I got cornbread and a drink as well and waited for less than 10 minutes. Customer service was good ti myself and others from what I saw. The portions were huge and I had enough for two meals. Candied yams were good and so was the max snd cheese. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town. It's in a strip mall but definitely not the easiest to find.

I've been coming to Sweet Mama's for a couple of years every time my husband and I visit…read moreJacksonville, so I was a little disappointed with this visit. The pork chop looked good, but it didn't seem seasoned, and there wasn't enough gravy on it to really be considered smothered. My husband's soda also had a strange aftertaste, which wasn't pleasant. On a positive note, the sides were absolutely delicious. The sweet potatoes, butter beans, rice, and cornbread were all flavorful and enjoyable. That's honestly what saved the meal for me. I know every restaurant can have an off day, and because we've had great experiences here in the past, we'll definitely give them another chance. This visit just wasn't up to the standard we've come to expect from Sweet Mama's.

When I had a work trip for Jacksonville, I asked both my boss who was from Jacksonville and the…read moreoffice employees where they'd recommend to eat; this location was overwhelmingly suggested. Many recommended oxtails, which I had never tried since I've eaten mostly vegetarian for 10+ years of my life. My doctor has suggested reintroducing some meat to see how I can tolerate with digestive disorders, so I figured give this location and oxtails a chance! For lunch one day, another coworker who traveled from Phoenix with me decided to go to lunch here. She ordered the daily special meatloaf with collared greens and said they were pretty average. She previously had someone bring in lunch from this location, and she remarked the pork chops were very delicious. Likely a case of ordering the wrong item; as another coworker mentioned the baked chicken wasn't that spectacular. What I've learned? When you dine soul food, you don't mind calories. My oxtails were delicious and fell off the bone. It reminded me of pot roast on the flavor and tenderness. Very hearty and filling. I also had the mac n cheese, which to be expected from a soul place, was divine! I found myself wishing I didn't go with a vegetable (broccoli) and did double Mac n cheese. Food for thought for a next visit if I'm sent to Jacksonville again for work as this location is only about 6 miles from the hotel/work office. If you are looking for soul food, give this location a try. It is styled like a cafeteria for lunch, so we didn't find the ambiance as relaxing as other places we went. The staff was pretty friendly and appreciate them offering a side recommendation, though shocked they said broccoli or corn as their favorite. Nonetheless, a great soul food stop if you are in the mood.

I can't believe there is BBQ this good in Florida…read more This joint was hopping on a Saturday afternoon. You can order at the counter for take out or dine in. They also have a full service bar where you can order. Brisket sandwich is legit good. But the King Sandwich has cheese sauce, two jalapeño poppers, and smoked sausage for only $2 more. Mac and Cheese is heavy on the cheese and delicious. Potato salad is different. I enjoyed it but the flavor contrasts with the bbq flavors instead of complimenting them. Multiple sauce bottles are available at your table and I was surprised that I enjoyed the western Carolina style the most. Banana pudding was good. I would definitely come back when in JAX.

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.

The menu also leans more towards sports bar but if you remember items from tbe old menu - cough cough - pimento cheese, you can ask for them and they can accommodate. Service was good but I think my fish and chips sat in the window longer than expected. Fish wasn't piping hot but hotter than warm. The chips are just seasoned fries and were also decent and the cole slaw was solid. It wasn't same cole slaw from the old menu but it was good. Our server Alex has been there since the old menu and vibe and he shared - when I asked - about the changes. The area asked for these changes so they adapted and the crowd showed it on a rainy Friday night.

Whenever I visit Jax I always look forward to real BBQ. Usually I visit another favorite but this…read moretime my sister and I decided to try out The Butt Hutt for the first time. 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.

The server mentioned they give out free bacon when the Jaguars score, which is a cool perk. The jerk chicken was my favorite--so spicy and juicy--and the sausage was delicious, but the brisket was a bit dry and too lean. The beans were great too. I ate everything so fast I forgot to take pictures, but the touchdown bacon was awesome. I'd definitely recommend this place and will be back.
