    Super tasty vegan comfort food. Highly recommend. The food you usually can't get anywhere else as a Vegan

    Bless Yer Heart Sandwich with Mac-N-Cheeze
    Tess S.

    All the feel and tastes of a southern bbq joint, none of the animal cruelty. Absolutely loved my meal here and would be a regular if I lived in Jax. The interior is a little rough, could use some tlc (broken door, saggy chairs, just... tired). The people were very kind and helpful even though they were short staffed the day I visited. Check em out!

    Part of a reviving old neighborhood, now going hipster-cool, along with the whole residential area 'round here.  Healthy and yummy!

    I really love this place. I've been mostly vegetarian for 35 years, vegan at home, eggs on road, fish once in a while. I've been here six times or so. It's a bit rustic, located in a cool old storefront of a 50-60's strip. The veg chicken and burgers I've had were delicious and filling. The staff has been so nice. Prices moderate to cheap in today's world. Everybody come eat the all veg food and keep this wonderful quirky special place going!

    One word- AMAZING! Omg I wish I lived closer to this place. It's so good. I was in Jacksonville for the day and decided to stop by Murray Hillbilly after seeing them on IG and boy am I so glad I did. The food was so good and the customer service was A1 ! I came with my non vegan friend and he said I might have convinced him to go vegan because of how good the food was. We ordered the 5 pc Buffalo Wingz , Chickun Fries, Muenster Cheeze Fries, Bless Yer Heart, Spicy Chickun Fry, and the Mac N' Cheeze. Only thing we weren't in love with was the Mac N' Cheeze but I know how hard it is to get Mac N' Cheeze to be spot on with vegan ingredients so I will still give it a 4/5. Everything else tho, so good. Seasoned to perfection. Great portions. I literally have nothing but good things to say about this place. It's also very cute inside. Has some games on the tables. Pins & stickers you can buy at the counter. I will be in Jacksonville again next month and I will definitely be back.

    From the outside, Murray Hillbilly doesn't look like much, but what it lacks in interior & exterior design, it absolutely makes up for in service, quality of the food, portion size, and customer service! We had fried pickles, a shrimp basket with chicken fries, Muenster fries, a whopper burger, and a Smoke Stacker burger. Everything was delicious!

    Shrimp Po'boy

    I wanted to like it. I just didn't. The place looks dodgy, but if the food would have tasted good, that may have been overlooked. My slides were literally sticking to the floor too! There were 2 ladies working. One seemed a bit overbearing with the other worker. Like she was Queen Hillbilly. Anyway, I tried a biscuit from this place last year and thought I just ordered the wrong thing. The shrimp in this po'boy were tough and overcooked. The shrimp needed more seasoning too. The sandwich was more bread than anything. For $15, I definitely expected better. The fries were weird af. I'm not sure if they fried them twice in old grease or how they made potatoes dunked in grease so unappealing. There were small crunchy over cooked fries mixed in with limp undercooked fries. They did not seem to have any salt or seasoning on the fries either. I got my order to go, because the dark atmosphere was not my vibe. I'm glad this place is an option for those who enjoy it. It's just a no for me.

    Burger so undercooked that it's cold. Grubhub 12/4/25

    I really appreciate the refund I got for the burger I ordered thru Grubhub. But believe it or not I didn't aim for a refund, I was hoping for lunch. This was my first and last order from Murray Hillbilly. Photo is attached. I don't recommend eating from here. The fact that they sent this out is actually amazing.

    Bless Yer Heart Sandwich with fries ($14)
    Rachel S.

    I have a sweet tooth and the Bless Your Heart burger with its sweet orange sauce was a perfect balance of tangy sweet and savory. Fries were just the right amount of crispiness, and all for a reasonable $14. The staff were so friendly, and the food came out hot and fresh in minutes. They even have vegan household and personal items for sale including laundry detergent, soaps, hair detanglers, shirts, and more. I'd definitely come back for their delicious sandwiches and warm atmosphere.

    Upon entering I loved the ambiance. Customer service is great and delicious recommendations. The wings were good I recommend asking for extra sauce on the side for flavoring for the inside or use the dip. Mac n cheese was delicious and flavorful. Carmelized onions in the smokestack made my burger burst with flavor. Garlic Parmesan fries were so good. Definitely enjoyed everything!

    Bless Yer Heart Sandwich
    Tiffany L.

    Here with my bf. He is new to world of vegetarian and veganism. I just started 3 days ago. I loved the ability to have something hot, satisfying, and that tastes similarity to what I recognize in the world of meat. I tried the Bless yer heart chicken sandwich which I found to be delicious with a side of coleslaw. My bf got the Buffalo fried chickun sandwich, fries and wings. I preferred my sandwich better but he felt this was the best he had since he started this journey a little over a month ago. Service was quick. Behind the counter staff was helpful in explaining what everything was made off. The setting is cool and no-frills. They offer table games while you wait. I would definitely recommend to other vegetarians and vegans alike. I'm new here, and I really have no credibility to rate or compare it to. But my BF loves it, so this is for him.

I know every restaurant can have an off day, and because we've had great experiences here in the past, we'll definitely give them another chance. This visit just wasn't up to the standard we've come to expect from Sweet Mama's.

I have never had such a revelation and change of heart about a single food. This chicken will change your life! I have to drive about 30 minutes or more and 20 miles to get it and I happily do so when I get the "Shut Em Down Cravings" Each piece is individually cooked when you order it so you ALWAYS get hot (sometimes too hot to eat right away despite how much your mouth is watering) pieces of chicken. The sides are also good, though truthfully not nearly as good as the chicken, and you get two with your meal. Oh, and their home made baked good are delicious as well. The staff are friendly and quick to point out the best deal on what you are ordering (there are specials almost every day). Plus the atmosphere is VERY relaxed, sort of a diner meets Cracker Barrel (without all the junk on the wall). It is an overall bargain because it is hard to spend more than about $15 for lunch (including a drink) and you always have some to take home. There are other good fried chicken spots in JAX of course, but this is a GREAT fried chicken spot. Heck, now I've got the darn "Shut Em Down Cravings", guess it is a trip across the river for me soon.

    When I had a work trip for Jacksonville, I asked both my boss who was from Jacksonville and the…read moreoffice employees where they'd recommend to eat; this location was overwhelmingly suggested. Many recommended oxtails, which I had never tried since I've eaten mostly vegetarian for 10+ years of my life. My doctor has suggested reintroducing some meat to see how I can tolerate with digestive disorders, so I figured give this location and oxtails a chance! For lunch one day, another coworker who traveled from Phoenix with me decided to go to lunch here. She ordered the daily special meatloaf with collared greens and said they were pretty average. She previously had someone bring in lunch from this location, and she remarked the pork chops were very delicious. Likely a case of ordering the wrong item; as another coworker mentioned the baked chicken wasn't that spectacular. What I've learned? When you dine soul food, you don't mind calories. My oxtails were delicious and fell off the bone. It reminded me of pot roast on the flavor and tenderness. Very hearty and filling. I also had the mac n cheese, which to be expected from a soul place, was divine! I found myself wishing I didn't go with a vegetable (broccoli) and did double Mac n cheese. Food for thought for a next visit if I'm sent to Jacksonville again for work as this location is only about 6 miles from the hotel/work office. If you are looking for soul food, give this location a try. It is styled like a cafeteria for lunch, so we didn't find the ambiance as relaxing as other places we went. The staff was pretty friendly and appreciate them offering a side recommendation, though shocked they said broccoli or corn as their favorite. Nonetheless, a great soul food stop if you are in the mood.
