Restaurants in Jacksonville Beach

“This is a very popular restaurant and bar in Jacksonville Beach offering California inspired foods and wines from Sonoma and Napa Valleys. The ambiance is beachy and classy. Beautiful decor with great subdued lighting. I loved it. The darker woods with very comfortable booths were just what I like.

Our server was Brandon, who was a delight with lots of great tips about the area as well as delicious items and wines on the menu. He was awesome, attentive with a good sense of humor.

I ordered the Korean BBQ Ribs with shoestring fries. The ribs were delicious and spicy but I didn't care to have so much sauce poured over the fries. Less is more in this instance. A mix of flavors would be better.

My daughter ordered the Thai Coconut Curry Grill with center cut sirloin. She liked her meal just as it was.

For dessert, we shared the Bread Pudding. It was very good.

We had a lot of fun there, thanks to Brandon's outgoing personality! Parking was free just outside the restaurant. We definitely would return again.”

“The appetizers, drinks, the food, and most of all the service was outstanding thank you Jessica your energy service and attention to detail made our night!”

“Buddha Thai Bistro is a solid choice. Nice interior/atmosphere, food was good to very good and Bank provided excellent service and helpful menu suggestiond (I like spicy foods but be warned, I would try 3 on the 5 scale!). Price was fair to very reasonable. We will be staying in the area for a month and will definitely be back to explore the menu - we were very pleased!”

“Great food and never disappoints. Service is excellent”

“Absolutely LOVE this place! Every smoothie I tried is perfection, you really can’t go wrong. Franchise owners are there working and so friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about their business! Atmosphere is light and pleasant- I post up and usually knock out an hour of work while I enjoy the smoothie and the space. My favorite smoothie place!!!”

“Upcharge on drinks (ordered drinks from drink menu, but was charged for a more expensive alcohol). Bread charge. Food was over cooked. Noisy atmosphere. Why all the 5 stars?”

“My wife and I visited today for our anniversary. Everything about this place is top notch! Our server, Ryan, was exceptional and very friendly. There was a good atmosphere and the food is probably the best Indian cuisine that I have ever had. They even went above and beyond and gave us a free desert to celebrate our anniversary . If we are ever back in the Jacksonville area we will make sure to come back! If you live in the area or even hours out of the area, I can assure you that you will enjoy the food! Be warned: portions are generous so make sure you come hungry!”

“Hi all I had my daughter in town from college this evening and she chose SALT LIFE for us to eat dinner. I have to say the food & service was impressive and delicious ! Server Bree(apologies if I spelled it wrong)xx, she was absolutely the best & top notch service! We had a great experience and will, definitely dinein again! If you’re a local or just new in town, this place has it all on the menu in one visit! My crew enjoyed the below : The beach boil😋😋, mahi tacos, queso, quac, grilled captions platter, and chicken pasta. All of these dishes were super fab! Thank you SL & Bree for a great local experience! You”

“Wonderful, pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Drinks were great, service was great, and the food was delicious. Very clean well kept restaurant. Would recommend to anyone, and we will be back soon. 5 star. 3/6/2024 Met Karrie the manager and she was exceptionally nice and made our dinner very memorable.”

“Love this place. There are gluten friendly options which is nice including an alternative to the soy sauce. Atmosphere is nice. Service has always been good.”

“This place is amazing! Great service, excellent food and the drinks are top-notch! I defintely will be back!”

“Service was impeccable. Great atmosphere, absolutely delicious plates. And the taste of Torreas de Horchata - mmmm superb toast. It is all about the great customer experience, and this place can ensure this. I must say one of the great restaurants over the USA I've been visiting so far. Highly recommended.”

“Dogs allowed inside and they have wine!”

“We planned a quick last minute wedding, and Kira was beyond accommodating. She was always available, and her communication was on point. Texting, calling, showing up…she always made time for me even if she was in the middle of something else. We originally reserved the dining room for our family reunion, but due to extenuating circumstances, our brunch turned into a last minute wedding celebration instead. Kira went over all our options and recommendations, sat down with me to plan the seating arrangement, and brunch menu, and even created a fancy custom drink menu for us. The venue was beautiful. The views were gorgeous. The buffet display and food was amazing. The table settings and linens were lovely. The bartender and wait staff were phenomenal. They made this day so perfect in every way. they went above and beyond & I cannot rave enough about our wonderful experience. Thank you so much, Kira.”

“Just wanted to give a BIG shout out to Johnny, a cook at Joe's Crab Shack tonight. We went there to celebrate a birthday and my daughter has a food allergy and he went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of. He took the time to come out and speak to her, take her order and then cooked it safely and specifically for her. He made an amazing Chicken Alfredo that honestly was the best dish at the table! Made her night, her boyfriend, and her momma! Thank you Johnny! I hope you see this!”

“Wonderful menu and great music!”

“We've been working in the Jax Beach/Ponte Vedra area for awhile. We've extended at Longhorn multiple times. Jules took great care of us. Lunch special cost about the same as fast food, but taste and food are much better. Fries are great. Burgers and chicken sandwiches are always on point. We'll keep going back.”

“Kolbey is the most attentive and pleasant server at Tula's. He should be management!!!”

“Great place for a drink and appetizer. Mike the bartender is the best! He makes us feel like we have own private bar. And he makes a mean espresso martini! Nice view of pier and beach.”

“I loved everything about it. The food, the service, the atmosphere... all of it, I'd give 5 stars! 10/10. Next time I'm in Jacksonville, I'll definitely be coming back to RP's.”

“Hadn’t been to Japanese Steak House in a while & very much enjoyed our experience. Celebrated a birthday too”

“Great service! Nice atmosphere”

“We came for lunch and everything came out so fast. Trinity was SO sweet and attentive our entire visit. She explained everything with ease and made our visit so great. ☺️”

“Chili was great and the atmosphere was fun.”

“What an amazing joint you folks have here... Angela behind the bar is an absolute dream and she's the real deal...Pay attention management staff... She's awesome!Thanks for $3 Jai laia drafts and I'll be back with more people”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mavi Waterfront Grill is an absolute gem if you’re looking for great food with a beautiful waterfront atmosphere. We came in by boat, thanks to the nearby marina, which makes this spot super convenient for anyone enjoying a day on the water.

The restaurant has a stunning view of the marina — perfect for relaxing and watching the boats drift by. The patio seating is a must on a nice day; you can feel the breeze and soak up the laid-back, coastal vibe.

Food-wise, everything we ordered was top-notch. The seafood was fresh, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The cocktails were also a highlight — refreshing and perfectly crafted for a waterfront setting.

Whether you’re coming in off the water or just looking for a scenic spot to enjoy a meal, Mavi Waterfront Grill is well worth the visit.”

“We finally made it to Lone Wolf today after being followers for awhile! And we HIGHLY recommend this little “sandwich” shop. I had the Run In Circles (chicken cutlet, bacon, ham, American cheese, lettuce, cool ranch Doritos and wolf sauce. My husband had the Monday special ; a smash burger. A properly done smash burger too. Everyone was so polite and Tiffany was so welcoming and even gave me a tip on how to reheat the other half of my sandwich! 10/10 recommend!”

“Gator Ice Cream is amazing! The staff is wonderful and their ice cream is so delicious! The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup is a must try in my opinion!”

“Went to the one on sunrise blvd Fort Lauderdale . Excellent and exceeded my expectations”

“I came in for a drink while waiting for my girlfriend to get off work and I received a complimentary kava drink which tasted amazing. Best kava drink I've had, hands down. The atmosphere and ambiance is perfect for someone like myself. Lots of games and plenty to do as well. I highly recommend giving this place a chance and trying that Kava.”

“Daniel was great ! Oscar was so attentive! Food awesome, everything was clean! I recommend to all!!”

“Delicious food and friendly service”

“Great food great people awesome place to be!”

“best food and friendly place they always have a smile on their face and great service”

“From the first bite, it was clear this was no ordinary Italian. It was the most delicious, authentic Italian food I've ever had. The ingredients were impossibly fresh, bursting with flavor that spoke of love and dedication. House-made salad dressings, one a vibrant pesto, transformed even the simplest greens into a gourmet experience. And the bread! Oh, the bread! Each chewy, crusty bite was a testament to their craft, a warm hug on a cold day. Must trys the brushetta, the cheesecake, cannoli, I recommend it all. But it wasn't just the food that touched our hearts. In the midst of our grief, D&LP reminded us of the power of kindness, They poured their souls into every dish, and you could taste it in every morsel. A testament to the human spirit's capacity for love. For that, we will forever be grateful. From the bottom of our 💕 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! 💗”

“I am obsessed with these. 😍”

“Great sushi and Thai food, dynamite roll was excellent as well as the chicken curry. Our server was very welcoming and friendly, and we also were given a holiday roll appetizer and fried Oreos dessert, as well, both on the house!”

“Scrumptious Filipino dish!! Nice plating and a very friendly service!!”

“This place is a classic. I've been coming here for years, but I brought my husband in for the first time and everything was awesome. Also, the crabcake was way better than I expected. I always try the rotating martini and always ask about the rotating benni. This time it was a pb and j martini and an orzo and scallop benni. I wasn't disappointed. 🤤”

“Incredible ice cream! Probably the best I’ve ever had in Florida. The quality and richness is so good. I’m so tired of overrated places that have cheap-tasting ice cream. This place is the BEST!”

“It is delicious! Service is good and fast.”

“Highly recommended! NYC style pizza with a nontraditional crispy crust. Enjoyed the varied of favor choices. We tried Buffalo Solider, Meat me in NYC, pepperoni and veggie. All very good.”

“Great food and friendly staff.”

“Awesome as always and greatly prices”

“This was my first time trying Relish, and they are basically subway for burgers and I am already a fan! Probably cause of the sauces and the toppings cause to me they might be the most important thing to someone who can only eat fish or veggie options at places that don’t offer halal meat

But the fries were absolutely insane, I usually can’t/don’t finish my fries at places like this but Relish fries were super good.”

“Fresh and delicious a breath ID fresh air with ask the bad food out there”

“Old school wonderful food.”

“Dog friendly place! If you’re a huge dog lover, this is it. We really enjoyed the flights. Bartender, Sara was patient and informative about the different brews they offered. My favorite was the raspberry shandy. They also had count chocula beer which was chocolaty and smooth . I found one beer that even tho my husband ordered it, I kept sneaking sips of it! He finally said get your own! ?
It was so good! The pomegranate diamond. I wish I bought some to take home.”

“We came down to Jax for my birthday and a good friend of mine recommended TacoLu. We sat outside and the weather was perfect! The food was to die for! Perfect portion sizes and the price of the food for the portion size was better than what we pay at home for Mexican food. We will definitely be back to eat here! Thank you for a great experience! #Luval”

“Great people. Best sandwich at the beach! Get the Hot Cuzzo. The service is top notch. This is a true beach spot, locally owned, and hasn't changed for years. Why change if you're already the best?”

“Just found this place today. It is so cool. Great atmosphere and great drinks. I started with a specialty coffee and ended with the triple whip smoothie sour. Yum yum yum. The staff are great and helpful with drink choices. The place is three different areas and includes and old arcade in the back. This will be my new hangout”

“It was always the Jags🐾🏈👍”

“Incredible ice cream! Probably the best I’ve ever had in Florida. The quality and richness is so good. I’m so tired of overrated places that have cheap-tasting ice cream. This place is the BEST!”

“I love snoballs. I’ve lived in Barbados, New York, Boston, etc… these Pelican snoballs are magical artistry. I asked the clerk to pick for me and she gave me a coconut cream pie snoball. All I can say is WHOOOOOAAAAA!!!!! It’s been 3 hours and I can still taste it. I wish I had more hands to give them more thumbs up! Do yourself a favor and stop by asap!”

“Love them!! Great cookies, ice cream and people! 🍪🍦”

“Sago Cafe in Jax Beach is a fantastic spot! We stopped by for a quick lunch and were so impressed with the food and atmosphere.

I had the chicken salad sandwich—it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together. The honey cinnamon latte was also amazing—smooth, lightly sweet, and super comforting.

The space is bright and open, with plenty of seating and a clean, minimalist decor that gives it a calm and welcoming vibe. It’s a great place to relax, meet up with friends, or even get some work done.

Highly recommend if you’re in the Jacksonville Beach area and looking for good food, great coffee, and a chill atmosphere!”

“Best cats, Best care, Best overall cat facility!!”

“I’m not a coffee drinker, my wife is, she said coffee was great. The only
Bummer is the pastries they had were a day old, no problem with that but for a discounted price. Fresh ones always worth full price.”

“I was the Hot Dog Hut today and can tell you the new Owners are delightful and completely remodeled, sparkly clean restaurant - with ice cold beer and great, reasonably priced and fresh food. Jeff and Jessie have kept the robust menu and enhanced the quality and freshness with more locally based suppliers. My favorite so far is the Hot Italian Sausage. If you like spicy hot dogs it won't disappoint. The mild is also good too! Stop by and enjoy a chat with the engaging new owners and great food!”

“Delicious Empanadas! The Cuban Sandwich was great!”

“Serving a wide variety of lunch dishes with some emphasis on German dishes ranging from sausages/wurst, Reubens, but also American club sandwiches, vegetarian options, salads, pita offerings, wraps, heros. Lots to choose from and most dishes are ~$13 or less.

Seat yourself at most locations, then a server will bring menus and serve the table. Payment can be done through a QR code at the table or normally customers take the check to the register and maybe get a little something sweet from the display case or other candy treats.”

“Great coffee, meat pies that taste homemade, and the absolute best cinnamon buns we have ever had. All with a bit of South African vibe.”

“Very wonderful and personable owner . He takes pride in his business and went above and beyond for my son and I ❤️”

“Delicious Every Time! One of our Favorite Places to eat!”

“This place is AMAZING!! All donuts and bread mixed and baked fresh in house everyday!!!! Loving, warm family run business that gives back to the community! No other bakery like this in town. Highly recommend lunch!”

“To the girls who were working on 9/27 at night y’all made my night. Thank you for being so happy for me and helping me pick out some ice cream to celebrate. True and utter kindness.”

“Everyone was extremely nice and generous. They spoiled our dog. The food was beyond amazing and the service was great. It was so good we visited twice while in Jacksonville Beach.”

“Really good food. Great bartenders.”

“My son treated us (mom, dad, sis and himself) to Kazu Sushi Burrito for lunch via delivery. We had shrimp and eel burrito, California roll burrito and tempura shrimp. All the ingredients were fresh, seasoned well, cooked thoroughly. The only negative is that one person doesn't like shrimp, so we weren't sure if we could make substitutions to the burritos, like swap the shrimp for something else? Ordered the California roll since that one didn't have shrimp.
Overall, very good food and will order again!”

“Great pizza, flatbreads and garlic knots”

“Delicious steak and cheese subs!!”

“What a great experience at Pinto Thai Bistro it was amazing and I loved the service”

“excellent rolls, sashimi & clear soup all delicious. salmon thick sliced & very fresh tasting.”

“Amazing food !!! Great service !!”

“Breezys breakfast is awesome. The watermelon mimosas the best. And get a wellness shot it's a must! I got the ingredients but need to portions of ingredients. I live in Georgia and trying to make my own, until I return.”

“Great, welcoming,warm,warm, Moose people. If you're in Jacksonville and you're a Moose, visit this place! If you're in Jacksonville and you're not a Moose, sign up!”

“Ate here, amazing cheesesteak. nice place, busy but good service. Pricey but worth it IMO.”

“We had a small gathering today for my dad’s 75th birthday. The food was great,the service was awesome. Our server ,Katia was great. She helped make our gathering perfect. Katia went above and beyond to make sure all in attendance have a wonderful time. Our food came out quick, hot and very tasty. We will be back for sure.”

“Not sure if this is a hidden gem but maybe an unsung hero? I love bringing out of town guests here for iced tea, pastries, and especially lunch. The flavors are amazing, inventive menu, and a great place to chat with friends or open your laptop”

““the food was good but i’m apprehensive to return due to the women who took my order she was a skinny older white women with brown hair. I think her name was jamie. She was super rude and aggressive, i was asking certain questions about drink options and got short ride answer as well as huffing and puffing for i guess having to do her job. Food was great i think better then zaxbys but that staff member needs a reality check.”

“Ordered all vegetarian food- lo Mein and Kung pao Tofu, Spring rolls on the side. They were king to adjust the selection of vegetables based on my preference. Food was delicious and fresh. Manager/Owner lady is kind and friendly. Don’t think twice before ordering from this place. Loved it”

“The most delicious juice bar I’ve been too. The açaí bowls are great, but I’m hooked on this pink flamingo power smoothie right now. I live out of town, but I’m here for a liver transplant and I couldn’t be happier than I am after I sip on this deliciousness”

“Fantastic barbecue for not a pot of money. Service wad friendly and fast. Our server had good recommendations and checked on us often. I only wish they served beef ribs. We will certainly come here again.”

“Holy smokes we found it!!! Authentic Mexican food like we had back in MI!! And at normal prices!!! We have been disappointed since moving to Jax Beach area last year that all the Mexican places were “fancy” - weird, elaborate dishes that cost way too much for what they are. This place is amazing- the food was perfect, service was fantastic, and the total bill was under $20 for lunch for the two of us (before tip). Chips were crispy and the salsa was perfectly spicy and super flavorful. We will definitely be back - the lunch specials are exactly what we are used to from MI days (hello speedy gonzales!) 5 plus stars, highly recommend!”

“This was hands down the best wedding cake I have ever had in my life. All of our guests are still talking about our wedding cake and wished they had more than one slice to enjoy the day of the wedding. We opted for a white chocolate raspberry flavor, but they can make just about any flavor you can think of.”

“This is the best Larry’s in Jacksonville, always clean always fresh always polite and fastAnxiety 100% while eating inside praying ASAP don’t town my car but it’s still great subs”

“I've eaten at a Panera forever but never had a salad. Today I had a reward for free salad so ordered the Balsamic grains and chicken with avocado. It was so large and filling and tasted fabulous. The coffee wasn't very hot so the employee immediately made another pot for me. Staff was very nice.”

“Such a cute place we love it, only few steps from my home too”

“Fresh ingredients and reasonable prices. Very good!!! recommend for sure!!”

“Great local burger joint! Can't go wrong with an extra side of the Dick's sauce.”

“Quick, friendly service, and the mountain of nachos with jumbo shrimp and chicken blew our socks off! 6 people picked over these things and there was still a good amount left! Will be back soon!”

“wings were really good. ask for Dylan. best waiter ever”

“Rocket Bombs, Rocket Bombs, Rocket Bombs. Just a great local bar. Darts, video golf and games. Did I mention the Rocket Bombs!”

“Omg, this was so worth the money. Definitely will eat there every time we vacation here.”

“The food is consistently good, and service is great! My “go-to” place for breakfast or lunch!👏👏👏”

“I went to Mellow the other day for some appetizers and it turns out I needed dinner and I’m glad I got it. My waitress Summer was very kind and friendly and when I asked what she recommended she recommended one of the best house pizzas I’ve had. Her service was Amazing and the restaurant was very clean 10 out of 10 recommend and will be back here again!!!”

“Your location is amazing. Your delivery time from the time I hit send has never been more then 15 minutes!! Always Hot!! Thank You”

“Cool laid back atmosphere”

“Love!!! Great service, great food. We will come back for sure”

“Great core group of people. They are super friendly, respectable, always welcome you with a smile and a greeting and very social when time allows. Even with the Insanity that ensues after 2100 to 2200, they still keep their composure and provide the same service. So long as you dont bring the drama, even security is friendly. I tested out a few of the bars in the area the first two weeks of football season and, while there was one that came close to me choosing it, because of those cool people and great vibes, I chose to spend the rest of the season there. I definitely recommend this spot!

Parking: Parking lot is small (wraps around 1/2 the building) but free in the earlier hours. It later gets closed off to accommodate the extra peak time employees.”

“If you want to enjoy a cool and healthy alternative to to treat your family while beating the summer heat pop into Tropical Smoothie Cafe like I did today. As a tour guide and a foodie on machine that I gobbled up my chicken pesto wrap with such speed that I never got a picture. The staff is amazing this business has heart, made even more wonderful by Amber, I'm unsure of her actual title but she is certainly the hostess with the mostest! She went above and beyond to make sure I had an amazing experience. Kudos to her and all of the staff here at the beach.”

“Stopped when on vacation. great food, friendly staff and Brian general manager was great! Highly recommend burgers! Ty ! 5 stars ⭐️!”

“Great coffee and pup cups !! 🐶🐶”

“Best bowls I have ever had. so fresh and delicious!! We will definitely be back soon!!”

“Went to Landshark Bar and Grill for a birthday dinner for the first time. The drinks were amazing and the food was awesome. Our server Sarin was on top of everything. Will definitely be back!”
