Best Fried Chicken in Jacksonville · Jacksonville, FL
Beach Road Chicken Dinners has served all-you-can-eat fried chicken in Jacksonville since 1939, a beloved old-Florida institution where the crisp bird arrives family-style with creamed peas, mashed potatoes and biscuits. Little has changed in more than 80 years, and that's exactly the point.
A Jacksonville Sunday-dinner tradition for generations, Beach Road is the 2026 Centurion Award winner.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
