    My first visit to this Metro Diner! It was pretty busy for a weekday afternoon but we only waited 5 minutes for a table for 2 and were greeted by our server immediately once seated. I would've given 5 stars if not for the fact that they didn't have the pot roast that my dad wanted. It literally was one of the featured dishes of the day and they were out of it already by 1230 in the afternoon. I guess it must be pretty good. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it truly did not disappoint. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside deliciousness served with their tobasco and maple syrup mix. If you've never tried it, you are missing out. Also the waffles are fluffy and yummy topped with their so good strawberry butter! I highly recommend. It is such a large serving, I have enough for another meal. I am looking forward to going back and trying something else from the large variety on the menu!

    Whenever we are in Jacksonville we hit up a Metro Diner. The one we usually go to is much smaller than this one, so this was a nice surprise. The dining room was completely full, but the patio had tables available so that's where we sat (the weather was gorgeous). As per usual, the service was excellent, as was the food. Hubby and I each had the Bissell meal. I'm a sucker for Metro Diner pancakes! I would recommend this place 10/10 times.

    Diner ambiance is spot on with fun specials and delicious food. I do wish they would change up the menu but everything they serve is great. The hustle in the viewable and open kitchen adds to the nostalgic diner experience

    Bissell Breakfast

    I ordered the Bissel breakfast and it's supposed to come with two eggs scrambled. What I got was less than one, watery and cold. The cheese grits - the cheese did not mix or melt, it was a gross, rubbery mass. I've never had problems with Metro before but someone's cutting corners.

    Metro Diner is the place where you do not know what you're going to get but you are hungry because you can almost get anything here lol. This particular Metro Diner is located at Roosevelt, they have their own parking spot and easy to find. We have been here many times and stopped going. My friend and I decided to go here on a saturday afternoon, I did not know that they are busy and we waited for a table. Once we got our table we waited for a few minutes before getting served, usually they are quick but I guess they were just very busy. I ordered the omellete and my friend order the chicken pot pie. we both like it our order and I kept forgetting to go here since they have good food and the price is actually not to bad. Friend chicken here is really good too especially with the waffle and that strawberry creme they have!

    Avocado toast with bacon and red onion. This was a hit!

    We came back! However, we all ordered something different. I had the crusade French toast with blueberries. It was light and flaky with just the right amount of powdered trigger. We started with the avocado toast with bacon and red onion. Which was not disappointing. He had the chicken and waffles. They were served with a hot sauce syrup, and strawberry butter. The chicken was hot, crispy and juicy. The waffle was a malted waffle, which we always love. Our waitress was efficient, polite, and professional. The atmosphere was all a buzz as it was a Sunday morning. The staff handled the crowd well. It is a little loud in there with so many people, but manageable. No complaints from our crowd, thanks again for your service.

Our visit to Biscottis in Jacksonville's Avondale neighborhood managed to do both. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and seated immediately, and the atmosphere had a welcoming energy that made the restaurant feel like a true neighborhood gathering place. Susan ordered the Quiche Lorraine, and after the first bite we both knew it was something special. The crust was delicate and buttery while the filling was rich and perfectly balanced. It was so impressive that we awarded it our Culinary Duo Best of the Best dish recognition, which is something we reserve for truly standout dishes. Peter went in a different direction and ordered the Sweet Potato Pancakes with house made white cheddar hash browns. The pancakes were flavorful and comforting, and the hash browns were crispy with bold cheddar flavor that made them impossible to stop eating. Another thing we appreciated was learning that Biscottis carries the Slow Food First Coast Snail of Approval, recognizing restaurants that support sustainable agriculture and local food traditions. The service throughout the visit was cheerful and attentive, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there. If you enjoy restaurants that combine great brunch dishes, incredible desserts, and a lively neighborhood atmosphere, Biscottis is definitely worth visiting.

The burger is greasy/wet, it is drenched in a bland cheese sauce, the meat is underseasoned, and the patty has no sear. Definitely not worth anything near the $21 cost. The salmon BLT is served on bread that is cut so thick you're mostly just eating old/stale bread, and the sandwich is also greasy. Their french fries come drenched in a disgusting garlic oil and cheap grated parmesan. It's bad cooking dressed up to look fancy without any understanding of the basics. The restaurant fits as well. Its ugly artwork is accompanied by furniture that looks like it was ripped out of a Le Pain Quotidien. The cakes look amazing, and the bar is nicely designed and well stocked, but neither saves the drab surrealist-cafeteria vibe of this pretentious establishment.

One in our party had a honey chicken rice bowl - one of their special items is their rice bowls & have a variety. This was a fresh bowl filled with ginger honey chicken, fresh mango, edamame, seaweed salad over a generous portion of jasmine rice. MAN IT LOOKED GOOD! Healthful, fresh & a hearty portion! Another in our arty had a Grilled Mahi filet, loaded baked potato & shared the side of broccoli with me - it was a side portion that was healthy is size & great for two. Entrees come with one side.

    Breakfast anyone?…read more On this Mother's Day all I wanted was some coffee and something yummy for my belly. So we all got in the car and headed to Avondale for The Fox Restaurant. When you walk up it's a cute small restaurant that packs a mighty punch with their decor, vibe and the menu. Normally the line is pretty long to get it but it moved quickly. While in line I was greeted by the owner Ian. He was so friendly and charismatic. He sat me down as I waited for my husband and kid to join and handed me a nice hot coffee which was soooooo good! The restaurant is decorated with all vintage art work and hand drawn art work from patrons. As well as different signs with funny phrases. My favorite was sign said " If you are grouchy, irritable or just plain mean, there will be a $10 charge for putting up with you". Hahah I read it to my son because he tried to get mad about his dad taking forever to get the tablet out the car lol. Now back to the food! I had the French toast, with eggs over medium, turkey sausage and fruit. Everything was so good! I also caught a glimpse of their biscuits and I will definitely be back to try them. Besides the excellent service there I like that my Togo items were in a bag that said "Eat Local, Eat Often". I try to buy local as much but more importantly I love being able to support a local business as well as something that is a staple in the community. If you're even in Avondale or you're thinking of breakfast make sure you go to The Fox Restaurant!
