Wow, this restaurant is so good. We had the shrimp lollipop as our appetizer. We both had the catch of the day Corvina blackened over rice and beans. We decided to share the bread pudding. It was so good we ordered more to go. We highly recommend it. Kate was our server she was so informative and friendly.
BB’s has a really fun atmosphere with staff that went above and beyond during my visit. After much debate, I went with the filet and it was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The bacon marmalade on top was a great addition. I highly recommend having dinner here over the big name restaurants in the area.
We had a wonderful lunch at bb's to celebrate my birthday today. Everything was perfect from the service to the food. Husband had blackened salmon, and I got beef tenderloin sandwich, with marinated tomatoes and melted brie. Tender and so flavorful! 1pm was very busy and loud, but by 1:30 it was quieting down. Took a piece of Pina Colada cake home, and it's so yummy!
From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was beautiful.. the perfect vibe for dressing up, catching up, and enjoying good energy. The staff was amazing… attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcomed. For appetizers, we tried the shrimp lollipops, bread and butter, and the salmon salad,, everything was flavorful!!. For my entrée, I had the blackened fish and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and full of flavor. Kudos to the Cook:Chef,bartender & Sara our waitress Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!
Excellent service and food! Limited seating so you may want to make a reservation. Very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. We had an omelette du jour and a grilled red snapper! Yum! Outdoor seating is in the parking lot so it’s not a great place for outside dining. We’d definitely go again.
This is a beautifully designed place. A dish that may seem simple “in theory” can still be nearly perfect, and bb’s proves it. Eating a sandwich here feels like enjoying the best gourmet sandwich in North Florida. The moment you walk in, the energy of the restaurant makes you feel happy — it has an incredible vibe. The place stays full, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. This restaurant strikes the perfect balance between a great atmosphere and casual yet spectacular cuisine. Highly recommended.
This was our first time ever visiting Jacksonville, Florida, and thanks to a friend’s recommendation, we ended up at bb’s — and wow, I am so glad we did. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Truly one of those rare meals where nothing misses. The ribeye steak was hands-down the best ribeye I’ve ever had in my life — perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor without being overdone or fussy. Just done right. The salmon appetizer (those crispy little gems!) was absolutely delicious, and the salmon dish itself was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. You can tell real care goes into the food. Even the mocktail was outstanding — refreshing, thoughtfully made, and clearly not an afterthought. From the food to the atmosphere, everything felt intentional, welcoming, and elevated without being pretentious. This spot turned our first Jacksonville dining experience into a memorable one, and we will 100% be back the next time we’re in town. Highly recommend. A true gem.
Kacey, Logan, Christy and all the chefs/kitchen and front staff were sooo friendly.... and that's excellent on its own, but you return for the food... and let me tell you.... we WILL return. I am here travelling from the northeast and the popovers, crab cakes and scallops were so perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy/tender/moist on the inside/center...I haven't had that good of a meal in a while - and I eat well and like going to all levels of places as long as the food is good. This was a meal to remember!!!! My colleague and I laughed so hard because by the time we got to dessert, we were sooo full, but they sounded sooo great that we HAD to try - ok, ok - I had to try!!! I hope you go and have as great an experience as we did. I'll be telling everyone I can about this delicious delight!!!
