“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.“

“This was an overall five star experience. me and a few of my friends came in the other day to get some food and it was absolutely phenomenal. We got both salad and pizza and we were thoroughly impressed by it. The staff was also very helpful and friendly, especially the manager Colby. The atmosphere was also great casual dining. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“love coming here with my family!“

“This restaurant not only has a fabulous ambiance, but the food and service is 5 plus stars!! Highly recommend! Will not disappoint!“

“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!“

“We had a memorable family dinner. The ambience was perfect. Quiet but not too quiet. The menu was perfection. Our server was thoughtful and professional. Thoroughly enjoyed everything. The butternut squash soup with curried apples was fabulous. We had perfectly prepared filets. One family member loved the salmon. For dessert, the coconut cream pie is hard to beat.“

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

“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.“

“This was my first time eating at J. Alexander and I was so pleased with everything about this place. The atmosphere was very pleasant. It was a group of 10 of us celebrating the birthday of one in the group. Our server Misty was awesome, she was so helpful and knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with everything we ordered. Now to the food, WOW!!! everyone enjoyed the steaks, crab cakes, salads, warm bread with butter, celantro shrimp and to top it off the warm carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Yum,Yum. Thank you Misty for making this occasion so special for all of us.“

“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!“

“10/10 best I’ve had in a while. No exaggeration 😇😇😇🏆🏆🏆“

“Amy was great...went through the menu with us, was so nice and helpful..the food was great. we will be back...and real bread sticks....yum“

“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.“

“Absolutely love this place! Such a hidden gem!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“kate did an awesome job with our order, very attentive! Food was great as well!“

“Fresh fast food with large menu options.“

“Love Noelle! Such an amazing server.“

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

“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“

“Years sago, my wife & I tried this specific location twice. We're usually "3-strike" people but the experience was so bad. they got 3 strikes in two visits! For this Thanksgiving, we decided to take my wife's mom but this was the only location we could get a reservation. We were reluctant to go but some friends of ours had been recently and said it had changed a lot... positively. Man has it changed! The GM, Mark, came by and spent some time talking with us. He has done an awesome job in turning things around! The food and service was excellent and the place was cheerful. We had to do a double take just to be certain we were at the same place. Our server, Ms Frenchy, was amazing! She was friendly, engaging and fully involved with providing us with grade a service and a contagious smile. She went above and beyond to insure our Thanksgiving was awesome. We will definitely be returning for a future date night.“

“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.“

“Stopped by for lunch and had the burger wings and fries and I was lickin my fingers and all 😂 highly recommend and the owner is the best. Go see what the hype is about 💯🗣️🤤“

“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.“

“Awesome food, service and atmosphere!!!“

“One year ago we lost a very dear friend, co-worker, family member and loved one! We went to seasons 52 to celebrate his life and brought with us (his ashes). The staff at seasons 52 town center Jacksonville Florida was amazing and accepted the situation as if he was there! From the bar tender Michael who served him a drink to the receptionist who Renee who made us fell very welcome and treated our friend with respect and dignity to our waiter Blake who also went the extra mile to make our experience exceptional! We would like to recognize these people for helping us make our friends night out so very special we will be back every year because of them and the service, not to mention the food was amazing! Thank you!“

“Great atmosphere and there is seating inside and out (with fans). Pet friendly. Plenty of parking as it is located in a strip mall. Not too far off I-95 The burgers and wings were both fantastic and there is also a bar. Wait staff was very attentive and helpful. Clean bathrooms.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“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!!“
