The Happy Tomato Cafe & Bbq

Totally awesome place! Great BBQ and cookies! You feel like you're in Europe when you eat in the outdoor dining area.

I had a better experience than my spouse/friend...Still her somewhat dry and flavorless chicken was better than my pulled pork meal. The beans were good. The slaw was different and tasty. The sauce was limited (they should let you sample and mix - not just a sweet, spicy, "or" mustard). Price was reasonable. Portions sizes decent.

This is off a side street in historic downtown and then you walk back behind the buildings past a few decks with tables. Inside you order at the counter. 3 small tables inside. I had the 1/4 BBQ chicken with potato salad and baked beans. The beans were good but we saw big cans of Bush's so....Potato salad was decent. Chicken was dry. I ate about 3 bites.

Stopped in for lunch. Coming in off 3rd street, you walk through the courtyard and up a few steps to get to the upper patio and entrance. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they have a number of menus posted to make sure you know your options. I got the smoked turkey sandwich and my wife got the pulled pork. I got the spicy sauce and she got the sweet. Everything was excellent! The sandwiches were in bakery buns and overflowed the sandwiches. The spicy sauce had a good kick too. Sandwiches come with a handful of dill slices and a bag of chips-it was plenty of food for both of us. Dog-friendly patio and lots of outdoor seating and a couple of small tables inside. Some beer and wine available as well. Very tasty lunch-give them a try!

Great service and nice outdoor eating area. Dogs are welcome!The meats are generally good. However, I didn't like the ribs, I needed to tear the meat off with my teeth and it was not easy. They have a limited choice of sauces, none of which were all that good. The spicy sauce tasted like doctored up Franks (I confirmed that it is Frank's) . If I were to return, I'd bring my own sauce.

Was staying for the weekend (6/14/24-6/16/24) at Hampton Inn District Harbor for my 2nd wedding anniversary. My husband and I wanted to try this sandwich spot and so glad we did. Our food was made fresh and service was great. We sat outside in their peaceful deck area soaking in the sun and scenery.

June 27, 2022Just having lunch and relaxing outside in the patio area. My husband loved his triple salad-chix, tuna and pimento. My club was so huge I could barely hold it...oh the sacrifice's we must do...lol!

Great little spot for lunch with dog friendly patio. Tuna salad sandwich with pasta salad that was quite good. Hubby had pulled pork sandwich and baked beans with enough to take home.

BBQ was good. Atmosphere was nice. Did not like that you had to order at the window. Probably won't be back.

Charming little restaurant with great outdoor seating. Delicious chicken salad, BBQ and pimento cheese. One of our favorite restaurants in Fernandina. Highly recommend!
