This self service place comes in clutch for the morning coffee while I was visiting…read more I didn't try any of the food but the menu is pretty big and there's a lot of good looking food coming off of the line. It was pretty slammed when I was there so the employees were in the weeds for sure. But I was happy with my espresso. The location is right in the 5 points area so the walk factor is legit. The seating outside is probably my favorite part. Who doesn't like sitting on picnic tables in the end right.

I really enjoyed my time at Josephine, we actually came here for my birthday dinner. The ambience…read morewas lovely and the food was really yummy. I recommend the vodka pasta and the meatballs, both delicious. That said, I don't think I'd come back with a large group as the food is made from scratch in the back so with 10+ people we had to wait over an hour for our food and some of our pasta dishes were inconsistent . No fault to them, really lovely restaurant, just ideal for intimate dinners!!

Not only was the food amazing, but the staff wasso pleasant, and worked so well as a team! I am hopeful that the community remembers that any current press related issues occurred years ago, and should not have any reflection on the wonderful restaurant that still produces special moments for the local community. Josephine's continues to be one of our favorite Jacksonville restaurants!

We came here to finally try their popular desserts but we stayed for dinner!…read more We loved the drinks and our food. 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!

We have been back here multiple times since my last review and owe them a better review…read more We live at the beach so it's a bit of a trip for us but decided to make it over today for lunch. 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.

Now for the arepas we got a chicken one and a beef, then shared, let me say both were incredible! The corn cakes were thin and cooked perfectly and held up to the massive amounts of filling stuffed inside. So flavorful the chicken salad with avocado delicious, the beef with cheese and sweet plantains, so many flavors and textures, one bite and you just wanted more! We destroyed these, no leftovers, so good! oh definitely get some of the cilantro sauce too! loved it , can't wait to visit again!

I got the pabellon arepa and taqueños to go and there was a very short wait (they make the arepas fresh!), but it was so good. I also enjoyed house made mango juice which was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Parking is a bit tight, but there's more parking within walking distance. All in all, a very authentic, local spot.

I have been to the Park Street location many, many times and today will be my last. The waiter was…read morerude. The manager was rude. My sandwich had yellow mustard dripping from it. We sat outside as I had my service dog with me and I had previously been told that she was NOT allowed inside, doesn't matter that as a service dog she should be allowed anywhere I go. The waiter gave me a lot of guff because I put her on my lap when I was finished eating so that she would stop whining for food (which was sub par). The waiter told me to read the rules that stated that dogs are not allowed on laps (there is no such rule). The waiter then proceeded to tell me that he knows others who live in my building who have told him that we have been thrown out of other places (gossipy cashier who pretends to be a friend). Anyway, the food is nothing to write home about. The tables are never wiped down between customers. This particular waiter and his manager are downright rude and irritating. There are so many other places to go, including the European Street Cafe in San Marco where they are much friendlier. My companion told me that her late husband had trouble with this waiter, too. Skip it. There are just too many good places to go to bother with these folks who apparently get up on the wrong side of their beds all too frequently. And they are the only place in town with patio rules!!! Next, they will ban children.

So we headed out for sushi in Avondale but there was a festival and lines every where and no…read moreparking. So we decided on smash burgers. I had the kismet - omg the combo with the hot honey had me inhaling it. We also tried their Mac and cheese. It has a hint of chipotle but it's not hot, noodles perfectly cooked and plenty of creamy sauce - so delicious and topped with bacon bits(real). There was a line to order when we came in, tons of take out orders and a dozen table in and outside. With all that once we ordered it only took a few minutes for our order. There were 5 people in the open kitchen and 2 order takers. The decor is pretty much burger joint. Not a bunch of space between the tables.

Hubby had a last minute emergency call to one of his properties this evening after getting home for…read morethe day, so we decided to hop in the truck, go knock out the work and then grab a burger from our favorite burget spot in Jax, Carolina Jax I got the Hurricane which comes with white American, grilled jalapenos, white cheddar Mac, bacon, and Chipotle sauce. 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.
