Attended a work dinner this evening at The Homestead Restaurant in Jacksonville Beach, FL. VERY disappointed with the quality of the food. This is a perfect example of a great thing gone bad. To make a long story short, The Homestead was institution in our community for at least 30 years. Their claim to fame was family style southern cooking, a.k.a. fried chicken. The restaurant was housed in an old house and the food was absolutely phenomenal and affordable at the same time.
Inevitably good things always seem to go bad when it comes to awesome restaurants in Jacksonville. The Homestead has been "gentrified." They cleaned up the place, added karaoke (for retirees), increased the prices and started offering cocktails. In the process they ruined the fried chicken and good southern cooking that made them famous. My dish was not heated correctly and had too much salt. The appetizers were pretty horrible and also served at the incorrect temperature. They brough biscuits and cornbread muffins with no butter or honey.... needless to say we were upset.
I definitely do not recommend this restaurant any longer for those dining in Jacksonville Beach.
