The Loop Pizza Grill

The pizza is good but the chicken sandwiches and hamburgers taste like they have freezer burn there’s nothing fresh about them. The milkshakes are good but the tea machine is broken and they were serving tea out of Rubbermaid pitchers with tiny fruit flies everywhere.

I have been coming to this location of The Loop since I was in high school. During that time, the quality of the food, friendliness of the staff, and most importantly the cleanliness of the dining area has remained at a constant high standard. As for the food:
My parents are both vegetarians so until I left the house we always got the five cheese pizza. And it’s good, you can taste all five cheeses. I’ve been to a lot of places where they serve three cheese pizzas and it just tastes like mozzarella.
They are also fond od this bread, sliced in half and covered with cheese. I’ve never tasted it since veggies aren’t my thing, but that’s almost always what they order so they must like it.
I personally prefer mushroom and pepperoni, and they use portabello mushrooms not those little ones. There is never any of that orange grease pooling on top of the cheese from the pepperoni which leads me to believe it isn’t the cheap stuff.
But it is the burgers that keep me coming back. I get the same one everytime, a mushroom and swiss, medium with fries. It always comes out perfectly cooked, loaded with cheese and mushrooms. I’m a decent sized guy but sometimes I have to take part of my burger home with me. Also, as long as I’ve been going to the loop, the fries, which are the thick steak cut variety, have never been cold or greasy.
Best tomato bisque besides my mother’s.
They also make the best milkshakes in town. I’ve only tried chocolate, one day I will get around to Oreo.
Basically, this is a really good place to eat five minutes from the Orange Park mall on the edge of the county border

Not crazy impressed but I suppose it wasn’t terrible. The burger was cooked correctly and tasted fine. Although, I ordered the «Cajun» burger but think that the chef who invented the recipe believes whole-​heartedly that by adding Lowry’s seasoned salt to a burger patty, that makes it unique and hold the namesake of the recipe; that chef is fundamentally mistaken but I’m aware that in a corporate chain that’s not really the franchise’s or any of the employee’s fault. Other than that case of mistaken burger identity and a spec of some kind of dried food that had been dishwashed onto the chilled glass I ordered my first beer in (which I returned in exchange for a bottle) I give this location a C. Good enough for the after church crowd but could use improvement.

One less star only cause my pizza was droopy but so delicious ! Maybe I’ll try a smaller one haha. The 12 inch was big ! I’ve always loved the loop and still do ! Awesome options and no matter what the foods amazing. I can’t wait to go back and chomp down on some more of their delicious good eats ! I wish I could have some steak fries right now !

It doesn’t get any more mediocre than this. Not bad for what you get, the burgers are definitely frozen and prepackaged and everything else tastes a little bland. Not that good, but not that bad either.

Simple restaurant with good food. The chicken sandwich was tender and juicy; not dried out like most. The fries were kind of plain but the homemade chips were great.

Stopped at this restaurant after a recommendation from a co-​worker. It was right down the street from the hotel I am staying at. I ordered an 8 inch pizza and side Caesar salad and it was more food than I could handle.
The salad was handed to me right after I ordered at their counter. It was hand tossed right in front of me. The croutons tasted homemade and super fresh.
The pizza was good although not my favorite. I like pizzas with a little more garlic and flavor. This crust was a little blah, but it was all very fresh and the sauce was just right.
I will have to go back and try a good ol’ burger and shake.

I called in an order — not realizing they were closing in 9 minutes. When I arrived I was greeted cheerfully and 3 different staff members asked me if I’d like something to drink while I waited for the order to finish up. DELIGHTFUL — this is the kind of retaurant to patronize!

I love the Loop! It’s definitely a Jax staple for delicious burgers, milkshakes, fries, pizzas!
The loop is a hybrid between fast food and sit down. You order at the counter and get a buzzer, and go pick up your tray when it buzzes. Service at this location is quick and painless. Price range is around 7 – 10 dollars per meal. No Loop entrée is complete without a milkshake, which comes in 2 cups and is easily shareable. I recommend cookies and cream.
Overall The Loop is a nice casual lunch venue and will deliver you to cravings heaven.

Ordered meat market pizza and ceasar side salad. The salad was fresh and served on a chilled plate which I prefer. The croutons were the best part of the salad. The ceasar dressing was good but I typically expect to see shaved or shredded parmesan on a ceaser and that was missing. It could have used the cheese to balance the dressing.
The pizza was ok, nothing to rave about. The sauce really surprised me as it was either too light on the crust or just didn’t have any flavor. The pizza was a bit greasier than I expected even being a meat pizza. The crust was also ok, it probably could have used another minute and a half in the oven to crisp it slightly on bottom. It just could not stand up to the grease very well.
The place appears to be in the middle of remodeling? The walls had drywall mud on them. A fresh coat of paint and new ceiling would help out a lot.

Love it! The burgers are juicy, salads are fresh, pizza is tasty, milkshakes are awesome & the tomato bisque is my fave.

Place wasn’t that clean. Anytime you go to a place that is not clean… you doubt the food.

Thank you for your amazing pizza!
It was a part of my high school years, college and now nostalgic when i return to my past in Jacksonville.

My favorite restaurant in Orange Park by far! Friendly service and everything on the menu is great. Best burgers in town. Onion rings are incredible. It’s an older restaurant so it’s not that pretty but they are in the process of remodeling the whole thing. If you want a great meal please support these smaller chains!

Am I missing something? When I think of The Loop, I think burgers and delicious onion rings and not pizza. But against my better judgement, I ordered a pizza and a salad. The salad was tasty, but then again… It’s a salad. Not much to screw up there. My pizza on the other hand… It tasted like a box personal pizza. My toppings didn’t taste thoroughly cooked, nor did they stick to my crust and cheese. I was totally disappointed. Maybe it was just a bad day for them or I ordered the «wrong pizza,» but I’m gonna stick with my burgers from now on! On a positive stand point, the staff is always very polite.

I wrote a review recently for the San Jose location after a disappointing experience. I figured that was a location specific but now I’m not so sure. I have been eating at this location for as long as I can remember and I’m shocked at how far down hill things have gone.
As I said in my original review, this place is gross (seriously, don’t look up) but that the food was worth it. Apparently not anymore. I ordered the Loop burger (as usual). It came out pretty quickly but the burger was so much bigger than the bun, I couldn’t keep the meat from sliding out (is that a that’s what she said worthy line or what?). It was super greasy and just not very good. I could have spent a couple of bucks at a drive thru and been just as satisfied as I was with my $ 10 dinner.
The service was also below par. The young woman at the register was pleasant enough but while I was trying to get my drink, one of the bus boys about ran me over not once but twice. No apology either time, he barely looked at me when I said «excuse me.»
I’ve always loved the Loop and I want that to continue but they need to step it up. There are too many «fast casual» options around for this mess to be worth it.

DONT FORGET YOUR BUZZER.
amazing applewood bacon cheddar burger patties were moist juicy cooked perfectly purple onion tomatoes lettuce all fresh and steak fries not to salty crispy and soft interior nothing bad to say about this burger at all never been florida and was a great first meal here after a long drive there Caesar salad with chicken was perfectly covered and tossed with the right amount of dressing thinly sliced chicken never to much chicken in any bite of salad this place impressed
Staff was friendly and. courteous i will be back

Burger was great. The kids Mac & cheese was horrible. It’s just the boxed stuff left out on a steam table. The ceiling is filthy and it feels like dirt could rain down at any time.

This is a nice little pizza restaurant. It’s not a «pizza joint,» though. It’s a restaurant. The sit-​down tables are nicer than a pizzeria, and the food quite good. Bring some back to your room, you’ll have room for more later! The pizza is served piping hot, and it’s a solid choice if you just need some comfort food while missing home.

Great lunch spot, excellent food, great salads and soup. Burgers are great… very friendly staff — I will definitely go back! A great alternative to blah fast food joints! Need more places like The Loop!
Pizza looked good to, will have to try when I return.
You will not be disappointed
