uncaught syntaxerror unexpected token U JSON

Question

I get this error "uncaught syntaxerror unexpected token U" when I run my page in chrome. And in firefox I get, "JSON.parse: unexpected character". I'm returning the json data from a php file and the returning json string is valid. I checked it with http://jsonlint.com/ . Any help would be appreciated... Thanks.

Here's the returned JSON string

[
    ["1","Pan Africa Market",""1521 1st Ave, Seattle, WA"","47.608941","-122.340145","restaurant"],
    ["2","The Melting Pot","14 Mercer St, Seattle, WA","47.624562","-122.356442","restaurant"],
    ["3","Ipanema Grill","1225 1st Ave, Seattle, WA","47.606366","-122.337656","restaurant"],

Answer 1

That error is normally seen when the value given to JSON.parse is actually undefined. So, I would check the code that is trying to parse this - most likely you are not parsing the actual string shown here.
