39 Best American Restaurants near Fleming Island

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

“This was our first time but the service and food was amazing!!“

“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!!“

“We went to another restaurant close by with many issues long wait, not enough seating blah blah we walked over to island wings! Had a blast, great time was had by all took on a 13 top no problem. Great atmosphere“

“bacon eggs and french toast lemonaid“

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

“The 45 minute wait for a table was worth it! The server, David, was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food. He made great recommendations. The warm bread was great, the chicken bites were out of this world, and the steak was to die for! I also got a strawberry margarita and it was delicious as well! If you're in the area, you need to dine here at least once!“

“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 to this Chilis with my family. We go here often. We had Jennifer as our waitress (she has red hair) and she was absolutely the best waitress I think I’ve ever had! She was so friendly and attentive. She was on top of it all. She’s absolutely amazing at her job!“

“love coming here with my family!“

“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!“

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

“My sister chose to go there for her birthday lunch. Very nice employees.“

“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.“

“I ordered the seafood pasta and it was great, my favorite part about our stay was our waitress Melissa. I haven’t been to Ruby Tuesday in a few years and her recommendations were amazing. She definitely left a lasting impact on our family with her kindness that we will never forget!“

“Dependable comfort food with reasonable prices and excellent staff!“

“Good fresh food. Good fast service.“

“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.“

“I was in town from Savannah GA for a wedding at 2pm 22nov25 at St Juan Catholic Church. The Georgia Bulldogs were playing Charlotte at 12:45pm Hurricanes was one of the closest restaurant/ sports bars to the church. The staff was very accommodating., they put the game on one of the TVs I was able to watch the first quarter & still make the wedding in time. After the wedding I stopped back by to catch the last 05:35 of the game. A staffer custom made me a side salad that was sooo good with blue cheese & bacon bits. I left for the country club for a post wedding dinner. I recommend Hurricanes & am likely to go there again when I am in Fruit Cove or Switzerland Florida.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Live music is always great!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Electric Night Bar & Grill is hands down my favorite spot in town. The wings are the best—perfectly crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right every single time. And don’t even get me started on the fried pickles… absolutely addictive.

If you’re a wing lover, Wednesdays are a must—wing night specials make it even better. Great food, great vibes, and a place I keep coming back to. Highly recommend!“

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

“Great local spot any day of the week!“

“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.“

“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. 💔😭💔😭💔😭💔😭💔“

“Was sceptical at first, but this place checked off the boxes. I found the bagels and lox to be outstanding as well as a few other items my wife tried. Best of all, the ownership seems to be honest and hard working. We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“The Best restaurant and food I had while visiting Moose haven...food and service perfect. Tori the Bartender Perfect....... she's very much hard worker I watched her at bar and wait on customers that was seated at tables“

“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.“

“Amazing food, amazing service. Ask for sirilak. She is amazing at her job and rolls out the red carpet for her guests. I will definitely be back 😊“
