Just moved to JAX... need to eat! =0)

My husband and I just moved to Jacksonville and we are a bunch of food snobs =0). We are very picky about the restaurants we go to so we need some good recommendations. We came from Southern CA where we had some awesome food to choose from. We had a choice of authentic Mexican, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and Korean just to name a few. These are the types of cuisines we are looking for. We don't care how far we have to drive (well as long as its not an hour away), we just want good food! Please help!
Click on my tag, and you see a bunch of reviews and pointers for a variety of local places. Here's a list of my favorites of some of the types you see listed above.
Chinese: Bamboo Creek at Tinseltown - good Chinese from the menu, and HK style dim sum. No carts for dinner, but all dim sum is available from the dim sum menu. The best Chinese in town, IMO. You will miss SoCal, but this is quite good, really.
Korean - Sam Won Garden on University Blvd. - it's about the only Korean place I know of locally, and I like it. That's about all I can say. We have BBQ on every corner, but it's not Korean BBQ. :)
Thai - I like Thai Garden in Orange Park, but you'll see lots of Thai available around town. Sala Thai is nice neighborhood Thai on the Southside, and Basil Thai is more upscale in San Marco.
Mexican - lots around, none authentic. You can get a decent Tacos Al Pastor at La Nopalera (several around town.) I like the one on Hendricks in San Marco. It's a dive, but the food is good, and everybody cooking is Mexican, honest to God.
Japanese - lots of Sushi everywhere, and some of it is even OK. We like our neighborhood places - Sumo Sushi and Sushi Cafe, both in Riverside. Teppanyaki is ubiquitous, all are about the same. Nothing special, but you know what you're going to get. Authentic Japanese? If you find some, please post here.
I invite you to develop a taste for BBQ, and southern homestyle meat and veg. Finding this here is like finding great Chinese in greater LA - there are all sorts of goodies to enjoy. Lots of recommendations for local joints - just check my board and search the Florida board for Jacksonville. You'll get a sense of where to avoid. Never eat a bite at the Jacksonville Landing, if you can help it. Not a bite of anything there is edible.
Welcome to town! Try lots of stuff, and please post your impressions pro or con right here. We love it here, and we never go hungry. :)

re: mezzrow
Thank you so much!! This helps a lot! Ill be sure to try these places out and let you know how we liked them! =0)
re: mezzrow
Okay so... The first restaurant we tried going to was Sangria House which was today (Monday) and we didn't know it was closed on Mondays so now we will have to try that place another day thats not a Monday. So we decided on a place that was close by, this was Sala Thai.
Sorry to say but this Thai restaurant was a BIG disappointment. Now my husband is Vietnamese and the only thing he liked at this restaurant was the Thai Tea. I didn't like anything!
This is what we had:
1. Papaya Salad: Way TOO much Fish Sauce! We couldn't even taste the Papaya there was so much fish sauce.
2. Tom Yum Soup: Watered Down and huge chunks of Mushrooms which are not suppose to be so big.
3. Black Bean Snapper: Traditionally its suppose to be a whole fish and not a fillet. That wasn't so bad.
4. Pad Thai: Very very bland, no flavor whatsoever (we actually took this to go, which I am glad cause now we can add our own spices to it to taste better).
5. Thai Tea: Which my husband approved
6. Thai Ice Coffee: Gross. It was like Thai Ice tea and coffee mixed together.
So there you go. I'm sorry if I was harsh, but it had to be said.
When we start to crave Thai, we will be sure to check out Thai Garden. =0)
re: mezzrow
Well mmtrinh1223 is my wife and well to be frank, I just got off the toilet after eating its food. Now to those who think I can't handle my "spicy/ethnic" food, just let me tell you that I'm a first-generation Vietnamese guy who grew up in Orange County, California eating Vietnamese dishes created by my mum (yes, that means tripe, duck's/pig's blood, and other beautiful offal prepared beautifully). I'm 22 years old and have eaten in hole-in-the-wall establishments in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, England, France, Spain, and halal street food in Manhattan. I eat food on naval ships for months on end so I've had some of the worst and some of the best. I can handle most gastronomical endeavors.
Sala Thai was a default after stopping at Sangria House and realizing it was closed on Mondays after we checked its website on my mobile.
I will elaborate on what my wife has said.
Papaya salad: Really? Really now?! How hard is it to throttle back on the fish sauce. I'm Vietnamese. We KNOW fish sauce and we use it like its going out of style (which it apparently hasn't). Find a balance, Sala Thai! Dousing the salad with the fish sauce doesn't tout your Asian-ness.
Tom Yum Goong/Kung: It was weak with quartered button mushrooms. I was confused. Very weak with lemongrass notes pattering away.
Black bean snapper: As is true with southern states that serve seafood; it was battered and fried. Not crispy as if it were scored and submerged/ladled with hot oil to cook. This was the only thing worth eating (that and the rice it was served with).
Thai tea: It was a bit sweet but it was quite acceptable. My palate isn't as skilled for this drink.
Thai coffee: I've never had it and I had to ask. It sounded interesting. Best way to describe it? Dirty rendition of thai tea with coffee instead of tea.
The ambiance was not too bad (I don't really care about an establishment's ambiance in general) but the lighting (which I do mind) was a bit too dark for me. The waitstaff was extremely courteous.
The dishes we had at Sala Thai would NOT be considered Chowhound worthy.
re: ChristDriven
Sorry about the bad experience, CD. My experience w/ Sala is limited to an occasional quick lunch, and my background in Asian chow isn't nearly as deep as yours. Sounds like you got the equivalent of chicken fried steak w/ brown gravy - unacceptable. They're really nice folks, and the panang curry for lunch tends to be quick and tasty. I'm not a Thai tea guy, so YMMV, I suppose. Better Thai can be had at Thai Garden in OP, my favorite in the area.
BTW, should you find something really authentic for Asian of any kind, please let us know here. Sorry you missed the tapas. A note - the son of the folks at Sangria House has a hole in the wall place in Riverside, and he cooks a much less traditional tapas menu than his Mom. Just a note - look for 13 Gypsies in Jacksonville. I think he's closed on Monday as well.
re: mezzrow
Funny you say that because despite all I've eaten...::lowers voice::...i _like_ chicken fried steak. =D
Thai Garden will be an option we'll look towards when we're up for Thai again.
For Vietnamese, we stumbled upon Saigon Cafe (622 Cassat Ave.) from a previous Jacksonville post. I didn't have pho but my wife did. She enjoyed it. I tasted a bit of it but I wasn't up for pho that day so my opinion was biased. Decor was okay (not great) and prices are a bit more than in Westminster, CA (which is where mmtrinh1223 and I are from). The prices were still very reasonable considering the small population of Vietnamese in Jacksonville. My general rules for mom and pop Vietnamese restaurants are that the decor SHOULD be bad. If I see a "fusion" Vietnamese restaurant with trendy decor, I generally stay away because their market focus is not on the Vietnamese-everyman/woman. That upscale decor also signifies high prices for food that is NOT supposed to be expensive.
I'm taking note of 13 Gypsies joint. Spanish tapas are also one of my most favorite cuisines (grammar check, anyone?).
Anyone else who is serious about food, check out Coulter Kirkpatrick's blog (http://www.jacksonville.com/interact/...) at the Florida-Times Union website. He seems to be as serious about food as anyone else. If you do decide to read his blog, I comment on there as JonathanN.
re: ChristDriven
Thanks so much for the link to the Foodie Jerk's online column! Too bad he doesn't have a column in the regular print food section on Thursdays. I don't care for spicy Mexican food, but am tempted to try Pepe's after reading his review and seeing the market pics!
re: mezzrow
Okay so today we went to try that Bamboo Creek restaurant and this is what I have to say about that:
My husband and I decided to try this place out today and were pretty satisfied by the end of the meal.
We arrived at around 11:40am and got sat right away. What made this place promising was that there were other Asians (Chinese and Vietnamese) in the restaurant. Made me miss home to hear loud Vietnamese people chattering away =0) All of the food came out fresh and on those carts! =0)
Anyways this is what we had:
1. Hot Jasmine Tea
2. Char Siu Bao- Steamed buns with BBQ pork (one of my favorite things to eat!)
3. Fung Jeow- Chicken Feet
4. Sui Mai- Pork/shrimp dumplings
5. Har Gau- Shrimp dumplings
6. Fried Taro
I think that was it. I am sad to say there were some stuff we really wanted (Egg Custard and Tendon) that they didn't have. Our waiter said that they were understaff in the kitchen and said that a lot of their customers ask for those items. My husband just couldn't understand why if some items are in high demand they just don't make those first. Oh well.
This place is good, but since I've had better in CA its not great. We will take what we can get =0) We will come back to this place most def.
Thanks for the tip! More food to eat and more reviewing to come! =0)
BTW: That Vietnamese Restaurant my husband was talking about (ChrisDriven), is pretty good, you should check it out!
re: mmtrinh1223
re: Saigon Cafe - will do... Looking for a cold day to put away a nice bowl of pho. Thanks!
I've driven past Saigon Cafe for years and never stopped. Big thanks for the link to the Foodie Jerk site at the T-U. This is new to me.
Westside Taco Trucks? I'm there!! Weekends too??
Dos tacos al pastor, gracias...
re: mezzrow
There's another Vietnamese place called Saigon Bistro on 3546 St. Johns Bluff, JAX. We went to this place the other night, and thought it was pretty good as well. I have to say their broth was better than the Saigon Cafe place BUT Saigon Cafe gives more meat than this place. I think we will probably go to Saigon Bistro more just because its closer to where we live.
Also we ate at that Sushi Cafe this past Sunday. The fish was good, we were surprised about that, but its kinda weird knowing that our fish is being prepared and served by Chinese people lol. Oh and what is with that 1pc deal? That kinda got to me haha. Sorry I guess I am a big critic when it comes to Sushi joints just because I lived in Japan.
We shall try Sumo Sushi the next time we want a sushi fix =0)
Welcome to Jax ... we, too, moved from SoCal (San Diego), and miss our cuisine choices! I agree w/ everything Mezzrow posted ... and would add these (not sure where you are living ... but most of these should be closer than an hour from any side of town): For nice tapas, Sangria House on Southside boulevard ... not much atmosphere, but good, homemade food;
for Thai, I like Pattaya Thai on Baymeadows (although I haven't been there in a while); Middle Eastern, Hala's on University .. again, not somewhere to go for the atmosphere, but good, solid hummus, tabouli, and the standards;
Bistro Aix in San Marco is yummy - excellent desserts and wonderful fresh-tossed salads ... some of the entrees are hit or miss;
good BBQ - Mojo's on University ... homemade sides and nice meats (not preprocessed stuff);
The Brick in Riverside ... especially nice to sit outside and enjoy some fine weather; also in Riverside, Biscotti's for nice desserts and good food (albeit small-ish portions, which isn't great for a really hungry husband)
Al's Pizza (several around town) for a pretty good pizza - don't really recommend the pasta dishes ... excellent grilled chicken salad
For lunch - the French Pantry on Powers (don't let the outside fool you .. very yummy food)
Havana Jax on Beach (in San Marco) ... pretty good cuban (very good mojito's)
That should get you started. Stick to the mom and pop places ... you'll find some good stuff. For real Mexican (like we're used to) - basically forget it! I haven't yet found good fish tacos or a good carne asada around here ....
Good luck!
re: miami2boston
For the best food in Jacksonville, non-chain, just three words:
Beach Road Chicken
Southern cooking and hospitality....
My favorite Thai place just closed - Old Siam at the beaches (Pom why did you leave us????). I would love to hear when you find a great place for Thai. PK Noodles on beach is good pho.
I second French Pantry - hidden inside a warehouse and Bamboo Creek. Worth going to Blue Bamboo a little further north on Southside Boulevard.
New good stuff at the beach include Taco Lu's - fun, cheap tacos, loud and Fish Market for the hot and spicy shrimp (shells on boiled) with fresh rolls!
Keep us posted with you findings!
re: meginAB
Had a very nice lunch at Bistro Aix in San Marco. The calamari app was enough for 4, really and the sauce was super garlicky. Sandwiches were big and tasty. Best dish was the proscuitto and goat chees salad. I loved the big crispy piece of proscuitto for a garnish.
Didn't like: I think they put the bread in the microwave! What's up with that?
Wait staff is a little pushy about selling extras.
For sure, they put the brownie in the microwave. Who wants to eat a scalding hot, albeit delicious when it cooled, brownie?
My advice--forget the microwave--you have good food!
I have lived on the Southside of Jacksonville for 22 years, coming originally from NYC/Manhattan. I REALLY miss the authentic ethnic foods there and have honestly found nothing comparable in Jacksonville. To get a memorable meal, you generally have to go with either fine dining like Matthew's, or stick to seafood at the beaches or real southern or Florida Cracker food that is well prepared. An exception is Bamboo Creek, which has been mentioned for dim sum.
One place I love is actually just south of St. Augustine Beach, Saltwater Cowboy's. It's about a 40 min. drive and a little hard to find, but well worth the trip....as well as the long wait for a table the night we went. They have been in business 35 yrs., with the current owners there for over 20 yrs. It features authentic Florida Cracker food (gator tail, frog legs, soft shell turtle), as well as ribs, seafood, and chicken, prepared very well and in a wonderful atmosphere over salt marshes. Heres a link:
Note: I have no vested interest in this place--just a happy diner. Prices are moderate.
I am originally from Sa,Texas and grew up my younger years in Louissiana and just moved from Ft Lauderdale where I lived the last 8 years.Thats just a back ground of my taste buds.There is a true Mexican restaurant called Tapatio on Old Bay Meadows Rd and it doubles as a grocery store.They have great corn tortilla tacos overstuffed with meats like lengua(cow tongue)cabezza(brain)carnitas,chorizo,carne asada,sprinkled with lots of cilantro and tiny diced onions.Not California or Texas style but true SE Mexican food.Also try there Fajitas that has ribs,shrimp,steak,pork, sprinkled with chorizo and tomatoes.This is a great dish and is the most expensive thing on the menu and its only 12.99 inluding real mexican rice and beans and small guac.I say real Mexican rice because most of the terrible Mex places around serve yellow rice from the bag.(immatation saffron rice).My advice if you walk into a Mexican restaurant and see this yellow rice on peoples plate you should consider yourself lucky that you saw it and walk right out.My second recommendation is JJs Bisto de Paris 7643 Gate Parkway Suite 105.This place is amazing and reminds me why french food is the cradle of the gourmet scene.There Bouillabaise (spelling?) with tommatoe fume was the best Ive had and the Pate was super fresh.Of note I was brought 2 style and both where exceptional.No French Bistro would be complete without a great desert menu.I might be wrong but I believe there was over 50 on the menu.Last time I was there I had the poached pair with rasberry torte and it was crazy good.As far as Asian food in these parts its been pretty lack luster and I keep trying different places.I guess there is a reason PF Changs has a 2 hr wait.
re: mmtrinh1223
They've moved to Baymeadows Road. In between I95 and Philips Highway. I think it's the old Bennigan's location.
re: Sunshine17
would you know the exact address?
So we came across another Vietnamese restaurant that is even BETTER than Saigon Bistro and Saigon Time. This one is called P.K. (Pho King) Noodles. Its on Beach BLVD, next to the community college.
I give this place a 4 out of 5 stars and heres why:
1. They gave plenty of meat and noodles
2. If you have a tongue that can taste different spices then you can definitely taste the beef, cinnamon, ginger, and onions (which are the main ingredients).
3. Cheap ($6.75 I believe)
4. Ice coffee was delicious
5. If your into Vietnamese deserts, they have some good selections (its mostly tapioca, milk, coconut, fruit, jello and sometimes red beans- I personally don't like it but my husband loves this stuff).
6. They had Paris by Night on, now that's serious! =0) (Just Google Paris by Night).
1. The bowls weren't big enough
2. My husband wanted fresh sugarcane drink, but they only had it in the can.
3. Not enough veggies (bean sprouts, basil, mint, etc.)
4. Their brisket was done WAY well done. They need to tone it down.
Both my husband and I ordered the Pho with all the meats in it =0) They have a wide range of other Vietnamese dishes and we will come back to try them all. =0)
re: mmtrinh1223
Pho King is on my list of places to visit along with the famous FU KING restaurant in Lake City!
Jacksonville has some pretty horrible restaurants, but the good hole in the walls come and go, except for the Bar-B-Q places which stick around. (I like Pig Bar-B-Q on Normandy Blvd. or on Lem Turner Rd. and Johnson's Pit Bar-B-Q on Brentwood, off of Golfair.) There used to be far more Vietnamese restaurants, but they have dwindled over the years. For awhile there were two on Cassatt Ave. near I-10.
I like Singleton's Seaffod Shack and Mayport and would recommend the fish of the day lunch special. Always fresh and a good deal.
Hung Thinh supermarket on Normandy Blvd. at Lane Ave. has a dynamith Banh Mi sandwich, in my opinion at least. (My mum isn't Vietnamese!)
For greasy breakfasts: the Fox in Avondale, Dave's Diner in Murray Hill and June's Diner in Marrietta.
re: monsieurbigstuff
We moved down from Atlanta and have also had a tough time finding places we like to eat.
The BEST we've found are:
French Pantry: Oh so yummy. This place is only open for lunch on weekdays but well worth going out of your way. Their bread is served at many other restaurants in town (1171, Pastiche). Their cheesecake is what I dream of when I dream of cheesecake: light and velvety, not weighed down by too much cream cheese, sweet but not cloying, and bound by a buttery graham cracker crust. I cannot overemphasize how good this place is. Their ambience is horrible (basically a warehouse off University) but the food more than makes up for it.
Lemongrass Thai - Cool interior from former cooks at Pom's Thai. Best Thai that we have found in the city.
Metro Diner - Good, greasy diner food. Love the Challah on the Square.
Pepe's Hacienda - Mexican restaurant attached to a Mexican grocery. It's not the best Mexican I've ever had but the best I've had in Jacksonville. They use good fresh ingredients. Leans more towards true Mexican food than Tex-Mex.
Matthews - Upscale restaurant but the only upscale restaurant that is really worth the expense in this city. Recently, they've been putting coupons in the weekly mailer for $20 off a $100 dinner, which we recently used.
Heirlooms Cafe: We have only been here once so I can't say definitively that it's the best in the city but we had a darn good brunch here. Novel usage of fresh ingredients.
Mojos Barbeque: Good barbeque. Good sides.
Mossfire Grill: I think Mossfire Grill is probably somewhere in between the mediocre and the best restaurants, actually, but, to give it the benefit of the doubt, I'll place it in best. Reasonable nouveau Tex-Mex.
The MEDIOCRE we've found are:
Bistro Aix: We don't really understand the hype. The food is good but not great and tends to be fairly greasy. But, it's better than most in the city.
BBs: Salads and desserts are very good. Pizzas and entrees are pretty good but not great. We go there only for salad and dessert (hey, we have to balance out the healthy with the unhealthy).
Basil's Thai: This place can be hit or miss. We've had good meals here and we've also had really lousy meals here. I think the trick is to stick with curries and noodle dishes here because their other food isn't that good.
BAD restaurants in the city (so so many):
La Nopalera: We tried this place twice because it was so near our house but found the food to be disgusting. Much prefer Pepe's.
1171: I have no idea why this place gets accolades. Boring, unseasoned food. And way too expensive.
Row Restaurant: Same as 1171. Cute house but bad food.
Biscottis: I know that BBs and Biscottis have the same owners but we've found BBs to have generally much better food.
River City Brewing: Bleh. But great views if you go there for drinks.
Any Indian restaurant: Indian food in this city is just bland, mediocre, and Americanized.
Middle Eastern restaurants: We've been to Layla's in San Marco and Casbah. Both were lousy. Hala looks promising since they make fresh pita, so we will try there next. Zaitoon at the beach is supposed to be good but we haven't tried it.
Taste of Thai: Not good.
Italian/Pizza: We've been to La Cena and found the food to be overpriced and uninspiring. A pasta restaurant in Riverside (can't remember the name) was reasonable but service was horrendous. We aren't big fans of Pizza Palace or Vito's pizza. The best we've had is Picasso's Pizza (right next to the Whole Foods). But, we want to try Moon River which is supposed to be really good.
Sushi: We've been to several and have been unimpressed. We've tried Sake House, Sushi Rock Cafe, and Sushi Cafe and found all three to be pretty lousy; Sake House was the best of the worst though.
I'm excited to hear that there is a reasonable Vietnamese restaurant out at the beach! We've been avoiding trying the Vietnamese places here because bad Vietnamese tends to be really bad.
re: trappedartist
You know, even though the restaurants here aren't great, the produce and meat tends to be fantastic so we end up cooking in a lot. We especially love Seafood Gourmet (the best seafood my husband says he has ever eaten) and the Jacksonville Farmer's Market. If you haven't tried those, check them out. I have lots of thoughts on where to buy produce/meat in JAX, so let me know if you want more thoughts.
re: trappedartist
If you want REALLY good Middle Eastern or Lebanese food- go to Karam's at 4241 University Boulevard in Jacksonville Florida (904) 636-9595 just south of Memorial hospital on same side- all of their food is terrific, especially the Schwarma- I get the platter with 3 sides (our favorites are french fries, cous cous and cucumber yogurt salad- with two extra pitas my 12 yo daughter and 9 yo old son and I are STUFFED!
Welcome, recently moved to Tampa after living in Jax for just under 3 years.
Jax is a tough town for food snobs. Most restaurants are fair at best, the few gems stand out a little better because of that though.
Thai - Several good places around Thai room (Jax Beach) is good and reasonably priced. My favorite is Palms Thai Bistro in San Marco, the menu is somewhat more limited (and slightlly more expensive) but a few standout menu items make the place. Best Pad Thai in town.
Mexican - You won't find any decent mexican in Jax. What you wll find is a nice selection of great taco joints. Tiajuana flats is a small chain that we visited often but there are a bunch of others worth visiting.
Fine dining.
North Beach Bistro is a newer restaurant at the beach that quickly became our favorite. Decent prices for what you get, beautiful atmosphere and amazing food. Tuna Martini and Proscuito Rissotto croquettes are must haes.
Dwight's Bistro - cozy open kitchen bistro with an eclectic menu. Great homemade raviolis and fish/meat dishes.
Chew - downtown, another great bistro, busiests at lunch but the menu works for dinner as well.
Japanese - There are a ton of sushi restaurants and some are pretty tasty.
BBQ - you can't find good BBQ in Jax unless somebody is making it in their backyard. Honestly anyone who thinks the local chains are good hasn't been someplace that has REAL Q. (Kansas City or Texas)
re: ploftus
"BBQ - you can't find good BBQ in Jax unless somebody is making it in their backyard. Honestly anyone who thinks the local chains are good hasn't been someplace that has REAL Q. (Kansas City or Texas)"
Honestly, anyone who thinks the only REAL Q comes out of Kansas City or Texas needs to expand his or her horizons a bit. Memphis, NC and SC (et. al.) all have unique styles of BBQ that are incredible when done right. Also, the NC and SC styles have migrated down to GA and FL, and you can find some excellent places in both states. Here in JAX, Mojo's (three locations, I think) does an excellent NC Style Q, along with dabbling in some other regional variations as well. There are a lot of other places in town that also do a really good job. That said, Sonny's and Woody's, two of the larger chains, are, in my opinion, purveyors of cooked meat, not BBQ.
re: RHT in JAX
You all should try a new place that opened in April on the Westside. It's called Gators BBQ just off of Beaver Street and Cahoon. tiny place that I recommend you try the first time during the "off hours" the line is out the door every day at lunch and dinner the BBQ is so good! They have the best beef brisket in Jax, even a few Texans approve of it.
For Korean, I would recommend going to Koja: It serves sushi but is owned by Koreans and if you know what you are looking for, you can get a few favorite Korean dishes. I find their bibimbap & dolset exact to what you would get in Korea. If you look on the sushi menu you will also find Kimbap, which is bang-on. I have order pulgogi before but had to ask for the lettuce to wrap it with and the samjang.
For Mexican, I frequent TacoLu at the beach. The fresh tacos are addictive and have interesting fillings to choose from like Ahi tuna or brisket. YUM.
Jacksonville, FL, Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville, FL, Jacksonville, FL
A little background, born and raised in NY, living in Jax for 8 years now. Best NY style pizza is Rennas at St. Johns Town Center, hands down. A good place for breakfast is Beach Diner (they have one in Ponte Vedra and one in Antlantic Beach), try the Ultimate. Nice dinner spot is Aqua Grill in Ponte Vedra. Good spot for a beer and some Guinness wings is Fiann McCools in Jax Beach.
Yes, bigger cities have better restaurants than Jacksonville, but there are plenty of good restaurants in this city. The only thing that makes it hard is that the city is so big and spread out, and there isnt one area that has better restaurants than another area of town. If you enjoy the search for that good meal as much as the good meal, then Jacksonville will satisfy your foodie needs. Also, don't forget about St. Augustine, there are some really good spots down there. try Acapulco right across from the fort for Mexican and a beautiful view if you can get a table on the deck upstairs.
re: meganandy
Its not close, they were refurbishing. Just ate there yesterday
Hi----there is some hope here in Jax. I lived in NYC for 15 years and was spoiled. PK Noodles on Beach Blvd has solid Pho and other simple Vietnamese. There is a new VERY authentic Fujian Chinese restaurant on the corner of Old St. Augustine Rd and Hood called Fu Xing. Excellent Offal and Seafood.
There is some decent Sushi at the corner of University and San Jose in the Winn Dixie Plaza there. Sit at the Sushi bar and introduce yourself to Min. Ask what he has special. He also does some interesting hot dishes that are not on the menu.
There is no good Korean in town and the Thai is hit or miss. There are a couple of good options for Indian. The buffet at the 5th Element on Baymeadows RD is copious and varied and there is a place specializing in South Indian just in the next plaza up the road. Miyami?
There are some other little ethnic gems...Colombian and Brazilian Bakeries, a little Honduran place on Old Kings Road and more.
Moved here from North Jersey for work a couple of years back. Frequent the NYC/Chi areas for ethnic food. Here are the places I go to. Nothing spectacular, but gives me the basic essentials I need while living here in Jacksonville.
El Rinconcito (colombian)
Pho King (vietnamese as mentioned)
Piscos (peruvian)
Tommy's Brickoven Pizza (best pie in town)
Mi Pueblo (they make cemitas and tacos al pastor inside this little mexican grocery)
Madrid (run by venezuelans but they make a lot of cuban items here)
Rico Mex (you can get honduran baleadas here)
Flavors (Indian buffet)
Sammy's Italian Deli (sell olives, deli meats, Italian imports, and make lunch sandwiches...get the Tony's Special)
Apna Bazaar (Indian grocer)
Dae Ho (Korean grocer)
Bamboo Creek (Dim Sum location moved to Baymeadows)
Las Antillas (Puerto Rican)
Brazil Grill (on beach blvd...great brazilian buffet, but only open for lunch M-S).
Jax Oriental Market (chinese market)
Antojitos Colombianos Panaderia (Colombian bakery)
Hope that helps. These are pretty much the only places I go to. Nothing spectacular, but it keeps me satisfied until I can get out to a city.

MSP - Busters review - best burger
Snow/slushy night - a burger and a beer. Had the 1/2 pound Buster Burger with pickle aioli and fries, other party had the Bison burger with Widmer Cheddar. Overall excellent burgers - maybe in the top one or two places in the whole Twin Cities in my view. Fries done well, if a bit salty. The beer selection amazing. Was allowed to try a small taste of one of the taps gratis - always a nice touch. Place was loud - party next to us especially. Good staff, would rec. and go again. About $15-20 per son with beers. Would like your thoughts.

4204 28th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55406
Yes, Busters burgers are great, I also rate them at the top of the tcs best. Try the beer from Cooperstown, NY on tap it is a hall of fame beer
I love Busters. I was there on Saturday night for a couple brews and some of their always great potato chips. I find their burgers to be a little uneven, usually due to the seasoning. Still, this place is a gem and I would be there multiple times a week if I lived closer.
I'll third the replies. Buster's on 28th has one of the best burgers (if not the best) in MSP. Add to that their beer selection, along with the knowledgeable and friendly bartenders, and you have a winning combination. On the odd nights there that I'm not feeling like a burger, I've had some of their salads, which are also excellent. Buster's should be a model for how to run a successful neighborhood bar. They obviously don't skimp on ingredients or on talent. Why can't more places be like Busters?
re: BigSal
Agreed about the bun. It's a shame too, since they get it from the bakery next door (A Baker's Wife), which does PHENOMENAL work with pretty much everything else they do.
Seriously, they make the best plain cake donut I've ever had in my life.
I generally like Busters but wish it were bigger. I've rarely been there when it wasn't busy/crowded and I don't even go at peak times. That says something for how good the food and beer selection are, but if you don't like the crowd and the noise then there are other quality joints in the vicinity.
re: GutGrease
Just went last night after unexpectedly arriving at closed restaurant on Superbowl Sunday. Packed on a Tuesday night. Yeesh.
The beer selection is broad and surprisingly affordable. Friend and I split the bison burger, the scallop beef carpaccio app, and some chips with special cream cheese.
The bison burger was solid. Bison is a very lean meat, and can be quite dry. This was juicy and robust. My friend explained that they add a bit of chorizo to the mix. An inspired choice if so. The fries are the earthy, skin on type, and I liked them quite a bit.
The bun was unmemorable, and kinda disintegrated under all the shmutz they put on the burger. I had to eat it with a knife and fork, which is a sign the bun wasn't up to snuff.
The scallops were solid, but unspectacular. I think the dish needs more of the carpaccio. This restaurant is bonkers for crushed pepper, and it overwhelmed the scallops a bit without enough beef to absorb it. The scallops themselves seemed to be of a high quality.
The chips are enough to feed a family. Love the addition of pepper. It brings out the salty taste (which might explain why some have felt the food is too salty).
The place strikes me as a cross between the Happy Gnome and Blue Door. The food's a bit more versatile than the former, and the beer list is more extravagant than the latter. It splits the difference in terms of ease of finding a table.
re: kevin47
I love that last paragraph...perfect description.
For me, the entree side of things has always been uneven. My normal night there is splitting a basket of fries or chips and hoisting a few pints. For that purpose, I love the place.
I feel like Buster's has a near-monopoly on "Best in the TC's" awards with regard to bar food - Best Burgers (easily), Best Onion Rings (easily), Best Wings (arguably). The Buffalo wings aren't your standard, blazing orange variety that you'd find somewhere like the Groveland Tap or Sweeney's. They're much meatier and more tender.
But those burgers are the reason you have to wait for a table every night. They seem to be one of the few places in town that knows how to consistently cook a patty medium rare.
Even when I have to wait for a table, I enjoy the cozy atmosphere inside. I know at one point they were thinking about expanding into the adjacent space, but imo it would have taken something away from the experience. Sometimes its fun to sit at the bar and marvel at how they can prepare all that great food in the postage stamp kitchen behind the bar.
re: keithinmpls
I would rate the burger behind the Blue Door, V-44, Vincent and TSC, but it belongs in that category.
re: kevin47
I would put it behind those as well as The Nook & Ike's. If the buns were better @ Busters...perhaps it could move up.
re: gancia24
Went again - busy for a Thursday. Two comments - the place filled with smoke from the grill. Scary considering what happened to the restaurants on 50th. I think the city inspector should review the vent system - or lack of. Second, the burger was ordered medium rare and came raw in the middle - fluke?

re: PhilESL
If you order a burger medium rare, it's going to be pretty raw in the middle. So you got what you ordered.
As a chef I hate it when people don't know what rare, medium rare, medium, etc means. I have had steaks sent back numerous times because they order it medium and they are mad cause it still is pink in the middle. You order medium rare it is gonna be close to rare and cool in the middle.
But I have had great burgers at Busters and their beer selection is always top notch and fun.
re: jaysin612
Sorry J, but medium rare is NOT cool in the middle, it is warm in the middle. Rare is cool in the middle
re: jfood
jfood is right, and this is important when it comes to burger. You are taking a risk with a burger that is cool in the middle (not so with a steak, FYI). If they get it wrong, and you're worried about it, send it back. That said, burger can still be pink, and the bacteria will be pretty darn dead.
About the smoke, unless you have expertise in the area of fire safety, I would hesitate to come to conclusions. It is a rare event that a restaurant burns down. If the smoke itself is a problem, talk to a manager.
re: jfood
All this ambiguity in language is the problem with the whole system. We should order steaks and burgers by temperature. It would be great if I could just order it cooked to an internal temperature of 125, then there is no question whether or not it is cooked to order, my definition of medium may be different than yours, but an empirical scale doesn't allow for error.
re: diearzte2
that would be great. Jfood has noticed that lots of steak houses are going to the "warm pink" "warm red" inside to avoid this ambiguity.
One time jfood ordered a med rare and it arrived overcooked. When he told the server, server went and checked with the kitchen and came back and said. The kitchen said it was cooked to 150 degrees which is med rare. Jfood asked for the check.
Went to Busters (seems like a weekly visit recently) and had another burger. Perfectly medium, with a great char yet red/pink center. Unfortunately, the bun didn't hold up. The bun is the only thing keeping this from being my favorite burger in town.
jfood returned to Buster's tonight. First he set his garmin to the wrong 28th ave (you guys gotta come up with more street names) but once he got there it was great.
he was so hungry he ordered some scallops for his appetizer. as he sat there eating them he reminded himself he was in a bar. what was he thinking. please pass on the scallops and go straight to the main event.
a bacon cheeseburger plus rings were order. The burger arrived and it was cooked to perfection, jfood favorite med-rare. the bacon was fantastic the cheese added a great balance and te grilled onions were better than last time. the rings were actually cooked this time but the breading held so much oil jfood ate two and decided that he was not man enough to eat all of them.
so jfood still thinks this is the best burger in MSP and he is glad he fought traffic in many wrong directions to get there.
I found that the onion rings looked much better than they tasted. Burger ordered medium came out med rare the way I prefer. I disagree with the neg. bun comments. For me the bun adds a lot, but to each our own. Ps: avoid prime times if you don't want to wait. As Yogi said, "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded".

One thing that you shouldn't do is post angry right after a loss. Yep the team looks like absolute shit right now but we all knew this part of the schedule was coming. Gets much easier from now on.
Let's see what happens over the next few games. Definitely need to score some goals, and if they don't win a round or two this post-season then major changes will be needed.

3. Survey your inner landscape.
Whatever else I changed in my life -- a new neighborhood, a bigger house, even a different marriage -- there was always one constant: me. Once or twice, I made a big change, like getting a new job or ending a relationship, only to discover that the frustrations in my life hadn't evaporated. What really needed tailoring was me: my attitudes, my thinking, my capacity to feel satisfied. A change can widen your horizons and get you excited about life again. Sometimes, though, the improvement should be internal.
4. Stay in the driver's seat.
Remember that you're in control of your life. In my first marriage, I didn't feel very sexy or polished. The minute the divorce was final, I decided to transform myself into who I really wanted to be. But the divorce wasn't responsible for my sudden makeover. I did that all by myself. So I could have done it while I was married, too.
5. Talk about the good and the bad.
Arguments with my husband used to scare me. If we were so in love, how could we disagree so passionately? But over the years, I've had arguments that have dramatically boosted the level of intimacy between my mate and me. Sometimes understanding comes quietly during a sweet moment. Other times it strikes like a bolt of lightning, when he suddenly yells what he's been afraid to say, and I finally know what's bothering him.
6. Be your own spin doctor.
When I bring up past wrongs, I still think they need to be righted. A man just thinks he's being raked over the coals again. Before bringing up old business, I try to use a positive approach: "Remember when we talked before about spending less money? Have you thought any more about that? I'd like to hear what you think." That usually works better than a surprise attack.

Amber's POV
I was dancing around my room listening to 'Up All Night' by One Direction, yeah, yeah, I know One Direction. But their songs are really catchy and let's face it, they are really hot and don't even get me started on their accents.
I looked out my window and saw Hunter at his window looking at me and laughing. I turned around the other way.
Great, he saw me.
Not that it mattered, it's not like we talk anymore. But I still can't help but blush which makes it more embarrassing for me.
I turned back to face Hunter and saw him looking down at something, kind of like he was writing. He held up piece of paper saying 'I like your moves' I laughed and rolled my eyes.
I found a piece of paper and wrote "thanks", he smiled and started writing again.
He held up the paper again which said 'We don't talk much anymore' whilst pouting.
I sighed and started to write again. 'That's your choice'
He started to write again. 'I know, are you coming tomorrow?"
'Maybe' I wrote. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go, I mean what if Julia was there? We don't technically get along. I actually have no idea why though, it's not like I did anything to her, or did I? I wasn't sure.
'I hope so" He wrote back which made me blush even more. He hopes so? Why would he hope so?
I smiled at him and walked my window and closed the curtin so that I could get ready to sleep, with out him watching.
I woke up the next morning to my alarm clock playing 'Shake it out' by Florence and the machine.
"Ugh" I groaned. Today was the barbeque and I still hadn't told my parents. I stumble down the stairs craving coffee when the strong scent hit me.
"Mm" I moaned. I'm more or less a coffee addict.
"Morning Amber." My mum greeted.
"Morning Amber." My dad greeted, as well.
"Morning Mum, Moring Dad," I greeted back "Coffee?" I asked.
"In the machine" My mum replied.
"Thanks." I poured myself a cappuccino with two sugars just the way I liked it and sat down at the counter in my kitchen whilst letting the warm liquid flow down my throat leaving a tingling sensation. "Yum," I said. "Oh by the way, Hunter came over last night when you were out-"
"Hunter came over?" My mum sounded surprised.
"I'm just as surprised as you are mum, but yeah he did, with Jesse, and they invited us to a barbeque today at 2pm." I said taking a sip from my mug.
"He hasn't been here in years." My dad said sipping his coffee.
"His doing, not mine." I said back coldly.
"I guess, so do you want to go?" My mum asked.
"Maybe, I want to see Jai." I replied.
"Okay, well we've got some shopping to do so we should be back before two, okay?" My mum told me.
"Yeah okay, I'll see you then." I answered.
"Bye, Amber" My parents said as they closed the door.
Hmm, I'm home alone for 4 hours what to do, what to do? Dance party! I ran upstairs and grabbed my iPod and the dock for it and plugged it in. I turned it up as loud as it would go and started to get dressed while dancing.
In truth I fell about five times whilst trying to get dressed and dance at the same time. I came back down stairs and continued to dancing.
I turned around to face the door as I felt a presence in the room and saw of all people leaning against the door frame smiling his gorgeous smile was indeed, Hunter Evans. His hair was messy but perfect, his eyes brown and hypnotizing. How did he get in here? No idea.
"Why are you here Hunter?" I asked a bit too harshly. But then again, he is the one who chose that bloody Barbie doll Julia over his best friend. So he pretty much brought it on himself.
"I saw your folks leave and I thought you might want some company." He shrugged, with again that gorgeous smile. Damn it Amber Moore, focus!

"What's it gonna be -- pleasure or action?" wails Stephonik X of Aqui on "Roll," a song from the group's welt-raising debut, The First Trip Out. The Brooklyn outfit is a maelstrom of noise and electricity, a metal-inflicted mutation of art, punk and rock just as likely to make eyeballs roll back in ecstasy as it is to gouge them out. At first glance, X and her cohorts are flirting with the avant-cartoon aesthetic of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs; at the same time, they aren't afraid to dive headfirst into the vicious calculus of Tomahawk and Rush, dicing intricate riffs with grinding textures that turn bowels to sludge and synapses into firecrackers. Pleasure versus action? Given Aqui's rapturous, hyperkinetic charge, that's not an either/or scenario

Back To The Future is probably the best time travel comedy of all time, even with stiff competition from Bill And Ted, and now, thanks to the animators at 1A4 Studios you can watch the entire film condensed into a minutes worth of humorous animation, with what I have to say is some fairly off color dialogue. Oddly that just seems to make it even better….or maybe it's just me.
I'll let you watch it and decide:

NBC (9-11 p.m. ET)
Blazing Saddles is more raucous, but this 1974 spoof of those old black-and-white Karloff horrors is Mel Brooks' funniest film. Gene Wilder's crazed doctor, Peter Boyle's crazed monster and Madeline Kahn's crazed singer-lover are hilarious, but bug-eyed Marty Feldman's hunchback steals the show.

With newegg... is there a way I can build a computer and have it come assembled? I would never be able to assemble a bunch of hardware parts on my own
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2009
Newegg does not assemble the parts...you would have to do that. Other computer places will however..I just don't have much experience with them.
Do you have any experiencing adding RAM or hard drives to a computer? If so, you might be surprised how easy it really is to assemble your own machine. Most things only plug in 1 way.
Here are a few websites with some tutorials if you are at all interested

I dont think newegg builds but you could have a local computer store build it for you. just be careful abt warranty and part choice. Its not as hard as you might think but maybe you want to read abt building one for a few days before you make your decision
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2009
Yeah, the hardest part is really making sure that you are buying parts that are compatible with each other. The actually assembly is not very difficult at all (i know that sounds crazy...but it's true).
With this forum, we can certainly help you to ensure that you get the correct parts. Do you have any friends that are good with computers.....if we could get you into the right parts...maybe your buddy could help you with any questions you have during assembly.

Longer answer - Why would you want them to have all the fun. A LARGE part of the fun of doing a self-build is to actually get all the boxes (of the parts) in room and slowly build that monster computer from scratch.
As has already been said, if you do the research to make sure you get decent/good parts, don't skimp on the power supply, case, or the MBO, the rest is easy. Read the MBO manual so you know where all the jumpers and headers are. Then start putting it together.
Short course, some steps not included
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2009
I'm currently aiming at :-
Budget = up to £500 ($800 USD) but any saving on this would be good!
(No need to include monitor, keyboard, mouse in that)
Room to add extra HDD's, RAM, graphics card in the future if necessary, so I guess choice of case, PSU, motherboard and CPU needs to take this into account and be suitable to last 3yrs+ until the next likely PC replacement.
Naturally reliability/quality of components is important - ? maybe overclocking would be a step too far.
Would like to be able to play the latest games on higher graphics settings.
I'm not sure of the advantages/need of choosing the option of 2x graphics cards (SLI?) as opposed to one big one.
No need for wireless, just ethernet will be fine.
Connectivity available via USB, firewire and eSata would be good to have.
Also, is there any difficulty in working out the cooling requirements?
Being in the UK I'd probably be buying parts from ebuyer.com or scan.co.uk
I don't expect to be given a full list of parts to go out and buy, just really need to be pointed in the right direction and highlight any important things to consider that are easily overlooked.
Any advice appreciated.
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2009
Given that budget and the fact that you want to game on it...I'd say to get a video card in the $150-$200 range.
In the case area, I am very impressed with my Antec caes. Cooling is great and the fans are very quiet and the cases very easy to work on. The Antec 300 is very popular...although it's a tight squeeze with the latest gen video cards. The Antec 900 series is extremely popular. I personally have a P182 and have been thrilled with it.
I'm also a big fan of the Corsair modular power supplies. The 520 or the 620 is extremely popular and the fact that it's modular keeps the wiring to a minimum inside of the case which helps to promote airflow.
Without overclocking, I generally don't find a need to be really concerned with cooling or airflow. As long as the case is decent, the stock retail coolers and stock case fans will get the job done.
As far as mobo goes, stick with Asus, Gigabyte, DFI or MSI (in my opinion). All of these will provide USB in the back and USB headers for the extra USB ports in the case. Plus, it's pretty common these days to have 1 or 2 firewire ports and a header for firewire hookups in the front of the cast. eSATA is also becoming more popular. My board has an eSATA card that you put into an empty slot in the back and it connects to some of the SATA controllers on the mobo. So, I think the mobo should provide you will all the connectivity needs that you will have.
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2009
Thanks pparks1 for giving those recommendations of decent brands for case, PSU, mobo - gives me something to go on.
Am I right in thinking that the most important decisions to be made first of all are getting the right case, PSU, mobo, CPU as everything else is easier to upgrade in future?
Specifically, any thoughts on mobo/CPU combos?
e.g. would I quickly regret saving money by going for AMD AM2, or is it a much more sensible choice to get AMD AM3 depite the extra cost, then of course there's the Intel choices which seem even more confusing - dual core, quad core, i7 ??
Then there's the question of RAM - i'd probably opt for 4GB initially making sure there's room to maybe double that in future as necessary - but i'd have to decide either DDR2 or DDR3 at the beginning??
Sorry for all the questions but the more I look into it, the more complex it gets!
|My System Specs
|20 Jul 2009
Personally, I'm a believer that Intel is providing the best bang for the buck right now...so if I were buying it'd be a Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad or Core i7. The Core i7 decision comes down to budget...pure and simple. The chip, the mobo and the DDR3 ram are a little more expensive....so if you are firm on your $800 budget...you might want to go with a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad to keep the price down a bit. I just built on a Core 2 Quad (Q9550) and it's a beast of a machine in my opinion. Of course, the big issue here is that with the Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad..you would be using an older LGA 775 mobo and those are the last generation and you won't have that many future upgrade options. Of course, I don't forsee a need to replace a CPU like a Q9550 in the next 3 years given how powerful of a CPU it is.
4GB of RAM is a great place to start. Most decent mobos will have 4 RAM slots, so you will only likely be using 2 sticks to start and can just add 2 more down the road.
Don't worry about the questions...that's the reason that I check this place so often.

Gunners draw Udinese
Arsenal have been handed a Champions League play-off draw against Italian side Udinese.
Arsene Wenger's men collapsed at the end of the last Barclays Premier League season to finish fourth and so face a qualifying tie to secure safe passage to the lucrative group stages for a 14th season.
The Gunners were seeded for Friday's draw in Nyon, and will face a two-legged fixture over August 16/17 and 23/24, which is sandwiched between some tough Barclays Premier League games against Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester United.

We thoroughly enjoyed the production of Pins and Needles. The venue is a small theatre with about 50 or 60 seats. The actors are polished and the night was enjoyable. If you enjoy small plays this is a good one.

STR Overview
A short tandem repeat (STR) is a type of DNA polymorphism where short sequences of DNA are repeated. STRs are usually considered "junk DNA" because they are introns and do not code for protein. The number of times a DNA sequence is repeated for a given STR is variable between different individuals and thus, STRs are often useful for forensic or genealogical studies.
Y-DNA STRs
The STRs found in the Y-DNA are very useful for genealogical studies to examine male lineage. A male individual's Y-DNA STR is unique to his paternal line and can be determined through Y-DNA STR Testing. That means that all males who are descendents from the same male lineage will have exactly the same or a very similar Y-DNA STR pattern.
