    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!

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

    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!

    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!!

    Restaurant is very stylish and open

    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.

    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

    ABLT and Eggplant Humus. Delicious.

    Super cute restaurant with an inviting menu that will satisfy the more adventurous diner as well as the not so adventurous diner. Service is excellent.

    Coleslaw as side to burger
    Alison M.

    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!

Parking will cost you (think it was $8 for 3 hours) but there's plenty of parking options. The restaurant sits on the corner and faces towards the beach (although you can't see the beach). It was pretty packed inside and a reservation is recommended. I liked the busy atmosphere. We started with a modelo and oysters. There were some beers on tap they ran out of for the evening. The oysters were good, but shall we than I expected. I opted for their snapper special: pan seared over jasmine rice with string green beans and a nice sauce underneath. It came out looking like a 5 star meal and tasted as such. One of the best red snapper entrees I've had!. It's hard not to give 5 stars when the fish is this amazing! Our waitress was also on point and there when we needed her. I hope to be back here again and would recommend!

We came again for Father's Day- reservations made in advance. Seated on time, seated on the top- by the window, quieter than downstairs and a wonderful view. Server was great. Food: Calamari- only ok, not a lot of flavor at all. Shrimp and grits- large serving and good. Bitter beans, always good- maybe didn't need so much (lesson learned( Crabcakes- this time lacked in comparison to others in terms of flavor and freshness. Really good French 75s. Still a good visit overall and would try again.

I was a little incredulous that a former Sailor could run an Asian restaurant with such awesome ramen! Well, now I believe everything I heard. As a former sailor, upon entry I immediately fell in love with the Navy decor, pictures, and even the tables in the dining area had the seals of ships and other commands past and present on the table top art that gave a tremendous nostalgic feel to an old sea warrior like me! OK, I was a Chaps - I gave spiritual support to those warriors. Nevertheless, the ramen bowls here are a work of artistic beauty! I felt like I needed to stare at my meal for an hour before daring to touch it! On this day, we had the Bayou Ramen and the Traditional Ramen. The Bayou Ramen has a real Cajun spicing to it - unmistakable in every way. It has some heat to it, but not heavy - I'd say it was just about right for my taste. The shrimp and sausage in it were perfectly prepped - I could have taken some home but didn't - just couldn't stop eating this! It also included carrots, corn, a seasoned egg, scallions, ramen noodles in chicken bayou broth. If you like ramen of a Cajun variety, you'll love this! The traditional ramen bowl was pretty basic. You could have a choice of broth, but the basic version has little to no heat factor. It comes with roast pork, bok choy, carrots, corn, seasoned eggs, scallions, ramen noodles. I had the leftovers of this ramen bowl the next day and it was outstanding too! In addition, when you come here, you MUST get the fried chicken! It's among the best I've ever tasted. It's definitely bested KFC in my book! Anyone who wants to try a solid ramen restaurant which classic offerings and some creative versions of ramen, must visit Hangar Bay! I will add that the service we received as terrific! For a little while, I felt like I was eating on the mess deck again! I'll surely be back! Recommend: VERY HIGH!

As for the food? The berry salad was alright, but very light on the dressing- which made it slightly dry and the bitter arugula taste stand out. But my waitress did bring extra dressing so I ended up enjoying it. The Peaches & Cream fried green tomatoes were delicious- way more tomato than I expected in the best possible way! I feel like it should be named fried green tomatoes on the menu with the cheese and peaches left in the description. The Ahi tuna with ginger noodles was also fantastic! The noodles on the dish were actually the highlight of the whole meal. The only thing I felt really was not worth the money was the crab macaroni- which for $18 was a very basic velveeta adjacent mac with a very thin, crusty layer of shredded crab on top. In sum: the food is good, but it's definitely at a premium.

In my opinion, a little overpriced for a very traditional brunch and nothing that knocked my socks off, but still a great brunch spot and close by Lemon Bar & Pete's to hit up after being a little tipsy from the bubbly
