The Experience
PGA Tour Grill is one of those airport restaurants that feels like a real break from the terminal—full-service, sit-down dining with a sports-forward vibe. Expect TVs, a lively bar scene, and a menu built for travelers who want something hotter and more satisfying than a wrapped sandwich. It’s an easy choice when you’ve got time to spare and want to actually exhale before boarding.
What people tend to love here is the comfort-food reliability: burgers done the way you expect, salads that don’t feel like an afterthought, and breakfast that works whether you’re starting a travel day or finishing a red-eye connection. It’s also a good “meet-up” spot in Concourse C—plenty of reasons to sit, snack, and watch the gate screens without hovering over them.
Location & Access
You’ll find PGA Tour Grill after security in Concourse C (Terminal C) at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX). It’s positioned as a natural stop once you’re committed to the concourse—handy if you’re flying out of C and don’t want to trek back for food.
Because it’s a full-service restaurant, seating is typically easier to come by than at grab-and-go counters, but waits can happen during peak bank times. As a rule of thumb: mornings around the first big wave of departures and late afternoon/early evening are the busiest; midday is often calmer for snagging a table.
Menu Highlights
- Breakfast plates: A solid move for early flights—think classic eggs-and-sides comfort that beats eating a pastry over your suitcase.
- Burgers and fries: The go-to order for many travelers; hearty, familiar, and built to keep you full through a long haul.
- Salads and lighter fare: Good when you want something fresher without committing to “sad airport salad.”
Pricing at JAX puts PGA Tour Grill in the moderate-to-expensive airport bracket (roughly $15–$30+ for many entrées depending on what you order), plus bar drinks if you’re settling in.
For dietary needs, you’ll usually find at least a couple of vegetarian-friendly options (salads, sides, and some breakfast picks). Vegan and gluten-free choices may be possible with modifications, but it’s best to ask your server. Halal options aren’t typically highlighted in airport grills like this, so plan accordingly if that’s a requirement.
Practical Info
- Hours: Typically 6:00 am – 9:00 pm (always worth confirming day-of, since airport hours can shift).
- Mobile ordering: Not commonly promoted here; expect traditional table service.
- Reservations: Generally not part of the airport routine—walk-ins are the norm.
- Best times to avoid crowds: Aim for mid-morning after the first rush or mid-afternoon.
- Power outlets: Availability varies by table; if you need to charge, ask to be seated near an outlet.
Quick Verdict
Best for: travelers who want a real meal in Concourse C—business travelers taking a working lunch, couples sharing an unhurried breakfast, or anyone who wants a burger-and-beer moment before boarding.
Skip if: you’re cutting it close to boarding, need a strict halal menu, or want the fastest possible bite (in that case, a Concourse C grab-and-go counter will be more efficient).
