“Absolutely LOVE this place! Every smoothie I tried is perfection, you really can’t go wrong. Franchise owners are there working and so friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about their business! Atmosphere is light and pleasant- I post up and usually knock out an hour of work while I enjoy the smoothie and the space. My favorite smoothie place!!!“

“This place is a classic. I've been coming here for years, but I brought my husband in for the first time and everything was awesome. Also, the crabcake was way better than I expected. I always try the rotating martini and always ask about the rotating benni. This time it was a pb and j martini and an orzo and scallop benni. I wasn't disappointed. 🤤“

“Great food and friendly staff.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“If your journey goes through the Jacksonville or you stay there for a while you have chance to get real coffee. It really nice and friendly place, with beautiful pieces of art, gorgeous garden flowers and delicious coffee. Just one thing you should consider, mostly there is a long line here. They take online orders and even there aren’t many people inside you can wait 10-15 min. When you are not in a hurry go there and enjoy your coffee. I like my double shot and cortado👌“

“Very wonderful and personable owner . He takes pride in his business and went above and beyond for my son and I ❤️“

“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“

“food was great. staff was awesome“

“Serving a wide variety of lunch dishes with some emphasis on German dishes ranging from sausages/wurst, Reubens, but also American club sandwiches, vegetarian options, salads, pita offerings, wraps, heros. Lots to choose from and most dishes are ~$13 or less.

Seat yourself at most locations, then a server will bring menus and serve the table. Payment can be done through a QR code at the table or normally customers take the check to the register and maybe get a little something sweet from the display case or other candy treats.“

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

“Dogs allowed inside and they have wine!“

“Very good will be back soon“

“Delicious steak and cheese subs!!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.“
