Spliffs never disappoints. It's just one of THE best dive bars you'll come across anywhere…read more Some of the best burgers, maybe the best Mac and cheese you'll have anywhere. A fantastic staff, a vast selection of draft beers that change with the season. You'll always find something you like. It's all good but I find it hard to order anything but the burning man which is just the perfect amount of spicy. Get to Spliffs, it's a great place to hang out and also works extremely well for watching a game. If it's been a while, go back. They are still THE standard.

Service was outstanding, big shout out to Kat, our server/bartender. She gave excellent recommendations on what to get for dinner. We have talked about the food every day since going and can't wait to go back! P.S- The grilled onions are SO good. I would eat them straight out of a bowl, like chips, if that was an option!

Sean does a fantastic job keeping the vibe cool and relaxing, and it's a vibe that will continue throughout your night. Don't sleep on this spot, it's so good I'm ordering take out as I type.

So attentive and really knew the menu! I had the red curry - 4 stars for heat and it was just the perfect heat!!! I added the scallops and it was delicious!

Indochine is located above Dorothy's in downtown Jacksonville. It's a short walk from the Hyatt and…read moreconvention center if you're there for a conference. There are stairs, but if you walk straight through to the host/hostess stand at Dorothy's, there is a small elevator available. The décor was nice and there was a decent amount of seating available, enough to accommodate our group of 10 and another large group at the table next to ours. It looked like people came here with their families for special occasions. There was only one person working to cover everything from seating, take out, serving, etc., and he did an amazing job of staying on top of everything. He even took the time to explain to me that they recently decided to make their entire menu (save for the fried items) gluten free due to many requests they'd received from their customers. It was so nice to eat at a place that was so considerate! Their menu is definitely more fusion than authentic. I asked the server for a recommendation and he told me his favorite is the Curry Fried Rice, but it was a big portion, so I opted for his second favorite, the Drunken Noodles. I asked about the spice levels and asked for mine to be more spicy. It wasn't as spicy as I hoped, so I asked for a spice tray and added several spoonfuls of various chili flakes and peppers. My colleagues got the yellow curry and said it was basically flavorless, but they liked their Drunken Noodles. I'm thankful to have the gluten free option, but I was missing the essence of the classic/authentic flavor. Overall, the décor, ambience, and service was great, but the food was just okay.

Above all else - they have always been friendly, accommodating and welcome us with good food, cold drinks & tasty chips & salsa! The restaurant is well decorated & the staff is super helpful. Everything I've tried - tacos, burritos, taquitos, enchiladas - have all been delicious. On good authority, ive heard their chicken soup is incredible (and plentiful).

BB's is one of those local spots I find myself coming back to pretty often. The space is small and…read moreparking can be limited, so depending on when you go, it may be tricky to find a seat. That said, I still really enjoy stopping in. The popovers are my favorite and honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I also love that they're connected with the bakery at Biscotti's, because Biscotti's desserts are A-MA-ZING, especially the cakes. BB's usually has rotating meal options and entrées, which keeps things interesting, and I enjoy seeing what they have available. Some dishes feel more unique than others, but overall the food is generally tasty and thoughtfully done. I'd recommend BB's if you're looking for a cozy local spot with great baked goods, good food, and especially if you want to try the popovers. Just be prepared for limited parking and a smaller seating area.

I ordered a Shawarma plate with a side of spicy fries and an Israeli mango juice. The meal was a lot more than I could eat in one sitting and well seasoned.

The only "drawback" for me is that there's a lot to choose from on the menu!

We enjoyed this so much! Beef Bowl - tasty, I wanted more! Small portion for us. Sisig - different from the usual Sisig. It was not chopped and there was too much fat.

Pulled from my FB memories* Tonight we had a group dinner up at Crispy's Springfield Gallery (or Crispy's 2.0) . Hubby and I started with an order of the Garlic Knots. We both enjoyed them, but agreed that $10 for just 4 knots was on the steeper side, so while we enjoyed them, we probably would opt for something else on a future trip as a starter. We decided to split a Klutho PK pizza and it was delicious! The only thing that could have made this better was adding some spiciness to it, like calibrian oil or something. Overall we had a great experience. Everyone in our party was all smiles and no complaints and I just love it when that happens, so kudos to the staff of Crispy's Jax tonight! Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

My friend ordered a roasted beet salad, and I had bruschetta with Prosciutto. So good! I saw a lot of pizza being ordered, and that looked and smelled delicious. Everybody loved their drinks and their food, and the service was totally amazing. We all plan on going back on a Sunday again soon!
