I always get the Loop Salad on Focaccia. Its amazingly filling and you don't feel like a lardo afterwards. There is something about the dressings that are really tasty!
If you are feeling particularly bold...the burger, onion rings and milkshakes are delicious!
The service is what you'd expect...not that great, but the food and value rocks, so what the hey.
The Loop is good if you like a decent burger and a serious milkshake. Staff was friendly and the restrooms were clean. They have pizza. They could almost pass for a American bistro. Only one of those damn TVs in the place, wish they would shut it off.
You order at the counter, pay, they page you with one of those light-up flashing gadgets, and you pick-up at the counter. We left something for the bus-guy (he was older then 10 bus-boys added together).
The San Marco area is attempting to be hip and boutique, but it ain't gonna happen. You're in J-ville for crying out loud.
This Jacksonville staple has evolved over the years quite nicely. I have not been disappointed with any of their burgers, pizzas, salads, onion rings or milkshakes.
What else is on the menu?
Unless either are on the extremes of the scale I rarely, if ever, mention service or price. First, let's talk about the food. I sincerely think that the only menu item that may be homemade are the potato chips. When it comes to everything else it seems as though they just open the box/container, heat/cook, and send. It must be stated that the quality of the pre-made, brought-in stuff was decent; but, brought in none the less.
The food alone is worth 2 stars.
That having been said, the staff was stellar! Everyone from the manager to the busser was highly conscientious and accommodating. BY virtue of that staff alone, The Loop gets 3 stars and my repeat business, even if the food is...pre-made at the factory.
Despite this being my 12th year in Jacksonville, tonight was my first time dining at The Loop. Shocking, I know. I had often heard talk of The Loop's delicious burgers, pizza, and milkshakes but had simply never had the opportunity or taken the initiative to go there. Anyway, I had a medium-cooked burger with Swiss cheese and dressings and steak fries. I was not disappointed; the burger was one of the best that I've tasted in a while, especially for so inexpensive a price. Definitely a $9.61 well spent.
I'm not in love with this place but when your movie at the San Marco doesn't start for another 2 hours, and you're thirsty from a stroll around the square or triangle as it may be, it's a good place to grab a nice cold New Castle. We knew we'd be having little gourmet pizzas in the theatre and didn't want to fill up, so we just drank. I have to admit succumbing to the blue cheese covered potato chips though. They sure are good with beer. Hiccup!!!
The Oreo milkshake is the shizzle fo rizzle...I just had one yesterday and came to write about it and lo and behold, I see a review about that very thing.
It's thick and delicious and all the things that milkshakes are supposed to be. I honestly think it's pretty hard to mess up a milkshake if you have milk, ice cream and a blender.
I've tried the sausage and goat pizza. My co-workers raved and hollered about how good it was so we got one. It was pretty good, but perhaps because it wasn't super "out the oven" fresh, I was not so impressed. I think I actually preferred the Mellow Mushroom. But I realize the Loop was not given an absolutely fair chance so I will have to try it again. Especially the bisque it seems.
They have several Jax locations, the newest is in the Bartram Park area.
You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table.
Mrs. H hit the nail on the head. The Loop is great! The Tomato Bisque is amazing. I love their burgers and onion rings too. Plus their milkshakes. Pretty much-I love everything on their menu. This is a quick service restaurant, meaning you order your food at the counter and they give you a buzzer to alert you when it is ready.
I've been to almost every location in town and they are all great. Aside from San Marco, there is one in Avondale on St. Johns Ave., the Southside on Southside and Baymeadows, and in OP on Wells Rd. I know there are more but I can't remember!
Awesome milkshake! Tasty food! I give them that! Don't agree with the prices but in general the experience was fine. No table service :(
I used to work near around the corner from this place. We would get lunch from here. I love the Loop. They have the best burgers. They also have great pizza.
So, this place is supposed to have good pizza? Really? I should have known that it wasn't going to be authentic when they didn't have any warnings about the deep dish pizza taking a long time to cook. It came out and was nothing like a true deep dish with the flaky crust. It was just a regular pizza, but the crust was twice as thick. It tasted and looked almost exactly like those little D'Giornos for One pizzas that you can get in the supermarket. And it wasn't even that hot.
The Loop gets five stars for one menu item alone, and that is the Oreo Milkshake. If there is one dairy-oriented beverage that could possibly be the symbol for growing up in the suburban sprawl of Jacksonville, it is this very beverage. If you get it to go, they will even still throw an Oreo cookie in the top of the Styrofoam cup, and smoosh the lid down over it, making it impossible to get any milkshake through the straw. But this is okay, because that's what you have to deal with when you get an Oreo milkshake to go from The Loop.
I've been to Jacksonville here and there a few times and with different people and each time I've gone to the Loop in San Marco. This place is great. It's a family owned and operated chain, though it still retains a restaurant quality. You must, must order the tomato bisque. It's so good, you'll want to drink it. The salads are huge. I've had the Gorgonzola Walnut, pretty good. Their main fare though is pizza, and they make those well. I like their Spicy BBQ chicken, though their Sausage and Goat Cheese was pretty darn good, too. Worth trying for sure. Remember to get the tomato bisque. Get the tomato bisque.
I didn't see anything healthy here, so I had to settle on getting a burger and fries. It was amazing. I was so happy I then got a milkshake. Blew me away. It was a great place and Id like to go back.
Their pizza is fabulous and the service is wonderful. have to admit it is my husband's and father's fav place.
