Lillie M During a weekend trip with my Mom, we had breakfast here both days and really enjoyed it. There was a lively atmosphere and the employees worked diligently to prepare the drinks and food with care. I highly recommend the espresso frappe, it was the best drink to start my day :)

Mahlon Montgomery Phenomenal place , I absolutely recommend checking it out there BBQ is outstanding, burgers outstanding , you really couldnt go wrong here and the draft beer they have on tap is extensive... The atmosphere is very inviting and theres a big patio and walk down that you can go on

Julia L.R. Made a last-minute reservation, got a romantic table in a corner booth. Andres, Naomi, and the sommelier were all very personable. The bread is delicious, as was the French onion soup. The Caesar salad was a bit odd, with the shredded lettuce, though tasted fine. Just very simple and plain. My husband got the bouillabaisse; he LOVED it. I enjoyed my soup, beet salad, and mashed potatoes A LOT. There was a vegetarian entree, but I just wasn’t hungry enough to get it. We truly enjoyed our experience at David’s and would definitely return when in the area. We were too full for dessert.

Love N.C. Jackie our waitress was the best. She was sat 3 tables at once and everyone had drinks and food in a timely manner. I dont understand why this place has a 4.1 rating? Good location, house salad with housemade dressings, awesome blackened redfish sandwich with hot crispy fries. Happy hour started at 2pm so we lucked out! $3 yuenglings!! We are so happy we stopped, because we almost passed it by. Restrooms were spotless as well.

Robert Roberts Been going to The Loop for years and it’s always great. I haven’t been in a while and decided to stop in for lunch with my son while in the area. The staff were all friendly, food was good, and price point was fair for the food. My son got the kids cheeseburger with fries, and I got the warm blue cheese chips and the Asian Chicken Salad.

Robyn Nearing Really good food and atmosphere. We came pretty late at 7pm so missed out on the lovely beach views due to the dark. They had a live band playing, told us itd be about a 20 min wait for a table (3 adults, 2 kids) inside and that was pretty spot on. They had a playground with sand toys for the kiddos. Food came out in about 10 mins. Crab cake order came with grits instead of okra but that was fixed quickly. Nephew devoured his flounder. Crab cakes were awesome. Wouldnt mind returning.

Paul Thompson My wife and I enjoyed the food that we ordered. We got the chicken wings with mild sauce. The best wings we had in awhile. Of course, the onion rings were great and homemade. Also, the shrimp poboy. The shrimp was so fresh that I could taste the salt from the ocean on it. The Cuban sandwich with bacon jam was so good. I cant wait to go back. The ambiance and the atmosphere of the Salty Pelican is delightful.

Matt Swartz As always, food and service was excellent, even while busy a bit busy. Of all the places I have tried on Amelia Island, the Downunder has the best burger. The fish & chips (with the Blue Chips) is always great also. Since moving away from the area I only now get to eat here once or twice a year and I find it as good every time like they have never missed a beat. This place is truly an asset to the area.

Africancrab Food, service and ambience were all great. My son and hubby shared the seafood boil, and I had the smoked salmon. Both were delicious and quite filling. Mark ordered a whiskey sour and I decided to go with a beer - Stella, while our son had a Shirley temple. The wind from the ocean chilled us some as we sat upstairs, but they lit the lanterns for warmth. Incredible view of the sea, great seating on the roof top terrance, and our server was such a delightful young lady. Overall, a great experience.

Alegria Mariscal We went out for lunch and shared the fried platter. Not usual for me to or fried foods but sure was delicious! It even came with a side of coleslaw and French fries. Great spot! They have outdoor sitting and firepits.

Onna The food was just okay. The meat in both tacos were bland, as well as the chimichurri. The refried beans were decent enough, but couldve also been seasoned more. I also tried their horchata, but it was way too sweet! The only things I enjoyed that night was the chips and guac. Theres too many great Mexican restaurants in Jacksonville, and a few in Yulee to settle for this place.

Jessica Long Went there for lunch. It was good! We got the pecan bleu cheese salad, which was tasty with the dressing on the side. The pizza was tasty and $12 since it was Monday. Then we got a side of fries, which tasty and seasoned! The drink I got was also well poured: grandpappy’s lemonade! We felt welcome and really happy to be there from our waitress Ann’s hospitality! Best waitress of our time here!
