The Most Flavorful Soup in Jacksonville

Bowl of Pho

★★★★☆ 4.2 (778) • $$

"They must be doing something right for a very long time. We usually go once a week...for the 7.5 years of living in Florida. I can't have dairy and their food is excellent! My favorite is not pho but their delightful wonton soup with many vegetables like celery, snow peas and bok choy without noodles and the all shrimp spring rolls."

Blue Orchid Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (565) • $$

"First I'll say the service was excellent! The waitress was so attentive and dedicated to our large table. I truly appreciate the hospitality. The food was really tasty and good portions. I had enough to take home and have for lunch the next day. It was a little on the expensive side but totally worth it. I noticed they have a happy hour and I can't wait to try that! I did the Drunken Noodles and they were amazing! I also had a rose wine and they even let me sample it beforehand to make sure I liked it. It was a great experience."

The Local

★★★★☆ 3.9 (294) • $$

"I've never really eaten at the local, but I saw a picture of fried oysters on top of a Caesar salad and it just felt right. I took myself on a little solo lunch date, but unfortunately that option was no longer available on the menu. But... I had to have something along the lines of it, so I became creative. I ordered a blackened chicken, Caesar salad, and a side of delicious Parmesan garlic oysters. I then placed them on top of the salad & mixed it all up! Oh my my my...let me tell you... chef, skip the shell throw in some garlic butter Parmesan oysters on top of that salad and make it a menu option. It was so perfectly paired with the true homemade Caesar dressing and the perfect crunch from fresh croutons. My version unfortunately was on the expensive side. I could even eat this without the chicken and just oysters on top. This made my whole solo lunch date experience! Vic's Parmesan oyster Caesar salad. Try it. You will not be disappointed! A fun local spot located in the heart of Atlantic beach with a relaxed ambience, full bar, and live music on the weekends! Enjoy!"

Blue Orchid Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (248) • $$

"Nice interior and decor. But their outside patio is where it's at. Just make sure you pick the right day and time to eat outside or the Florida heat will toast you. The wife and I got lucky coming here on a busy day and fortunate enough to be seated right away outside. The nice outside breeze felt nice while we ate really set the tone for an enjoyable chow time. Food Impressions:- Definitely try their NEW Starter items. The Roti with Panang Curry (5/5) as well as The Son-In-Law Eggs (5/5) were delicious.- Phad Thai w/ chicken (3/5): As much as I have had Phad Thais, this did not hit the thumbs up for me. It lacked flavor in comparison to most Phad Thai I've had - Ginger Stir Fry w/ sliced chicken (5/5): Tasted nice and fresh. I would order this again and again- Panang Curry (5/5): I opted for Heat 3 and it was made to perfection. It was delicious and I ate every bit of what was served. - Thai Fried Rice (4/5): It was good, but not great enough to wow my palate.Menu/Pricing (3/5): It's abit on the pricier side in terms of regular menu items. Additionally expect to pay more when you start opting to add "Premium Protein items" such as Beef, Shrimp or Scallops. For example, Blue Orchid's Phad Thai starts at $20 with standard protein of choice. But if you opted to add Scallops per say (a Premium Protein), it'll cost an additional $14. Your $20 Phad Thai is now $34. Ask for Devon. 5 STAR service. We have had the pleasure being served by Devon each time we came here to eat. He was great and very attentive.Bonus note...Blue Orchid Thai Cuisine sits just steps away from Memorial Park, which makes it a great post-eats place to burn off some calories."

Taste Of Thai

★★★★★ 4.5 (161) • $$

"This is my to go place when I want some quick Thai food! Service is always fast and the food is always hot and tasty! Our favorites are the fried tofu, steamed dumplings and pad Thai. Their Thai tea with milk is delicious not too sweet and not too bitter. Definitely a must try!!"

Claras Tidbits Restaurant & Catering

★★★★☆ 4.4 (122) • $

"Surprisingly this was my first Tidbits experience. Id heard mixed things but then after hearing rave reviews about the famous potato salad, I had to try it for myself. Let me tell you that potato salad is famous for a reason. It's so creamy with a hint of mustard and will leave you craving more!The new location is right near the original and it's huge inside. Plenty of seating even during the busy lunch time."

Ship 2 Shore Seafood & Steaks

★★★★☆ 3.9 (144) • $$

"Was traveling I-95 back to SC and just happened upon this place. I had been in the Florida Keys all week eating at great places on vaca. Didn't expect much since I was just trying to grab and go. Boy was I wrong. This place is a sleeper to say the least. The food was fresh"

"What an amazing find! My husband and I were traveling from Clearwater FL to CT for the holidays and googled locally owned restaurants near us, when we found this gem of a restaurant in a great location! We couldn't have been happier with the service given to us (Abby was our server) and we had the opportunity to speak with the owners Mother, Patty, who let us try your dill fries (yummmmm) Both of our meals were outstanding! My only personal preference would be a balsamic reduction on the Brussel sprouts (again, personal preference) ..they were still yummy ! My burger was cooked to perfection and the Super Rad Salad was a must try! The desserts ...just get them...ALL lolPs....kudos to both Patty and Abby for making my husband a cup of coffee to go knowing we have a long drive ahead of us! We will be back again soon!"

Sister's Place

★★★★★ 4.5 (73)

"While visiting area and I wanted to get a nice cooked meal. Sister place menu seemed to check mark everything I was feeling. We made it here for lunch and opted for their 1/2 pound burger, hand cut fries and hand battered onion rings. Everything came out perfectly and tasted great. Service was fast and everyone there was kind and helpful. We had to have some pie before heading to the Devils den. We decided on their apple cobbler warm with a scoop of ice cream. It was delicious. My daughter didn't stop talking about their cobbler and even brought it up the next day. We really enjoyed our visit and hope they get a larger space. There aren't allot of places that have fresh home cooked meals and this place is doing it right."

Lobstah On A Roll

★★★★☆ 3.8 (75) • $$

"We found this hidden gem on our recent trip to st Augustine! We actually had booked an air bnb above the restaurant without knowing it! Of course once we discovered we were above this restaurant, we had to try it out! I feel like not enough people know about this place! Incredible and fresh seafood items! And what they are known for--LOBSTAH on a roll! I did get one to go and tried it and it was amazing! While eating there, i got the lobster tacos (YUM!!) and fried oysters! Both delicious! The staff was very friendly and they were excited for it to be my first time! I will definitely be putting this on the agenda every time i go back to St Augustine!"

Siam Sushi & Thai

"YUMMY food and veryyyy hefty portions (great bang for your buck). When visiting my family we have at least one person requesting their pad see ew!"

Ciao Trattoria Italiana

★★★★☆ 4.4 (19)

"We we looking for a quiet spot last week since we had family in town. This is right around the corner from us and we were hesitant to try it because of the Comic Sans type lettering. It was almost hard to take it seriously. Honestly we were surprised at how good the food was. Didn't get the server's name, but she was the shorter brunette, she was great. Food was fast and delicious. Only suggestions: the comic sans really throws people off. Been talking to friends and neighbors and they're all hesitant to try it because of that. Also, the manager was up at the front counter scrolling through TikTok videos and hovering over tables. Thought it was weird when he could've been helping the staff out. We'd be back again"

Hot Wok

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (32) • $

"I have been going here since 2004. It is my go to for fast food Chinese. They are always consistent and the food is delicious. I usually order delivery but on occasion I will do a pick-up. It is your typical fast food Chinese, a table or two and your basic you call-we deliver. This is one of the better fast food Chinese places I have found. Good flavor. I love the chicken wings. I tend to order the same things but every once in a while I will add on something else. I have yet to be dissatisfied. Loyal customer here."
