My husband and I have tried many restaurants in Fernandina and Jacksonville. We have enjoyed many great experiences and learned from the worst. Here is a list of some great places to dine and others to avoid.

Home style and Country Cooking:

Barbara Jeans: Located on A1A across the bridge into Fernandina. There you will find dishes like roast beef and gravy with a choice of veggies that include sweet corn nuggets, butter squash and green beans among others. They serve jalapeno bread and a verity of others to start your meal. You can also dine outside on the deck where you have the beauty of a flower garden which smells lovely.

Spankys: is located right behind Barbara Jeans and have a warm rustic yet casual atmosphere. They have a comfortable sitting room apart from the tables that has a fireplace and TV. There is a bar and tables. The outside deck overlooks a pond where there are live gators. They serve great fish sandwiches and gator tail! They also have some of the best home style cooking.

Murrays: is located on A1A next to Winn Dixie in Yulee before Fernandina. They have a country atmosphere with upstairs and downstairs dining. Their fried mushrooms and fried green tomatoes are a hit with the locals. They start you off with freshly baked rolls and cinnamon or regular butter. They have picnic benches outside for smokers.

Chinese:

Down Under: is located up under the bridge going into Fernandina. It has a verity of great seafood dishes which include lobster bisque. There is a deck where you can sometimes see dolphins swimming and playing nearby.

The Surf: is located on Fletcher off of Saddler Road in Fernandina. So if you are headed towards the beaches of Fernandina, check it out. They serve $5.99 lobster every Sunday. There is a deck or if you prefer, you can eat inside. Its right across the street from the ocean, so we love to sit on the deck where we could see it better.
