    Grilled Chicken Salad, more things you can add but i keep mine simple
    Baby A.

    Ive been here about 4 times and i try something new everytime and everything has exceeded my expectations. It is so tasty like its homemade. obsessed with this place and i almost never leave reviews but this small business is really nice. Ive tried grilled cheese sandwich, grilled chicken salad and the cheese burger and its all tasty. Great for lunch breaks and very affordable.

    This is a hidden jewel. Sam runs a great business with breakfast and lunch. He makes the place with his personality and some fantastic food that is all fresh and almost all made to order. We had the schwarma combo with Greek salad. Absolutely delicious. The schwarma was the best I've ever had and was made to order. Can't wait to try breakfast and some of the other Arabic dishes for lunch as well on our next visits.

    We recently had brunch / lunch at The Toasted Yolk Cafe. We hit up the location at 10915…read moreBaymeadows, just west of 295 in the shopping center with Winn-Dixie. I ordered from the Dynamic Duo (sandwich & soup combo) menu. I picked the Reuben and Chicken Tortilla Soup because it's been a minute since I've had either. The Reuben was good with my one critique being that I could've used a little more Thousand Island on it. The soup was good as well and not too spicy. I always order Chicken Tortilla and hope for the best because I've had it swing way past my threshold for heat but this didn't. It has a kick for sure but not too bad. My wife ordered the Hot Honey Chicken & Yolk Biscuit Sandwich. She really liked it with the biscuit itself exceeding what she expected. Like me, her only small issue with that she liked that hot honey so much, she would've liked a little more on it. That's something she knows to ask for next time though, so no biggie. We sat at the bar and service was great from everyone we interacted with. This was out third time here since they opened. My wife pointed out that she liked her first visit and this one better than the second. She had a regular platter the second time, so she thinks sticking with their specialties is the best way to go.

I will start with the cheese grits first, OMG they are truly the best cheese I have ever eaten, hands-down! Thick, full of cheese, and a right amount of seasoning made these absolutely perfect. I could have bathed in these grits! The pancakes were excellent. I'm not sure what their recipe is, but the flavor was outstanding. You really did not need syrup. They were cooked to perfection as were the eggs and my vegetarian scrambler. Truly made to perfection. The toasted yolk café should be very proud to have Andre on their team and he should serve as a role model for others.

    Since this restaurant opened in our neighborhood, we've been coming here regularly. At their…read moreprevious location, the space was much smaller, often crowded, and the parking lot was limited, so we didn't visit very often. The food is consistently served just as it should be--hot dishes arrive hot, cold dishes arrive cold, and we never have to wait long for our meals. The staff remembers us and always greets us warmly. It's the kind of place where you can truly relax and feel as comfortable as if you were eating at home. The dining area is bright and very clean. The décor has a contemporary art vibe that would look great in photos and on social media. Parking is plentiful and easy to navigate. Having Walmart in the same shopping center is also very convenient, since we can stop by for errands on the way home. This has become one of our favorite local spots.

We had a wait on this Sunday,…read morebut that was mainly because there was rain outside and there tables in the patio weren't accessible. The wait was well worth it. The restaurant itself is small, the space used well. The decor bright and clean and all the service from the time of check in, along with the meal was stellar. With this being my first visit, I went for the basics for my breakfast. The eggs, coffee and sausage were really good. I like my coffee a bit stronger, but that's a preference thing. The hash browns were so crispy, so tasty. Some of the best I've had. No soft middle, just cooked to perfection. The pancake fantastic as well. Great taste, great consistency, just a hint of sugar. Canopy Road Cafe is a really solid choice for your breakfast or brunch and I highly recommend you give them a try.

But Jax Bread is probably the best you're going to get in Jacksonville. And it's excellent on its own merits. I ordered the lox bagel and it hit all the right notes: a perfectly chewy bagel, super fresh toppings, and the ideal cream cheese-to-bagel ratio (which matters more than people realize). Everything tasted fresh and was thoughtfully put together (more proper ratios). The service is always lovely, and I've genuinely never had anything here that wasn't delicious. This visit, I also grabbed the day-old mystery 3-pack of bagels so I could carb out a few more times this week. They're just as tasty, freeze beautifully, and at $2.99 it's an unbeatable deal. I'm already eyeing Jax Bread for some Christmas goodies this year because there are so many great things to choose from. If you haven't been yet, fix that.

My friend ordered us the Pork Belly Kimchi Fries, I got us an order of the Cheese Curds, and for my entree I got an order of the Asian Sticky Wings. I probably would have never ordered the kimchi fries on my own. Sometimes kimchi can be fickle and really hit or miss. It was definitely a hit here. More on the sweet and tangy side but worked really well. Fries seasoned perfectly, and the pork belly cubed and cooked to perfection. Out of all of the times I've been to Wicked Barley, these fries have to be one of the best items I've had from there. Cheese curds were pretty basic. Tasted great, but nothing to write home about. If you like Cheese curds, you'll enjoy theirs. I originally had my eye on the jerk chicken wings and I was warned by the waitress and my friend that they are REALLY hot. Jerk chicken is generally one of those thats right on the borderline of too hot for me. To give you an idea, if you're familiar with Butthutt BBQ's jerk chicken, theirs is as far as I can go for spice level. So I switched it up to be safe, and I am glad I did. Sweet and sticky, these had really great flavor inside and out. Would definitely get these again in the future. Brought a couple home to the hubby and he seemed to enjoy them too, and he normally doesn't like, what he refers to as, "sweet meat". I had three different beers in my favorite tasting style, sour. I had the PB&J sour, the mango sour, and the orange cream sour. The orange cream was my favorite of the 3. We enjoyed the sounds of the band Splittone in the background and enjoyed the whole vibe of our meal. I'm hoping to visit again on a future weekend and possibly bringing one of my pups along with me since they are dog friendly.

My son and I were headed out to another spot nearby, and when we got there, it was closed, so Julie's was very close by . And I can tell you we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch there. Service was great, parking was easy, and the food was more fabulous than I expected. I mean, it was really really good.. The ambience is certainly in the deli space, and from the outside it doesn't look like much, but inside doesn't look like much either. But the food sets it apart. OK, I've talked about food, so I'm sure you wanna hear about it (if you're still reading): Tzatziki sauce - homemade made really well done. Fries - extra crispy with a hint of salt, and I'm not a big fry person, but I love these. Potato salad - delightful side, can't go wrong. Gyro Wrap - marinated lamb, so tender you can cut it with a fork, wrapped in a pita. Gyro Platter - the same as the sandwich, but with pita chips and may be a little more lamb. I really couldn't believe how tender the lamb was, and how well it was spiced. I think my son and I were both shocked at how good the food was. Now, don't go expecting some eyebrow food, this is a deli. There's burgers, they're sandwiches, but I would stick to the Middle Eastern food that they serve because I think they really do it well. . This is a little far for us to drive for lunch, but I can guarantee you we will be back at this spot .

Her strong attention to detail and her ability to make the customer feel they are the most important one that she has of the day is beyond reproach.

Her actions demonstrate her commitment to working with people and making a difference and today she did. The eggs were cooked. Perfect today the pancakes, however, a little more overdone than I would prefer, but they cannot always be done perfectly every time.

I don't like eggs so that eliminates half the menu at breakfast places so I usually have pancakes or waffles. I had the blueberry pancakes and they were as good as I've had anywhere in a long time. They're huge and take up the entire plate and they don't skimp on the blueberries either. I was hungry and still not quite able to finish them all....but if you do their pancakes are automatically all you can eat so you can order more for no extra charge. The bacon is also a must try, it's four large strips of perfectly cooked bacon, not too crisp and not too soggy and they're lean cuts so not too fatty. Gotta have coffee of course and the coffee is solid as well, with quick refills. They also have cocktails etc. but I stuck with coffee this trip. Service is very fast and friendly here, they weren't too busy on a weekday but I can see where they'd get packed on a weekend. You won't regret checking this place out for breakfast if you're in the area.
