It was recommended that we give the loop a try, and we're glad we did! Quaint little restaurant with casual decor and oldies playing in the background. Fast service, and delicious burgers cooked to perfection. Wanted to try the pizza, but will have to wait until next time. Definately recommend if you're in the area. read more

The Loop is a casual and family friendly restaurant in San Marco that has something for everyone at a reasonable price point. You order at the counter, get a buzzer, grab your drink (Coke products, tea and water) and find your seat. Typically, by the time you sit down, your buzzer is going off. The menu features, appetizers (pub-grub), salads, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, milkshakes and desserts. Everything is elevated from what you'd get at a chain. Yesterday, I tried the Cajun chicken sandwich. Nice flavor, slightly crispy, nice honey mustard sauce as well. The fries are really thick and good, the onion rings were really a pleasant surprise. We'll be back. The Loop is a solid, casual dining experience in the San Marco area. It won't disappoint. read more

Stopped in for lunch and brought my incredibly picky mom. She ordered the cheese burger and she complimented every bite! I was overjoyed that I found a place she likes but in all seriousness, I've never had a bad meal at this location. I had the Asian chicken salad. It was good, but could have used a bit more dressing. It wasn't too loud even at lunchtime and the wait was not long for our food. read more

One of my favorite places to grab lunch or dinner. My top favorite items are the tomato bisque and the French fries. The tomato bisque is so tasty and comes with a crispy piece of bread. The French fries are so good and I recommend trying them with their ranch. read more

Good food, friendly service, reasonable prices. The grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and delicious. Steak fries were crispy and the onion rings were too. Order at the counter, your you table beeper lets you know when your food is ready. Self serve fountain drinks make refills easy too. Table and booth seating, along with tables outside for warmer weather. read more

THE LOOP RESTAURANT - *Chicken & Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Craving for Pizza this Friday night so we tried The Loop. It's a self service restaurant where all orders and payment are done by the counter and the place has a lot of sitting capacity and few outdoor seats. We ordered half and half of Artichoke & Bacon and Fennel Sausage & Goat Cheese with additional beef plus their Great American Cheeseburger. The latter was just ok, while the pizza served to us seems to be wrong as there's no trace of mushroom, tomato, and the additional beef toppings. They were able to correct it by serving just the Fennel Sausage & Goat Cheese. We also paired it with drinks that doubled as dessert, got the Strawberry Milkshake with cherry on top which also comes with a quarter full tall glass of its refill. While it was a self service restaurant, the crews were attentive to check what each table needs and there were 3 occasions when they were looking for who ordered an unclaimed item. Make sure to check if they got your orders correct whether it's for dine-in or to go. read more

I wanted to wait to write this review but my experience today made me have to... Have been going here for years and yet, their quality of service in the kitchen and behind the counter has gone down... Hiring young people and or people that really don't care and are doing minimum besides the table busters (who do their job)... It seems during the week the staff are not as efficient or reliable as the weekend ones as the weekend ones have people who are more older and or experienced! I went in for me and my son to get a burger and chicken tenders with a shake... I took over 30mintues of waiting for the food, so I had to ask to take it togo. If they did not make it literally in the next 10 min from then, I was going to ask for my money back! Other people were waiting and I could tell. A group of 4 teenagers where two kids got their food 15min before others and none of them got pizza or other things which usually take longer at the loop. Or couple waiting on their phones where they could see a whole episode of a tv show waiting for their food. The place was not even as full as the weekends... I told the front why I wanted it to go and that it was taking a long time. I got a quick "ya I know I'm sorry" from the front girl but that was it. They had like 2-3 people in the kitchen working on togo orders not focusing on who is actually in the restaurant. These people were laughing and taking it easy like they were high or just too comfortable. There is a reason this is a local place and we expect a local vibe for our kids and not want to go to McDonald's or fast food with chemicals but this was ridiculous. Got my food togo after waiting 40minutes total only to open it to have 2 chicken tenders and barely any fries in each togo meal... THIS PLACE HAS TO GET BETTER TRAINED STAFF OR MANAGEMENT. Quality of food is still ok which is why today got 2 stars but ya, it's has gone downhill and this is the 6 time this year, they have taken forever and we have had to wait as if we were at a fancy restaurant... This is not a gourmet place and thus should not take this long. Goodluck loop! read more

I don't usually try things my mom doesn't cook but have down, the best tomato bisque soup ever. Period.

Food is really good! Service is fast and friendly. A nice place to go in or sit outside. We love the real beef burgers - my first burger was accurately medium rare so the next time I went I had to tell them medium. read more

The staff was super sweet and attentive. Our cheese burgers were cooked to perfection and the buns toasted just right! The onion rings were the best I have ever had. The crispness was perfect! The atmosphere is laidback. The decor has the cutest farm animal pics on the wall! read more

Went with friends to this place , as they said it's the best burger in Jax , they definitely hit the mark, the wife and I really enjoyed the burgers. Our friends ordered a pizza also , to be honest , I liked the pizza more than my bbq bacon burger. Now don't get me wrong , it was a good burger... just was expecting more of a wow factor .. read more

My family of 6 went to The Loop for lunch. We were impressed. In total, we had pizzas, burgers, chicken sandwich, fries, onion rings, and a salad. Everything was great. Very fresh tasting. It's hard to find a restaurant my kids can all eat at and all enjoy. Various size table inside with ability to accommodate a group of 8 (maybe 10) at the same table. Beer/wine available. We will be returning. read more

Great lunch restaurant! Burger and onion rings were both grilled/fried perfectly, while my friend enjoyed the new Pinsa Pizza. Delicious crust! read more

This is a good local place - you know what to expect, and by that, I mean a yummy meal at a decent price. I like to eat vegetarian, and their Veggie Ciabatta was big enough for two meals for me. My son likes big juicy burgers, and that's one of the things they're known for. I like the choice of sides without an up charge! The warm blue cheese chips are a nice change from fries. I haven't been to this location for a few years, and it appears they remodeled. The interior has a sleek, minimalist look to it. We sat outside. You're pretty much on a sidewalk next to the road, but I'm still glad to have this option. A nice variety of choices on the menu. I think you could find something to satisfy anyone in your group. They have a kid's menu too. :) read more

It's been a Long time since I'd been here as I moved. It used to be Chicago style and was awesome. They have radically changed their style, but not their quality and service. Still a great pizza. Mine had pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage and goat cheese. I don't eat a lot of salt, so maybe it was me. But the goat cheese seemed a little salty. They might have put feta l, which is a little more salty. That being said, it was still a great pizza. Awesome service as well. Very friendly and helpful. read more

Went to a buddies house not too long ago and they served up some pizza from here. It was amazing so I decided to go back for more. Went yesterday and ordered a cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza, a gluten free pepperoni pizza, the farmhouse pizza and some o rings. We also got a Oreo milkshake. Everything was top notch. All the ingredients were fresh, the crust was light and airy the way I love it and the o rings were fried to perfection. The staff are nice and welcoming also. If I were to change anything, it would probably be the fact that the simple pizzas are more expensive because they are considered build your own. A regular pepperoni pizza is $12.49 because it's a build your own then add pep, when other pizzas are $10.99. That's a small thing but it adds up when you keep going back :). I look forward to going back and trying other things on the menu. The ambiance of the place is regular. It's a regular order and eat joint. The guy that was waiting on people was a cool older guy that made jokes to make time pass by while waiting. Pretty neat. Definitely would recommend stopping by if you haven't already. read more

When I'm in San Marco, I keep coming back and back and back for the Gorgonzola Walnut Salad. (I also always add Cajun Chicken.) How can a salad be that good that it's worth having several times a week??? It is filling and they make it just right! I LOVE this place - always have and always will! read more

I love that The Loop is on one of my delivery apps! I wanted pizza today and that's exactly what I got. A wonderful Mediterranean pizza full of so much flavor and loaded with toppings. I was also craving something sweet and their Oreo shake never disappoints! read more

What's not to love... well... maybe the parking situation but I'll over look parking for this San Marco Loop any day because of the consistent quality of food, clean environment, friendly staff, cool ambience, and neighborhood feel. Seriously!! Every time I've visited the San Marco Loop location I've run into people I know... and like. :) This loop has been renovated. It's got a funky décor and feel. I like the tomato soup and walnut salad. My niece likes the chicken tenders, fries, and shakes. My sister enjoys a burger. We visit, we eat, and we are satisfied. That's why I like it. Sometimes you just wanna go and grab some delicious comfort food. I know this location can get very busy and maybe they could have been more attentive when getting the food out or remembering to give my niece her shake... but... I'm gonna chalk that up to .. "that's life". It's part of the process at this Loop which can be a little frustrating but if you hang out for a while and get to know some of locals you won't notice such things as a long wait or forgotten items. read more

So this review has start with what I perceive to be the highlight of my visit and that was Lauren. Such a beautiful smile she greeted me with in an upbeat tone and asked how I was this evening. I have to be honest I truly believed in the sincerity of her question. Customer service is the ultimate Experience that can make or break a visit. The loop truly needs to commend Lauren and utilize his example of how to greet the customer and make the customer feel valued. She was also very good with taking my order to make sure that it was correct repeating back to me what it was and asking open ended questions. Now for the discussion on the Portabella melt. The grilled onions I will start with added such flavor. The melted cheese perfect not over done in the Portabella was excellent In the garlic mayo truly add it to the experience.I decided to behave myself and do the broccoli rather than the french fries I love their french fries extra crispy. However for a better nutrition I went with broccoli and I have to say it was steaming hot crunchy and fresh. Overall two thumbs up read more

I am very surprised with the rating for this place. Maybe the revamped the place, the management, something... because my food was delicious. I got a Cajun salmon sandwich and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The fries were really good, as well as the onion rings (but the fries is where the money is at). The other sandwiches were legit also, as stated by my crew. Coming back soon! read more

Although ordering takeout took forever (or at least felt like an eternity), The Loop gets four stars for cranking out two yummy meals on the cheap. The Loop is one of those Jax staples that I typically overlook. Not for a specific reason, just because there are so many unique burger and pizza joints in the 904. Once we placed our order, we waited no more than 10 minutes, grabbed our food and hit the road. The burger represents everything about a classic American Cheeseburger. Lettuce, tomato, onions, sesame seed bun, and a juicy, crisp burger patty. Seriously juicy! My only critique? It's more on the unseasoned side, as compared to a more adventurous burger. Fries are good, they're thick cut and remind me of Too-Jays. Props to their vegetarian option, which I ended up having a few bites of the following day and it was freakin' delicious! I ain't kidding, this gargantuan concoction was the real deal. Overall, the restaurant is clean and well-kept, as it recently received an overhaul. When we visited, the temperature was so cold I had to step outside. Normally, I'm sweating on the reg! Take yourself for a loop, why don't ya? read more

My husband had been here before and liked their burger. I was skeptical because it looked a little expensive, and, unfortunately, the food was not worth the money. I asked for a regular make-your-own pizza (I only like cheese on my pizza), but they charged us for a Pinsa pizza, which is more expensive and very thin crust. It tasted good, but it cost ~11 bucks for a cracker crust with cheese on it. I was still hungry afterward. My husband's bacon cheeseburger was good, but still pricey for what it was. Bottom line: expensive and still hungry afterward; got our order wrong read more

Ordered a burger, medium, with fries and a milkshake for takeout. Told 20 min for food to be ready. I was there in 15 and everything was already ready. They almost forgot the milkshake, which was in a cooler. Got home less than 3 min away.... There were 6 French fries. Obviously old, soggy and almost cold. Burger bun was a soaked pile of mush. Burger was almost rare (don't get me wrong, a good medium rare steak is great, but this was way undercooked), and the shake was almost entirely chocolate syrup. Won't be back read more

While trekking across J'ville it seems theres always a Loop nearby. I was in the area and luckily snagged a parking spot so I parked and took a stroll. The next thing I know, Bam! The Loop, right in front of me. Once inside I found the usual array of booths and tables and the counter in the back where you order. Determined to try something new from the menu. This time, a burger. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, medium well and it includes lettuce, tomato and raw onion. You also get your choice of chips or fries, I went chips. They give you a buzzer and your drink cup and then you venture out and find your own table. Thankfully I beat the lunch crowd by minutes because the place filled up and the line was out to the front door quickly. About 10-12 mins and my buzzer went off. I grabbed my grub and got her back to the table for a quick observation and photo opp before digging in. It was delicious! I ditched 1/2 of the bread and devoured the rest of it. Cooked to perfection and satisfied my taste buds! Great job again to The Loop team. Restaurant was clean, service was great and my food was amazing! read more

Well they finally got the food to us and it was a delivery type bag full of Styrofoam containers. I did not order Styrofoam containers! Then, instead correcting the presentation. I am left with three dinners. 1 cold, the other two without plates, ko service, no concern. I have been going to this loop for 40 years and never have I had stupid behavior. Kids running around, jumping from area to area. 30 minutes for 3 hamburgers read more

the first time I went there the Pizza was amazing the shakes the burgers the chicken ceasar salad but after a while it started to fall off I was really disappointed.and I'm sorry I believe is the people you hire.you have to hire people that cares about there employment and about other people's food.i was just there today and the pizza was done like if the person didn't even cared of what she was serving the sauce water water down.please you have a nice chain going on.hire good people that will put there heart into there jobs. read more

I got a pizza with pepperoni and sausage. It wasn't as good as I thought when I tasted one last time, but was still probably above average. I prefer more sauce and toppings, all the way to the edge. The pepperoni was quite good, the sausage I didn't really notice. The dining room wasn't that crowded, but was still a bit too noisy because of the music. read more

Awesome Burger. Great ambiance! Price wasn't too bad . Love the friendly staff . Within walking distance of my Job

Living in the San Marco area, The Loop is, and has been, one of our "go-tos" for years. A great option to stop in or take out on a busy school or work night. With three teenagers and two adults ordering, I can say with 80% certainty that we have ordered and tried most of their menu! Of course, we all have our favorites: kids tend to be big fans of the burgers, fries and pizzas. Hubby and I tend to be more on the salad side of things, with the Greek Salad and Chicken Caesar leading the way. Their Caesar dressing is always on point, just enough anchovy to make it interesting, but not so much that you get an overly-fishy taste. If you are a soup fan, let us take a moment to let you know that the Tomato Bisque you'll find here is one of the best in town, with a rich, creamy consistency that never fails. And yes, we have been known to request extra croutons on the top... And of course, what would this review be if we didn't mention their hand-dipped shakes? These we tend to get only when we dine in, because there is something about scooping out a big heap of Oreo and chocolate shake from that big metal container... oh yeah! We have tried all flavors, though, and all are exceptional. Here's the bottom line: while The Loop may not going to surprise you with their culinary experimentation, what they WILL do is delight you with their excellent execution of good, flavorful, fresh food. And that is why it has been one of our family favorites for years and will continue to be so! A staple that is highly regarded in the community and has definitely earned that title. read more

We went to The Loop after many years away from Jacksonville, hoping to have the fries we remembered. We were met with cold, basic, unsalted steak fries. The burger was okay, but just a burger. I asked the cashier what the difference between a cheeseburger and 'The Loop Burger' was and she couldn't tell me. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

I think this is my second Yelp review about this location. I love the loop. But this location is terrible. Foods mediocre and the service is terrible. My cashier tonight was sweet. I came close to closing (which I thought was at 10 according to maps but it's at 9) and the ovens and fryer were down but that's okay, I wanted pizza. I ordered my cheese pizza with some toppings, one including chicken. My pizza came out 25 minutes later with literally 2 tiny pieces of chicken on it. If I'm paying $1 a topping it better be enough I feel like. So I said something and all the manager had to say to me was "if you want more you can pay 1.59 since the chicken is weighed" Maybe once there's new management I'll return. read more

If I could give them 0 in service I would. It is 2:40 in the afternoon and I waited 25 Minutes for food and everyone was complaining. Avoid it if you are In a hurry or hungry. This place ha e gotten no better. Waited 20 minutes at 11:30 and geezzz could they spare the fries. I think I got 8 or 9. read more

I don't know if this was an off night but I will never give them another chance at my business.

Thanks but No thanks! never again! read more

A little bit of a smell always hits me when I walk in the Loop/San Marco that is probably due to the old building. Not my favorite smell. The tomato bisque is always very good. The burger was okay but it lacked a little pizzazz; there were literally 8 fries (see pic) on my plate. I questioned how barren my entree looked; they did explain that they weigh each portion of fries out and this was the correct weight. Just lacked presentation. read more
