    First time at this Loop location but a very big fan of this chain. This Loop location was not up to the standard we expect. Caesar wrap was a woefully small portion. Onion rings were very good! Chicken tenders and fries tasted very old and not fresh. Service was fine but not expecting anything crazy from an order at the counter place. Outside area was under construction but I liked the ambiance otherwise!

    Love The Loop but this location and experience was subpar. Came in with my husband for lunch and we both weren't impressed with our meals. He ordered the Caesar wrap which came out almost like a kids size and way smaller than usual. I got my usual chicken tenders and unfortunately they were overcooked and the fries were cold and looked like they'd been sitting for a long time despite it being busy lunch rush. They are renovating the patio so it was very busy inside and every seat was taken but food still came out fast. The loop is one of our favorite lunch places in Jax so hoping our next experience will be better with quality of food served.

The salads we shared were decent but again nothing special. The atmosphere is nice as you do have a view of the small golf course area. The corkage fee is $25 to bring your own wine, which I did . There is a full bar. The server was very nice and the manager came over to talk to us but we have no plans of going back. Maybe we just caught them on an off night.

We've given 5 star reviews in the past as well.

The staff were friendly but super busy due to inside volume of people. The food looks good and the steak was cooked fine, but the chimichurri had too much oil & fries were super salty. Like it was fried in it and topped off with it... I had let the person who brought the food out know (who works with the chef), and they never offered to bring me different fries. They just said they would tell the kitchen but didn't offer anything and so I didn't eat the fries at all. This plate being $38 before tax, I mean you want good fries....For the drink I got one of their mocktails which honestly was not up to par at all tasting like water and cucumber and nothing else, and I ended up ordering a soda... Again staff are friendly, but if management could pay attention a little more even when they're busy, it would help a lot, especially if someone is not happy with their food. I will not try this place again for a while as there are other places better than this that have similar dishes. Again when people are eating alone or in a group, make them happy with the food please...

She was such a sweetheart, made us feel welcome, and honestly was one of the highlights of our night. We had a lot of fun because of her kindness and great service. Unfortunately, there were two issues that really impacted my experience. First, I had an uncomfortable incident in the restroom. I admit I forgot to lock the stall door, but I was the only person in the restroom, and an employee opened the stall door without knocking or announcing themselves. They stood there for a few seconds before closing the door and leaving. It was embarrassing and made me feel very uncomfortable. We did speak to the manager afterward, and she was very kind and handled the conversation professionally, which I appreciated. The second issue was more concerning. After our meal, both my friend and I became sick. She had the penne pasta, and I had the chicken tenders. While I can't say with certainty what caused it, the timing was concerning enough that I felt it was important to mention. Overall, Mandy's service and the manager's kindness were excellent, but the restroom incident and becoming ill afterward unfortunately affected what otherwise could have been a great experience.

The restaurant itself is pretty, and the food looks fresh and appealing when it comes out. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't quite live up to the presentation. We ordered the crab burger, T's wrap with grilled shrimp, bean salad, cucumber salad, and hush puppies. The crab burger was especially underwhelming and honestly tasted like very little. We even added extra sweet bam bam sauce to try to give the fried crab patty some kind of boost, but it still didn't do much for the flavor. T's wrap was better. The grilled shrimp and fresh salad-style filling made it light and enjoyable, but it still was not especially memorable. The fried hush puppies were also pretty bland, and there are definitely other spots that do both much better. The standout items, outside of the drinks, were the bean salad and cucumber salad. Both of those had the seasoning and flavor we were hoping for, and we genuinely enjoyed them more than the main dishes. We came during happy hour, and that ended up being the high point of the visit. The watermelon lemonade was delicious, and the piña colada, while not included in happy hour pricing, was exactly what we wanted. Both drinks were well made and definitely not light on the liquor, which was a major plus. So, would we come back? For happy hour drinks, yes. For the salads, maybe. For seafood, probably not when there are better options nearby.

We found parking pretty easily, then headed to the back to try and grab a seat at the bar. We lucked out and they had one seat, so I took the seat and my husband stood. I ordered a beer, and so did my husband. Staff was quick to grab our order. The view was great. They even had screens that they pulled down at the bar, so the sun wasn't hitting us too badly (it gets SUPER HOT, so it's a great feature). We saw they had a happy hour menu, with deals on some of their apps. We ordered the fish bites. I've had fish bites other places before and had an idea in my head of what I thought these would be. These weren't what I thought. They were cut into triangles. Now the presentation wasn't great, when they first brought them out I thought they were chicken nuggets. When I had one, it was good. It was pretty simple (salt/pepper, didn't look like any breding) and a roumalade sauce that was a bit spicier than I anticipated. I will say that in regards to food and beverage, you're paying for the view. The beer was pretty pricey, so just beware. I got to see some birds and the view from the water was nice.

I got here as they opened on Sunday, and it got packed relatively quickly. I'd recommend having a reservation if you're planning to visit during busier timeframes like this. I was seated promptly by attentive staff, and quickly had both food and drink menus to begin ordering. I was looking for something tasty without being too heavy, and settled on the Little Hans Vienna Lager along with the 8 oz steak burger and fries. The beer had amazing flavor similar to Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager with a good, crisp finish. The burger meal, described with "Tillamook cheddar cheese, caramelized onion & bacon jam, beef fat aioli, grilled potato roll, truffle fries", was arguablely the best burger and fries I've ever had in my life. Everything tasted fresh, and the flavor of the wood-fired grill certainly complemented the meat. The house-made pickles were a great touch to add another layer of complexity to the burger. I could tell the fries were fresh cut and never frozen. The truffle oil made these even more amazing. The manager offered and brought a special sauce to try that they normally serve with their chicken chicken sandwich that was superbly tasty and tangy. More than impressed with my entree, I elected to try a desert and was recommended the S'mores pie by my waitress. The deliciously buttery crust was my favorite part of the ensemble and blended well with the savory chocolate filling topped with a toasted marshmallow. While a bit pricey for lunch compared to most places, I was more than satisfied with the offerings provided here and would love to visit Ember and Iron again.
