Visiting from out of town and found this place on Yelp. I'm vegan but my friend isn't and we both loved it. I love finding little hole in the wall places while traveling because they're always the best. We came on a Friday night about an hour before they closed and they had a small group of people playing live music and signing which was cool. The restaurant has a really cute, chill vibe to it. I had their "chicken fry" sandwich and a side of their Mac and cheese, both were delicious. My friend just tried some sides. Everything, including the spicy sauce that comes with the chicken frys was so good. Got a double chocolate cupcake to go which it looks like they make them in house cause they were icing fresh cupcakes as we were leaving, it was absolutely DELICIOUS. Probably one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. read more

We have been here a few times and they have always been super clean, nice and delicious! The Sunday brunch is also an amazing thing you have to try! It's so nice to be able to go somewhere and not have to ask so many questions if there's dairy in this or that. read more

My girlfriend and I were very frequent visitors to Murray hillbilly up until the owner decided to blast her dirty laundry on social media and her partner (Ryan) left. We decided to give it another chance today and we are very disappointed and disgusted. We arrived only to find an empty restaurant that used to be full of joyful customers at any given time. After completing our order the owner walked in and also ordered and got her food within minutes while we waited another 20 minutes for ours to come out. Still the only customers. Once we got our food the appearance was unsettling and our fries were so soggy and greasy, the chickun was chewy and honestly concerning. Everything just did not taste right. So we took it back up to the counter and by this time we were completely turned off by it and we weren't offered a refund, definitely sad to see one of our favorite restaurants turn into one of the worst overall. We will definitely not be coming back. Do not waste your time or money here. If you ever find yourself in the area I highly suggest going to the garden truck instead read more

My husband and I tried this for the first time last night and it was delicious! Definitely not one to choose vegan options but I was impressed read more

Kind of smelled like a thrift store....the food was cold and tasted like the frozen vegan alternatives, meaning it was not nasty but not worth the price or the wait. We ordered the fried pickles, Mac and cheese, buffalo chicken and git er done burger. All of them were cold. Also the trash had food in it as well as if we weren't the only ones disappointed.... read more

I've tried to have lunch at this place for sometime, been there 3 times, a Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday around12:00pm, IT'S ALWAYS CLOSE..

I've eaten at Murray Hillbilly twice now. They are vegan and gluten free. I've had their BBQ chicken and a quinoa sloppy joe. Both were AMAZING and the portion sizes are appropriate, as opposed to most restaurants where each dish is enough for two people. I left fully satisfied! Next time I'm going to try the fried cauliflower sandwich. I've heard RAVE reviews about it! Fantastic food and awesome customer service. If you haven't tried them yet, you're missing out!! read more

Not often do you find organic, gluten free, dairy free, and animal free food that tastes incredible. Each bite you take from any one of these sandwiches or side options leaves you wanting more. The Murray Hillbilly seriously has the best food in Jacksonville, Florida and you would never know it's vegan! I highly recommend trying their food if you are in the neighborhood. They do lots of exciting events around town so it creates a new experience each time you dine with them. read more

I LOVE that this place exists. The owners are very pleasant and knowledgable about all things vegan cooking. While I truly appreciate the menu selections - they are very creative and evoke down home cooking nostalgia - I am not a huge fan of barbecue, and all but a few choices have the BBQ flavor, so I'm limited in what I "can" order; basically "burgers". So, first, I would say expand the menu to include more no-BBQ items, or offer the same items without BBQ. The other thing is that it can add up to be rather costly very quickly. The entree prices, as such, aren't too bad. But the sides and beverages can hit hard in the wallet, as they are individually priced at around $3 if you want more than the one that comes with the meal. I'm also not sure why they would charge $1.50 extra for gluten free bread when they proudly advertise as gluten free? It cost me $45 + tip for just two people; that's way too much for this type of food in this very, very casual atmosphere. I will return to try as many of the non-BBQ items as I can, but I will be very cautious with my side selections. I do wish them well, though, because Jacksonville needs more places like this. read more

It's always exciting to see people trying to get the plant based word out there and educate people, but I am so so saddened with Murray Hillbilly. It's disappointing to find out that a restaurant which claims to be conscious still chooses to use canola oil, in *EVERY SINGLE menu item, which is so so terrible. It's one of the worst things you could put into your body, wreaking havoc on the gut and liver and feeding viruses. I know they are only healthy-"ish", still serving comfort/fried foods, but it's just unethical to use damaging ingredients when trying to make a difference in the world and pushing a better agenda. It's turning a blind eye to the wellness of your clientele and hypocritical to the message you're trying to spread. Such a bummer. **in response to owner: I have worked in the plant-based world as a nutritionist for 8+ years and have worked closely with many professionals and dietitians, so as far as "doing my research" goes, I have done more than enough. Additionally, I have asked multiple times if anything was free of canola and was told each time that it was in everything, it sounds like there is some miscommunication between your staff. read more

I know what you're thinking if you are not already eating a plant-based diet. Why would I try this place?! Trust me - just go an let yourself experience something new. This was my first trip to the Murray Hill area so I almost passed the restaurant. It's situated in an unassuming storefront with quaint indoor and outdoor seating. The atmosphere is subdued yet relaxing - the waitstaff is friendly and will address any questions regarding the menu. This place is a bit hipster but in a good way. I love that you can get any sandwich option as a salad. My friend and I ordered The Bubba as a salad - chik'n pieces with vegan aioli and BBQ sauce with romaine lettuce, tomatoes and slaw. The sauce MADE this dish - I would drink the BBQ sauce. The chik'n texture was spot on as after finished I was full but not stuffed. Will return to this place to try other dishes - the Ya Reckon is next on my list. Keep up the good work! read more

Well I have to start this review with - I am not a vegan nor vegetarian but a meat eating person. However, my daughter is and this weekend is all about her. I had the Hillbilly Whopper and hush Puppies because that was what Maddie recommended for me. To my surprise it was delicious. The Hush Puppies were good and were Large portions (all 3 of them). On top of the good food experience the classic rock music was Excellent, not too loud but enough to enjoy the music and not have to talk loud. Way to go with the music to help me to enjoy this experience. You have a really Nice relaxing atmosphere here to go along with the food and music. read more

Phenomenal vegan food and some of the best tasting out there! They know how to really make vegan food taste like real meat, definitely worth a visit! read more

Murray hillbilly not only hits the spot for comfort food for vegans and omnis alike, but their affordable value menu is inclusive, rivals large chain restaurants (shop local) and truly leaves no excuses to not at least try them out (to me no excuses to swap for meat but hey, I don't make the calls.) You really cannot go wrong no matter what you order. I WILL SAY I miss the quinoa sloppy joes... love these guys! read more

Visited here while in Jacksonville. Cool place with unique take on vegan southern food. Had a hipstery vibe. The Ya Reckon was so good. Also loved that their table numbers were cards with animals and facts about the animals on the back. Really cool idea. Didn't care for the smokey flavor or al dente texture of the Mac n cheese. The desserts were heaven though. The snickerdoodle sandwich was one of the best desserts I've had. read more

First time at Murray's Hillbilly. Went vegan 2 weeks prior made for such an easy transition. Was craving fried chicken and i got it! Foods amazing atmosphere is great. read more

I really enjoyed the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich and the Rose Lemonade. I had the Apple spice cupcake which was moist and I couldn't finish it because I was so full. The cole slaw was edible but it wasn't super tasty. read more

OMG I cannot say enough good things about Murray Hillbilly! I absolutely loved the vegan Mac and cheese! Thank you for providing a cruelty free option in Jacksonville! read more

Fantastic. I tried them out at the Riverside Arts Market. As someone who is lactose intolerant I am always on the lookout for the elusive vegan Mac n cheese. This place is it! Their fried cauliflower is also fantastic and the service was quick too. I can't wait to go back read more

This place was amazing and the beet burger was so great. The fried pickles was awesome

I absolutely love this place! I ordered the chick'n buffalo ranch sandwich with fries the first time and then with Mac n cheeze and everything was delicious!! It is a bit pricey but for the flavor it is definitely worth it. It isn't as healthy as I would like so I will not be eating here that often. I guess thats why it is southern vegan comfort food! read more

My absolute favorite food truck in town! They have a great selection of dishes and they are always fresh and delicious. They are also very passionate about food and what they do, & it shows in every bite. read more

Now let me start out by saying I'm a meat eater and by meat eater meaning I could bite into a butt of the cow and I'll be happy but I'm trying to go help here and are usually do vegan February so I wanted to try this food truck so I have some options during that month I got the barbecue tempeh it's one of those things I want to try but I'm never quite sure so this perspective is from someone who doesn't normally eat vegan foods. I have to say the barbecue tempeh was really good the sauce that was on it was on point and it had the right barbecue flavor I just wish it had a bit more sauce the macaroni and cheese it was vegan but not bad a little off but then I didn't expect it to taste like macaroni and cheese the cauliflower mashed potatoes with a cream sauce was wonderful all in all I thought the food was really really good even if I was eating meat and just wanted to change of pace I would try their Foods so don't be afraid to ignore something just because it's something you're not used to give him a try their new and probably coming to a neighborhood near you check out their website I know they have a bunch of events in Springfield and Murray hill here's the happy Munchen in 2018 read more

Hands down the BEST vegan restaurant in Jax. Customer service is always 10/10 and the food is always amazing. The entire atmosphere is incredible as well. I love it, I even got my co-workers to join in! read more

The owner was very rude!! We came from Georgia looking for so good vegan. The food was okay. But customer service sucks.

The food tastes good, but the portions are small for $10 and the wait time was long-ish, considering there was NOBODY ahead of us.

Let me start by saying that I was disappointed by both the customer service and the food at this place. Understanding that businesses are doing their best during this pandemic and that everyone has family waiting for them at home, I was disappointed by the customer service provided not only to me but to an elderly couple who clearly was struggling to place their order. The lady behind the counter didn't seem to be bothered to help even though the couple had been standing in front of the ordering kiosk(tablet) for a while , they were vocal and this woman still didn't even flinch. I proceeded to help the couple and ended up requesting assistance because their tablet was malfunctioning. Once the issue was fixed I proceeded to assist this couple with the order and then ordered my food. The food is not really something out of this world, we ordered a side of slaw and i can tell you that it couldn't have possibly been more than a spoonful. It's during times like these that we have to be tolerant, loving, caring and always kind and the customer service there was none of these things. read more

This review isn't about the food or service, I understand that is excellent. This review is about this restaurant insulting a large portion of the area's population. My friend, a native of Jacksonville and Murray Hill, was visiting from out of town and we wanted to have lunch. I had heard the food was very good here. When we drove up they had a "Change the Name" sign in their window. We were insulted, or in today's terms "offended". We are alumni's of Robert E. Lee high school and are as many of our fellow alumni against changing the name for many reasons. My friend said, "I don't want to go there it appears they don't want the business of those of us who oppose the change". When a business gets political, regardless of what side they are on, they are saying in essence that they don't want the business of those with opposing views. I'm sorry they chose this path, I was looking forward to lunch there because of the rave reviews it has received in my group of friends. We went to European Street instead and it was excellent! read more

Vegan southern style comfort food from the convenience of a food truck. Need I say more?! Get the hush puppies with your meal!

Food is tasty, but they are constantly out of their menu items and are quite slow with their service. They once forgot about my order only when I asked what was taking so long. No money off or free item, they just laughed and apologized. read more
