“ I got the reg burger! It's delicious, 8/10, my husband got the big spliff, he said it was 7/10, he would have preferred steak slices over steak chunks. Drinks are always good with a wide selection of beer, mixed drinks, and other offerings. Service is great order at counter and get a number, food arrives fairly quickly, and the vibes of the bar are amazing, chill laid back bar, watch the game, hang with friends, it's a must try in Jax! ”
“ Divey bar with solid food. Order at the counter and take a number back to your table. Food delivered in a reasonable time frame. Mac and cheese, rice bowls, and burgers were represented at our table. No complaints, plates cleaned. Steady patronage on a Tuesday early evening. ”
“ I was on a quest for food. Not only did I find a great place but they had quite the array of drinks...if your looking for that. I had the pork belly grilled cheese with Mac N Cheese. Located in DT Jacksonville, it's a convenient joint to check out no matter what takes you there. ”
“ This is a total dive bar ambiance with world class Mac n cheese, great drinks, and amazing service! ”
“ Great beer selection and good variety of food options. I had the chef special French dip with a side of chips. It was the perfect portion size and delicious. There is a lot of seating but much of it is bar stools/counter along the windows. The service is fast so tables open up quickly though. ”
“ Spliff's is basically a bar that serves upscale sandwiches. Think Bar first and restaurant second. Although the food was good, it takes A LONG time. Keep this in mind if you stop here before a show at the Florida Theater (next door practically) or the Jacksonville Symphony (few blocks away). Go when you have to relax, grab a couple of beers and get a decent sandwich. I had the "patty melt". First, they use Texas toast and not Rye bread (they list this on the menu, so not a complaint, just an observation). The burgers were cooked great (although I seriously doubt they were 1/3 pound each like the menu claims). My complaint - the onions were Red onions and MOSTLY RAW. Not caramelized they should be. My wife got the Cajun chicken sandwich. This was good. Cooked nice and flavorful. My last complain is the size of the "sides". They are not sides but samples. Think small ketchup take out containers. My pasta salad had 4 noodles, and I am not kidding. My wife's mac and cheese wasn't much better. For $15 sandwiches, I expect more. I know prices are high but adjust prices and give decent portions. One last observation - they don't say this on their menu (or if they do it is not obvious). They Buffalo chicken sandwich uses Carolina Reaper peppers. Be warned! ”
“ Great corner local bar and restaurant l0cated downtown Jax. Don't judge a book by its cover! The food is amazing and I've never had a bad experience. Vast gastro pub choices. Service is great and swag available. Fave is hard to narrow down The mac and cheese bowls kick a##. The shrimp bowl is my fave. We always end up there when going to Florida Theatre. It's right next door!!! ”
“ Came here just minutes before they were closing but they were nice enough to let us order! I wanted to try their salad with the added protein chicken but I guess they must of confused it with some other salad which was okay it was a miscommunication which is fine I tried it but it wasn't my cup of tea honestly it lack so much flavor. But I tried the Mac and cheese my partner got which was good just didn't like the bread crumbs on the top of it but the Mac and cheese was AMAZING! Good place ! ”
“ Tasty fun drinks and some cheesy yummy food ! So much is so cheesy! I LOVED the sandwich!!! They were so nice to split it in half for us and give us mac n cheese on our own plates. I also really liked my drink. Very juice for sure. A great drink for me ! I'd love to try the entree mac n cheese next time ! The side mac wasn't great flavor wise but it was still a good accompaniment to the sando! Sandwich was amazing!!!! My gf just didn't get a lot of filling on her half. But i was happy with mine lol maybe all her filling slid over to my half. Love that it's open late i can't wait to come here again ! ”
“ Spliff's has been on our radar for a while now. We finally planned a little burger lunch date. We walked in, checked out the menu then ordered at the bar. Hubby ordered an IPA and the patty melt my face with a side salad. I ordered the regs burger with pepper-jack cheese and the Greek pasta salad. The burgers were very good. Everything was made to order and tasted fresh. The burger meat had good flavor and the cheese was melted well. I really enjoyed the Greek pasta salad, too. The feta cheese and olives were lovely additions. I thought hubby's side salad was fresh and yummy as well. He really enjoyed his patty melt. I had a couple bites and would order it next time. The bartender was friendly, they had tasty food and a nice variety of local beer. Overall, a good lunch spot! ”
