The cooks, servers, and staff were, as always, quick, thorough, and the food was delish. Ibelieve I've had nearly everything on their menu now and it never is less than excellent! Quite likely our top 3-5 favorite nationwide! Easily could be number 1 with great competition. If you want amazing local food, this place is the spot. Thanks as always, y'all!“

“Had quite a wait but it was lunchtime. Tried to order ahead got answer then click. So had to walk in and order then wait outside for just about 30 minutes. They were busy and it was lunch time so it was understandable. If you read this….. call ahead like 45 minutes in advance. The food is excellent and definitely worth the wait, if you have the time.“

“We tried Clara’s Tidbits in Fleming Island today and were wowed by the sweet, welcoming, and informative staff. So friendly and eager to greet us and take our order. The chicken and potato salads were fantastic! The pita chips were crunchy and perfectly seasoned. The potato soup was the best I’ve ever had. The iced tea was refreshing. They were very good with my little ones and the dining experience couldn’t have been better. This was our first visit but certainly won’t be our last. Loved our experience.“

“I went on a Sunday afternoon. Very quiet. I had the patty melt and fries. The patty melt is always my go-to when I eat here. The fries are hit and miss. This time, they were not too bad. Sometimes, I can tell the grease is not fresh, and the fries have that dirty grease taste. Service was average. That can be hit or miss as well, depending on the server.“

“Love Noelle! Such an amazing server.“

“Crystal at the bar is a walking cup of coffee. Just have water and her attitude, energy. And personality will wake you up.
Management, please figure out how to turn her into a training course or promote so you can make more of her. Fantastic!“

“I have been a regular here for a while. I don’t know how to title this review but if I could I would call it, “How not to be a Karen in a Restaurant.”
I come here during the week almost daily to sit at the bar and get work done that I had no time for during my school day. The happy hour prices are also a great bonus!
I come here because the staff is warm and like family, and just as important, the food is awesome and you can tell that the GM Zee takes pride in all aspects of this wonderful spot.
Today I had to take a half day from work and had the opportunity to come in early for lunch. I also must disclose I have extensive hospitality management experience, and that I’m not an entitled human being.
I saw something today that should be on everyone’s DON’T EVER DO THIS list.
I can’t help but pay attention to what’s going on around me. I was at the bar when I noticed a scene starting. 2 women and a child were dining with one of the best servers I’d ever had. Apparently their order was running behind. The server was on top of it and got Zee (The GM) involved. They had ordered an item that takes a long time to cook and an app that should’ve come out faster than it did. Both Zee and the server apologized and offered other items while they waited.
Here’s the WTH Karen part. This woman jumped up and chased the GM down to tell him he was rude. I’m sorry, offering to help is not rude. The man has a game face because he cares. Her entitled self got up and yelled at him in public. I’m embarrassed for her and how our society is devolving. Don’t be a Karen.“

“My wife, my sister, and I had a wonderful meal at the Bartram Park First Watch restaurant restaurant! It was our “one day early” Valentine’s Day meal together. It was a five star meal and five star wait- staff! Without knowing that I was fumbling with my phone I mistakenly somehow posted review with no comments. It was definitely a five star meal from the friendly and hospitable welcome through the delicious meal and the flawless Service by the excellent waitress. If possible, please delete the mistaken three star review no comment review.“

“The salads and ranch is top tier ! The Philly cheese steak not so much it had tomato and lettuce on it. I’ve never seen a Philly cheese steak with tomatoes and lettuce. Also Philly cheese steak tasted like Taco Bell which is very different.“

“Always friendly service and delicious food at the Amelia Island location!“
