"Ida Claire is forever a solid brunch spot, but from from June 16 to 23, it will offer brunch all day, from it’s opening to 4 p.m. Now that brunch is no longer relegated to a weekend only event, pop by and order a ham and green tomato Benedict, Southern quiche with peach and goat cheese salad, short rib and potato hash, and so many other Southern comfort food favorites." - Courtney E. Smith
"To scratch the itch for Southern food, head to this Addison-born restaurant from Frontburner. It is well-known for it’s brunch, but lunch is also a sleeper hit. During its daily happy hour, the bartenders play DJs and select records to play on vinyl for diners (and drinkers). Go for the classic fried chicken, monte cristo, or the Nashville hot chicken." - Courtney E. Smith
"This Southern-style cafe in Addison has all the comfort food one could want in a slightly hipper environment than the average. Naturally, that also includes a great plate of fried chicken. Get it straight with a seasonal salad for lunch or dinner, or go with chicken and waffles for brunch." - Courtney E. Smith
"Those heading to Kaboom Town in Addison on July 3 can also stop by Ida Claire’s Block Party, starting at 4 and going until 10 p.m. It promises food, live music, and a view of the Kaboom Town fireworks. It will be in the parking lot so pack extra sunscreen, and complimentary valet service is available with a reservation. There will be a $10 entry fee at the door is available with limited first come, first serve seating. As for what’s for dinner? Grilled chicken, glazed ribs, potato salad, grilled street corn, and mac and cheese, which go nicely with the restaurant’s Red, White, and Blue Frozen Flight with hurricanes, electric lemonades, and margaritas." - Courtney E. Smith
"Ida Claire is a Southern restaurant where everything from pimento cheese to fried chicken graces the menu. The Jacksonville location, one of three in the country, partners with local farmers and purveyors to bring vegetables and seafood to the restaurant. This is most evident in the Mayport Seafood Dip, which combines Mayport shrimp and crawfish with cheese, garlic, and shallots into a creamy dip that’s ideal for sharing. What makes this spot perfect for a group night out, besides the Southern-style plates, is the silver airstream parked just outside the main entrance to the restaurant that groups of 15 people or less can rent for parties or a friend’s night out."
