Today my wife and I decided to dine at Blu Diner, and it was a very enjoyable experience…read more I ordered the turkey wings with dressing, mac and cheese, and a side of greens. My wife had the BBQ pig feet with rice and greens. All of the food was perfectly cooked and very well balanced in seasoning--not overly seasoned and not bland. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I would give the meal a 9 out of 10. Whoever was in the kitchen today clearly put a lot of care into the food. Our server, Daja M, was extremely professional and attentive. She responded to every question and request I had with courtesy and a positive attitude. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us promptly and made us feel welcome. While taking our order, she was polite and appreciative, thanking us and also greeting other customers who entered behind us. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor created a comfortable atmosphere for everyone dining there. The portion sizes were also well worth the price. Each plate was around $15, and the quality and quantity made it a great value. Additionally, the dining area was very clean. There were no dirty tables or sticky floors, which made the experience even more pleasant. Overall, I truly enjoyed everything about our visit today. I would definitely recommend Blu Diner to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service. R/ Satisfied Customers

I have never had such a revelation and change of heart about a single food. This chicken will change your life! I have to drive about 30 minutes or more and 20 miles to get it and I happily do so when I get the "Shut Em Down Cravings" Each piece is individually cooked when you order it so you ALWAYS get hot (sometimes too hot to eat right away despite how much your mouth is watering) pieces of chicken. The sides are also good, though truthfully not nearly as good as the chicken, and you get two with your meal. Oh, and their home made baked good are delicious as well. The staff are friendly and quick to point out the best deal on what you are ordering (there are specials almost every day). Plus the atmosphere is VERY relaxed, sort of a diner meets Cracker Barrel (without all the junk on the wall). It is an overall bargain because it is hard to spend more than about $15 for lunch (including a drink) and you always have some to take home. There are other good fried chicken spots in JAX of course, but this is a GREAT fried chicken spot. Heck, now I've got the darn "Shut Em Down Cravings", guess it is a trip across the river for me soon.

The pork chop looked good, but it didn't seem seasoned, and there wasn't enough gravy on it to really be considered smothered. My husband's soda also had a strange aftertaste, which wasn't pleasant. On a positive note, the sides were absolutely delicious. The sweet potatoes, butter beans, rice, and cornbread were all flavorful and enjoyable. That's honestly what saved the meal for me. I know every restaurant can have an off day, and because we've had great experiences here in the past, we'll definitely give them another chance. This visit just wasn't up to the standard we've come to expect from Sweet Mama's.

This place is well known for feeding the soul with soul food recipes passed down for generations. I ordered a fixin's (vegetable plate) with rice, corn bread, and 3 sides of your choice. I selected collard greens, cabbage, and Mac & cheese with gravy from the smothered chicken to drape over the yellow rice. I ordered a tilapia filet, fried, à la carte which was cooked to order and a slice of peach pound cake with a tropical punch drink to quench my thirst. The servings are hearty as should be your appetite! Everything was tasty, seasoned and hot. The macaroni & cheese was a bit over salted for me, while the vegetables were cooked well, and benefited with hot sauce (my favorite food). The slice of cake was creative and very moist, as though there was something poured over it, not a glaze) to guarantee the moistness. There were pieces of peaches throughout each slice. I was able to bring some home and share with the family. My mom really liked the greens and cake while my dad is a diehard mac & cheese man! There was plenty of seating in the cafeteria style restaurant with a large screen tv on the wall. The place was abuzz with conversation, happy faces and well satisfied customers. It was clean, comfortable and reminiscent of family.
