Laura was treating me to lunch for my birthday that has since passed. This was our first time here…read more We've heard good things about the place. When we walked in, we saw a huge table of senior citizens, maybe about 20-30! We decided to stay. There was only one Bartender and one Waitress. The place was packed. We sat by the window seats-that was all that was left to sit at. The Waitress was very attentive(even though she was slammed). Today's special was shrimp baskets. Shrimp could be cooked three ways. I chose fried w/onion rings(fresh-not frozen rings) & and a 50/50 tea. My meal was delicious. Laura had blackened shrimp w/broccoli. We both enjoyed our meals and had a great conversation. I had $40.00 cash on me and Laura had a card to treat me, but the internet and card machine had just gone down. So I paid for the meal and tip. Laura Cash App'd me $40.00. Pros:big place with a very friendly atmosphere. Great service and food. Cons:it was out of their control that the machine went down. Recommend:Yes

I ordered the blackened grouper bites and the bartender suggested a special sauce for them. Very sweet bartender. Very casual neighborhood restaurant and I'm very glad I popped in for a light dinner.

It's such a different experience from your typical bar. Great for families, groups, or anyone looking for something a little more fun than the usual night out. Plus the food and drink specials make it even better. Highly recommend for game days and movie nights!

We sat ourselves bc no one came to seat us for ages. Sat at our table for what felt like ages. No one came to greet us. Looked around and around - no one but a bartender in sight. Finally went to the bar to order drinks - poor girl was out of almost all drafts. Almost done with round one we finally get service. Two appetizers, a second round, and a paid check later - they finally change the TVS. Too late, we and what looked like everyone else in an NHL jersey were heading out. The bartender and the burger sliders tho... 100% amazing. I always give a place a second chance... so fingers crossed. We did get to meet Jessica the new HC of the Jacksonville Wave. She was wonderful to talk to.

I've visited The Local several times, but brunch here is a total standout. If you go, you HAVE to…read moretry The Blue Goat. It's essentially a decadent dessert disguised as breakfast! The whipped goat cheese paired with fresh basil is a home run--it adds an unexpected brightness that perfectly balances the rich bread pudding. The Neptune Beach location is my personal favorite. I love the walkable proximity to the beach, and the patio is the place to be when the weather is nice. Plus, they are dog-friendly, which is a huge win--I love being able to bring my pup along for a post-beach brunch!

This is my second time at this location and it was a very enjoyable experience. The first time I…read morewent with a large group and this time was just me and my husband meeting up after work. The location is easy to get to with plenty of close parking. Staff is friendly. There is bar, indoor, and outdoor seating available. Food was yummy. Atmosphere was laidback. My husband ordered the BLT with avocado and zucchini fries. I ordered the short rib rigatoni. Both were very tasty though if you like your pasta tossed in a good amount of sauce this may not be the dish for you. For me personally, I thought it delicious. The seasonal crème brûlée for dessert was so good! I am not a beer drinker but my husband loves to have local draft beers to choose from. The specialty cocktails were good but nothing exceptional about them. We will be back and would love to catch some live music.

My husband and I went on a much needed date night tonight. I've always wanted to give BB's a try…read moreand finally convinced him! We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer, they were phenomenal! Then we both decided on steak for dinner. I got the filet, and ordered it medium rare and it was perfect. My husband ordered the ribeye and his was medium, his was also spot on. Then of course, we had to get dessert. I got the German chocolate cake (this apparently isn't their normal one) and my husband got the dulce cheesecake. The waitress we had was great, and she recommended lots of tips and favorites to try. The only negative thing that I would say is that it's a bit cramped, so it was very loud and hard to hear each other at points. This was an amazing dinner. We will be back

Had a fantastic double date tonight celebrating my girlfriend's birthday! We were greeted warmly…read moreand given a nice table in the dining room. Our waiter, Evan, was very proactive & offered suggestions with menu items. We started with some cocktails, the gentlemen with the cider beer & an old fashioned. I chose a glass of bubbly & the birthday girl had the fizz cocktail. It was incredible with a fresh blackberry puree. We started with the fried green tomatoes & the calamari, both were delicious! Calamari was prepared well and not too chewy. We shockingly each chose a salad: the bistro steak, the chop chop Asian, the goat cheese, and the salmon. Each one was incredible. Mine was the chop chop and I absolutely loved it! It was HUGE and you can bet I ate every single bite. Loved it!' We finished with the brownie topped with ice cream for the birthday girl, it was extremely tasty! Thanks again to Evan for making our night! He was a fantastic waiter! Would absolutely request him in the future.

The cashier said they are the only Persian kabob place in town, and that style of kabob is my favorite. The rice was cooked nicely. The grilled tomato was a little too scorched on the outside, but I still enjoyed it. The platter came with a slice of lime, and a dab of butter which complimented the protein nicely. I wish my meal came with a grilled onion, and some pita bread like I'm normally used to seeing at other restaurants. I'm very happy that Jax has at least one good kabob place. If you love rice, or barbecue then I would recommend you check this place out. Credit cards: yes Customer service: the cashier greeted me kindly when I walked through the front door with a smile. I thought he did a good job. He was a young fellow with wavy hair. Parking: easy to find free parking in front of the restaurant when I went there on a Sunday afternoon. Cleanliness: it was clean. I didn't see the bathroom. Food violations: they do have some food violations that you can see on yelp. Hopefully they have that sorted out. The business owners need to stay on top of that.

Such a graceful and comfortable place. There has 2 outdoor garden. One is front of gate, another…read moreone is side of gate. I sat side one. It is small, and feeling secret. I ordered on pad ( in restaurant they has a pad, u can order), less than 10min I've got all food. Matcha tea, special season, and a cup of soup. Amount is more than Le petit paris at San Jose one. And has more menu choices than that store.

You have to order inside and then head to a table with your number and the servers will bring it to you. With a party of 5, our food came out in good time and we got an array of items-- from a breakfast croissant sandwich to little pastries, everything was wonderful. Most of us ended up trying their seasonal matcha drink which was a linzer matcha that came with black cherry and a pistachio cold foam. It has a specific taste but I liked it a lot! It's not a mix of flavors I'd normally think of but I ended up finishing my drink which I don't always do, even with matcha drinks. The croissants & bread were fresh and each dish was beautifully plated. I love a dish that both looks good and tastes good and it delivered both. The outdoor patio is covered and a great spot to enjoy your meal if the weather is beautiful and breezy which is was the day we dined here. The inside is also such a cute vibe. Such a great spot and will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

Their selections, whether sweet or savory, are always fresh and flavorful. The staff is so polite and informative and just proud of what they do. We go often whether it's from the "Too Good to Go" app or we're just in the area. The interior is clean and vibrant and a perfect cafe style experience if you desire to dine in as well. They offer vegan selections too. If you're anywhere in the vicinity of St Gabriel Bakery, I highly suggest you stop by. You will find something you love.

I think this is what heaven smells like!…read more Very unassuming storefront in a bit of an industrial neighborhood in the Southside, St. Gabriel Bakery should be a go-to for anyone looking for extremely good pastries, cakes, and breads that give you great value for the price. I was welcomed into the store as soon as I entered. The young man asked if it was my first time at the bakery. Then he took his time to give me a tour of the sweet and savory bakery items that they have on display and taught me how to select items by choosing a basket and a set of tongs for my choices. I purchased a banana muffin, which was almost as big as my fist and still could only eat half of it in a sitting. I also ordered the turkey sandwich on a ciabatta roll, which was just the perfect combination of meat, greens, avocado, and cheese in a beautifully baked roll. Have you ever had a sandwich whose flavors build with every bite? This is truly a unique bakery in Jacksonville, and we should do all that we can to support it. Tell your friends! You won't be disappointed.

I was lucky and was able to park out front while others were parking across the street. The menu is displayed in front of you on a lighted screen. Chose the half sandwich meal with chips and a side of soup. Side salad was an up charge for a one visit stop at the salad bar. I think it was like $4 or $5 more for the salad. I didn't want a $20 lunch visit. Drink was extra also. Got the New York Yankee, Basically a Rueben sandwich. Really think with meat, plenty of chips and the soup was hot and fresh with a sugar cane sweet tea. Overall my visit was okay. I enjoy the Larry's sub much better.
