Spliffs never disappoints. It's just one of THE best dive bars you'll come across anywhere. Some of the best burgers, maybe the best Mac and cheese you'll have anywhere. A fantastic staff, a vast selection of draft beers that change with the season. You'll always find something you like. It's all good but I find it hard to order anything but the burning man which is just the perfect amount of spicy. Get to Spliffs, it's a great place to hang out and also works extremely well for watching a game. If it's been a while, go back. They are still THE standard. read more

Spliff's Gastropub is now one of my favorite places, very comfortable and chill. We went on a Saturday night around 9:45/10pm. Service was outstanding, big shout out to Kat, our server/bartender. She gave excellent recommendations on what to get for dinner. We have talked about the food every day since going and can't wait to go back! P.S- The grilled onions are SO good. I would eat them straight out of a bowl, like chips, if that was an option! read more

My husband wake and bake burger was good I took some bites because my dish was a disaster :( I ordered a steak sandwich and the steak was so chewy like bad bad it was so hard to chew and enjoy the sandwich the cheese and the habanero aioli was great but the steak had to be cooked frozen or super bad quality it was not worth the money the lettuce felt old you know how lettuce gets soggy after a while ? And tomatoes did to ... my husband brought me the food to the hospital it's 5 mins away it's not like it sat anywhere I just don't recommend it . It's too pricey for the quality of food you can probably get fresher food from Wendy's read more

We stopped by Spliffs before heading to the airport, and it was super delicious! I think I was expecting a sit down restaurant situation for some reason, but it's order at the counter. No issue! I noticed their large amount of Mac n cheese options, and while it looked amazing, I had just spent a whole week on vacay, so I was trying to be somewhat mindful of my choices. I ended up with the steak and rice bowl option and it was super delicious! The veggies were fresh and the steak was great. I do wish the potions were a bit bigger, but overall we had a great visit. Definitely want to go back to try the Mac. read more

My go-to for late night eats and drinks downtown. Good stoner comfort food, counter service so you can chill and not be interrupted by a server, amazing staff who are knowledgeable and helpful if you don't know your beers, and a chill laid back experience whether you're in for lunch, going to a show, or getting back from a jags game. 10/10 will always go back. Try the loaded chips or the pot belly grilled cheese, you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was very good and flavorful. Just came across this place while staying in a hotel near there. Other people's food in my party looked equally as good and they enjoyed it too. Would definitely visit again if I lived in Jacksonville. read more

Wish it didn't take us so long to try this place! Service was fantastic and the food was amazing. The Trust Fund burger tasted as amazing as described. I love goat cheese and combined with the candied bacon and balsamic glaze. Had to try the Mac and cheese for my side and was not disappointed. This has become my new favorite burger place in Jacksonville. read more

LOVEEEE spliff's!! the food is always delicious and everyone is always so kind. service is quick and as expected. will always recommend.

Fun little pub downtown- smaller place with only a few tables but have counter seating all around that face the street. Came here before a concert at Daily's Place. They had about 15+ beers on draft with a decent variety. On the food menu, they have a large selection of different types of Mac n cheese which I will try next time we go. We stuck to an appetizer this go around. Ordered the chicken potstickers- cooked really well and had a yummy dipping sauce. A friend of ours got "The Spicy Buffalo" sandwich. The bartender warned her it was spicy-- she did confirm it was really spicy, but said it was great and very tasty. This location is close enough to Daily's that you could take a scooter over if you didn't want to worry about parking around the stadium. read more

Cool place in the heart of downtown. Lots of good beer to choose from. Food was very fresh and a good mix of flavors. I loved the fresh sides but my wife was disappointed that they did not have fries or Diet Coke but she enjoyed her sandwich none the less. I am not a fan of counter service the lady did a good job of taking care of us from the counter so all good. We docked at the city docks and walked so pretty way to spend a Sunday. read more

Nice selection of beverages, both bottle and tap. Excellent food! The Patty Melt My Face is my go to sandwich but I have yet to find anything bad on the menu. The fries at the Bayard location and the loaded kettle chips are worth the visit by themselves. read more

I could never rate this place on one visit, as I've been to this place at least a dozen times. The food is definitely worth a stop after a night out, or just before you head in for the night. It's a laid back quick service restaurant with plenty of beers on available. The only thing I've noticed is if they do not ask, they will assume it's for dine in. As most places with this style place expect orders to mainly to be to go, they do not so just make sure you mention it. Only real bad experience I've ever had here is when I entered the establishment behind another person. They ordered and received a number. But when I ordered I did not. I asked for my number and the clerk had informed me that they had put it on that persons ticket. I asked why, she said "I thought yall were together." I informed her I didn't know that person. No apology was given, but she informed the kitchen and handed me a number. And once my food came out it was of course for here as she had only asked the individual before me, but I missed that at the time as I was caught off guard by being included with someone I didn't know. And felt like I was in the wrong for not speaking up sooner than I had. As the clerk seemed short with me. Other than that one experience I've had good experiences here. Just be sure to specify if you want to go or not. Very nice staff over all, everyone has an off day. And definitely try the Mac and cheese bowls!! read more

Came here just minutes before they were closing but they were nice enough to let us order! I wanted to try their salad with the added protein chicken but I guess they must of confused it with some other salad which was okay it was a miscommunication which is fine I tried it but it wasn't my cup of tea honestly it lack so much flavor. But I tried the Mac and cheese my partner got which was good just didn't like the bread crumbs on the top of it but the Mac and cheese was AMAZING! Good place ! read more

Top tier Mac and cheese!!! Kiddo enjoyed the pretzel bites, and hubby enjoyed the burger. Loved it!

Spliff's has been on our radar for a while now. We finally planned a little burger lunch date. We walked in, checked out the menu then ordered at the bar. Hubby ordered an IPA and the patty melt my face with a side salad. I ordered the regs burger with pepper-jack cheese and the Greek pasta salad. The burgers were very good. Everything was made to order and tasted fresh. The burger meat had good flavor and the cheese was melted well. I really enjoyed the Greek pasta salad, too. The feta cheese and olives were lovely additions. I thought hubby's side salad was fresh and yummy as well. He really enjoyed his patty melt. I had a couple bites and would order it next time. The bartender was friendly, they had tasty food and a nice variety of local beer. Overall, a good lunch spot! read more

I got the reg burger! It's delicious, 8/10, my husband got the big spliff, he said it was 7/10, he would have preferred steak slices over steak chunks. Drinks are always good with a wide selection of beer, mixed drinks, and other offerings. Service is great order at counter and get a number, food arrives fairly quickly, and the vibes of the bar are amazing, chill laid back bar, watch the game, hang with friends, it's a must try in Jax! read more

Tasty fun drinks and some cheesy yummy food ! So much is so cheesy! I LOVED the sandwich!!! They were so nice to split it in half for us and give us mac n cheese on our own plates. I also really liked my drink. Very juice for sure. A great drink for me ! I'd love to try the entree mac n cheese next time ! The side mac wasn't great flavor wise but it was still a good accompaniment to the sando! Sandwich was amazing!!!! My gf just didn't get a lot of filling on her half. But i was happy with mine lol maybe all her filling slid over to my half. Love that it's open late i can't wait to come here again ! read more

Great beer selection and good variety of food options. I had the chef special French dip with a side of chips. It was the perfect portion size and delicious. There is a lot of seating but much of it is bar stools/counter along the windows. The service is fast so tables open up quickly though. read more

Pretty quick service so it's a great place to go when you are attending something in the city. Our food was very good. Absolutely no frills here but very convenient and I would think reliable. Parking was easy and close by. Four star rating is based on the type of place and I only recommend it if it's ok to stand in line to order and not sit real comfortably. read more

I walked in off a recommendation from the front desk at the Hyatt. Very short walk to the location. Once I got here I was greeted with a smile and told to sit anywhere. Once I took my seat they gave me great food and drink recommendations. I went with the spicy buffalo ( sauce on the side) 10/10 and a Coffee Sour. It also was amazing! The music was great and the atmosphere was pleasant for a hot spring day! I would absolutely come back here again! Sorry I didn't take photos, the food never last long read more

I have visited Spliff's twice now before seeing a show at the Florida Theatre. I love the food and vibe! On my first visit, I tried the Duvall Dirty Bird sandwich, which included a well seasoned chicken thigh, bacon, pepperjack, lettuce, tomato with habanero ranch. The combo of flavors was delicious! I devoured the side, cucumber, tomato and goat cheese salad. I could eat this as a main course. So good! On my last visit, I had the grilled cheeses, plus bacon, and fries. Another great choice! I can't forget to mention the tons of draft choices. And you can sample to find the one you like. Stop by and give them a try! read more

I had the Dirty Bird chicken sandwich which was awesome. My husband had the Burning Man Burger which he really enjoyed. The mac and cheese wasn't anything special and we actually had a noodle that wasn't cooked so it was crunchy. I was so excited to see the video game Galaga because I had not played it since junior high school. But it ate three of my quarters and didn't work. read more

Not terrible, not great. I ordered the Goat Boy with a side of macaroni. The Goat Boy (steak, caramelized onions, green peppers, provolone and goat cheese) was delicious. However I wish the steak was cut into smaller pieces because as soon as you take a bite you pull the entire chunk of steak out of the sandwich which just leaves you with soggy bread. The cheese in the macaroni needed to be more liquidy because it didn't really do anything for me. If you're going to use corkscrew pasta it better have cheese funneling through every piece. This macaroni did not. read more

What a great place to go for a drink and a quick bite. I think the veggie Mac and cheese was the best I've had in my life. We also ordered the loaded chips...very tasty. There are lots of cool beers to try and the prices are super reasonable. I'm not a huge fan of beer, but my husband's dark ale was so good. The service was casual, fast and friendly. The restaurant is casual and clean. Definitely recommend if you are in the downtown Jacksonville area. read more

Headed over to Spliff's on a late weeknight, when barely anything was open downtown for late night eats. The menu looked way better than 'bar food,' although I would never have described this place as a gastropub, as the gastropubs I have visited before had a hip feel to them, while this did not. It just looked and felt like a bar that also happened to serve food. in part this was because the only chairs are barstools. I knew before getting there, that there would not be table service and ordering would take place at the bar. Their menu has a whole section of just 'mac and cheese' and I decided on the veggie (ordered without peppers). When my order came out, I saw that the top had a thick layer of breadcrumbs on it, and these clearly looked burnt on the top. Like, send it back to kitchen burnt. However, I was hungry and I figured I could peel off the top if necessary. Actually, the breadcrumbs, although visually unappealing, actually created a very nice crunch and textural element next to the macaroni and cheese, which was hot and creamy underneath. I also ordered a Liquid Death (seltzer water in a can). read more

I came here with my girlfriend after a concert at the vystars veteran memorial arena. They were one of the few spots open which was a plus. Menu is simple and everything looked great. I got the clubbed chicken sandwich and my girlfriend got a mac and cheese steak bowl. Both menu options were delicious. We also got some drinks (margaritas, party to the max, and green tea shots). All were good. The staff is friendly and it seems like the best vibe of spots. Would recommend spliffs gastro pub 10/10 read more

This place is cute and welcoming. I had a nice local beer that I very much enjoyed. I was pretty disappointed with the food however, I've never had red onions on a patty melt before and they were almost raw. I opted for the "Greek salad" as a side and I found it odd that it was topped with goat cheese and not feta. I understand it's a gastro pub but I was served my meal on a paper plate with plastic utensils as a dine in customer. I'd go back for the beer and the great music but not so much the food. read more

Small place, big portion size, great flavor! During the day, a great place for lunch whether from work or visiting downtown Jacksonville. Just a few blocks from the St. John's River n down the street from the historic Florida Theater. I had the Foghorn Leghorn Mac n Cheese bowl n yes it was delicious! Packed with chicken, bacon , broccoli and mac n cheese, it is oh so delicious . The menu is full of delicious food to try. Outdoor seating is an option. I'm sure during sporting events like Jaguars and Jumbo Shrimp games it is a great place. Full bar. Definitely a recommendation for locals and visitors.
