I had high expectations for this place but was a little disappointed.I didn't have the experience I wanted, starting with the service 👎I thought there would be suggestions when choosing, for example the Collard Green, Garlic Shrimp dish is just that, it doesn't come with any accompaniment or side, we asked everything separately.I think the concept is good but the menu should be improved...trio of Biscuits (a little dry and all three taste the same) with different "butters", jams for dinner? Some dishes have sides, others don't, a little confusing, but it would have been nice to have good service that would advise you, suggest you in that sense, but the truth that is not the place.Overpriced for the experience.

Good morning.We are a fast casual concept.We are not a full service dining experience.You selected an appetizer Shrimp, individual catfish, Mac and cheese.Then a trio of biscuits which is bread service starter. The menu is very clear. https://meetatsilkies.com/jacksonville-springfield-silkie-s-chicken-and-champagne-bar-food-menu You read the menu board or the menu handed out if you had trouble seeing the board or pull QR code? up the menu on your phone via QR code? We have been fast casual since day one back I can h in November 2020. I would love it if you would read the menu link to see the options.
Hands down, this restaurant deserves 10 stars ⭐️! The food, service and ambiance are top notch.I am a property owner in the area and this location adds value to the community and puts Jacksonville on the map! Our group ordered different items and after sampling everything, you cannot go wrong anywhere.My 🔝 choice is the shrimp and grits bowl.In the south, it is a compliment to say the chef “stuck their foot in it.” I’m thinking about it now and cannot wait to go back.By far one of the best restaurants in Florida!! Did I mention the shrimp and grits bowl is OUTSTANDING (and has collard greens in it?) The professional, courteous, knowledgeable staff make it all a winning combination.Thank you for a wonderful experience! 🤩

Thank you Tanya!!!
My wife and I went to Silkie’s with my cousins and the by ourselves, and again with some friends who were in town for the weekend.We’ve been there 3 times in the past 2 weeks.Chef Gilbert and the staff are second to none.Seriously ridiculous good food. Wicked awesome my wife would say.The oxtails are amazing, ask for grits instead of rice if you’re looking for brunch for dinner.The biscuits…bless their hearts.I cannot say anything that will live up to the experience that is Silkie’s.Go and enjoy for yourself.No reservations and advisable to get there early, also beer, wine and champagne only no liquor. I will finish with a kudos to the staff, they are welcoming and genuine.I enjoyed every single second in this restaurant and it was a privilege receiving their hospitality.
