    Reuben
    Sasha H.

    Came here during lunch time on a Tuesday. It was very busy and a long wait. When it was time to order, they were mostly out of everything. I got the Reuben with pastrami and the wings. Both of these were very good. My husband ended up getting a chicken club or something because they were out of the two the things he wanted to try. He also ordered the bacon and cheese tots. His food items were very bland , no seasoning. He did not enjoy it. Overall it was ok, maybe it was the rush.

    Philly Cheese Steak hit the spot! And the onion rings were really delicious. Another social media win- our local FB groups that shout out local businesses delivered another win. Order at counter and food came out quickly. Great little lunch spot!

    Stopped in for a quick lunch on our way to other adventures and... how have I lived in Jacksonville without hearing a single whisper about this place?! Clarke Bros is the definition of an old-school, classic sandwich shop...the kind that feels like it's been feeding happy locals forever. Pretty sure one of the actual Clarke brothers made our sandwiches (I should've asked, he was a delight), and the service was amazing from both him and the cashier. We arrived right at open, so most folks were grabbing takeout, and for a few minutes we practically had the place to ourselves. Great vibes, great conversation, zero rush...just a genuinely welcoming spot. Now... the food. Calling these "sandwiches" doesn't feel adequate. Architectural marvels might be closer. When I first saw the prices I thought, "Okay, a little high for a sandwich." Then the sandwiches came out and I immediately took it back. For the amount of sandwich you get? Absolutely fair. These things are huge... like, "I needed a strategy and a game plan" huge. I got the Club on sourdough, and every single bite had the perfect balance of everything. Fresh, well-layered, and satisfying in that nostalgic sandwich-shop way. I also snagged a bite of my friend's Reuben on rye, also a 5 star experience. We also ordered onion rings, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm recalibrating my entire understanding of what an onion ring should be. These were fresh, insanely crispy, and somehow still tasted like actual onion inside (a rarity!). All future onion rings will be compared to these. And finally, the gochujang wings: sauced to perfection, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. I took half my club home because I had to tap out. I'm already excited for my leftover snack. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. Clarke Bros Subs is the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you stumbled onto something special. Come hungry and leave very, very happy.

    Was heading over to Riverside and the plan was to grab lunch before our other event and I suggested we go to Clarke Bros since I had been wanting to go since I heard of it and lucky it was right down the street from where we were going. We arrived right at opening and we greeted by the staff who were very helpful. Let me tell you they have all kinds of options of sub/sandwiches here. They have a main menu with the usually options but they also have signs around the restaurant with specials too so much sure you check out every sign. I will say they have a lot of amazing sounding options on the menu but it was a little chilly this early afternoon so I needed a hot sandwich and I went with the Duuuval Cheesesteak with onions and Cheese Wiz. They do at times have Cooper Sharp as well but their shipment from Philly had not come in yet. I also had to get an order of the Gochujang Wings since they sounded amazing and I don't live in the area so gotta get as much as I can when I am right? The wings came out first and they were very big. You for for sure can't beat 6 for $8. The Gochujang sauce was very tasty. I had the perfect amount of sweetness with the right amount of kick as well. The wings were cooked perfectly and were nice and crispy. These are for sure a must when getting lunch with friends and great for sharing. The Duuuval Cheesesteak came out quickly after and was hue and loaded with Ribeye. I could pick it up or take a bite without meat falling out and that's a very good thing. There was also plenty of cheese which I of course was a fan of. I meat maybe could have used a little more seasoning but this was still a top cheesesteak in Jacksonville. The others sandwiches our group got were also huge they were only able to eat half of their sandwiches because because they were so big. I gotr to try Ashely's Pastrami Reuben and it was great. She also got the Onion Rings and they were some of the best I have had. None of that you take a bite and the whole onion comes out crap. The staff was great and made sure to check in to see how everything was tasting and we of course were loving it. I will for sure make my way back to Clarke Bros Subs next time I'm in Riverside since there are still many sandwiches to try.

    One word, Oustanding!!! I've been dying to try this spot since it opened! Everything on the menu looks Amazing. It was hard for me to choose, but I went with the Duval Cheesesteak and Holy Canoli it was Delicious! I also ordered onions rings, cheddar cheese balls and another amazing sandwich that my Fiancée ordered and loved it. Service was fast and awesome. The Ambiance was pretty cool and different kinds of sandwich choices all over the place. So I will say please take your time in looking at every menu inside the establishment. They have their regular menu up top but also have really good choices written in chalk boards. With every bite immediately came another, I wish I could have tried every sandwich on the menu but that will come with many more visits. I HIGHLY recommend Clarke's to anyone that would listen and haven't stopped recommending it to my friends and family!

    Philly - 3.8/10: Something between a soggy reheat and a burnt mess. 15 minutes later: stomach pain

    What a gem of a sandwich shop and the real kicker is they make the best cheesecake in Jax. The interior is bright, clean and cute. The staff members were all so friendly and helpful. What to order is the real dilemma, because everything sounded good. We went with brisket filled potato skins, homemade bacon cheddar tots, the Duuuval Cheesesteak and the just made phenomenal cheesecake. You order at the counter, get your drink, select a seat and they bring the food to you. Everything was delicious and made for a perfect Saturday lunch. We will definitely be back and I'll sneak in just for the cheesecake.

    This place makes delicious subs! The Philly cheese steak is really good just missing some mushrooms and it would be perfect!

    I had zero expectations before coming here but any expectations I would have had would have been blow away!!! The food, the service, the atmosphere were all exactly what you want in a local diner! We walked right in and were greeted with a smile and a waft of delicious smelling food. After some deliberation I decided to order the Reuben and onion rings. Everything seems to be made to order and took long enough to start coming out for us to get our drinks and snag some sauces. The onion rings were perfection! The onion to breading ratio was excellent not too much breading and big onions. The batter for the onion rings was also flavorful so I ate some without any sauce. The Reuben was huge and every bite was delicious. The sauerkraut was not over powering but it was present which is just the way I like it. I will absolutely have to go back to Clarke Brothers to try more of their menu because every single thing I saw coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled amazing!

    Stopped into this local sandwich shop across from St Vincent's (Riverside) for a late lunch with my son. This storefront has been a lot of things over the years but I hope it finds its permanent occupant as a sub shop bc the subs are pretty good. Upon arrival today, we were greeted by the staff who allowed us a few moments to look over the blackboard menu (note the big one on the wall is the permanent menu while smaller blackboards near the counter/ register show case daily/ weekly specials). When we were ready, the counter service person helped us figure out our orders and was polite throughout. I opted for the club on white while my son opted for the cheesesteak without peppers. We also got drinks and split a platter of fries (aptly titled Big Ole Platter). You also pick your cheese (provolone for him and cheddar for me). We then grabbed a seat at a booth in the back as the back of the store seemed to be cooler than the front near the door. They also have counter and table seating. Our food was delivered to our table in a timely manner and looked amazing. My son's cheesesteak was the star of the show - it was hot, juicy and delectable. My club was good but it is not a traditional club (think grilled bread and two slices as opposed to three). The ham and turkey were smoked but were a little overpowering when eaten alone (I had to use a knife and fork at times bc the meat was hanging over). Also, the bacon jam seemed more like chopped bacon as opposed to a spread. They serve Pepsi products to drink and the fries were hand cut and tasted good. Throughout the meal, the staff checked on us and made sure that we were having a good visit. Great option for a sandwich in the Riverside area.

    Parking is challenging unless you are already parked near the hospital. You order at the counter and they delivered to our table. There are a couple tables/counter space and booths. The sandwiches were good for a reasonable price. I would only be in this area if visiting St Vincent hospital. If in the area, you won't be disappointed.

    Wasn't impressed with their chicken cheesesteak. Bread was soggy and no seasoning. I will not be trying again. Cashier and cook were polite.

    Long time visitor, first time reviewer. I know, I know. About time…read more What is there to say about Sub Cultured that hasn't been said already? Everything on the menu is delicious, the staff is wonderful, and they stand up to bigotry in their own backyard. You can't get much better than that. The only drawback (if you can even consider it one) is just figuring out a good time to arrive to avoid a line. Regardless, even if there is one, the staff moves through it quickly and efficiently. As Sub Cultured is a walk-up window, there's some outside tables to sit, as well as the option of sitting in your car for that car-hop action. Otherwise, you're so close to the beach and parks that taking your sandwiches for a picnic isn't a bad idea either. If you can't find parking immediately at Sub Cultured, there's a little shopping center just next door since there doesn't seem to be much for street parking outside of their handful of spots. All of that said, I'm a transplant to Jacksonville via the Navy since 2004. One of the biggest cravings that I have from back home is a real authentic sausage, pepper, and onion grinder. I can't even begin to describe to y'all how great Sub Cultured's is with that spicy Italian sausage and perfectly cooked peppers and onions. Add a little spicy brown mustard and you're all set.

Went here for lunch, requested to-go, ordered The Godfather with salt + pepper added, was ready in 10 min. You ever take a bite of food, take a deep inhale and just say "oh my god" to yourself? Yeah, so that happened. The creamy house made Italian sauce had me hooked and the balance of flavors + textures brought it home. Great food, great music, great service, oh and did I mention great food? Will be back very soon
