That attention is a luxury these days and I wanted to make a note of that. The cashier would go from table and ask if anyone needed anything and we got into a discussion of how good the tempura green beans are. This is a hidden gem she gets everyday and I agree. It is lightly breaded, crunchy, and pairs excellent with ranch. Now I couldn't wait to rave about the burgers. Hands down the best "fast food". The burgers came out medium and perfect. I got the double and char burger with lettuce tomato, onion, bacon, cheese, mayo, ketchup, and mustard. The burgers came was juicy and reminded me of home cooked burger. Each bite the taste was of a cornucopia of flavors blending together of perfect harmony. I just can't give justice to these burgers you have to try for yourself. The name of this place fits what will be doing in the future....making a habit of coming here!

From the seating area toward the counter. Good spacing in this Habit burger restaurant.

Delicious meal!

Ordering was simple and convenient with a touchscreen setup at the counter, though I do think having a menu posted on the wall would make it even easier for first-time visitors. The wrap itself was huge, which was a nice surprise. Visually, it looked great -- definitely Instagram-worthy. But taste-wise, it didn't quite live up to the presentation. The chicken was a bit tough and messy to eat, and I only made it through half before calling it quits. The space itself was minimalistic in decor. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a try, but it probably won't return.

Jalapeño Express

Tasty taco truck with bold flavors, but a bit pricey for what you get…read more Jalapeño Express is a small food truck parked in a dental office lot, with a few casual tables nearby and a speaker strapped to the truck for ambiance. It's a one-person operation, so service can be a bit slow, but the food feels authentically made with care. We ordered the 2 burritos, 2 tacos, and a drink deal. Burritos are medium-sized, comparable to Chipotle, and while one is enough for me, the full combo would just satisfy a bigger appetite. The burritos were a bit soggy and could've been more generously filled. The tacos were the stars -- palm-sized but packed with flavor. The tripa taco was perfectly fatty and crispy, while the lengua was soft and flavorful. I'd come back for the tacos over the burritos. Drinks are self-serve from a cooler in front of the truck. There are two self-serve salsas -- a fresh green one and a spicier red; I preferred the red for its kick. Price-wise, it's on the higher end for a taco truck, which might be a drawback for some. Still, the taste delivers. If you're not in a rush and want a casual, no-frills taco stop with strong flavors, Jalapeño Express is worth trying.

Tijuana Flats

It's been a good number of years since I ate at Tijuana Flats! And that was back in Missouri,…read moreprobably in the 1990s. I liked it then - and I like it now! I'll say first of all, the parking lot isn't the largest here for the stores that surround it. I was blessed to get a good spot right in front of the door as the driver was pulling out when I drove in. As busy as it was around 30 minutes in, I'm sure some had to look hard for parking. Just be aware of that if you go here for dinner. You may want to be early. Tijuana Flats has pretty wild decor. It's different and hard not to like it. However, it seems to have some age on the interior and I think it could use some renovation. But people really like coming here. You can tell there are a lot of regulars, especially on Taco Tuesday. Though I didn't have the taco meal deal, I can say on Tuesdays you can get two tacos, chips, and a beverage for $7.00. And the tacos are pretty good-sized. In fact, most of the dinner plates I observed here were Taco Tuesday meals. But I wanted to try something more on the speciality side. I chose the enchiladas with the verde sauce. I didn't heat it up with any salsa - I actually forgot about that! But they were good in their own right. It does contain six items, but you can decline any of them if you choose to. The garlic lime bowl is something very much worth your time! You can choose from three different proteins and we had the beef version. It's sauced up well. The cheese and other veggies warmed on a layer of grounded beef and rice was pretty excellent and worth trying again in the future. I think customers would be happy with either of these. The service provided on this evening was pretty solid overall. They give good attention to the customer at the counter and the ones in the dining area. It took a while to come visit a Tijuana Flats restaurant. But it sure was worth it! Recommend: HIGH

I always leave this place feeling a little better than I did when I came. The employees here are always very polite, friendly and helpful. They always greet customers warmly and go out of their way to make your experience pleasant. Firehouse subs in general, no matter which location I visit, have the best subs compared to other chains. The meat portions are generous and do not taste like wax paper, as they do at a certain other chain. I have never had a bad sub at Firehouse. I will continue to patronize Firehouse Subs, and I especially enjoy this location. read more

I had a great experience at the Firehouse Subs off University Boulevard. The app wasn't working when I tried to place my order, but Bernie and the staff went above and beyond to help. They honored the discount without hesitation, were extremely friendly, and made the whole process stress-free. On top of that, the food was fresh and delicious--exactly what I was hoping for. Excellent customer service and tasty subs make this location worth recommending! read more

Later in the evening, the employees don't seem to care about service or quality and simply wanted to mess around and talk to each other. Customers seem to be more of a bother. Burgers are sloppily put together in the evening as well. I had tried a few other Culver's locations in Jacksonville as well as other states and usually enjoy the burgers. My son is a huge Culver's fan and loves their burgers, they probably rate in his top 3 burger restaurants. I like that the burgers tend to be a little crisp around the edges and have plenty of flavor. The buns are tasty and I love adding the grilled onions. The fries are fine, the cheese curds are ok and the onion rings are ok, nothing special, but what I tend to order. I really like the root beer and is what I prefer to drink at Culver's. The restaurant tends to be kept clean and like I said service seems to depend on the time of day. Overall it's a good burger restaurant and we will keep visiting when we are in Jacksonville.
