Hanna Pk, Jacksonville FL - restaurants?

Heading to FL next week, unplanned. Staying in JAX city's Hanna Park.
Are there any good restaurants close by? local seafood? Won't have anytime to explore area or drive around looking so asking for your experiences.
Thanks!

  • Thanks everyone, I will print this list and take it with me. Always find this forum more reliable than Yelp.
  • Safe Harbor is good and Singletons has a lot of Mayport History. I believe it also was on Diners Drive ins and Dives. If you like authentic Irish food and beer check out Culhanes www.culhanesirishpub.com. It was also on the show and not far away. BBQ check out Bono's www.bonosbarba.com. Pizza check out Al's pizza alspizza.com. Al's is in the Beaches Town Center beachestowncenter.com which is nice with restaurants. All these restaurants and town center are within a 5 mile radius of Hannah Park. The park is nice and have fun.
  • Sand Dollar across the river via ferry is good. Singleton's is fair. Safe Harbor is excellent but not open at night. These are all in mayport.A little drive away om Merrill Ave. is Gene's. Also good seafood.
  • Good point. Safe Harbor closes promptly at 6:00pm weeeknights.

    8:00 Friday and Saturday, 7:00 Sunday.

    It is also a seafood market. When you walk in you smell the ocean.clicky on Safe Harbor

    Metro Diners (two) are interesting. They were on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

  • Avoid Singletons, way over hyped. Frankly some of the chain stuff is better than what they put out.

    X2. Singletons has lots of fried stuff, and the facilities leave a lot to be desired - lets say rustic. There are lots of good places to eat in Neptune, Atlantic and Jacksonville beach on 3rd street. Salt Life comes to mind. Not to far - 15 to 20 min drive.
