Me and my husband just ate here,never in my life have I seen a business run off 35 customers because they just mopped their floor, we will never eat here again and complaining because they wanted to eat there.That's just poor work ethnic in my opinio

Why didn't you put it in a REVIEW? Then people can see it and decide where to eat!!

My wife and I come in on Sunday nights after church with our family, but the past few Sundays they have a new cook and the food has been horrible my chicken was raw and everything was just not good we will not be back.

Last 3 times I went my food would be cold when I got it. Will not be back.

Went to famos amos on normandy on 8/28 /19 the new manager sucks alway runs out of food and the cooks which is her family dont know how to cook the owner must not care about customer food taste nasty

Crying shame cause this is my go to spot when I travel to Jacksonville. Hope they get it straightened out. Been going there since 1976.

Is it normal to find pieces of boiled eggs in the turkey and dressing meal?

Of course, how else would you prepare it? You're in the South, ya know.

When does the seasonal hours start cause I just called to make an order but they refused because they close at 8 30 but online says they close at 10

Website hasn't been updated. They close at 8:30

Are you open today

Not good. The food was cold. The meat loaf was hard, like it was old. Went in with my elderly aunt, she wanted Famous Amos resteraunt. I sat and delt with it to make her happy. Service was better than the food. I do remember the days when they where excellent, those days are gone, I guess.

Day crew ugg I ordered turkey and dressing. The dressing tasted kind of odd but I went ahead and ate some of it. Now I'm paying for it. The new kitchen crew sucks eggs not cooked right hash browns burnt. someone needs to teach the daytime crew how to be like the nighttime crew everything is delicious in the evening

The only reason they get 2 stars is because the waitress was new. She tried just wasnt getting much guidance with her job. Now the food..... If I could give zero stars I would. Side salad-garbage don't waste the extra money. The boneless breast over rice was microwaved because the rice was almost soupy. The mac and cheese was reheated in the microwave. The chicken gizzards were as chewy as a piece of leather and the breading was over cooked and burnt. You would be better off eating from the gas station.

We just had lunch there today and it was really good! Service pleasant and attentive. Sandwiches were first rate. I had the Reuben , great thick cuts of corned beef and my husband had the turkey club combo...thick slices of white neat turkey! French fries and onion rings were done right, too.Waitress was Pat and she was great!

It was my first time going here and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. The highest price I remember seeing was $14. The food was in smaller portions than I expected but it was good and it was still really good. I would recommend it for some good southern food for a reasonable price.

This is a Family Treat. My family has been coming here for years, maybe not this location, but the Famous Amos chain. The people here are amazing, customer service is off the charts. Craig, our server, super nice, very fast (that's a good thing!) And always asking if we need anything. He made sure our orders were correct. Everything here is amazing. The food was amazing. The atmosphere here is calm and peaceful. Truly a great place to eat, and relax. I wish I could give more than 5 Stars. Craig, you deserve 10 Stars. Keep up the good work!

Not impressed with the new owners or managers at this location. The grilled fish came out so salty and over baked , the extra charge for salad as a side was ridiculous( it was just lettuce with 2 cherry tomatoes) . My husband's chuck roast and gravy was even over salted. They took 15 minutes just to get us drinks then another 30 for the food. Not ever returning there . They took the fish dinner off the ticket but the manager neither the waitress apologized for anything . I understand they were short handed with waitresses but the manager should have come and spoke to us.

I've eaten in these restaurants for over 45 years and miss the ones that have closed over the years. The food and staff are great. Never been disappointed, for great Southern comfort food. Love their fresh biscuits and coffee, your mouth watering yet. Come in and get the best meals in town. Ya'll come back now. Yee haw!

Based on one take out meal - don't eat here. This was the worst meal I have ever paid for. The mashed potatoes and fried squash were just inedible. The side salad is lettuce and cukes. OK but really? The fried chicken livers are OK the gravy is inedible. I'm shocked. How do you make mashed potatoes THAT awful?

Food was great. Employees wore masks the entire time. They were courteous and very efficient. I had the baked chicken with dressing and gravy and cranberry sauce. You got two sides but I only chose one - potato salad. It was the BEST potato salad. Biscuits straight out of the oven. I can't wait to go back!

Our party of 4 waited to long for service! The table next to us was vacated, cleaned, then 4 more persons were seated, their orders taken, their food made and set on their table,they ate and left while we still waited. This tends to drive people away rather than to come again!

Famous Amos used to be such a good place to eat. Sadly, it has gone downhill. Still a good breakfast but as far as the other "Southern" cooked foods, it is a waste of time to go eat there. I had the chicken fried steak, it was much overcooked and black...like it was cooked yesterday and warmed up in the deepfryer. Fried squash was more crust than squash. , biscuits were cold and the cornbread lacked an ingredient....they were flat like a pancake! Very disapointing the last few times we have eaten there. I will order only breakfast from now on...if we even go again. So sad Famous Amos has become so bad.

The sign outside said under new manager and servers. My family and I decided to give them a try. They weren't that busy but only had 2 people on the floor. The younger lady did absolutely nothing. While the older woman ran her butt off. We waited forever to get our order taken. Then the food was cold when we got it. I felt sorry for the woman who was running her butt off. The other girl that was half her age was just wondering around wiping off tables. I was not impressed but we made sure that the little older woman got a good tip. It's not her fault that she couldn't get any help. She literally was waiting on every table in the restaurant.
