The owner, David Farmer, and President, Clayton Youngblood both were born and raised on the First Coast.I am a firm believer in downtown. I am committed to downtown and love The Jacksonville Landing,shared Farmer.In fact, when I was deciding where to live, I chose downtown Jacksonville.
WHAT?!?! We are? Is it going to be good? Or bad? Just because I really don’t remember Fuddruckers being that great…and if that’s the case, then lookout for the big booming onslaught of people coming to the Landing for a Fuddruckers! A long time ago, there was a burger joint in the Landing called Johnny Rockets. It’s not there anymore. My fingers are crossed though…
I’ve been to a Fuddruckers before when I was in Minneapolis. It is like a TGIFridays + Steak n’ Shake.
Lots of memorobilia and good burgers. I don’t remember much else. I vaguely remember waiting in line to order. I think you go sit down and someone brings your food to you.
red meat. pink, ummm, martinis. the landing is just becoming a little slice of heaven. all we need now is a little live rock and or roll.
and some good crank.

Fuddruckers is pretty good if you want a burger. This is just what the Landing needs more of, a place that can’t be found elsewhere in JAX and will draw people.
It’s better than a store that sells three dollar packs of gum or used books.
I moved to Jax from Dallas where we had Fuddruckers. I remember them serving up good burgers, but they will need more than good food to make a stand at The Landing. I’ve never seen anything like it. That place sucks the life out of restaurants.
