Southbank Johnnie's

Good food and good service. Stay here for work a few times a year and always plan on eating here

This place doesn't have god food options. Staff is very nice and friendly. They need to add more seafood or Vegetarian options. Not a bad place at all

Fantastic staff that went out of their way to get us food when we arrived at the hotel late after getting delayed flying in.

We were staying at the hotel for a football game and didn't arrive until later in the afternoon. After settling in after a long day, we went downstairs and decided to grab some food and drinks. We were to we could sit wherever we want, so we grabbed a seat. Mia showed up rather quick, with a huge smile. Very friendly and did a wonderful job. We started with a couple of drinks, quite good, many times a hotel bar just does basic beers/wine, and easy drinks with mixers. We were pleasantly surprised, great drinks. We both ordered the brisket. I will say it's a huge portion of food. The downside, the brisket was very fatty, it didn't taste bad, and I wasn't expecting the most amazing thing ever, but it was so/so. The table next to us had the same thing and loved it. Maybe we just are spoiled as far as BBQ goes living around so many places devoted to only that. Other than that, we had a great time, great service, and fun atmosphere

What makes Johnnies 5 stars is the staff. Will behind the bar really brings everything together. He is very knowledgeable about the drinks that the bar offers as well as suggestions on things to do while visiting Jacksonville. The bar itself is very well set up, and very clean. Small enough that you can enjoy a drink by yourself but big enough that you can have dinner with the family. My burger came out perfect! The fries were crispy, just how I ordered them. Also ordered the chicken wings which were superb! Will definitely be eating here again.

The food was really good. I was surprised because usually hotel food is crap. I didn't feel like going out Vi went down stairs and I had an awesome time at the bar and enjoyed my good.

Just save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else! No servers. Bartender trying to tend the bar and wait tables. Frozen margaritas? Nope. Got water and unsweet tea. Water had black specks floating. Tea was definitely sweet. Cesar salad came with No Dressing. Flatbread was decent, but cheese on top was cold. Maybe should've been melted?!? Leaky roof dripped on my shoulder. Ugh. No refills. Took forever to get the ticket. Never again.

Excellent food great drinks and the staff are impeccable at paying attention to the customers.The hours are 4-10pm Mon thru Thursday 4-11 Fri Sat and Sunday

Great bar & food! The service was outstanding. Nice place to relax and enjoy good drinks!

I saw good reviews and expected great things... however I actually paid $40 for a bland rice bowl and mediocre brisket. How can they charge $18 for a bowl of rice, veggies, and beef and make it flavorless. Unbelievably disappointing
