Came to Jax Cooking Studio for a team building event with our site leadership team with the whole studio to ourselves. We were all weary at first because it would be work. Came in and the studio was spacious, welcoming, and very clean. There are stoves & ovens across both sides of the studio, we got partnered to make our meals that evening. They had provided a cart of alcoholic beverages for us to choose from to help get the evening started, that helped! We were then asked if we wanted to music & up to our choice...I chose for the team - 90's hip hop! It was classic, cooking/baking to the beats of Bone Thugs N Harmony, Tupac, OutKast, NAS, Wu Tang Clan...I was very proud! Recipes and steps for the evening's meals were posted above our cooking station and the chefs also go through the steps before we worked. The spices and materials needed for the recipes were prepared for us & we just followed through with the steps. Overall the food tasted very good & the it was a great event/experience. read more

Great time celebrating cinco de Mayo with tequila, tacos, and great friends! You don't have to be a chef in training to enjoy this cooking experience, if you're curious give it a try. Jax Cooking Studio provides everything you need to create a fantastic meal, including top of the line utensils, cooktops and ovens. All you need to bring is yourself and a hungry belly! read more

i can not give this school enough good review . my daughter enjoyed the homeschool class so much and the ingredients they use are so fresh and good . the owners are great too and so accommodating to dietary restrictions . love love love this school read more

I recently attended the cupcake class, it was my first experience at the cooking studio and I wanted to share my feedback. First off the studio is immaculate, very nicely appointed and clean, bright and has a lot of potential. Most workers we encountered were friendly. Room for improvement would be recipes, attention to detail. When I make cupcakes at a cooking studio and someone is in charge of cooking them in their ovens I don't expect them to burn or be tumbled out if a pan and squished. Both things happened during our class to me and others. Also, I expected the cupcakes to taste good and not be dry, mushy or just have bad texture. The studio measured the ingredients and provided recipes but they honestly didn't look right much of the time like things were missing ie milk, eggs etc. I'm not sure what they did but once we made the cupcakes they weren't really all that great. Honestly I left feeling disappointed. I spoke to a couple other people who had been to the studio before and they said this was "the worst class" they'd been to so I thought maybe I'd be open to trying it again hence 4 stars and not 3 but overall I really expected more. read more

At the last minute, I called earlier this morning and spoke with the owner Terri to see if there was still a possibility for the two of us to take the 6pm Fundamentals of Cooking - Searing, Sautéing and Stir frying course tonight and was very psyched to "get in!" First off, Terri is hands down awesome and so very cordial! Amazing that JAX Cooking Studio has only been opened for 4 weeks and I've already begun to hear first hand of numerous 5 star experiences from colleagues and yelpers about this fantastic cooking school for kids and adults! The whole process is very easy Peezy online via their website- you check out the course offerings, select the course by date and then pay online with confirmation and tickets emailed to you! The cooking studio is very nicely set-up with all brand spanking new equipment, induction ovens and the full gamut of kitchen tools and food stock! As soon as we entered, we were immediately greeted by two chefs including our chef Jeff as well as Terri the owner. The center of the cooking studio contains a grand table with seating for 20 and 8 different cooking stations with induction ranges and chopping/prep areas that are arranged nicely on the left and right walls. The chefs station is located on the far back wall in the perfect location to conduct demonstrations while miked before students break off to their respective stations to cook their own dishes. I loved this methodology for this course and as a result, we learned chefs techniques to perfectly sear meat, pan fry meats and veggies, stir fry veggies and make the incredibly "cool" bananas foster flambé!! Best of all, you get to eat what you make as well as enjoy big portion samples of the chefs demo dishes. And both Wines generously poured by Terry all night during the 3 hour session -- the white wine Story Hill Chardonnay and Red wine members mark Black point red wine blend -- were supremely delicious! I highly recommend JAX cooking studio for a unique dining experience to include a very cool date night -- even an anniversary dinner! Let Terri know that you're a Yelper --she'll appreciate knowing that Yelp Nation is supporting this brand new small business! read more

Highly recommend!! We've been here a few times. We've had a few mother/daughter (10 years old) date here and loved it. We have done the Frozen themed class and desserts. I also took my daughter with 2 of her friends (all 10 year olds) for the fall dessert class so we had 2 full stations that time. It was so much fun for everyone! There is complementary wine for the adults, if you want it. The staff is always super sweet and helpful. One of the girls accidentally dropped and broke an egg and she was mortified. The staff couldn't have been sweeter, reassuring her that it was ok and nothing to stress about. The instructions are demonstrated by the staff in a group setting and then we break off to follow the instructions, which are also provided in writing for us. All the ingredients are provided and pre-measured before we even show up. It's super fun and fool-proof for kids and adults! This is probably my favorite place for mother/daughter quality time. Not to mention, we always leave with a TON of great food to take home! read more

This experience was amazing. Fun, easy to follow and truly unique. The only drawback was a number of gnats flying around. A few ended up in my glass of wine but this did VERY LITTLE to deter from the experience. This was a wonderful celebration of our 18th Anniversary and my wife and I have already started to look for the next session we'll attend. read more

Gave me diarrhea and some ingredients are expired . The chef is always in a hurry and rushing us

A group of 8 baker - decorators under the age of 15 (& moms) created our own Geode cake day and had SO MUCH FUN! The instructor gave a lot of information but spoke slowly and with a sense of humor. She urged us to have fun and we sure did. There was no pressure, lots of help and beautiful results. It's amazing to learn techniques you can take home with you and recreate. We love this learning environment! read more

Once you have kids it becomes more difficult to maintain a date night routine. So when we get the chance it's nice to do something more than just dinner and a movie. After researching and seeing reclaimed for this place we felt it would be a great thing to try. We are glad we did. This place is awesome and the staff are absolutely great. We did the Valentine's Day surf and turf. So they go over how to make all the dishes, sides and desserts. Then give you and your loved one the opportunity to make it yourself. They are floating around to answer all your questions too. I like to cook, but hearing how technical cooling can be was awesome. Different pans for different dishes different oils for different effects. I definitely learned a lot and above all we had an amazing night. The people we were cooking with were awesome too. Great experience will definitely do it again. read more

I was really excited to book a cooking class for my significant others birthday, especially when all items on the menu are his favorite (chicken cordon bleu, Mac and cheese, key lime pie). When we arrived we were not immediately greeted and since it was our first time, we were confused as to what to do. After scoping out the room we went and stood by an empty cooking station and then were directed to go pick out an apron near the entrance. The class started 15 minutes later than scheduled as the staff was waiting for straggles to wander in. But they did have complementary wine, so we didn't mind a later start time. The first thing we did was prepare key lime pie, and I was really excited to learn to make pie crust so I could replicate at home. But we were disappointed to see the pie crust was already made for us, and our "preparation" was mixing pre portioned items into a bowl. This is when I realized that this cooking class was not what I thought it was. In fact, all of our food items were already pre measured and no knife skills were used besides chopping garlic. Disappointing. The chicken breast provided were large and I was again excited to pound out the chicken like I had seen on the Food Network. Alas, no other tools were used in this class besides a whisk. Our chef instructor also prepared other items for us such as dressing for the salad, and sauce for our chicken. She provided a short demo on how to do it, but we were not able to do this on our own. It was pretty clear we were very out of place. This cooking studio I believe has great benefit to kids, as I know they provide kids cooking classes, and it was really nice to see the ones in our class proud of what they made. However if you're an adult who had moderate cooking skills, this is more like a really expensive blue apron experience. By the time our time ended, I was really embarrassed to gift this to my boyfriend for his birthday. We both agreed for the price, we could of went out to a nice dinner, or prepared a meal at home together with an internet recipe for a fraction of the cost. Two stars for cleanliness and complimentary wine. read more

This class was SO much fun!! I did it with my fiancé and his parents while visiting Jax and we had an awesome time. Our chef, Meg, was amazing--so knowledgeable and easy to follow. We made a cheese soufflé, flank steak, and chocolate soufflé for dessert. Perfect class size to get one-on-one help when needed but still able to socialize with others in the class and have a great time. Plus bottomless wine while cooking, can't get much better than that! I can't wait to do this again. Thank you Meg for an incredible night! read more

We had my daughter's 12th birthday there. We also attended their after school cooking series (until COVID cut that short). This is a fantastic way to foster your child's love of cooking and baking! The recipes are so good and easy to follow. The party was a blast and all the children left with the cupcakes and banana bread they made themselves. Highly recommend! read more

I understand that things are difficult for businesses with COVID and that everyone has policies but I had a family member who was extremely ill (Covid related) and we were called to the bedside. I had to go out of town to be there and needless to say I missed the class (2 tickets). I called at my first available opportunity (the day after the class). I was quoted the policy, "no refund for missed classes without advanced notice no matter the reason", was also told there was nothing that she (the owner) could do. She was very insensitive and continued by saying, "If everyone told her a story she would go out of business", then she hung up abruptly. This is unprecedented times and the loss of $200 was tough. Would have even taken half back but again the owner was adamant about her policy. You be the judge. read more

This is one of the most fun things to do in Jax! Came for the first time tonight and will be coming back soon for sure. The meal was delicious, staff was awesome and the space is beautiful- it felt like we were eating for 3 hours straight! So worth it! read more

This is a really nice place to play with your food. They teach healthy cooking with fresh ingredients. The music is great with a cold beer or wine. The vibe is high energy and fun. I would definitely recommend this place. Great for groups. In fact I think it's more fun with a group of coworkers or friends. Awesome bachelorette party place. Ten thumbs up! read more

Our experience with JAX Cooking Studio left us with a bad taste in our mouths. My wife was feeling a bit off (physically) the day of our event. She took her temperature throughout the day, and, sure enough, she was running a low grade fever. Towards the end of the day, I myself was also running a low grade fever. In the spirit of public health (especially in these times), we decided not to go to the event, ESPECIALLY because we would be mask-less, eating food. Apparently, this was not a good enough reason to reschedule to a different night (we didn't even want a refund - we wanted to come back!). The person I talked to on the phone (who I assume is the owner) stated that "she has a business to run" and she couldn't just make adjustments for everyone who asks. Honestly, it feels a bit like a slap in the face - my wife and I are vaccinated, healthy individuals, so we were more concerned with exposing others to COVID more than anything else. I guess I learned my lesson - just go for it next time, because the right thing to do will end with a $130 bill and a bad taste in your mouth. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

We had a wonderful evening at Jax Cooking Studio! It's a perfect location for celebrations where with multi-generations can cook and EAT together. We'll be back! read more

JAX Cooking School has been a favorite of friends who have taken classes, had great fun with the chief & staff, and then enjoyed the fruits of their labor, by sitting down to enjoy their self-made meal. Recently, during the Covid 19 required shutdown, we called and ordered a delicious Greek dinner of moussaka, pasticcio, spanakopita, a Greek salad, as well as chocolate mouse and Greek cookies. Terry, the owner, and her chef, Sandy, met me at 4:00pm as scheduled. Everything was table-ready to carry home and enjoy. The portions were generous, everything was delicious, and the price was most reasonable. Whether for takeaway or attending a cooking class, JAX Cooking school is a gastronomic treasure. read more

Jax Cooking Studio is the perfect place to enjoy a date night, time with friends, plan a family night, or just go by yourself to learn a new skill. I've been four times. Once was a date night taco night. Sounds simple, but my husband and I still use some of the cooking skills when we prepare food for our family. I also attended a cake making and decorating class with my mom. What a treat! The chefs are incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the process. We learned simple recipes to bake homemade cakes and then how to create icing flowers and simple icing techniques. Today's class consisted of baking bread from a starter. Such an easy concept, but the little strategies Chef Nancy provided gave me confidence to bake some bread for family dinner! This place is awesome! Check out their classes on their website because they have something for everyone, even kids! read more

I went to a cooking class with the women business owners of North Florida. I don't cook at all. I was nervous about looking like a dummy. And yet, they made me comfortable and I cooked the the best thing I ever have in my entire life. And we had so much fun. Easy parking too. It was a great layout and a wonderful place for bonding with my friends. read more

Our children have attended 2 private birthday parties and have had a great time. Based on this we decided to purchase 10 tickets for brunch on 12/26. We thought it would be a nice family experience. Unfortunately 7 days before the brunch our 5 year old began feeling sick. He had a COVID PCR test 6 days before the scheduled brunch and it was negative. Just to be safe we decided to take him to the pediatrician the same day and they also tested him. The 2nd PCR test came back positive but we didn't receive the results until 4 days before the brunch. The same day (4 days before the brunch) 2 more of our children began having COVID symptoms (vomiting, fever, hives). I contacted the Jax Cooking studio immediately (4 days before the brunch) and emailed a copy of the positive PCR test results. The rest of the family also contracted COVID. I tested PCR positive at Mayo the day of the brunch. We notified people, "followed the science" and isolated for 10 days to stop "stop the spread." At this point we were only able to try and sell the tickets. We were not able to get a refund or credit. The tickets did not sell. We lost $650 in adult tickets and $90 in children's tickets. The policy states: We require 7 days' notice to provide a credit card refund, minus the processing fees we encounter. We require 5 days' notice to receive a gift certificate for the amount you paid. If you are not able to provide 5 days' notice, we will attempt to rebook your tickets. If we are successful, we will provide you with a credit you may use on future classes. If your tickets do not sell, no refund or store credit will be issued. We were aware of the policy. We had bad luck in learning about the first COVID positive PCR test 4 days before the brunch instead of 5 days when we could have received a credit. Obviously we were very disappointed. If you manage to stay well and attend a cooking class you will have a great time. Hopefully you will be comfortable losing your money if you also have bad luck and get sick 4 days or less before your scheduled class. read more

This place is AMAZING. I have done about 6 cooking classes here. They have a huge array of classes online so everyone can find a class they would love. I am vegan and love that they have plant based cooking classes and any non-vegan class can be made vegan for you. The staff is so knowledgeable, kind and genuinely want to teach and help you about what we all know and love - food. All the ingredients are measured out for you beforehand and after each recipe is done the staff cleans your station. Everything you hate about cooking (the measuring and mess) is handled for you. At the end, you get to leave with all the amazing recipes and the tastiest leftovers (if you have any left!!). I recommend everyone come here and try a class. I swear it is addicting and you will just keep coming back for more! read more

LOVED this girl's night out! Chef Jeff is super helpful and his assistant, Aisha, is awesome. Lots of positive reinforcement which is great for beginners.

Spur of the moment decision to try something new, different, & out of the ordinary...so my wife says "lets check out this cooking school, whadda ya think?"...(Happy wife, Happy life)- so I go... had a BLAST!!! Very welcoming and totally non-intimidating, the chefs and staff are just regular, down to earth people that take the mystery and confusion out of cooking some extremely fine dishes. "Chef Jen" & "Chef Walter" did the show & tell, sent you to your cooking stations, and then checked in as we got busy to answer any questions, tweak our technique, or just provide positive reinforcement. These chefs are both talented in a way that makes you comfortable enough to explore, experiment, and expand your horizons. We'll be back and we'll bring friends. You should not miss this GREAT option for a different kind of night out, you'll be back. read more

Our "gal" group of ten had a fantastic evening last night at Jax Cooking Studio! Chef Kelly and Chef Nancy taught us how to make four delicious very different appetizers! After pouring a glass of complimentary wine, we were treated to watching the first appetizer being made...Mexican Shrimp Cocktail! Delicious! We scarfed that down (it was so good!) and then put on our aprons to make the three other appetizers...Greek spinach pies with a twist; vegetable summer rolls; and Japanese grilled steak and onion rolls! All fairly easy to make and all delicious! Once made, you serve at the huge and beautiful dining table and enjoy your creations with another glass of complimentary wine! Great night! We had a blast! We'll be back! read more
