    Interior decor
    David A.

    Recently discovered another great place to dine when visiting Jax Beach. AB Kitchen is located just blocks from the beach and right in the middle of great shopping and dining options. The interior is extremely clean, almost industrial decor and lighting with accents of palm trees. Our server was extremely attentive and did a great job. We were there for lunch and used that menu so it was somewhat casual fare but they do a really great job of elevating these basics. My quesadilla was braised beef and it was excellent. Just amazing texture and taste. My wife had the Avacado bacon lettuce and tomato. She raved about it. The Beachside sour was also excellent. Refreshing, light the perfect summer drink. This area of the beaches has a ton of great places to eat. Make sure you make AB Kitchen one of them.

    AB Kitchen had great service and yummy food This cute spot sits right in the heart of the Neptune Beach town center and I'm surprised how long it took me to try! We started with some wine flights and it was so fun to get to taste their offerings. The Brussel sprouts were AMAZING and I don't even like Brussel sprouts. I'd probably skip out on the steak next time and try the seafood instead as it was a bit underwhelming. Overall, will be coming back again!

    I can't believe I had never heard of this place. It is intimate but didn't feel too crowded but it was definitely busy, make a reservation! The Brussel sprouts were soo good, they have goat cheese and a Korean chili sauce and we cleared the plate. The grilled salmon was perfection and the Caesar salad was the best I have tried in a long time. My friend ordered the snow crab fried rice with an egg on top and she raved about it. Definitely a must try!

    I came here for happy hour with one of my girlfriends and I was excited to try the spot and Neptune Beach. They have a really unique menu with small plates and savory entrées. They also have a nice drink selection and my waiter was so so friendly. The ambience in there is lovely and I like that. It's not too dark... This is a wonderful spot for happy hour and I'll be sure to go back and try a proper dinner!

    A friend recommended this spot after one of our walks, mentioning it was a bit on the pricey side but the flavor would be worth it. She was absolutely right. I ordered the New Zealand lamb chops with broccolini, couscous, and a creamy yogurt sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Every bite was balanced and full of rich, bold flavor. My friend went with the soup and salad, and that soup? Packed with flavor and so comforting and delicious. From start to finish, the service was excellent. The hostess and our waiter were incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Our waiter took the time to explain each dish in thoughtful detail, which made the experience feel even more special. The atmosphere was calm, contemporary, and inviting. The perfect place to unwind and enjoy a truly good meal. I'll definitely be back, next time, with my husband!

    Cute location, but way too loud. It was hard to hear each other. Steak was overcooked.

    Simple calmed vibe for a birthday lunch
    Patti C.

    Took my friend here for her birthday lunch. We opted to order a few items to share. The deviled eggs were light and flavorful but a bit too salty. Ahi tuna a bit over cooked and very small pieces but tasty accoutrement. We asked for some chips to go with it. The rice bowl was quite wet and not much crab but decent flavor. The cocktails were great!!

    Ham & Cheese Sandwich

    Every time I come here, it's amazing. It's usually not crowded on Sundays around lunch time, even though both their brunch and lunch menus are available. The place looks really classy, but you still feel comfortable dressing casually for the beach. You can tell the food is made with a lot of heart as it's always more impressive than you could imagine. Depth of flavor done perfectly.

    My wife invited me out to a Sunday Beach day at One Ocean hotel. We had to begin our day with some Brunch. We took a walk and ran into AB kitchen, this place is a sleeper. I ordered me Spicy Margarita to start it off. Then I got the AB breakfast, it was great, the eggs were scrambled hard with cheese, the grits topped it off!! The service was great as well. I definitely will be coming back. 5 stars

    Restaurant is very stylish and open
    Lisa L.

    This is an absolutely charming spot that I found just by chance. We walked in early and it was empty and now it's absolutely packed. All three of the dishes we had were excellent and the atmosphere is great. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who's in the Jacksonville Beach area.

    Coleslaw as side to burger

    Awesome! Second time here and this time we tried the burger which my husband loved! More than good; it had some unique flare. And the mushroom flatbread was a complete lunch and terrific with fresh ingredients and toppings edge to edge.

    Visited AB Kitchen with my fiance on Valentine's Day and we are so mad we didn't visit sooner. Incredible dinner! They were totally prepared for V-Day and we didn't feel squished or rushed at all. Just a really great and special dinner. We shared the Tahini Caesar: romaine, lemon tahini dressing, garlic olive oil breadcrumbs to start and it was huge! Great and unique salad. I had the Seared Scallop Red Curry: steamed spinach, jasmine rice, cilantro, lime, peanuts for dinner and it was everything I hoped for and more. I ate the whole thing! It was sweet, spicy, salty, and fresh. I loved it! And for only $27 - a steal! Huge fresh scallops!! My fiance got the Chimichurri Steak: whipped potatoes, roasted seasonal vegetables and LOVED it. He said it reminded him of the Argentinian steak we would get back home in Pittsburgh at one of our favorite restaurants. 5 star dinner. The ambiance is very beachy and coastal. It is not snobby even though the food quality is above and beyond. Great service! We will be back!

    Weekday lunch in the area and we decided to try this place. Options for outdoor sidewalk dining or bright and clean inside dining with tables or a booth. I chose one cocktail, the Beachside Sour and it was delicious. It was a slight twist on a typical whiskey sour and I really enjoyed it. For my entree, the Avocado, Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato (A.B.L.T.) had the option to add a fried egg. I chose this and asked to hold the mayo. Each component of this sandwich is done well. The avocado was a lemony mash and complimented everything else perfectly. The bacon was cooked crispy and not at all greasy. The toasted French bread held the whole sandwich together and made for delicious bite after bite. Fries came with my sandwich and they were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My husband ordered the Braised beef quesadilla and enjoyed that as well. We will definitely return when we are at the beaches again!

    Seafood Kitchen was the very first place we stopped after landing in Jacksonville, and it was the…read moreperfect introduction to East Coast seafood. Coming from the Pacific Northwest, we have pretty high standards - and this place delivered. We came toward the end of the night, and while it was still busy, there was plenty of seating available. The atmosphere is no-frills and laid-back - like a classic seafood shack you'd find at a coastal fish market. Nothing fancy, just fresh seafood done right. The raw oysters were fresh and an absolute must order. Since we visited during the winter, I also warmed up with a bowl of clam chowder, which really hit the spot. We also tried the boiled oysters, served hot and charred, and they ended up being everyone's favorite. We all eat oysters and seafood pretty regularly, and even we were surprised by how flavorful they were. If you stop by, don't just order the raw oysters - get the boiled ones too so you can experience both. You really can't go wrong here.

    While the service I received was really great the food just didn't hit for me. Bland is the word I…read morewould use to describe it. Not bad exactly, but certainly not inspired. I tried to start with the Smoked Fish Dip but they unfortunately were out of that so I pivoted to a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. It was served with two stone cold hushpupies which added nothing. If you can't serve them hot you are better to not to serve them at all. The soup was also a miss for me. I could decern very little clam flavor amongst the potatoes. Just a miss for me. The special of the day was a Shrimp special. I ordered it fried which was probably a mistake in retrospect. While they were nice shrimp the batter was again not spiced at all, none. It was just a miss for my palate. Maybe it was just me ordering the wrong things as the ratings here are so high but I feel like the Yelpers led me astray here. :(

    Absolute best fresh seafood in Neptune Beach, Jacksonville!…read more After passing by several places, chose North Beach Fish Camp because it was the busiest, and it did not disappoint. The vibe is lively, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming they even surprised the table with a complimentary order of fried crab claws with garlic aioli that were absolutely delicious. For my main course, I had the trio fried platter with fish, scallops, and shrimp, accompanied by hush puppies, fries, and coleslaw. You can truly taste the freshness in every single bite; everything is locally caught by their own fishermen. Between the amazing food, top-notch service, and great atmosphere, this was a standout dining experience. Highly recommended!

    I've always had a great experience eating at North Beach Fish Camp. Downstairs is usually crowded,…read moreso my favorite place to eat is upstairs. Even if the restaurant is packed, you can usually get a spot at the bar to eat. And if you sit upstairs, you get a nice view out of the windows. They have different specials all the time, and on our last visit, they had fried crab claws with a yummy dipping sauce. On this last visit, we just had drinks and appetizers, but on previous visits, I've tried a lot of the fish dishes on the menu and have liked them all. They also have good hush puppies. Their mixed drinks are good as well. I can't remember the names of the two I tried (in the photos), but they were refreshing. My husband had an espresso martini, but instead of vodka, he had them make it with the O'Kahan Agave Mezcal Purple Heart, which is something you have to ask for. It's a different twist on the usual espresso martini. Overall, it's good food in a good spot right on the corner in the Beaches Town Center. Never been disappointed and have been eating there for years.

The restaurant is situated so magnificently right on the water that it almost feels as though you are floating directly on the river.

Though it was briskly busy for Sunday service, the ambiance remained thoroughly pleasant and impeccably maintained. We were seated toward the back of the establishment, offering an utterly magnificent, unobstructed view of the river. To begin, I selected a crisp Corona Extra with a fresh slice of lemon, while my assistant opted for a fine beer. For our luncheon, we ordered a platter of raw oysters, which were extraordinarily fresh, perfectly chilled, and thoroughly divine for a late-afternoon meal. To top off a splendid day, we indulged in a warm cinnamon roll for dessert a delightfully decadent sweet finish. Watching the breathtaking sunset cast its glow over the water made for a truly magical afternoon. Impeccable views, fresh cuisine, and a wonderful atmosphere I shall most certainly be returning!
