“I go to Baymeadows location often! And the staff there honestly makes the experience a great one. My food was hot and fresh and served with a smile. Staff members Annika, Lina, Nicole, and Kendra are awesome at what they do! TY 4 rivers I’ll be back“

“Ordered the tacos because of the other positive reviews and they did not disappoint!! I was also very impressed by the homemade original and spicy bbq sauces, which are super flavorful. I'm already looking forward to our next visit here!“

“Best BBQ around !! Awesome brisket and pulled pork !! The pickle salad is also a favorite!!! Can’t wait to see you around our parts again on Philips Hwy !!“

“The food truck comes to our neighborhood every so often on Friday evening and we enjoy being able to have family dinner at the neighborhood center. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has gone downhill over the course of the year we have lived here. Tonight, I ordered the loaded Pulled Pork potato....the potato is just cut in half (not fluffed up) with pork and shredded cheese thrown in the middle. The potato is a brown/tan color and it is not even cooked completely- meaning I can not eat it. The entire thing is Luke warm at best....What a giant disappointment and a waste of $12. My kids got the nachos and they also were a disappointment . I really hope they get someone to work the truck that actually takes pride in the food they are serving.“

“Friendly wait staff. We enjoyed the food as well.“

“Pastiche did another fabulous event for me last night! Their food and service is Top shelf! Natalia took great care of us Thank you Debra!“

“I don’t know how far this will go but the lovely sweet woman by the name of Rachel needs to be in the highest leadership role possible! That woman exemplifies complete customer service at the highest degree. The fact that she has to train assistant managers and she is not one is unbelievable!!! Rachel not only needs a raise but she needs a promotion because she is RUNNING THE SHOW!!!! Gracefully and with a smile!!! #Rachelforleadership

“Love this place! We go five days a week for breakfast. They have amazing servers a wonderful owner and the food is perfect. Very fresh eggs homemade biscuits and I’ve never had service without a smile! By far my vote for the best breakfast in Jacksonville if you want a nice diner home-cooked meal feel! We have literally stopped going to other places for breakfast and only come here. Ask for Bailey I promise you won’t be disappointed.!“

“An excellent experience, I was surprised it was so good coming from NC. The ribs and pork were excellent and the sides just as good. The owner, Joy and server Matthew were warm and welcoming. It was a nice (and quick) experience! Thank you!“

“My work brought it in catered. There was brisket, sausage, mac n cheese, coleslaw and beans. I read reviews prior to making my plate. I put a little of everything on my plate to try. Everything was good. Maybe not outstanding, but good. Although, the beans do taste like they're just Bush beans from a can.“

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

“Friendly atmosphere. We had a great time! Large selection. Lots of sauces.“

“Really good meat!!!!!!!’n“

“Portion size was a little smaller than usual when we sit at the bar. Had the Bird Dog. Usually more turkey. Service was amazing as always. Food was delicious despite being left wanting more. Incredible atmosphere like you expect in a good 'que joint. Favorite lunch spot.“

“Always awesome food and service!“

“Having visited this location after I moved to Green Cove 3 years ago, I never came back. Place was dark dirty and just not the quality food I was used to. Flash forward 3 years, came again with my brother and the place was all new. Clean, bright, refreshing. Came in again today and the same bright and cheery atmosphere. Phil was at the bar cleaning and organizing and was quick to seat me and get me what I needed. Will happily return again and again! Great job to the new owners!“

“While staying at the Wyndham Garden hotel, my friend and I went down to the red Gill bistro for an appetizer and a drink. Charlie, the bartender is awesome. He makes classic cocktails and has some signature cocktails of his own. I highly recommend it. In fact, we’re going there tonight. We went there last night and we went there the first night we came in.“

“We had a wonderful experience! Everything was absolutely perfect. It was very decently priced and worth every penny. Our server Nicole was super kind and attentive and the food was just as excellent. We ordered burgers, chicken sandwhiches and the steak. All of our food was cooked to perfection and our drinks never got to be empty. The environment wasn't too loud and everything was really clean. If I could give them more stars I would. I can't wait until our next visit.“

“To set the stage, if I was forced to select only 1 cuisine for the rest of my life, this 51 year old Georgia boy would select Chinese 🇨🇳 food 🍜🥡🥠🍚. I've eaten at a TON of Chinese restaurants and you're in luck if you're able to get food from here. Every dish I've had is a perfect representation! One last thing I must point out, this place, BY FAR, has the BEST pork fried wontons I've ever had. I included a couple of photos. You can see perfection in the crispy wonton bubbles. Trust me, just get em. This place absolutely deserves 10/10 on every aspect!“

“I ordered online, it said 15 mins, but 20-25 mins. So I didn't eat in, but it hasn't changed inside a long time. My rating is because the chicken and ribs are over cooked to me. My wife likes Bono's I can take it or leave it. The Ribs & Chicken just aren't tender and no real taste. Not awful, not stellar either.“

“I hadn't been to Longhorns in years. I will surprised how well the food was prepared and how well the food tasted. I was seated after 10pm and the restaurant was still full with customers. Longhorns has discovered a system that works and they stick to what works for them. I definitely recommend this restaurant for the entire family.“

“My husband and I decided to go here for our weekly date. We had a nice date night here on Saturday night. We enjoyed the food, my steak was a perfect medium rare. The appetizer was a true hit shrimp nachos. We had great conversation the waitstaff wasn’t overly distracting yet very friendly and attentive. The ambiance at this location was great. We really enjoyed our date.“
