They are even throwing the recipes for their famous chicken dinners in with the sale, which will also include the building, the parking lot and the wooded area behind the restaurant, the Record reports.

Open Tuesday through Sunday, the restaurant has been a favorite for many in Jacksonville since Atlantic Boulevard was the only accessible road to the beach -- hence the name, "Beach Road" Chicken Dinners.

The menu includes fried chicken, french fries, mashed potatoes, gravy, coleslaw, creamed peas and delightful little biscuits.
