Jacksonville is a city that hosts. Big backyards, beach communities, suburban neighborhoods with the space and the culture to throw a genuine party — and Hibachi Connect is the private chef service that matches that energy. A certified teppanyaki chef arrives at your Jacksonville home, your Atlantic Beach property, or your Ponte Vedra rental with a full propane grill, fresh proteins, and a live performance that turns any outdoor space into the neighborhood's most talked-about event.
Graduation parties, military homecoming celebrations, neighborhood cookouts, milestone birthdays, and family reunions are among our most-requested Jacksonville events. Our chefs are experienced with Jacksonville-area communities: Ponte Vedra Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Mandarin, Fleming Island, Southside, and all surrounding neighborhoods. One chef handles 10–20 guests; two stations for 40–60. Kids get the fire show. Adults get perfectly cooked proteins and a meal they didn't have to cook.
We cover all of Jacksonville and Northeast Florida: Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Amelia Island, Orange Park, Fleming Island, St. Augustine, Palm Coast, and surrounding communities. Most Jacksonville area locations are within our standard service zone with no travel fee. Weekend dates book 2–3 weeks ahead. Starting at $60 per adult, $600 event minimum.
Snowbird season or summer in Jacksonville — same seamless process. Your covered lanai, pool cage, or waterfront patio becomes a private restaurant for the evening.
A single per-person rate covers your chef, grill, all ingredients, setup, and full cleanup.
Snowbird season entertaining, neighborhood dinner parties, milestone celebrations — a private hibachi chef is the event upgrade your Florida guests haven't seen before.
Hibachi Connect operates year-round throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding Florida communities. Covered lanais, screened enclosures, and outdoor pool decks are all supported — we work with your outdoor space.
Service extends throughout the Jacksonville area and nearby communities. Travel fees may apply beyond 30 miles. Send us your address and we'll confirm coverage quickly.
Florida residents, snowbird hosts, and community event planners — what they're saying.
Check Availability"High school graduation party at our Mandarin home — 35 guests, backyard setup, the whole extended family together. The chef was absolutely incredible with the whole crowd. Kids were amazed, grandparents were laughing, the graduate felt like the star of the night. We couldn't have asked for a better celebration. Worth every penny."
"My husband's homecoming from deployment — 28 people at our Ponte Vedra home, backyard hibachi. It was the perfect way to bring the family back together after a long separation. The chef made the whole evening feel special and celebratory. Our family still talks about it months later."
"Neighborhood dinner party at our Atlantic Beach home — 20 neighbors, patio setup, gorgeous evening. Everyone stayed at the table for two and a half hours, which never happens at a cookout. The chef ran a full show the whole time. Our neighborhood has been talking about it for weeks and wants to do it again already."
