Duncan & Duncan will build-out the space at a cost of $276,480 at 13820 St. Augustine Road, No. 417, in the Shoppes of Bartram Park.

It will be the sixth Top Dawg Tavern location for the family-owned company, which started in 2013.
Founders and owners Brett and Renee Summers, who live in a Charleston, South Carolina, suburb, opened their first restaurant in 2013, in Bethlehem, Georgia, outside Athens.
Renee Summers said in September she estimates 320-340 seats in the Jacksonville location, making it the largest Top Dawg Tavern.
She said Top Dawg opens at 11 a.m. daily and serves lunch and dinner. Sunday brunch is 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
The menu features starters, wings, burgers, salads, sandwiches, favorites and more.
Top Dawg also has a full-service bar, including local craft beers, and it caters to sports fans with TVs and the SEC Network, ACC Network and Big Ten Network as well as NFL Sunday Ticket. It has a DirecTV package.
Top Dawg has a children’s area with an interactive floor and activities.
