The food is my favorite and their coffee is to die for! What matters the most to me is consistency across locations, it means everyone is held at the same standard and expectations which is a good reflection of this company! I loved the ambiance, we will be trying out more locations soon!

I'm making an effort to leave more reviews--good or bad--so people know what to expect…read more I'll start with the customer service. The ladies working there were amazing. They greeted me as soon as I walked in, asked the right questions, and made me feel welcome. However, there was a young man who was incredibly rude. The first thing he said to me was, "What are you picking up?" I responded, "Let's start with a hello. How are you?" Instead of acknowledging that, he simply repeated the same question. At that point, I walked over to the ladies, who were extremely kind and helpful. Now, onto the food. I'm genuinely not trying to let my customer service experience influence my opinion, but I have to be honest--the food was pathetic. It lacked seasoning and flavor. Even after adding the salt and pepper packets that came with the utensils, it only made a slight difference. Unfortunately, nothing about the meal would make me want to come back. Even my one-year-old refused to eat it, which meant we had to spend even more money to get food somewhere else. The one highlight was the biscuit. I believe it was homemade, and it was genuinely delicious--probably the best part of the meal. Aside from that, I can't recommend the food based on my experience.

Let me just say We decided we will no longer be going to Johnny Angels for lunch anymore. The food is good but definitely not worth that am of money. Living on a fixed income is difficult enough but if more places charge these outrageous amounts for $55 I can buy groceries for a few days. Thanks but No thanks...

Johnny Angel's Diner is such a fun throwback to the 1950s and a great spot on Jacksonville's…read moreSouthside, near the University of North Florida. From the moment you walk in, the retro decor, classic Hollywood memorabilia, and spinning jukebox create a nostalgic diner atmosphere that feels warm and inviting. The food is just as enjoyable as the setting. They serve classic comfort food along with all-day breakfast favorites, including fluffy omelets, scratch-made pancakes, French toast, and hearty country fried steak. Their burgers are hand-formed and never frozen, and the Reuben is another standout, packed with plenty of flavor. And you definitely want to save room for one of their hand-dipped milkshakes or malts. With 11 flavors to choose from, there's something for every sweet tooth. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick, which made the whole experience even better. Johnny Angel's is the kind of family-owned diner where good food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere come together. A great place to enjoy some classic comfort food with a side of nostalgia!

While enjoying a weekend getaway in Jacksonville, we happened upon Uptown Kitchen & Bar--and it…read moreturned out to be a great find! We ordered the shrimp and gouda grits, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and a couple of brunch cocktails. The shrimp and grits were beautifully presented, creamy, flavorful, and covered in a rich sauce that brought everything together. The fried appetizers were golden, crispy, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauces. Our cocktails were just as enjoyable--colorful, refreshing, and the perfect addition to brunch. Uptown Kitchen & Bar was a delicious surprise during our getaway. If you're in Jacksonville and looking for a good brunch spot with flavorful food and fun drinks, it's definitely worth stopping by!

We thought for sure they would make us sit outside in that heat but we got a decent table inside towards middle. We arrived there about 11:40am and table was ready at noon we sat at the table after host seated us for 40 mins before even being offered water or anything. Our waiter (Nicole). Came to table when we first arrived just to tell us she would be with us shortly just for us to wait almost an hour. ATP we are starved and super thirsty. 12:38 she came to table to say "I'll be wit y'all in a few" and looked back to see the table behind us was her table too but came after us. So she finally took our order after realizing we were still waiting patiently. The food came out within 15-18 mins and was fresh. We had no complaints on the food at all other than my grits was a little lumpy. But still a great flavor. Everytime our waiter came back she seemed to be irritated or frustrated, but you shouldn't take that out on the customers specifically ones who have been nothing but kind. After we finished eating she brung a payment book with one receipt and said "is it ok that it's all on one receipt?" But it was more like she was telling us and didn't ask before hand and didn't even let us answer. She sat the receipt down and just walked out as we were answering. We planned to have 3 different checks because we were going separate ways. I called the manager over and he fixed it immediately and apologized for that. Some people just don't need to work in customer service. I get people have bad days but that was a bad experience for our first time there. Everyone else was super sweet except her. Atleast our food was good. Her customer service is definitely a 4/10. Even the table behind us was upset and requested a refund on the food. I would definitely go back just wouldn't want her as a server!

I ordered their cinnamon roll, and it was so yummy (and I'm a stickler for a good cinnamon roll)! I also ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on Texas toast with hash-browns. The sandwich was great, but will I say the hashbrowns were just OK -- I'll probably go with the country potatoes next time. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience I would definitely come back. *I didn't get a pic of the cinnamon roll, but, trust me, it was good!

The atmosphere was inviting with a cool, free-seating policy and the ceiling art by various artists was captivating -- fish, anime, food, beach, etc. After being seated, it took only a few minutes before we received menus and were asked about drinks. I opted for the waffle combo with scrambled eggs and sausage patties. The waffle was slightly crispy on the edges, but the inner part was soft? Perhaps it had been sitting out a little too long? The eggs and sausage were good. Overall, it was an okay breakfast, but maybe next time, I might try their lunch or dinner menu.

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

There is a cozy feel when you walk in and there are tables and bar seating. We sat at the bar so were able to get seated quickly. I ordered coffee and their corned beef hash omelette. I was very intrigued by this being an omelette. I had a choice for my side and picked hash browns. The food came out fast and fresh. It was all very good! The hash browns were more tender less crispy but were seasoned well. I really liked the corned beef hash omelette too! Given we were seated at the bar, we encountered most of the staff as they came to grab drinks and food from the kitchen and everyone was super friendly. Saying hi and making small talk as they waited on a payment to process or as they grabbed coffee for their customer. It felt very welcoming and cool. If you haven't been, I recommend adding it to your list, especially if you want a break from chain eateries.
