I want to share with you my review of Monkey’s Uncle Tavern in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. We want to share with you why my family enjoys having dinner here.
In this review, we’ll discuss the:
- Restaurant location
- Restaurant atmosphere & events
- Food
Location
The restaurant is in a great location. We actually picked it the first night of a Jacksonville Beach vacation because of its proximity to our hotel. We were staying at the Fairfield Inn Jacksonville Beach, which is a hotel across the street from the beach. So it’s not only close to that hotel, but other near the beach, such as the Hampton Inn Jacksonville Beach Oceanfront.
Monkey’s Uncle Tavern Atmosphere & Events
The restaurant has a fun atmosphere. There are other fun things you can do at the restaurant with your family and friends besides eating, drinking, and the events. You can play pool, darts, video games or enjoy what’s playing on all of their TVs. We watched some qualifying events for the Olympics while we ate.
They also have a lot of great special events.
Events you could expect here include:
- Bingo Nights
- Trivia Night
- Karaoke Nights
In fact, they’ve received awards from Folio Weekly Magazine for Best Karaoke Night in Jax.
Monkey’s Uncle Tavern Food Review
But ultimately, we choose restaurants for the food, right? Well, the food alone is definitely a reason to choose Monkey’s Uncle Tavern! First of all, they have a wonderful menu full of so many dishes we wanted to try. My mom commented that we could eat here every night of our vacation and have a completely different dish and be happy. The biggest problem we had all night was narrowing down our choices!
But we were glad with the entrees we did pick. Let me highlight three great entree items you can get at Monkey’s Uncle Tavern.
Cobb Salad
I debated about ordering seafood because we were on the beach. But the Cobb Salad looked too good for me to pass up. I really love Cobb Salads with avocado, egg, bacon, and blue cheese crumbles. I love the combination of those four foods so much. This was a really great salad and I really loved it.
Chef’s Salad
My sister had the Chef’s Salad and she loved it. The food was great together and the croutons were really soft. This is another menu item we definitely recommend here.
Traditional Patty Melt
My mother had the Traditional Patty Melt along with the garlic mashed potatoes. She said all of it (the burger, potatoes, etc.) was so delicious.
Conclusion
The Monkey’s Uncle Tavern in Jacksonville Beach, Florida is a wonderful choice for a restaurant to go to during a beach vacation. There are a lot of fun things to do at the restaurant, liked themed nights, pool, and more. But the main reason to visit is the delicious food. We know everyone in your family will be able to find something on the menu they will like. So next time you are traveling to Jacksonville Beach, make sure you get a meal at the Monkey’s Uncle Tavern!
