    I tried this restaurant at the Asian Street Food Festival on Wednesday and was absolutely blown…read moreaway by their Turkey Burnt Ends Stir Fry. They also offer it in their frozen meal prep section, which makes it an easy go-to meal option. One of the servers told me it includes brown rice, turkey burnt ends, edamame, carrots, green onions, sesame seeds, and Korean BBQ sauce. Not only are the ingredients surprisingly nutritious, but the combination is incredibly flavorful and satisfying. This was easily one of my favorite things I tried at the festival, and I'll definitely be making a trip to their Tinseltown location soon to add it to my regular rotation. Side note: I'll upload a better photo once I grab a full-size portion -- this was the festival serving size!

    I've been to this location a few times, but this is my first time leaving a review. I really like…read morethat they have the carbs and calories listed on the menu and that they offer healthier options. I usually get the sweet potato fries and a burger without the bread, so I get it as a lettuce wrap. The fries are always good, and I really like the sauce too. I also like their pizzas, including the frozen ones. My main issue lately has been the burger patty. I assume they make the patties in house because the size seems to be different every time, but the last couple of times I've gone, the patty has been extremely small. It was more like a little meatball than a burger patty, which is disappointing when you're ordering a cheeseburger. If they are making the patties by hand, I think they could really benefit from weighing or measuring each patty so they are more consistent. I still like the healthier options and some of the food here, but the burger quality has definitely gone downhill for me the last couple of visits.

    As someone who loves Mediterranean food, and who thought they visited all the best places in…read moreJacksonville, I definitely spoke too soon. Tabouleh is quaint and casual on the inside. Bright, clean and has the character of a great local, family owned restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and informative. You order at the register where you can see the clean and busy kitchen directly behind. Your food is then brought out to you and everything is made fresh. There are Coke products in a soda fountain and a refrigerator with sodas, beer and wine. We ordered the Vegetarian Platter. First, the best hummus and tahini in the area. The falafel is fantastic along with the gyro. I wasn't expecting the fries to be so amazing but they were crispy and seasoned so well. Everything hit, and this is a new go-to for us. If you're anywhere near Arlington and want great Mediterranean food, you must try Tabouleh. One of Jacksonville's best to me.

    Fantastic food and great service. Order at the counter and they bring your food to you. We split…read morethe vegetarian platter to try many appetizers and each ordered a pita wrap with fries. Standouts on the platter were the warm grape leaves, the hummus, and the tabouleh salad. The falafel was tasty but a bit greasy. The spinach pie had great flavors but would have been better served warm. The pita was warmed and great for dipping in that delicious hummus. I have a new favorite hummus in Jacksonville. My chicken shawarma wrap was filled with chicken and so well seasoned. I have half left for another meal. The fries were crinkle cut but cooked crispy with a seasoning, really liked them. The place had seating options inside and outside too.

First, the mozzarella salad that's pictured on Yelp with balls of fresh mozzarella isn't what you actually get. It was shredded mozzarella and the lettuce was brown and wilted, not very appetizing. The pierogis were good but the sausage that accompanied it was basically Jimmy Dean sausage. The service was decent but they definitely microwaved the food because I heard it go off multiple times in the hour I was there. If I wanted to eat microwaved food, I would have just ate at home.

    This place is great, I've had so much fun in the (early) 9am hour rush of this place. My server…read moreEmily was wonderful, she was attentive, expressive and impressively insightful about the menu selections and tailored options for her guests. This place is well run, with women servers on a mission for excellence: people are seated promptly and are seen by their server quickly. Here are some things that I noticed about this place: -the family bathroom was clean, well-lit, and (thank god) did feature a coat rack! *this is important for purses*, changing station, and railing on the door and walls to assist our friends who need extra support. -the grits were HOT, buttered and delicious, very simple recipe with cheddar cheese and my addition of salt & pepper, best restaurant grits ever (and I'm generally underwhelmed by grits from every restaurant) -I was able to sub turkey sausage for my topping in the Secret Bene dish was met with a smile and agreeance. No pork on this fork -if you want to dine with ease, come here the seating in the general dining area is built for tables of 2-4 patrons, semi-closely spaced but the larger tabletops are sequestered into their own section. This seating plans allows for smaller parties to be tended to quickly and redirects the noise and collaboration needed to tend to a larger table top away from others' dining experience. I am delightfully pleased to say that they need to bring back this classic American dining practice of partitioning of space for a larger tables. I remember this in restaurants like ihop and TGI Fridays from back in the day, it does make a difference. -the silverware was clean, very clean place. Thank you SGC!

The melt was decent and I'll circle back to it eventually but I'll try something else next time because I remember loving their breakfast options last time we were here. I LOVED the kettle chips and would get them as a side with anything else. Lauren had the Morning Grab Sandwhich. She picked sausage patties. She could get her egg done however she wanted so she picked fried hard. She could pick cheese as well so she picked American. She liked how buttery the croissant was and said it held up fairly well to the main ingredients. She really liked the breakfast potatoes for her side and said she'd order them every time. This is a cute little place and it's been too long since we stopped in. Emilie was a great server and she happened to be the same person who waited on us the last time we were here, well over a year ago!
