“Food was soooo good! Forsure recommend & will be returning. Stevie was such a good waitress ❤️”
“Sometimes small talk can feed your soul—and your stomach. A few years ago, at my niece’s wedding, I struck up a conversation with a gentleman who mentioned he had opened a restaurant in Jacksonville, NC. Fast forward to today, I finally made it out to his place—Booby’s Kitchen—and let me tell you, the food wasn’t just good… it was shut-your-mouth-and-do-a-happy-dance good. Everything from the flavor to the portions hit the spot. You could taste the love and pride in every bite. If you’re anywhere near Jacksonville, do yourself a favor and stop by—you’ll thank me later. As for me, I’m officially stuffed and sliding straight into a well-deserved nap.”
“The food was delicious and service was great! We will definitely be back again 🙂”
“food is mid at best, but the personality made up for it!! not the best part of town so if your going to go pack some heat.. better spots but if your like me you will always give places a try even if they a lil run down.”

“This is an awesome place to eat, our waitress Jerry was great. The food was really good”
“Happened upon this awesome little dive bar to catch Nostalgic Knights, and what a great find! The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was exactly what you'd hope for in a neighborhood dive—welcoming, laid-back, and full of character. Great music, great people, and a fantastic time all around. We'll definitely be back!”

“100% recommend Havana 58 to anyone! My coffee is perfection every single time and the girls that work the mornings are always so nice and extremely hardworking, especially during the stressful rush hour mornings when we all are trying to get our coffee before starting our day. Love the whole environment!”
“The food and service at the Jacksonville location was AMAZING! The only issue we had was the music was so loud, I’m all for a fun atmosphere but shew at 5pm when I’m just trying to unwind after work was a little to much, this was my 1st time coming and I’m throughly impressed with the food and service like I said, but note to self don’t go to unwind on a Thursday at 5pm, because it’s night club level volume, instead do a go order”
“Great time at the Roadhouse in Jacksonville NC! Took my daughter there for Valentine's Day and had amazing service from Zee!! Thank you SO much for making our day even more special!!! 🥰🥰”
“I went in early in the day and was served very quickly with a smile and laughter. The waitress was very friendly, me and my brothers enjoyed our time very much. Food was served expeditiously and we all enjoyed our porterhouse steak!”
“I mostly don't do reviews but when I do, it deserves more than 5 stars. After my husband and I found this place, we go here alot. We love Kele, Ricky, and Jeanette (sure we will love the others once we meet them), they are amazing and so sweet. We love getting to talk to them when we come in. So many different drinks to try, can't get bored of the selections. If you don't know what drink you want, they will tell you ideas. Highly recommend!!”

“We visited Bubba 33's and the food was amazing. I got the traditional wings with hot sauce. I normally prefer my wings hotter, but these were delicious, and they did have a hotter option on the menu. The fried pickles were great and so was the spinach dip. The young lady serving us was friendly, professional, and checked on us often. The only issues were that we ordered a spinach dip, which comes with bread, and we didn't get our bread until we were getting ready to leave, despite asking about it 3 times. The atmosphere is great, but the music is definitely too loud to be able to speak to your server or to the people at your table, it could definitely come down a couple of notches. Overall, great experience, I would definitely recommend it and we will be back.”
“I was there today for the taco Tuesday special. The server we had could not get the order right and when we asked for some cheese dip he asked if we were being rude. this is the third time he has messed up my order. if I do dine there again I will ask for another server besides this one.”
“I just want to take some time to talk about the amazing service I received, thank you to Libby and Sarah for making my night/month. With a string of bad luck I have been experiencing. My truck broke down in the parking lot and these two beautiful ladies really brought me extreme happiness and a sense of peace for the first time in weeks. Thank you both so much you don’t realize how much I am grateful for the kindness you showed us.”
“I picked up my meal, so I didn't go inside. Although I have been inside many Olive Garden restaurants.
I may have been lucky, bit I ordered, drove their, and was immediately served my order curbside as I parked. Staff seems on top of it
Oh, and the meal was hot and delicious as usual.”
“Although people sent bad reviews in the past, that doesn't mean to immediately overlook the establishment. I just ordered food from here today and I am very satisfied with my order. The food was amazing.
The delivery time was very good especially considering the order was for a party of 8. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Just moved back to the area, so unpacking a house and to tired to cook. Saw this place on Piney Green the other day. Looked them up and saw their ratings ? I read through them and while their ratings were bad there was not a lot of reviews and a few were excellent. So we tried it despite the ratings. We were pleasantly surprised. I called and placed the order for pickup at 18:07. We ordered a pork egg roll, a shrimp egg roll, fried wontons, crab rangoon, steamed dumplings, sesame chicken (came with white rice), sweet and sour pork (came with white rice), pork fried rice, and chicken lo mein. We were hungry and wanted to try a bit of everything LOL. They said it would be about 20 minutes, and it was ready right on the dot! We tried everything but the fried rice, that is tomorrow's lunch ? We liked everything we ate! Was good and hot!! Definitely will get it again! The egg rolls were not our favorites, but that is about our taste (as my husband says, he doesn't like grassy egg rolls lol) - not the cooking. I will update again on our second go around. But we took a chance and were very happy we did!!”
“Tried today for the first time via DoorDash. Food arrived within a reasonable amount of time & high quality! I have a gluten allergy so I chose the rolls that were notated gluten free. I don’t think the soy sauce provided is GF so I used my own. Will definitely order from here again!”
“We decided to try Shogun Japanese Steakhouse on a Saturday evening and were glad we made a 5 PM reservation — the place was already packed at that hour. The restaurant offers both teppanyaki seating, where the chef cooks right in front of you, and traditional tables. We opted for teppanyaki, a bit skeptical at first since the chef really makes or breaks the experience.\n\nOur party of seven filled a table to ourselves, which was a plus. Both our server and chef were excellent, and the food was even better. We ordered a mix of steak, shrimp, lobster, and sashimi. The chef was personable without being over-the-top, and he cooked everything perfectly — the flavors were spot-on.\n\nWe came in with modest expectations but left on a food high. Great service, delicious food, and a fun night out with the family. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lively and flavorful dinner.”

“New station n super clean. Friendly staff.
Diesel was 4.03 a gallon...Thanks ..
**ONLY access to the station is narrow road with a curb in the middle..dumb, but probably needed. May be a little tricky with a trailer or long rig... Plus leaving the the station you must turn right. The curb in the road makes this difficult..at the next intersection, again small narrow roads**
**Thanks Wawa for having DIESEL available at ALL PUMPS.!!!!!!!!!**”
“This is most def one of the top 5 mcdonalds in size i have ever seen, but considering its location and traffic, i could see why they had to accommodate..not only for non stop drive thrue customers but a little steady flow of walk ins and the crew to handle the onslaught of continuous orders. Customer service is the best from my personal experiences, but also from my observation on how they handle the excessive drive-through orders very organized, they still keep their corporate standard of x amount of time per order. Very friendly, they also excersized suggestive selling techniques, which doesn't happen often... nothing like hearing the words "would you like fries with that?".. on point love it from a managers perspective. Food quality considering how fast they are moving is great quality of taste even better plus it seemed fresh and juicy always tastes better when its fresh off the grill as apposed to sitting in the heater trays that dries them out...this should be consistant at this location because they have to keep making more as the orders come barreling through. The atmosphere is flawless from the hassle and bustle of the employees to the lack of better words not hearing a single complaint from any customers abd I've been sitting here for a couple hours usually you will hear 3 to 4 so they make sure there orders are made to order. The design and architecture of this mcdonalds i really liked it alot very modern i couldn't resist taking a bunch of photos. Extra kudos for the prestine well kept restroom i hardly ever take photos of restrooms so when i past one... they take care of it and it looks good. The best mcdonalds ever through and through.”
“What can I say? I walked in and was on my way with my orders in less than ten minutes. Everything was hot and freshly served. The manager realized I was a frequent visitor with my grand children. It was really hot that day. One of my grands replied grandpa I'm thirsty. Just then out of kindness from the manager they all received complimentary apple juices. It made their sunny day brighter. Thanks McDonald's.”
“This place is awesome!!! From the time you walk through door everything is on point!!! The food here is fresh hot and delicious. I have been here several times and have tried the curry goat, curry shrimp and the chicken wings and everything was delicious!!! This place is a real gem!!!”
“Definitely small, if you like those hole in the wall bars that are super crampy this is your place. The parking is a bit of a pain, but if you're looking for a quick drink and not in the mood to be annoyed by a million people this is the place to go.”

“There’s only two places I’d recommend in jacksonville so far and this was absolutely incredible. We got the Kabob platter and it was plenty enough food for me my husband and our 15 month old who eats everything. They are very accommodating to children and the server we had was so sweet. I wish i remembered her name. She recommended the platter.”

“Metro Diner in Jville NC is everything you want for breakfast, brunch, lunch! Service 10/10 .. Katie was great today! Very polite, timed her service on point! Food 10/10 .. breakfast bowl and waffle with bacon were perfect! Delivered hot and wouldn't change a thing! We enjoy MD every time we visit Jville .. only problem is deciding what to select from their wonderful menu! Save room for dessert!! Mark, is the Manager every establishment wishes they had .. he is the reason MD is the best!!!”
“So I’ve had my eye on Blend as I drive by for a while now. Well a couple days ago I happen to be in town and I was craving hazelnut so I decided it was time to check them out. The main attraction for me was the opportunity to sit outside on the waterfront and enjoy a nice drink. I met the lady working the counter and told her I was craving hazelnut and thought I would like a frappe, she asked if I wanted cream and I wasn’t sure then she said yea you do and I said okay. She immediately made me feel welcome and she was very friendly. She made my drink and as I tasted it she was genuinely concerned whether I would like it or not. After a few seconds the flavor hit my mouth and it was fabulous, I loved it. And to top that off I went outside as I drank my frappe and enjoyed the waterfront. As I was leaving the lady at the counter asked me to please come again and I said absolutely. Great coffee, great environment and great experience what more could we ask for. Good job and thank you, I will be back.”
“Clean store. Hot and good food. Would give TEN STARS if I could.
I am having probably one of the worst days of my life. I come in to the Freddy’s at like 10:45pm, I had a pretty large order too.
The shining star of it all was this guy behind the counter with a beardnet on, he was awesome! I didn’t catch his name but he was polite, well spoken, and he even walked into the lobby to hand me my order! After taking my order, I asked him what time they closed, and he told me 11pm, but no one in the store rushed me or got short with me at all. You don’t see that often.
Beardnet guy needs a pat on the back for sure. Will be coming back!”
“1st time here and we were absolutely amazed at the portions and the how amazing the service was. we will definitely be back. the burger was amazing as was my hot dogs and the fries holy cow the portion was hige but they were also amazing. we followed up with milkshakes and wow is all i can say. if i could give them more than 5 stars I totally would. we will be back for auremb”
“Food was excellent…… If you like crab dip it’s not made with blue crab 🦀 meat so I have to rate it as a NO-NO, imitation crab meat should not be used in crab dip.. .. Over all everything was on Q, service was great and you don’t leave hungry…. Atmosphere and service with no wait time can’t ask for anything better ❤️”
“Quick and kind service, the food was excellent. I even got a roll of sushi that wasn’t what I liked, they offered to waive it for me but I declined. Very kind staff and great food”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Hands down one of the best spots in Jacksonville. The bartenders are top-tier—friendly, fast, and they actually know how to make a great drink. The drink selection is excellent, the drink deals are hard to beat, and the atmosphere is absolutely top notch. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or staying awhile, The Twin Raven Tavern always delivers a great experience. Highly recommended 🍻🖤”
“HOOO GUACAMOLE!!!! My first time here and let me tell you 10/10 RECOMMEND! 🤤 cookies n cream tres leches was so good, moist, and delicious!! Cookies are so soft, lemon bar… sooo delish!! One of the customer was like “you’ll be back”. Yess, definitely will ☺️ Staff or owners are so nice, welcoming, friendly and outgoing.”
“I came in for the National Bogo burger deal. I had an issue with the App & The manager Stephanie was very helpful, very eager & Professional in assisting me finalize my order.Food was fresh and on point & wait time was no minimal.
I would go back to this location again !!
Sincerely
Manny C.”

Cheap Eats
“Have to be honest, when you drive up to The Old Siam restaurant, it looks a bit rough, the outside of the building could use a serious facelift, with that said, the food is legit. The staff were friendly and sat us quickly. That night they did not have a wide drink selection, noting that the soda supplier had not stopped by and that the beer selection was very limited, no worries, we had water. The menu has a large selection of Thai traditional dishes. We went with the Shrimp Tom Kha Goong, the Pork Pad Krapow Gai and the Chicken Pad Krapow Gai. Everything was excellent and we were very satisfied with our meal.”
“From the day I walked into American Dream Cakes and sat down with the owner, I knew I was in good hands. I was in charge of a reunion that was bringing in over 400 people from across the country. I wanted something special and I wanted the best. Being someone who doesn’t know the first thing about ordering desserts for that many people I deferred to the owner’s expertise. Her knowledge of quantities, items that are best sellers in a situation like mine, and how to display and set it up were all handled by the team at American Dream Cakes. The dessert table was a complete success! My people are still raving about how delicious everything was. There were no leftovers! What people didn’t eat, they took home for later. I have one person still craving their cream puffs! Gunilla, I can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make the dessert table at our reunion one that will be remembered for years to come! Can’t wait until 2030 for our next reunion. You can be sure that American Dream Cakes will be handling our dessert table once again.”
“They were out and out slammed this afternoon. More people than I have ever seen in such a small space with a multitude of door dashers waiting as well. Servers were polite, quick and accurate! Got everyone out in record time with the correct items. Just 100% - wicked impressive”
“Me and my wife got great service here, both drinks were very tasty and healthy. Tons of options and a very large menu. Also very generous price for what you’re getting. The person prepping the smoothies was also very friendly and diligent about making sure you get what you want! Awesome!”
“I picked up a meat lovers pizza yesterday. The pizza was so fresh and delicious. I wish there was a Godfathers Pizza near grand prairie. Our pizza was the best pizza I have had in a long time. Nice staff and clean dining area. Now we wish I had bought 2 pizzas.”
“I had a late lunch (3 pm) in tables near the bar: An Adobe burger, which is a large beef patty with jalapeño cream cheese. It comes with tater tots or, what I got, a huge pile of french fries. The friendly bartender told me this is people's favorite. It was definitely a whole day's worth of calories!\n\nThis place is in the middle of nowhere, but worth a visit if only because it's unique. You'll see mothballed planes from the airfield on your way.”
“We do takeout once a week at my job . We tend to order from Jersey Mike’s quite often. Our orders range from 15 to 20 plus. The 3494 Western Blvd location
Suite 120 has provided impeccable service and food.We have ordered from this location a little over a year. Everything is always ready and accurate. They are extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you to the management and staff, we appreciate you.”
“Only reason I’m giving a 5 star is because of the great customer service from the lightskin manager with the braids that was working tonight (she was very polite and understanding even gave us extra wings!) However, the workers that works the to go/curbside pickup tonight completely ignored my husband the first time he went in there to see when the food would be done and weren’t very friendly. We waited for our food for an hour and still hadn’t gotten any response on when it would be done (they supposedly never even dropped the wings) until my husband asked for the manager. We ordered bone in wings and ended up with boneless. Thank you to the manager though! She needs a raise.”
“Tried today for the first time via DoorDash. Food arrived within a reasonable amount of time & high quality! I have a gluten allergy so I chose the rolls that were notated gluten free. I don’t think the soy sauce provided is GF so I used my own. Will definitely order from here again!”
Latest Reviews
“I was a faithful Shoguns customer until the food potions shrank and quality dropped. This is my first time ordering from here. The spring rolls are amazing, the curry chicken is perfect! The general Tao’s is perfect, the shrimp lo mein is perfect, and the pu pu platter for 2 is perfect! The serving size is exceptional!! The only thing I didn’t love was the pork fried rice, it’s not bad it’s just not as amazing as everything else. I can’t wait until we order again, I have so many different things I want to try. The price is great and serving sizes were larger than I was expecting! I rarely leave feedback but wanted to make sure I did for this!”

“I placed a to-go order on the app and apparently ordered it twice. My server, Corinthia was very observant and brought it to my attention immediately.

“Kolden was the absolute best. Last night me and my friends came in (a group of 5) and all ordered on one tab. Kolden was the one helping us at the register and he was very fun, patient, and accommodating. After we had ordered everything and he was reviewing our order, my friend wanted to swap out her food. Kolden did not problem and asked everyone if they were good. Then when our food was ready he had brought it all out, we were having trouble pin pointing who’s food was who’s and where some was, and Kolden stayed and helped us until we had figured it all out.”
“Today is my daughter’s 9th birthday, and like many birthday moms I started my day rather stressed out. I also had a really bad day yesterday, so when I tell you the staff at this ihop has the absolute best energy I need you to know I mean it from the bottom of my heart. It started off with placing my order with Ms.Neveah, who was the sweetest person to talk to first thing in the morning. Everyone was so polite, and sweet and accommodating even though it was only a pickup order. You can tell they are just nice people who do a great job. The food was amazing but honestly even if it wasn’t I would have left 5 stars on service alone.”

“I love the food as always and the bartender Jessie is the absolute best!!!! I am not one to complain though but while she was busy the manager Jordan “dropped” our food off….more like tossed our food at us with no eye contact and didn’t even ask if we need anything extra which we needed plates and napkins which we had to ask another server who was super helpful as well! The manager on top of everything IN FRONT OF US cursed in front of us being snarky to nearby servers who we were actively talking to (them making connections with customers as they should be!) he says something along the lines of “I’ve been calling for runners while yall have been bullshitting around out here”!
All and all service and food is great but the manager lacks some professionalism….”

“First time coming here, what a great spot. Love the vibe as you walk in the door, very inviting and greeted with a smile. I will be coming back here frequently!! I had a monte cristo and a mango smoothie, sooooo good. If you haven’t came and seen this place it is a MUST!”
“Food is fantastic. I usually take pictures but it smelled too good to wait, and it tasted better than it smelled. 10 stars out of 5 on the food. Will make it a point to eat here over 90% of places in J-Ville. Only negative was that we ordered 3 drinks and they tried giving us only 1, but they fixed it quickly and had a good attitude about it. Well ran place.”
“We had Alena as our server today and had such a wonderful experience. She was incredible! This was so good for a family outing but I have an eye on it for my next date night too! We love supporting local businesses. 10/10 my new go-to for authentic Mexican with a twist. Thank you so much Alena🍴💛”
“I always go here for breakfast, it's simple fast and delicious. With plenty of options for diets and customization. If you need a recommendation for a drink, get a caramel ribbon crunch but ask for chai instead of coffee. Super delish and doesn't give you the bubble guts like coffee does.”
“I’ve been to Raising Cane’s twice and had good experiences both times. The food comes out very quickly and is always hot and fresh. The chicken is usually tender, although a few pieces had some chewy or fatty bits. The breading is crispy but doesn’t have much flavor, and the crinkle-cut fries are good but could use more seasoning and crispiness.
The Cane’s sauce is very good, but honestly, I think it’s a little overhyped. Overall, it’s good, fast food, but with Chick-fil-A, Guthrie’s, and Slim Chickens nearby, I’d probably choose those first. Still a solid 4/5, just not quite worth all the hype.”
“Cinnabon is an amazing place to enjoy a delicious sweet treat and satisfy any cinnamon roll craving. From the moment you walk in, the incredible smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls creates an experience that is hard to beat.
The cinnamon rolls are absolutely delicious, with soft, warm dough, rich cinnamon flavor, and the perfect amount of creamy frosting. The quality and freshness of the treats are what make Cinnabon stand out from other dessert options.
The staff is friendly, welcoming, and works hard to provide great customer service. They help make each visit enjoyable, whether you are stopping by for a quick treat or sharing something special with family and friends.
The atmosphere is inviting, and the combination of amazing flavors, fresh baked goods, and friendly service makes every visit memorable.
Overall, Cinnabon is an easy five star recommendation. Incredible cinnamon rolls, great service, and a delicious experience make it one of the best places for anyone with a sweet tooth.”
“Just plain great food! Even the hush puppies, which I am normally not a fan of, are amazing here.”
