    Sensational restaurant. I would say "hidden gem" but I suspect it is well known to many. From the tomato soup, the pork chops, shrimp and grits, burgers, and then ..... coffee and donuts. Amazing all around. Rivals the best restaurants I have ever been to. The staff was perfect as well. I can't wait to return.

    Southern chicken was disappointing. Chicken itself was crispy and well cooked but under seasoned. Served on top of Mashed potato’s and 5 green beans. Could Have benefited from a nice peppery milk gravy.

    I typically love the honey chicken, but the pieces were quite small and the breading was dry and overwhelming. My companions' shrimp and fish entrees were good..........but not memorable. Did 29 South change chefs from prior years............the desserts......flourless chocolate cake with butter pecan ice cream and the donut/coffee ice cream in the mug............were superb as usual.............but overall, a disappointing experience.

    I have been to this restaurant many times and have always been happy. This time the food was not as good. I had the short ribs and they were over cooked. The potatoes however were under cooked. This was a busy weekend On the island so I am hoping that it was just a fluke.

    One of favorite eateries in Fernandina Beach. Excellent food, attentive service. Limited seating inside so reservations are a must in cool weather.

    Great food. Unusual food combos which added to the positive food experience. Wait staff seemed stretched too thin to be attentive to the customer
