The Florida Restaurant That Has Remastered Deep South Cuisine

Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from all the normal restaurants that are on your list and consider something you haven’t tried before. Maybe you have a go-to Southern food spot in Florida that you frequent when the craving hits, but what about trying something new? We have a restaurant in Jacksonville Beach that is both modernized and traditional, with a remastering of Deep South cuisine that will blow you away.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

If you’re itching for some delicious Southern food that has been remastered in the best possible way, we have the ideal restaurant for you.

Gilbert’s Southern Kitchen + Bar in Jacksonville, Florida offers visitors a menu of traditional yet modern Southern fare from one of the best chefs around.

You’ll get a Southern-style menu of crispy fried chicken, creamy mac and cheese, hints of BBQ, with an emphasis on seafood.

It’s pretty rare to find a Southern-style restaurant that offers fried chicken sliders with a side of crisp ocean views.

The menu is a pleasant assortment of cold plates—like fresh ceviche, smoked conch dip, and house smoked Tasso ham…

…and hot dishes like skillet cornbread, BLT biscuits, smoked pork belly burnt ends, and blue crab hushpuppies to name a few.

Every once in a while a special plate will pop up and have you clamoring to get a table—like the beer-beer-battered catfish.

They even have a brunch menu filled with all of your favorites that is the perfect way to kick off a weekend morning.

And while you’re at it, don’t forget the dessert…because what is a true Southern meal without fresh, homemade pie?

Head on over to Gilbert's Southern Kitchen & Bar and get a dose of Deep South cuisine in an entirely new way.
