28 Best American Restaurants near Green Cove Springs

“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.“

“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!“

“It's been a long time since my last visit to a Ruby Tuesday. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. It was 1140 AM on a Sunday the lunch rush had not started just yet. As it did besides the floor staff I spotted at least 3 mangers helping on the floor and checking on customers. We had a couple of burgers and salad. The salad bar was well stocked and a good variety of selections, the burgers were a. generous size, prepared very nicely. They we very tasty and dressed well. The only negative thing I could say about this wonderful visit is who ever seasoned the burgers was just a bit heavy with the salt, don't get me wrong the food was very good and I liked it alot even though a touch to much salt. I look forward to going back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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!“

“Staff here is always friendly! The chef went above and beyond today and made my kids a Mickey and Minnie waffle.“

“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!“

“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.“
