Really cool local place! Good food and very inexpensive. Great staff and something different for the family and friends. I’m definitely going back. BTW if you like potatoes and bacon do yourself a favor and get the potato salad, it’s very good.

This place is a nice, clean and fun authentic hot dog place. The staff is super friendly, clean place and the hot dogs are delicious. They have arcade games and cold beer.. every week they change three of their craft beers. I haven’t seen my husband this happy in so long. He barely even siloed his second beer because he was busy playing the pinball machines .. too cute.. support this business it’s great!!

The owner was there actually working with his employees. Walked in and immediately got greeted. Asked if we had been there before and then was handed a sample from tap (after checking IDs if course). Good beers on tap. Good food great service.Pro military and law enforcement. Love it! Will definitely be back soon!

A definite gem in Jacksonville! The Gone AWOL Cafe is a must add to your list of family friendly places...the establishment is extremely clean, the staff is helpful and very attentive and there is a large selection of games/food (and beer)! Reasonably priced! Veteran owned!Side note...before we added this stop to my daughter’s birthday itinerary we messaged Gone AWOL on Facebook, their response time was impeccable and they were happy to answer a plethora of weird helicopter parent questions.Thank you for bringing this much needed spot to our community.

I had the pleasure of going here for lunch last week with a good friend. I got a cheese hot dog with onions and jalapeños my friend got a club sandwich. The food was great and affordable prices too! The young gentleman that helped us was so nice and very polite! I definitely recommend stoping in for lunch. They also serve beer have a arcade next door that’s probably open now and a gun shop on the other side. Check it out you won’t be disappointed

Review №83

This place is beyond amazing. The food is extremely delicious (I dont eat hot dogs that often, and their Devil Dog left me wanting another), and we also tried the Jarhead (their reuben) which did not disappoint. The potato salad is the best I have ever tasted. While you wait for your food, definitely play some pinball or the other arcade games. This reminded me of childhood ventures to a local restaurant that had a similar setup, and Im happy to take more trips down memory lane with Gone AWOL Cafe.One of my favorite parts is the employees are all military veterans, and everything pays tribute to the military in some way. Thank you, Gone AWOL staff, for your service, and thank you for the excellent service during our visit.

Wonderful cafe. The food is amazing, as well as the customer service. Fun games, and beer! I 10/10 recommend! Also, check out the gun shop “Semper-Fi Guns” right next door.
