Top 5 Specialty Food in Duval County

9551 Baymeadows Rd suite #21-23, Jacksonville, FL 32256, United States

“I love this family and this restaurant. Always great food and service. Wines unavailable at other restaurants or stores are worth coming to taste. I prefer the Mavro Daphne- they call communion wine because it is a sweet red. Be careful as it goes down so easy you think you can handle another glass. The Athenian Owl is a warm sit down and take your time kind of place. Truly a unique, hidden gem tucked away in an unassuming strip center package. Bring your girl or your ma and an appetite.”

“Great place to have breakfast, brunch or lunch! Everyone here is friendly, love James and Samantha. They are great people that we have had as servers. Great attitude and personality. But we need the red velvet pancakes back! They were so delicious!”

“This place was a pleasant surprise. We were greeted immediately and sat. The waiter took our drink order right away and then brought back a free holiday roll. It was delish. Shortly after we placed our order and did not wait very long to get our food. I got the Austin powers roll. My fiancé got the crazy roll. We split the gyoza. All of which was tasty. Staff was nice and helpful. Atmosphere was nice.”

“Corn tacos, so you don’t have to worry about gluten! I highly recommend the Huitlocoche if you like savory flavors and mushrooms. It was a bit messy, but oh-so-satisfying! We both got this one. Husband also got the Chicken Tinga, and I got the special taco-of-the-day (for $3!) which was also a vegetarian option. They have 3 vegetarian tacos always on the menu, so this place is great for my veggie-friends and my GF people. At least a couple of the veggie tacos are also vegan, or can be made vegan (leaving off the ranch sauce for example). This place looks tiny but there’s a jungle patio out back so don’t be discouraged by the size!”

“Haven't lived here long so veryyyyy excited to find this lovely place!! I bought 2 kinds of kim chi and they had spicy fish cake!! Also bought kim bop! I grew up on Korean food and they have all you need to prepare it or just eat it including a small cafe in the back!! Also very friendly and nice so those hater reviews can kick rocks! Asians are naturally more calm in demeanor it don't mean nothing bad! Some folks just like to complain 🙄 Anywho will definitely be back!!”

“This place food look sloppy and uninviting to the taste bud but the taste not bad. I just will never buy any more because it look 🤮....”

“It looks cute on the inside. It's kinda like an upscale fast food. You order and pay at the counter, they provide you with a number to display at your table and a server will bring your food/ drinks to your table. The servers I encountered were all very friendly and helpful and took the time to explain the menu. I ordered a biscuit by itself as a starter and had the great American for dinner. The sole biscuit had food flavor but, unfortunately, was a little dry. The toppings were yummy though. The great American also had good flavor and i loved the waffle fries. However, all in all, I don't think it was worth the money I spend. I think the food was over priced.”

“They have buffet special on weekends. We were here today(Friday) and the buffet ends at 2:30pm. I would call prior to make sure. Really good food and tasty for the price, we paid $16 each. A lot of varieties for main dish and sides and soup. I would recommend to get the Mango Lassi. It looks like they have outdoor seating as well. Awesome service!”

“Awesome place to get specialty tacos! Of course their quesabirria is amazing, love the Freestyle Asada and Mahi taco too. Price isn't bad at all for what you get! My go-to place from now on!”

“Sorrento has been serving up some of the most well-known Italian favorites in the San Jose area for many years. One can always expect and receive the freshest of the fresh food available. Along with the classic favorites, the chef creates new and perfectly executed fare for those of us looking for something different. Tonight's dinner was no exception. A perfect bottle of wine that complimented each dish graced our table. A tartare wrapped in Parma Ham over arugula with perfectly toasted crostini set the mood for the table. Then thinly slices of tomato drizzled in olive oil topped with fresh salmon were light and refreshing offerings. The addition of tomato water was a new and tasty experience for us. The arrival of house-made semolina squid ink pasta sealed the deal. Served with clams and fresh salmon, this particular and unusual dish delighted everyone. Our next surprise, Quack & Mac, rich and creamy tubes of pasta combined with duck confit. A rich combination not to be overlooked. Just when we thought it couldn't be any better, it was, desert arrived—freshly made slices each of Tiramisu and Chocolate Ganache Cake. Treat yourself to dinner on the night. See what the chef is cooking up. FC”

“Very sweet people and very helpful. Naan was so crispy and good that we ordered 3 rounds. The sauce was a little sweeter than other Indian restaurants that I've come to, but surprisingly, I liked it a lot. Samosa was delicious and had just the right amount of flavor. Portions for the masalas were larger than what I've ordered in the past. We actually have some left over, which never happens. I am very happy with our visit, and I will most definitely be back next time I visit my uncle in Jacksonville.”

“We arrived at 6pm with a group of 10 people. No one else was in the restaurant at the time we arrived. Our server was on his own while 2 other employees sat at a table wrapping silverware. It look 2 people at our table over 20 mins to get their drinks while the ladies sat not offering to help at all. Service alone was poor, which makes even the best of meals leave a bad taste. This was our 4thtime at this restaurant and service has been poor 3 out of 4 times, this is our last visit here.”
