Phenomenal brunch experience on a Friday morning with my hubby! I specifically came here because I wanted scrambled eggs and they have the best in town. I got the Go Jags plate which included two scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage link and a biscuit and gravy! Everything was made to perfection, eggs were soft and fluffy and the biscuit was made from scratch. My husband got the Family Affair which is a crispy chicken biscuit sandwich with gravy and scrambled eggs with a side of fruit. My husband demolished his meal. Our waitress, Sharricka, was so swift and attentive. We will definitely be coming back! read more

The food quality was barely edible. $40 for my toddler & I to eat 1 meal and 1 pancake. They did a 50% service discount which was appreciated. read more

After looking at reviews online I couldn't wait to try the food. What a complete disappointment. The food was mediocre at best. The biscuits were hard and dried out. After complaining about the 1st one, the waiter brought me another one and it was dry and crumbling in the center. Before I could say anything the customer behind me stopped the waiter and complained about the same thing. He brought her another biscuit as well and I heard her tell him that it was just as bad as the other one. The waiter stated he would advise the kitchen and blamed the biscuits on overheating. The problem is they weren't fresh, they were old. My grits were watered down with no flavor. My bacon was barely cooked and the turkey sausage was overcooked. At 1st I thought it was me, but I heard the customer behind me tell her daughter that it was the worst meal she has had and would need to purchase another meal when they felt. She indicated that the only positive was that her 3 year old daughter enjoyed the pancakes. I turned around and said to her that my meal was awful as well and that I too would have to stop at another location for food. To add insult to injury, this place adds 18% gratuity to all checks regardless of the size of your party. I did not realize it until I got my check. I was told that they place this message at the very bottom of the menu. I missed it. Anyway, for the price of the food you can eat at so many other breakfasts places. I'm headed to faithful Metro Diner. Also, the wait time for food was ridiculously slow. There were only 4 customers beside myself and we all walked in at the same time. By the time I received my food, the 1st two customers had eaten and were leaving read more

I had an early morning appointment that ended before I had to start work, so I decided to treat myself to a weekday brunch - a rare opportunity for me. I'm so glad I decided on Tula Bistro! There was lively music playing and it was a great vibe inside. I sat at the bar and was helped by Brian, who was amazing. I ordered a coffee and the Tulua Bowl. The coffee was hot and fresh, and the bowl was cooked very well with fresh ingredients. The grits in the bowl did not have a lot of flavor, however the fresh toppings definitely helped and made it a solid dish. Overall I had a great weekday brunch and the vibe from the music and Brian sent me off to work in an upbeat mood. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite. The staff was running around because they were trying to accommodate large groups coming in to eat. The coffee was delicious! The decor is fun and bright. I had the veggie bowl served over grits and it was a large portion and flavorful. The omelette lacked substance and filler. The toast options are very limited. I would give this place a second chance but I wasn't wowed. read more

This cute little bistro definitely had some Fun pizzaz to it and the food was delicious as well. Located at Jacksonville Beach 3rd street at the south beach center. Inside- Cute murals on wall and woke culture implemented. I thought the names of the menu items were fun as well. I loved the quote from Ru Paul that states ' If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else?! . Menu items such as slutty potatoes, wake and bake, not your basic bi*ch had me chuckle. Food- I ordered the crab cake Benedict. Very delicious! The crab cake was tender and flavorful with the hollandaise sauce and side of grits on an English muffin. The grits were creamy as well. Service was attentive and they answered any questions asked. They also have bottomless mimosas from 8 am to 2 pm. Overall, definitely a fun place to try. read more

When you first walk in, the decor is so bright and inclusive. Our server, Bryan aka Beans, was sweet and attentive. I got the Not Your Basic B**ch with over easy eggs, feta, and crispy bacon atop avocado , with pico on top of hashbrown patties with a delightful balsamic drizzle. They have various events and specials advertised when you come in on a few blackboards. I'm sad I wasn't able to imbibe in their mimosas since I was heading back home, but I will try them next time. I highly recommend visiting here if you're in the mood for a good brunch and vibe. read more

Started with a long wait with tables appearing to be ready. Perhaps they were low on wait staff. Was not told we could sit at bar, but larger group was invited to do so while we were waiting. Wrong item was ordered by waitress to kitchen and took way too long for the waitstaff to even check in to try to make things right. Was told that I would not be charged, but I was and did not want to make a scene. Mom's pancakes were 'mushy'. Pretty read more

Food was good, service amazing, and ambiance lively and fun! Came for drag brunch hosted by Lady Visaya and the show was ON POINT! SO much fun. I totally recommend coming for a drag brunch! Ordered the Crab Cake Benedict and it was good but could've used a bit more salt. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and serving size was good. The side of grits was creamy too, but I asked for cheese in my grits and didn't get any. I would still try more on their menu for sure. The service was awesome. They were attentive and friendly! The drag show was the main event and Lady Visaya was the star of the show! So beautiful and absolutely entertaining. Had so much fun watching the performance to hit 2000s songs. Very nostalgic. The crowd was fun and diverse and the show was interactive. Go here for a fun brunch day! read more

I called this restaurant earlier this week and asked if they took reservation, due to it being an early Mother's day brunch. They told me they didn't (which totally fine), and that was all. Fast forward to today (Saturday, 5/9), I got there earlier than the rest of my party and asked how long the wait would be for a party of 8, and let them know that we would need a high chair. The First Gentleman I spoke to told me it wasn't a long wait and also let me know that there was a drag show happening, but told me it was only happening on one side of the restaurant. I double confirmed because my party has two minors, and he assured me that we would be able to still dine in. I went back into the restaurant to put my name on the waitlist and that's when someone else told me that minors wouldn't be allowed for the drag show. Would've loved to eat here for a Mother's day brunch, but due to their lack of communication the two times I spoke to them, plus when I asked for double confirmation, they've turned me off. read more

Food: Beautiful on the outside AND inside. We had the chef's choice breakfast board which is randomized for EACH customer; it's a surprise even for the waiters. It turned out to be a wonderful surprise including crispy seasoned hash browns, oblonged shaped pancakes stuffed with hidden bacon, more bacon, browned French toast, shrimp and grits, and fruits. Everything on the board was exceptional. The only critique I would give are the grits; it needed more salt which I simply adjusted with table salt on the side. Very reasonably priced for the board; $30 and fed 2 people. Service: Standard nice waitress that checked frequently. Ambiance: colorful with the LGBT decor, plants, and wall art (even the menu had some fun LGBT items haha). The only critique I would give is the odor of the place, but maybe it was because we were seated near the bathroom. Edit: forgot to mention I RARELY give 5/5 reviews and I rarely eat breakfast/brunch, but this place made me realize breakfast can be great and not just some generic IHOP or maple street. Please show this local shop some love especially if you stop near the beach!! read more

I like the concept of a charcuterie board for breakfast and no one does it like Tulua Bistro. I would give it 5 stars as the food is fenomenal, but the last time we went there the service wasn't the best. We ordered the unlimited mimosas ($25.00) which after ordered our server told us we had 30 minutes left to order more mimosas. Then proceeded to tell us that we were only allowed one mimosa per person at the time, but other tables around us had servers bringing them multiple mimosas. We ended up having 3 per person. Our server was as well would disappear and we had to try to get his attention multiple times to get refills and order our food. The board we ordered was great, we enjoyed our food, but I felt like our experience this time was not worth the money we paid. read more

A place that caught my eye when I was in Jacksonville. Tulsa bistro had such great staff in serving us as they were quick and attentive. We ordered the crab cake Benedict and the not your basic bitch. The grits with the crab cake benedict were rather lackluster and I wished they would add cheese to them or use a different side like potatoes but the benedict itself was very good. The not your basic bitch was phenomenal and I definitely would order them again. The interior was decorated very fun and I would come back to bring friends to try another time or so. read more

My bestie and I wanted to have a nice brunch with a few drinks in a laid back atmosphere. After some debate, we decided to try Tulua. We skipped the table wait and asked to be seated at the bar. Their Prosecco and Bloody Mary were just right! Menu... OMG so much deliciousness with added humor. Crab Cake Benedict I had with grits. Bestie got the croissant sandwich. We dove right in! Good drinks, service, everything on point. I took the Lox home for my husband. Wow! So much salmon, big portion and it was fantastic! It didn't last long enough for photos! Next time! DEFINITELY!!! lol read more

After a disastrous time around the corner for brunch, we ended up here as my Mom still wanted crabcakes for Mother's Day and I was determined to bring her somewhere that had them. We still had a little bit of a wait but the atmosphere was sooo much better than the last place. I did see one incident where a pager didn't go off and a family said they had been waiting for 2 hours. They were sat and the manager came over and diffused the situation. By the time they left they were happy. That's good customer service. Tulua had a special Mother's Day brunch menu (smart) which had Crab Cake Benedict (two poached eggs, crab cakes, English muffin, hollandaise sauce, cheddar grits) . I had a Godzilla Omelet (two egg omelet, bacon, sausage, fries, Swiss and American cheeses, onion, mushroom, spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, jalapeños). OMG...fries in an omelet? Who knew? I was so hungry by then I need all the foods. This was sooooo good. The fries were actually a very good addition inside my eggy wrap. Hunter was our server and took care of us completely. We left there smiling. read more

I stopped in for the Eggs Benedict which they have 3 types. I got the Crab Cakes Benedict which was pretty good. It needs a little more seasoning but I enjoyed it. I was served by Darby and she was very professional and polite. I think the woke environment was a bit overpowering and it felt that the owner want to focus more on there LGBTQ-ASDF then their food and services. Not sure if I would recommend this place. read more

TikTok brought us to this restaurant for breakfast. We initially came to try out the breakfast board but was persuaded by the server on some other dishes. My husband went with the Surf and Turf and I went with Not Your Basic B**ch. For the Surf and Turf the steak is only cooked medium well. It was somewhat tough and hard to chew. The scrambled eggs had a whipped and different taste to them. Not sure what seasoning or additives were used but they were different. Not in a good way. For the Not your Basic B**ch it was too many different things going on. The hashbrowns were oily and the balsamic vinegar was not a good pairing. It was definitely a failed dish. The atmosphere was pleasant and people were really nice. The seating was really uncomfortable and not much room. I found myself sitting at the top of the chair to put my purse behind me. Parking was easy. Plenty of it. Didn't use the restrooms do not sure about the cleanliness. All in all it was a one time visit for us. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

We ordered a medium sized breakfast board. Everything was cooked well and was tasty. We had a short wait for the food to get to the table after ordering. Our server, Alana, was attentive and checked in often without being overbearing. Her colleagues all pitched in to help and I appreciated the team effort! We had no wait for the table but arrived a little after 9:30am. It became busy around 10:30am The ambiance was light and quiet. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean.

This was such a cute little brunch place. The atmosphere was really cute and cozy. They don't take reservations but it was about a 20 min wait for 3. We shared the build your own breakfast board which was $74 dollars and did bottomless mimosas for $20. The mimosas do get cut off at 2pm though. The service was great and very on top of the mimosas. I honestly would definitely come back. The only thing that was bad was parking. There's a small lot and the rest of the spaces are for the other business or 30 min tow away zones. read more

10/10 recommend the drag show brunch! To celebrate a friend's birthday, we decided to plan a coed drag show brunch. We were a party of 18 and everyone had such an amazing time! The breakfast board was delicious, with generous portions and a wide variety of items, and was included in the price of the ticket. Unfortunately, bottomless mimosas were not an option, so we had to purchase bottles of champagne individually, which were a little pricey. As far as the show, it was so much fun! Karrisa (the host) is absolutely hilarious and the ladies did such a great job singing, dancing, and keeping the crowd engaged and entertained the entire time. Also to note- There is an opportunity to change out money before the show starts, which is nice in case you forget to bring small bills, so don't forget to tip! read more

I ordered a fried chicken biscuit loaded with scrambled eggs and topped with delicious sausage gravy. What a great brunch item!!!...it was super tasty and I would definitely order it again.

This is such a fun brunch spot! The service is always on point, all of the staff are always upbeat and seem to be having a good time. The brunch cocktails and mimosas are some of the best. The biscuits and gravy always hits the spot, highly recommend one of the customizable brunch boards to share so you can try a little bit of everything. The only thing I wasn't a fan of is the bacon pancake dippers, it may have been an off day but the bacon to pancake ratio was off and the bacon was chewy. Everything else was so tasty, highly recommend! read more

Lovely little bistro! Not at all busy on a holiday Monday, so it was quiet and quaint. Fantastic service, our server was so sweet we loved him. I got the veggie bowl and it's not something I would normally order but it was delicious and so filling I couldn't even finish half. Decent bloody mary. My friend chose the fruit loop and loved it - very sweet and came with a fun rubber ducky. She chose the Not Your Basic Bitch and her girlfriend chose the Family Affair. They were a bit disappointed with their food, but still enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks. Although the Family Affair was not up to their expectations, the fries were phenomenal. We'll definitely be back! read more
