Biggie's Pizza - Jacksonville Beach

★★★★☆ 4.4 (639) • $

"This pizza is absolutely delicious. The place is super cool and the guy behind the counter is even cooler. It's clear I think that he owns the place because he certainly cared a lot about how people enjoy the food and the environment. I heard this place was awesome and it did not disappoint"

Mambos Cuban Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.2 (564) • $$

Grilled Cheese Gallery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (445) • $$

"Overall a great little lunch! Hubby had the loaded steak grilled cheese and loved it! I had the queen Brie and it was absolutely divine. We really liked the small cozy feel of this place -- it reminded us of restaurants in the Baltimore area which we miss terribly. Service was great especially with such a small staff."

Fast Eddy's Quick Mideast

★★★★★ 4.8 (369) • $$

"The people are friendly as can be the ambience is rock 'n' roll posters and the food is fantastic. Service is on point. Love this place love the people."

St. Augustine Seafood Company

★★★★☆ 4 (495) • $$

"Visited on Aug 8th. The place looks like Long John Silvers but the food is far better and premises much cleaner. Wasn't expecting much but the quality and taste of all our food was superb! Wife and I had the shrimp nachos plus the grilled fresh fish basket. Great taste and excellent fries! Cilantro lime slaw had a light dressing, wonderful. Also must add that this is the only place where the cashier automatically set the tip to 0% on the pay screen. I tipped them in cash anyway for their service and friendly demeanor. After a table of people left, employees would immediately begin cleaning. Nice!A very pleasant visit!"

Off The Hook Raw Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (460) • $$

"Highly highly highly recommend this place! Service is top notch, great drink selection , awesome oysters!! A tad small BUT very fresh and clean Virginia oysters. Didn't hit one of the oyster special nights do they are $2 a pop. We also got the calamari and the crab and shrimp dip. That is awesome!!! Very good amount of fries for the price too! I see another night or two eating here during our week vacation."

Sub Cultured

★★★★★ 4.6 (320) • $$

"Oh my GOD you have to try these sandwiches! The energy drinks and chips selection are perfectly complimentary to every sandwich. My personal favorite is the Philly. Daniel, the owner, is an amazing person and you can tell his staff loves to be there. It's like "The Bear" IRL.You can always count on good vibes & music blasting when you pull up!!They offer a military discount on Tuesdays too :)"

1928 Cuban Bistro - Baymeadows

★★★★☆ 4.4 (329) • $$

"I was really excited to try out this place for a Cuban breakfast, but overall, it was just okay, left a bit to be desired. The food was on the dry side, especially the eggs and the bread, which really needed a bit more moisture or seasoning to stand out. The portion size was decent, and the presentation was nice, but I found myself wishing for a bit more flavor.Service was friendly and prompt, but unfortunately, the meal didn't quite hit the mark for me. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but I was expecting a bit more from a Cuban breakfast.Lastly, there was a Yelp check in promo where you get a free pastry with $15 spent. The lady told me they couldn't honor because I have to spend $15 or more. lol. Ok. I attached my receipt."

Arepa Please

★★★★★ 4.5 (297) • $$

"Never had an Arepa before visiting, but from now on this will be what I compare every other one to. Firstly, the inside of this business is so cute!! The interior has such a positive and uplifting feel. Smiles all around as soon as you walk in. You can just tell it's going to be good before you even order. I have come here three days in a row now just so I can try every one. Flavor is a 10, freshness is a 10 and services was a 10! There's nothing I can really say would be a con so far and I plan on visiting again next time I'm in town. The staff here is super helpful and the arepas are addictive!! If you haven't tried it, don't take my word for it. You'll see for yourself after first bite. I could swim in that green sauce!!"

Chowder Ted's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (308) • $$

"FREE BEER TOMORROW!!!...and very delicious seafood served by friendly, cheerful staff in a fun local restaurant with a down-home country ambiance. Located on the St. Johns River across from the north side of Blount Island Marine Terminal, Chowder Ted's is a short, pleasant drive away from the traffic of Jacksonville. The first thing we noticed while waiting to be seated was how big all the servings are. We began with a pot to share of their namesake's chowder, and it lived up to it's name. (I'm glad it did because my name is Ted, too.) The chowder is in a spicy broth with big chunks of potato, clams, and tomato, and it's so good that next time I'm getting my own pot of it as a meal - yummy! There's a wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches, and entrees, including big cheeseburgers in case you came to a chowder house but don't like seafood.(WTF?) We settled on the fried flounder sandwich, which was delivered with a side of very tasty, freshly made coleslaw. The sandwich was piled high with 3 filets of perfectly fried, golden brown fish, so large it was hanging over the edges of the large bun. It was dressed with lettuce, tomato, and a very tasty sauce on the bun.The servers are so friendly, and the vibe inside is like a neighborhood restaurant full of regulars. Get over to Chowder Ted's right now!! They are open Tuesday through Saturday. You will be glad you came."

The Mossfire Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (360) • $$

"Came in for lunch on Wednesday and our waitress was spectacular, personality was the best. Asked for a personal vodka cranberry type drink, perfect!Had the blackened tuna tacos and they were superb. I have never had a bad experience at Mossfire. Best Mexican restaurant in 5 points"

Athenian Owl

★★★★★ 4.5 (273) • $$

"I am not sure where to begin this review as there is so much to cover and five (5) stars is not nearly enough!!!First, when you walk into the reception area of this mother-son owned establishment, it's a very cozy home like feel! The family pictures and wing back chairs makes you feel you are where you are supposed to be The service, can sum that up in one word - WOW!!! I was created by a gentleman who was the co- owner - friendly and great humor quickly sat me to my seat. I was taken away by the lighting of this place - such a warm atmosphere!!! Our server, Kairo was beyond outstanding. I loved her approach of asking you to pronounce the name of the meal you are ordering, fully amercing you into the culture. Her positive attitude, smile, and knowledge of the menu is beyond reproach! The food - again one word WOW! The soup was great but the chicken was phenomenal!! Just look at my clean plate. This is my new favorite place for sure!!!"

Townies Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.1 (328) • $$

"Recently visited Townies for some great pizza and they did not disappoint. Townies has a thin crust pizza and we ordered a large so we could take some home. Let's just say there was not much left to bring home. One large pepperoni pizza sitting outside on the patio during a nice evening-perfect.Make sure when you visit that you have a photo op in the big chair and take a look at the beautiful garden that a Townies has put by the picnic benches.It's Cleo approved!"

Q-Cup Boba Tea

★★★★★ 4.5 (260) • $

"Q-Cup is interesting. To sum it up, great food trumps everything else. This was my first time, let me tell you how it works so you don't stand there like an idiot like me. When you arrive, just sit down. They will bring you a menu. When you're done, go to the counter and pay (they don't bring your receipt). Order the combination pho. Broth was deep. Great variation of meat and the quantity is abundant. The tendon was cooked perfectly, probably the best I've had. Springs rolls were good. Boba tea was good. Overall a great pho spot in Jax. If an Asian restaurant isn't full of Asians, it's probably not good. This place slaps."

Crispy's Springfield Gallery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (284) • $$

"Stumbled onto Crispy's by accident and loved the look and layout of the place. We came back the next day for some food and drinks midday on a Saturday.Place was quiet when we arrived, but definitely ramping up as we left. You can see this is a well established place for both locals and new comers.All the food we had came out well, especially the Laura Pizza. Drinks were on point and service was timely. Only tip I would suggest, keep the music going on a good volume level to keep the atmosphere. Otherwise, well done!!"

Bagels R US

★★★★☆ 4 (321) • $

"First time trying Bagels R US and it was great! The staff was super kind and helpful as we navigated the extensive menu. While I initially went in with a craving for a bagel I was distracted by a sign that said they had french toast (and I couldn't resist the urge) especially after the young lady at the register confirmed that it was good - and she was right! I honestly wasn't expecting a place that specializes in bagels to serve up a really good french toast but I was proven wrong. It was soooo good and the portions were huge! The french toast also came with your choice of a side of hash browns or home fries. I chose the home fries and added cheese on top (although I wouldn't do that again since the cheese on top was placed sparingly and didn't melt all the way. I think they used sliced cheese instead of shredded and I think they should definitely use shredded moving forward) but the potatoes were seasoned so that helped save it.My friend got the steak and egg bagel and I tried the creme cheese she picked and I can't remember the exact flavor but it was a garlic base and was super good! Everything was great and I will definitely be back - but earlier this time as they were sold out of some of my go-to bagels."

Jax Bread

★★★★☆ 4.4 (240) • $$

"Maybe I'm missing out because I didn't try the sandwiches or the pizza. We just stopped in to see if we could find a local spot for bread that beats out the disappointment that Panera has become. For what we got, take-out loaves, it really wasn't that impressive. For about the same price, I can get better at a Publix bakery, with far better variety at the grocery store. I do realize most of the goods at Publix are shipped in frozen from a central location, and it's not truly local or artisinal.Mind you - I really do want to find a good mom-and-pop bakery that isn't all cup cakes and desserts. I want the quaint underdog to beat the big businesses that have squashed them. So I probably will give them another chance. And I'll update you when I do."

ABBQ Meat & Drink

★★★★☆ 3.9 (290) • $$

"Been driving by for awhile now and finally decided to stop by. We were sat quickly and our server Asia came soon after seating to take drink orders. She was very helpful when asking questions about items on the menu. My daughter got the pulled pork sandwich and my boyfriend aand I shared the Texas trinity platter. Delicious all the way around. If he was hotter we would have sat outside but the inside dinner area was nice as well. My daughter loved the hair spray and sewing kit in the ladies room lol."

Bite a Bagel

★★★★☆ 4.3 (237) • $

"For some odd reason, I have never once visited this shop since I moved around this area in 2005 til this day. My manager was amazed and told me to try it this weekend. And so, I did. Lol.Came here with my sister and the shop was quite busy, but not hectic. Opened the door and smelled the great fresh coffee and bagels. Nice and cute decor and the staff were friendly. We ordered:- Everything bagel w/Lox Spread- 1/2 dozen bagels (blueberry, 2 asiagos, 2 wheats and a garlic) The lox spread was amazing and I love savory tastes. Based on their website, lox is raw sugar cured smoked salmon. This cream cheese spread was also mixed with capers, scallops and a hint of lemon. The family enjoyed the bagels as well. I recommend this place and would love to revisit again and try their hot bagel menu and coffee."

Burger Barn Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (221) • $$

"This is a great place to get a burger! I really like that you can customize the burger exactly like you want. And, the fries are great, too. I would definitely recommend."

Sunday

★★★★☆ 4.4 (219) • $$

"Wife and I had no plans on stopping here but were drawn in by the great looking patio and ambience . We ordered Shackshuka and I had the eggs Benedict with pulled pork . The food was fantastic! Delicious to the last bite . Eggs on the Benedict were cooked perfectly and the pork was tasty . Will definitely come again when in St Augustine. Also the French press coffee was rich and dark . Fantastic ! Kat was our server and she was so attentive and gave great service ."

Flaco's Cuban Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (271) • $

"Very good sandwiches if you like meat. My favorite is one called the Scarface (if they still have it) . Great place to go after a night at the clubs. Only complaint is that they got rid of the Ciders :("

Sun Deli

★★★★★ 4.5 (186) • $

"As a self-proclaimed soup girl, Sun Deli is basically my dream come true! They had five soups of the day when I visited on a Saturday, and I went with the creamy cauliflower--it did not disappoint. The egg salad was simple, classic, and satisfying, and my partner's MCD Rob was absolutely phenomenal. This is the kind of classic deli that nails both the food and the service. Can't wait to come back and try more soups (and sandwiches)!"

Beach Belly Bobs Sandwich Shop

★★★★★ 4.7 (167) • $

"The ambience is warm and inviting. The customer service was warm and welcoming.I had a shrimp Po'Boy.The shrimp were well seasoned, plentiful and cooked perfectly.Just the right amount of lettuce and Provolone Cheese.The side order of Pasta Salad was cold and tasty.The Lemonade was good. All this for $ 14.50!I'll definitely be back for breakfast soon!"

East End Eatery

★★★★☆ 4 (214) • $$

"My daughter and I have a rule when traveling for her softball tourneys- never eat where we can at home. This is definitely one of those places. And oh what a gem we found. It's as comfy as eating at home, as good as a home cooked meal but with flare! We took three sandwiches to go for lunch at the field and I cannot wait to bite into them later.Blueberry waffle and French toast was crisp and flavorful!"

Leonardo's Pizza of Millhopper

★★★★☆ 4.1 (194) • $$

"Great deep dish pizza! Great service and also have great salad bar! Don't miss out. You will definitely add this to your rotation."

The Happy Grilled Cheese

★★★★☆ 4.2 (182) • $

"Y'all. The Happy Grilled Cheese is a BLESSING. I was emotionally moved when I took my first bite of this sandwich, it tasted that good. I don't have words to describe how good it was, you just need to go try it. Now! The atmosphere is lovely, everyone is greeted warmly and you can tell there are numerous regulars. Warm, inviting, DELICIOUS and speedy service even as they got busier and busier are the top ways I'd describe my experience and observations.Also, I'm so grateful when businesses take the time to keep something simple like gluten free bread around because it's the difference in my being able to eat there or not. I usually order the Uncle Vinny's Melt on GF bread with a dip size tomato soup and garlic Parmesan fries. I also tried one of the specials, the spinach artichoke melt. It was equally amazing.A few notes on gluten free: there is risk of cross contamination, check about the soup to see if it was made with a roux that day or not and I think the fryer is shared. Those more sensitive than me may want to exercise more caution."

Bakery Mill & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (170) • $

"This place is amazing. The food is unbelievable and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. The seating is small but worth the wait. Remember to get some muffins when you are done with Breakfast!! They are the best in town!!!"

Blue Boy Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 4.2 (165) • $$

"OMG these sandwiches are off the chain big and delish. I ordered the chicken salad round with lettuce tomato and whatever else they put on it. Good gosh was it huge and delicious. There is a wall of fame for all the big boys that have eaten their weight in subs and burgers. The seating area is adequate for sitting down and pigging on your behemoth meal. If you get a round and have a friend, think about getting one and spitting it, unless you're saving it for dinner. Service was amazing with the ladies up front having this whole ordering and feeding hungry folks down to a science. I came during a past lunch time hour, so I would advise to call your order in if you're ordering for lunch because I can only imagine this place is slammed. Definitely needs more than 5 stars"

San Diego Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (172) • $$

"Hidden gem! The staff, especially the owner, friendly and give great service! The food is delicious at a VERY reasonable price. Outdoor seating and they love dogs!"

Mcflamingo

★★★★☆ 4.4 (149) • $$

"A fast casual restaurant with no prices on the menu on the register or chalk board? Wallet got unexpectedly wrecked for 2 people to have lunch without any alcohol. Food was decent, seems fresh, portions on the smaller side (like snack when you get home) and do not come with a side. For the current price point I personally can't justify going back in these economic times. Panera across the parking lot has salads for half the price. It's a salad assembled by a teenager, not a Delmonico steak..."

Jimmy Hula's

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (227) • $$

"First visit here and definitely not the last. We were greeted with smiling happy faces. The restaurant felt like we were at the beach. The food came out quickly. The Zion Bowl was amazing. Perfect mix of heat and sweet. Cajun fries were pretty good too. Can't wait to go back and try some tacos."

South-A-Philly

★★★★☆ 3.8 (173) • $

"In St. Augustine for the Thanksgiving holiday and I was delighted to see a Philly themed restaurant. Saw the menu and after noting the sides are referred to as "Side Jawns", I knew this would be the place to cure my cravings for authentic Philly food. Having grown up outside Philly, there are certain dishes that are almost impossible to find in other states. This restaurant delivers that authentic taste. My husband got a cheesesteak and I got the Italian salad which was so good. I took advantage of the "recommended dessert" on the DoorDash menu and got a great walk down memory lane. Good food. Cool place. We will be back!"

Round Bird Coffee

★★★★★ 4.6 (118) • $$

"We love discovering new local coffee shops and Round Bird was such a nice find. WHO KNEW that Butter Pecan and Lavender went together so well?? I tried that latte because of them and now I'm obsessed. The inside is dope, really cool hanging lights and the kind of coffeeshop vibe you look for. There was a decent amount of people there at the time, but that didn't stop anything from getting us our lattes quick. It's a little far from us, otherwise we would be visiting much more often!"

Big Mill's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (122) • $$

"This is definitely always a stop when I'm in Gainesville!!! I have been known to grab two so I can have one for lunch and one for dinner because the Philly cheesesteaks are that good!!!"
