Food Scene
A Jacksonville favorite, Pataya Tai is family owned and operated. We would frequent their other location for many years. This is the spot for the best drunken noodles/ pad kee mou.

Treat yourself like royalty at this fine dining experience! Ruth's Chris Steak House is a cut above anything else you have ever had. The only other place I know to get steak such as this is on Holland America Line cruise ships in their Pinnacle Grill.

Brazilian steak houses have popped up around Jacksonville, but Terra Gaucha remains my personal favorite. If you have never experienced a Brazilian steak house, check this place out. You will not be disappointed. For price and value the best time to go is lunch any day Monday through Friday. The price is about half what you will pay on evenings and weekends.

This little old-school diner has been here since forever and for good reason! It's a great little place to grab a home-style breakfast or country style lunch or dinner. They have a great reuben sandwich! There may be a little wait if you go during peak breakfast and/or lunch, but they move pretty quickly. It's worth the wait.
