It seems that they are open now. Has anyone gone yet? If so, how was the food?
Today is the first time I've seen the paper removed from the windows. If it's open, I'll check it out this week.
yep...I also noticed the paper was down today....seems like they're opening at just the right time as the courthouse move-in is underway.
I saw their website was advertising about the Jazz Festival, so I'm guessing at the latest they should be open at the latter part of the week
Sounds like today's lunch spot for me. Daily lunch specials this week (May 21-25th) for $5. That gets you meat, two sides or a salad. 20 oz. drinks are $1 and desserts are $2.

I think I may try it today as well, cant beat $5!
Anyone know their hours?
They are open today with a limited menu. I'm currently eating a plate of fried chicken, mac & cheese and fried okra. The menu will expand next week.
Glad to see they are serving food today. I went there Tuesday and nothing!

Decor? Atmosphere?
I ordered take out but they had a guy playing the sax on the stage today. The interior is white walls, black concrete floors and blue doors. The tables in 331 have been replaced with booths. The doors were closed and no signage was on the street so if you didn't open them, you wouldn't know they were open for business.

daaaaaaaamn that looks good
Greeeeaaaaatttttt now I want fried okra!
Now hungry.
I guess on my next trip to Jacksonville, I'll just have to go back and forth between there and Justin's to decide who does certain menu items best.
It's a tough job but I'm willing to make the sacrifice.
I stopped by tonight....they'll have music all weekend and some of the Jazz Fest performers will be jamming Saturday night late

That looks soooo good, I can't wait to try it. There is an article featured in today's Daily Record on Sweet Lady Blue. http://jaxdailyrecord.com/downtowntoday.php?dt_date=2012-05-25
This spot looks promising and glad to see something different for the downtown live music scene. Hopefully they have a successful weekend with the visitors in town for the jazz fest.
I went by for lunch today. There were about 5 booths filled when I entered. Unfortunately, I guess they were having kitchen issues and couldn't serve food. I and everyone there was given full refunds and also two free meals in the future. The owner was apologetic and came to each and everyone one us personally. I will be going back once they get all the bugs worked out.
Can't wait to try it! They're right around the corner from my office and I'm always looking for somewhere new to try with my husband when he comes downtown for lunch.
They are opened. I called the restaurant and there hours are pretty much during the lunch time hours for now. They said when the new courthouse opens they will be serving breakfast. Checkout the website because they said they will be updating it today with their future hours. Also they will not be opened on the weekends. I hope this place does well.
Dang. Another place Downtown, I won't be able to try even though I live in Springfield. It's sad that all my friends who live at the beaches and Southside, but work downtown, get to tell me all about these places. That's the price I pay for working in Orange Park. I do get to go against traffic everyday, so I have that going for me, which is nice.
I guess it's hit or miss with the hours right now - I tried to take the kids after doing the Sally Corp. tour (very interesting/well done, btw) @ 12:15, but the door was padlocked with no posted hours. I tried the listed phone #, but it's nondescript as well....
With that level of professionalism I wouldnt worry about them being open much longer.
I hope they work it out - it looks really cool through the window.
I believe they're waiting for the courthouse to open. They've been closed all week and last Friday, they were still having kitchen equipment installed.
So what's the story here - any updates on hours? I tried calling today but got no one. Dinner?
They never opened back up. I have no idea what happened.
Pass by it everyday, twice a day-Place looks utterly and completely dead. No idea what's going on
