Silkie's Chicken And Champagne

Ohhhhh why oh why is this place so tasty? Maybe because it?s in a building oozing with character and history in one of the oldest parts of Jacksonville? Or maybe it?s sweet turtle that greets you as you enter or the lovely patio seating out back? Andmaybe.. just maybe it?s the award winning, Top Chef season 7 winner and chef Kenny G (Gilbert)! His food? well it?s art. Theatmosphere and sweet staff only add to it! We truly enjoyed our chicken biscuits, garnished with Korean spices and sauce as wellas our bowls and crazy good sides. The Mac n cheese.. well that?s probably the show stopper! The truffle smoked Gouda is full ofa flavorful mouth watering goodness! Add some champagne, homemade lemonade and scratch made desserts and.. well you well keepwanting to eat more! YUM YUM!

My husband I have been wanting to try Silkie's for a while we FINALLY made it today for a mid-afternoon lunch. To say the least, it did not disappoint! The biscuits were all perfectly baked came with a delicious array of butters jams. Ourbrûléed baby brie starter was flavorful (hello cilantro! the mimosas in our mimosa flight were all so refreshing unique,we had trouble choosing our favorite. Last but not least, we ordered the Florida Cake for dessert enjoyed every last bite.Thank you to Chef Kenny his staff for an excellent meal! We will definitely be back!

Ordered carry out online everything was great! The flavor bomb sandwich pickled veggies with a side of loaded fingerling potatoes were phenomenal. Staff was friendly, there were signs outside explaining how to order and what is self serve. Insidethings were also clearly labeled ?self serve? so there was no confusion! Food was great, staff was kind, atmosphere was cool,very well thought out :

I can't say anything other than purely AMAZING! The flavors are surprising and just explode in your mouth. My chicken and waffles were really good but I feel like I should have gotten the biscuits and gravity. I thought it would be the white gravitybut it is this flavored filled sauce that will surprise you in a great way! Please do yourself a favor and hurry here! We wereespecially excited to see Chef Kenny Gilbert making plates himself!! The vibe is chilled as well and the music was nice! Such awonderful experience!

The restaurant has a nice concept. My food was delicious. The portion sizes were adequate. The location was in a sketchy area. I didn?t like that I had to fix my own drink and get my own utensils especially because this place it a sit down restaurant. Thelemonade container was out of lemonade the entire time I was there and the sweet tea was not sweet at all.
