EAT HERE!

MY #1 RANKED RESTAURANT IN JACKSONVILLE

French Pantry Restaurant Review
By far, my favorite place to eat. It’s only open during lunch and only Monday-Friday so get there early!

Mexican

Tijuana Flats Restaurant Review As far as fast food Mexican goes, this place is the new standard. Super fresh, great service and the “Taco Tuesdaze” special is awesome.
TacoLu Restaurant Review – By far, the best Tacos in Jacksonville. If you go here, you have to try the Bangin’ Shrimp Taco. They are prepared by unicorns, they are that mythical.

Steak
Ruth’s Chris Steak House Restaurant Review While this is on the pricey side, the value is good.  Definitely the best steak I have ever had, outside of my house of course! Lots of options and if you read the comments on the review, you will see there are cheaper options.
The Capital Grille Restaurant Review A great option for some fine dining while at the St. Johns Town Center.  A little on the pricey side but you definitely get good food and great service.

Italian
Pele’s Wood Fire Restaurant Review
This is what Italian Fine Dinning is about. If you want something better than what you are used to, go here. Sit at the chef’s bar and watch it all being made, very entertaining.

Seafood
Salt Life Restaurant Review Try the Poke Bowl, the tuna is flown in daily from Hawaii. Very fresh.
Nippers Beach Grille Restaurant Review Start with a “Rudy’s Bad Habit” and follow it up with their Baked Oysters for your appetizer and you won’t be disappointed.

BBQ
Sonny’s Real Pit BBQ Restaurant Review They have the meatiest ribs in Jacksonville. Plus they now have mustard based BBQ sauce. Definitely a must.

Sweet Tooth
Sweet Pete’s Restaurant Review Their sea salt caramels are the best! Ask anyone who’s been there.
Sweet! by Holly Restaurant Review The best cupcakes I have ever had and I don’t even like cupcakes! So that says it all. I crave them now.
Dreamette Restaurant Review This is what Dairy Queen wishes it was. There is a reason this place has been around forever, it’s that good.

Miscellaneous
Kickbacks Gastropub Above average food, the best meatloaf in town, and tons of beer. Neat place!
Firehouse Subs Restaurant Review
Best subs in Jacksonville and they are a Jacksonville based company! Win Win.
Cinotti’s Bakery Restaurant Review They have BACON DONUTS! Also, they have the best King Cake in Jacksonville. If you are from Louisiana, you know what that’s about.
BlackFinn Grille Restaurant Review Great atmosphere. Sit outside and listen to live music or sit in one of their 3 different themed rooms. It’s not crazy expensive, jeans and a shirt is fine for clothing.

I love food and I love to make people laugh. This blog started out as a place for me to just vent about some crappy food and turned out that I stumbled into some good food along the way. I'm a father of 2, husband, and master of nothing.
