My partner insisted that we have breakfast here because her grandparents used to take her. She swore the biscuits and sausage gravy were better than homemade. They were. I seriously looked around for my mom, certain she was in the kitchen. I had eggs and bacon also, and cheese grits. They were all done right, exactly what you would expect from a good country breakfast spot. Well done. The service, well...it was okay. Pretty much what i expected. I could have done without the waitress breaking a bottle of hot sauce next to me and leaving it through most of the meal, but they were quite busy. Coffee is really good!

Miss Robin was my server. Quick, polite, and very nice lady. I asked her what she recommended and she asked me, in my eyes, the most important question back. "How hungry are you?" Long story short ordered the wagon wheel. Eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, grits, pancakes. Sausage lacked real flavor, but bacon was delicious and everything else was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Total bill was $13, cheap in my eyes. A true mom and pop style restaurant. I will definitely be back.

We have been to this Famous Amos for breakfast a few times. The food is pretty good, basic diner fare...coffee is good and they are quick to refill your cup. The waitstaff is friendly and you kind of feel like you're eating at a relative's home. Lots of regulars come in and as one Yelper has already mentioned, the conversation flows from table to table. We've had good experiences here and will return in the future. The building is old and they have made improvements on the inside but it's still old... Seems clean it's just old looking.

I pass by this location pretty much every morning on my way home from work, and today I noticed the sign outside said "$4.99 breakfast special mon.-fri. 4a.m. to 9a.m." Sound suspicious? Of course it does...that's why I pulled into the parking lot. Commence Operation "Please Don't Burn My Cheap Breakfast." Atmosphere:............I'll use the word "elderly." I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions. I'll say this...when I was seated, I felt like the lone kid at the kids table. The decor? Pretty dark, they could use some brighter bulbs in there...place needs some spark and perhaps a little artwork from this century? Food: Ok, here's the scoop....The $4.99 breakfast special consists of: 2 eggs any style, 4 pieces of bacon or sausage, grits, and biscuit or toast. For $1.10 extra you can add home fries or hashbrowns. I ordered eggs with bacon, toast, and added hashbrowns. Yes, I like home fries better, but I've never been here before, so I didn't have that trust...you know the trust...that I won't be served half-cooked potatoes? That trust. Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm all with that "farm to table" thing, but it needs to be COOKED somewhere along the journey. The food came out in no time, and actually....it wasn't half bad! Bacon wasn't as crisp as I'd normally prefer...but it wasn't burnt shards of charcoal either sooooo...score? Eggs were good, hash browns nice and crisp...I declined the grits, though. WAIT WAIT before you start throwing rocks at me I can explain...I'm from Hawaii...grits are not served there. Back home, breakfast is served with rice...yes, even at McDonald's..."I'll have the Spam, eggs, and rice breakfast, please..." I don't know what grits are, or are supposed to taste like, therefore, I decline them. So put the rocks down, my southern Yeeps. People Watching: Ok real quick, there wassss the cat lady with the cat shirt who requested extra sausages to bring home to her "sweeties" And thennnnn the guy who wanted every component of his breakfast on separate plates...and ate them all one at a time... And finallyyyy the couple who I call the Cheers couple cuz everybody knows their names, what they eat, how they like it cooked, don't need a menu, here's your coffee, and "I just loooove what you've done with your haaaaaair!...." Yep...I'll give the go-ahead...It's worth the 5 bucks. Hell, I'd even pay 6! Consider this operation a success.

I have been a faithful customer to this particular Famous Amos since the early 80's. My youngest brother was a dishwasher there when he was a teen; my son in-law's grandmother was their cashier for years; we have had a lot of good times and shared wonderful family meals there for 30 years or more. We still take the whole family there for Sunday brunch once a month. So spouse and I leave Orange Park Mall, and say to one another: "Let's have lunch at Famous Amos since it is just the two of us." Wish we had just driven another block or so and had lunch at Zaxby's instead! We had absolutely the worst experience we ever have had there--not just poor quality food, but poor quality treatment by the wait staff. Lori was training Hannah and being wa-a-a-ay louder, more bawdy and over the top than she usually so that should have been our first clue that things were not going to go well. My husband ordered the gizzards. (Lori immediately turns to a table of six at the back of the restaurants and starts YELLING "Can I get a witness? Aren't these the best gizzards? Can I get a witness, huh?") Clue number two that a Saturday early afternoon is probably not the best time to visit this place. Finally the poor girl chewing a mouth full of food glances up, sees everyone in the restaurant staring at her, and sheepishly puts her thumb up, hunches over and looks back at her plate. How embarrassing for the patron, and how rude of the server to make such a spectacle of her. I decided on the chicken-fried chicken breast instead of the chicken-fried steak, and was thinking I would be getting the thick, creamy milk-based white gravy we are used to here in the South, so I asked for extra gravy on the side. Lori then put Hannah on the spot and asked her to repeat our order back to us which she couldn't do, so Lori proceeded to shout out our order at the top of her lungs for all the restaurant to hear...THEN went and turned the ticket into the cook. Again...poor judgment and managerial skills on Lori's part. Clue number three that things are not going well. Our food finally arrived, and although their breakfasts are exceptionally good, the cook on the lunch and early dinner rotation does not know what he is doing! The gizzards and the french fries were overdone, nearly burnt. I was absolutely flabbergasted to see my own plate come out with some really thick, greenish-yellow looking slime over my chicken and my rice in congealed clumps...as if someone had taken canned gravy and added too much cornstarch then let it cool. I asked Lori-the-Waitress what type of gravy came on the chicken-fried steak and she stated brown gravy. I asked what type of gravy came on the chicken-fried chicken breast and she said chicken gravy. When I told her I had ordered that same meal there before and it had been served with white gravy, she told me I must be thinking of the Country Cabin restaurant. That Famous Amos has NEVER served milk gravy in all the years she worked there. Arguing with the customers (who are always right): Clue four. Me: "Uh, no, ma'am...I've had this meal here before." Lori: "Well then you had it with chicken gravy." Me: "No, and I cannot eat this." Lori rolls her eyes and shouts, "Well what do you want then? I can get you anything you want! Why don't you just try it?" Again, all heads pivot...the entire restaurant is staring. I didn't want to gross out my fellow patrons by telling her to her face that to her it might look palatable, but to me it resembled (in consistency and color) the type of mucoid secretions you clean out of someone's tracheostomy tube...greenish-yellow snot and phlegm. I couldn't even look at what was on my plate! She sent Hannah to get us a to-go box and she went to ring up our check. While we waited, we stacked our dishes and cleaned up our place settings so we could check our iPhones and read a book until they returned. Lori came out, sneered when she saw what we were doing, threw our ticket on the table, snatched up the dishes and marched back to the kitchen where (still yelling at the top of her lungs) she apologized profusely to the kid doing the dishes for them not being stacked properly: "Seems I have a "helpful" customer out front who wants to be a "waitress". Phluck you, Lori, and the dump you work in. If YELP would allow you to post comments without making you choose a star, this pitifiul excuse for a homestyle restaurant would have received NONE. They do not deserve our loyalty or patronage. Country Cabin will now get our business and they have Lori to thank for that tip!

Went here with my boy who is from California & couldn't wait to have the burger here again. He was very happy with it again so that was great. The service was excellent. I found my new pecan waffle & unlike Waffle House, they have the strawberry topping with whip cream available. Open late & prices are great. Highly recommend! :)

Naw... I love good ole down home cookin' but this place just doesn't cut it My main objection is that the restaurant didn't appear clean and hygienic and the food was just like you'd get at a Denny's...and that is NOt a compliment!

I love this place it's got pretty good food. Not much to look at it but I love the place. It's not like Grumpys but its a step down so it is good (: if you want something well priced and good this is the place although I much prefer Grumpys.

this place is very nice, very friendly and inviting. The food is great, one of the reason why my husband and I like coming here is because it seems like a home cooked meal.

I grew up with Famous Amos Restaurants and had not been to one in YEARS. WOW, what a blast from the past! The one in O.P. is smaller than the one out at the beach, but the decor was the same and hasn't changed in 20 years. The service here was friendly and had the feel of sitting around the table at a friend or family members house. There were a lot of regulars there and the conversation flowed between the tables and the wait staff like it was just another morning. The menu is comprehensive and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner options. I had the toast and coffee. Can't mess toast up too much, but they sure keep the coffee coming!
