With all love I write these words This is a hole in the wall joint for sure, but in all the best ways. This place hums like a well oiled machine, they move the crowds through fast while serving delicious food. They have a huge menu from full breakfast's, breakfast sandwiches, burgers and the fantastic steak-in-a sack. The food is always cooked fresh to order, hot and well seasoned and great service! The line for drive-thru is often 5 cars deep, but that's a good sign and trust us, it's definitely worth the wait. I recommend this establishment read more

My husband and I got food here thinking it would be a delicious hole in the wall since it's always busy in the morning. WRONG. I got the Philly cheesesteak. Hubby got an Italian sub. So wrong on so many levels. The Italian sub was not flavorful. It literally tastes like they put cheap Italian dressing on some cheap meat and American cheese and called it a day. The Philly was horrible. The meat, fine. The toppings??? BANANA PEPPERS????? American sliced cheese with shredded beef and canned mushrooms. CANNED. I got food poisoning later on from it all. I will say if you go make sure you look at reviews first on what's popular. Giving the benefit of the doubt we didn't get something good... BUT.. If you are a restaurant you shouldn't be serving crap food anyway. read more

I swung through this drive thru during lunch one day based off proximity, price, and prior ratings. They were not wrong, y'all. I drove straight up to the speaker, told her I hadn't been there before. She suggested the Steak in a Sack and I went for it. It comes w grilled onions, and I added mayo, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Next time I'll skip those (chz was ok, basically American, the L&T were messy and didn't add much IMHO). The pita was super fresh, the fries (I got mine seasoned) were piping hot. It was delicious. My only beef was that the drink that came with (I got 1/2&1/2 tea, tasty) was maybe 20oz and a bit small, I thought. Overall, great lunch spot n read more

Famous Sandwiches - Steak in a sack with seasoned fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Pretty good and fast service. Clean environment as well and staff are friendly and pretty reasonable prices

Great place. Love the customer service. i've been going to this place for three years now.

I've been coming to this location, on and off, for the last 25 years since I was in high school. Nothing about this place has changed - and that's a good thing! After all these years, staff has always been fast and friendly. The food has remained consistent and delicious. They have had the same menu items the entire time, why fix something that isn't broke? I recommend coming here for any meal, and I suggest the sacks. They do not disappoint! read more

Ever since I've had a burger from here a couple months ago I stopped going to the Sheik. Not only is Famous Sandwiches more reasonable priced. The burger and fries are just overall better. The steak sub is great as well. Never had an issue with customer service. read more

I came into Famous Sandwiches for a quick lunch and found a friendly, down to earth staff offering food at an inexpensive price point in extremely humble surroundings. This food is nothing fancy, not by any means, but it is good and a good place to grab a cheap lunch. I opted for the grilled chicken pita combo (with a drink and fries, I asked if I could swap out coleslaw for the fries, but was told I couldn't). The grilled chicken pita was easy, but a decent sandwich (since it is on pita, does it qualify as a sandwich? Since the place has sandwich in its name, I am going with it). The french fries were a bit weak, but I have had worse. Famous Sandwiches offers an alternative to fast food and a good one for the price point. read more

Discovered this place due to my daughter's proximity to her house. Kind of hole in the wall place but I saw how much traffic it was receiving so I thought I would try it out. Went through the drive through because the parking is pretty tight. I tried the Camel Rider Combo with seasoned fries and a Cherry Limeade. The sandwich has bologna in it which was a surprise. I was thinking steak and onions, but honestly tasted pretty good. Beware if you don't like raw onions because it had some in every bite. It also had what tasted like Italian dressing which made the sandwich. The fries where hot and fresh especially with the seasoning salt. They ask if you want it sprinkled on. And you can't go wrong with a Cherry Limeade. read more

This place is FANTASTIC! Every once in awhile I treat my classmates to meals and they return the favor. This morning a classmate brought me in breakfast as I had bought her and a couple others pizza last week- let me tell you- THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! It's my new go to breakfast place now. I had a breakfast sandwich, grits and an orange juice. All I can say is D-D-DAM. The egg and cheese sandwich was killer. Hash brown was killer. Grits were killer. Definitely recommend their food. read more

Decent little sandwich shop good quick service we go all there all the time for lunch

I went to famous this morning for fried pork chop with grits and eggs & toast and eat their all the time but I was disappointed with the pork chop it was burnt and looked and smell old I will still eat there but stick to the breakfast pita read more

This was axial my third time eating here. This particular time i got a fish fillet on pita and it was delicious. The fish was crisp on the outside but yet juicy on the inside. I've tried the Philly And chicken Philly but they didn't hit Lille the fish fillet. Yes it was fried. Speaking of fried, the fries are so mouth drooling, especially with the seasoning the ads at the end. And i can't forget about their limade. OMG! Check it out. read more

I was checking my Wells Fargo balance today & saw that I had $4.44 in there, but I was hungry. So I jumped in my car and headed to Famous Sandwiches on Cassat. Every time I come here, the service is so friendly. Even the lady behind me in line commented on how pleasant it is to come here. I concur. This place gets pretty busy during weekday lunch time and I believe they are open until 6pm. That being said, I went mid afternoon and there was no wait. Foodwise, I always order their Giant burger deal for $2.99 and it comes out to $3.20 after tax. With that meal, you get a refillable drink and a small fries with their magic salt. What a bargain, right? After digging in my purse for some change, I added an order of onion rings for $2.35. This time I ordered it to go so I could use my sauces I had at home. This place gets 5 STARS because they're cheap, service is on point and the food is consistently good. I heard their breakfast is tasty too, but that will be another time and another review. Definitely recommend! :) read more

100% the best sandwich shop I've ever been to, everybody is so nice and the food is so good. Service was perfect, the ambiance is cozy. Would eat here every day 100/10 read more

No, just no. This place is around the corner from my house and was told this place has been here for years. If you've been there for years I guess I made my expectations too high. First thing is it smelled like cleaning products all over. I'm very satisfied that you're cleaning but I don't want that to be the smell when I'm eating. Second, I absolutely can't handle rude service. Especially if you down talk another employee in front of your customers. We had just walked in and I was looking at the menu. The guys up front we're letting me decide while the girl in the back was yelling at them to get my order. I looked at her and told her I was still deciding. After a few moments she yelled at them again to get my order when I was still just in line. I felt rushed and upset that she was so rude to someone she worked with. Third, alright, let's get to the food talk. Let's be real honest for a combo meal for 2.99 I don't know what I was thinking I was getting. It's basically like going to McDonald's, just the local one. This was not for me. read more

Famous Sandwiches - Chicken sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Didn't enjoy the the very large and intimidating piece of link sausage . I ate one slice it didn't taste good or look appetizing so I threw it in the garbage. The grits and eggs were ok. Next time ,if I return I will get bacon. They are expensive for just breakfast. Customer service here? Nah! Order your food , pay for it and move to the side and wait for your order. I had take out, I wouldn't want to sit and eat in here unless I was dying for food now ( just not inviting). I can't comment on lunch or dinner which is also served here. read more

I go here when the day at work gets a little hectic. And I walk in the door and they say my name and makes me smile and then they say" What are we eating today?" We laugh they give me my AMAZING turkey and cheese with veggies on a pita with fries( no season salt ). Makes my entire day after that. read more

Famous Sandwiches - Alaskan fish sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I've driven by this place a thousand times and finally today I stopped in for a famous sandwich. Although there is a wide selection of pita combos, I opted for the double cheese burger combo because everyone else was ordering it and the total price was $5.30 for a small drink and fry. I was very happy with my selection and the burger was just as you'd hope--tasty, juicy and flavorful. Standard is lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mayo. Thick slice of tomato is always a pleasant surprise. Great to the last bite! At the counter they ask if you'd like season salt on the fries, which of course how could I turn down? Also very tasty. Overall a nice spot to stop for lunch. You could tell the place has regulars who've been coming for years! Although I probably won't become a regular, I'll certainly be a once-in-a-while! read more

Solid food served fast. Clean. Lunch for two: Camel Rider combo w/fries & drink + Philly Steak Sub=$14.33. The Camel Rider was ham, salami, Bologna, cheese, lettuce, mayo, dressing on a half pita. Meats and lettuce were fresh and ample. The Philly Steak was marinated steak, sautéed onions, cheese on a foot long hoagie roll. Served piping hot. Not too salty, tender beef, not too wet or dry. read more

My office and I have frequented this establishment several times, EVERYTIME something is wrong! We have decided driving from College Drive all the way to Kingsley to go to The Sheik rather than the Famous Sandwich on Blanding is better. They don't mess up. You ask for cheese Nope - You ask for onions to be added to your ham & cheese pita Nope you get a tomato. You ask for Steak and cheese only and you get only "roast beef" - (when did steak turn into roast beef just because there are no onions???????????? Stupid. You ask for seasoning on the fries sometimes it's there but mostly NOT. You ask for NO onions on the camel rider and you get double. You see where I'm going???? You suck! Your counter people say they can't fix the order because the manager is not in and too many people have lied about the food being wrong. Maybe it's not people lying maybe it's because your crew doesn't LISTEN. Slow down and listen, double check the cooks. We are not coming back. read more

This place is great. The value on the food is awesome. The cashier whom I assume is the manager is great with the customers and very polite. He knows his regulars orders by heart. read more

Best sweet tea in the JAX I've been around. Just how my grandma makes it in South Carolina.

Their breakfast is very reasonably priced and delicious. I must admit I've never tried their lunch food, but just their breakfast is worth five stars. Usually it's the pancake meal with bacon. Comes with more than enough pancakes, usually three large slices of bacon, and tons of butter and syrup. read more
