One thing about Jacksonville: it’s always full of surprises. While the city is known for many amazing things, its food scene is the true icing on the cake.

For instance, did you know Burger King was born in Jacksonville? So was Firehouse Subs. Those are just some of the popular restaurant chains that got their start here. Discover more hometown favorites and local legends here.

Along with globally-known restaurant chains, Jacksonville is home to a vibrant array of local delicacies that you won’t find anywhere else. When you visit, be sure to try a dish featuring Mayport shrimp (unless you're allergic to shellfish, of course).
