What’s on the Menu?
Describing the prevalence of locally owned eateries in Jacksonville, several words come to mind: Wonderful. Growing. Collaborative. Rising.
Here, historic properties are abuzz with activity as young, ambitious chefs make their marks with culinary masterpieces — bakeries, coffee shops, and pubs shine locally sourced ingredients — fresh meat from local lockers, produce and honey from local, family-owned farms, and buns and pastries baked fresh every day in the heart of the city.
And the result? Let’s just say when you visit Jacksonville, you won’t leave hungry. Wood-fired pizza with just the right amount of char. Juicy, specially blended burgers with tart, homemade pickles on a buttery, fresh-made bun. Flaky, delectable, and oh-so-sweet pastries. Traditional American dishes with a Southeast Asian twist. A melting pot of exciting, new flavors and old favorites are waiting to be discovered in Jacksonville. So, what are you in the mood for?
