Restaurants in Jacksonville Beach

“This is a very popular restaurant and bar in Jacksonville Beach offering California inspired foods and wines from Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The ambiance is beachy and classy. Beautiful decor with great subdued lighting. I loved it. The darker woods with very comfortable booths were just what I like.

Our server was Brandon, who was a delight with lots of great tips about the area as well as delicious items and wines on the menu. He was awesome, attentive with a good sense of humor.

I ordered the Korean BBQ Ribs with shoestring fries. The ribs were delicious and spicy but I didn't care to have so much sauce poured over the fries. Less is more in this instance. A mix of flavors would be better.

My daughter ordered the Thai Coconut Curry Grill with center cut sirloin. She liked her meal just as it was.

For dessert, we shared the Bread Pudding. It was very good.

We had a lot of fun there, thanks to Brandon's outgoing personality! Parking was free just outside the restaurant. We definitely would return again.”

“The appetizers, drinks, the food, and most of all the service was outstanding thank you Jessica your energy service and attention to detail made our night!”

“One of the best restaurants in Jax beach and some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Tons of vegetarian options. Can’t recommend them enough.”

“Great food and never disappoints. Service is excellent”

“Upcharge on drinks (ordered drinks from drink menu, but was charged for a more expensive alcohol). Bread charge. Food was over cooked. Noisy atmosphere. Why all the 5 stars?”

“My wife and I visited today for our anniversary. Everything about this place is top notch! Our server, Ryan, was exceptional and very friendly. There was a good atmosphere and the food is probably the best Indian cuisine that I have ever had. They even went above and beyond and gave us a free desert to celebrate our anniversary . If we are ever back in the Jacksonville area we will make sure to come back! If you live in the area or even hours out of the area, I can assure you that you will enjoy the food! Be warned: portions are generous so make sure you come hungry!”

“Wonderful, pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Drinks were great, service was great, and the food was delicious. Very clean well kept restaurant. Would recommend to anyone, and we will be back soon. 5 star. 3/6/2024 Met Karrie the manager and she was exceptionally nice and made our dinner very memorable.”

“They always have a nice selection of beers. Staff is very nice.”

“Love this place. There are gluten friendly options which is nice including an alternative to the soy sauce. Atmosphere is nice. Service has always been good.”

“Hi all I had my daughter in town from college this evening and she chose SALT LIFE for us to eat dinner. I have to say the food & service was impressive and delicious ! Server Bree(apologies if I spelled it wrong)xx, she was absolutely the best & top notch service! We had a great experience and will, definitely dinein again! If you’re a local or just new in town, this place has it all on the menu in one visit! My crew enjoyed the below : The beach boil😋😋, mahi tacos, queso, quac, grilled captions platter, and chicken pasta. All of these dishes were super fab! Thank you SL & Bree for a great local experience! You”

“food was great. staff was awesome”

“Dogs allowed inside and they have wine!”

“Everything was absolutely delicious! 5 star quality food and service (-: Can’t wait to come back and hoping we get Seth again! He made our Saturday night a blast!!!”

“We planned a quick last minute wedding, and Kira was beyond accommodating. She was always available, and her communication was on point. Texting, calling, showing up…she always made time for me even if she was in the middle of something else. We originally reserved the dining room for our family reunion, but due to extenuating circumstances, our brunch turned into a last minute wedding celebration instead. Kira went over all our options and recommendations, sat down with me to plan the seating arrangement, and brunch menu, and even created a fancy custom drink menu for us. The venue was beautiful. The views were gorgeous. The buffet display and food was amazing. The table settings and linens were lovely. The bartender and wait staff were phenomenal. They made this day so perfect in every way. they went above and beyond & I cannot rave enough about our wonderful experience. Thank you so much, Kira.”

“Service was impeccable. Great atmosphere, absolutely delicious plates. And the taste of Torreas de Horchata - mmmm superb toast. It is all about the great customer experience, and this place can ensure this. I must say one of the great restaurants over the USA I've been visiting so far. Highly recommended.”

“We've been working in the Jax Beach/Ponte Vedra area for awhile. We've extended at Longhorn multiple times. Jules took great care of us. Lunch special cost about the same as fast food, but taste and food are much better. Fries are great. Burgers and chicken sandwiches are always on point. We'll keep going back.”

“Wonderful menu and great music!”

“We came for lunch and everything came out so fast. Trinity was SO sweet and attentive our entire visit. She explained everything with ease and made our visit so great. ☺️”

“I loved everything about it. The food, the service, the atmosphere... all of it, I'd give 5 stars! 10/10. Next time I'm in Jacksonville, I'll definitely be coming back to RP's.”

“Great service! Nice atmosphere”

“I've been here twice and I've enjoyed each time. However, I was here with my friend for her birthday and I asked what they do for birthdays. The response was, nothing with a chuckle. But, other an that the place has a good vibe. Thanks Tina for outstanding service.”

“Just wanted to give a BIG shout out to Johnny, a cook at Joe's Crab Shack tonight. We went there to celebrate a birthday and my daughter has a food allergy and he went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of. He took the time to come out and speak to her, take her order and then cooked it safely and specifically for her. He made an amazing Chicken Alfredo that honestly was the best dish at the table! Made her night, her boyfriend, and her momma! Thank you Johnny! I hope you see this!”

“Hadn’t been to Japanese Steak House in a while & very much enjoyed our experience. Celebrated a birthday too”

“Great place for a drink and appetizer. Mike the bartender is the best! He makes us feel like we have own private bar. And he makes a mean espresso martini! Nice view of pier and beach.”

“Chili was great and the atmosphere was fun.”

“Usually super fun, I’m just remembering one of the bartenders leaned in after I payed for my overpriced drink and scolded me on not tipping. She said “that’s how we making a living.” Babe why would I tip you for pouring liquid in a cup with a straight ass face?? LMAO I did not tell u to work here 😭 develop a trade and skill!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mavi Waterfront Grill is an absolute gem if you’re looking for great food with a beautiful waterfront atmosphere. We came in by boat, thanks to the nearby marina, which makes this spot super convenient for anyone enjoying a day on the water.

The restaurant has a stunning view of the marina — perfect for relaxing and watching the boats drift by. The patio seating is a must on a nice day; you can feel the breeze and soak up the laid-back, coastal vibe.

Food-wise, everything we ordered was top-notch. The seafood was fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The cocktails were also a highlight — refreshing and perfectly crafted for a waterfront setting.

Whether you’re coming in off the water or just looking for a scenic spot to enjoy a meal, Mavi Waterfront Grill is well worth the visit.”

“We finally made it to Lone Wolf today after being followers for awhile! And we HIGHLY recommend this little “sandwich” shop. I had the Run In Circles (chicken cutlet, bacon, ham, American cheese, lettuce, cool ranch Doritos and wolf sauce. My husband had the Monday special ; a smash burger. A properly done smash burger too. Everyone was so polite and Tiffany was so welcoming and even gave me a tip on how to reheat the other half of my sandwich! 10/10 recommend!”

“Gator Ice Cream is amazing! The staff is wonderful and their ice cream is so delicious! The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup is a must try in my opinion!”

“Visiting from Texas and we’re picky, but these tacos hit the spot! The Taki’s topped queso was rich and delicious. The atmosphere is great, and the staff are very friendly. Their bottled hot sauce was yummy too, flavor LCU and not just heat. Liked it so much I bought a bottle for home! 10/10 recommend”

“Delicious food and friendly service”

“Say yes to the Kava shell! Boola 💛 Great atmosphere!”

“We came in to eat and was greeted by the owner/owners wife. Food was delicious and very inviting. Restaurant was very clean and they are very hospitable which is what Filipinos are all about. This place became a place for us to visit every year when we come to town 🇵🇭 We will see you guys again and thank you for representing our country in Jacksonville ❤️”

“First time visitor today. Got a slice and a Philly cheese steak (no mushrooms). First bite impression? SPOT ON! This place does it right and when the owner came by to ask how our food tasted, I had to ask…”You from NY?” Nope, South Jersey. Flavors remind of the good stuff back home. Highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back for more!”

“My girlfriend and I have been out to this spot three times now, and every time it’s just good vibes all around. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is super laid-back and inviting. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious..every single time. It comes out fast, fresh, and perfect. This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Jacksonville. We love it!”

“Incredible ice cream! Probably the best I’ve ever had in Florida. The quality and richness is so good. I’m so tired of overrated places that have cheap-tasting ice cream. This place is the BEST!”

“It was our first time here, I’ve been to this plaza dozens of time for mayday ice cream and never noticed this establishment. Me and my daughter tried it out tonight and were astonished at the food. In her own words: « This was the best sushi I have ever had » and for me I definitely want to come back! I was very happily surprised to find tokayaki here as I love it and the black dragon roll was fantastic!”

“It is delicious! Service is good and fast.”

“I love snoballs. I’ve lived in Barbados, New York, Boston, etc… these Pelican snoballs are magical artistry. I asked the clerk to pick for me and she gave me a coconut cream pie snoball. All I can say is WHOOOOOAAAAA!!!!! It’s been 3 hours and I can still taste it. I wish I had more hands to give them more thumbs up! Do yourself a favor and stop by asap!”

“Awesome as always and greatly prices”

“Fresh and delicious a breath ID fresh air with ask the bad food out there”

“Authentic homemade hummus and tzatziki sauce. Food and owner are stupendous.”

“This was my first time trying Relish, and they are basically subway for burgers and I am already a fan! Probably cause of the sauces and the toppings cause to me they might be the most important thing to someone who can only eat fish or veggie options at places that don’t offer halal meat

But the fries were absolutely insane, I usually can’t/don’t finish my fries at places like this but Relish fries were super good.”

“Dog friendly place! If you’re a huge dog lover, this is it. We really enjoyed the flights. Bartender, Sara was patient and informative about the different brews they offered. My favorite was the raspberry shandy. They also had count chocula beer which was chocolaty and smooth . I found one beer that even tho my husband ordered it, I kept sneaking sips of it! He finally said get your own! ?
It was so good! The pomegranate diamond. I wish I bought some to take home.”

“Delicious Every Time! One of our Favorite Places to eat!”

“Stopping at the beach today and we needed a quick bite to eat. We pulled into Larry’s Giant Subs and were so glad we did. Food was delicious and service was phenomenal. Folks were hospitable and friendly; I didn’t feel like we were just another number. If you’re hungry, stop on in. You won’t regret it! We’ll be back!”

“I love this place. Best subs in Jax. Always look forward to talking to Barbara and the boys. The radical and Gnarly Charlie are the best especially the radical heated up”

“Just found this place today. It is so cool. Great atmosphere and great drinks. I started with a specialty coffee and ended with the triple whip smoothie sour. Yum yum yum. The staff are great and helpful with drink choices. The place is three different areas and includes and old arcade in the back. This will be my new hangout”

“Incredible ice cream! Probably the best I’ve ever had in Florida. The quality and richness is so good. I’m so tired of overrated places that have cheap-tasting ice cream. This place is the BEST!”

“Had the Mary Jane. Great mixture of flavors and spice. Well done. Recommend for anyone in the area”

“We came down to Jax for my birthday and a good friend of mine recommended TacoLu. We sat outside and the weather was perfect! The food was to die for! Perfect portion sizes and the price of the food for the portion size was better than what we pay at home for Mexican food. We will definitely be back to eat here! Thank you for a great experience! #Luval”

“Love them!! Great cookies, ice cream and people! 🍪🍦”

“This is one of my favorite places to get coffee and get a little work done on the laptop! The coffee is amazing and the vibe here is awesome too! 10 out of 10 recommend!”

“I was the Hot Dog Hut today and can tell you the new Owners are delightful and completely remodeled, sparkly clean restaurant - with ice cold beer and great, reasonably priced and fresh food. Jeff and Jessie have kept the robust menu and enhanced the quality and freshness with more locally based suppliers. My favorite so far is the Hot Italian Sausage. If you like spicy hot dogs it won't disappoint. The mild is also good too! Stop by and enjoy a chat with the engaging new owners and great food!”

“Food and Veronica, our server, were amazing! Great live music with 4 Play!”

“not too many places I can find Smithwicks. Surprised how good the food was, and great service”

“Cute little place with a few tables inside and a couple outside. I’m always getting the pita sandwich with eggs, tomatoes and spinach. Some real hot sauces. Washed down with an Americano. Highly recommend if you want to find a quiet place to work or just chill.”

“Really good food. Great bartenders.”

“Holy smokes we found it!!! Authentic Mexican food like we had back in MI!! And at normal prices!!! We have been disappointed since moving to Jax Beach area last year that all the Mexican places were “fancy” - weird, elaborate dishes that cost way too much for what they are. This place is amazing- the food was perfect, service was fantastic, and the total bill was under $20 for lunch for the two of us (before tip). Chips were crispy and the salsa was perfectly spicy and super flavorful. We will definitely be back - the lunch specials are exactly what we are used to from MI days (hello speedy gonzales!) 5 plus stars, highly recommend!”

“Great pizza, flatbreads and garlic knots”

“This place has the most yummy food. I got a Mediterranean salad the first time I came, and it was so delicious. Everyone else got sandwiches, and the next time we came we just got desserts which were some of the best we’ve ever had. It’s a beautiful building with lovely details everywhere, it feels like a mix between a special occasion and a family sandwich place, and an elite dessert cafe.”

“Stopped when on vacation. great food, friendly staff and Brian general manager was great! Highly recommend burgers! Ty ! 5 stars ⭐️!”

“Amazing food !!! Great service !!”

“Chicken on a stick tender af 👌🏼”

“Great, welcoming,warm,warm, Moose people. If you're in Jacksonville and you're a Moose, visit this place! If you're in Jacksonville and you're not a Moose, sign up!”

“What a great experience at Pinto Thai Bistro it was amazing and I loved the service”

“Great coffee and relaxing place with a great atmosphere. Delicious Blueberry muffin. Treat yourself special!!”

“I only visited this place once. We ordered the fried rice and the tofu sushi burrito, and both were quite tasty. The staff was mostly friendly, and the store was clean.

However, I did notice that portion sizes can be small, and you have to pay extra for larger portions of certain items, like cream cheese, avocado, and mango. The pricing is higher than average compared to other places, but that’s expected since it’s located in a beach tourist area.

Additionally, my videos also showcase fried avocado fries, which were from a different restaurant.”

“excellent rolls, sashimi & clear soup all delicious. salmon thick sliced & very fresh tasting.”

“Update: Took my grandkids today who all enjoyed the great food. Especially the awesome biscuits, they can't wait to go back! Family and I just had breakfast here and our second visit was equally as awesome as our first one. Awesome breakfast, lots of choices, great service, friendly staff, and great atmosphere! We will no doubt be back again! Highly recommend!”

“Absolute best bar in Jax beach! The food is always great, and the specials are appreciated. But honestly, it’s the staff that make the place! You truly feel like family here!
*try the blue Gatorade…you’re welcome”

“Ate here, amazing cheesesteak. nice place, busy but good service. Pricey but worth it IMO.”

“We had a small gathering today for my dad’s 75th birthday. The food was great,the service was awesome. Our server ,Katia was great. She helped make our gathering perfect. Katia went above and beyond to make sure all in attendance have a wonderful time. Our food came out quick, hot and very tasty. We will be back for sure.”

“I was pleasantly surprised at the size, food and comfort of Delicomb. Great selection of healthy food that was delicious. Relaxed atmosphere to eat and chat with friends”

““the food was good but i’m apprehensive to return due to the women who took my order she was a skinny older white women with brown hair. I think her name was jamie. She was super rude and aggressive, i was asking certain questions about drink options and got short ride answer as well as huffing and puffing for i guess having to do her job. Food was great i think better then zaxbys but that staff member needs a reality check.”

“Ordered all vegetarian food- lo Mein and Kung pao Tofu, Spring rolls on the side. They were king to adjust the selection of vegetables based on my preference. Food was delicious and fresh. Manager/Owner lady is kind and friendly. Don’t think twice before ordering from this place. Loved it”

“Very good will be back soon”

“Fantastic barbecue for not a pot of money. Service wad friendly and fast. Our server had good recommendations and checked on us often. I only wish they served beef ribs. We will certainly come here again.”

“The most delicious juice bar I’ve been too. The açaí bowls are great, but I’m hooked on this pink flamingo power smoothie right now. I live out of town, but I’m here for a liver transplant and I couldn’t be happier than I am after I sip on this deliciousness”

“Such a cute place we love it, only few steps from my home too”

“We had such a great experience thanks to Nico at 490 Marsh Landing Parkway! He was incredibly nice and welcoming from the moment we walked in. His friendly attitude made us feel instantly comfortable, and you could tell he genuinely cares about providing great customer service.

Nico was super quick and efficient, but never made us feel rushed. He took the time to get our drink orders just right — and they turned out perfectly! You can tell he really knows what he’s doing and takes pride in his work.

It’s not every day you meet someone who’s not only professional but also brings such a positive energy to your visit. Nico truly went above and beyond — we left with smiles on our faces and drinks in hand!

Highly recommend stopping by and hoping you get lucky enough to be helped by Nico. He’s a gem!”

“This was hands down the best wedding cake I have ever had in my life. All of our guests are still talking about our wedding cake and wished they had more than one slice to enjoy the day of the wedding. We opted for a white chocolate raspberry flavor, but they can make just about any flavor you can think of.”

“Fresh ingredients and reasonable prices. Very good!!! recommend for sure!!”

“Great local burger joint! Can't go wrong with an extra side of the Dick's sauce.”

“I went to Mellow the other day for some appetizers and it turns out I needed dinner and I’m glad I got it. My waitress Summer was very kind and friendly and when I asked what she recommended she recommended one of the best house pizzas I’ve had. Her service was Amazing and the restaurant was very clean 10 out of 10 recommend and will be back here again!!!”

“wings were really good. ask for Dylan. best waiter ever”

“Starting 04/04/2024 they have introduced a new budget friendly menu. Green goddess caprese melt & other last season’s sandwiches are now available in half size. Mac and cheese comes with bacon on top! Pizzas and grain bowls have been removed from the menu.”

“Rocket Bombs, Rocket Bombs, Rocket Bombs. Just a great local bar. Darts, video golf and games. Did I mention the Rocket Bombs!”

“Omg, this was so worth the money. Definitely will eat there every time we vacation here.”

“The food is consistently good, and service is great! My “go-to” place for breakfast or lunch!👏👏👏”

“Love!!! Great service, great food. We will come back for sure”

“If you want to enjoy a cool and healthy alternative to to treat your family while beating the summer heat pop into Tropical Smoothie Cafe like I did today. As a tour guide and a foodie on machine that I gobbled up my chicken pesto wrap with such speed that I never got a picture. The staff is amazing this business has heart, made even more wonderful by Amber, I'm unsure of her actual title but she is certainly the hostess with the mostest! She went above and beyond to make sure I had an amazing experience. Kudos to her and all of the staff here at the beach.”

“Your location is amazing. Your delivery time from the time I hit send has never been more then 15 minutes!! Always Hot!! Thank You”

“Best place at the beaches to grab a drink and meet friends. Amazing service from all the bartenders especially the day time staff, they cater to all your needs and are amazing!

Skip the rest and just go to the best!”

“We went on a spur of the moment trip last weekend and loved it so much we came back the next weekend! Isaiah at the front desk brings so much cheer and happiness to the place. He is truly a light and does his job amazingly. We love that there is a restaurant attached to the hotel so we never even have to leave (we have a 2 year old and 3 year old) they also have a cute cafe and the coffee and chicken biscuit is very good! The only thing I would say could be better is the valet service. We went on the 4th of July so we knew it would be extremely packed. Just wish we could Park ourselves and pay an overnight parking fee instead of having to wait 45-50 minutes to get someone to bring your car around.”
