Restaurants in Fernandina Beach

“Amazing! I have forgotten our servers name, but she made our night as my husband and I were there for our honeymoon, and she was so nice and professional. We ordered the PAELLA RUSTICA for the entree, and that was fantastic! And we also ordered the seared calamari for our tapas and again, that was also fantastic! Our dessert was their tres leches and that was just out of this world yummy! 10/10 I would recommend anyone to go here.”

“We really loved the restaurant that used to occupy this charming location so we weren’t expecting anything, and we were woefully underinformed and so delighted with Indigo. The server was knowledgeable and friendly but not hovering… but the food…Everyhing was a slam dunk. Duck, salmon, escargot, bacon, butter cake-all truly incredible. We will enthusiastically be back again and again!”

“Always great food and service.”

“Best customer service ever! The food is great. It has a nice playground in the back for the kids. The owner is a great guy and is very involved in his business and helps lead his staff. We got exceptional customer service. The kids and the whole family love coming here!”

“Delicious Empanadas! The Cuban Sandwich was great!”

“Outstanding menu! Everything fresh! The best Margarita since San Antonio! Excellent service! 5 Stars!”

“Our server was fantastic and very knowledgeable of the menu specials. I unfortunately forgotten his name, but he was very sweet and made our honeymoon very special. We ordered the grilled gem salad and he was very sweet enough to split that for his as our appetizer. I hade ordered the Salmon Crispy Skin and my husband ordered the Steak Frites and everything was just out of this world delicious! We both were recommended the pineapple cider for our drinks and he did not disappoint with the flavors. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone, and thank you to our server for making our honeymoon more memorable.”

“We visit Amelia Island multiple times per year and experienced Hola Cuban Cafe for the first time this trip down- exceptional coffee and food! We’ll be back!”

“This place is extremely tasty, I have been craving it BAD during this pregnancy. Nathalie is such a kind sweet soul and such a hard worker, she is always making sure everyone is happy in there. Dee is also so awesome in there and so sweet and kind. If you go anywhere in Fernandina make sure you go HERE”

“Quick 20 minute wait to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather with one of the best sangrias I’ve ever had, accompanied by the most handsome man I’ve ever met and the most delicious Shrimp Salad Sandwich. The music and atmosphere were the cherry on top. Ask for Amy Jo!”

“Do not walk away if you see a line to get in. The service is fast and the food is excellent! I definitely recommend having lunch there.”

“Visited for the first time this weekend blown away by the hospitality owner and staff went above and beyond ! If you're looking for a great experience this is the place ! Will be back -Sydney”

“We had the most pleasant experience at The Patio 5th & Ash! Our server, Brooke was amazing and top notch making sure we were well taken care of during our dining experience. We had the shrimp and grits which were outstanding!! We will definitely be going back soon and will be asking to sit in her area.”

“I'm visiting FL and wanted a sushi experience. My friend and I found Yummy Sushi and had lunch there. The sushi was really good. Our server was also very attentive. We got lunch specials and they're worth it!!”

“The white hair guy is horrible! I think his name is Wesley? He yells at the servers! We won’t be back until he is gone! Get rid of him! He’s mean to your staff.”

“Best coffee in town, honestly! Fresh baked goodies and even sammies. Large space with lovely architecture. Perfect for your meeting or Bible study group. Owners care about you and your soul. 🥰”

“My favorite bar probably in the world. Great vibe normally playing live music such as blues, country, old school rock and so on. All outdoors with a small indoor bar area just a great place”

“Our grandkids loved this - and we loved watching them. One suggestion - gutters guards in the gutters (like the big lanes do) to cut down on frustration! Happier kids = happier adults = more returning customers!!!”

“The best place in town for coffee!”

“Delicious lobstah rolls and nice atmosphere!”

“dang good pizza and best bang for your buck!”

“New to the island .. came across this place and was pleasantly impressed not surprised! The menu isn’t huge but it doesn’t need to be .. ordered lemon chicken soup and Mediterranean veggie soup very tasty, not salty at all. Then we had the lamb gyro and a meatball pita w Greek vin sauce .. again a handheld sandwich full of yummy ingredients .. an ipa and wine to enhance our meal.. we will definitely be back!!”

“We loved the unique touches that make this bar unique. We sat at the bar and were chatting with some of the locals. The bartender was attentive and made some delicious drinks. We got to meet PJ and his dog. Will definitely go back next time we are in town.”

“Customer service was great! Food was delicious. Would definitely recommend! And Nettie ( sorry if I spelled it wrong) was very helpful”

“We have eaten here on Sunday for brunch several times. Fabulous service and the food never fails to be delicious no matter what we order. My favorite, French toast, melts in your mouth. My husbands favorite, steak and eggs, is wonderful. Such a nice atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Thanks to all!”

“Best Italian Restaurant in North Florida , what a delicious dinner , the lasagna was delicious and the seafood pasta fantastic.I highly recommend .”

“the absolute 2 best pasta dishes my wife and I have ever had were devoured last evening. After a long day we didn't feel like going out and decided to pick up and take home. Everything bite was perfect. I can not recommend this place enough. The highest rating is well deserved.”

“My daughter and I stopped in here for a girls night dinner. We ordered several items off of the small plates section and the food was phenomenal! Wish I could’ve eaten more. I’m not a beer drinker but cocktails were yummy also. Nice, clean environment and friendly staff! We will be back next trip!”

“Great spot for bar food! The chicken nachos and bacon tots were tasty, and the beer selection was solid with a good tap. Service was friendly and attentive. Only a couple of minor issues – there were a few bugs flying around, and one unfortunately landed in our nachos. It’d also be nice if the bar area had larger TVs or a few more for a better viewing experience. Overall, still a good place to grab a bite and some drinks in a laid-back atmosphere!”

“We live in NC and tried Akari while visiting family in FL and it was SO good! Some of the best sushi we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in town!”

“Open past 9 pm it was truly very lucky for us to have decided to try out the Lucky Wok. I had the orange chicken and an egg roll. The lady taking orders is absolutely a sweetheart! Friendly service and delicious food :)”

“Awesome food and service!!!”

“We dined for brunch on 3/9/24 and had an absolutely wonderful experience. It was a VERY rainy morning which meant there were no outdoor tables for anyone. There must have 10 people waiting for a table in their reception area at the time of our reservation. In spite of this, the staff remained smiling and cheerful while they delivered a great dining experience. Their hostess worked very hard to communicate the status of everyone’s place in line along with those customers who had made reservations as well, again with a very pleasant demeanor. Now to the food! They have quite possibly the best French Toast I have ever had. The brioche bread was thick and perfectly prepared. My wife had their Caprese omelette and cheese grits which was also just terrific. The wait staff were attentive without overdoing things. Coffee cups never got empty before a refill was offered. One of our group was a tea drinker and she had a teapot of hot water and tea bags seemingly within seconds of ordering. The highlight of the meal came when we mentioned that one of our diners (the lady with the tea) was celebrating her birthday. The owner of the restaurant, a lovely woman, came out and actually gave gifted her the tea service that was on our table! She would not hear of us paying for the set and said she wanted to make a gift of the set. Completely unexpected!! I cannot recommend this restaurant any higher. In spite of a very difficult morning, none of which was their doing, the staff and management made everyone’s morning better!”

“I recently dined at Oceanside Restaurant in Omni Resort, Amelia Island, and it was a truly relaxing experience, mainly due to its perfect location right in front of the sea. The oceanfront view creates a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to sit back, unwind, and enjoy a meal with a loved one. The sound of the waves and the ocean breeze really added to the charm, and it’s hard to beat such a beautiful setting for a meal.As for the food, I ordered the grain salad, which was a mix of grains and vegetables. While it was fresh and healthy, the flavors didn’t quite meet my expectations. It lacked the depth and seasoning that would have made it more memorable. The shrimp, on the other hand, was well-cooked and flavorful, a definite highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the calamari didn’t live up to the same standard—it was a bit bland and lacked the crispness I was hoping for.Despite the mixed experience with the food, the overall ambiance of the restaurant made it a pleasant visit. The service was attentive, and the setting was perfect for a relaxing evening. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic spot to enjoy a meal with a stunning ocean view, Oceanside Restaurant is definitely worth visiting, even if the food could use a bit more attention to flavor.”

“Visiting friends and suggested Chinese food. I love Asian cuisine and this place did not disappoint. It is take out only so there is no buffet but the food was amazing. Portions were amazing as well. So much food. The crab Rangoon was some of the best I've had. Everything tasted freshly cooked and was still very hot when we got back to my friends place. I would say this is a must try if you are visiting.”

“Amazing food. Had the Hawaiian pizza and bruschetta - both prepared perfectly Friendly, attentive waitress - Lisa”

“Went there yesterday-FABULOUS! Solved my menu selections on the spot for an upcoming wine and cheese party. Will be coming back for sure!!!!!”

“Just getting back from a visit and so thankful I brought a big box of goodies to enjoy today. Went every day to Nana Teresa’s because they are that good!! Oh and the customer service.. excellent as well!! Do yourself a favor and check them out! Can’t wait for my next visit!”

“Amazing sandwiches. the staff is welcoming, friendly, and kind Although we are heading home, we definitely be back next visit.”

“Absolutely amazing!! We had an amazing waitress and overall was super good.”

“This is the best gourmet hotdog I’ve ever had in my life. Stop by on the way to the beach.! The staff is very personable comes out and talks to you. Make sure that all your needs are met. Great service. You don’t expect from a food cart.”

“Jersey Mike's always reliable when hungry, tired, and don't feel like cooking a late dinner. The large turkey club sub with bacon on fresh parmesean bread is my favorite treat. The moist double chocolate brownie bar finishes off the meal with a glass of goat milk.”

“Summer was an awesome server! Thank you summer”

“Food was great! Very fresh!”

“Great sushi on Amelia Island! 🍣🏝”

“Could not order a 1/2 lb of ham buy it's self. So ordered a sandwich which was delivered 1/2 of meat. My dog ate really good and the left over for me was a tomato sandwich”

“We have been enjoying, the snack foods and full meals, besides our drinks during( It's 5 o'clock somewhere classes)... every other Wednesday night. The Alley is a fantastic Host for our Art Classes... and a perfect location for a small party or gathering... TV, Music, own bar tender, plenty of seating... lovely atmosphere, great in-house Beer too!”

“Had an amazing lunch with our friend visiting from Oklahoma. Our server, Heidi took great care of us. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly. Al Motola”

“You can't go wrong with the hidden crowd. All of the plates I saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious. The plate that came to my table was 30 shrimp for around $17. That's a lot of shrimp for a real bargain. You get two sides also. These people know how to cook and they have hired people who know how to take care of their customers. It is a wonderful place. Best fried shrimp on the planet!

Parking: Caution! The potholes in the parking lot are larger than some of the cars I see you driving. Be careful!”

“We were staying at the Omni and chose this restaurant for our anniversary dinner. This is the cutest restaurant! Everything was delicious! The steak was the best we ever had. This location is a must if you are visiting Amelia Island!”

“Best coffee and friendly people!!”

“This is a great store. But this review is to say they are such nice people. I was looking for a specific gift this past Christmas that I thought they would have, but they didn't carry. They were very helpful in pointing out one of their competitors a few blocks down that could help me. Very much appreciated!”

“Despite being in a Harris Teeter, this was one of the cleanest, neatly organized and best experiences I’ve had.Sonya is clearly a professional and even though her fellow employees had not shown up to work yet and she was by herself I still received my order faster than I ever have.Superior service with a smile, what more could you ask for? I hope Starbucks knows what a valuable team member they have here.”

“Haven’t had subway in a while, but went in today for a spicy Italian, and everything from the service to the sandwich was great. Friendly employees doing everything right. I’ll definitely be coming back again!”

“First time visitors. A welcome stop in a hectic day. Cute decoration, comfy chairs. Like the industrial vibe, but it made a bit of an echo. Staff was friendly and speeds. Customers were relaxed and seemed to be enjoying hanging out. Plenty of room for oeople with mobility needs. Chairs were solid and comfortable. My peppermint mocha coffee was awsome. Bathrooms were large and clean. Great selection of baked goods.#ADA #coffee #service #peppermint”

“I went to the restaurant. I can’t speak to the hotel services. Food and service were good. My three year old LOVED to games area in the restaurant. I would come back if I were in the area.”

“I accually was at the Baskin Robbins and I love their ice-cream...and oddly enough...they had regular chocolate and vanilla...and could make a delicious milkshake....I am glad to see them still around they are tops in my book”

“10/18 at around 7pm girl taking order was not good at her job and was rude. I noticed several people saying the order was for dine in and they made it to go. I came back up and asked for ketchup and she asked another associate to fill my request which I had to repeat.
Need better training!!!”

“Enjoyed a cheeseburger and blizzard. Was just coming off of the beach so ate outside, but it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Just simple enjoyment after an enjoyable day outside. People who took our order were nice and the location felt safe and clean.”

“Today I ordered Taco Bell through the app, but for delivered via DoorDash. After sometime of waiting, I went to track my order, and realize it had been canceled. Upon calling the store, I was told that the DoorDash driver didn’t want to sign Taco Bell‘s signature papers, and because so he decided to cancel my order. He did not contact me, or try to let me know. However when talking to the store the lady that answered had said she just finished my food, this is not the first time they’ve had to deal with that from a dasher. We went ahead and made to trip to get the food since it had been made and my card charged. I must say this was some of the best taco bell I have had to date from this store after almost a year of living here. Everything was cooked well, no items were missing, and my Bach fry’s were seasoned perfectly. I’ve had some bad experiences here, bit today was not one of those. Awesome service by the person who answered the phone and amazing food today. Thank you.”
