String Sports Brewery is, at first glance, a brewery. But spend a few minutes inside and you'll…read morerealize it's also a quiet tribute to basketball culture, local loyalty, and unexpectedly onion ring excellence. I arrived unaware of its history, but the owner's love for basketball is unmistakable, and the locals reflect that same devotion... not just to the sport, but to the space itself. There's an ease here, a sense that people aren't just passing through. I took a seat at the bar, did what one does in such environments, and ordered an IPA. It was solid... confident, balanced, exactly what you'd hope for. But then came the onion rings, which I ordered based on a subtle but unmistakable social cue: everyone else seemed to be eating them. Reader, they were correct. These were not mere onion rings. These were structurally sound, texturally precise, and philosophically complete. Large, fully cooked onions, no trace of that unpleasant raw bite, encased in a crisp, golden coating that somehow maintained its integrity from first bite to last. Crunchy, consistent, and deeply satisfying. Naturally, I paired them with blue cheese dressing because I'm from upstate New York, and that is not a preference, it is doctrine.

I arrived a little bit later than the rest of my group and they had already ordered several apps for the table. I did not come hungry this trip, so I just munched on the boiled peanuts. They were spectacular. The service was wonderful! The employees were all very engaged with the customers. And what a great place to watch the game! An abundance of TVs and what's better than hanging out with fellow jags fans?! Plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor options. And just a fun place to be. I'm officially a fan now and will for sure check this out on a more regular basis. No pics because I was too busy being blown away by the Jags performance today! Duuuuuvallllll

Ugh, I hate, hate to leave bad reviews, and I leave them so very sparingly because I know the…read moremajority of them can be over zealous and unwarranted. With that being said... Last night a group of friends and I came here to celebrate a birthday. Nothing big or fancy, just wanted a good time with good people, with plenty of food and drinks. - The Taps System - Upon using the tap systems, between my husband and I more than 4 taps we're emptied, but we were still charged 2oz - 4oz pours... even if nothing but foam came out. There was even one instance where my husband was charged for a 4oz pour before he even touched the handle. - The Food - My husband and I only ordered the chip duo (comes with queso and salsa). You can tell the salsa IS made fresh in house, but it was extremely sweet, almost like a ketchup sweet but not the same consistency. It really needed some extra seasoning blends in it. The queso was good. I enjoyed that, but nothing too special about it, but good. A friend of ours ordered a burger, and after waiting 20 minutes for it, he was told he never placed the order for it. He pulled his phone out, showed where his payment had gone through and order was submitted, and then come to find out, the kitchen so.ehow didn't receive the order or his ticket got lost in the process along the way... so he never got food. Frustrating. Another person at our table ordered a special made drink from the bar, and after waiting 20 minutes for it had to ask about it and what happened. Then a couple minutes later two came to the table, she let them know she only ordered one, so they took the second one they goofed on making. - Service - I forget her name. She said multiple times she was new and had only just started. Bright, bubbly, energetic, and full of charisma. She is the reason this isn't a 1 star TBH. She was an absolute delight and wonderful to have serving and assisting us. I wish I remember her name, but she had wavy/curly hair and a sunny little finesse to her we all enjoyed. She was your saving grace last night for all of us. I hate to say, but after the multiple mishaps, we probably won't return. The atmosphere and space are great and beautiful, but the many failures in different aspects really made it feel like it wasn't a one off thing. When we reviewed our receipt at home, we noticed that a lot of the overcharges from the empty taps were not removed, and in this economy, that really sucks.

Of course, the girls and I decided to try it out for girls' night and regretted our decision within two minutes of walking in. The times posted on the website are different from the times on the card we were given a few weeks back. All of that went out the window when I called to confirm which time was correct and was told that they "will be open in about 30 minutes." This was at 8 pm. We went in and found a table which was easy cause there were only three people in there and two of them worked there. We sat down, waiting to see if anyone was gonna come see if we wanted to order anything. Ten minutes later, after one of the girls got something brown on their hand from the table, we decided to leave. We did not order any food or drinks, so I can't speak on that. The ambiance did not make me feel comfortable enough to want to break bread there.

We wandered into Crispy's, and the bartender Jason was super friendly, and we got seats immediately and drinks quickly after that! Ended up doing birthday shots, drinking bottomless mimosas and eating a really great lunch. The food was really good! And very fresh. My friend ordered a roasted beet salad, and I had bruschetta with Prosciutto. So good! I saw a lot of pizza being ordered, and that looked and smelled delicious. Everybody loved their drinks and their food, and the service was totally amazing. We all plan on going back on a Sunday again soon!

Deep rich wood and brick. The perfect place to hang out with friends or watch a game. Really clean. Our service was great. Our waitress checked in with us often and everything came on quickly on a relatively busy day. We ordered the Laura St. pizza. Just the prefect blend of flavors. The pizza is stellar on its own, but the combination of prosciutto, fig, and balsamic just hits every tastebud you have. The crust is the star here though. If you like NY, thin crust style pizza, you'll love this. It is thin, it's crispy, it's delicious on its own. It's a unique texture that I've only found here and I highly encourage you to try it. A truly elevated pizza experience. Don't sleep on Crispy's. It's excellent. I can't wait to go back and try more of what they have.

I can't believe there is BBQ this good in Florida…read more This joint was hopping on a Saturday afternoon. You can order at the counter for take out or dine in. They also have a full service bar where you can order. Brisket sandwich is legit good. But the King Sandwich has cheese sauce, two jalapeño poppers, and smoked sausage for only $2 more. Mac and Cheese is heavy on the cheese and delicious. Potato salad is different. I enjoyed it but the flavor contrasts with the bbq flavors instead of complimenting them. Multiple sauce bottles are available at your table and I was surprised that I enjoyed the western Carolina style the most. Banana pudding was good. I would definitely come back when in JAX.

Smaller price, but smaller beer. Pic attached represents what was handed to me before I took a sip - stingy and flat. Got the burnt ends and jalapeño poppers for an appetizer, and the wings for dinner. Burt ends were delicious, smoky and flavorful. However, poppers and wings were pretty bland. They could have used more seasoning. It's an ok place and definitely very popular. Lots of after work traffic dropping in. I just don't get the appeal of a happy hour short on pour and bland bbq.
