JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As protests and vigils continue in Jacksonville and across the nation over the death of George Floyd, many are choosing to show their support by spending money at black-owned businesses and restaurants.
Local food blog “Jacksonville Restaurant Reviews” compiled a list of all the black-owned restaurants in the River City.
The group said putting money into the black community is one way to help the current fight for equality.
Restaurant owner Thomas Jones is in the business of feeding hungry mouths and hungry hearts.
Jones and his family are the backbone of “Shut Em Down Authentic Southern Restaurant,” one of the restaurants featured on the list below, created by Jax Restaurant Reviews.
“We only cook with love in these parts,” Jones said. “They called the Soul Food because when you cook you cook with your soul you pass it on to someone else and they feel the same thing.”
The list below is categorized by what side of town the restaurants are on, by food trucks, and by desserts.
