    Inside
    Matthew M.

    The service was ok, it seemed like a lot of the employees weren't happy with how busy it was but overall good people! The vibe inside was kinda crazy, it was pretty slammed but they had tvs on to help with the wait. The tables are close so it can be loud but nothing too bad. The food was ok. The steak was over cooked but she said it was juicy and good, the broccoli and mashed taters were good too! The combo platter had a little for every palette. The burger was good too, what you would expect from Applebees, he lovedd the bacon . My bourbon chicken and shrimp was more burnt tasting but well seasoned, shrimp hits and them taters were good all mixed in. Give it a go!

    Salmon and Mexican corn

    The service was great. We walked right in and we were seated. The waitress was very helpful and checked on us frequently. I ordered the Mexican salmon and corn. That was really good!

    Quesadilla Burger Basket Fries
    Marnie P.

    The family and I haven't been to this Applebees in probably 10 years or so after so many sub par experiences, but my kiddo wanted to give it a try so we stopped by on a Saturday afternoon around 5pm. It wasn't busy so we were seated immediately by a friendly host and our waitress came right out to get our drink orders. I cannot rave enough about our waitress because she was so attentive and patient with our 5 year old son who loves to talk to everyone, she really made our whole experience even better. I grabbed a Bahama Mama (which used to be my go-to drink in my 20s) and it still tasted the same, great taste and not super strong for a weakling like me lol. I grabbed the quesadilla burger and fries and they were perfection! The fries were seasoned well and hot. The burger was messy and cooked perfectly, just like all great burgers are! My son raved about the kids meal pizza and said he wanted to come back the next day to get another one . My husband also enjoyed his Whiskey Bacon Burger and fries. The only negative about the whole experience was the restaurant is still in rough shape, especially the dirty looking ceiling tiles. One day maybe Applebees will do some renovations!!

    Black bean burger that fell apart.
    Megan E.

    I ordered a black bean burger that completely fell apart and was unable to be consumed as a burger. I paid for avocado to be added and 2.5 thin slices of avocado were on top that didn't cover even half the burger. They also forgot to add sautéed onions that came on the burger so I had to ask for a side. The brisket quesadilla was a huge letdown and was more tortilla then brisket and cheese. The fries have no seasoning. All the food ordered looks and tastes completely different than how it was made to look in the picture so it was just very disappointing. Service was very slow but our server was nice. But my bf says the southern egg rolls are good.

    a pink drink with ice

    We sat eating our food for almost a hour listening to the bar manager female with red hair and a female manager with black hair, completely disrespectful and degrade a poor employee. I was absolutely disgusted, I didn't even want to finish my meal. My husband and I were so upset hearing this and listening to this happen to this poor mother DEPENDING on this paycheck to support her family. Applebees manager or someone in charge NEEDS to deal with these two ladies, I really don't believe the disrespect and attitude they gave this poor lady is reasonable. WE WILL NOT, be coming back to this Applebees unless something changes!

    Wings are way better than wing zones. They are cooked perfectly and with great flavor.

We enjoy coming on Tuesdays for the pizza deal. Today we ordered the shotgun shrimp appetizer, a side salad, and the 33 Deluxe small pizza. We also decided to try a strawberry and a blackberry lemonade. After a short wait our shrimp and salad were delivered. Both were good. Our lemonades were delicious! Of course the pizza was delivered after we finished our appetizers. The pizza was great. Our server, EmilyB, was great. Always positive and smiling. We also noticed Japanese baseball was on. Didn't expect that honestly. This restaurant always has an active and vibrant atmosphere. There's seating for all types and television screens everywhere. During football season, this place is packed! The reviews are all over the place. We have always had a good experience here. If you're unsure about trying Bubba's 33, I recommend giving it a try. They have a variety that fits almost all appetites.

She was friendly, efficient, and truly looked like she enjoyed interacting with her customers. The chips and queso were very good!! I ordered chicken wings and they were slightly overcooked and a little dry. My colleague said his wings were very good. It is a typical family style / sports bar type restaurant. There were a LOT of TVs and management was very accommodating when ensuring the football games were on viewable TVs. I will definitely return to this or any other Bubba's 33 in the future.

    Another truly outstanding experience at Duck's Bar and Grill…read more From one business owner to another, I have a deep appreciation for what you're doing here. Everything--from the atmosphere to the execution--is top tier. But what really sets you apart is your attention to detail and genuine care for your customers. Our waitress tonight, Kaila, was absolutely phenomenal. She picked up on something most people would overlook--I don't use straws--and brought my drink without one, without me even having to ask. That may seem small to some, but to me, that level of awareness and intentional service speaks volumes. It's those little things that create unforgettable experiences and separate good businesses from truly great ones. Kaila absolutely crushed it tonight, and it's clear your team is operating at a very high level. Keep doing what you're doing--you've built something special.

I could taste no blackening seasoning and the portion of meat in the pasta was incredible light. A colleague had the shrimp and grits and he said they were really good. My third colleague had the weekly special - pesto ziti. He said the meatballs were good, but the rest of the dish lacked flavor. The inside of the restaurant is divided into two with a large bar / lounge area that looked inviting. The dining side was comfortable, but dated. I would absolutely give them another try next time I'm in Jacksonville.

    We had such high hopes for this place. We love touristy themed restaurants like Jungle Cafe and…read morelocal restaurants with a near theatrical level of decor and presentation. But we also want good food and service. We didn't find any of that here. Some great effort and details on the pirate theme, all the way down to the door knobs in the bathrooms. There are fun pirate statues around the dining room, great for selfies. And there are skeletons and much sailing masts and sails hanging from the ceiling. But it ends there, the staff is not really engaged with the theme, no costumes or pirate accidents. Thats ok too, but we felt the staff was just over worked and too few of them. I would give them a 4 for the decor effort. The food. It was just okay, and really expensive. Priced like it was some destination themed restaurant hitting all the marks but it did not. We don't mind paying top dollar for a great meal. But this was lunch and with no alcohol (we don't drink) are bill was almost $90 for lunch. I had ordered the dry rub winds for an app. Anywhere in the world that means a dry rub on a fried or rarely baked wing and no batter. What I was saved was a chicken nugget like you'd buy in. a bag at the grocery store with maybe a tiny bit of chili powder mixed into the batter. There was no dry rub no the nuggets simply were not very good. My wife ordered a bowl of soup and ribs on the side. She liked the ribs and tangy sauce. The chicken soup had peppers in it which she can't eat. The menu said just like Mom used to make, dies your mom put peppers in her chick soup, not table pepper but actual peppers. I ordered a double cheeseburger and fries. The fries were ok. The waitress asked me how I wanted the meat, from rare to well done. I asked for medium rare, that should have some pink inside and be juicy. I received a well don burger with dried out and tasteless meat. It was served so hot that it melted through the tomato and bread on the bottom. It also came with an onion ring. That was cold limp and dripping with oil. A real disappointment for a $17 dollar burger. Last was the drink, I ordered a diet soda, it tasted like those suicide drinks 8 year old boys make when they take a little of each drink at the soda fountain to be funny and then won't drink it because it was gross.

Here's what we liked for a party of 3. *Immediate seating, and a variety of choices- low top, high top and bar. * Service was good, like honest good. Like she actually enjoyed being there. It was almost weird in a good way. * Decent draft beer list and cocktails. * The pirate vibe / decor was fun. * The hush puppies they brought out and the honey butter. Don't know you could even get these. * Fried pickles were crispy and good. * The loaded fried were different, curvy waves of potatoes and good coverage of toppings. * Daughter loved the two cocktails she had and $ price seemed reasonable. * Lots of tvs if you wanted to watch a game. Here's what could of been better: * Beer should be ice cold this was coolish. * The pretzel and beer was subpar, wouldn't recommend. * The boneless chicken reminded me of a basic Tyson chicken bite. Not good. Overall a nice hangout kind of place. I would checkout more of their menu and events.

We went here to shoot pool, they had apparently remodeled and purchased the store next door and expanded. The place looked brighter and cleaner. New looking tables, the bartender Susie was very friendly and helpful. The strike against them was their food or at least their chicken wings. They had these big drum sticks, no flats and they were over cooked and down right just plain BAD. Told the bartender she apologized and said would fix some more but they didn't have any flats again it would be the big drumsticks. We declined and asked to swap for a sandwich. The bartender apparently isn't given the permission to make such an easy decision to keep customers satisify. She had to call the manager and then we waited, and waited over an hour an a half. I finally asked for a credit to my bill, again the bartender had to call the manager. Once the manager arrived she was very nice and apologized for the issues. She credited the food. She asked for us to comeback for a better experience. I will try again and hopefully will give a better report on my next visit. Again the people were nice and the place looked good, it was just the food we ordered and the wait to resolve the issue.
