Beach Road Chicken - best restaurant in Jacksonville, FL

Take a break from all those fancy, high-priced restaurants when you’re visiting Jacksonville, and go visit Beach Road Chicken Dinners.

Best restaurant in town if you’re looking for a hearty, Southern meal. It’s a Jacksonville establishment. It’s so old, it was built back when Atlantic Blvd. was the only road in town that led to the beach – thus, the name.

They give you a mess of old-time, fried chicken, and then serve you heaping bowls of fixins,’ like mashed potatoes, gravy, cole slaw, and especially the cream peas. You want more, you just heap ‘em on your plate. You will never go away from this place hungry. The waitresses are friendly, the tea is sweet and they don’t fool with stuff like ambience – it just happens naturally. I have family that’s eaten there for 40 years.
