    Barely any mayo ....  Also, the onion rings were over seasoned and a bit greasy
    Ana K.

    I really hate to complain since most of the time I order here or the other in wgv area and it's usually good. Ate in earlier this evening around 445-5pm and disappointed as we ordered medium and was both a little under done. Also, they were stingy with the mayo. And when we asked for some extra mayo was handed one pack ... As well as we both ordered onion rings and were given only one sauce which was fine since it also was not as good as usual. It wasn't that busy and their were plenty of staff on hand.

    We stumbled across this place and decided to try it out, it was surprisingly good decent pizza, burger and salad. Burger medium well cooked, juicy with delicious mushrooms, served with sweet potato waffle fries, so crispy and full of flavors. Pecan vegan salad was also a hit for me, I ate the whole thing in seconds, wish the portion was bigger. My little ones had cheese pizza, again, loved it and they are everything so fast.

    This loop is AWESOME!!! Scott and Carlos are fantastic when I had a problem Carlos helped me out and Scott was the one who my food which was absolutely delicious. 10/10 Will definitely come back!!

    My daughter and I were pressed for time but definitely needed sustenance so we tried The Loop in the plaza at the western end of Race Track Road (Publix in the plaza). She got an individual pizza and I ordered the Turkey wrap. It was all tasty and quick, except that the avocado slices I ordered as an extra element in the wrap were missing. I didn't make a thing of it because we were short on time. But, definitely check that you get all your extras. This is convenient to my new living area so I will try them again!

    Portobello and bacon pizza. I don't even know if there was pesto or bacon on this thing I couldn't taste it.

    My review is for the San Jose blvd location. Awful! Just awful. First things first, when operating a business you want to be sure to open when you say you open. So if it says you open at 11 AM that doesn't mean 1101 it doesn't mean 1102 that means 11 AM.... me and two other customers showed up at exactly 11 and we all have the same time on our cell phone. I was the first one to the door but couldn't get in because it was locked so I went back to my vehicle then after a minute or two I got back out and the two other customers made it in before me which meant instead of ordering first like I would have I had to order behind them, which means longer wait time for my food. The only really good thing about the restaurant was the employees were polite. There is music going on at the same time as a TV so if you're dining in, I wouldn't say the ambience there is soothing. I mean, if you're going to have some kind of auditory stimulation going on pick one or the other, but not both at the same time. If you don't like being recorded by some stranger behind a lens, you might not want to dine in. There is a camera pointed in the dining area. The worst part of all though was what I ordered. I ordered an 8 inch pizza and it was the worst pizza I ever had. Bland, bland bland. The whole thing was bland, even the crust. And I wasn't satiated at all. I actually had to go to another restaurant so I could feel satiated. It cost me almost 12 bucks for this tiny pizza. I could've gone to Domino's and had a delicious pizza for less money and Domino's is right across the street. I for sure won't be back.

    The Loop is a consistent dining option in the Fruit Cove/Julington Creek Area. Great menu options include burgers, pizza, grilled fish and chicken with fresh salads and sides. Food is cooked to order and always hot and fresh. My favorite is their grilled chicken sandwich, well seasoned and is juicy and tender. It includes your choice of a side item, steak fries are always a great choice. Fruit or side salad are also options. Clean restaurant, newly remodeled with TV's. Convenient location with fast friendly service.

    Glad they still have the white fish option at this location - not on the menu. Extra blackened.  $9.99.
    Edward A.

    Not all Loops are created equal. Thankfully this location close to home is one that has remained consistent. I also appreciate the fact that they keep the whitefish sandwich as an option at this location since its not on the menu. Overall a good experience and their burgers are always good. Simple menu but they do everything right. Too bad the deep dish pizza is no longer an option. Nonetheless if you want a level up from fast food, the Loop is a good choice.

    This is one of my go to restaurants! It's right across the road from work! This location has great parking, being part of a strip mall. I like the service here. The staff is very nice, and the food is always good. Some of my favorite food is... 1. Ahi Tuna Sandwich! (Not on the menu, but always available) 2. Blue cheese chips 3. Cajun Jack Burger 4. Nutella milkshake They get a 4 because the bathrooms need an update. They aren't terribly old, but they are old enough they don't feel clean either.

I added the sauces to add flavor and heat. All in all, it was too much in one sitting so I took it home. I would recommend additional seasoning for the seafood & a lemon to squeeze over it and wake up the flavor.

The outside seating with live music and the kids play area totally caught me off guard because I have driven by there 1000 times and never realized that it was so big. It definitely does not look so from the front. When I ordered, they asked me if it was my first time, and I said yes. I ordered the Calabrian wings and the V Special wings and a pie.

I thought that was such an amazing gesture that you just don't see anymore. The Stromboli was out of this world. Then they brought the wings. My favorite wings since I've arrived in Florida. I've always been at gators dockside. I still love them, but these wings are definitely my favorite by far. That was surprising to say the least. They brought the pizza and I will say that it was good but not great. But all in all, the experience was outstanding and definitely a surprise.

I ordered a lemon drop martini. My drink was made well and was cold. When we were seated, we looked over the menu. There menu hasn't really changed too much. We opted to start with fried pickles and split a wedge salad. My sister and her husband each had a salad. My sister had the burata and her husband had the ranch. Our apps/salads came out quickly. The wedge salad was cool and crisp. I wish it had more pieces of bacon, the bacon looked a bit sparse. The fried pickles were great. I loved the light crisp batter on them and the ranch dip had a bit of a kick to it. For dinner I got the braised short ribs, my husband and brother in law both got the chimichurri steak, and my sister got the pork schnitzel. I've been looking forward to the braised short ribs all week. I was a bit disappointed that when I bit in, it appeared to be pretty bland. Normally when I get this meal it's bursting with flavor. My husband and BIL enjoyed their steaks. My sister enjoyed her schnitzel, but said the pork could have been a bit thinner. We ended the meal with their skillet cookie. Typically the cookie comes out piping hot, but on this occassion, while the skillet was hot, the cookie wasn't. We'll give them another shot, but I was a bit disappointed this time around.
