On Flagler Avenue on the Southbank, The Southern Grill has been a Jacksonville eat-and-socialize stop since 1998. The kitchen covers breakfast, hickory-smoked BBQ, sandwiches and wraps, Greek platters, and vegetarian plates, with live music nights and weekday happy hour from 4 to 7.

Use it for an early breakfast before Southbank riverwalk miles or a later BBQ and music evening. Hours run early on weekdays and stretch to 10 PM most nights, with a dedicated breakfast window in the morning.

One Flagler Avenue room can cover breakfast through evening music without forcing a second stop across the river, which is why it earns a place on a Southbank day.
