The Happy Tomato Courtyard Café & BBQ - Fernandina Beach (FL)

5 /5 Sarah Chichester: This place was an absolute gem! It was my boyfriend and I’s first time here and we will most definitely be back!! I’m not a huge sandwich person but I could personally eat one of these bad boys everyday that’s just how good and fresh it was. The atmosphere and the staff were also amazing. Definitely a must go to give it a shot!

5 /5 Jeff Stewart: The food was very good, great lunchtime fare. The pulled pork was a little dry, but the mustard BBQ sauce was very good. Wife loved the chicken salad and pimento, and said the potato salad tasted very fresh and homemade. We also tried the choc chip and walnut cookie and were not disappointed.

4 /5 Steve Snyder: We had a nice lunch at the Happy Tomato. The service was just as good as the food. We tried the blt, pulled pork, and a smoked chicken sandwich. All of the sandwiches were generously portioned. The courtyard is small, but I enjoyed the quiet. The majority of the seating is outside. I would encourage you to give them a try if youre in the area.

5 /5 Ron Hall: My wife and I had the pulled pork sandwiches. They’re large sandwiches with a heaping helping of meat. The meat is tender and juicy with just the right hint of smoke. I got the mustard sauce which was very good, but my wife got the sweet sauce that stuff is amazing. The sweet tea is outstanding, easily the best I’ve had in quite awhile. We had a few people sitting around us with different dishes. Everything was looking and smelling great. The folks next to us had 1/2 chickens. I’ll be trying that before we head home tomorrow. The outside seating is in a nice little courtyard with the gentle breeze flowing through.

5 /5 Cynthia Edmonds: Not our first visit to this fabulous, half-hidden lunch place in charming downtown Fernandina. We love how this place has a private courtyard away from the street. Order lunch at the counter and grab your drinks and a table outdoors. Theyll bring your food to your table. Once again, we got some of their fabulous BBQ. It never disappoints. This visit, we ordered The Max, which is a pulled pork and pimento cheese on whole wheat bread, served with pickles and a bag of chips. We also ordered the Smoked Pulled Turkey, which is served on a soft roll with a side of pickles and a bag of chips. We also ordered a side of coleslaw and two Ice Teas for a filling and tasty lunch. Ive had my eye on their BLT and might try it one of these times, but their BBQ is so good. All come with a choice of Sweet or Spicy BBQ Sauce or Mustard BBQ Sauce. The whole menu looks great and weve enjoyed their house-made cookies on another visit. Lunch only. Highly recommend.
