfect. Never going back to ruby Tuesdays across the street. This is my new favorite steak place near greencove springs. Kairy, was the chef and Daniel was the server. I really recommend.“

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

“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.“

“I went in the other day with my family nothing to big just my mom and brother. We loved our server Joe, he went above and beyond to make sure our experience was the best it could be . The food was amazing never disappoints but what truly made this visit special was to see how much Joe cared about his customers experience he really just is the best .“

“We were in the area and decided to stop by, and we’re so glad we did. Allie was our server, and she did not disappoint. Her customer service and knowledge of the menu were outstanding. We started with the crab cake—wow! The flavors were incredible, and the portion size was perfect for an appetizer. The red wine was served perfectly chilled. For our main course, we had the bison short rib with fresh mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was absolutely delicious. You can truly taste the difference here—they specialize in fresh, made-to-order food with no freezers or microwaves, and it shows. This will definitely be our go-to spot from now on. Thank you for a superb dining experience and an amazing fresh meal!“

“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!“

“Had quite a wait but it was lunchtime. Tried to order ahead got answer then click. So had to walk in and order then wait outside for just about 30 minutes. They were busy and it was lunch time so it was understandable. If you read this….. call ahead like 45 minutes in advance. The food is excellent and definitely worth the wait, if you have the time.“

We will definitely be back! 😊“

“We tried Clara’s Tidbits in Fleming Island today and were wowed by the sweet, welcoming, and informative staff. So friendly and eager to greet us and take our order. The chicken and potato salads were fantastic! The pita chips were crunchy and perfectly seasoned. The potato soup was the best I’ve ever had. The iced tea was refreshing. They were very good with my little ones and the dining experience couldn’t have been better. This was our first visit but certainly won’t be our last. Loved our experience.“

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!“

“Always enjoy going to this location on Tuesday nights after roller skating. Our waitress, Nevesha Green, is the best! Always cheerful, great service and has most our regular orders memorized! The food is usually pretty good also!“

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

“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.“

“The new owner Max has done an incredible job of turning the Julington Creek location back to a neighborhood place where you can enjoy good food and drinks with your friends and family. Thank you Max and staff! We look forward to coming there for another 10yrs.“

“They did a fantastic job catering for my daughter’s wedding. Serving approximately 250 people. Food was great!!!“

“Hanna was an amazing server! She was so helpful and considerate to my mother! My mom absolutely adores when she comes in and specifically chooses her every time. It makes me so happy when she comes home some days when I’m not able to go to lunch with her and she’s so happy because Hanna is has made her day.“

“Crystal at the bar is a walking cup of coffee. Just have water and her attitude, energy. And personality will wake you up.
Management, please figure out how to turn her into a training course or promote so you can make more of her. Fantastic!“

“we love this place. the Philly's are legit and the friendly owners are even better“

“I have been a regular here for a while. I don’t know how to title this review but if I could I would call it, “How not to be a Karen in a Restaurant.”
I come here during the week almost daily to sit at the bar and get work done that I had no time for during my school day. The happy hour prices are also a great bonus!
I come here because the staff is warm and like family, and just as important, the food is awesome and you can tell that the GM Zee takes pride in all aspects of this wonderful spot.
Today I had to take a half day from work and had the opportunity to come in early for lunch. I also must disclose I have extensive hospitality management experience, and that I’m not an entitled human being.
I saw something today that should be on everyone’s DON’T EVER DO THIS list.
I can’t help but pay attention to what’s going on around me. I was at the bar when I noticed a scene starting. 2 women and a child were dining with one of the best servers I’d ever had. Apparently their order was running behind. The server was on top of it and got Zee (The GM) involved. They had ordered an item that takes a long time to cook and an app that should’ve come out faster than it did. Both Zee and the server apologized and offered other items while they waited.
Here’s the WTH Karen part. This woman jumped up and chased the GM down to tell him he was rude. I’m sorry, offering to help is not rude. The man has a game face because he cares. Her entitled self got up and yelled at him in public. I’m embarrassed for her and how our society is devolving. Don’t be a Karen.“

“Cheers Family! This establishment lives up to its name sake it’s a neighborhood bar they draw in people from every facet of life ! And they have all the amenities the standalone bar the cozy booths a great dance floor and they constantly have great The greatest live local music bands it makes the dance floor fill up every time. I’ve had several celebrations there with Cake and the staff stepped up to pitch in and help and I never leave there having had a bedtime met lots of friends very welcoming eighth and the rest of the staff are very friendly and very hospitable you’ve got to stop in if you haven’t been there and watch what’s on the big stage have a great time“

“My best friend and I come here for lunch monthly to enjoy their fried chicken livers. They have the best! We are always excited to see what 'special dessert of the day' that they have. No matter what it is, it is delicious. The atmosphere is laid back and the servers are always so friendly and allow us to sit and talk without making us feel rushed.“
