Kooper's Jacksonville

Awesome crab cakes. We found this gem after visiting the sunflowers. I was not expecting anything fancy, but they have a great patio and a grass area for dogs. They also brought out a bowl with ice water for my puppy. The food was amazing. Would suggest this place for all of my friends that have dogs and want to go out to dinner

Rude hostess, didn't say one word on our way in and just throws menus on table. Rude waitress named Svetlana. Asked about Crabby Wednesday, which was on the window. She goes into a thing about how no specials during covid, that they are false advertising, and more. Her speech was uncomfortable. Just say, sorry no specials. We just asked what it was, not that we needed to get it. Just acted as if we were a problem the whole time. Every soda I got was terrible. When I asked for a new one she was upset. I mean I'm eating at a restaurant and getting a $14 burger. Then, I am drinking bar soda that was watered down. Like why even advertise soda. Just say soda water from the bar. The burgers were good, but the amount of flies outside were terrible. As you are eating, you have to constantly swat flies. Flies landing on your food. Just makes for a terrible experience. Never again!

Have been going to Kooper's for many years and got a rude awakening today. Burger was still good, but service was horrible - waitress, aka bartender, was snarky to my husband. Her rudeness, and lack of good service, will keep us from going back. Trying to support a local business, but it wasn't worth it. We had considered leaving shortly after arriving and wished we had. Will find somewhere new to take our business. What a shame.
