It's tucked into a kind of sketchy-looking industrial park, but once you're inside, it feels cozy and welcoming. They've got a great variety of craft brews on tap -- lots of flavor options if you like trying new things. Service was fast and friendly. That said, the food situation is pretty minimal. Think bar snacks -- pre-packaged pretzels (we had the bacon-flavored ones, tasty but probably something you could grab at Publix). Would've loved some fresh food or food truck action. We came out specifically to support a local cat rescue event, which was awesome. Major props to the brewery for partnering with the volunteers and even offering to help promote adoption efforts to their regulars. You can tell they care about their community. There's also a side area with extra seating and a bunch of board games -- most are donated, some missing pieces, but still a fun, low-key vibe. Makes a nice third space to hang with friends and kill a few hours.

We'd been there more than a few times back when it was Jax Craft Beer but this was our first time since they changed to The Cavern. The first thing we noticed was the huge, cool bar that's been added. We started with the House Made Pretzel. The pretzel itself was great and the beer cheese with it was excellent! I ordered the Basan with a few minor modifications. I asked for it without pickles or hot mustard. Everything else worked together really well on a good ground chicken patty.. The candied jalapeños added an especially unique touch. My wife ordered the Brick Burger which is super unique (menu pics in the comments). Like me, she liked how everything worked together. She said she might ask for no mashed potatoes next time though. They weren't bad, she just thought the burger would be just as good without it. We had the pleasure of meeting some of our group members while we were there, which was awesome. We also got to meet the owner, Aaron as well. He's a super nice guy who seems to really care about what they're doing at The Cavern. One final note: they were doing something while we were there that seemed really cool. On Saturdays, they do a beer sharing event. In short, people can buy an extra beer from the cooler that gets shared with everyone in the place by way of small sample size glasses. That's a super cool idea I've never seen anywhere else and it makes for a really cool community vibe. This was our first time at The Cavern Pub but it won't be our last.

The bar was pretty full when we arrived, so we took a seat on the couch for a second, before we decided to start browsing the beers in the frig and on the wall! Such an interesting place. I chose a beer to take home. Tyler the bartender introduced himself to me and we chatted a bit, and he took my order. Such a nice guy! The 1st time I ordered a Quad and the Gringo nachos. The bar was full, and people were shooting pool and playing darts. Tyler was the bartender again, and he remembered me. Then also the owner's son introduced himself to us. Such a good vibe here! I order a Quad, and it was on special for $4.99 a pint! Scored on that one! Also ordered the grilled cheese and sweet potato fries (I met to order the zucchini sticks) Next time! The Quad was great! I don't know why that grilled cheese was so freaking good! (it's just grilled cheese, right?) lol the sweet potato fries were also good but let me tell you about that made from scratch ranch dressing! Hidden valley ain't got nothing on this Ranch Dressing! It took those sweet potatoes fries to the next level They do run out of items, so make sure you have a 2nd option in mind! They also make from scratch, pretzels and perogies.

The portions were generous, and every dish left us wanting more! If you're looking for delicious, authentic food with incredible flavor, Yah Suh Nice is definitely worth a visit! I will absolutely be back. Highly, highly recommend! 10/10!

The restaurant was extremely clean and it definitely gives "island vibes". They were out of jerk chicken and plantains - but they immediately let us know what they had to choose from. We opted for curry chicken and 2 veggie plates to go. The staff were helpful and made our plates promptly. I would note that they were also conversational and wanted to know if we had ever been there before. I was happy they didn't skimp on anything - food or service. I couldn't wait to get back to the house and dig in because the entire car smelled like a kitchen. I would consider myself an 'island food connoisseur' and I can confidently say they have THE BEST Rice and peas I've tried in Jacksonville. It tastes just how my family makes it and the seasonings were all on point. The portions were great and my mother stamped the curry chicken as one of the better restaurants in the city. She also felt the cabbage was flavorful and not over-cooked. Overall we give it high ratings and will be back with others.
