Turkey club wrap
Katie B.

We are frequent flyers at ABBQ because of the convenience with kids; however, I've never been on a weekday for lunch. It was nice to see some lunch specials so I could try something that isn't on the regular menu. The turkey club wrap was phenomenal- wish it was on the regular menu also. I would order it every time. The waitress suggested adding a side of honey mustard and I was glad I did. It's a unique twist on traditional honey mustard as it had a spicy kick to it. My friends ordered the brisket Reuben and said it was great. Service was okay on this day- there were only 2 employees working the entire place. I don't think they are typically busy during weekday lunch but this day was a school holiday so more people than expected. They did give us a free dessert to share to apologize for the slower service.

Awesome spot in AB and love the outdoor area on a nice day. Visited with a large group on a Saturday and there was a cornhole tournament going on. Food was insanely fast. I swear we ordered and within 5 mins had our full meals. Mac and cheese is delicious, Brussels are yummy, fries are thick cut and good and all the meats were tender and good. Lots of bbq sauce options too. Full bar with lots of drink options, turf area for kids to run and play, lots of tvs make it ideal for a game day! Definitely recommend.

Recientemente celebramos el cumpleaños de mi marido en ABBQ, ¡y fue una gran opción! El amplio comedor lo hizo perfecto para un grupo, y aunque el restaurante estaba ocupado, nunca se sintió abarrotado; había mucho espacio entre mesas, lo que realmente apreciamos. Estaba un poco desanimado porque estaban fuera del pollo barbacoa (¡tenía el corazón puesto en ello!), pero fui con el sándwich de pollo y definitivamente dio la bienvenida, súper lleno y lleno de sabor. Nuestro camarero era fantástico, atento y amable, y nos hizo reír durante toda la comida. Las porciones eran generosas y todos terminaron con sobras para llevarlas a casa. Con todo, un lugar ideal para una buena comida, buenas vibraciones y mucho espacio para celebrar.

Fish tacos

Came here to celebrate a birthday and sat on the patio. It was hot, but we were a large group, so outside was the best option. The fans were turned on and helped with the heat. I decided on the fish tacos that were on the specials menu. I was curious about the potato casserole, and it was delicious! It was like a hash brown casserole, which I loved. Overall, our waitress was great and helpful, especially since there were a lot of us and many orders.

We decided to dine indoors due to the heat. Our meal started with the dry rub wings appetizer which was flavorful. I was eager to try the 2-meat platter with brisket and ribs, but was told that the brisket would be unavailable for a couple of hours which was a letdown. I wanted to eat here for the brisket. As I couldn't think of anything else to pair with ribs, I settled for the Barbacoa Chicken. My wife chose the shrimp and grits. While we left with full bellies, the brisket would have made a significant difference!

This is an upscale barbecue spot which I never thought I would hear myself say. They sell high quality meats alongside drinks. I only stopped by to pick up a too good to go order, however, walking inside and seeing the ambience on a Friday night made me want to come back for dinner one night. I plan on coming back and having a proper sitdown dinner and will give another review then once I receive the full restaurant service and dining experience.

Barbacoa Chicken; Sweet Potato Fries; Brussel Sprouts
Daniel C.

Stopped by for lunch. Had the barbacoa chicken, sweet potato fries, and brussel sprouts. It was absolutely delicious. Super juicy when I cut thought the chicken. Fries were crispy. Brussel sprouts had a crispy exterior with soft tasty interior. Service was quick and pleasant. Table was slightly sticky but was able to overlook due to the quality of food.

ABBQ Old Fashion

Outstanding as Always - ABBQ Never Misses In town for a conference in Mayport, we wanted to host a no-host social event at a local spot that would impress. I'm not from Jacksonville, but I travel here a few times a year and always make it a point to eat at ABBQ--so it was an easy recommendation. We called on Monday to set up a no-host dinner for around 25 people on Wednesday evening. The team didn't blink. When we arrived, they had already arranged a long table to comfortably accommodate everyone. A few of our group arrived early and got things going with warm-up drinks at the bar. Our server deserves serious praise--fielding a barrage of questions about the menu, drinks, and beer selections with patience and professionalism. She took orders efficiently, brought drinks from the bar herself, and coordinated seamlessly with the kitchen staff who delivered the food hot and timely. One guest didn't love their Mezcal Old Fashioned, and without hesitation, the server helped switch it out for a tequila-based cocktail made with 1800 that hit the mark. That kind of attentiveness really stands out. And yes, we added to the complexity by asking for separate checks--all 25+ of us. The server handled it like a pro, with the patience of an angel, ensuring everyone could pay right at the table without any hassle. The food? Incredible as always. We shared a variety of appetizers--do not leave without trying the deviled eggs, they're absolutely the bomb. The stuffed jalapeños were another crowd favorite. Between us, we ordered nearly the full range of BBQ offerings, and everything was spot on. I sampled a friend's Brussels sprouts and collard greens and immediately regretted not ordering both--they were fantastic. Those are going on my plate next time without question. ABBQ delivered big for us, from food to drinks to service. Whether you're local or visiting, it's a must-visit spot in Atlantic Beach. Can't wait to return.

"grilled "cheese brisket
Lane M.

not sure how i ordered in the middle of the day when they weren't busy and some how got a grilled cheese that was room temp along with room temp fries . i waited for like 20 minutes for the food . i should have walk back into the restaurant and said what is this but i was hungry . despite the temperature the flavor of the fries and the brisket were good to despite the grilled cheese not being big nice and melted the taste was pretty good

Pita chips and pimento cheese app
Valerie C.

Ambience of sitting outside was nice. Having the corn hole game was fun for the kids. Food was good, nothing totally stood out. Live music was the best part- the gentleman sounded like Sublime. Service was mid, which really surprised me as we were expecting much better from previous reviews.

Fountain of youth
Laura P.

The brunch is good. Great drinks and good food. Sometimes food is a bit inconsistent but yesterday most was spot on. Started with pork rinds. Pro tip ask for a side of queso and dip away. So good and fresh. We usually opt for brunch menu but this time got a platter to share. 3 sides and 3 meat. Brisket delish and fatty ribs tasty and sausage so good. The sides we didn't eat much of as they weren't cooked well done enough or were cold. Drinks so good the fountain of youth is my fave but did a rose drink too. All good all fast. They had live music too and he was great!! Can't. Wait to go back

Smoked Wings
Amiyah G.

First off, our server was truly the one who made the experience great. He was super awesome and kind/helpful! I think his name was Spencer (but I could be totally wrong.) The food was just ok, I wish they would've seasoned the brisket a bit more as it didn't have much flavor without using a sauce to accompany it. I did have chopped/sliced and I will say the chopped was much more flavorful than the sliced brisket. I ordered the one meat plate and I will say you do get a lot of food for the price - the portion sizes were great. I also was able to pick two sides and I ordered the Mac & cheese and french fries. The Mac and cheese wasn't great but was edible. I wish it was a bit more creamy. The French fries were super good as they were thick and crispy and you can tell they make them in-house. Overall the service was the star of the show and I would come back simply for that! They also have a really nice bar and back area with turf and tables.

Cedar and Olive was hands down the best meal in Jacksonville…read more We went for lunch and were guided by the warmest, most helpful staff. Let me tell you about the Tawook Sandwich, this thing is something special. The garlic spread they use combined with perfectly seasoned chicken, pickles, and just the right amount of crispy french fry tucked inside makes it one of the best things I have ever eaten. I'm not exaggerating. It's the kind of bite that stops you mid-conversation because you just need a moment to appreciate it. The shish kabob platter was equally incredible, the steak was impossibly tender and packed with deep, rich flavor. The hummus and pita rounded everything out beautifully, simple but executed with real care. What sets Cedar and Olive apart is that you can genuinely taste the passion behind every single dish. This isn't food that was just prepared, it was crafted with intention and creativity. If you're in Jacksonville, please do yourself a favor and go here. Don't think about it, just go. You will not regret it.

My family and I had dinner tonight at Cedar and Olive Mediterranean in Jacksonville and it was…read moreabsolutely incredible. Every single dish we ordered was outstanding. The lentil soup was rich and comforting, and the falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. For our mains we had the steak, chicken, and beef kafta, and all three were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. You can truly taste the freshness and quality in everything they serve. It's rare to find a place where every dish at the table is this good. If you're in Jacksonville, you absolutely have to try this place. One of the best Mediterranean meals we've had and we'll definitely be back!

On arrival my friends were easily assisted and provided a spot outside upon request for four of us for brunch. Server, Michelle, made sure all could be set up quickly- balloons and cake. She was exceptional. Quick service, very thorough, super friendly- but not just that, very personable. Answered all our questions and made great suggestions. Appetizers were Buffalo cauliflower (not on brunch menu) and spinach dip. Both were wonderful- great flavor and portion size was large. Meals; Two Short Rib Benedict's- Large serving, we each ate half. Good amount of meat on 2 pieces of seasoned toast with eggs and a side of home fries. Two salads- one goat cheese and one fig. One plain and one with shrimp. Super tasty. Started off with a bottle of champagne for mimosas. When time for our cake, Michelle was quick to action and bring plates and utensils. She felt like part of the celebration over just being our server. Really haven't had this level of service or genuine personality at any restaurant before- not even for upscale nights out. We will be back.

This is probably the best pizza I've had in a very long time!…read more Reve Brewing is located in a strip mall right off Mayport Rd, just a couple minute off the naval base. The brewery has a really cool vibe to it, and they also have plenty of TVs where they were playing sports. I know they are a brewery and probably really good at it, but I came here for the pizza. Their selection is small but mighty. When we asked the staff what he recommended, he said all of them (not making it easy buddy). Since they are on the smaller size, we decided to get three and planning to take home some leftovers. My favorite by far was the Pancetta Garlic pizza. At the beginning I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of garlic, but damn was I wrong. The garlic was cooked to perfection and literally melted in your mouth. I don't think I've ever seen a similar pizza anywhere else, and made it even more surprising. Frankly the other two we had were also very delicious, but I truly give it the top spot to the prosciutto garlic. Last but not least, I like that they had THC on the menu. As someone who no longer drinks alcohol, it is nice to see other options available on the menu.
