In my eyes the southern grille can do no wrong. Be it breakfast, lunch, or happy hour. I've had breakfast sandwiches, burgers, fish, quesadillas, sides and desserts and nothing has let me down. Sometimes I even pop in just for a smoked sweet potato. The staff are some of the friendliest around. I love they know my name when I walk in - which is impressive bc they see hundreds of people a day. Also carrying desserts by a third party - love the local supporting local mindset. read more

Solid place to grab food and watch sports on multiple big screen TV. I like how they serve the entire menu the whole day. I ordered a cheeseburger with a side of Mac n cheese at 7 AM which is great. read more

Came upon this place by reviews as we parked our boat at Friendship park. A short walk from the park. As we walked in we were promptly greeted and orders are taken at the counter. We had to take a minute because the menu was extensive. She recommended the BBQ and burgers since that's what she said they were famous for. Drinks are taken at the drink station with a soda fountain and sweet or unsweetened tea. They even have a coffee bar area on the opposite side. Food was delicious, my only critique was my fries were Luke warm on the verge of being cold. A lot of our group got the BBQ Pulled Pork Reuben Sandwich. She recommended getting it on garlic toast. I felt like a burger and got the Bacon Cheddar burger. We were all amazed how delicious the food was and mentioned coming back again. read more

The fries were not seasoned at all. The burger was overcooked and it didn't have much blue cheese. read more

Pricey, but good portion size and tasty. Tucked away downtown, so parking was difficult to find. Inside is nothing fancy and feels like a bar, but putting out way better quality food. Will be back to try something else in their extensive menu! read more

Stopped in today at this small casual diner located just off the south bank. Parking to get in is a little tight. The menu for the business is expansive covering breakfast, sandwiches, melts, wraps, salads, and assorted special offerings like red beans and rice with choice of protein. You will order at the counter (there was a line when we got there at 11). Once you have ordered, you will be issued a number placard as then you can find a seat at the bar, a table or a booth. I opted for a club sandwich with fries, while my friends with me got red beans and rice with sausage and chicken tenders. Our food came out a short time later and my club sandwich on wheat was great. A good mix of piled high ham, turkey and cheese with bacon on top. Their wheat bread is really good and light. My friend who got the red beans and rice could not finish his meal bc there was so much. Great place for a lunch. read more

Great little spot to hit for breakfast. Appears to be a locals place, which I look for. Large indoor dining room and bar with outside covered and uncovered seating. Counter service was extremely friendly and the food was delivered table side very quick. I had the Canadian bacon eggs Benedict on biscuits with cheesey grits with a Tito's mild Bloody Mary. The food was very good. Biscuits flaky and tasty and Hollandaise was quite good. Grits required no additions and were the perfect portion. Bloody Mary had a small peppery bite and was very good. read more

Very busy spot located in the heart of downtown. This place is an institution among professionals and locals alike. There are so many menu options to choose from. Breakfast is not served all day so come early for the cheese grits and bacon. Come for the food stay for the bar and hospitality. Parking is hit or miss. Plan to circle the block a few times but the food is worth the effort. Happy Eating Yeeps!!! read more

This is a hidden gem! Parking was tricky, but if you don't mind a short walk, you'll be fine. We were greeted when entering, and ordered at the counter/ bar. The menu is full of great choices. The restaurant is clean, and you can choose a table or a booth with outdoor seating available. Lots of TVs if you're into sports. There is a large aquarium with cool fish swimming around. I got the 4 vegetable plate. Okra, and tomatoes, red beans, pita, and hummus and a baked sweet potato. My husband had red beans and rice with spicy sausage. The food was brought to our table, hot , fresh, and full of flavor. The cornbread was excellent. We'll definitely return, and try their breakfast menu. read more

Lunch at Southern Grounds & Co. is always a win! It's one of my favorite spots to stop by during the day. The burgers are juicy, the fries are hot and crispy, and the vibe is always great for a quick, satisfying lunch. read more

Tried this spot this morning and the overall experience was just okay. I ordered the pancake breakfast combo. The eggs and bacon were cooked great, no complaints there. Unfortunately, one of my pancakes wasn't cooked all the way through and the inside was still raw. When I was done eating around the raw parts, I realized the second pancake had a piece of long hair cooked into the batter. I let the waitress know and she offered a free dessert, which I appreciated. That being said, the food was very mediocre, you could eat at any main chain restaurant and probably pay less. As far as ambiance goes, seems like a sports bar setting on the inside, which I had no problem with. read more

I drive past this place all the time but couldn't find an excuse to stop by until my cousin fell in love with their caramel banana pudding and told me I had to try it. So I stopped by and ordered a mushroom burger, a 10 piece wings, and a strawberry banana pudding to go. I loved the ambiance. Cute sports diner x dining hall. Everyone in there seemed to be regulars. They show the regular sporting events, so a nice place to watch. I ordered a peach margarita while I waited for my food. It was great! I ordered the wings fried hard and they were delicious. The burger and fries were good. But I have to say the strawberry banana pudding stole the show! It's delivered I think daily by a local dessert shop and it's honestly just worth the trip by itself. One of the regulars was telling me he and his mom hate banana pudding, but now they're both hooked on the one they got from Southern Grill! A great place to hang out, watch sports, and get some grub. I'll be back! read more

This place is a must try! Food was absolutely delicious however a little pricy for what you get. Service was good and it had a nice dive sports bar feel. read more

Great food and friendly service in an old school no-nonsense setting. Great vibe and better eats, with both breakfast and Southern classics being the string points. Great gumbo, sandos, and do not miss the collards. Safest spot in town as there is always a table of Sherriffs on their meal break. read more

The southern grille right in the heart of Jacksonville offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. This self service establishment has it all from beverages to drinks. The ambience has a down home feel. Orders are taken at the bar. We ordered, we sat and was fed almost instantly. My wife already is excited to return. The wife had the southern grill breakfast which includes eggs, grits, meat, home fries and toast. I got the veggie omelet with french fries and an english muffins. I had the veggie omelet. The omelet was small to the oodle of french fries on my plate. The omelet was tasty. Once you pay, the wait staff does not follow up. A sign says thank you for coming. This is the only down fall. A hostess at the front would be a welcome addition to a well oiled machine of a restaurant. read more

We ordered the hot buffalo wings, honey mustard , bbq, and garlic Parmesan 50 piece. These were the most dry, non sauced wings I have ever tasted. I was so upset but I live in orange park and by the time I drove back over to get my money back, they would be closed. I think they served us old wings, they had no flavor so that made it worst. Highly disappointed and would not recommend you go here. I mean they absolutely don't care what they serve people who are paying money for their services. read more

This place definitely was below expectations. The young lady behind the counter was a bit rude taking the food orders. However the young lady running the food to the tables seemed sweet. We struggled to get clean flatware. The coffee was not good. My cheeseburger omelette was over done and dry. Was basically a crumbled up hamburger patty and very little cheese. My English muffin was burnt as well. read more

This place never misses. Everything on the menu is fantastic especially sandwiches.

Wow the tasty grilled chicken salad hit the spot with the house vigarette . My sweetie had the hummus and collards, peas and coleslaw. Their dessert choices were large portions but there wasn't room for that addition. The crowd came right after we ordered and so many plates looked enticing as I walked through the aisles Loved the older gentleman's guitar music as we ate ... unfortunately we were so hungry I forgot got pictures til we were finishing up Very cordial staff , great smiles and excellent description of items Parking garage next door was easy as the street was lined many cars read more

Wonderful gem - great food and the service is exceptional. They're great for breakfast with a daily special - the day we were there it was a chicken fried steak breakfast sandwich. We also grabbed a side of cream gravy and went ALL IN. It was really good and for the money, one of the best breakfasts we had in Jax. We'd highly recommend and can't wait to come again. - great coffee bar - offers indoor and outdoor seating - parking is free and easy to find read more

Very disappointed with this place. I was so excited to have a nice burger and fries and the taste just wasn't there. It was ok but kinda dry and I didn't like how the burger was "seasoned". Not sure what they put on it but it didn't have any kind of flavor. I did put ketchup on it but that didn't even help. The fries were good but that's about it. Crinkle fries are my favorite tho so..... One thing that really made me upset tho, I paid for the food and realized that they didn't give me the discount they have if you stay at a nearby hotel. So they told me they refunded that amount then ran my card again for the correct amount. Said it would be off my card in 24 hours. Didn't happen. I wasn't refunded at all and instead was charged twice for the same food. Thankfully I have an amazing bank so I called and they took the incorrect charge off my account. If you go here and they do the same, CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT!!! read more

Great setting with plenty of TVs with sports on each one. Live music in a pleasant, covered outdoor patio area. The food was great, and plenty of it. Lively bar area and great atmosphere. With that said, understand this is an order at the counter and they bring to food to your table type of restaurant. But, the staff is attentive to you the whole time. read more

This is a little local bar/restaurant. Order at the counter. Mediterranean it really isn't. Yes they have gyros but it was like a package deal. Not like it is from a vertical spit. I had the gyro. It was ok. My friend had the sliced smoked turkey and it was dry. Passable but not the best. Definitely a local spot. It was busy. But probably won't be back. Lots of screens to catch all the games on the weekends. read more

What a great place and so close to the hospital!! The staff were amazing, cheerful and extremely helpful with finding lunch options on their large menu! We ordered at the front and food was deliver to our table. There is a drink station so you gab that and refills for yourself. I ordered the pulled pork platter and my stewed tomatoes and okra as well as the collards were delicious!! They have several sauce options too. I had to take a doggie bag home there was so much food! My friends also liked their meals. One had the chicken salad on pita bread and the other had the chicken tender basket with fries. There is plenty of seating inside and out and lots of parking options. I will be near the hospital again this week and already told my husband I would bring him to The Southern Grill! read more

Chicken wings are under cooked. Asked to cook them more. It took an 20 minutes. There were only 3 people sitting at the bar that already had their food. My friend had their cheese burger. She asked for it to be cooked medium. It was served well done and the fries were old and cold. read more

It was aHoppin.. Up in here..up in here.. and it was a Monday night! Live music and drink specials had their patio filled up as the live sounds generated thru southbank.. I hadn't been here in years so it was a overdue choice. The menu the friendly server handed us was extensive and so exciting with things like black eyed peas and okra as sides. I ordered the turkey BBQ platter with those house made sides. black eyed peas and Cole slaw. Yezzz that cole slaw came out COLD and fresh and it's in my dreams now. The black eyed peas were good too. Could taste a little vinegar in them and I love vinegar. We started with the okra and fried mushrooms as starters and my daughter had the patty melt...huge portion!. Enjoyed our meal and the music and I won't take so long until my next visit..promise... read more

This place has so much charm and the food just hits the spot. I was so happy that this was my first food stop in Jacksonville! My spicy sausage was so delicious, great flavor and portion. I had it with a side salad that was refreshing and tangy with a vinaigrette dressing, balancing out the savoriness of the sausage. The sauce options were also awesome! Loved the hickory sweet. I also tried their fries and banana pudding on a second visit and it was delicious. Service is excellent and so quick. Highly recommend this spot. read more

VISIT DATE: 3/2/24 I stopped in for breakfast with some friends after the Gate River Run 15K. The Southern Grill is a very casual restaurant with a good selection of breakfast and lunch options. There is also a bar. It is fast casual where you place your order and a server will bring it over to you. I wasn't extremely hungry, but I enjoyed my cheese grits. It was definitely a side portion more than a whole bowl of cheese grits - still tasty though. My friends enjoyed their pancake platter and said it hit the spot for them. The food came out quickly, and there was a small issue where they didn't add cheese. The server mentioned that she had forgotten to write it on the ticket, but I appreciate how she owned up to it. No issues with the service either. Everyone was friendly, and I'd recommend this for a place to grab a breakfast bite if you're in the area. read more
