"Better than Philly itself!" I visited Philadelphia a couple of years ago, and honestly, this place tops anything I had there. I used to think Jersey Mike's was the gold standard for a sub, but this is on a completely different level--at least 100 times better. I'm officially a regular now; I'll probably be here a few times a week. I just hope I don't outgrow my clothes! read more

Solid cheesesteak sandwiches. 3.8/5 Good portion size for a half sandwich. Unfortunately didn't have my raw onions, chipotle peppers, or banana peppers which I paid extra for. I didn't notice until I got home.

I'm from Fla & have never been to Philly, so I don't feel qualified to weigh in on the Great Philly Cheesesteak debate that always starts up. However, I do love steak, cheese, & bread enough to know and recommend a delicious cheesesteak like this one I enjoyed from Eddis. I like my Philly "Wiz Witout" which means with cheese wiz and without onions. I loved every bite of this! read more

Best cheesesteak outside of Philly. Period. The roll, cheese, and meat were made to perfection, packaged correctly, and put together right! Delicious. read more

We visited Eddis & Sons on a late afternoon during a less busy time of day. You're greeted with a simple menu with the staples and decided to go for a classic Philly cheesesteak +mushrooms/peppers for $1.50 more plus some truffle fries and a Philadelphia local, Hank's glass bottled root beer. Each sandwich is made to order. There were four orders ahead of us and two workers in the kitchen. It took about 20-25mins to get our food which we were okay with as we had no rush, but definitely doesn't represent as easy grab and go spot --not that they're claiming that by any means. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a couple benches to wait for your order and a standing bar on the front window, but no indoor seating. The weather was nice enough to hang out on the front patio tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Philly Cheesesteak was up there with the best I've had. I haven't made a trip to Philly, but as the numerous customer feedback cards on the wall suggest, this was a delicious authentic cheesesteak! Truffle fries were expertly seasoned with a pretty standard garlic aoli and didn't seem overly greasy/salty as I've had other places. Food portions were generous as one sandwich (fork for scale) and order of fries satisfied my wife and me. All-in-all great little spot to take a load off after shopping St. John's or if you're nearby with some time to burn! We plan to return! read more

Honest review: it's okay. Huge cheesesteak guy so I gave it another chance. I came once a few years back, it was very dry and lacked flavor. Came back today and tried to make a few changes from my last order just to see if there was any change but unfortunately no. It still lacked that wow factor. I do love their bread though. Very friendly staff but personally it's not the hype that everyone talks about. Jax just doesn't have the ideal cheesesteak that I crave like the ones from Philly. I give it a 7.2/10 read more

The best cheesesteaks I've had outside of Philly in over 20 years. Every time I eat here, it seems to get better. Today, I cashed in my loyalty card and received a free cheesesteak. Make sure you get your card stamped when you come here. What great food. Today, we had 2 classic cheesesteaks, the Philly way wit onion wit wiz. Just glorious rib eye steak, onions, and cheese wiz. The best way to taste the quality of the ingredients. Absolutely delicious. My wife, who grew up right outside of Philly in South Jersey, was glowing with happiness while eating her cheesesteak. I love watching her eat these cheesesteaks. I also purchased something for the 1st time today. It's a cheessteak inside of cups of iceburg lettuce for people who are on a no carb diet or, for some reason, don't want the glorious philly bread. My son loved it and was able to keep going on his diet. Everything we've ordered from here has been great. The staff can not be nicer no matter how it busy it is. They take the time to great and serve each customer individually. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has the ambiance of many cheesesteak locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you want a real cheesesteak, this is the place. to go!! Enjoy!!! read more

This place has been on my list for a while, and I finally got to try it. I ordered it through delivery, but it was still amazing. I got the classic cheesesteak with American cheese. It was phenomenal. I also ordered a side of truffle fries, and those were delicious as well. I need to go in person next time so I can have it right off the bat rather than wait for it to be delivered from a service. It's one of my favorite cheesesteak spots now! read more

Call off the dogs! I have been on a quest to find the best cheesesteak in Jacksonville and Eddie and Sons topped the list today! My current top 5 is as follows: 1. Eddie & Sons 2. D&LP Subs 3. Subcultured 4. Surfwiches 5. Clarke Brothers I was beginning to think nothing would top D&LP, whose subs I adore, but Eddie and Sons did that today. When I get a cheesesteak, my preferences are white American cheese, onions and peppers. Eddies was about as perfect as you can get from meat to bread to cheese to peppers and onions. If you're looking for a cheesesteak in Duval, you can't go wrong with any of these options but Eddies is the king! read more

Since hearing about Eddis & Sons Cheesesteaks I have been wanting to check them out and I will say I for sure waited too long. The good news it's close to my office. The bad news I'm now completely remote so I'm just not in the area often but this time I was coming on-site and new this would be my day to try them out. We walked in around 12:05PM on a Wednesday and the 2 women working welcomed us. They also seemed very busy but there were only about 3 people who seemed to be waiting. We also realized there were also a number of online orders too. After about 10 minutes she said we could order since they were behind. I went with the Classic Cheesesteak Wiz Wit (with cheese wiz and onions and fries. I will say glad we got there when we did because by 12:15PM-12:20PM the place had become packed. After about 15 minutes from ordering out food was ready and the waiting for sure made me hungry. I quickly got into my cheesesteak and it looked very good. Finely chopped rib-eye that was well seasoned nice and tender with no tough piece and also plenty of cheese wiz which is always a plus for me. I will say the onions were well caramelized but with the beef it was a little greasier them I normally like. For sure looked with a lot of oil. But still good for me when it comes to cheesesteaks in Florida. Also one half of my cheesesteak for sure had more meat then my other half. The fries were crinkle cut which are on a lower tier for fries for me but they were nice and crispy. Almost like they were fried twice. All and all I enjoyed Eddis & Sons Cheesesteaks and it for sure a top 5 cheesesteak I have had in Jacksonville and for sure the best on this side of the bridge. I will say for tips: Order online if possible and maybe try and get there before 12:00PM. Couldn't believe how packed it got and so quickly. read more

Hands down my favorite cheesesteak place in JAX! I am from New Jersey and would frequently visit Philly for an authentic steak. This place is as close as you can come without being in Philly itself. The cheesesteaks are always fresh, delicious and huge! I always get the cheesesteak with American cheese and grilled onions. I am never disappointed. They also have the best root beer (Hanks) I have been here plenty of times and I recommend it to anyone I know looking for an amazing Philly cheesesteak! They have really good fries and a really awesome special deal that comes with fries and a drink! So thankful for the piece of home in Jacksonville!!! read more

Came here for lunch today and was blown away at how absolutely delicious the cheesesteak was. I've been to Philly and opted to go for the wit with whiz. Had a similar one in New Jersey a couple of years ago and can honestly say this was the best of all the cheesesteaks I've eaten. I opted for the lunch special but to be fair, I'd rather have had the larger sub just to have left overs. The lunch special comes with a 7" cheesesteak, fries and a drink. The fries were hot, fresh and lovely and crispy. I wish they'd open a store on the other side of the river, but then my waist says I'm glad they're not lol. These could definitely become addicting. My photo didn't do it justice, but trust me it was packed full of meat with just the right amount of whiz. Given that it was lunch time I was surprised it wasn't busier although there were two people ahead of me. My order consisted of 3 lunch specials and all were served within approximately five minutes and packaged to go. They do have a few picnic tables to eat outside if you prefer there read more

Finally got the chance to try this place out! Located on a tiny strip plaza on Bowden Rd and very convenient from my office. I'd say they have a good variety of cheesesteak subs/hoagie. I wanted something light and delicious so I choose the Daily 7" Philly Special vegan with Beyond "meat" and vegan cheese. It comes with small fries and a Pepsi or water. Definitely add the onions! Very good and delicious, not super greasy and just about the right amount of food. Felt satisfied and most definitely want to return to try out other menu items such as the Truffle fries. Highly recommend for lunch! read more

I'm from the Philadelphia area originally and make at least one trip back for a Phillies game every summer. I'm fussy about my cheesesteak and rarely try one outside of Philadelphia. I gave Eddis a shot and was pleasantly surprised. Cheesesteak was ordered wit , wiz. Really the only way to order one. Good size and I decided I was only going to eat half and save the rest for later. Ended up eating the whole thing. Very good roll and the correct ratio of meat, onions and cheese. I'll definitely go back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Grab a steak, go sit outside on the metal tables and tell me, in a weird way ,you don't feel like you are in Philly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I love cheesesteaks and honestly don't trust many places to make a good one. I've been sorely disappointed on many occasions. This is consistently one of the best cheesesteaks I've had outside of Philly! I crave this place at least once a month and have been coming for the last year. I've only had one experience where my sandwich wasn't top notch. It's a small shop, not meant for dine-in, but there are tables and benches outside for eating. I definitely recommend calling beforehand because the waits tend to be pretty long, especially around lunch and dinner time. If I were going to knock a star off, it'd be for wait time. I get the cheesesteak with onions and mushrooms. If I'm feeling extra greedy, I get extra meat and extra cheese (pictured below). The hoagies are always nice and fresh, the meat is juicy and flavorful, and the white American cheese is chef's kiss. The game changer though? I always ask for the cheese on top! That way I get the best ratio of meaty cheesy goodness, rather than having the bread try to be the star of the cheese show. Amazing! If you're looking for a solid cheesesteak, Eddis & Sons is the way to go. Writing this review is making me hungry, I just might stop by today! read more

So I got the vegan cheese steak and the only reason it's not 5 stars is THEY DIDN'T PUT ANY CHEESE ON MY CHEESESTEAK . Buuuuut I digress because the sun SLAPPED and saved my day. I ordered from two separate vegan restaurants and while kravegan made me want to puke Eddis was a much needed comfort.

Ex Philly girl here (aka expert), Eddis is THE BEST vegan Philly cheesesteak I have ever had. In Florida, in Philly, heck, I even had a vegan Philly in the middle of Spain. Nothing beats Eddis. Everyone I bring a reg Philly to is blown away, "tastes better than home". Place is ran by actual PA transplants, they're always super nice. They even say "water ice" correctly.

I'm so glad I went to get a Philly today. Philly Cheesesteak with whiz, onions, mushrooms, and jalapeños coupled with fries. Sat in their new outdoor seating on a gorgeous day and got a chance to truly relax. The cheesesteak was times two. Absolutely delicious beyond compare. Nice fresh hot fries were the perfect combo. I have raved about them before and today just seemed that much better. I you want a true Philly, this is the only place in Jax that can deliver. People there are genuine and hard working. Great job everyone! read more

With the owners from Philadelphia, Eddie & Sons is a gem located in a rather nondescript, time worn shopping center in Jacksonville, Florida. Having lived in Philadelphia, I can attest that this place offers a fine homage to the iconic sandwich created in the City of Brotherly Love. Being the owners are originally from Philadelphia, they know the nuances, both big and small, that can make a restaurant centered around a Philly cheesesteak great. The key to a great cheesesteak is obviously the steak. In Philadelphia, the steak of choice for a cheesesteak sandwich is thinly shaved ribeye. Not only does Eddie & Sons use that ribeye, but they put it on an Amoroso roll, a beloved roll in Philadelphia. They offer a choice of cheeses, including "wiz," which blends with the meat and makes for a glorious filling. They also offer a variety of cheesesteaks you would find in Philadelphia, things like a cheese steak hoagie, which includes lettuce, tomato and mayo, and the pizza steak, which is topped with provolone and tomato sauce. This is a long-standing favorite cheesesteak of mine and this is what I ordered. This was a serious sandwich and done very well. A great meat to bread ratio and the tomato sauce and cheese blended perfectly. One great little nuance that brings a bit of Philly down to the Sunshine State is the fact that they offer Old Bay seasoned french fries. Old Bay is truly a beloved Philadelphia choice to season your order of french fries. If you find yourself in Jacksonville, I would recommend a visit here. read more

4 stars because the customer service was stellar. 3 stars for the food. The bread was soft and warm with cheese that held the meat in place. The meat was very slightly seasoned, but the onions gave it needed flavor. Not Philly comparable, but a decent sandwich. Unfortunately, I didn't eat the fries because they tasted like the grease needed changing. read more

Alright so here it is. First off this place does deserve 5 starts, I've had it a few times before today and it's been incredible and definitely the most comparable to an authentic Philly. TONS of meat and cooked perfect every time before today. I walked in to pick up a phone order today, and instead of the normal guy who kills it on the grill it was a woman I've never seen. Not sure if she's new, so if she is I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Plus she was extremely nice when I walked in and she was working hard. Although I have to say, if these are the portions moving forward I'm not sure if I'll keep going here as it's just not the same. I will definitely go back again in hopes that it's the same as the first five times I've been. All of the staff has been awesome every time I've been here. Still giving 5 stars because I've loved this place before, and I hope to again. Although as of today I'm still hungry after a full cheesesteak and fries, and before you think it. I'm 190 lbs, not 300 lbs. Looking forward to getting it again in the next few weeks and crossing my fingers for the best! read more

Stopped in today with some friends for some lunch at this establishment which is located in a strip mall on Bowden Road near Salisbury Road. The facility has a small menu that consists of different types of cheesesteaks, fries, and chips along with various bottled sodas and waters. There is no indoor seating only limited outside seating or placing a to-go order. We opted for an order to go as I was hot outside but hotter in the restaurant. All area were clean but definitely a little dated. Staff was friendly but they had to scream a little or talk loud bc the kitchen is so noisy. All orders are made at time of order. In ordered the cheese steak hoagie (cheese steak with LTO and mayo) with some old bay fries. Your cheesesteak will come with a choice of cheez whiz, white cheddar and provolone), I opted for provolone. All of my items were well cooked and packaged to avoid a mess. When I got back to my office, I dug in and found the food to be delicious but I was surprised that my friends 7 inch sub from her value meal deal (sub, small fries and a drink) was the same size as my full size sub. Good meal and would recommend it but urge you to make sure you have somewhere to take it to eat it and time to wait for it to be prepared. read more

What's once a Food Truck has now turned into their first brick and mortar store. Eddis and Sons Handcrafted Cheesesteaks opened up for business 3 weeks ago and it just so happens that a good Philly Cheesesteak sandwich are just some of the food I'm always on the hunt for. Now I've had a couple of good Philly Samiches here and there, and that's about it. And last I've had an authentic Philly Sandwich, I was in Philadelphia and that was many moons ago. So when I heard of Eddis serving Phillies, I just had to check them out.  Walking inside the store, I had a chance to speak with Mike, who happens to be a native Philadelphian. Between Mike and Chris (the owner, also a native Philadelphian), their vision of bringing authentic Cheesesteak sandwiches comes to life. Mike gave me some good tid bits about the new place. Their strip steaks comes directly from Philadelphia; they're flash frozen Delmonico & Rib eye mixture. The bread and rolls they use are shipped directly from Amoroso's, a famous bread shop in Philadelphia. Same goes for their pickled peppers. So without further adoo...what did I order looking at the menu? A Philly Cheesesteak of course and it was a rather delicious one. Now the fries, it was just meh to me.  Please stop by their new store and show them some local love. read more

Woo! While I haven't checked out the in-person experience, their delivered sandwiches are top notch and -- as a mostly vegetarian eater -- a great way to satiate a cheesesteak craving while staying meatless. My husband, who's picky when it comes to sandwiches, gave his classic cheesesteak two thumbs up, and I give the same to my Beyond cheese"steak" sandwich. The bread is perfect, the onions were grilled nicely, and the provolone cheese rounded it out to be on par with my in-Philadelphia experiences. (And yes, they also have Cheese Whiz. Or American, if you prefer.) Their menu can accommodate vegans, vegetarians, and low-carb eaters and be delicious while doing so. The only thing I'd do different next delivery is skip the fries, but that's just because fries never travel well -- not their fault! Gonna have to stop in to get the fresh Old Bay fries experience... And get a Hank's soda! read more

The best cheesesteak I've had in a very long time. Highly recommended and will always go here for now on

Fast forward 5 years later. Eddis and Sons Cheesesteaks now have a brick and mortar location. I came here for lunch and ordered the Cheesesteak sandwich with provolone. It was a massive sandwich. I should have opted for the smaller sandwich with fries and a drink for around the same price. They made it fresh and the wait was about 5 minutes. Some decent decorations in the lobby. Didn't see any indoor seating. The sandwich was just okay. Not as good as Carmines, but it wasn't bad. read more
