50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Jacksonville

“Wonderful restaurant with a varied and unique menu. Their dishes are cooked to perfection and the service is impeccable!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Written to “Billionaire” by Travis McCoy (feat Bruno Mars)

I wanna go back to Bellweather so freaking bad
Try all of the things I never had
Order a Bellweather Burger and start with poutine
Lovin Korean fried Broccoli

Oh, every time I close my eyes
I think about the shoestring fries, yeah
A different entree every night, oh, I swear
Jacksonville foodies should prepare to try Bellwether

Yeah, if I had a show like Oprah, I would be sure to boast of
Drinks all A-list, just tell ‘em your preference
Got a museum or a show downtown you wanna hit?
Stop here before for apps, dinner and liquid libations
Came here before the symphony, had a chicken sandwich
And last but not least, crispy potato side dish“

“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.“

“We were looking for a place to have Brunch and a lady outside of the restaurant gave us a Menu and invited us to enter. She took care of us and recommended The Scallops, the huevos rancheros, and the ribeye, we really enjoyed a wonderful meal, the atmosphere and the kind waitress. We can not wait to try other dishes“

“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!“

“Food is amazing, staff is friendly and food was pretty fast“

“The waitstaff is outstanding! They know their food, wine, and how to have a conversation. I will be back.“

“Amazing experience!!!! we did the tasting menu with a bottle of champagne and were blown away. Service and cuisine were exceptional!!!!!“

“This place is fantastic - it is small but mighty. We had a 20-25 minute wait but it was worth it and we aren’t locals but were in Middleburg visiting a family member this weekend. The food and frozen margaritas were fabulous but what really stood out was the service. I want to give a huge shout out to our server, Olivia, as she really went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. She had no clue that our cousin’s husband passed away earlier in the week and that this was the first time she has been out for a meal without him - she was very emotional and sad but she wanted a frozen margarita so when all of us family members arrived in the area- that’s what she was getting. Olivia was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of and we appreciated it tremendously. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and the portion sizes are huge - the beef tip burritos and quesadillas are delicious and we would get those again every time. Best wishes for this business and they are going to have to expand eventually with what they have to offer!“

“Awesome concept for an ice cream/coffee shop. The environment was so welcoming and so was the owner and other employees. The price for the quality was completely reasonable and it’s cool because your options for trying different things each time are endless. We will definitely be back.“

“great great service is great also“

“My mom and I picked up a 4-pack of cookies. The cookies were tasty, but a little too doughy for me in my opinion. I prefer my cookies a little crisper around the edges. However, I actually did enjoy.

One in particular to my surprise, was the Confetti Milkshake cookie. It has sprinkles. I’m anti-sprinkles on all things. But mom wanted to try it. I must say that was my favorite. It was a little crisper than the others and the icing was creamy and not too overly sweet.

Yes, I would return as the cookies are tasty.

Side note, reserve some calories for the day because one cookie can set you back 700 calories and rising. LOL! I say share the calories with someone as these cookies are huge.

Parking: Plenty of free parking. The place is in a plaza.“

“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.“

“Great food and great service! Laci was the best server I’ve ever had at a restaurant! Would highly recommend and go back!“

“Left the airport starving and came here before my drive to Jekyll island. The blackened scallops were fresh and so so good! The fried shrimp was so good! The greens were amazing!! Friendly atmosphere, diner vibes. Loved this place!!“

“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.“

“Vale catered a beautiful and healthy lunch for the teachers and staff of Global Leadership Academy. From first contact through set up Aaron the manager and Sonny the owner handled the event like it was a white glove gala. Their communication was on point leaving no room for worries.

We ordered 1x Full Pan of Vale Rice 1x Full Pan of Cilantro lime Brown Rice and beans 1x Full Pan of Chipotle Mac n Cheese ( twice baked with extra cheese topped ) 1x Full Pan of Spinach and Arugula Salad 1x Full Pan of Baja Summer Kale Salad 1x Full Pan of Roasted Broccoli 1x Full Pan of Turmeric Onions and Peppers 2x Full Pan of BBQ Chicken 2x Full Pan of Turkey Spinach Feta Meatballs 2x Chipotle Ranch 2x Vale Vinaigrette 1x full pan of Almond Butter protein Brownies 20x white chocolate macadamia cookies 20x chocolate chip cookies. The meatballs are so yummy as well as the brownies. Everything was scrumptious and so fresh. I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again on my next event.“

“I am Linda Shilby and Diamond Dave’s wife and partner. We are honored to have started our very popular open mic at CULHANES Southside.
We have frequented CULHANES at the Beach since 2010, the fabulous Ruby Beach used to play there on Saturday nights. It was then we discovered the amazing Irish recipes that are mouthwatering! There are so many great dishes, all of the Irish dishes you would expect and then some, all with the. Culhane twist! There are also many fabulous offerings of American dishes, always with that little extra. Extra special drinks and beers, not to mention 5 Sisters Vodka they produce. This is a very special restaurant as they have recipes you will not find anywhere else. The daily specials and happy hour are worth coming in for!
The CULHANES sisters are amazing to work with. CULHANES Southside is a classy richly decorated venue with an incredible staff! Our open mic patrons are having a ball ! We play in the bar area and to the bar crowd and it is nice background for dining, not overbearing in the area. We want to Thank the Culhanes Sisters for the opportunity. We will enjoy this partnership for a very long time, if they will have us💜💫🎶🥳

So we decided to patronize aloha waffle bar. Omgosh this place is amazing! They have every kind of waffle imaginable both sweet and savory. They have an amazing menu with all sorts of coffee, tea, frozen drinks and the waffles. Their outdoor area is so nice! And the staff is amazing. Owner Melissa is sooo nice and accommodating.

Their selection of cakes is pretty good and my favorite has often been the Italian Lemon Cake. Also try one of their variety of European beers when here, too.“

“Great family owned place!! Staff and eats/drinks are fabulous ❤️“
