Carolina Jax

Carolina Jax was created in Jacksonville, Florida late 2016 by founder Anthony Bushee. His idea was to bring a taste of the Carolinas to the streets of Florida and serve the regional foods he grew up with out of his new food truck. Then, operating under another name, Carolina Jax quickly gained traction as one of the best food trucks in Jacksonville winning numerous local awards. Known for their Angus smash burgers, the brand is continuously labeled the best burger in Northeast Florida bringing in visitors from all over the region as far south as Miami. During their 2019 visit to South Florida, Carolina Jax won the People’s Choice award at Burger Beast’s Hamburger House Party competition earning them a spot at the exclusive Rachel Ray’s Burger Bash in 2020 and Bobby Flay’s Burger Bash in 2021, a part of the Food Network South Beach Wine and Food Festival. Carolina Jax has also gained national attention with their segment on Cooking Channel’s Food Paradise which aired internationally, as well as owner Anthony competing on the prime time Food Network show Guy’s Grocery Games.

Carolina Jax is slated to open another location in Northeast Florida towards the end of 2025 while owner Anthony works on an exciting new culinary project. When you walk into Carolina Jax you are walking into a truly family owned and family oriented establishment. There are so many reasons why they say Carolina Jax is where it’s at!
