Now I realize I can get arguments about my 5 star rating, but here's why.
It has been open almost 70 years, doing the same thing in the same location. You see lines out the door often, but very little waiting.
There is an old time atmosphere, the kind of place you wear shorts and flip flops to. The waitresses call you "Sugar" and "Honey", and the food, with the exception of the Chicken is served family style, which means unending bowls of Sweet Creamed Peas, Mashed Potatoes, the best french fries you ever had...(ask them to cook them crispy for you, they come out hot as hell, and you dip them in the bowl of gravy!)...and the Chicken...
And the Chicken! The best fried chicken I've ever had, anywhere. Period!
I understand the owner is present every single minute it's open and you can see why that matters. Very fast service, and consistent food.
Take my advice, it's a must visit place if you are ever in Jacksonville.
By the way, they do a booming take out business as well.
I also want to point out that even though I may sound like it's too good to be true...and that I must be the owner myself, suffice it to say, that I'm just a 52 year old, who has been eating there since I was 8!
