It's a typical old fashioned looking diner where you see the cooks behind the counter. There's also a nice little outside covered patio if you'd like to sit outside. Today we had the grilled cheese & fries and their chicken parmesan. Both were really good. There's a lot of chicken in the parm. We also finished it off with their amazing peach tea and the delicious banana pudding bread pudding. The menu had great variety and have never been disappointed.

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.

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!

My wife and I arrived to find a packed restaurant and we had a short weight of about 20 minutes in order to get a table. The staff was friendly to us and the food was also quite good. My problem with this establishment is the sign at the counter. Businesses that promote negativity towards the current president such as hatred like "Let's go Brandon" only serves to alienate more than half of their customer base because of course President Biden won by more than half the votes in the United states. I really think it's best that business owners keep their politics to themselves and do not try to force it upon their customers. I will not be back to this establishment because of this negative experience. For the record, when I brought this concern up with the cashier on duty she didn't say anything to me in response to what I said. I think her silence speaks volumes. read more
