Calling all foodies!

We have 2 friends from Clemson coming to stay with us briefly this week. They're major foodies so I wanted to take them somewhere good that was somewhat unique to Jacksonville (in other words, none of the chains in the town center). I don't want anywhere super expensive and I was thinking something with an interesting beer selection since I know they like to try different types of beer. I know River City has interesting beer but other than that I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

ETA: They're broke grad students but I know they'll fight me on paying the bill so I'm thinking $15 and under per plate max.

  • Totally forgot about Kickbacks. Never had their food, but they have an amazing albeit overwhelming beer selection.

    I've never even heard of most of these. We've been back in Jax almost a year and clearly haven't explored enough. 

    I think we ordered takeout from Kickback's the night of our wedding when we got back to our hotel room. It's downtown right?

  • I second European Street. Great sandwiches and a huge selection of beer.

    Kickbacks is on King street down in the Riverside area & it's amazing. We're seriously in love with this place! Both beer and food are wonderful. The food would be classifeied as "Gastro Pub" and the whole place has such a cool vibe to it. We always take out of towners here.

  • Caps on the Water, hands down.

    They have some pricier dishes on their menu but staying around $15 per person and still having a great meal is entirely doable with their menu selection.

    We take all out of town guests there.  There's nothing like it anywhere else that I've been to.

  • We love Caps and European Street.. yum!

  • You ladies are awesome. Now I have lots of choices. This is making me rethink my choice of restaurant for tomorrow too.

  • I like Caps, but also Barbara Jean's in Ponte Vedra. they are right on the intracoastal and have a beautiful deck!
    Visit The Nest!
  • Another place with a wide beer selection is Engine 15. It is pub food, so nothing spectacular.
  • Tacolu's would be fun!  Cheapish, but cool atmosphere and the best tacos I've ever had.

    No one has mentioned Biscottis?  It would be close, but you could do $15 a plate.  My salad there is $11 or $12.  There's also The Brick and Blue Finn over there (I think that's what it is?  Used to be Sterlings?) but I'm not sure about prices.  

    Also ditto whoever said Caps and Barbara Jeans.

    LB, I appreciate your love affair with Biscotti's. I really do.

  • Ragtime is one of my favorite restaurants in Jax, and my out-of-towners always love it.

    I just feel obligated to mention Biscottis when people ask for recs.  Embarrassed
