Lillian's Sports Grill

Monday night Trivia at Lillian’s is always a great time. Tonight was a good night. Crissie was our server and as always did a great job keeping everyone happy. Service was great and so was the food.

The wings are delicious! I first tried on door dash and wanted to go in person and I can’t stop thinking about them lol the blue cheese is probably the best blue cheese I have ever had. I bought a container of it to keep at home 😂 it’s a dive bar so nothing fancy which I prefer. The service is great. Our server was so kind and she let me try the clam chowder and it was so yummy. I will definitely get it next time. My hubby got the loaded hotdog and thought it was great. I saw they have daily specials which is nice! I am glad I found this place!

The food and service is really good and shout out to our server Sarah D.! She is sweet and nice 🙂! Give her a raise or something!

Lunch with a friend. Sarah D. was the perfect waitress, kept our drinks filled and never hovered. Plus, she let me completely change my order when the kitchen did not have enough shrimp to fill my dinner choice. BTW: the Reuben was excellent and the green beans were even better than I remembered! Definitely worth the drive from Middleburg!

We ordered ahead and picked up chicken wings. They were ready to go at the time I requested. Very good wings! Would highly recommend.

My Fiance and I live only a few minutes form this place, but never went until yesterday. Everything was pretty great! Our server was awesome and very nice! The food was great, especially the wings! I loved the chill experience that we got. We will most definitely be back soon and often!

This place is a hidden 💎 Gem. Great food and the price is right. You have to try thr food out for your self.

The burgers are huge and everything is reasonably priced. It's the same prices as before covid... The burger is cheaper than 5 guys and it comes with french-fries.

The food was excellent and of course the drinks were on point! Our service was great and we had a good time with our waitress!

We had a great time at Lillian’s Bingo (JT is a great bingo host)!! The food was delicious (grilled salmon Caesar salad), and Michelle was very professional!

Best neighborhood bar in town! The food is great and inline with American cuisine but they also some southern comfort food mixed in with creative specials. The atmosphere is fun with whatever sporting events are currently taking place. Lillian’s also has some additional events going on most nights of the week, including bingo, trivia, open mic and live music from popular local bands. They even have a game room for the kids. Overall I can speak highly enough of them.

Always enjoy being at Lillians! The food is always terrific, the servers, especially Abby, Autumn, Amber (the A team!) and Kristi (the sweetest!) are exceptional, and the atmosphere is very folksy (tho could use some decor upgrades?!) It’s a long time, favorite watering hole for our area!

The food is always good. Service today was spectacular. Very comfortable place. Been many times and will continue.

I’m one the new tenants in the shopping center , Jax Mortgage Loans - Suite 11, help buyers with bad credit become mortgage ready for the mortgage loan process. Burger and sliders were good. I will be hosting events here with Realtors for sure as a Mortgage Broker Business and Disabled Veteran Owned Business.

Great people and a great area. I like that I can come in and feel comfortable and at home. You can’t replace that kind of vibe. The food is really good too, which makes it even better. It’s just an easy place to enjoy yourself and feel welcome every time.

Great local sports bar restaurant. Service is great, food is very good. We mostly enjoy the wings and O-Rings. My one complaint is the jukebox, early on. It’s really loud in the back, and I’m not a fatty daddy, but I don’t like hearing all the foul language and trash talk from some of the gutter songs. It is a family spot. I think they could have Touch Tunes Filter those type of songs out.

We love the food and atmosphere at Lillian’s. We love doing date night here. Try the wings you will not regret it.

I always totally enjoy coming into Lillian’s for the delicious food wonderful service beverages and the awesome atmosphere. I tell people all the time I have never had a bad meal there. Tonite while sitting at the front bar I was able to convince a couple to check out the back bar and enjoy the music. After checking it out they immediately switched/moved to the back bar area and thanked me for letting them know. :-)

The best moms and pops restaurant in Jacksonville. The food is amazing, the staff is awesome and the vibe was everything. Britney was my server and she was awesome! She was attentive and she catered to the crowd. It a great place for family and friends. My grandbaby loves the arcade room.

We had a great time watching the Jags game. Our server Sara was on her game and made sure all of us were taking care of. Great job Lillians.

The Ahi Tuna was great as usual. Chicken wings were finger licking good. It’s nice to have a local sports bar and grill with great food and atmosphere. The service is improving with the latest great new hires. Keep up the great work.

Love Tuesday $1 wing night. The food is always good and, whether in the back or in the front, there is plenty of room. There are games for the kids and TV'S everywhere.

I can’t say enough good things about Kattie. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely fun to interact with. She absolutely crushed it behind the bar—drinks were perfectly made, lightning fast, and spot-on with her recommendations. On top of that, she handled tables like a pro, checking in at just the right moments and making everyone feel taken care of without ever hovering. You can tell she truly cares about the guest experience and takes real pride in her work. She single-handedly elevated our entire night, and we’ll be back specifically because of her. Give this woman a raise—she’s the rock star of Lillians

Overall a good place. A little worn down but still clean and has decent service. Food and drinks were good. Lots of TVs and local bands come to play in the back.

Lillians has the best wings and the staff is very friendly. Brittany who works at the back room bar is extraordinary. She takes great care of her customers!

I'd heard ownership had changed, so I decided to give them another try and have been back three times. Food: 👍👍👍 good portions and flavor. The Ahi tuna app has always been a favorite. *Please being back the garlic cheese grits to go with it!* The nachos are also a solid choice. Great apps for beer drinking, lots of yummy entree options on the revamped menu. There has been a hiccup from the kitchen with our orders each visit but nothing worth sending back. Atmosphere: Not a big fan of sports bars but this is a bit lower than your average noise level for a sports bar, not too bad. On my last visit while waiting and waiting for service, Barbie girl played loudly on repeat for quite a while which was a tad maddening and started to leave when we were finally greeted. Service: 👎👎👎 NOT the place to go if you have a time limit or are starving! Takes a while to be greeted each time - somewhat understandable without a host and divided seating. Drinks can take 15 minutes to arrive, you're told they'll be right back to take the order you're ready to put in... 🦗 🦗 🦗 The check and boxes also come with an extended wait. Hope to see improvements in future. Maybe I'll try take out next round...

Typical wing night, usually once or twice per month is wing night. New waitress tonight, “Bre” did a nice job. Wasn’t a drinking night so we didn’t need too much attention, food was pretty good, French fry portions could be large based upon the charge for a potato, but that’s just me.

Our waitress, Abby, was fantastic. Good bar food. Potato skins were great. Cat bites were the perfect amount for lunch. Nice atmosphere for watching sports and also kid friendly.

Surprisingly, because the outside is a little sleepy, but its a really good restaurant! It was pretty crowded when we went there but we got seated in the bar area right away. Our server was excellent and the food was terrific. Hubby had a really decent burger and I got the prime rib au jus sandwich; the roll was to die for! Soft inside and this incredible, chewey and well-finished crust, Jersey style. They had a big back room with a bar and a pretty good acoustic set going when we were there. The only reason I gave the atmosphere a 4 was cause the music in the bar dining area was way too loud, for me anyway. But we'll definitely be back!

Yesterday 01/22/23 wasn't that busy at Lillian's Sport Grill. I came in at 2:15pm As a single guest and here lies the problem. A single guest is not treated like other guests. After I ordered my soda "and got it ten minutes later" my meal would take even longer. I would see others get their meals long before I would get my main meal. Six wings and fries. I also ordered a Jumbo Pretzel and to be honest it wasn't all that good for the cost of $5.99. But I ate it. I would get my six wings and fries at 3:00pm. This meal came to $20.40 I would tip the over worked waitress $3.00. WOW in just under a month you went from five stars to 2 stars. Not good.

Unfortunately, the new owners have not kept up the good quality and service. Multiple visits with burnt, oversalted and cold food that arrives after way too long of a wait. Also, I have waited 20 and 30 minutes just to get a beer refill. This place was great back in the day, but last night's charcoal briquettes for hamburgers was the final nail in the coffin for us. There's too many better choices.

New owners have more or less tanked a great restaurant. Raised prices and lowered the quality of the food. Service is okay at best. Use to be a place to get good food at reasonable prices. Not anymore - not worth a visit under the new ownership

We are regular customers and usually have good experience but tonight(10-24-25) did not had two unsatisfactory burgers come out and my burger was borderline but the fries were in little pieces doesn’t sound like much but when my wife’s second burger came out they didn’t send out fresh fries so apparently they expected her to have cold fries with a hot(but again over done ) burger. The manager had no acceptable response to our dissatisfaction only you can use your coupon next time. We did not get to eat dinner together as planned in fact my wife had two bites from two way over done burgers and I had French fry pieces and a marginal burger. We love Lillian’s but I feel tonight was disappointing. The manager was Queen

Had to ask someone where to get my order because i wasn't greeted... I was missing a menu item that says it come with the meatloaf, after receiving my order i didn't notice until i got home.. i called and she said regardless to what it said it only came with the two sides... ( That's false advertising) They charged extra for runny non baked Mac n cheese the bread was hard the butter was the best thing on the plate that came with bread the meatloaf was ok. Overall i won't come back nor will i refer anyone to. Off service alone is a big No it's just prolly gd for the regulars because it's a watering hole.. welp they can have it. y'all welcome for my Money because i feel robbed.. never again!!

Food came out burnt 2 xand when we talked to our server she laughed and said the kitchen knew at least the first time. Spoke to the (manager) Queen was very unprofessional and said there was6 anything she could do . After being regular for a long time this was very disappointing because she simply didn't care!!!!thanks Queen Lilian s need to care about cust and she really could care or less

Update: not sure what exactly has happened with this place but the food and service has gone downhill. Delivery orders have been wrong, the food burnt and made carelessly. The waitresses seem to all be teenagers with crappy attitudes that act like they do not want to be there. We are long time customers but will not be back again. Previous review: Love this place. Great food and good service. Amanda is by far the best waitress

Our family has been meeting there for years. The 12 of us were meeting where the band is. We ordered appetizers and drinks until the rest of our family arrived. When they arrived an hour later the band was so horribly loud we had to move to the front of the restaurant. We paid our bill and tipped our waitress generously. When we got settled at oir table we were approached by the manager and was told we are cut off from ordering drinks!! Our bar tab was $100.00 for drinks and 4 appetizers for 10 people. We had a pitcher of beer and 2 of us had 2 drinks. And we were cut off ar 9:00 pm! We will never go there again and we are telling everyone we know about our experience.

Bad experience with ordered a taco salad with no tomato and received tomatoes. Restaurant tried to turn it on doordash but doordash has nothing to do with the food that is made I would never tell anyone to come to this restaurant.

The waitress was nice but the wings were nasty . I wanted my money back !! Don’t order the bourbon chicken wings or the Lemon pepper as a matter of fact skip the wings altogether. Tasted like they washed the wings off with dish soap . Somebody go inspect that kitchen 🗣️🗣️. However .southwest egg rolls were good . Step it up in the kitchen, people work hard for there money and we deserve good food .

Been coming here for every Jaguars game all season and never had an issue—until today. We arrived early expecting a full house and found several open tables, but many seats were marked “reserved” with pieces of paper. There’s no mention anywhere online or in the restaurant about reservations, yet staff suddenly claimed they take them. We were a party of two and specifically asked not to take a large table. We were denied a table that could have easily been adjusted. Another table was supposedly occupied by two children, but the kids were nowhere to be seen. Requests to move the table or have the kids sit with their parents were flatly refused. Despite multiple empty seats, we were told there was nothing available. It felt like seating was being held for staff or friends rather than paying customers. Had the place actually been full, I would have understood—but it wasn’t. After being regulars all season, we had no choice but to leave and miss the game entirely. Very disappointing experience. Would not recommend this place if you expect to reliably watch an important game.
