We ordered a board as an appetizer and waited close to 35 minutes for it before our server realized she never rang it up. We were upset as we wanted something to snack on as we waited for our meal. She offered to quickly have it made, but our food was almost ready and it did not make sense to us anymore at that point. But no other resolution was offered. The food was great, but it took a while to get our food. It didnt seem to be busy, yet they where slow. Im sure if we had our appetizer, we wouldnt have noticed the 45 minute wait. We loved the cheesecake and the mocha cake! Drinks where very nice and strong. Overall, i loved it here. Hopefully next time ill be able to get my board!

It was a really good experience. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and it was delicious ( forgot to photograph that). I'm a vegetarian and love the fried zucchini sandwich but today's lunch special was a spaghetti squash special and it was delicious! I highly recommend it. Hubby had the smash burger and fries and all was good. I had a special cocktail called Blue Eyes something that was very refreshing. Elise gave us very good service and as always, I got a piece of Tropical Cake to go, that will last for days. Other than parking being tough, this is a great place for girls days, lunch with the hubby, etc.

One in our party had a honey chicken rice bowl - one of their special items is their rice bowls & have a variety.

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.

Very nice inside dining area that's been updated. Not overly crowded. It was very clean & all staff were attentive & friendly. Tough parking situation. We found it nice to park a block up the street & walk. Such a beautiful & safe neighborhood.

They didn't have wings ready yet which was really disappointing as I had read they were excellent. The BBQ sauce was thinner and more tart than we prefer, but again, not bad.

We came in on a Wednesday evening. We asked about the menu and were told at the counter that it was Wing Wednesday and the wings were $1 each. Well how could we not add those onto our order. We ordered a Burnt Ends platter with mac and cheese, and corn nuggets, a Brisket Platter with corn nuggets and beans. We also ordered a large mac for my son and a side of lean brisket. For the wings we ordered the Cajun ranch. Our food started coming out in about 5 minutes. Firstly, I was shocked at the wings. I love wings, but they aren't something I usually order often as I find them just OK. There are only a couple places that I visit specifically for wings. Well, let me tell you, I would make a visit back just for these wings. OMG, the Cajun ranch was simply amazing, really addictive. They were my favorite item. We devoured them. The burnt ends were very good. I appreciate they are big chunks of brisket with no pull pork filler. The flavor was amazing as well and the bits of fat melted in our mouth. The corn nuggets were fine and the Mac N Cheese was quite tasty. We enjoyed the meal so much, were were trying to figure out somewhere for a family lunch the next Sunday and came back again. This time my sister, son and I brought my dad. We of course ordered more wings and burnt ends and brisket with lots of Mac N Cheese. The food really is something special. The wings are absolutely wonderful and the burnt ends are a hit. This is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants and will always be on my list of visits to enjoy when I come back to Jax.

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.

We went this past Friday and while they had the same great food (with one exception), same decor and vibe, it seemed as if the typically impeccable service was staring to slip. The staff was in a great mood, seemed to be having a party and maybe that was some of the issue. Drinks not filled, food brought out a different points when we asked for it to be brought together etc. One of the guests requested their sauce on the side and it came right on top of her cold steak. We had to constantly grab anyone who worked there to get help and get served or drink refills. Very atypical of Prospect. I'm reviewing again to be constructive. I still love Prospect and I need them to be the excellent experience they have always been. I'm truly hoping this was a one off afternoon.

This was the best tasting vegan food I've ever had! Every dish I tried was so flavorful and creative especially the spicy "chicken" sandwich, which is now my go-to on the menu. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming! When we first arrived we didn't realize the entire menu was vegan, and they took the time to walk us through everything. Which made our experience even more special. Highly recommend this spot to anyone, vegan or not! read more

As a vegan in the Murray Hill area, I was familiar with the food truck and the earlier ownership. The new ownership is MUCH better. Everything is more reliable - hours, food quality, service, etc. Even the space, which has never been terrific, is a bit better. I certainly recommend it to everyone, even if you're not vegan. My fave dish is the bubba - kinda wish they'd ditch the cutesy names though. Just saying. read more

As an avid carnivore, I can say I approve. More than approve, actually. If I knew how to cook vegan meals I would probably never go back to real meat. Bringing my dad and kids here this weekend as this is my new go to spot to try and show fellow carnivores that vegan food can still be amazing. Wish I could take a cooking class from them to help me bring more vegan options to our dinner table every night. read more

This is one of the best vegan restaurants me and my fiancé has ever had the privilege of eating. They are wholefully made so it's not greasy and it's super tasty! Portions are very good for what you pay for. We've eaten in MANY vegan restaurants and most give you much smaller portions for roughly the same price as what Murray Hillibilly's charging. They are highly recommended! read more

The sandwich was super juicy and packed with flavor -- the sauce and that tangy pickle taste really made it stand out. The mac and cheese was creamy and satisfying, and while the side portions are on the smaller side, it actually ended up being the perfect amount for me. Service was a highlight. The staff stayed attentive the whole time and kept checking in. Our food did take a little while to come out -- about 45 minutes -- but they were communicative and made sure we were taken care of while we waited, which made a big difference. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming with a cool blues-themed décor and light music in the background. It was dinnertime but surprisingly not busy, which made for an easy, laid-back experience. Parking was simple and convenient. One small suggestion: cushions on the wooden benches would make a big difference. With the wait and the amount of time seated, they became a bit uncomfortable. Overall, great food, great vibe, and solid service. Definitely worth a visit.

I ordered the brisket with mac and cheese, baked beans, and toast. My mom had the same, and my dad got the turkey with fries and collard greens. We also shared an order of fried pickles. The fried pickles were actually really good and probably the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the rest of the food didn't meet expectations. The brisket was quite dry, and the mac and cheese seemed like it had been sitting for a while and had hardened. The baked beans had a very strong onion flavor that made them difficult to eat, and the toast just tasted like plain bread without any garlic or seasoning. Overall, it was disappointing considering the price of the meal. I only managed a few bites of the sides and one slice of brisket. My parents ended up taking most of it home for their dog since we couldn't finish it. It was especially disappointing because we've used Mojo's for catering before and had a great experience, so eating in felt like a completely different quality level.
