Southern Charm - Jacksonville

Well worth 5 stars! The food was amazing and the service was great. Such a unique experience. So glad my wife and I stumbled onto this place. We will definitely be back. Chef Art is the man! The restaurant doesn’t look like much but don’t let that fool ya.Food: 5/5

This is one of those ‘diamond in a rough’ places. My husband was looking for a lunch buffet place on a Friday and this popped up as being very near the area we were in so we decided to try it and are so glad we did. The food is excellent. Today the menu was fried whiting, fried shrimp, cheese grits, fired green tomatoes, collard greens, a tomato cucumber salad and a homemade cinnamon cookie that what more like a blond or brownie in appearance. Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned (in my opinion) hot and the fired foods were perfectly fried. As soon as the shrimp were done, they would send a plate of them out to our table. The waitress kept my husbands drink filled and was very pleasant and friendly. The only reason I did not give it all 5 stars is that the atmosphere could use a little improvement but that adds to its charm. Will definitely go back when we are in the area again!

What an experience. Amazing food and atmosphere. Go to this place, be patient, be open to having what Chef Art wants to cook and you will have one of the best meals of your life.Food: 5/5

Went for the first time today. Everything was so good! Best fried green tomatoes. It was a very great experience. I can't wait to go back.Food: 5/5

Found this hidden gem and went there twice for breakfast. The wait staff was wonderful and the food was out of this world. The way the place was decorated was the best. It was nice to see the locals come in and every one saying good morning to them.
