Look at throwback photos of Jacksonville's past: Classic restaurants around town

If you've lived in Jacksonville for a long time, you probably know that the restaurant scene around town is almost entirely different than it was 30 or 40 years ago.

Jacksonville’s dining options now include more modern, upscale options, like River & Post’s rooftop bar and restaurant that overlooks the St. John’s river in downtown Jacksonville; or Oaxaca Club in Jacksonville Beach, which serves contemporary Mexican cuisine to guests on its pristine beach-side patio and in its modern dining room.

Here's a throwback album of Jacksonville's restaurants of the past, with more than 80 photos, ranging from the 1950s through the mid-2000s.
