COVID-19 Restaurant Updates – Specials – Service Changes

If, like me, you always thought it was WILD that in the 14th century folks could have just washed their hands and reduced tons of deaths due to the bubonic plague, 2020 may have given you a fresh perspective. Government leaders at every level are urging people to practice social distancing. While the economic impact of social distancing is not comparable to death, we are concerned at how many of our beloved local restaurants will fare through this…intense time.

Above all, we want you to stay safe, and to keep your neighbors and all of our loved ones safe. If you are able to patronize restaurants, we urge you to choose locally owned establishments, and choose take out or delivery. Generally, ordering directly from the restaurant (not utilizing a third party delivery service) is the best option for the restaurant as they typically lose some percentage of transactions when a third party gets involved. However, do what you are able to do. It all helps right now.

As of Monday at 5pm, restaurants and bars in Duval are limited to allowing 50 patrons in their space. Many restaurant owners and managers saw this coming, and restaurants all over town have been making swift changes to their service in order to keep people as separate as possible. Below you will find a list of restaurants and what they are doing to serve you in these times. We did not include chain restaurants at this time.

We will try to keep this list updated, but it’s always a good idea to check social media pages for a restaurant if things have changed and you aren’t sure if they are open or what their operating procedures currently are.
