    Breakfast Burrito
    Dawn P.

    We have driven past Beach Diner for 7 months and have always seen a line outside. We were finally able to stop in and I'm not sure what the fuss is about. The service was good, but the food was average, and the ambiance was lacking. It looked like everything had 10 coats of white paint on it. There are so many other options in the area that I don't think we'll be back.

    Egg on the bayou

    Mostly a breakfast crowd. The place is busy so the servers are rushed. The reuben was good but definitely needed more thousand island dressing. The eggs on the bayou is excellent and unique. The potato salad needs to be diced more, as well as more mayonnaise and a bit of spice might help as well. The prices were ok. I guess they have a lot of overhead given the location.

    Breakfast

    From the time we walked in, we were greeted and received the best service! The ambiance is casual and relaxed, like the diner on the beach. The food was hot & tasty. The menu is perfect and offers breakfast or lunch. This location is located in a strip mall and has outdoor seating as well. Highly recommend!

    What a great spot to stop after a long day of shopping. I sat outside on a beautiful day which is always a nice option. I had a burger since it had been awhile since I'd had one and this one did not disappoint. The fries were also crisp and well seasoned. The lemonade was great, not too sweet or overly tart.

    Side pancake that comes with our entree.  Fluffy and delicious.

    Hubby and I decided to giver Beach Diner Mandarin a try on a recent sunny Saturday morning. There were several tables but overall, pretty quiet. Given it was still pretty early and the weather still mild enough, we opted for outdoor seating. We were seated right away by a friendly hostess, and the server came quickly to take our drink order as we looked over the menu. I ordered the classic steak & eggs with pancakes and hubby ordered two soft poached eggs with corned beef hash. Both dishes were pretty good. Hubby said this is probably his 'go to' corned beef hash restaurant in Jacksonville next time he craves it (and doesn't want to cook it himself). Overall we enjoyed our experience. It was quiet and pleasant (probably due to the time of day), service prompt & friendly, and food is tasty. We'd come back again to try different items.

    I met my aunt and uncle for lunch today here at beach diner. Generally, they do OK with their meals however, today was very much an off day. The meal was overcooked when brought to the waiters attention. It was redone however the kitchen staff rather than making a change, they prepared the meal, the exact same way and the same overcooked manner. The waiter response was I told him I don't know what else to do. Personally, and when he saw that he was overcooked, he should not have brought it to begin with. I think I'm gonna take a break from beach diner. On a sidenote, it was beautiful outside which made it very nice to spend the day.

    Left coast omelette - minus the hollandaise sauce, with fruit as a side -delicious

    This diner is in a strip mall in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville. We've been coming here at least twice a month for the last six months. We have never had a bad breakfast nor have we ever been served with anybody that didn't have a smile on their face. Everyone is always so nice and the food is delicious. I typically get the western omelette or the left coast. My husband gets the sausage gravy and biscuits quite often has only complete is they should have more gravy on it but if you ask for it, they put extra on there at no charge. I honestly have no idea why there are so many bad reviews and why this place isn't a solid four star

    Beach Diner is kind of a staple in the Mandarin area. Has been around a long time and there are lots of regulars that have been going there for years. They serve traditional diner food hot and quick. It might not be the most creative of food, but it's always of good quality and portions. Their owner, Stan, is there frequently walking around saying hello to folks. I've never had bad service there. It's a comfortable and familiar place.

    Cyber Monday '22 Lunch Specials! Many delicious choices to help start the new week at the diner.

    My local go to diner for a wonderful breakfast every time! Management and staff treat customers like their own family and the diner always feels like a home away from home. Staff is friendly and professional. The beach themed decor is cool and helps make my dining experience very relaxing. Delicious food that is always fresh and tasty!

    Traditional Eggs Benedict (Single)

    I enjoyed this little place so much! They had a nice selection of food and it all tasted incredible, not to mention it came out so quickly! The prices were very reasonable as well. Tons of locals coming through here, just watching the employees interact with the customers you could tell it's a hot local spot with tons of regulars. If you are in the area or on vacation make sure to come here for breakfast.

    This is what my wife's sister got. She loved it!

    We went to Beach Diner today lunch for my wife's birthday. We love Beach Diner! We both had the pancakes with turkey sausage. We both think it's the best pancakes we've had in a very long time!!! Definitely recommend Beach Diner and their pancakes. Everything else on the menu is just as good! My wife's sister loved what she got. It was her first time going to Beach Diner. Service was fast and super friendly. Everyone there is so nice including the owner. Restaurant is always clean.

    We have not been here in years. The diner is light and airy. We simply love the family atmosphere. We both had the short stack. I had french toast with unsweetened syrup, turkey sausage and eggs with onions and peppers. Wifey had small stack with pancakes and cheesy gits. Our only complaint were the pancakes. They will big but not cooked all the way. We told the waitress about it not complain but to see if Beach diner offered silver dollar pancakes. Our complaint was resolved. Beach Diner has other locations but at the Mandarin location there was lttile to no wait for our table, our food and the check. Until we meet again!

    We stopped in for breakfast today and it was so tasty! We were welcomed in and we chose to sit outside since it was lovely this morning.

    Toasted Bagel Sandwich with pastrami & home fries was excellent. Egg sakad on a pita. Coffee was great!

    Since this restaurant opened in our neighborhood, we've been coming here regularly. At their…read moreprevious location, the space was much smaller, often crowded, and the parking lot was limited, so we didn't visit very often. The food is consistently served just as it should be--hot dishes arrive hot, cold dishes arrive cold, and we never have to wait long for our meals. The staff remembers us and always greets us warmly. It's the kind of place where you can truly relax and feel as comfortable as if you were eating at home. The dining area is bright and very clean. The décor has a contemporary art vibe that would look great in photos and on social media. Parking is plentiful and easy to navigate. Having Walmart in the same shopping center is also very convenient, since we can stop by for errands on the way home. This has become one of our favorite local spots.

    Canopy Road Cafe is usually hopping and there's good reason for that. We had a wait on this Sunday,…read morebut that was mainly because there was rain outside and there tables in the patio weren't accessible. The wait was well worth it. The restaurant itself is small, the space used well. The decor bright and clean and all the service from the time of check in, along with the meal was stellar. With this being my first visit, I went for the basics for my breakfast. The eggs, coffee and sausage were really good. I like my coffee a bit stronger, but that's a preference thing. The hash browns were so crispy, so tasty. Some of the best I've had. No soft middle, just cooked to perfection. The pancake fantastic as well. Great taste, great consistency, just a hint of sugar. Canopy Road Cafe is a really solid choice for your breakfast or brunch and I highly recommend you give them a try.

Mother's Day specials were available but none of us ordered from that menu. I had the lunch size spaghetti and meatballs and it was pretty good! And still a good portion. I also had their espresso martini (mocktail version) and that was lovely as well. Last time I went our service wasn't my favorite experience but this time went much better! Cooper's hawk - you have redeemed yourself. One thing to note - it does get super loud in there and it can be hard to hear people at your own table. So if you're looking for somewhere intimate and quiet, skip it this time!

The bar was pretty full when we arrived, so we took a seat on the couch for a second, before we decided to start browsing the beers in the frig and on the wall! Such an interesting place. I chose a beer to take home. Tyler the bartender introduced himself to me and we chatted a bit, and he took my order. Such a nice guy! The 1st time I ordered a Quad and the Gringo nachos. The bar was full, and people were shooting pool and playing darts. Tyler was the bartender again, and he remembered me. Then also the owner's son introduced himself to us. Such a good vibe here! I order a Quad, and it was on special for $4.99 a pint! Scored on that one! Also ordered the grilled cheese and sweet potato fries (I met to order the zucchini sticks) Next time! The Quad was great! I don't know why that grilled cheese was so freaking good! (it's just grilled cheese, right?) lol the sweet potato fries were also good but let me tell you about that made from scratch ranch dressing! Hidden valley ain't got nothing on this Ranch Dressing! It took those sweet potatoes fries to the next level They do run out of items, so make sure you have a 2nd option in mind! They also make from scratch, pretzels and perogies.
