What a great place! The bellman at The Doubletree recommended it...and he was spot on. We spent 4 nights in Jacksonville and ate 3 meals at The Southern Grill. There was a variety of delicious food on the menu. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Multiple, huge televisions made it a great place to watch the Steelers beat the Chiefs. I highly recommend The Southern Grill!

The food and staff are top of the line here! You must make it a point to stop in for a great food and dining experience.
Great food, great staff, great atmosphere! The Lott Family thoroughly enjoyed dining at The Southern Grill this afternoon. My cajun grouper was perfect, my husband and my son loved their ribs, and my twin granddaughters really liked their burgers and those wonderful fries! We will definitely be back soon! How in the world did I miss out on this place?! You are a hidden treasure! ;-)
The Southern Grill has the largest portions of any restaurant around! They have a wide variety of menu items and specials everday. The food is always fresh and delicious. An excellent place for great food!

Southern Grill has great food. I am so happy I tried their pulled pork which is amazing. Slow cooked perfectly. Nice friendly low keyed place I highly recommend if you like real food that tastes delish.
I'm a lifelong resident of Jax and have driven on Prudential Drive thousands of times, but have never been on Flagler Ave. or eaten at the Southern Grille...My loss, this place is great! Excellent pulled pork, we will definetly be back.
Had the Eggs Benedict over pulled pork and it was amazing. I’m a big eggs Benedict fan anywhere and this is one of my top 5 I’ve had. Service was also on point.
On 12/28 I had a 1/4 rib dinner....yumm!
On 12/29 I had a bacon-egg-cheese sandwich w/oatmeal (it's all about the balance �).....��!! Thanks to The Southern Grill....delicious food!!
Stopped in for a later breakfast after running the Best Damn Race half marathon. On the weekend they serve breakfast until 2pm...so that is a huge plus. Both of our meals were excellent...I had a large stack of chocolate chip pancakes and my wife had a huge omelette meal. Everything was prepared well' tasted great and the meals came out quickly. I spoke to the owner on our way out and he was very personable. There is a reason they have been in business for over 19 years.
Amazing breakfast! Awesome staff! Dede our waitress was the sweetest lady ever! Great place all the way around!
The only problem I had at this restaurant is after eating here 3-4 times a weeks for 6 weeks I was unable to try everything on the menu. The food is absolutely amazing and the service is even better. Thank you Joey, Amanda, Christian and Abby.
Great fish with sides collards and black eyed peas. Good prices. Enjoyed the patio

Found out about this spot earlier this year. The food is amazing!!! Now, this is a must every time I'm in Jacksonville. Was there yesterday for lunch, will be there today for breakfast�. Very friendly staff!! �
They'll make your meal your way. For breakfast I tried hash browns with their corned beef and sausage gravy with two eggs on top, and it was fantastic.
First time trying Rice and gravy and it didn't disappoint. The meats we had were: turkey, chicken, pull pork and ribs they were all cook well and were full of flavor. The place was packed due to the 49ers being in town and the wait was not bad. Great drinks.
Awesome food, welcoming and friendly staff (especially Kris!), just loved it!!! Had an omelet with hash browns, coffee, and a bloody mary (that came with a CRISPY bacon and olive garnish - so good)!!! Felt like a little bit of home. Thanks!
Exceeded my expectations. I frequently come to Jacksonville and found my 2nd go-to place when I am in town. Came here with my coworkers and stayed for happy hour. The food was beyond what I expected for bbq and I am from Texas. The drink specials were a nice cherry on top. Christian, the wonderful woman who worked the bar was spectacular and made us feel like old friends. The locals were delightful and it felt like I was in an episode of Cheers. I ate as much as I could and still had plenty to take home. I am so happy I stumbled on this establishment. 10/10 would recommend. The menu btw is huge! Can’t wait to try other options.
Wednesday night live music! The grouper was off the hook amazing! The service was great, food came out fast. They have an outdoor dining. Saw the menu ahead of time, then came in and they had additional items on the wall.

Wow! This place clicks all the check boxes. We were staying at a riverfront hotel for The view however you know how hotel restaurants are. Blah blah blah blah with high $$$$. The southern grill was within walking distance so we thought we would give it a for breakfast. You pick up a paper menu and sit down. When ready to order go to the bar and they take good care of you. Our breakfast came fast. It was like the cook knew what we wanted and started before we ordered. The omelets were large and flavorful. The biscuit I had was awesome. The cheese grits were the best I've ever had. The pricing was so reasonable at a time when going to Perkins you can't get away for two people less than 35 dollars! For two of us the bill was $28 including the coffee. If you're the downtown area on the south side of the River you need to check this place out. Happy hours from 4 to 7 and specials everyday.
Stopped here for lunch on our drive down to Kissimmee. Food was great, service was good. Located steps away from the river walk. Parking is tricky as the lot next to the restaurant has like 5 spots. Try to park in the garage across or next. Not sure if you can park on the street.
Great Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner/Bar.. place.
Good atmosphere, Good food.
It just seemed to be missing personality. The only interaction was when you walked in and paid.
Maybe I'm old, but one of the most memorable things about going to a restaurant is the server, good or bad. Southern Grill voids you of that.
Good food, for a fair price.

First impression was a slightly noisy bar. You have to order everything at the bar and then sit down, no problem. Staff is very nice and greeted everyone as we stood in line. The ribeye was cooked perfect and the Mac and cheese, and green beans, are excellent sides. Didn’t notice they had live music outside until I sat down. The jammy band was good and I will definitely be coming back here.

So actually have eaten here twice in the last few weeks. After seeing some reviews we stumbled upon this unassuming establishment nestled in between parking structures and office buildings. Soooo glad we did! Food was great fir breakfast and for dinner. They totally accommodated our kate arrival and took great care of us. Coffee was good and the drinks even better! Live music some nights.. you are in a bar after all. Their chef is fantastic! Ordered the pulled pork Benedict biscuit for breakfast … the flavorful tender meat marinated in my mouth and took over my taste buds for a moment. We also enjoyed the pastrami and egg bagel. So good! Ordered the grouper on the Dinner special .. super good but super hungry so did not get photos!
What a great place for a tasty bite to eat! I had the Cuban sandwich with pulled pork and it was admittedly the best Cuban I’ve had in a long long time. I had the chilly as the side and it was delicious too! I’ll be definitely coming back. Good beer selection and full bar complete the package. I went for lunch but it looks like it is a fun place for the evening as well. We sat at the bar and the service was great too! Overall a great experience. Thumbs up 👍🏽
I had heard so many great things about this place so me and my family wanted to give them a try. We had the 2 meat BBQ plate with chicken and pulled pork. It had 2 sides macaroni and baked beans. I'm not going to lie the meat is definitely da bomb, the flavor is there. It just was too cold for my liking. The sides aren't all that, and they were cold as well. We also had the fried chicken sandwich melt. I was expecting like a chicken breast but it was 2 chicken tenders. It was hot a fresh and it was good but not something I would order again. For 2 adult meals and a kid meal it was $53.00, not overly priced but the food portions could be better. Planned on going back to try the breakfast.
The bartender who took our order was friendly and helpful, letting us know it was happy hour at the bar. The ribs were ok, not hot, but ok. We ate there for breakfast the next morning and it was ok, not spectacular, but ok. We could walk from our hotel, so it was convenient.
I am so glad I Made it to the Southern Grill before leaving Jacksonville! I must say this is the best place I ate at in 2 weeks and wish I would have found it sooner. The staff was very friendly and helpful the food was delicious I definitely recommend any and everyone to eat here!!! The BBQ was tender and the rice and gravy and the BBQ baked beans were delicious also. I got my oder to go which only took about 10 mins! I sat at the bat while waiting and the bar tender/waitress even made me a nice breakfast drink I believe she called it a vodka sunrise 🌅 🍹 I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!!! This is a must eat bar and grill 100% Recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Find a seat, order at the bar and help yourself to the drink station for your drinks. Food was great. The Rye toast was thick and yummy ❤️
The coffee station has about eight different types of coffee , ranging from bold to blueberry New England.
Happy hour looks pretty amazing as far as drinks go. Outdoor covered patio. Big bathrooms to accommodate their customers. I just hate when there is only one bathroom for mom and pop place that serves 100 🤣
Anyway, not here. Great food and strong coffee 😊 Full service Bar.
First time visiting. Went here for breakfast before hitting the road back to GA. The customer service and hospitality was great. The food was good. I usually have problems with my eggs not being cooked well but these were perfect. The bacon could’ve been better. The drink, coffee and condiments are self serve. The service was fast. I’ll definitely be going back when I return to Jacksonville.
