Definitely worth the hype and the trek!…read more I've been seeing this spot all over TikTok and finally made the drive out on a Tuesday afternoon. It's such a cool location right on the water by the ferry, & the vibe is super relaxed with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and lawn games like cornhole. The staff were incredibly friendly & walked us through their order at the counter setup as soon as we walked in. The food was a 10/10. The turkey was so juicy, literally tasted like Thanksgiving, & the ribs were seasoned perfectly with a generous portion size. I also have to mention the sides: the okra & collard greens were my personal favorites! We tried all their sauces, but the datil pepper one is a must-try if you like a little local flavor. They also have a full bar and some fun spiked slushies. Even though I didn't try the brisket sandwich myself, my dad loved it & said they'd come back just for that. I'm already planning my next trip to try the smoked wings and the brisket. If you're looking for great BBQ with a view, Billy Jack's is it. I'll definitely be back!

Good, perhaps not great, but quite good. My friend and I had to investigate given the hype and what…read morewe found was a very fast food--looking place, bright but simple, even spartan, interior, nice and fast service, reasonable prices. But, beyond the expected hamburgers and a great selection of shakes, they have chicken 'n' waffles, fried shrimp, and other dishes. Everything is indeed fast food yet at the same time tastes homemade. My shrimp were good though a bit too salty for my liking, the waffle fries fine, the bread roll (really? not hushpuppies?) ok if weird to me to include in a seafood basket. Their house MotLee's Sauce is certainly the sauce to ask for, by the way. All in all, a good, economical choice for fast food plus to support something local and unique.

Stopped by here on our way back to Jax today, very conveniently located right off I-10. I had the…read morechicken tenders that came with fries and a biscuit, as well as a strawberry milkshake. Husband got a smash burger with sweet potato fries and a Heath bar shake. Everything was served quickly by the nice young man behind the counter, all was hot and looked great. Everything was delicious, with the highpoints being the sweet potato waffle fries, the biscuit, and the milkshakes. I got ranch and the Motlee sauce for my chicken and both were excellent, the ranch is def homemade. We'll be back around the next time we head in or out on I-10, although it's only 30 minutes from where I live in Jax, so we might make the drive just for dinner one night.

While driving from the north and headed south, we got off of Interstate 95 and took A1A. Not many…read morerestaurants along this route in northern Florida; but, we passed the Sandollar and saw multiple cars; so we did a U turn and went in for lunch. That was probably the best decision of the day! I ordered the clam chowder and my wife ordered the crab bisque; clam chowder had more clam than I have found in many other offerings around the east coast. The crab bisque also had lots of crab meat. I had the fish sandwich; it was good too. My wife had the shrimp po boy; also good. But the star was the hush puppies which were sweet and tasty; the waitress, Sydney, offered the cinnamon butter which added another layer of greatness to the bus puppies and the meal. Our only regret is that this restaurant is in Florida instead of Virginia!

Perfect location with views of the river from every seat…read more I came around 3pm on a Thursday so it wasn't busy at all. The service was great! I had the platter for one. I think I solved the riddle from some of the other reviews about soggy food. The platters are too small. The steam from the food on bottom made the crust on my catfish a little soggy. I still ate the shit out of it because it was GOOD! I had the grits. They are perfect! I don't like them soupy. I suspect the reason other reviewers are whining about long wait times is because a lot of folks are enjoying the good food and service!!

I HAD to try the spaghetti. I love hot dogs - I love banana ketchup - I love spaghetti! ... but together? Uhhhh... you only live once, right? So I ordered it. Was it good? Surprisingly, YES! Very. I get the hype. Their chicken is crispy and juicy and with a spicy option I was all in. Please open a location in Melbourne, FL. We have such a large filipino crowd here and everyone loves fried chicken.

We usually stop by here on our way to and from port Canaveral, but unfortunately this may be our…read morelast time. It is ridiculous how they are ALWAYS out of something. Not to mention the behavior is nonchalant! How is this business still open when they could care less about properly managing this establishment and keeping simple items available instead of offering an excuse! We have brought family members and bragged about certain things just to be told, we're out of this or that. The food isn't cheap either but the customer service is lacking and I have never ate at a place other than here that hoards their napkins! Then the napkins are so cheap, you need at least 5 to properly wipe your mouth. I pay for extra sauce and jalapeños on a sandwich of which they always forget. Is this an oversight or another way to attempt to get over? Also there is always a dining room attendant present in the dining area, but yet we always have to wipe our table and chairs before dining, why? I am so over this place! The chicken is good but it isn't that good to continue with the disappointment!

I had the kismet - omg the combo with the hot honey had me inhaling it. We also tried their Mac and cheese. It has a hint of chipotle but it's not hot, noodles perfectly cooked and plenty of creamy sauce - so delicious and topped with bacon bits(real). There was a line to order when we came in, tons of take out orders and a dozen table in and outside. With all that once we ordered it only took a few minutes for our order. There were 5 people in the open kitchen and 2 order takers. The decor is pretty much burger joint. Not a bunch of space between the tables.

Hubby had a last minute emergency call to one of his properties this evening after getting home for…read morethe day, so we decided to hop in the truck, go knock out the work and then grab a burger from our favorite burget spot in Jax, Carolina Jax I got the Hurricane which comes with white American, grilled jalapenos, white cheddar Mac, bacon, and Chipotle sauce. This was my first time getting this burger and I loved every last CRUMB of this burger. I tend to switch it up every time I come because of much I enjoy the burgers (and the chicken sandwich), but this just may be my go-to going forward because man, was this crazy good. Hubby got his usual which is the OBX. That comes with poblano mayo, cajun ranch, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and keylime guacamole. He literally gets this every single time and never deviates. We usually split a tray of the bacon ranch fries but we decided to switch it up a little and get the nachos fries. While the nachos fries were great, we both agreed that we like the bacon ranch ones much more. We also agreed that next time, we're going to get the Jax Style fries and compare those as well. We got here around 8pm and as per usual the line was out the door and stayed that way through the duration of our meal. It's not difficult to see why their voted Number 1 in Jax.

Long time visitor, first time reviewer. I know, I know. About time…read more What is there to say about Sub Cultured that hasn't been said already? Everything on the menu is delicious, the staff is wonderful, and they stand up to bigotry in their own backyard. You can't get much better than that. The only drawback (if you can even consider it one) is just figuring out a good time to arrive to avoid a line. Regardless, even if there is one, the staff moves through it quickly and efficiently. As Sub Cultured is a walk-up window, there's some outside tables to sit, as well as the option of sitting in your car for that car-hop action. Otherwise, you're so close to the beach and parks that taking your sandwiches for a picnic isn't a bad idea either. If you can't find parking immediately at Sub Cultured, there's a little shopping center just next door since there doesn't seem to be much for street parking outside of their handful of spots. All of that said, I'm a transplant to Jacksonville via the Navy since 2004. One of the biggest cravings that I have from back home is a real authentic sausage, pepper, and onion grinder. I can't even begin to describe to y'all how great Sub Cultured's is with that spicy Italian sausage and perfectly cooked peppers and onions. Add a little spicy brown mustard and you're all set.
