The Goal Post is one of our favorite places to grab a quick bite to eat & has been for years! We usually order the Camel Rider & Fries. Lately, however, our DD has been going with us and she orders the Chicken Salad & Tabouleh Pita (hot). Fresh and flavorful, the Goal Post never misses! read more

This place is a gem where you can tell the owners truly care about their customers. I always stop in for a pita sandwich either dine in or to go when I need a quick and easy lunch, and it never disappoints. It's the kind of spot that reminds you of what a local diner should be--friendly, reliable, and always delicious. Please don't ever change, Goal Post! read more

Goal Post Sandwich Shop - Inside seating - Delis Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Finally getting a chance to review this place. I've passed by it for a few years, but finally wanted a simple, no frills burger. Ordered the hamburger with fries and got a small drink as well. It was just under $13 which isn't terrible in this neighborhood. The people were very nice, no line, and my food was ready in under 5 minutes. The inside is like the food: simple and no frills. There are a few tables and some cute little swivel bar stools as well. I will definitely be back. read more

I love this place so much the food, service, and atmosphere is a 10/10. Definitely check it out.

I got there right before opening, he was kind enough to invite me in & made my breakfast sandwiches.Nothing like a classic Bacon, egg& cheese on white bread with a tomato! read more

Best egg salad I have ever had. Fast service. They treat everyone like family. Just cannot say enough!!! Love it

Love this place. Best kibble in a pita it's family owned and the people there are vey friendly.

After passing by for years I finally noticed their open sign was on early in the morning before I got to work so this day I was a hangree and I stopped. I was in and out in 5 minutes and when I got to work I sat down to a delicious breakfast sandwich. Egg, Bacon and American Cheese on a buttered toasted wheat bread never tasted so good! The young man who took and made my order was very nice. Apparently from my Yelp family reviews I need to go try that Camel Rider so its on my list to do read more

This is a great sandwich shop. I have been going here since I was in elementary school, I am now 46. Service is awesome. Food is so good!!

Good gyro! Extensive menu. Have to go back. Busy efficient service with kindness. Will go ba k

A local favorite - Goal Post does excellent renditions of all the Jax classic sandwiches. The key is the excellent tabouli, a key component of the veggie and desert riders. The steak in a sack is ground beef-based, with plenty of punchy banana peppers.l, and the Goal Post Special is like a steak in a sack on steroids. The prices are excellent, and the service is friendly and quick (calling ahead is an excellent idea if you don't want to wait in the occasionally long line of locals). read more

Good sandwiches at a reasonable price. Call ahead if it's to go as they are busy. Very courteous employees.

Goal Post is my favorite go to for a breakfast sandwich. My favorite is the bacon, egg & cheese in a pita. The bacon is cooked perfectly with the melted cheese all over. So delicious. I usually order ahead for pick up on my way to work. Their taboulli is their specialty so good, any sandwich with it is delicious. I like that it's so close and I can walk to the shop. With it being just across from Fishweir Elementary parking can be a challenge in the morning when parents are dropping off their kids. The couple who own the shop are very nice and pleasant to talk to. They keep the restaurant clean. Goal Post only serves breakfast & lunch. The busiest time is lunch so get there early. Love this neighborhood family owned sandwich shop. read more

Good quick sammich shoppe. Service is the kind you'd expect from a place like this; when their busy you may not get the friendly chat from the staff; but not bad. It's small inside and out. Little parking room read more

My sandwich was yummy and the service is super fast! This place is a small local restaurant that is easy to get into and have a yummy meal

Such a homey atmosphere. Simple but delicious food. We love stopping here to pick up food for a picnic in the park.

My go to place for a Falafel sandwich I've never tried anything else on their menu but they are pretty busy every time I drop in. I've tried Falafels elsewhere on the westside, none are as good and some (O.P.) were spitout nasty. For the best Falafels on the westside, Goal Post Sandwich is the place to go. read more

Goal Post is the BEST! The food, service and "WELCOME HOME" atmosphere is GENUINE! Have been enjoying delicious lunches and the above friendly owners and staff there for only four short years. That's to say that most all of the customers have been enjoying this service for well over 20 - 30 years or more! Whatever your taste in liking, Goal Post will not disappoint! From great burgers to the best tabouli anywhere! Be sure to get there and ENJOY! read more

This place is a gift. Great food and atmosphere. A go-to place for us. You might say "comfort food." Order at counter with room to sit and enjoy a burger or one of their classic riders! They succeed in spite of the lack of outside charm which is the responsibility of the property owner. read more

Favorite Jacksonville deli of all time. Can't go wrong with a veggie rider and fries, and a cherry limeade. Love the history of this place - it's been a Jacksonville staple for a LONG TIME !! read more

Think of your typical neighborhood sandwich shop but better. They serve the typical camel Ryder which sets this place a part. (They also serve breakfast). We went in for a late breakfast and it was exactly what you think of when someone says sandwich shop breakfast. Bacon, egg or sausage sandwich with cheese on bread or in a pita. Got the sausage and egg and cheese in a pita. Loved it. And of course perfectly made sweet tea! read more

I've been meaning to swing by this little deli for a long while, but every time that I have tried they were closed. This morning, I dropped my niece off to school nearby and headed over here to grab some breakfast before heading to my fellowship. I'm that person who, instead of getting a breakfast sandwich, orders a BLT and some tabouli. Yes, Goal Post Sandwich Shop is yet another deli in town run by a family of Middle Eastern descent. Please don't take this as a bad thing because it isn't. I *LOVE* being able to walk into, almost, any deli in Jax and have the ability to order some tabouli. It makes me a very happy camper. This particular deli puts their tabouli in a drink cup and you can order from 4 oz to 32 oz of it, if your heart wishes for that much. I ended up getting 8 oz, which came in a cup equivalent to that of a small coffee. That's quite a bit of tabouli if you think about it. Just like any Italian restaurant will cook their pizza or pasta differently, every person who makes tabouli makes theirs a little different. Goal Post's tabouli has no cucumbers and is mostly parsley, mint, with a bit of tomatoes, and of course, bulgur, but not as much as other taboulis that I've had. However, it's still delish! I have no qualms with my BLT either. Let me give some major props to Goal Post for being one of the first delis to not mistakenly put mayo on my sandwich, even after I asked for none. Believe it or not, that's about a one in a million shot. read more

The best tabouli sandwiches you will ever have. Order the sandwich with tabouli turkey and mayonnaise on it, it is the best restaurant here in Jacksonville. Definitely coming back. read more

I lived in the Avondale area 10 years ago and was close enough to walk to this place. Which I did. An embarrassing number of times for breakfast and lunch. I'm 40 now and have moved away from Jax, but whenever I get back I bend over backwards to come back to this place. It's still my favorite sandwich shop in the known world and I'll never get over the nostalgia of the little "community hub" cafe it provides. You're constantly running into neighbors and coworkers, grandparents with the grandkids...basically every good citizen under the sun. Always happy and stuffing their face as they show pictures on their phones and catch up on life. I've eaten most of the menu but their Camel Rider pita w/fries (seriously the best fries) is still my fave. Can't say enough about how much I love this place and the owners. Thank you for being a part of the community for so many years! read more

Yucky rainy day so decided to pick up laundry and have a Tuna melt!! Yummy! Grilled perfect fabulous sweet relish in Tuna! Great easy quick lunch staff is super friendly. Great local sandwich shop. read more

This place has gone to hell....it was never cheap but now .... Expensive AND Cheap Ingredients.......Ham and Cheese sandwich combo....(two thin pieces of ham and one slice of processed cheese.....small (cold) fries and small coke) $10.70. Never again. read more

I really hoped this was going to be our NEW go-to spot for sandwiches and Camel Riders but their Steak-in-a-Sack was really lackluster. It wasn't bad by any means but when The Sheik is a little bit farther down the road, you really have to up your game! We also tried their Falafel stuffed pita which was also rather forgettable. The quality of the pita was very soft and chewy! It was probably the best thing we tried there. We DID appreciate the fact that we made an order right before closing, but no negative feelings were felt. In fact, the owners threw in an EXTRA piece of baklava at no extra charge! Very nice! read more

If you swing by on a Saturday at 11:45ish, chances are really good that I'll be in a booth with the wife and kid. It's a part of our weekly routine and I look forward to it all week. Me -- steak in a sack, a corn dog and most of her fries; Her -- tabouli rider and fries Both -- happy as clams. Trust me - Goal Post gives you the strength you need to get through a full day of errands with a newborn baby. read more

I've been here twice. The first time for a gyro, that I was craving and referred by a friend. The gyro meat was pre-sliced lunch meat style gyro meat, and as the heart of the gyro, this was a fail for me. However, the french fries were nice and crispy, which I'm a big fan of! My second visit was because I was craving those crispy fries. I stayed away from the gyro and ordered a cheeseburger. I sat in horror as I watched the cook press down on my patty dozens of time while it was cooking, forcing any chance of juiciness out and banishing it the grease trap. Still, the burger was acceptable even if dry and those fries hit the spot. The prices here are decent too. It's a bit family run and divey, but the food is simple and except for the cardinal sin of pressing the crap out of a burger while cooking, it meets expectations. Now where to find a good gyro in Jacksonville? read more

This is the best place in town to get a Desert Rider. Their tabouli is super fresh and I usually get a cup of it to take home. Super fast service from a wonderful family and their employees. I have been eating here for 15-20 years now. I can't remember the first time, but I remember the flavor whenever I am hungry. read more

Y'know, this place hasn't changed AT ALL in like 35+ years. That is a good/bad thing. Though the "Gobbler" is now just a turkey sandwich, it is good and the Combo is a classic. Fries are institutional but ok. Tabouli is good. The bad? The owners have not upgraded ANYTHING with exception to maybe seating upholstery and that was probably because they were ripped and there was no way around it. I also feel sorry for the people who work here - they have to work in silence and the owner's wife hovers over them like she is going to beat them if they mess something up. It is fun to come here on a Saturday though and seeing all the Ortega Stepford wives here with their noses all in the air... read more

The greasy spoon staple of the Fairfax / Avondale area is fast and cheap and pretty tasty. Don't expect gourmet but it's not crap either. If you are in the area, it's great for a quick cheap lunch or breakfast. I recommend the desert rider or the gyro. Staff is friendly too. read more

Great sandwich shop! I usually get the Steak n' Sack, Desert Rider, or Goal Post Special. Steak n' Sack is a pita pocket with seasoned ground beef, lettuce, tomato and Italian dressing. Desert Rider is a pita pocket with 2 or 3 types of lunch meat, cheese, mayo and tabouli, then grilled. Goal Post Special is a pita pocket with 3 seasoned meat patties, lettuce, tomato and mayo. So good! Give it a try! read more

My favorite place for a veggie tabbouleh pita. They make the best in town with tabbouleh, cheese, and mayo all in a toasted pita. Not traditional but so good! My husband likes the steak in a sack as well as their sweet tea. Goal Post is a locally owned family business that provides delicious quick food at a good price. It may not be shiny and new, but it is perfect in my book. read more

This is a great neighborhood sandwich shop. I recommend the roast beef and tabouli rider. Whatever sandwich you get make sure it has tabouli on it, that is their specialty. Super friendly owners and lots of local repeat business. read more

This is the first place I ever tried Tabouli, and I loved it. Now, many years later, I've had Tabouli all over the place. I've tasted the best and the worst, and Goal Post's still ranks up there with the former. The veggie rider is a fabulous vehicle for this, but i can see how it is too rich and citrusy for some. Enter the Desert Rider. It features a variety of cold cuts with Tabouli for a condiment. They also serve up the unofficial sandiwich for the city of Jacksonville: Steak-in-a-Sack. This version of it has ground beef instead of the usual thin sliced steak with onions, but it's still among the best of them. read more
