Jason Wells+FollowJacksonville menu surprise: What ‘MKT’ really meansOrdering a steak labeled “MKT” in Jacksonville? That could mean a big surprise when the bill arrives.

Local diners recently learned the hard way when their $20 guess turned into a $52 charge per steak. With prices shifting based on supply and demand, it’s smart to ask your server before ordering anything marked MKT. Have you ever been caught off guard by a menu’s market price? Let’s hear your stories and tips for dining out! #Food #JacksonvilleEats #DiningTips00Share
