Not that impressed

by Maximental78

I love a good breakfast, especially when I'm on the road. Having to come to Mayo, I looked for a place to fill my breakfast jones. Reading that this place was voted best in Jacksonville, I knew I had found the gem I was looking for. Boy was I disappointed. The food was bland and not all that impressive. The menu was pedestrian at best, lacking any degree of imagination. Portions were average at best. If this an example of the best in Jacksonville, then you people must be happy with mediocrity in your breakfast as you are with your football team. About the only thing worthwhile was two rather cute waitresses with nice bods. Next time I'll go to Macdonalds

A family favorite

by katieanddustin

My grandmother has a condo two blocks from the Beach Hut Cafe, so it is an easy early morning walk for a good, homestyle breakfast and coffee. If you are on a diet, I don't recommend this place! There is nothing low cal or low fat on the menu - just good old fatty breakfast foods. Of course, they serve other meals, but I have never eaten anything but breakfast here. You can get pretty much anything you want, even if it is not on the menu. Stay away from the pancakes though, they are a little tough. You also either want to come early, as we do, or closer to the tail end of the breakfast rush because it can be hard to get a table. Having won many accolades from local papers and magazines, the Beach Hut is a great place to eat. Once you go, you will go back! The people are friendly and the food is affordable - not to mention good! I highly recommend their biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon.

• Pros: excellent food; excellent value
• Cons: can get busy

Beach Hut Rocks

by floridalion2000

I grew up going to Beach Hut, my mother was best friends with one of the waitresses. I always thought the food was great and the staff friendly. I now am married and live in CT and I miss the down home cooking of this restuarant.

• Pros: inexpensive, friendly service, great food
• Cons: always crowded
