The vibe, food and customer service was top tier. My kids enjoyed brunch so we will be back!

Made a reservation ahead of time to ensure we could sit inside! The shared waffle board was so good! They list berries which felt silly because it came with like 4 berries! The waffles were sweet which was a great contrast to the salty chicken. The spinach artichoke dip was one of the best I've ever had! The drinks were great and a normal price. The service was great; our waitress Lee was very kind and sweet! It is super cute inside but not very many tables. read more

I'm still thinking about the shrimp and grits at The District in Springfield Perfectly cooked shrimp, rich and creamy grits, and a flavor that somehow manages to be both comforting and elevated at the same time. Every bite had that balance of savory, buttery goodness with just the right kick. You know when a dish is so good you slow down just to make it last? That was me the entire time. Hands down the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in Jacksonville--maybe anywhere. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. This one's worth the hype. read more

I'm not a huge breakfast (or sweets) person but the Bread Pudding French Toast and Fried Chicken was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life. The french toast had a great, complex flavor to it, was soft and moist, and the layer of vanilla icing really sent it over the top. I barely touched the side of maple syrup since everything was already so perfect. The fried chicken was crunchy, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. If I had ordered that by itself, I would've been perfectly happy. It was that good and the portion was generous. In addition to the great food, the service was attentive and the outdoor dining area was cool and well shaded on a busy Sunday. The next time I'm in town I'll be sure to try their dinner menu! read more

Easy reservation online system. Got our YURT for up to 12 ppl. It was cooled by portable HVAC and could have benefited from a little more light. But we made do. Our server Mari was excellent - attentive and friendly. Great cocktails and apps along with a variety of entrees made for a great dining experience. Would definitely recommend. read more

The vibe off top is unmatched at this Sunday brunch. The music, the wait staff, and the Peacock Green Dome is the perfect space to have an event in! Mari was our waitress and we just loved her!! Freddy was the musician of the day and he kept the place live and engaged! I ordered a passion fruit Bellini which was perfect for me!! The spinach and artichoke dip was amazing, flavorful and the bread it came with was soft and seasoned, which I loved. The salmon and grits was definitely the star of the show, the salmon was cooked so well and the seasoning was just right!! The grits were cooked just right as well! I need to come here more often! read more

Good food and service. Visited with my mom and son. We had the short rib which was very flavorful. Mom ordered a shareable. Starters were their deviled eggs, yum. I must say that my favorite was the bread pudding, blueberry with white chocolate sauce. Nice atmosphere, we sat outdoors. Jonathan was very attentive to our needs. No worries about the flies on the patio they have those little fans to shooo them away. read more

Starting New Years Day off with a wonderful brunch at a place I don't get to often enough! I haven't been here in a few years and goodness have they grown! We sat out on the porch, which was covered and had heaters. It was quite comfortable on a very chilly day! Our server was wonderful and kept our glasses full and helped us decide on menu items. She was on top of it even though it was an incredibly busy morning. I had trouble deciding between the French toast (my go-to brunch/breakfast food!) and chicken and waffles. But on the menu... chicken and French toast. Best of both worlds and now my life won't ever be the same! The chicken was juicy and tender and the breading had delicious seasoning. I was nervous the French toast would be too sweet but it was just the perfect balance of the chicken. Dipped in the syrup, I was in heaven! Also at the table was oxtail and grits. Grits aren't really for me, but they were decent (take this with a grain of salt because as I said, I don't like grits in general) and the oxtail was great! Someone got chicken and waffles and I did try a nibble of the waffle. It was good but I was definitely partial to the French toast. And finally, a croque madame! I didn't sample but everyone else gave rave reviews. For the drinks, most the table had bottomless mimosas. Worth the cost and delicious! One got a French 75 which I tried and it was perfection! Bright and lemony! I had cold brew coffee and here is where my only (small) complaint comes in. I only got the cold brew because they do not have hot coffee! For a brunch place, this feels illegal lol. And the cold brew was very so-so. Tasted a bit watered down. I survived just fine though and it won't keep me from going back and raving about the food. It did get quite loud on the porch once it was filled up. So, something to consider if you're looking for something a little more intimate and quiet. Also, the music was seriously on point. And that was a decent volume. read more

Went there on a weekend for brunch and got really lucky that we were able to get seated right away without reservation (although would definitely recommend making a reservation because they are always busy). It was cold and rainy outside so the seatings outside on the patio were definitely cold even with the space heaters. They were incredibly busy so the service was slow. Food came out delicious, and staff was very knowledgeable to help us decide what to order. They do have unlimited mimosa on weekends but be mindful that they get busy and the server might not be able to refill for you (we were there for about 2 hours and only ended up getting 2 mimosas each which was a waste to do unlimited mimosa and not worth it). read more

The district is probably a 4.5 star experience, I'll round up since I'm looking forward to going back to enjoy patio seating. On this most recent first-time visit, we stopped by on a busy Saturday at lunch time. We arrived at 11:00 a.m. with a reservation, and I'm certainly glad that I did make a reservation since the place fills up quickly for lunch/brunch. I enjoyed the chicken and waffles, the chicken was well prepared, and those waffles were uniquely amazing! Service from Sean was good, and while the tables inside the restaurant are packed very closely together, we were still able to enjoy conversation. We did notice the people without reservations were left with bar seating, since the dining room and patio filled up. The Springfield neighborhood is nothing significant to speak of, so there's nothing in the surrounding area to visit before or after a meal. There is a parking slab about a block from the front door of the restaurant. Pricing averaged about $35 per person all in including soft drinks, though note that they do not offer cold/iced tea as a beverage, which seems odd since all of their other soft drinks come in cans, so it would seem easy to offer tea. Overall, this restaurant does offer excellent food, and a trendy environment, so I do anticipate returning. read more

My husband made a lunch reservation for us on Saturday at 11. The restaurant is located on a residential street in the Springfield area north of downtown Jacksonville. There is some street parking as well as a free parking lot about a block past the restaurant. There was a line of people waiting to get in when we arrived. Fortunately we had a reservation for indoor dining. There is also a big patio with plenty of tables on a covered patio. The menu had about six appetizers, as well as about twelve entrees. I went with one my standards, the shrimp and grits. The dish was tasty, but literally was only shrimp and grits, with no sausage, peppers, tomatoes or onions. My husband had the chicken and waffles. The dish looked and tasted great. Service was quick. read more

I would suggest a reservation but we were recently able to walk in without a wait on a Saturday morning (right after opening). We loved sitting outside. There was live music, which is always a fun touch. We got the bottomless mimosas. I mean, you can't go wrong here. They had three juice choices- orange, pineapple, and cranberry. You can't change it up with each glass and the staff came by often to refill. We also got the carnivore board which was a great option when you just can't decide. It had short ribs, chimichurri steak, and fried chicken. The sides included the potatoes, grits, biscuits, and gravy. Everything was great! The gravy has what I believe to be a sage flavor, so it wasn't my absolute favorite breakfast gravy, but it didn't stop us from devouring it! read more

4.5/5 stars! Biggest tip: Make the reservation. The patio is more spacious and a better vibe than inside. We had a reservation for 11am and the line was already down the street. Our server was fantastic, very animated and attentive. Bottomless mimosas are always a win! Menu is kind of pricey but well worth it. Great place for friends to connect over a yummy meal! read more

I've been to District a few times for drinks &/or dinner and recently went for brunch. Every time I have been, food and service have been very good. They have great specials during the week. Lovely decor and fun outdoor space as well as the yurts you can reserve. I don't know if they've always had it but I just learned on this trip that they have a parking area diagonally across the street from the restaurant! That makes a big difference for me because the street parking there is not ample. Would always recommend District to anyone. read more

The District SPR - Chimichurri steak & eggs - Wine Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The District has been a favorite for brunch since they opened. I've been fortunate to snag amazing patio spots for my groups of 5+ (with a reservation) during times that live music was happening. This was my first visit for dinner, and it was still a great experience with the same flavorful food options available at brunch (the salmon, and or shrimp and grits are my favorite during the day, those Cajun seasoned shrimp are a flavor bomb!), with a few additional hearty options. We were promptly seated and enjoyed the cheese board with an addition of prosciutto. The mustard that comes with this board was so good I also had some with my short rib! There was a fun selection of nuts and crackers, with two spiced cheeses, burrata, and pimento cheese. As mentioned, I had the perfectly seasoned braised short rib which was served piping hot, and my date chimichurri steak which was well seasoned and cooked to the chefs preferred temperature. While there was no live music, whatever was coming through the speakers was a vibe, and the overall atmosphere was perfect. This will remain a go to place when you just want to enjoy a meal and enjoy a romantic setting. read more

The District SPR - Cheese board with prosciutto added - Wine Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

They were very accommodating for a really large group. I had 20 in my party and they were set up an hour before our start time. I ordered the seafood board for the table. The seafood board was the perfect choice for my party to try a variety of options. The salmon and shrimp were very flavorful. My group devoured the seafood board. Everyone was happy with their food there was only one complaint out of 20 women. One friend did not like the braised beef as it was cut making it very stringy and for her it was over seasoned. They told her that she had to keep it and they would not take it back. The server said if the kitchen says it's cooked right she would have to keep it. She was willing to ordered something else but they were not happy with that solution. We spent about 1000 dollars with food and drinks purchased. I don't agree with that policy. read more

The service was pretty good but out server forgot a few of our items a couple times. The food was solid but nothing to write home about. I shared the carnivore board with a buddy and the spinach and artichoke dip. The dip came with nicely toasted bread which was a nice change up from chips. The carnivore board always ok. Not really spiced up and the sauces were ok. Was a cool place to try and the atmosphere was a kickback vibe. It is a little weird that it's right in the middle of a neighborhood but it works. read more

The District SPR - Out front :) - Wine Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

From the moment we arrived, this restaurant felt like something special. Dining in a beautifully designed yurt created an atmosphere that was both cozy and elevated -- warm lighting, intimate space, and a vibe that made the whole evening feel like an experience rather than just a meal. The food was outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they serve. It's the kind of place where you want to try a little bit of everything because each plate that comes out looks incredible. The atmosphere is truly unmatched -- relaxed yet refined, with just the right balance of comfort and sophistication. Whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a memorable night out, this spot delivers. I'd absolutely come back. A yurt, great food, and an unforgettable ambiance... what more could you want? read more

I've been to The District five times now, and this place is easily one of the best spots in town for vegans and vegetarians! My husband and I came tonight because of the $30 three-course dinner special for September. While I was a little disappointed that there weren't any plant-based options included in that deal (fingers crossed for the future!), their regular menu still delivers. I ordered the vegan Wellington, and it was absolutely phenomenal. While I am disappointed that they removed the sausage étouffée that they used to have as a second vegan entrée, but even with fewer options, The District remains one of the strongest choices in Jacksonville for plant-based dining. On top of the food, the atmosphere is great. They even offer super aesthetic tents on the back patio for rental, the perfect idea for groups and a really fun vibe. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely fantastic experience at The District SPR in Jacksonville. My girlfriend and I both ordered the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes, and they were outstanding--tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

Everything was on point -- I can't wait to go back! Thank you again for such a great experience. I truly enjoyed everything.

We were seating as soon as we got there (made a reservation online). We had outside seating, even though it was raining, it was covered and great ambiance. The server was also very knowledgeable of the menu and helped me decide if I wanted the baked crab cake (great choice). The food was really good and hot! You can tell everything was freshly made and the bottomless mimosas were definitely worth it. To top it off, there was a champagne shot gun one of the servers had going around too. Such a great experience and I'll definitely be back. read more

This place has been long overdue for a revisit. The menu was a little more limited compared to when I went last time but still offered large filling entrees. The drinks were still amazing. Our server recommended we try the Adult Happy Meal and were NOT disappointed. It came with a large chicken nugget with a very mayo creamy aioli which I wish had a bit more of a bite to it and more liquid, and a mini Big Mac followed by a funfetti style cake. I also had the coffee liquor cocktail that had a delicious sprinkling of cinnamon. read more

After that less than unprofessional reply, it's time to make edits. I'll go ahead and take this down to 1 star because there were things I neglected to mention out of blatant respect for small business. But we're doing this. Firstly, those low quality crab cakes are overpriced and nasty. Anyone can buy a box of zatarans (instead of rotten bell peppers) and still do a better job. Just because you crumble cheese-it's on the top and add micro greens, doesn't make it fancy. Temperature matters. Speaking of temperature, are you aware that people can become ill if seafood isn't prepared properly and served at a certain temperature? If you're wary about eating at places that could make you sick, I definitely recommend visiting the health department's website and looking into the violations this business has. Especially the visit that required follow ups. I'm sure you'll find some gems for this place. As far as health and safety, they must not be aware that bay leaves are actually poisonous to ingest, yet they served one to my husband along with other non food items when they scraped the bottom of the two day old gumbo pot for his food. Let's not forget about the terrible service. I tried calling this establishment about 7 times beginning at 4pm. No one ever answered. The voicemail says the best way to reach them is through socials or text. I texted at 7 asking two basic questions and got no response. I tried booking a reservation, but when clicking on that link, my browser kept closing and I had to go all the way back and start over. This is one of the reasons I still showed without a reservation to SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS. Now, the business owner doesn't like my opinions. Instead of taking accountability for the actions and lack there of, that constitute a good visit, you come on here replying to customers who ALREADY spent money. Girl bye. Go talk to your staff and take the L. This less than unprofessional behavior does not make you look tough. It proves to other and future patrons that yall ain't ship. Do better. You look childish on here replying to people like this is a high school cafeteria. read more
