    Great kids meal options! My kids love their pizza and broccoli. Fast service and casual decor.

    Kids meal with blue cheese chips
    Jenna O.

    Friendly service, could be tad fast, but when the food is cooked when ordered, it is understandable. Always love the blue cheese chips. My go to is the kids meal with two tenders and a side of warm blue cheese chips. Delicious every time.

    Use to love this spot but the last couple times in there, the service has been horrible. Ordered to go. First time they call my name and it's only one of the 4 items, so I question where's the rest? She looks confused and said it'll be a minute for the rest. So I sit and wait...saw my full order get bagged. The staff is chatting it up. I finally go up after my foods been sitting there asking if thats my ordered that's bagged? The 3 employees who's have been standing there talking for like 10 minutes says 'oh ya'. Get home and pizza is Luke warm, chicken fingers ordered was wrong! So disappointed...I would definitely recommend socializing it the back not where orders are taken and when food is done get it out

    Great American cheese Burger (medium rare), broccoli, and and oreo shake.

    I savored the Great American Cheese Burger (Medium rare) with a side of broccoli and an Oreo Shake. I also enjoyed an Asian Salad topped with hot grilled chicken. Five stars all around! The staff exemplified attentiveness, alertness, and good spirits, gracefully handling upset customers and transforming negative energy into positive solutions. My food was fabulous--the burger was juicy, the broccoli perfectly cooked, the shake was vibrant enough to make me dance, and the Asian salad truly stole the show. I wholeheartedly recommend this location.

    I met up with some friends from church and had dinner recently. This was my first time at the location on Beach Boulevard. Grab a menu, walk up to the cashier, order your food and they give you a number. When you hear your number, go back to the counter and pick up your food. I ordered the Mediterranean salad plus cajun chicken and a chocolate shake. The salad was fresh and delicious. And the Cajun chicken was juicy with a kick that I liked! The chocolate milkshake was a little on the runny side. I prefer a thicker milkshake. The chocolate flavor was good I just didn't like the consistency of the shake. I would absolutely go back to this Loop location. Next time I will be a little more adventurous than a salad;)

    Asian Chicken Salad (No chicken)
    Maisha R.

    A couple of things really made this place stand out for me. First, I called literally minutes before closing to place an order and they accepted it. Second, likely due to the late hour, they forgot the chicken on both Asian chicken salads. When I called back the restaurant was clearly closed but someone actually still answered the phone and they offered us a credit for two entrees. So we placed another to go order a couple of days later. Everything that we tried here was good, from the burger to the pizza, feta Mediterranean salad, salmon sandwich, and the Oreo shake! I'd only had a burger from here at a catered event years ago before my recent order so I was glad to to be able to explore the menu a little bit more. Based on the excellent customer service, great portion size, and food quality, we'll be back!

    To the chefs working the kitchen tonight, Thank You! This order was prepared perfectly for everyone. We truly appreciate all the care put into preparing our meals.

    What can I say? Plain and simple, I'm a big fan of The Loop. It's a Jacksonville staple, like your furry friend, that's always there for you. It delivers a consistent product across all locations. This Beach Blvd. location is extremely beautiful and well lit. They even have a few seats out front on the patio, but you might need to wait a few more weeks to sit outside. I brought my parents and grandpa here for a reliable, affordable and filling meal. And that's exactly what we received in return. I ordered something different, the Cajun Salmon Sandwich, and boy it was tasty! The salmon itself was long and thin, and didn't fit terribly well on the bun. Convenience aside, this paired with a mustard sauce was straight up delicious! The Achilles heal of The Loop, and all their locations for that matter, are ticket times and slow service. Even though it's an order at the counter joint, the cashier seemed to be overwhelmed with our fairly basic order. On a slow Sunday nifty and only one other table in the restaurant, we waited a rather long time for our food. Don't let the service keep you from coming here though. I really would recommend The Loop to anyone. With burgers, pizzas, salads, sandwiches and milkshakes on the menu, there's always something for everyone!

    Great service, great food and comfortable dining area with ambiance…read more Everything tasted great! Would like to go back!

    Whiskey Cake is a solid experience for brunch, lunch or dinner…read more Call or reserve a table ahead as it sometimes does become rather crowded. We went for brunch recently for the first time. We had a reservation, were given a choice to sit inside or outside and were seated inside immediately. The interior is both rustic and elegant at the same time with bold wood and brick accents. It's a really nice environment. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and informative. I ordered the chicken and waffles. It was good but maybe not the best brunch choice. It just wasn't executed as well as I've had in some other places. It's designed to come with fried eggs right on top of the waffles. It also comes with gravy. The waffle and the gravy...impeccable. Fantastic gravy. The eggs were cooked very well. The chicken tenders were a bit bland and dry, the syrup almost a bit bitter. There are some home runs at Whiskey Cake, there are some items that are just OK. I'll be back, I just don't think I'll order the chicken and waffles again. I do recommend you try this place if you're in the town center though.

We were seated inside right away & our server was super sweet and helpful to help us decide what to order. We ordered coffee and orange juice which came out right away. Orange juice was really good although pretty pricy ($6 or small and $9 for large). Also ordered vegan spud stacker which was delicious! They had a pretty big menu that accommodated different dietary restrictions. The portion side was big (I took the rest home so it was really 2 meals) and everything tasted great. Will definitely come back again to try other items in the menu!

First things first: get the fresh squeezed orange juice. It is absolutely incredible and worth the visit alone. The menu is fantastic and they have everything you could want for breakfast. If you're in the mood for comfort food, the biscuits and gravy are phenomenal, some of the best I've had. But they also nail all the classics , French toast, bacon, eggs, you name it. I do have to be honest as a coffee lover, the coffee was a letdown for me. Neither the hot brewed nor the cold brew impressed, so if you're picky about your coffee you may want to manage expectations there. Stick to that fresh OJ though and you won't be sad about it! One major bonus, the restaurant is really big with a lot of seating,and we went on weekdays without ever waiting for a table. In a breakfast spot, that's a big deal. Overall a really solid, reliable breakfast spot. We'll be back next time we're in Jacksonville.

Both were amazinggggg but the best was the Brussels sprouts. I always thought I didn't like them but after eating these I found out I do! That sauce is amazing. For my entree, I got the chimichurri steak. It had great flavor, but was a little cold. I guess I didn't get any pics of dessert because it was just that good but we got the sticky toffee cake and I'm still dreaming about it!! So delicious!! Our waiter, Jonathan, was so sweet, and already split the items we split on the bill for our group like dessert without us asking and very knowledgeable of the menu especially different wines.

Quay was our personal server and I think he was our bartender too- although there was another person back and forth behind the bar. We added a little chaos to the mix with a handful of family who showed without rsvp-ing. Add in toddlers plus easily 15 people.... Yeah- mad respect for Quay!!! I admit to being sad that I couldn't get my broiled platter- that is my favorite Fish Camp dish, and apparently not available for lunch. I pivoted and got the steam pot for 2. For myself. And guess what- I ate all the crab, hmmm so happy! Laugh- it was hilarious, I was still cracking crab while everyone sung happy birthday! I was thrilled. I brought home most of the potatoes, corn and such- it even had mushrooms and broccoli! YUM! My old fashioned was also perfection in a glass. John had the shrimp and fish basket and loved every bite. Several raved about the shrimp and grits. Caron loved her mahi mahi. Connor got the Spicy Wild Caught Shrimp Linguine with White Wine, Garlic, Tomato, Pecorino and inhaled it! Even the kiddos were super happy with the kids chicken strips, although the kitchen delivered the first plate to the wrong toddler and the lovely parents didn't question how they got food without ordering and that little girl dug right in. Opposite end of the table- this grandma spoke up and we split the food so all the littles were fed. Considering our chaotic group, it went very well. I didn't hear a single complaint from our party. Hopefully we didn't drive the staff too crazy!

    I used to absolutely love this place. It was our go-to for seafood, celebrations, family dinners,…read moreand special occasions for years. We recommended it constantly and genuinely enjoyed supporting them. Unfortunately, after our last few experiences, that loyalty is completely gone. The problems really started during a dinner visit with my spouse. We had a reservation for two and specifically requested a booth because my spouse has herniated discs and booths are much easier on her back. The hostess with glasses told us there were "no booths available for parties of two," so we were seated at a tiny two-top directly in front of an empty booth. Minutes later, another couple - who apparently didn't even have the correct downstairs reservation because Wheel House was closed for a private event - was seated in that exact booth instead. When I politely questioned it, I was told they were "accommodating them." Interesting, because apparently accommodating a medical issue for customers with a reservation didn't matter. Still, we decided to give the restaurant another chance for Mother's Day. To their credit, we were seated at a booth this time after I both noted it in the reservation and called ahead to confirm it. Our waiter was someone we immediately recognized from a previous visit, and my parents mentioned he had waited on us before at that same table. Somehow, from that comment alone, he became convinced we were related to Chef Tim Tillus. From there, things got bizarre. He kept talking about "Timmy," mentioning reunions and saying he used to live with him. The restaurant was extremely loud, and my father had forgotten his hearing aids that day, so honestly we could barely understand what he was talking about. We just smiled politely and focused on asking about the menu because we truly had no clue where the conversation was going. Eventually, he came back and realized we were NOT Chef Tim Tillus' family. He then explained that the kitchen staff had apparently been laughing because the chef saw us and said, "That's not my family." So somehow this became a whole ordeal in the kitchen over a completely innocent misunderstanding. We laughed awkwardly because what else do you do at that point? But honestly, the whole interaction felt strange and unprofessional. Unfortunately, the food was even worse than the awkward service. My spouse ordered the all-day seafood soup, and somehow there was basically ZERO seafood in it. That alone was shocking because their soups used to be incredible. My father ordered the broiled platter, and the portion size was honestly embarrassing for a $29 dish. His parsley potatoes consisted of literally five tiny cubes - my mother counted them because we were in disbelief. We have eaten here for years and NEVER saw portions this small. I ordered the fish special, and it was nothing like described. It was supposed to have pecans and blackening seasoning. There were no pecans, no blackening seasoning, and the fish itself was dry, bland, overcooked, and flavorless. For $32, I was served what looked like a tiny sad pile of fish in the middle of a giant empty plate. The pork chop looked beautiful but tasted absolutely awful. At this point I honestly don't know if the kitchen quality has completely collapsed or if nobody is checking food before it leaves the line anymore. Either way, it was terrible. My mother ordered scallops on the half shell as her meal - something she has enjoyed there many times before. This time, the scallops were tiny and somehow greasy. It was shocking these dishes were even leaving the kitchen. What makes this so disappointing is that we truly loved this restaurant. We weren't casual customers. We supported this place for years because we believed the food and experience were worth it. This wasn't just a mediocre meal or an "off night." This was a genuinely terrible dining experience from start to finish, made worse by the fact that it happened on Mother's Day. The service felt awkward and disorganized, the portions were insulting, the food quality was awful, and there seemed to be zero quality control happening anywhere. At this point, our money will be supporting other establishments instead. It's honestly sad because this place USED to be special. I sincerely hope management fixes the kitchen, consistency, and overall professionalism before even more longtime customers walk away.

Service was attentive and gracious. I started with a rose spritz, the avocado carpaccio, and the half roast chicken. The spritz was a delight. Not too sweet, very refreshing. The carpaccio was amazing with the smoked salt, and the briny caviar. My friend ordered the chips and dip, and heaven on earth is combining the two appetizers (a chip topped with avocado and then a dollop of creme fraiche/caviar). The chicken was okay. I should have gone with something else, but I panic-ordered. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't remarkable. I should have gone with a fancy salad or the lobster roll. My second drink, a glass of rose, was okay but wasn't served ice cold, a disappointment. I shared a chocolate chip cookie at the end of the meal, and it was absolutely delicious.

So I went with the grilled avocado with caviar that I probably wouldn't order again... that's because the overly rich and buttery flavor of the avocado dominated the dish and muted the subtle oceanic notes of the caviar. The roasted chicken salad was pretty plain... literally just chicken and butter lettuce! It made me miss the Mulholland Drive salad. I'll still return for the ambience and excellent service... hopefully will find something better next time.
