You may have noticed plenty of road construction throughout Sarasota including Palmer Ave and Cattleman. Fear not fans of JR’s Old  Packinghouse Café. The construction will only go up to the Shell gas station and JR fans can easily access the award-winning Packinghouse Café via Bahia Vista to the turn at Old Packinghouse Road. Don’t let the construction signs fool you. Only part of Packinghouse road will be affected and not your favorite casual café for great Cuban food and classic American favorites. In fact, JR’s will be serving its wonderful monthly and weekly specials and is planning staying open Christmas Eve for live music and hearty Café classics.

J.R.’s offers catering options as well as curbside pick-up and carry-out. The restaurant also features venue packages for onsite parties with indoor and outdoor options in its new backyard venue for “kick up your boots” events and rehearsal dinners, fundraisers and more.
