28 Best American 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.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“This place was amazing! We're visiting from Michigan and I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to get gluten free and vegan options. I got the sunrise sampler. I was able to sub just egg for the real eggs and get gluten free French toast instead of the bread choice. It was the perfect amount of food. Plus our waitress was amazing and answered all my questions and if she didn't know something, she went to the back to ask. I wish Michigan had more restaurants like this!“

“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“

“best food and friendly place they always have a smile on their face and great service“

“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.“

“Awesome as always and greatly prices“

“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?“

“Seriously yummy!!! I’ve never had a donut like this- EVER!“

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

“It was always the Jags🐾🏈👍“

“Single with bacon, medium fried egg, spicy relish = Heaven! Some dude walked up to me while i was eating and suggested I used the seasoning on the fries, i tried it, splooshed! Turns out he was the owner! Really down to earth guy, will come back!“

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

“So glad to find this spot. Started with the best bottomless mimosas and fished with French toast and strawberries. Our sever Lori was the best taking care of all of our needs. We will def be back to see her.“

“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!“

“Friendly atmosphere and good drinking“

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

“Great group of people! Our acoustic group, Atomic Bacon has played there several times and we are booked for Saturday, January 15, 2022! Everyone is so nice and is a fun place to meet with friends and you're guaranteed a super time! Don't even have to be a member to enjoy great drinks, fun folks and a great time! Come join us on Saturday, January 15th (or earlier) and Party with us!!“

“I cannot say enough good things about our waitress, Hunter! From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, outgoing, and genuinely friendly—one of those people who makes you feel like you’re in great hands.

What stood out most was how professional and quick she was when a man nearby was making me uncomfortable. Without hesitation, Hunter handled the situation gracefully and made sure I felt safe. That kind of care and awareness goes far beyond what you’d expect at a restaurant, and it made the entire experience so much better.

On top of that, she never missed a beat with our table. Drinks were always refilled, food came out quickly, and she checked in often without being overbearing. Hunter truly made the night enjoyable, and I’d come back just for her service alone.

If you’re lucky enough to get Hunter as your waitress, you’re in for an amazing experience.“

“Feeding the Jax Beach bros since 2013 and still holding it down strong. The steak and shrimp combo? Absolute go-to move. Always cooked right, seasoned just enough, and hits the spot every time. Service is chill but on point, and the vibe fits perfectly for a solid night out with the crew. Longhorns keeps it consistent!“

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

“Ok, let me preface this by saying I might be reviewing this place with a bias, as my band, Bite the Bullet, will be playing some shows there. I will try to be impartial. First off, it's obvious they spent a LOT of money on this place, and it truly is a high quality project from a construction standpoint. I'm in construction and the design and layout was impressive! We did not bowl, but the lanes looked really cool. Upstairs was awesome! Nice long bar, tons of seating and a finally another venue at the beach with a stage area and dance floor large enough to support good entertainment. Now for the food and service.....it was Friday night and they were packed full at 8:00. There seemed to be plenty of servers and they were handling things pretty well, especially considering the crowd. Ours was a very friendly, helpful red haired girl who did outstanding. Food was a bit of a weak spot as far as quality and the amount of time to arrive, but they are newly opened and I'm sure still working the bugs out, so I'll cut them some slack for now. Overall, this is a much needed entertainment spot in Jax Beach and I am happy they are finally open!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Chili was great and the atmosphere was fun.“

“Good service, waiters were nice and the food was fast. I definitely recommend! 😁“
