“The food and service was outstanding!! The server noticed that my girlfriend was a little sensitive with the spice level and he brought over some complimentary yogurt and a mango desert!”
“JL’s has been a staple to my Navy family since the early seventies. We moved from Guantánamo Bay Cuba to Jacksonville.. Dad 95 years old and I had another great dinner! Liz, took care of us tonight, she went over and beyond the call of duty! I told her I wanted to get a new t-shirt when we finished dinner. We place our order and next thing I know she brings out several T-shirts for me to choose from! That’s, that extra little touch that goes a long way!”
“Cute little dinning experience. Had the short rib and boyfriend had the schnitzel. And we weren’t sure what to think about fried bananas but omg amazing… not mushy- I would 10/10 recommend!”
“This is my grand daughter's favorite place for brunch. Grandma your going to love it! She was right, my first Filipino experience. I can't remember what I had, but I ate it all and sampled her and my Son's entree as well. The food, the atmosphere and the hospitality of Evana will be my go to for my next experience. That garlic choy and spicey vinegar needs to be bottled up and sold. ❤️ me some Purple Roots!!”
“Today marked a memorable occasion, and my husband and I chose to celebrate at our beloved, favorite Masala Mantra Indian Bistro. It's our anniversary! The food and service there never fail to impress. I often find myself declaring Indian cuisine as my top pick among all the international flavors out there! The warmth of Indian hospitality is truly delightful. Our waiter, Akhil, is exceptional—his attentive and meticulous service stands out every time. The restaurant consistently maintains a pristine, fresh, and elegantly appointed atmosphere. Akhil and the manager went above and beyond to make our anniversary unforgettable. They surprised us with a scrumptious slice of mango cheesecake, adorned with a candle, and handed me a lighter to ignite it and mark the occasion! How thoughtful is that? Akhil even offered to capture some photos of us. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making us feel so valued! My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant. I wanted to share a few snapshots here. Miriam & John”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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!”
“Amazing staff, wonderful ambiance, the most delicious espresso martinis and food! My family and I evacuated to Jacksonville from hurricane Milton and the staff made my night. I went there a ball of nerves and left feeling grateful for the amazing experience. Thank you to Jessica and your staff!! ~Christina from Seminole”

“This was the best atmosphere I have ever had by a restaurant and server. I'm still a young 77 yrs old. I have never had a server better then Haley was Monday night on 23MAR26. Our twin g-daughters turned 18 and wanted a family gathering at P F Changs. It was 11 people and she couldn't do enough for us. I am a 100% disabled veteran on an electric scooter and she arranged tables to make it a perfect evening. I would hire Haley to come serve our holiday meals because this is a tough bunch and they weren't all there. Please recognize Haley and give her a reward and promotion. I have sailed the Seven Seas and have never been served or treated this well. This is from Asia Europe South America & the Middle East. Thank Haley for making our granddaughters 18th birthday one I won't forget. Mike Thagard West Beaches Jacksonville FL.”

“The blueberry bread pudding with goat cheese is delish!!!!! Full Stop! But, the shrimp and grits were perfect too! Shrimp cooked just right and the roux was expertly seasoned. Some of the best food I’ve had in a while! 🤌🏼 Oh, did I mention the friendly and prompt waitstaff? Get there! You won’t be disappointed. 😊”
“We Elf the Musical tonight and it was amazing! Sarah Anne was our server and she was very professional and nice! The food was delicious! We will definitely be returning soon.”

“Went here by myself and had a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience. I should have asked for names but the ladies working this morning 2/10/26 were kind and quick. I got the buffalo chicken (good) and open dumpling (phenomenal) options to eat there. Hot and super full! Then I got the crème brûlée option to go for my family and we all loved it. Overall for three picks and a coke plus tip it was only 25$ and I felt that was extremely reasonable considering the food amount and service. I will be back!”
“We had a group of about 25 people o. Saturday, and the food and service were both top notch. Wiam and Raed jumped in with their crew, and took such good care of our huge group. The food was amazing, and most of us had never been there before, but all said we would be back. We can't thank them enough for hosting us!”
“Tikka Bowls and Tacos offers a unique and delicious fusion of Indian and Mexican flavors. The build-your-own bowls and naan tacos are packed with fresh ingredients and bold spices, making each bite flavorful and satisfying. The Chicken Tikka Rice Bowl and Mango Lassi were standout favorites. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual yet inviting. Whether you’re craving Indian flavors with a twist or looking for a fresh, customizable meal, this spot is a must-try! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“It’s a wonderful classic American diner. Special place,breakfast is very, very good. Multiple omelettes to choose from, pancakes. All kinds of good breakfast and lunch menu items to choose from. great Coffee , great service. The people there are really good. That’s what makes the experience better. The owner and the people making it happen are very good people and it’s very affordable for the good quality food and service that you get highly recommended. Don’t miss it. It’s the best place in town in my opinion.”
“If the bar stool pizza guy was here he would give this place at least a 9.. I will give them a 10. Based on the crust before I bid into it I could tell it was going to be good and folding the pizza and holding it up in the air without any support It did not flop and that's another awesome thing so I was already anticipating the flavor and it is perfectly seasoned and I did not need to add anything to it”
“Amazing evening out. Everyone was so friendly as you entered the restaurant. It started with one of the best pomegranate martinis I ever had. Our server Jessica was excellent and all the servers that came to the table paid attention to detail. The most impressive part of the evening was the impeccable style of chef Justin. We had the 6 courses chef’s adventure tasting menu and I cannot say enough about the cuisine. The harmony of flavors and the mastery of technique with the plating presentation was magnificent. The chef came to the table to explain each plate that was presented. He’s very knowledgeable regarding the dishes he prepares and you could see his personality come through in the way the dishes were plated and the flavors that came through with each plate. With the cuisine Justin is preparing this restaurant could be a Michelin star restaurant in notime. By the way I am gluten free so the chef had to make changes to my dishes only. I cannot say enough on how much we enjoyed the entire evening. We will definitely be visiting Matthew’s again.”
“We visited River & Post last night for the first time for a birthday dinner after hearing so many good things, and I can honestly say the praise was very well deserved. Everything from the quality and timeliness of our meals to the friendly, informative and attentive servers were exceptional, which sadly is not a common trait in upscale restaurants. I had the Broiled Ocean Platter which consisted of broiled mahi, three sea scallops and four large shrimp served in a citrus herb beurre blanc sauce, whipped potatoes and beautiful crisp tender veggies. All of my entre ingredients were cooked perfectly, the buttery lemon sauce was such a nice compliment to this dish and let all the distinct flavors of each seafood component shine. Too often sauces can be overpowering and used to moisten overcooked and flavorless seafood. I’m glad I opted out of a predinner salad or appetizer as this entre is very substantial and I wanted to save some room for dessert. My husband also very much enjoyed his choice of the Seared Filet Mignon served a mustard demi-glace, confit potatoes and sauteed broccolini. The steak was perfectly prepared to his medium rare request and he raved about how flavorful it was. Both of our meals arrived hot, beautifully plated, and we devoured them completely. Then the decision came for dessert. Since we were sharing, we opted for the wonderfully decadent Chocolate Mousse Torte. This torte could easily be called “Death by Chocolate” due to its intense deep chocolate flavor which had a more silken fudge like consistency than a typical fluffy mousse, but still seemed surprisingly light as the chocolate just melted in our mouths. The torte was served with a chocolate drizzle, freshly whipped cream and plump blackberries. What a wonderful finish to this birthday dinner! Thank you, R&P, for this great dining experience. We’ll definitely be back, and we won’t be waiting for the next birthday to do so.”
“Wonderful restaurant with a varied and unique menu. Their dishes are cooked to perfection and the service is impeccable!”
“It's all about Matt! Food: My husband and I had Fried Catfish and Cajun fries. Great! Place: Very nice. Pleasant atmosphere. Service: Extraordinary! Server: Matt. This is where I get into details. Everything about this place was pretty much like any restaurant we have eaten at. But, the service is what separates one location from another. Our server Matt was the point man on this and he has it in spades. He never missed a beat. He gave his real recommendations on what dishes are good and which ones are great. He kept our glasses filled, constantly making sure our table was clean. Always stopping by to make sure we were fine without being overbearing. He paid close attention to what everyone (we were a table of 8) wanted. And the whole time he smiled and presented himself as someone who loves their job. I would go back to Cajun Crab just for him. Great service. He is why I give this place a 5-star. Thank you Matt.”

“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!”
“We had a work 2026 New Year's Eve party at Island Wings on Southside Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. I worked with Rashad Graham, the catering manager and our waiter named Jared. They were FANTASTIC!!! Every step of the way in planning, Rashad was there and ready to help and give suggestions. When I arrived, early, for the party they already had everything set-up and ready to go. Rashad came and met me and introduced me to Jared. They had everything planned. Jared was assigned only to our group for getting cocktails. He was amazing, taking care of close to 35 people and no one was ever searching and searching for him. He remembered names and faces. The food was delicious and there was SO MUCH! They supplied boxes and we all took home some food. I have to say, this was one of the BEST parties we have ever had! Will be looking to them again for a other party in the future.”
“10 out of 10. More if possible. Matt the GM got us in when they didn’t have anything available for the time slot we wanted, phenomenal service, delicious steaks, the most surprising dessert which we were celebrating for my 10 y/o. Would recommend to any and everyone.”
“We sat in the outdoor patio along with other happy patrons celebrating the end of the work week. The staff are all friendly and fast on their feet! The restaurant has the feel of an informal gathering place but the food and drink are all very good and served in good time. It fits in nicely with the 5 Points ambience.”
“We really enjoyed our meal last night! We started with tuna poke served with wonton chips. It was so fresh and the chips were crisp. My husband got the grouper special and ate it all. I got the scallops. They were seared perfectly, the grits were creamy, and I'd love the collards recipe lol. Thanks for a great meal”

“I know this isn't a local joint, but it was late and local options were slim at the time. I wanted to send a shout out to Waffle House on Baymeadows Road in Jacksonville for an excellent experience last night. We walked in for a late dinner at 10 minute to 9. They were packed and short staffed. We grabbed the only open table and the shift leader (manager?), who was also cooking, brought our drinks and took our order, advising that it may be a wait. While we were there, 4 staff members that had been called in to help showed up and went right to work. They were a well oiled machine, continually checking on all of the tables, apologizing for the wait, and thanking everyone for their patience. We got our food and left within an hour. If we had gone to the IHOP 2 doors down, we would have still been waiting for our food (even in the best of times.) I know times are tough for the service industry right now, but these ladies and gentlemen handled it with grace and efficiency. I tipped 50% of the bill, and would have done much more if I could have.”
“I love Waffle House they're consistent with everything that they fix. My only issue is they never butter the whole slice of bread when it's hot they'll put a dab in the center of the toast and not spread it. That's not even a thing for most, just my preference...lol the server was happy, sanitary and prompt. I always get the same thing, cheese and egg plate with raisin toast and hash browns scattered covered and smothered”
“5 starts just so people can see this.. this is the most disgusting place anyone could work at. General managers like to verbally abuse female staff. The bread is SO unsanitary! They do not wash their hands.. bread falls on the floor and they put it back on the line to be cut and bagged up. I wish the customers knew just how gross this establishment is!”
“The waitstaff is outstanding! They know their food, wine, and how to have a conversation. I will be back.”
“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!”

“So let me tell you. I love their sushi. Good food. Great price. Always good service. Now a beef. I used to eat there twice a month. They give you fried Oreo for desert. Complements of the house. But when I order pick up guess what. They wanted to charge $6 for something they give me free. Used to be a regular and hate to even say something negative but that’s just not right.”
“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card.

“STEVEN! We loved having Steven as our server today. He was so fun to interact with and as always the food hits every single time, it's my 6 year old daughter's favorite restaurant and a must for anyone who comes to visit us from out of town.”

“Goated hidden gem. Whenever you need a bit of a confidence boost, come here and they’ll welcome you with open arms and a friendly “mami” or “papi”. Great reasonable coffee and fantastic food. Small menu which is all the better.”
“I absolutely love this food, besides the wonderful taste you get a heaping amount of food. I have never seen such a large calzone and the taste is amazingly big. It is large enough to feed four people and still have some left. The value is totally amazing. The food here is authentic New York with an owner so willing to please, he takes pride in his food, willing to accept and implement whatever request is made , if it is possible to do it he will do it. Howies’ owner is scrimping and saving for a place to show off his food, if he can keep thieves from steeling his equipment. I for one is rooting for him and hope to see his establishment upgrade soon. He has all homemade food the pasta he makes from scratch actually everything he makes from scratch,so let’s all wish him luck on succeeding.”
“Great for brunch, lunch or dinner!”
“What an experience!!! Great food, great c/s, the atmosphere, is definitely different to the southern realm. I will definitely return, first visit was Sunday, I'm back Wed. It's a must try.”

“We had an amazing time.Our experience at The Capital Grille was nothing short of extraordinary. They made our wedding anniversary and home deployment celebration truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, every detail felt thoughtful, warm, and special, which made such an important occasion even more meaningful. The food, as always, was absolutely amazing—perfectly prepared, flavorful, and consistently exceptional. This is one of the many reasons we continue to love coming back. What made this visit stand out even more was our incredible server, Hunter Plate. He was hands down the best server we have ever had. His recommendations were spot on, his professionalism was impeccable, and his sense of humor made the entire evening even more enjoyable. He created the perfect balance of elevated service and genuine personality, making us feel celebrated and cared for throughout the night. Because of Hunter and the outstanding team, this celebration became a memory we will cherish for years to come. The Capital Grille continues to exceed expectations, and this visit reminded us exactly why it remains one of our favorite restaurants.”
“On March 8 we visited this new restaurant for the first time. Right at the entrance we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary glass of champagne, which was a lovely touch.
I really loved the atmosphere — the restaurant is beautiful and very stylish, and that’s something that’s very important to me.
The waiters and managers were very attentive and clearly trying to make the service as good as possible. I ordered a lemonade and it was really nice that it was homemade. They even made it exactly the way I asked.
For my main course I ordered lamb on the bone, and it was absolutely delicious. Before that we had shrimp as an appetizer in some kind of amazing sauce. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the sauce, but if you go there, definitely order it.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back.”
“Absolutely phenomenal! From the atmosphere, to the food, the beverages, the lighting, the presentation & THE STAFF! It has been a while since I’ve had such amazing attentive & knowledgeable service… the staff really made our evening so special and everything was absolutely delicious! The presentation of the food was really beautiful & everything had an incredible flavor and freshness. The variety to choose from is vast so something for everyone! It was amazing trying so many unique dishes & loving every single one of them… amazing work with this place I am highly impressed & absolutely will be returning!”
“Ruth's does not disappoint. They managed the Valentine's crowd flawlessly. The vibes were top tier with soft lighting, rose petals and the manager greeting patrons. The food and cocktails were fantastic. Most importantly, our steaks were a perfect medium. My server was a bit forgetful but the evening was still wonderful. We will be back as usual.”
“I had the opportunity to celebrate my 5Oth Birthday Celebration at the Jacksonville location yesterday, and it was Phenomenal...if your looking for quality, exquisite, luscious meals..come here..if you are looking for 5 star customer service, come here...if you are looking for a quiet ambient setting, filled with a intimate dining experience..come Here.. this is the Best food I've tasted in a while, and III Forks does it with taste and style..thanks again Amber for being such a great host 10/10..can't wait to visit again.. Sincerely, Ms. Williams”
“For a small club. The vibe is low key and up beat. Customer service is on point. The staff is accommodating and the security make you feel safe. The facility is clean and the patrons are friendly. The club music caters to all listeners. The daytime happy hour is definitely respectable. The club managers stay on the floor to make sure the club's motion is positive!”
“We had a delicious lunch and everyone there made us feel so welcome! The environment is relaxing and service was excellent!! Thank you so much 😊”
“Amazing experience!!!! we did the tasting menu with a bottle of champagne and were blown away. Service and cuisine were exceptional!!!!!”
“🔥 Hidden BBQ Gem in Jacksonville – Authentic Smoke, Huge Portions, and the Best Collards You’ll Ever Have ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – First Visit to The Butt Hutt Smokehouse (Jacksonville, FL) Stopped in tonight while passing through Jacksonville on my way to Tampa for work — and I’m really glad I did. We got there around 6:40 on a Sunday evening. The place was busy but we still found parking and plenty of outside tables, and we ended up at the bar. Service started strong — our bartender Jacob was friendly, helpful, and quick to make recommendations. Later in the meal, we found out he’s also the owner and pitmaster, which honestly explains a lot about the pride and attention to detail that came through in everything. I ordered the 3 Meat Platter ($18) with Sliced Brisket, Smoked Turkey, and Pork Ribs, plus sides of Baked Beans with Sausage and Collard Greens, served with Garlic Texas Toast (not pictured). My coworker ordered the Burnt Ends Platter with Fried Okra and another helping of beans, and we also tried the Homemade Bacon — as to be expected here, it’s from the butt and not the belly. Thick little piggy nuggets of yummy. Everything was served classic-style on butcher paper over a metal tray. Portions were bigger than expected for the menu price points, and the food came out quick but not too quick. All the meats are smoked over pecan wood, giving a smooth, balanced flavor. • Brisket: 9/10 — tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being over-smoked. • Turkey: great flavor and really showcased the homemade sauces. • Ribs: my favorite — great smoke and cooked-on sauce. • Bacon: thick, savory, and pure indulgence. • Collard Greens: 11/10 — best I have ever had. Flavor, tenderness, and added-in meat. Wow. • Toast: simple but super flavorful. Crisp. The vibe was authentic, chill, and laid back — the perfect kind of find that feels unassuming on first pull up, but then it just envelopes you into a transformative, legit meat experience. Between the food, service, and atmosphere, The Butt Hutt hits all the marks of a great local BBQ spot. First timer. Will be a second timer. Must-try: Collard Greens & Ribs. Next trip: Jerk Chicken and Wings (and of course, will double up on the side of collards).”
Cheap Eats
“Lovely owner (I’m assuming) explained everything simply and I loved how she interacted with the family who came in after us. The ice cream is SO GOOD. So thick and creamy. Pro tip, keep it simple on the base and go hard on the toppings if you like a lot of toppings. But it’s delicious enough to just get the sweet cream and have it plain! Such a cute shop 10/5 stars”
“I was born and raised on Long Island NY! I left NY in 1978 and have NEVER HAD A PIZZA THAT REMINDED OF WHAT PIZZA SHOULD REALLY TASTE LIKE IT DID IN MY CHILDHOOD! UNTIL I HAD PIZZA FROM VITO'$! LOVE IT FRESH INGREDIENTS SUBURB TASTE! TRUE TRADITIONAL ITALIANO COOKING! YOU HAVE TO TRY THE EGG PLANT PIZZA! IT IS TO DYE FOR!”
“My fiancé chose this place for a random date and I was really glad he did. From the photos from others on Yelp it looked like a place to unwind and relax so I couldn't wait.
The photos didn't lie. This place is nicely tucked away from the Atlantic and San Pablo craziness. Walking in I felt transported to another country. As cliche as that sounds I don't have any other way to describe it. I love the items imported straight from Turkey for sale (the staff are true salespeople as they really wanted me to purchase something. They were beautiful but I didn't see anything that I HAD to have). In the back. the wisteria hanging from the ceiling and the middle eastern sofa for lounging and maybe for some snacks and hookah made it seem so cozy. I loved all the decor.
The first thing we got was the Turkish Coffee that was heated in hot sand. The guy serving us, I wasn't sure if he was the owner or not was really great. He warned us not to ingest the coffee grind/powder/sludge on the bottom but that we'd really enjoy the taste. That was perhaps the best tasting coffee I've ever had not to mention it was nuclear hot.
We got the Charcuterie for 2 which had lebna or lebneh, cheddar, gyro meat which I thought was shawarma but it wasn't, grape leaves, hummus, fruits and crackers with a side of honey and pita bread slices. I don't remember having lebna before but I loved it. There were some extras we got like the mozzarella balls, the ful medames, olives, and I believe some kind of date cakes. Trust me. We were good after eating all of this. My fiance also had Lentil soup which he said was nice and simple.
Definitely had a wonderful experience.”

“We come at least once a month for mom and son night out and see Olivia ! She's the best . We get share the Cesar salad and cosmic karma . Sooo good!”
“Our experience at Terra Gaucha has always felt like being with family. Over the years, we’ve celebrated so many special moments here — birthdays, anniversaries, and major milestones — and every visit has carried the same warmth and familiarity. The food is always on point. The flavor, the craft, and the attention to detail are consistently perfection. After moving out of state, we hadn’t visited in about four years. Now that we’re back, we were blown away by the thoughtful additions to the menu and the elevated dining experience. Everything was outstanding, but the highlight of our night was seeing our favorite Gaucho, João. We’ve watched the legacy and “empire” he and his partners have built over the years, and returning felt like reconnecting with an old friend. The kindness and professionalism of the entire team are truly unmatched. From the welcoming staff at the door, to the attentive servers on the floor, to the incredible team behind the scenes — Terra Gaucha continues to set the standard for Brazilian Churrasco. It’s not just food here. It’s tradition. It’s culture. It’s life. Thank you to João and the entire Terra Gaucha family for always making our moments memorable. Wishing you blessings as you continue to expand and bring Brazilian culture across the states. As we settle back into Jacksonville, tonight felt like being welcomed back home. Saúde!”
“I’ve been here a couple times, and every experience was great. The vibes are fun, the weight staff is attentive and the food is amazing.”
“Nice family owned Italian restaurant with a great selection on the buffet! Also includes all you can eat salad and pizza!”
“10 out of 10. More if possible. Matt the GM got us in when they didn’t have anything available for the time slot we wanted, phenomenal service, delicious steaks, the most surprising dessert which we were celebrating for my 10 y/o. Would recommend to any and everyone.”
“Barbi at the Mandarin Metro diner is 12 out of 10 stars she makes our visit very wonderful every time we come, which is often”
“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!”
“I do not know what is better, the perfect customer service or the delicious food ❤️”
“The food is always great! Bring your family and friends to enjoy an awesome meal. Ask to sit with Kelsey or Hailey. Best servers there!”
“We had an amazing time.Our experience at The Capital Grille was nothing short of extraordinary. They made our wedding anniversary and home deployment celebration truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, every detail felt thoughtful, warm, and special, which made such an important occasion even more meaningful. The food, as always, was absolutely amazing—perfectly prepared, flavorful, and consistently exceptional. This is one of the many reasons we continue to love coming back. What made this visit stand out even more was our incredible server, Hunter Plate. He was hands down the best server we have ever had. His recommendations were spot on, his professionalism was impeccable, and his sense of humor made the entire evening even more enjoyable. He created the perfect balance of elevated service and genuine personality, making us feel celebrated and cared for throughout the night. Because of Hunter and the outstanding team, this celebration became a memory we will cherish for years to come. The Capital Grille continues to exceed expectations, and this visit reminded us exactly why it remains one of our favorite restaurants.”
“Service was great! The food was amazing and delicious. Presentation of the food off the chain. Drinks were a little pricey. But overall a great experience.”
“Salento Steakhouse in Silverleaf exceeded all expectations! Sitting at the bar was a fantastic choice, thanks to the incredibly knowledgeable bartender, Daniel. He crafted some of the best cocktails and expertly recommended dishes that matched our tastes. His skill and hospitality truly made the entire experience unforgettable. My steak was absolutely the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. If you’re looking for top-tier fine dining in a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, Salento’s is a must-try! And hanging with Daniel is a goldmine ❤️!”
“Spencer is an absolute doll. I came with family on st paddy’s day and he was extremely attentive, even amidst all the fun chaos. Food was yummy, everything came out timely. I’m from the beaches and have never been to this location, much less on st paddy’s, and it did NOT disappoint. Much more room to roam here compared to the beaches location. Highly recommend and definitely ask for SPENCER! Thanks Culhanes”
“Went there for our anniversary. They had complimentary champagne on the table. The food was awesome as was the dessert. Service was great. Can't say enough about the entire experience.”
“YES, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BODRUM MEDITERRANEAN KITCHEN!!! 😁 Our team was TDY at JAX and decided to go for some Mediterranean food. This place is a hidden gem it seems as only a few people were eating in but we did notice a lot of to-go orders... We were seated in a cozy area of the restaurant by a window. Our dinner experience was like having a family meal where the meal was sooo good everyone stopped talking because all of us were too busy enjoying our food. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. This is by far the best Mediterranean restaurant I have dined at. Will definitely come back when we are back in the area again.”
“We really enjoyed our meal last night! We started with tuna poke served with wonton chips. It was so fresh and the chips were crisp. My husband got the grouper special and ate it all. I got the scallops. They were seared perfectly, the grits were creamy, and I'd love the collards recipe lol. Thanks for a great meal”
“Delicious food, excellent service, reasonable prices, very clean restaurant and the owners super friendly. My favorite restaurant ❤️. The best place to celebrate the birthday 🎉.”

“Great ambience and food. Ramen noodles were tender and the broth was flavorful and well seasoned. Big portions and reasonable prices. Highly recommend!”
“We dined at 13 Gypsies after trying to walk in a couple of times on spontaneous visits. So glad we finally were able to plan ahead and secure a reservation. We had the ricotta with smoked honey, the house made chorizo, the shrimp and the zanahorias. I everything was delicious and the service was excellent. We finished off our meal with nun farts (think beignets but crispier on the outside and much lighter on the inside) with homemade caramel sauce and a delicious cheesecake with berry compote. I am looking forward to another visit to try more of their menu- you should go too!”
“We sat in the outdoor patio along with other happy patrons celebrating the end of the work week. The staff are all friendly and fast on their feet! The restaurant has the feel of an informal gathering place but the food and drink are all very good and served in good time. It fits in nicely with the 5 Points ambience.”
“Had an incredibly delicious meal and great time playing games for a work dinner. Looking forward to visiting again!”
“My family is obsessed with this place! It’s so delicious!! Even my parents who live out of state request it whenever they come to visit. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Thanks to our attentive and knowledgeable waiter, Sebastien we had a wonderful experience. The service, drinks and ambience were exemplary, and the food was quite good. The salmon was delicious, but the branzino was slightly overcooked. The dessert was unbelievably delicious! Overall, the flavors were tasty and we will definitely be back.”
“I love the vibe in the energy and the food was fabulous as well as the best margarita I've ever had, including in Mexico. The service was phenomenal. The value was amazing. I would go back every time. I'm in Jacksonville. This place is the bomb.”

“Josephine’s is so underrated! Always a great meal and great service! Date night or family night it’s always the perfect spot!”
“I have dined here often and always enjoy the experience. The food is very good, and the presentation is wonderful. Staff is prompt and efficient and I am always greeted with smiles. Bring a sweater, they tend to keep it cool in the restaurant. But I will never complain about that!”
“ALWAYS great food and great service! Very fresh sushi and salads! Their dinners are also always perfect, our favorite is the side filet medium. I love that you can get the usual full hibachi meals but if you don’t want that much food, they have a “side” menu where you can get just the hibachi meat without the veggies and rice. Best Japanese food around!”
“Atmosphere Is Amazing! Great Music, Great Staff and amazing food. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOUR IN JAX, FL”
“I spent my 45th birthday here on march 14th. When I say this place was greattttt. The show was great.one queen left a great impression on my heart.

The paella was amazing! As well as the deserts! Flan was definitely my fav! I met the Chef and she was very friendly and kind, all the service was great too! They treated my children amazinly good as well as us too! I have no words but other than good stuff to share about the Casa Ibérica ❤️ I will definitely recommend this restaurant and of course I will be back to try and eat the rest of the menu they offer!! 10 out of 10 👏🇪🇸”

“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.”

“My family & I were made a stop in Jacksonville en route from Ormond Beach to NC today. We sought out the location of a Golden Corral & we were not disappointed with the food & service at this location. A special recognition & thanks Zori. She was very kind & personable. She checked on us frequently & served us promptly, to make sure that we were enjoying our meal. I can honestly say that she helped make our selection of this location a very positive experience. Thank you again, Zori.”
“After disappointing switching from one Mexican dive to another in the area, we finally found an authentic family-owned Mexican restaurant that didn't cut corners to increase profit. Our biggest let-down was when we ordered Chile-rellenos at a competitor's and got a ' thin slice' of poblano covered with Velveta cheese. We've been with Rosy's since they opened and was so happy we found authenticity with quality that is not masked behind gaudy chain-restaurant decor. They are like family! Always wanting to please with a smile, they ask if you are satisfied and mean it. They have a large loyal following. Everyone who's eaten there say the same thing; they're the best. You won't be disappointed.”
“We had a work 2026 New Year's Eve party at Island Wings on Southside Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. I worked with Rashad Graham, the catering manager and our waiter named Jared. They were FANTASTIC!!! Every step of the way in planning, Rashad was there and ready to help and give suggestions. When I arrived, early, for the party they already had everything set-up and ready to go. Rashad came and met me and introduced me to Jared. They had everything planned. Jared was assigned only to our group for getting cocktails. He was amazing, taking care of close to 35 people and no one was ever searching and searching for him. He remembered names and faces. The food was delicious and there was SO MUCH! They supplied boxes and we all took home some food. I have to say, this was one of the BEST parties we have ever had! Will be looking to them again for a other party in the future.”
“El Cabo Restaurant offers something for everyone. My niece suggested we go to a place with traditional Mexican food. I wanted to try the Mexican street food. My husband my husband likes the Tex-Mex on the hotter side. We all received a delicious meal just the way we liked it! Diana, our waitress was very patient and kindly explained the extensive menu to us so that we could order exactly what we wanted. The food and drinks were delivered fresh and hot. No matter how you like your Mexican food, you can find it at El Cabo!”
“I order the super bap for delivery frequently. It's a healthier option than most delivery out there. The super bap has lots of vegetable options and the portion is enough for 2 meals. The veggies and pickled cabbage is always freshly made. It's a great option for when you don't want to cook but you're still trying to eat healthy.”

“My first time visiting the Sugar Factory was awesome! It was the best way to commemorate my 50th birthday. Our waiter, Frankie, was attentive, friendly, and patient. I am so happy I chose Sugar Factory, and I will be returning. Honestly, a celebratory dance is what I needed!”
“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.”
“Beautiful place. Loved the service there. The drinks was good, the food was good. Would go again. I was a bit disappointed as the first floor was not allowing us to go around. The gallery in the stairs was closed. That was one of the reasons I went there for my birthday. Also no flashlight allowed for pictures. Not happy there but rules are rules. Beautiful restaurant and clean. I recommend.”
“Can I just start off by saying outstanding customer service to Sebastian. If your manager is reading this please give this gentleman a raise 🙏! He was fast , very educated about the menu items , and full of joy with a charming smile . Our experience was lovely here and the food was the bomb . Mom dukes had the baby back ribs full of so much flavor and a great portion that covered the whole plate. Me myself the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were phenomenal 😋 along with the fresh handmade french fries. Also, for dessert, the fudge sundae was delicious as well . If your looking for a afforable restaurant Firebirds is definitely it ! If you go to this location ask for Sebastian he will definitely make sure your served with the upmost respect. Wonderful atmosphere at this restaurant as well. Thank you for making my mom enjoy her valentines day gift . Rate 10/10 we will be back again !”

“We just had a lovely lunch here. We ordered the Portofino sandwich and it was delicious! I ordered a Coke and it came in a cute little bottle. Our server was very attentive and refilled the water glasses. Our sandwich was made on focaccia that is made in-house and it was so good! It was a great find.”
“Dining at Hollywood Heroes and Subs was a very pleasant surprise. I went here with my coworkers. It is a little hidden gem. The entire team is welcoming and friendly. The price is affordable, and the food was fresh and fast. I really enjoyed my lunch. I will definitely be back and it was definitely worth venturing out to try.”
“My first time in the bakery today and was recommended by my Tattoo artist in the same strip mall. I went in for the highly sought out butterfinger brownie and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious. I left out with an assortment of delicious goodies, brownies, cinnamon rolls that are so moist and delicious, cake and a cheescake. Will definitely be bake for the banana pudding and cookies. Very friendly and super helpful. So professional and very good at what they do. Great prices. They even do custom orders, just FYI. I will be a repeat customer. I live in Nassau County and will make the drive into town to purchase all my sweet cravings🥰”

Our server beyond fantastic. She was attentive, kind and seemed to really enjoy her job. Our food was hot and delicious. We always go with simple meals to start so we look forward to trying something outside our usuals. If you're looking for a wonderful breakfast with a fantastic crew, Keke's is definitely the place.”
“Okay… Yellow Rose BBQ?? I get it now.
We got the Pitmaster Platter with brisket + turkey tacos, a Texas Rosebud (and I’m not exaggerating when I say I could eat like 12 of those), plus fries, mac and cheese, and elote pasta salad.
The brisket… I’m being so serious when I say this is some of the best brisket I’ve ever had in my life. Like actually insane. So tender, so flavorful, didn’t need sauce at all. None of the meats did, which says everything.
The turkey was also SO good!! juicy, thick, not dry at all (which is rare for turkey tbh). I don’t even usually care about turkey like that but this?? yeah, this is the only place I’ll eat turkey from.
THE SAUSAGE IS ALSO WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF. You know those sausage snap videos on instagram??? Yeah they’re so good you’ll turn into a glizzy gobbler real quick lol
And what makes this even better is my best friend (who put me on) is from Texas and is super picky about her BBQ… so this had high expectations and it still exceeded them.
I literally cannot stop thinking about this food. Like it’s a problem.
I will 100% be back 😭🔥”
“I stopped by Bitty & Beau’s in San Marco today, and what I expected to be a quick coffee run turned into one of the most uplifting experiences I’ve had in a long time. The chai tea latte was absolutely delicious—smooth, perfectly balanced, and made with so much care. But honestly, the coffee is just the beautiful bonus.
This place is so much more. It’s a human rights movement disguised as a coffee shop, and you feel that the moment you walk in. The team members—individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities—are genuinely proud, warm, and incredibly skilled at what they do. Their smiles, enthusiasm, and attention to detail made my visit feel special and seen. Watching them work with such joy and competence is a powerful reminder of how much talent and heart gets overlooked in our world.
The founders’ mission—to change the way people see other people, one cup at a time—shines through everything here. In a society where over 80% of people with disabilities face unemployment, Bitty & Beau’s is creating real opportunity, dignity, and belonging. It’s not charity; it’s smart, inclusive business that lifts everyone up.
If you’re in Jacksonville (or anywhere near a location), come for the exceptional coffee, stay for the even better humanity. My heart is full, and I’ll be back often—not just for the drinks, but to support this incredible movement. Thank you, Bitty & Beau’s team—you’re making the world brighter, one welcoming smile and perfect pour at a time. 💙
Highly recommend. Go see for yourself.”

“This was the best atmosphere I have ever had by a restaurant and server. I'm still a young 77 yrs old. I have never had a server better then Haley was Monday night on 23MAR26. Our twin g-daughters turned 18 and wanted a family gathering at P F Changs. It was 11 people and she couldn't do enough for us. I am a 100% disabled veteran on an electric scooter and she arranged tables to make it a perfect evening. I would hire Haley to come serve our holiday meals because this is a tough bunch and they weren't all there. Please recognize Haley and give her a reward and promotion. I have sailed the Seven Seas and have never been served or treated this well. This is from Asia Europe South America & the Middle East. Thank Haley for making our granddaughters 18th birthday one I won't forget. Mike Thagard West Beaches Jacksonville FL.”
