Rude and unprofessional. Not the best choice for beers nor food. Good luck
This place looks like an ordinary bar, but DAAAAAMN does it deliver!! I chose this special which was seared sea scallops over a Parmesan risotto with asparagus finished with a balsamic drizzle and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! The calamari was also delicious.I would get anything here time any time!Ali, our server, was..... AMAZING!Nice, knowledgeable, and funny.We had dinner plans somewhere else, but I took too long and we ended up here... Im so glad we did.
Service is always prompt even when they have a full house. Staff treated us so nice. This place has an awesome feel to it.
I stopped in after work with my pups. They have a nice large patio and brought out 2 big water bowls as soon as we sat down. The burger and waffle fries was the best Ive had in a while. Thanks Monkeys Uncle wait staff! Service with a smile!
Great atmosphere and the kitchen is better than 95% of restaurants in town! Anything breaded is in house. Hand pattied burgers not frozen. Freshly made. Great independent locally owned neighborhood pub. Bartenders are superb as well.
This is my spot! Can’t speak more highly of this place! The food is great, the service is even better! This place is amazing!
Placed an order on Thanksgiving night thru Uber Eats around 6:00. My husband called the Monkeys Uncle around 6:15 to make sure they would be putting the condiment packets, (ketchup, mayo, etc.) in with the order. The woman ASSURED him, oh yes, we do that. Our order arrived on time, by a wonderful driver. We opened our order. There were zero condiments. No silverware, napkins, salt/pepper, mayo, ketchup. Nada. We are in a hotel room on Thanksgiving night. I called the establishment. Spoke to an employee. I was placed on hold for a good minute. The owner/manager came on the line. He did apologize, and said he would speak to his staff, however, it didnt change the fact that he was chuckling while he was speaking to me and we ended up eating two bites of our dinner and and ended up pitching the rest. Our $39.58 cheeseburger and reuben ended up in the trash with no offer of what can I do to fix this?.
Best sports bar overall at the beaches. The food is awesome and it comes out quick. Last night the service was pretty bad but one experience, hey it happens it was busy, the waitress didn’t know how to split the bill which was odd. I think she was overwhelmed. She didn’t write anything down so she didn’t remember who had what items. Probably took us 40 minutes to get that settled. Overall though great food great atmosphere.
Great food and service. Nice place to catch the games with lots of TVs
One of my frequent spots since I love a particular group of people that gather here. The service is good, sometimes the servers get overwhelmed but they try hard. Food is always excellent and the menus are adventurous, not just bar food. The only issue I have had is that I need to watch my bill. I have caught errors and overcharges a few times now. Once is a mistake, more than that and it looks like its a regular practice. Be aware and look at your bill, dont just hand over your card.
Great venue, great wait staff (Carmen/Jamie top notch) very friendly, courteous and expedient! Cudos’ to the kitchen cook staff as well! Food was awesome! Lots of good food and drink specials for sure.
Always awesome food.They have a jukebox so their customers can play music... Someone keeps playing the same songs over and over. Otherwise, great spot to hang out, get some beers, and watch sports.
Monkeys Uncle is a nice Tavern to visit near Jacksonville Beach. Me and my wife have visited numerous times. Friendly and inviting ambience. We plan to visit again soon. Thank you Uncle for your great service.
Yet another great place to grab drinks and chill! Always a good time at Monkeys!
One of my favorites. Always great service. Staff is great. Food is consistent and great
Really good food. Huge bar with a lively atmosphere.
The food was amazing. The service was helpful and kind. Prices are decent for the quality.
Visited on a Wednesday I think. I had a cousin come into town and asked me to take him back here. The bill was reasonable I would say.
Great ambiance & decor. Looking forward to a return trip. Prices were fair.
Its a Bar, that has great food! Crazy concept... haha but yeah they have some of the best Bar food in Jax and their drink deals are decent.
Great food great service! Also, we got there late one night, the manager Jerrica actually found a place that was still open so we could go get some food. This place is highly recommend!And cheers to jerrica!
Love the good and Dado its a super sweet waiter! Carter always friendly when he is there.
Loved it greatest service ever love the wine and tequila
Great wings at a good price, nice selection of drinks. Service is friendly.
Great food and friendly service.Immaculately clean, and social distancing enforced.
Great food The server was great he was on top of everything
Food here is amazing! Your missing out if you dont stop in here!
Just ate two burgers back to back and got one to go. The 5$ burger is an amazing deal and presentation was impressive as always. Fun welcoming environment with quick and attentive service! Couldnt recommend more!
Amazing food, great staff! Ask for Jamie or Doty!
I came with friends on Trivia Night for the first time and had an absolute blast! The servers are attentive and the bartenders were amazing. The food was good and drinks were epic. Its a laid back place, and very friendly. So if you are looking for a fancy place with valet parking and weird drinks that you have never heard of, this aint the place for you. If you are looking for a place to have fun, meet a few new people and enjoy the night in a true local bar, then this is the place for you.
I really want to like this place. We have been in a few times. For the price, the food is OK. The service is usually great.This last time meals were ok. Mahi was overcooked, but blackened shrimp were good. Son liked the wings, but said fried shrimp was ok. Wife got the crab cake sandwich, meh. She felt the crab cake lacked flavor over the fried oil flavor.Bridey was a great server, so made the meal better. Wont rush back, especially for a meal. Too many great restaurants in the area for these price points.
Food is great! $5.00 burger and fry great deal. Hubby got boom boom shrimp and loved the sauce. Our waiter was super chill and friendly. Great atmosphere. Recommend
Very inexperienced bar attendants. Don’t really know their brand names and too young to know how to make a good drink. Definitely not a fun Sunday. They were not friendly !!!
Great local bar. Service is great and drinks are strong. The food is absolutely delicious. The southwest egg roll appetizer is absolutely heavenly. Chicken fried chicken is great too. Has pool tables and darts and a large patio. Karaoke, trivia, etc. on various nights. Will definitely be back!
Love the vibe and karaoke folks.
$5 burger is great
Best wings ever!!!! Drinks were refreshing and our server was prompt and professional. Definitely going again soon!
The atmosphere is very chill the food is yummy and local bands are a solid staple in the bar. Awesome bands too
Great food! I had the jumbo wings with honey sriracha sauce (sweet and spicy, but not to spicy) and my daughter had the cheese steak both were excellent! Everything was clean even the restroom! Will definitely be back!
Our waitress was very sweet and did a great job. I will definately go back. Food was delicious!
Cheap but very good hamburgers.. lots of TV, pool tables, good drinks
Great drinks and food
Bias alert... I love this place! Well run... friendly staff with an incredible owner. Management is always improving the food, drink specials, etc. Locals brag about the food during lunch and dinner! Visitors rave about the nightlife after dark... Great drinks, live music, Karaoke, trivia, and pool tables. Any problems that Ive ever heard of, which are rare, were quickly resolved... Couldnt ask for much more.
Canceled my food delivery order 20 minutes after I placed it with Uber Eats.
Good place doesnt look the best honestly but its a quiet bar the staff are amazing and the food is really good. Its worth the try
I made my bi-daily trip to 1550 Hendricks Avenue, and before I could exhale the first taste of their latest twist on natures cure-all from the areas premiere pharmacy, my driver/mechanic had me singing Alice In Chains Rooster in front of a packed house. How does she double-clutch with those heels? Too much fun with ur clothes on...
Great food and staff. Loved the fried banana peppers!
Came here for some beers and gator tail while waiting for a friend to get home. Good choice of beers and fried gator tail was amazing.
Food is great.ppl are great.getting smashed is great. and if your lucky youll find your future ex there
First time here and I love it!! Katie is so sweet and made the most perfect martini to make me come back and tell my friends! Thumbs up
Good time with friends...
Enjoyed a amazing Grilled Tuna on Marble Rye.Absolutely delicious
Great food! Plenty of TVs. Just a little slow on service but college games were on so it was busy. Will definitely be back!
I enjoyed hanging out here, the food was good, the drinks were priced fairly, and the pool table was only a dollar a game. great spot to hang out
Plenty of parking, attentive wait staff, hugh selection of adult beverages, really good food.
Food was great and KB is one of those special bartenders - great gal!
Brian the manager and Heather the waitress were the best Ive ever dealt with. Heather made sure we were never in need of anything and Brian came to ask how our time there was.
Our go to place! We love Monkeys Uncle!! Great food!awesome atmosphere and the owners are amazing! Dont Miss This Special Place
Love the friendly service and great drinks (especially happy hour). I just wish they would invest in a Bluetooth speaker or something so we could play trivia on the patio. As much as we spend there, I would think they would have gotten this fixed before we decided to try trivia some place else.
Location great..food was yummy..lively atmosphere.. close to Beach... karaoke, etc.. if into Sports plenty of large TV screens!
Definitely a big improvement on the old place that was farther south on A1A. This place is bigger, better lit, more modern, and the menu is new and improved with a lot of the old classics. Went on Friday night during March Madness, there were more kids than I expected in a beach bar at that hour but lets chalk that up to the sports on TV. The place was crowded so service was a little slower than I had come to expect, but overall a good experience. I would go back.
Favorite local hangout! Good food, Great service!
Great burger and fries for $5
Good place to watch a game. Food and service was good.
Was excited to hear that this place serves late night food, but I found myself down the road eating at Mellow Mushroom instead. My fiancee and I sat at the bar for awhile and waited longer than we should of. Two employees, one seemingly the manager on shift, successfully avoided greeting us after 5 minutes, though we were right in front of them, and seemed open to taking care of everyone around us. This review is solely based off customer service and does not speak to quality of the food, which we werent able to try. Well consider revisiting at another time to see if we catch a better crew.
Nice people good food
Great place to meet with friends and great bartenders!
A Jacksonville Beach staple... a great place to go ... eat... Hangout ...drink ..sing karaoke...always fun...
A exceptionally friendly atmosphere, great food, beer and company. Highly recommended place to wet your whistle
Service was really slow at first. Bartender didnt put in my order. Took 45 minutes to get my food, they were slammed, and dont appear to do well when busy, the kitchen at least. It is a friendly environment and great for televised sports events. Great environment, could do better with their beer selection. I would go back
It was my first time going and I really enjoyed myself. The atmosphere is very relaxed and chill. Will go again ️️
Mostly went for a 40 year wedding anniversary! Staff was friendly and prompt and a nice atmosphere
Food and drinks are very good. The prices are very good. Plus if you are into sports they lots of TVs. If you are into games they have darts, pool tables, and other games.
This place is wonderful. All age groups are welcome as well as families. The food is wonderful the burgers are incredible as well as the fresh fried shrimp and the meatloaf dinner is outstanding!Bar staff are attentive and do a great job whether it be the bartender or the waitresses. They have a stage which they use for karaoke, not sure if they have bands but if they do what a great addition to the casual bustling ambience.I had a mushroom Swiss burger that was phenomenal with the Fried Boom Boom shrimp. Both were delicious. On another visit had the meatloaf ( better than moms) trust me. A great place after the beach or for a late dinner as kitchen is open until 1 am. This will become a regular stop for me. It’s inexpensive and very good. You have nothing to lose by trying it! Go have a beer and the Boom Boom Shrimp!Tom F.
Great bartenders,5 dollars hamburger and steak fries,great people and food
I have never been treated more poorly by a manager in my life. This place use to be good but has gone down hill over the years.
Went for lunch and had a mahi sandwich. Lots of fish on toasted and buttered bun-tasty. The steak fries that came with it were a bit under cooked and limp. Sandwich was all I cared about and it was delish. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.
If youre looking for a family friendly dive bar. So to speak. Go to Monkeys Uncle Tavern. Amazing food, good prices, and an unrivaled staff. Its definitely the place to be if you want to feel at home.
Great burger, drinks, nice atmosphere
Great food and friendly bar
Cool local bar great place to hang out .
When the pretty little bartender is super friendly to the men then barely courteous and hardly helpful to a woman like me of a certain age, methinks shes only in it for the tips. If only she knew...
Really fun had triva night and we just played pool.. pool tables was in the cut which I like cause I dont like feeling like I have to be around a lot of ppl.Only thing is is we walked in and there was noone up front to greet us or give us a menu. Considering we never been there before..
Great food, great staff, its a Must if your at the beach.
Good food nice people
Great drinks and prices! Christine and Doty are soo sweet and some of the best servers I have had. I was a server for 8 years so I know. Thank you Monkeys Uncle!
Great food, service and prices
Having a beer while getting to know a new friend was very nice here. The atmosphere and ability to hear each other was great while listening to nice music and some great karaoke plus they have pool tables!
Very poor service today
Love this place. Best staff in Jax beach
The atmosphere was lively, the service stiff.
