Just had breakfast at Canopy Road Café for the first time today and was very pleased…read more The hostesses and my server, James, were friendly and accommodating, and the food was fresh and delicious (real homemade, none of this frozen "corporate" food). I ordered their cinnamon roll, and it was so yummy (and I'm a stickler for a good cinnamon roll)! I also ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on Texas toast with hash-browns. The sandwich was great, but will I say the hashbrowns were just OK -- I'll probably go with the country potatoes next time. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience I would definitely come back. *I didn't get a pic of the cinnamon roll, but, trust me, it was good!

I got too busy yapping so I missed out on taking pics of my food. But I had a lovely meal. This was…read moremy first time at any canopy road cafe and it was pretty good. I had French toast (just the regular but the cinnamon roll French toast looked really tempting). It was just slightly crispy around the edges and I love that. So often I will get French toast that's a little too mushy. This was great. I also had a side of bacon. Also crispy! I was pretty stuffed but I did also take a bite of my hash brown. It was delicious too and if I had more space I would have eaten it all. The coffee was great diner/cafe coffee. And if you enjoy that type, you'll know exactly what I mean. I drank it black and they also gave me a cup to go! We did have to wait a couple minutes for a table but not long at all. They turn over tables pretty quickly! Our server was wonderful and really on the ball. Our food came out pretty quickly too, in spite of them being quite busy. It was a little loud in there but not so much we couldn't hear each other. I do like that they have counter seating as an option! We needed a table this round to spread out coloring materials lol. But the counter looks like a nice place to sit too. Might have to go back to try the cinnamon roll French toast and a coffee next time!

I had a veggie breakfast skillet... lots of garden veggies with pepper jack cheese, home fries, and English muffin. (I've also tried the BLT Benedict which I loved... avocado, bacon, arugula, and tomatoes over English muffin, topped with poached eggs and creamy hollandaise sauce!! Very yummy!! My children have loved trying some of their specialty griddle plates like Churro Waffles and Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast.) Definitely a fun little cafe to visit for breakfast!

Their orange juice is fresh squeezed and reminds me of the juice you get over in parts of Europe, it's SO good!!! My husband had the Fried Green Tomato Benedict with the Hollandaise sauce on the side, said it was yummy (I'm not a green tomato fan so didn't try it) The service was great and attentive. Definitely going back again

Grumpy's absolutely delivered. I had the fried chicken Benedict with pancakes on the side, and…read morewhew... you're gonna need to be rolled out of there when you're done. The fried chicken was crispy, the Benedict was packed with flavor, and the pancakes were the size of hubcaps. The hash browns were excellent too. Service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere had that classic hometown breakfast spot feel where everyone seems happy to be there. Great food, huge portions, and prices that won't make you grumpy. We'll definitely be back.

I was on my way to visit family and decided I didn't want to arrive empty handed. I stopped in to…read moreParlor Doughnuts and I can't even explain how I regret it. The staff was so extremely nice and even offered to make anything I wanted (many of the items were already sold). I mentioned wanting a caramel latte (not on the menu) and the young gentleman volunteered to make it anyway. The service alone was 12/10. Now I don't even want to get started on the doughnuts. Everything was good. I chose 5 different items and I can't even tell you which one I liked the best. All of them were equally amazing, flaky and sweet. We even warmed them to give them a lil edge. Overall, this place is dangerously accommodating and equally tasty. It's the best new thing I've tried all year.

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. Our local family friends highly…read morerecommended Parlor Doughnuts while we were visiting Jacksonville, and after reading all of the rave reviews, we knew we had to try it. It somehow exceeded every expectation. The coffee was incredible, and they had such a fun selection of specialty drinks. We ordered the breakfast burritos, and they were absolutely phenomenal. They were packed with flavor, made fresh, and honestly just as memorable as the doughnuts themselves. Speaking of the doughnuts... I don't even know where to begin. They're unlike any doughnut I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with creative flavors. If you're on a diet, you might want to avoid this place because once you have one, you'll want to try them all. The service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of energy. We loved our first visit so much that we came back a second time during the same trip, which says everything. My fiancé walked out saying he wanted to open a Parlor Doughnuts in our hometown because it was that good. This is one of those places that completely lives up to the hype. If you're anywhere near Jacksonville, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

What a great place to get day drunk!!! They have a lot more alcoholic drink options than most…read morebreakfast joints in Jacksonville. I would say they are #2 or #3 top brekkie spots in the area in regard to variety and quality of food. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was amazing! Slightly oily on top but the grits were perfectly seasoned. Amanda was a great server and the inside decor is cute and inviting. Will definitely return!

Here I go again. And loving every minute…read more The breading on that chicken sandwich wasn't just light--it was practically glittering. Seasoned so flawlessly I'm convinced a culinary fairy godmother tapped it with her wand. And that salmon sandwich? BABY. It didn't surprise me-- it snatched my wig, slid on my heels, and strutted across the table like it owned the establishment. I wasn't ready. I wasn't worthy. That portion was enormous, that cut was elegant, and I nearly applauded when it arrived. Service? Oh, darling. Legendary. I'm almost certain his name was Josh. The man glided over like he had cues, marks, and a script. Attentive without hovering, charming without trying, helpful without hustling. A hospitality KING. Give that man a crown and a raise. I've eaten my way through this sandwich menu like it was my personal world tour--and guess what? I'm starting back at the top for the encore. The fries? ICONIC. Crisp, golden, irresistible. If you order the chicken sandwich, do yourself a spiritual favor: put that ketchup down like it just insulted your mother, and grab a small cup of that sauce on your chicken for dipping. Your taste buds will ascend and you'll thank me later. Now... the Paloma. My God. That drink sashayed onto the scene sparkling with grapefruit glamour and citrus attitude. It wasn't just flavorful--it was flavorful with FEELINGS. Bright, bold, bodacious. Smooth enough to lull you into diva-level bliss, strong enough to make you saddle up and say, "Another round--because I'm not done being dramatic."

Metro Diner has since become a regular goto place for fast and efficient service and food. We don't know the full menu yet. Over the past visits we have tried the teriyaki salmon, meatloaf, ribs, fish and chips and chicken pot pie. All of these were superb. Also we usually have two eggs, over easy for me and well fried for her with an entree or sometimes a bowl of oatmeal with various fixing. A full line of pancakes and waffles as well and really, my challenge is to insist on holding back the usual pile of pancakes as I am to old to carry all of it away! If you are retired military, be sure to flash your id for a discount - yeah, it is that kind of place. Family and community values are clear from the decor and ambiance. Finally, the price. Last night a great pork chop, which has become my usual choice with two eggs and coffee and two eggs, grits, and toast for her and under 40 bucks including tip.

Acted like I was just another thing to do. At $15 a plate, I expected a smile, a look of appreciation for a good tip, and a thank you for coming in. In my opinion, the other wait staff are resentful of kindness and appreciation. Tips are payed accordingly.

Mario and his staff are all genuine human beings! That is a trait that is so hard to find among those in the service industry. Most are out to make a quick buck and call it a day, then Rinse & repeat the next day. I don't get that vibe from ANYONE at Cafe Genovese. THE MOMENT any customer swings open the door they are greeted with a 'Hey guys' if not even addressed by name.... After all the logo on their uniform shirts states ' 'Cafe Genovese.... Where we don't forget your name!' The food is always made perfectly to your specifications! Not once have I EVER sent an order back because it wasn't right the first time. The menu lists extensive options for both breakfast and lunch... so you just can't go wrong! Give 'em a try! You're likely to become regulars just like I did!
