Restaurants near Downtown Jacksonville

“Brick is an oasis in an otherwise dearth of downtown lunch options. The specials are always on point and varied. The staff is super friendly and very efficient. Doing over 100 lunches daily in this tiny little place without making customers have to wait more than maybe 5 minutes for your food is quite impressive! My only complaint is that I wish they were open on Saturdays so that I don't have to blindly wander the downtown streets in desperate search for a decent lunch.”

“Went out for our son’s birthday and could not have been more pleased. Johnny was our server and he truly made the experience so much better. Great personality, and was around when we needed him but was not the “hover” type that seems to only ask questions when you have a mouthful of food lol. You can bet we’ll always ask for him whenever we go to PF Chang’s!”

“I've been wanting to write a review of Persis Indian Grill for a while now, but I wanted to make sure the quality stayed consistent before I did. I'm happy to say that after several visits, both for catering and in-house dining, Persis has consistently impressed me with their amazing food and friendly service.The food here is truly outstanding. One of my absolute favorites is the mirapakaya Kodi vepudu appetizer. It's delicious and flavorful, and it's been consistently good every time I've ordered it. Whether you're dining in or getting takeout, you can always count on Persis to deliver high-quality food.In addition to the amazing food, the service at Persis is also top-notch. Every time we've been there, the manager, Mrs. Gayathri, has been incredibly friendly and helpful. She's always gone above and beyond to make sure we have a great experience, especially when we've dined with our little one.Overall, I can't recommend Persis highly enough. If you're looking for delicious Indian food and friendly service in Jacksonville, this is the place to goVegetarian options: Gobi Manchuria is my go-to appetizer and paneer biryani and veg pulao are amazing”

“Me and my friend enjoyed the Cotton Candy Mosa’s and mini scoop ice creams. I had mines with a shot and it did not overpower or too strong for my ice cream. The customer service was phenomenal.”

“Such a beautiful place to eat with family and friends! amazing food and the service is the best! I highly recommend!!!”

“Fantastic food. Fast, friendly service. I think this is the best restaurant in Jacksonville.”

“Richard was our server and he is amazing! He makes the dining experience great! We got a large NY cheese pizza and whoa this was so good! Our family loves coming here!”

“The tapas are delicious. They just recently changed their happy hour specials, but there are still a few good deals. Happy hour runs from 3-6pm with decent house wines and a plate or two at a discounted price. The service was great, and the food was amazing.”

“I went to Fast Eddy's last night. This place was obnoxiously delicious and knowledgeable and friendly. The owner immediately greeted us. Got our drinks and placed the order for the kiddos. (With a special upgrade for my daughter's burger because she won her volleyball game.) Then he took the time to walk through everything my husband (wheat allergy) and I (Celiacs and Dairy Allergy) could eat. There was a large portion of the menu that we could have. We went with the Beef Tikka and it was FANTASTIC. My husband and I were fussing over who got the leftovers for lunch the next day. This place is amazing. And SAFE. Which means the world to anyone with food allergies. I can't wait to go back.”

“My close friend recommend we try this place out on several occasions, so we finally got around to it. I am not a fan of cats hanging outside the establishment. My husband convinced me to give it a try. I am glad I did!! The food was absolutely delicious! The service was amazing! We will definitely be visiting again. Would have given 5 stars if cat’s weren’t hanging outside.”

“I can’t express how much I enjoy each and every visit I had made so far. I plan to try everything they have on the menu and even the stuff they recommend. Thank you!! Everyone of the employees are amazing! So far I have liked everything that I have ordered except one it wasn’t bad but not for my liking, if that makes sense.”

“First time there and the experience was fantastic. Great food and service. Definitely going back.”

“10/10 super mega awesome great food, friendly staff, clean restaurant, v attentive, mango lassi forever.”

“My brother put me onto this place earlier today. I’m NOT a big dessert guy/ice cream person. Had a custom made pineapple cheesecake shake…..easily one of the best dessert items I’ve ever eaten. It only came second to the most friendly and hospitable owners. They took the time to explain the menu and how things flowed. I’ll be back soon and I’ll bring LOTS of friends. #10/10Experience”

“Lovely owners, delicious cold chocolate, fantastic art everywhere”

“Amazing evening out. Everyone was so friendly as you entered the restaurant. It started with one of the best pomegranate martinis I ever had. Our server Jessica was excellent and all the servers that came to the table paid attention to detail. The most impressive part of the evening was the impeccable style of chef Justin. We had the 6 courses chef’s adventure tasting menu and I cannot say enough about the cuisine. The harmony of flavors and the mastery of technique with the plating presentation was magnificent. The chef came to the table to explain each plate that was presented. He’s very knowledgeable regarding the dishes he prepares and you could see his personality come through in the way the dishes were plated and the flavors that came through with each plate. With the cuisine Justin is preparing this restaurant could be a Michelin star restaurant in notime. By the way I am gluten free so the chef had to make changes to my dishes only. I cannot say enough on how much we enjoyed the entire evening. We will definitely be visiting Matthew’s again.”

“Amazing experience!!!! we did the tasting menu with a bottle of champagne and were blown away. Service and cuisine were exceptional!!!!!”

“We were looking for a place to have Brunch and a lady outside of the restaurant gave us a Menu and invited us to enter. She took care of us and recommended The Scallops, the huevos rancheros, and the ribeye, we really enjoyed a wonderful meal, the atmosphere and the kind waitress. We can not wait to try other dishes”

“One year ago we lost a very dear friend, co-worker, family member and loved one! We went to seasons 52 to celebrate his life and brought with us (his ashes). The staff at seasons 52 town center Jacksonville Florida was amazing and accepted the situation as if he was there! From the bar tender Michael who served him a drink to the receptionist who Renee who made us fell very welcome and treated our friend with respect and dignity to our waiter Blake who also went the extra mile to make our experience exceptional! We would like to recognize these people for helping us make our friends night out so very special we will be back every year because of them and the service, not to mention the food was amazing! Thank you!”

“It was my first time I really like everything that my waitress recommended for me to try will be back”

“Stopped here for a late lunch, and I gotta say, best sandwich place ever. Everything is done in-house except the bread. Cuban was delicious! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and superb sandwiches. Stop in when you're in the neighborhood.”
