    Decor

    I met a granddaughter here for a lunch while she was out on spring break and we enjoyed our lunch! It was my first time there and the decor was fun--decorated for St, Patrick's Day. Our server was Chloe and she was most attentive. My granddaughter ordered a Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla and I had a Drunken Wet Burrito (with alterations because of my onion allergy). Both were delicious. We split a serving of mud pie for dessert--excellent! I'll bring other family there to dine, for sure!

    Down and dirty: food with great flavor, decent prices, friendly and thorough service and nice atmosphere. Service: seat yourself, server was quick to get drink orders. Friendly and efficient. Food was fairly quick but received fresh and hot. Food: fresh and delicious with great flavor. Atmosphere: limited outside seating, inside is nicely decorated. Full bar.

    Trivia Tuesday nights! Food and service has always been friendly, and the layout is reasonably set up with plenty of room to have a big group or dining for two. The menu is on the pricey side, but tasty! The hubs and I seem to get the steak nachos every time we go. It's definitely worth the visit for a date night or a place to come for a few beers and hang out for a bit.

    Veggie Crunch Wrap

    Tried Back 40 Urban Fresh this past weekend and I'm glad I did. Great service, great food, great selection of beer, reasonable happy hour prices and a great place to spend that happy hour or watch a game. This is no dive bar though. Clean, updated, interior casual decor. Service was great, everyone was attentive and our food came out quick. Both the veggie wrap and the cheesesteak were delicious. The sweet potato fries were the best I've had. Fried and flavored perfectly and they were almost like planks. Really well executed. We'll definitely make this a stop when we're in the area and I highly recommend you give them a try.

    Island Bowl
    Dawn P.

    DE-LICIOUS! We had the Cuban sandwich with black beans and rice (I thought is was weird that they served it with Mexican rice instead of white rice, but it was good), and the Island Bowl, both of which was packed with flavor. A commodity for some reason in this area.

    Urban 40 was our Friday lunch date near home Johns and is also in St Johns county. It has the average bar feel. Out side seating, booth and a family style table for roasting and toasting. We both had the jerk chicken salad which was amazing. But watch out for the sour cucumber, alot of vinegar. I would add more jerk chicken to my salad. I even got a happy hour beer. Miller lite is my favorite! Our waiter was on top of everything. I want to come back for a boys night. Urban 40 hit all the marks. Perfection.

    Avocado BLT Wrap

    I can't remember the name of the taco place that was here, but I loved it. I hope this place lives up! Decor is pretty similar. So it didn't. Service was mediocre at best. I ordered the BLT avocado wrap...it was mostly lettuce and wrap. Really disappointing.

    First time here and I will definitely be a repeat customer. I'm gluten free and our server was very helpful telling me what was gluten free and delicious. I had 3 tacos all on corn, the smash burger taco was really so good. The 2 shrimp tacos were also quite amazing. My husband had the buffalo tacos and he loved them but said they were really spicy.

    This place is the best hang out for me and my husband. We enjoy the bar seating, the bartender is great, the drinks and food are delicious. Happy hour prices are the best too.

    We came back again and the second time was just as good as the first! We sat at a table this time and our server was constantly checking on us and making sure we were enjoying our meal. She was great! I ordered the buffalo chicken sliders (they were part of the game day special which is a burger, chicken, and pulled pork slider, but I was able to get all chicken). The sliders were the perfect amount of spicy, and the sweet potato fries were massive. I also ordered the house salad and couldn't believe how big it was! I just ordered a side portion but it was large enough to be a main. The house ranch was a great dressing to have with it. I'm not a huge fan of ranch in my salad (I usually go for vinaigrette), but our server recommended it as it's not as thick as other ranch dressings, and she was right! I love how casual this place is, yet the food is top notch. It's great for a lazy weekend dinner.

    Burrito and cider
    Lynda D.

    Popped in for fist time on a Sunday afternoon. We found the place bright, quiet and had many options. We sat at the bar and were served efficiently by our waitress, Emma. Started with the avocado app which was delicious and a lil spicy. I ordered the island bowl w/out jalapeños and onion and salad on the side. I enjoyed it and took more that 1/2 home. Hubby ordered burrito and managed to eat the whole thins as he had no breakfast. Everything was fresh and tasty. Emma was a delight. They have a dessert case which had some amazing cakes displayed but we didn't indulge. We will return.

    Our server Sarah tonight was unnecessarily rude. She did not have a great attitude, especially when we needed refills.

    Excellent food, service is okay, but make your take out order WAY in advance. Don't opt to wait for it unless you brought a book.

I know that's no reason to like a restaurant but it made it stand out for me. That's a chimichanga plate, fresh chips and salsa too.

    As much as I adore and appreciate the open layout and colorful decor of the expansive dining room,…read moreI often elect to dine at the bar when im flying solo. The "Dia De Los Muertes" artwork throughout the restaurant is great to sit and take in, especially if its your first visit. The TVs at the bar keep me entertained as I greedily snack on the tasty chips and salsa while watching whatever sports event is on. I've had quite a few dishes here, but my go-to fave is the Carnitas. Flavorful pulled pork, Spanish rice, refried beans, esquites (Mexican street corn), and warm flour tortillas. Forget eating everything separately...I go all in and scoop everything into that tortilla. SO GOOD. The tang and crunch from the esquites puts it over the top. Add a little squeeze of lime and dig in. The Enchiladas are also a good option when Im in the mood for some cheesy-melty goodness. The red sauce is rich and flavorful, and pairs wonderfully with the tender shreds of meat and that cool hit of the sour cream. Is Cantina Louie "authentic" Mexican food? Dont know, dont care. Quick reality check...this isn't Tijuana. The food is great and I've never had a negative vibe or experience here, with either the food or the staff. Highly recommend if youre in the area.

The food is consistently served just as it should be--hot dishes arrive hot, cold dishes arrive cold, and we never have to wait long for our meals. The staff remembers us and always greets us warmly. It's the kind of place where you can truly relax and feel as comfortable as if you were eating at home. The dining area is bright and very clean. The décor has a contemporary art vibe that would look great in photos and on social media. Parking is plentiful and easy to navigate. Having Walmart in the same shopping center is also very convenient, since we can stop by for errands on the way home. This has become one of our favorite local spots.

The restaurant itself is small, the space used well. The decor bright and clean and all the service from the time of check in, along with the meal was stellar. With this being my first visit, I went for the basics for my breakfast. The eggs, coffee and sausage were really good. I like my coffee a bit stronger, but that's a preference thing. The hash browns were so crispy, so tasty. Some of the best I've had. No soft middle, just cooked to perfection. The pancake fantastic as well. Great taste, great consistency, just a hint of sugar. Canopy Road Cafe is a really solid choice for your breakfast or brunch and I highly recommend you give them a try.
