    Corn nuggets
    Marilyn Y.

    Now, this is some barbeque. We ordered the 3 meat meals, consisting of :beef brisket, ribs, and smoked chicken. We decided on potato salad and green beans as our side. I almost forgot to mention that we ordered corn nuggets as an appetizer, and boy, were they good fresh off the fryer. We started eating the brisket, omg moist tender meat, the chicken nice smokey flavor, and the ribs were just perfect. The sides were pretty good, and potato salad tasted homemade, and green beans just needed a little salt for my tasting. This restaurant is a Jacksonville staple, there are two other locations. This location in particular was less than ten minutes away from the hotel. I really enjoyed my meal and I highly recommend, if in the Jacksonville area. I just ordered a banana pudding to go and going to try it later.

    Turkey Salad
    Leticia C.

    I live their turkey salads! I eat them almost 2-3 times a week! The meat is plentiful, tasteful and their homemade ranch is ...omg, so good! The boiled egg is extra , but it makes the salad

    Good for 7 people?  Rubs, Turkey & pork.  Pork is skimpy though.

    Ordered lunch for 8 from Bonos Catering just before Christmas. We ordered a few days ahead for pickup. On the day we picked up our order it was ready at the designated time. We were in & out. When we unpacked our order we were missing a key side item, Cole's slaw! I was annoyed. When we called they told us to come back to for it. Well we were too hungry to wait for it. So we all dug in. We ordered the ribs plus one meat with sides. Ribs & turkey with Texas toast, coleslaw (missing), baked beans & Mac & cheese. Everything was delicious. My favorite is the turkey. Tender & tasty. The mac & cheese was rich & oh so good. Baked beans is a must have. Texas toast was very good too, Bonos is always consistent. Had they not forgotten a key side, coleslaw it would have been a 5 star rating, I keep coming back because their Turkey is the best in town.

    Turkey Sandwich Dry and over priced

    The sandwich was dry and overpriced. It came with a few little pieces of meat without any lettuce tomatoes or onions all that is extra. I felt robbed paying $16 bucks for this. The service was fast however the sandwich was plain. If you have a taste for bbq I suggest finding another establishment.

    My wife and I have been visiting Bono's Lane Ave for years. Very rare when we have a substandard meal. Tonight's dinner was wonderful. We were immediately met by an employee who was at the front making utensils wrapped with a napkin and taken to our table. Though she was not our server, she got our drinks. The place was clean and the music background. The table was clean and well stocked. I had the large ribs, fries, and fried ear of corn. The wife had small chicken platter (dark meat), green beans, and fried ear of corn. My ribs were great, what a slab, took two ribs home for lunch along with corn. Wife's chicken was good, beans hot, and both our corns were smoken hot. Server kept us in drinks and checked on us. The only complaint was the place was a little smokey. The wife said her eyes were burning a little. You could see the haze in the place. Now it was windy and raining, don't know if that contributed. Can you expect anything more? Actually, yes! We forgot the banana pudding to go. This place does a great take out business. Always a line and calls coming in.

    This is one of my favorite place to eat friendly staff. The food is okay but better than most bbq I have eaten in Jacksonville to date. The restaurant smells of smoke witch I love makes me hungry for some good old bbq.

    Just left from up there. I there right at 8:30p. I went through the drive thru. Granted they close at 9p. But that shouldn't change the quality in service and food. I ordered a large chicken plate w/ double fries. She says the fryer is down and I had to choose from the other sides. Of course they are ready to close and it's not really anything wrong with the fryer. I get home and the toast is burnt and the chicken does not look done. I try to call and of course the line is busy. This is terrible customer. If you close at 9p...close at 9p. Don't start closing before 8:30p. I was able to make it back before they closed and got a refund.

Organic products throughout the menu, as well as some gluten free options ... which was exactly what we were looking for! When we arrived, we found this pleasant environment with ample seating outside. As we began to review the menu, the manager of the shop was very friendly and helpful in navigating their menu. Ultimately, I decided to sample the bacon, egg, and cheese wrap. It was quite good. I believe they used a cheddar that was a bit strong for my taste and would have preferred some milder cheese options (like provolone). Regardless, it was tasty. My only complaint (and this may be specific to me) is that they did not have a cola flavored diet drink to offer. Yes, I admit, I need my Diet Coke with my meal. So, I had to walk around the corner and find a place to sell me a soda. Other than that, a great option for a meal.

    Banana Leaf Asian Bistro is located in a nondescript shopping center on Cassat Avenue,…read more specializing in authentic Cambodian cuisine, as well as Thai and Vietnamese dishes. This restaurant has become a local staple throughout the years with its diverse menu and use of fresh ingredients with traditional recipes. The dining room is spacious enough to accommodate large groups, and the bar is perfect for solo diners such as myself. The soft-spoken owner welcomes you like a member of the family and is more than happy to answer any questions and offer suggestions based on your preferences. I always get the Eggrolls to start, filled with chicken, veggies, and served hot and crispy with that appetizing sweet chili sauce on the side. The Pho here is highly regarded amongst regulars for a reason. My go-to is the Large sized #15a, Steak and Meatballs. The fresh veggies are served on the side, so I pile those in and go to work, leaving nothing behind but an empty bowl. Banana Leaf Asian Bistro caters to various dietary preferences, ensuring that every guest can find something to enjoy. They also offer flavorful milk teas, and Boba smoothies, as well as catering for events. From the food to the service, I can't recommend this awesome, local, family-owned business enough. Come here, eat here. Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, thanks for reading, and as always, SYOY!
