“Great!!“

“First time here and was very very pleased. Amber V. Was a great waitress who ensured my whole table was covered and answered any questions. The rest of the staff was great and polite. Even when my 2yr old was doing his thing they were not rude like other places. Def going to come back at a later date.“

“The service is always very good! Madison is a very good server! I would recommend checking it out!“

“Went out to lunch with my friends that I hadn’t seen in a few months to catch up! Our waitress, Sam, was incredible! She was funny, silly, and very attentive! She went above and beyond when my friend accidentally dropped her used fork on her white shirt and we were able to save it from being stained! Thank you, Sam, for making this lunch such a memorable one! 💖“

“1st try at this pick-up thing. Using the ap was easier than expected. We had to get home but had hankering for a good reasonably priced steak. Chili's is the only place in this area. Everywhere else is $$$. We live in a condo. So we can't grill our own. This was a perfect option. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. And we got free chips and salsa on top of it all.“

“Fantastic burgers, friendly staff, and very clean. The best freshly made milk shakes!“

“Great place to work as well“

“Great service and food. Fun atmosphere. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Tuna tacos and shrimp box were awesome.“

“I've never had a bad meal here... The Wednesday special sandwich, fried green tomato BLT is amazing. The staff has always been polite and helpful. The overall vibe of the resturant is laid back and comfortable.“

“Great food and an upbeat, relaxed, laid back atmosphere was made even better today by Caleb, who was not only a great server, but also so nice to be with. Thanks, River Walk.. and a special thank you to Caleb!! The three of us will keep coming back!! : ) 😊🐕“

“If you haven’t made your way to Kitchen 251 on Amelia Island yet, stop what you’re doing and fix that immediately. William and I had the pleasure of dining at Chef Michael’s newly relocated restaurant in Fernandina Beach, and from the moment we walked in, we knew this wasn’t going to be just another night out—it was an experience. The entire staff is simply outstanding. Not just attentive, but genuinely welcoming in a way that sets the tone from the start and carries through the entire evening. You can feel the pride in the room. Now let’s talk about the food… because this is where Chef Michael truly works his magic. Chef Michael has placed his Midas touch across a thoughtfully crafted menu of well-developed, absolutely delicious dishes that can satisfy even the most selective palate. The seafood? Exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and prepared with a level of care that reminds you why this area was once considered the seafood capital of the Southeast. And for those who prefer more traditional fare, the options are just as impressive—something that has been surprisingly hard to find done this well in our area until now. Every dish we experienced was over-the-top delicious, with generous portions that don’t sacrifice quality for quantity (a rare balance these days). You leave satisfied—but already thinking about what you’ll order next time. Kitchen 251 isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a much-needed revival of what dining on Amelia Island should feel like. We’ll absolutely be back… probably sooner than we should admit.“

“Good service and a beautiful scenery. Very enjoyable“

“Love this bar! Jess and Becca are the best. Quick service. Cold beer. Great atmosphere. My favorite spot!“

“Stopped by this Waffle House heading to a cruise and was immediately greeted by an amazing server named Kat/Cat. She was pleasant, friendly and extremely inviting. Her personality was everything. She constantly checked on us and was so charismatic. The food was actually perfect. Everything was right on time and this experience made our day. Perfect way to start a vacation. I frequent Waffle House in Dallas and this visit to #71 in Jacksonville Fl near the airport was by far the best, thanks to Kat/Cat! If you are ever in Jacksonville Fl be sure to stop by and ask for Kat/Cat, it will be worth it. Thanks Kat/Cat!!“

“Server was amazing. Can’t remember her name, but she mentioned she was a teacher. Had amazing energy and was super helpful and it seemed she was running the whole front of house solo.“
