If you’re on the lookout for the ultimate sports bar experience, look no further than Player’s Grille. With three locations across Jacksonville, this local gem has great food, lively ambiance, and exciting events.
Recently, we made our way to the Mandarin location of Player’s Grille, located just off San Jose Blvd. We immediately noticed the outdoor patio, which is a perfect place to hang out on a warm summer evening.
One of the highlights of Player’s Grille is its diverse range of events and themed nights. Whether you’re into karaoke or simply want to catch the big game with friends, Player’s Grille has you covered. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a long day or kick off a night of fun with your besties.
Now, let’s dive into the main event: the food. We ordered the Appetizer Sampler, Buffalo Chicken Pizza, two types of wings, and the Build Your Own Burger.
First up is the Appetizers Sampler Trio. We loved how this allows you to choose which appetizers you would like to include, as most restaurants have three pre-selected options.
We decided on the frickles, jalapeño poppers, and pretzel bites. Aubree’s favorite was the frickles, which were nice and crispy and served with Ranch. Alexa’s favorite was the jalapeño poppers, which were paired with a jam. The sweet and savory combination was everything!
Next on the lineup were the Smoked Wings, a true crowd-pleaser. Opting for the garlic sauce and lemon pepper rub proved to be a winning combination, thanks to a server recommendation.
Of course, no visit to a sports bar would be complete without indulging in classic Boneless Wings, served up mild for a game day favorite that never disappoints.
If you are looking for the ultimate game day meal, the Buffalo Chicken Pizza delivers big on flavor. The crust tasted homemade and was nice and thin. The pizza itself is perfect for sharing with a group, and of course the buffalo chicken gives that game day classic flavor.
And let’s not forget about the Build Your Own Burger option, where there are many options to choose from. Whether you’re a traditionalist or prefer to get creative with your toppings, Player’s Grille has you covered. The burger patty is thick and served with seasoned fries.
To drink, we each stuck with a Coke, but this restaurant offers a full bar and large draft selection.
Player’s Grille offers a winning combination of delicious food, vibrant atmosphere, and unbeatable entertainment options. A huge shoutout and thank you to the team at Player’s Grille for hosting us—we’re already counting down the days until our next visit.
