The fries are very very good and so were the two slices of crispy bacon on my sandwich. My lunch sandwich was just okay and was pricier than necessary, cost didn't include fries either...those were an extra $3. Had a bit of an odd interaction with one of the employees where I personally felt like I was being cat-called but when I shot him a look, he pivoted to asking if I was interested in anything in the dessert case. To-go cashier was nice, I did ask him for ketchup and he mentioned the chef should've already put ketchup in the box...the chef did not. Wish some of the seasoning on the fries made it onto my $20 ancho "spice" turkey sandwich. 3 stars because the ciabatta bread, fries, and strips of bacon were good. I was just visiting and maybe had an off-experience but it was still odd compared to all the rave reviews this place has.

I had been looking for a chilled grown folks lounge. This place hit the description right on the nail. Great calm vibe, amazing food and excellent customer sevice. I had a blackened grilled fish bit sandwich with fries. Both were delectable! For my drink, an old fashion. They offer a variety of foods, drinks and even deserts. There's a miniature bakery counter in back. The music was just the soulful kind of vibe I was looking for. It wasn't over bearing loud, but soft in the background. You could hold a conversation without yelling over the music. Belle my bartender amd the hostesses were friendly and accommodating. I will defintely be back!

Their food is good. No lie. I've dined here for brunch, lunch, and dinner. But the cakes...that's why I keep coming back!

Love this spot for a quick bite before heading out downtown. It's one of my go-tos when we want something easy but still really good. The food is always delicious. The meat and cheese board is perfect for sharing, the steak is a solid choice, and their espresso martinis are so good if you're starting the night with a drink. It's a great place for a quick date night or a casual stop before going out. Easy, cozy vibe and always a reliable pick in Riverside.

Gluten free white truffle pizza
Regan S.

I am so glad that BB's takes in walk ins. Their menu is clearly marked which items are gf. That is awesome to see, and something I found to be lacking in other Jacksonville restaurants. They had a fun happy hour menu too, with a good variety of cheaper drinks and food too. The steak frites were $10, but my heart was set on the gluten free calamari instead. My waitress was Sarah and even though BB's was quite busy, Sarah was fantastic at getting my orders in for gluten free calamari and gluten free white truffle pizza. I ordered a spicy margarita first before moving onto a Black Tie Fizz cocktail. Everything was delicious and I will definitely make a point to come back again if I find myself in Jacksonville again. The gluten free pizza reheated well in the microwave this AM too which is a win. The restaurant itself was really nicely done. The music playing was nice, but not overpowering conversation. I was able to finish a book with my meal.

Steak and eggs
Sasha P.

I FINALLY came to BB's for brunch and loved every minute. What a cute spot, I don't know how I never made it before! First of all, they had popovers, which is one of my favorite things ever - and they were GOOD. I tried the big wedge salad and soup and it was excellent. The steak and eggs and special of the day omelette were also incredible. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly, which is a big deal. I had a paper plane cocktail and it was *chefs kiss*. Our server was on her game and did a great job throughout our meal. We ordered some dessert to go and it was a really fun brunch. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to eat here!

We had the best girls lunch here! Our server was so sweet and fun I wish she could've pulled up a chair. It's definitely close quarters in the dining room and I felt I had to weave around tables to find the bathroom. I definitely want come back and try their dinner menu and that dessert case

Grilled Salmon Salad
Stephanie A.

Amazing food and service! My favorite is the salmon salad! My colleagues and I always grab lunch at BB's!

Wonderful Valentine's Day experience at BB's. We wanted to avoid the busy dinner rush, so we stop by for lunch. The appetizers looked so good that we just stuck with apps and dessert - the shrimp lollipops were excellent, and the duck wonton creatively prepared and quite flavorful. The stuffed mozzarella bruschetta was not one of my favorites, but it was still decent - the bruschetta was cooked more like a large soft pretzel. We finished it off with a shared serving of the caramel apple pie with ice cream... mmmm, Delicious. All in, pricing averaged about $50 per person. Service from Caitlin was good, nothing exceptional but overall efficient. Plenty of free parking, and an easy location to access right off the highway. Overall a great experience, even on a busy holiday weekend.

Side salad

I haven't been back to Bb's for several years because I wasn't impressed the first time I came... but boy was I wrong! Their lunch was spectacular! And Jamie was the best server I have had in a really long time. She was attentive but not overbearing. Always around when we needed something. The ambiance was terrific but I think the tables were a little too close together.... The calamari was on point! So tender and juicy and the sauce was so so delicious, had a hint of curry. The shrimp and grits was orgasmic.... I usually love my grits with lots of cheese, but this dish came with a creamy tomato sauce on the outside that paired so perfectly with the grits it doesn't even need cheese! It also had a delicious tomato jam with it. Unfortunately this dish is only available on Wednesday The steak lunch was kinda chewy but good flavor. The only downside to the menu would be that it has only apps, pizza, sandwiches and salads. I would like to see more entrees!

Jax Tours' chef's tasting included Brussels sprouts, Shrimp Lollipops, and salmon dip. Yum!

I came here with a food tour through Jax Tours. Our final stop and grand finale at BB's completely blew me away. We started with warm, perfect popovers and honey butter (honestly life-changing). Then came a chef's tasting featuring salmon dip with veggies and house-made chips, Brussels sprouts, and a shrimp lollipop--every single item was outstanding. Dessert was their croissant bread pudding with vanilla ice cream, which truly was the icing on the cake.

A really lovely time at BB's with my girlfriends last week. The restaurant was nice and cozy, with plenty of room between parties and not too loud. Our server was prompt and checked on us frequently. I had the vodka arrabiatta with shrimp and scallops and could have licked the plate clean the sauce was so good, and the scallops were perfectly cooked. Lastly we got some cakes to go on my friend's recommendation and were given some HUGE slices that are sure to last me the next few days. So glad to have discovered this great restaurant in San Marco!

Pasta dish
Melanie P.

Let me start by saying the food was delicious hence the 3 stars. The desert was excellent but there is no way the plate I received was worth $42 US dollars!! To be fair, there is one shrimp missing and a fork full of pasta. It was a to-go order so presentation was compromised. But a picture is worth a thousand words! Enjoy!!

Off the bat, the ambience of this place is superb. When we dine in we love to visit places that are…read morethoughtfully thought out. Why spend a lot of money eating at an establishment that doesn't enhance the experience? The food also was flavorful and the passion fruit margaritas was superb. I love margaritas but hate it when it's made with a pre-made mix. (It should be a crime.) Barteco uses high quality tequila and freshly squeezed juice that way a margarita should be made. For the food, I got 3 tacos (ahi-tuna, prime beef, sesame ribeye), my wife got the ahi-tuna rice entree, and for our two daughters they shared the quesadillas from the kids menu. Our favorite was definitely the ahi-tuna. One warning is that the portions are quite small, but they do tell you on the menu! However, the prices are reasonable for such quality and tasty food! The kids entree was also sub $10 which is rare to find AND it actually was a decent sized portion and had left overs. On top of that the hostess and server were friendly and knowledgeable. We're already planning on coming back already with some friends. The margarita in the carafe is calling us. What else can you ask for?

Really loved this restaurant and vibe! We came around 5pm and it was too busy so we got seated…read moreimmediately. The interior was decorated fresh coastal vibes, I'd imagine Newport Beach restaurant vibes. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. He explained their ordering process which is to make on this sheet what you want and to put this card up if you need the waiter for anything else. I loved that they had an organized process. They have a QR code on the table you can order from and pay. But if you order using the paper sheet they provide you, you can't pay from the QR code. We started off with margaritas (regular and spicy) which were amazing! For an appetizer we got the pork tamale. Really good flavor maybe too much masa though. It was a thick layer. The green verde sauce on top was delicious. The tacos are small and are about 3-5 bites so you want to order more than 3 in my opinion which was perfect because I wanted to try a few different ones. We got chicken tinga, mojo pork carnitas, pork belly, ahi tuna tatako, carne asada, seared chorizo. I loved each one! We will be back for sure!
