Annie Ru's Carryout
and Catering
The place
Annie Ru's is West Jacksonville's soul food carryout — smothered everything, sides that could headline, and a line at lunch that tells you what the neighborhood already knows. ★4.4 across 965 reviews, no website.
Annie Ru's does soul food the carryout way: order at the counter, take the styrofoam box of smothered pork chops, oxtails, or fried chicken, and try to make it home before opening it. The sides — mac and cheese, collards, candied yams — are cooked like they matter, because in soul food they do.
West Jacksonville has kept this place busy for years without a website or a marketing budget. Nearly a thousand reviews at ★4.4 from a carryout operation is remarkable — people don't usually review takeout boxes unless the food demands it. The catering side keeps half the neighborhood's family reunions fed.
What to expect
Carryout counter service — call ahead at lunch to skip the line. Rotating daily plates; smothered pork chops and oxtails move fast. Sides are half the point: get the mac and the yams. Catering available for events.
