    Interior decor
    David A.

    Recently discovered another great place to dine when visiting Jax Beach. AB Kitchen is located just blocks from the beach and right in the middle of great shopping and dining options. The interior is extremely clean, almost industrial decor and lighting with accents of palm trees. Our server was extremely attentive and did a great job. We were there for lunch and used that menu so it was somewhat casual fare but they do a really great job of elevating these basics. My quesadilla was braised beef and it was excellent. Just amazing texture and taste. My wife had the Avacado bacon lettuce and tomato. She raved about it. The Beachside sour was also excellent. Refreshing, light the perfect summer drink. This area of the beaches has a ton of great places to eat. Make sure you make AB Kitchen one of them.

    AB Kitchen had great service and yummy food This cute spot sits right in the heart of the Neptune Beach town center and I'm surprised how long it took me to try! We started with some wine flights and it was so fun to get to taste their offerings. The Brussel sprouts were AMAZING and I don't even like Brussel sprouts. I'd probably skip out on the steak next time and try the seafood instead as it was a bit underwhelming. Overall, will be coming back again!

    I can't believe I had never heard of this place. It is intimate but didn't feel too crowded but it was definitely busy, make a reservation! The Brussel sprouts were soo good, they have goat cheese and a Korean chili sauce and we cleared the plate. The grilled salmon was perfection and the Caesar salad was the best I have tried in a long time. My friend ordered the snow crab fried rice with an egg on top and she raved about it. Definitely a must try!

    Cute location, but way too loud. It was hard to hear each other. Steak was overcooked.

    I came here for happy hour with one of my girlfriends and I was excited to try the spot and Neptune Beach. They have a really unique menu with small plates and savory entrées. They also have a nice drink selection and my waiter was so so friendly. The ambience in there is lovely and I like that. It's not too dark... This is a wonderful spot for happy hour and I'll be sure to go back and try a proper dinner!

    A friend recommended this spot after one of our walks, mentioning it was a bit on the pricey side but the flavor would be worth it. She was absolutely right. I ordered the New Zealand lamb chops with broccolini, couscous, and a creamy yogurt sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Every bite was balanced and full of rich, bold flavor. My friend went with the soup and salad, and that soup? Packed with flavor and so comforting and delicious. From start to finish, the service was excellent. The hostess and our waiter were incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Our waiter took the time to explain each dish in thoughtful detail, which made the experience feel even more special. The atmosphere was calm, contemporary, and inviting. The perfect place to unwind and enjoy a truly good meal. I'll definitely be back, next time, with my husband!

    Simple calmed vibe for a birthday lunch
    Patti C.

    Took my friend here for her birthday lunch. We opted to order a few items to share. The deviled eggs were light and flavorful but a bit too salty. Ahi tuna a bit over cooked and very small pieces but tasty accoutrement. We asked for some chips to go with it. The rice bowl was quite wet and not much crab but decent flavor. The cocktails were great!!

    Every time I come here, it's amazing. It's usually not crowded on Sundays around lunch time, even though both their brunch and lunch menus are available. The place looks really classy, but you still feel comfortable dressing casually for the beach. You can tell the food is made with a lot of heart as it's always more impressive than you could imagine. Depth of flavor done perfectly.

    My wife invited me out to a Sunday Beach day at One Ocean hotel. We had to begin our day with some Brunch. We took a walk and ran into AB kitchen, this place is a sleeper. I ordered me Spicy Margarita to start it off. Then I got the AB breakfast, it was great, the eggs were scrambled hard with cheese, the grits topped it off!! The service was great as well. I definitely will be coming back. 5 stars

    Restaurant is very stylish and open
    Lisa L.

    This is an absolutely charming spot that I found just by chance. We walked in early and it was empty and now it's absolutely packed. All three of the dishes we had were excellent and the atmosphere is great. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who's in the Jacksonville Beach area.

    Coleslaw as side to burger

    Awesome! Second time here and this time we tried the burger which my husband loved! More than good; it had some unique flare. And the mushroom flatbread was a complete lunch and terrific with fresh ingredients and toppings edge to edge.

    Visited AB Kitchen with my fiance on Valentine's Day and we are so mad we didn't visit sooner. Incredible dinner! They were totally prepared for V-Day and we didn't feel squished or rushed at all. Just a really great and special dinner. We shared the Tahini Caesar: romaine, lemon tahini dressing, garlic olive oil breadcrumbs to start and it was huge! Great and unique salad. I had the Seared Scallop Red Curry: steamed spinach, jasmine rice, cilantro, lime, peanuts for dinner and it was everything I hoped for and more. I ate the whole thing! It was sweet, spicy, salty, and fresh. I loved it! And for only $27 - a steal! Huge fresh scallops!! My fiance got the Chimichurri Steak: whipped potatoes, roasted seasonal vegetables and LOVED it. He said it reminded him of the Argentinian steak we would get back home in Pittsburgh at one of our favorite restaurants. 5 star dinner. The ambiance is very beachy and coastal. It is not snobby even though the food quality is above and beyond. Great service! We will be back!

    ABLT and Eggplant Humus. Delicious.

    Amazing bar to have a nice cigar or sip off Mayport Rd! The humidor is stocked with your favorites…read morefrom Cohiba to Arturo Fuente to Rocky Patel. The regulars are always here on the weekdays and there is always a bustling crowd on the weekends. The bartenders are all awesome! They'll make you feel welcome the moment you enter. The vibe is divey, but homey all in one...you'll have a good time here with a great whiskey and tap selection! They have live music going on now on Thursdays. Friday night is poker night. Bring your good luck charm to Island Girl Taproom. They have plenty of game machines from darts to gambling to golf simulator to good old fashioned pool. I cannot say enough about the bartender Chris who works hard behind the bar to make sure everyone's drink is full. He is one of the best bartender's I have ever met. Play some country music on the Touchtunes and you'll have an instant first name basis friend. He keeps everyone in line and having a good time!

They were there to watch the Jags game and I was there to hang out with friends plus provide moral support if needed. This was only our second time ever hanging out at an Island Girl, but we had a blast. The place is very big with everything you could need: darts and a lot of pool tables for everyone else along with Golden Tee Golf for us. They don't serve food (of course) but The Hanger Bay Cafe and Simply Tasty Thai are right in the same plaza, so you can have great food brought to you. The waitstaff was awesome, the people hanging out were cool and the place has a lot to do. So we're really happy we went. On a side note: Football is not my thing. At all. So I rarely ever watch a whole game. In short what I'm saying is; you're welcome for that Jags win. I'm guessing they knew it was a special occasion when I watch and played extra well

While at the bar the bartender was concerned of my dogs well being stating it was too Smoky and not an adequate place for a dog (mind you this establishment is for humans) besides the point of this place not being the cleanest that is my choice to stay or go. After I allowed a few people on the pool table next to my group to say hello I was asked to leave because the staff member did not believe he was a real service animal. Like I said I am wheelchair bound and this dog is solely trained to do item retrieval for me in tough to reach places. Such as if I drop something under my truck or rolls under an obstacle and I can not reach it myself. I travel for work quite frequently to places requiring all sorts of criteria and regulations and not one problem other than at this shit hole of a bar. Don't get me wrong I love a dive bar but my life being in a wheelchair is already tough enough without being discriminated against because of your staffs inability to understand the ADA law and realize I am perfectly within my rights to allow anyone I chose to say hello to my service animal. I reached out to Disability Rights of Florida to file a lawsuit against this establishment and because it's a sole entity and too small to file against them. Which leaves me to this, I just want it to known to the public how much this has bothered me as it happened almost 3 years ago! This has bothered me to the point that I still think about it to this day. Do better as a business to educate your staff!
