This is my third time dining at this restaurant , and I’ve never been disappointed by their food or customer service. Dustin, the cook, is a mastermind. My meal was cooked to perfection. I opted for the smothered grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, and onion rings. I must admit, I devoured the entire meal. The chicken was tender and juicy, the broccoli was cooked to perfection, and the onion rings were simply divine. I can confidently say that I will definitely be returning to this place.

Nice spot, no pretentious, it looks a bit like an Irish pub that serves food, with a small stage (they might have some live music some days).
Some good old rock music not loud in the background (I love it)
As we order and wait for our food, all kinds of people arrived, young couple’s friends, some seniors, some family with kids, very relaxed and lay back.
Food was good at decent prices (good portions)
Our server was super nice.
We loved the whole experience.

This was the best burger I believe I have ever eaten. It was almost too much for one person to eat. My wife got the Reuben sandwich and she said it was good. We opted for the onion rings and they were good. I wish we lived closer so we could come more often.
The notice at the entrance of the store made me want to eat there, no matter what

We were on our way back to Jacksonville after a morning at the Waldo Flea Market when we decided to give this place a try. That was a great decision because this place was so good! Have to admit our expectations were not very high but we were pleasantly surprised. Our servers were so friendly and quick to bring our drinks and food. My chicken salad croissant was very tasty and obviously house-made. Fries were crispy and fresh although I had to add a little salt. I posted 2 pics so you could see how much was on the plate and a pic of a bite so you could see the chicken salad. My husband loved his Rueben and onion rings, sorry there’s no picture. Both sandwiches, including the sides plus soft drinks were less than $30. We are definitely going back so we can try the shrimp!

This is a hole-in-the-wall kind of restaurant nestled in the downtown historical district of Starke. Its a wonderful atmosphere, with cool decoration on the walls and a bar theme in the back. The service was excellent as well-our server was nice, attentive, and fast.
The food was really good, hot and fresh, and full of flavor. I will note that it was incredibly greasy (it dripped out at every bite), but not the kind of greasy from a fast food place, it was flavorful. I reccomend this cute little place for sure, whether you are a local or passerby through the town.

In Starke’s downtown historical area, awesome building if they would CLEAN it up. The food was good and a very diverse menu. Full service bar so you can order a wide range of drinks. Friendly staff but not very attentive. Overall a good visit.

This amazing place was recommended by my girlfriend’s nurse. Thank you to her. You can’t go wrong with the Shotgun Shrimp and the Fried Fish Sandwich w/ onion rings. The experience was perfect, including the atmosphere and our waitress.

I have had burgers from all over the country. I am by know means an expert, but the Cajun Cowboy Burger is hands down on my list of top three burgers I have ever had. Though the whole burger was amazing, the bacon was out of this world. I also had the shotgun shrimp for an appetizer, I was not disappointed. I can see why it is a local favorite. The service was fast and very polite.

My son and I recently dined at Downtown Grill, and it was his first visit to the restaurant. He absolutely loved the food! We ordered buffalo wings as an appetizer and burgers for our main course—both were excellent. The wings arrived piping hot and fresh, and my son said it was one of the best burgers he has ever had. Shantel, our server, was phenomenal and truly top-tier customer service. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!
