Today we had the grilled cheese & fries and their chicken parmesan. Both were really good. There's a lot of chicken in the parm. We also finished it off with their amazing peach tea and the delicious banana pudding bread pudding. The menu had great variety and have never been disappointed.

Stopped by Johnny's Angel and went straight for my forever favorite, the Fats Domino omelet. Packed with sausage, potato, bacon and melty cheese, it's hearty, comforting and absolutely loaded with flavor. Paired with creamy cheesy grits and classic white toast, this plate hits every nostalgic breakfast note. Service was friendly and quick, and the retro diner vibes never miss. Chrome, color and old-school charm everywhere you look. It really does feel like stepping into a time machine to when breakfast spots were the heart of the neighborhood. If you're craving a true diner breakfast done right, Johnny's Angel needs to be on your Jacksonville list. Have you been yet or is this going on your must-try list

Great spot for small or big groups, however, if you have a large group, get on the wait list early or call to give them a heads up. Food portions were really good and their waffle batter is different in a great way. They had many meat and I'm glad they had something other than beef and pork. Chicken sausage was very good. When I'm in town again, I will come back.

Some friends and I had lunch at Uptown Kitchen today, which leads me to a mixed review…read more The good ... lunches were well portioned, and tasty. Their Gouda Grits (I forgot to take a picture) are as good as advertised, items were fresh and plated nicely. Our Server, Caroline was delightful. The bad .... The Hostess was so incredibly rude and dismissive, I considered walking out and going a couple doors down to a different restaurant. From enter to exit was over an hour, with long waits which seem a challenge at lunch when many have limited time. A young woman sat outside near us on a loud speaker phone for 20 minutes, and while I realize we cannot control rude people I could be addressed. I won't say DONT GO, but I will say there are several other tasty options in the area. Customer Service is too important and too easy to offer, to be overlooked as it was today.

With its unique charm of a diner the food is excellent with good portions. I got the big V with cheesesteak on top of a burger and it didn't disappoint.

Overall, the food was very good and there was no wait…read more When we first arrived, it was problematic that I asked for a booth seat for our party of 6 because the booth seats are tables. I said we could do tables next to each other and the hostess was very unhappy at the suggestion. It was awkward, but my young son was starting a new medication and feeling very unwell and needed the ability to lay down. We were traveling for spring break and didn't have an option except to eat out. It started our breakfast off a little rough. Things got a lot better after this experience. Our server was really great and our food was so good. The pancakes are giant - all the portions are. I had my first Vietnamese iced coffee and it was very good. The biscuits were great, the potato hash with Mexican peppers was so good.

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!

The overall vibes were casual in a nice way -- nothing too aggressively themed, just a good and bright breakfast spot. Our server, Bonnie, was friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering a hodge podge of breakfast items: eggs over medium, hash browns, cheese grits, a waffle, and a blueberry muffin split and grilled. My mom got an egg sandwich with grits and vegetarian sausage (yay!). Our food came pretty quickly, and I hoovered up everything on my plate. Everything tasted the way you'd expect: just good breakfast food. The hash browns had a crisp top, which is vital for me. The malted waffle stood out the most; I could smell it the second our server walked out of the kitchen with it and I ate the whole thing, even though I frequently split a waffle and take half home for later. The muffin was good, but a special shoutout for the option to have it split, buttered, and lightly grilled. I immediately requested my mom start trying that with her own blueberry muffins next time I'm over. It's a little pricey, but what isn't these days? It sure hit the spot.

The atmosphere was inviting with a cool, free-seating policy and the ceiling art by various artists was captivating -- fish, anime, food, beach, etc. After being seated, it took only a few minutes before we received menus and were asked about drinks. I opted for the waffle combo with scrambled eggs and sausage patties. The waffle was slightly crispy on the edges, but the inner part was soft? Perhaps it had been sitting out a little too long? The eggs and sausage were good. Overall, it was an okay breakfast, but maybe next time, I might try their lunch or dinner menu.

The eggs, creamy, light, the prefect consistency. The sausage fantastic and the pancakes...elite. Fluffy, light, flavorful, delicious. We all shared in the sentiment of how great the food was and were really amazed at the excellent price point as well. We will we back anytime we're in the area, and if you haven't Penman Diner, I highly suggest you do.

I built my own omelette with chicken, spinach, and Swiss cheese with wheat toast. I upgraded my side to fruit. My husband ordered the 2-2-2 and said his pancakes were great. Our friend ordered the chicken salad plate, they make their chicken salad in house and she really liked it. I went inside for a quick bathroom stop before leaving and inside was really cute as well.
