Loyd Have Mercy Restaurant

Hands down some of the BEST soul food I have had in a long time! Everything tasted freshly prepared, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely booming with flavor — you can truly taste the love in every bite. What made the experience even more special was the owner personally coming out to speak with us. He shared history about the city, local insight, and you can tell he is truly passionate about both his community and his restaurant. Being born and raised in the area, his pride shines through in the food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality. The vibes were amazing, the service was warm and welcoming, and the entire experience felt genuine from start to finish. This restaurant will honestly be one of the main reasons I return to this city because the food is THAT good. If you are anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in — you will not be disappointed!

This place is worthy of a Michelin star in my personal opinion. The first time I had, their food was from their food truck and it was delicious. We happened to be driving back home to Satellite Beach from a Mims speaking engagement and the owner of this restaurant was also a fellow speaker. So we stopped by the restaurant as we had such a good experience with their food truck and their story is inspiring. Oh my God, their food is even better at the restaurant. We ordered so much food, and each every dish was so delicious! We started off with fried green tomatoes, fried okra, smothered fried pork chops, fried catfish, collard greens, Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes & gravy, and lima beans. We were so satisfied full, we forgot to order dessert! And I had my eyes on the peach cobbler, as one doesn’t see that offered by many restaurants. The service was great too. We never had to wait too long to ask the server, nor wait too long to get anything, and service was always pleasant and efficient. The atmosphere is down home comfortable and clean. I highly recommend this restaurant for any sized group - from 2 to 20, families, colleagues, etc. You won’t be disappointed!

We were told about this restaurant and my lovely wife just had to try the fried garlic crabs. The smothered pork chop and fixens were awesome. The entire staff was very friendly and more then accommodating. Definitely will be back.
