Very friendly and welcoming service. The oxtails and Gouda grits are a must try. The portions are very healthy. Will come back to try more of their offerings. Get the biscuit!

Found this place on TikTok as an “out of towner” just winging it. Definitely happy with my choice! The home fries were seasoned and cooked so well. The biscuits and gravy were great! The ManMiosa was the best with great selections. I would like to shout out our bartender/server Brian who was absolutely amazing. It was extremely busy but he made sure our order was right, he checked in even with running from the bar to the front of the house tables. He dealt with issues from customers near us but he was still very attentive and respectful. Thank you Brian, you are the reason we will be back!

Soulful, chill, aromas, relaxation. Just some of the ways you'll describe this Jacksonville gem. Sit inside or out, you'll be blowing off the workweek away with their mimosas and waffles... or ox tail... or! If you meet Christine, you meet a woman with 12 arms. She was handling everything! She probably served a couple of drinks to the next did restaurant while not skipping a beat here. She nails from the Daytona scene and know here stuff. Got the orders, drinks, refills, conversations, and everything else just right. She helped me find my way to their red velvet waffles, grits and eggs. My hunger didn't know what was coming and could not prepare of it did. These waffles were so fluffy and good, I didn't even need syrup. I'm picky myself on grits as well. They came through with their grits, just warm-n-smooth. The sneak attack was their thick sausage links. I just smothered them proper-like with grits and went to town. This place has a lot of special and they tell me they change all the time. You got to try this place out. You won't regret it.

Uptown has been the best dining experience we’ve had in Jacksonville since moving from Chicago! The food was absolutely delicious, and our server Roberta made the experience even better with her friendly and attentive service. We would definitely recommend this spot and will absolutely be returning!
