Shut Em Down Authentic Southern Restaurant

This place is a great find located near Edgewood & I-10. I work in the area and always looking for something other than BBQ (which is great in the area). I'm looking forward to going back and trying several of their offering.I had the curry chicken with Lima beans and cabbage. Everything was cooked perfectly. The curry chicken was not too strong and the portion size was just right for lunch.Pros:* Staff is friendly* All the food was seasoned well (not too much salt, etc).* Ready to go in a few minutes* Plenty of seating if you want to eat in* CleanI'll be back to try some more of the menu.

Small dine-in setting. The young lady who took my order at the counter was super patient and friendly while I figured out what I wanted.The fried chicken and corn bread were top notch! The chicken isn't overstated, but it's the perfect down home southern recipe which pairs perfectly with some hot sauce. The corn bread was so soft and buttery, I could barely pick it up to eat it. The greens were solid and the mac was just okay. But I will definitely be back to have more of this fried chicken and give some other entrees and sides a shot!

Hot juicy fried chicken made to order. Arrived to eat a late lunch at 3pm and everything was hot and made to order just like peak lunch or dinner time. Corn bread is delicious and Mac and cheese might be the best I've ever had. Really solid southern fried food here!

Hot out the kitchen. Always a great lunch. Highly recommend. 10/10. Everyone on the team enjoyed everything!

Went for the pork chops with black eyed peas, cabbage, and cornbread. Everything was cooked to perfection. Taylor, who took my order, was super awesome with the customer service. This cozy little place is a solid 10 in my book.

Tender, juicy, hot, delicious are the words to describe the fried chicken we had here. There was a wait on the chicken, wait is so worth it. The staff were friendly and accomodating. Place was clean.

Love love loveeee this southern restaurant. It tastes very authentic so the name doesn't lie. I've ordered from here 3-4 times I believe. Every single time the order is fresh, whether it's picked up or delivered on doordash. The portions are great and filling & the value is there as well! Reasonable prices. My only complaint is the liquid of the yams are always too syrupy, but overall I rate it a 9.8/10. If you're looking for a good soul food spot in town, stop here & check them out. Wish I could hug whoever is making the corn bread & fried chicken

Mercy me, was Shut Em Down incredible!!! Authentic southern food that was incredibly comforting. Everything was delicious and as a southerner I would like to mention that they have greens done right, along with cornbread. The staff went above and beyond with customer service and were once helpful. I am pretty sure I have now told every one of my coworkers about this place as well because life is too short to gate keep amazing food! I wish I had taken some photos but I was too busy chowing down to think of it

Looking for the best fried chicken in Jacksonville? I think we found it. What I like about Shut 'Em Down is the cook to order process. Yeah, you have to wait a bit, but the wait is worth it when you get that freshly cooked, hot off the press fried chicken and then pair it with their southern style sidings. So many siding choices. We picked cabbage-rice combo and Mac-n-cheese. Both were outstanding. Still craving it and would like to come back for some more.

The service , atmosphere, and food was great. The young man at the counter made sure you had everything you needed upon giving you your order.
