Reviews for Silkie's Chicken and Champagne Bar in Jacksonville, FL

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! Read more

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! Read more

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 :) Read more

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! Read more

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. Read more

Loved it. Point blank. We sat outside and ordered 2 sandwiches plus a bottle for mimosas. We went around 2pm on a Friday and it... wasn?t busy. We got a chance to sit and enjoy our food with great and friendly staff. Go it?s truly a gem within Springfield. Read more

It?s champagne and fried chicken y?all! It doesn?t get any better than that. Chef Kenny is so talented that even Oprah is a fan!... And is there any wonder why? He?s the real deal, hard working, talented chef! Crispy fried chicken, gourmet southern biscuits,house made pickles, mouthwatering mac and cheese? and did I mention the champagne? Y?all. Let me say it one more time. Champagneand fried chicken. It doesn?t get any more Penney Farms Princess than that? a little fancy, and a little country, all rolledinto one. Read more

Hands down, the best restaurant addition to Jacksonville over the past 2 years. If you?re looking for a place where they TRULY... know food and which combinations of ingredients actually complement each other, this is it. Go with whatever their specials are,but always get a biscuit and Mac n cheese just as a side! Read more
