“Just driving down HWY100 on Harley's at night when a rain storm came in during Daytona weekend and pulled for shelter. What a wonderful surprise with this band playing called Shack Ratters! Cheap drinks and great service. They had a big fire pit out back after the rain left us. Nothing but good vibes”
“The food is amazing! Seasoned well and cooked tender! The service is friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable! The outdoor picnic tables at the edge of the citrus grove is nice!”
“Arrived in Melrose early for a family dinner and decided to grab a beer at Melrose Pub while waiting for the rest of my party to arrive. Walked in and was immediately greeted in the most friendly way by patrons and bartender alike. Enjoyed an icy-cold Yuengling from the bottle ($3) and was treated like a part of the family. As a non-smoker, the only part I did not enjoy was the thick cigarette smoke. But no complaints here, this is a great little local spot where I will definitely return for another visit when traveling through this area!”
“The entertainment was better and very professional; I enjoyed it all very, very much!!!! I hope to be able to enjoy more events like the one on January 12,2024. The people were very nice. The band was not only a lifeband but they had a live Kroger. Dancer, talking to the music. So it was even more entertaining and it was just a really good time with good people and I recommend it to anybody in the surrounding Melrose area. They go and experience it once at least..Parking: Parking is first come first serve basis. And they also have optional parking on the far inside. So I can't find a place then they will find a place for you to park.Wheelchair accessibility: They do have wheelchair accessibility parking by personally. Would find it difficult to navigate through the actual place in a wheelchair , but they do have room for those who are in Wheelchair.”
“To die for fried chicken, gizzards, fritter and onion rings. Coming back from Jacksonville I stopped. Used to live in Melrose. Now I'm going to have to go back. Great prices and service! A+++”
“Excellent seafoods, drinks, & atmosphere in this restaurant. I've been here a couple times and love it. Perfectly fried seafoods, steaks and potatoes, and on certain nights they have people singing, and drinking on the other side of this place. It's a little pricey but I would definitely come back anytime.”
“Used to be pretty good a couple years ago.. last couple times I’ve been in the pizza was horrible chicken wings were white and horrible.. I wish i could leave a great review :(”
“Man they got a lot of good subs Andis Cheap comes with a drinkParking: Alot of spotsKid-friendliness: Ok great peopleWheelchair accessibility: There's like 5 wheelchair spots at the main door”
“Small dining area, but they seem to do a lot of carryout. The burger was flavorful with a nice bun. The fries are a bit overseasoned for me, but they will accommodate if you request no seasoning. A little bit of a wait, the burgers are fresh. We'll be back. Reasonable prices.”
“What a charming unique spot to stop for a bite to eat. Food was excellent, staff friendly and helpful. If you're driving by, it is worth a try! I had the shrimp bowl with rice and veggies and it was delicious!”
“The coffee here is pretty great. And, my wife says they make the best matcha latte in the area. The sitting area is pretty small and they seem to get busy quickly, but it's worth it.”
“I was a little skeptical at first but this has got to be the best burger I've had in a long time. FRESH lettuce tomato and onion. JUICY and BEEFY burger and their homemade sauce is dynamite. Not to mention the fries are nice and crispy. And their prices are so reasonable. I was amazed and blown away you definitely have to try this ”
“Ordered pizza on-line, pepperoni sausage mushrooms onion and green peppers. This place was busy, he was by himself. We waited around 40 minutes. He was pleasant to talk to, and apologized for our wait. Pizza was tasty, we tried it with a garlic hot honey sauce, not to bad. You should like hot though. Will return, maybe wings this time. Thank you, from Interlachen!!!”
“Great little diner that feels like a down south home country kitchen kinda place.Servers seem to all help each other so customers are well taken care of.My server recommended the burrito, which was quite good. At first glance, it seemed small, however looks were deceiving because it's rolled tight and fat. When paired with the gravy for dipping, I could hardly finish it. Delicious.Coffee was hot and endless, as it should be in any good diner! She even gave me a cup to go.Lots of larger tables for bigger groups, or for sharing with others "family style".Servers knew many by name, same with the customers. The locals must really like it here, I can see why; good food, decent prices, cozy welcoming atmosphere and sweet service.A great little breakfast spot for traveling through in @Ramona_the_Airstream getting some work done on my laptop while enjoying a good breakfast.”
“We stopped here on the tail end of our bike ride up to and through Gold Head state park. It is a great place to stop, right on the paved trail that leads to the park.The food was great!! 3 of us had the fish and chips. Good portion size on the fish, Mac n cheese & fries. Another in our group had a burger and said it was really good too. Sadly forgot to take a photo of the food, we were really hungry after our bike ride. Including a screen shot off our ride route in case somebody would like to check out the route. It was a great ride on the trail up to the park and out the back that looped back to the trail, about 20 miles. Not much traffic on the road part of the ride.”
“We accidentally found this gem on the way from NY to Sarasota. I have to say the food was great and the proprietor was very nice and helpful. We had tacos and quesadillas Mexican street style. Soooo tasty. I’ve added them to my must stop notes for next year.”
“Had lunch there on the way back from a football tournament. Was worried that the teenager would be hard to feed from a seafood place, but he tore up the shrimp. Been wanting to go there, was disappointed when they moved out of Middleburg.”
“This is my first time visiting Hawthorne Nutrition Center and I ordered a drink there it was very refreshing tasted wonderful the customer service was fantastic the store was very nice very clean and a very comfortable atmosphere the customer service was great the prices were great and I will recommend it to my friends and family”
“This is the epitome of great diner food! My family went for lunch, and we ordered burgers, onion rings, French toast, omelets, chicken tenders, milkshakes, and more.Everything was cooked perfectly. It came out quickly and was perfectly hot. The service was amazing (which is so hard to find these days)!It was clean and kid friendly. My little one's ice cream was so cold that just breathing on it made it steam. I wish we lived closer because we would quickly become regulars! If you're hungry and looking for something for everyone, this is the place to go.”
“Six star food, if you’re looking for great Italian food quality and a great price, please look no further. I don’t make a review on a restaurant unless I’ve been there atleast 4 times, every time I’ve been here it has been outstanding. Food is always great, great portions I always walk out needing a leftover box. Owner is always working and asking how the food is. This is a role model restaurant for the rest.”
“I absolutely love this place, our servers are ALWAYS sweethearts and the food is 10/10. My experience this morning was great aside from my complaint right now..It's unfortunate to complain but the HOST was jaw deoppingly RUDE to a disabled customer my husband and I helped into the restaurant. She didn't even greet the women just told her there's seating outside only... when the lady pointed out there's a table for two she seemed appalled she had to seat her there inside. She had a sour attitude and I witnessed on two occasions her coworkers ask if she's okay and she bluntly ignored them, mumbling under her breath and rudely checking out customers not even speaking to them and slamming her fingers on the tablet. I get having a bad day but it is your job to HOST and greet and she was extremely unwelcoming and rude. I had 0 issues taking her picture to put her on blast. Disrespecting my husband and I is fine but disrespecting the disabled or the elders is NOT. We were raised better in the south, so act like it. I wish I got her name :) But here's a pic of her, I'd recommend someone speaking to her or her job going to someone who would actually appreciate it.”
“Probably the best wine tasting experience I've had. Audrey is ideally suited to host, educate, and entertain. She is so personable, it seemed more like a visit with a friend. The wines are unique and very accessible. Overall, a great experience!”
“This is one of the better take out restaurants in the Jacksonville area. I ordered 2 dinners and as I left to get in my car I could not believe how heavy the bag was. Price may be a little high but, the quantity is a large amount. my Wife and I agreed we could spiltz one order next time.”
“This is a little hole in the wall that we found by chance. Service was top-notch. Our glasses never got empty, chips and Salsa were flowing. I got the wet burrito on our servers suggestion. It was the biggest burrito I have ever seen. It was also absolutely delicious! I look forward to being out that way again.”
“This place was a decent last minute find for pizza that's priced fairly. Then of course I had to get some ice-cream while I waited a few minutes. The peanut butter twirl was great but they have plenty of choices.”
“Whew child!!! When I tell you that this place slaps, I mean that one sip of any of their incredible shakes or teas will have you doing a whole entire hand clap ??Kim also provides top notch service and always has a smile on her face. Definitely my place for positivi-TEA!”
“The bartenders Candy and Tonya are AMAZING. The nicest women you could ever hope to meet. If youre a woman and worried about going out alone, this is the place to go. Extremely welcoming! I was blown over by the hospitality. Seriously, there are no words to convey just how much these women made me feel welcome. I WILL be back! ?”
“I really really love this place they are so nice and the food is probably the best within 20 miles. Not only that but they are very reasonably priced and once again the quality is unmatched ”
“It would be a five but,, marked it on the edge in hope you would read the review, this place is a bit of barbecue history, it's in connection with other great BBQ joints, first, I had the pulled pork, first bite I thought of N.C style, which is my favorite style, short of a not having that tang of vinegar, it was awesome, the bbq beans are spot on, and collards are the absolute best next to my mom's, (sorry mom) . It's true small town dining, from our hostess , who was having a bad day, kept smiling and present,”
“Small menu but staff is great and the falafel gyro is DELICIOUS! Desserts sound delicious but we did not try.Vegetarian options: Food is all prepared onsite so can be made with or without meat. Falafel patties are homemade and delicious .Dietary restrictions: Delicious lattes offering dairy, almond and oat milksParking: Ignore your GPS and just turn into Melrose Community Center from highway 26”
