Always a happy place full of friendly people. My first time coming here was when I was 14, I'm now 57. Great sandwiches, you'll throw rocks at the other meh sandwich places... read more

Hands down, my favorite sandwich shop in Jax. The Russ Doe Special is the bomb! Can't be anywhere near there without stopping in for lunch. Go early or be prepared to stand in line. And if there is a line, no worries, it's 100% worth it! read more

*** CASH ONLY*** There is an ATM on site; however, it charges a fee for transactions. First time here. As I walk into the store, it is buzzing --people are all over. While one might say that's a good thing, as I watched the store operate, all I saw was chaos and disorganization. I asked the server for their recommendations, and I was given the special of the day. It was a half-assed, seasoned ground beef pita with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Everything this is A-Lé cart. I don't feel as though there is value in what I received. read more

Great food and cheap prices! They get customers out fast even though they are a busy location.

This was my favorite place to go to for breakfast and lunch. The food was always great and the staff was very friendly.

*Cash Only* Hubby and I met up for lunch at Russ-Doe's recently. They were fairly busy during lunch rush. We only waited a few minutes to order and our sandwiches were ready quickly. We headed outside and grabbed a picnic table. We both ordered the club, mine with wheat bread and his with white bread. I thought the club was very good. Simple yet flavorful and fresh. The bacon was cooked perfectly, the lettuce was shredded, the tomato was sliced thinly and it had the right amount of mayo. If you're looking for a quick and affordable lunch, check out Russ-Doe's. read more

Russ-Doe's Sandwich Shop - Club on Wheat - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

A jacksonville institution. Maybe the best sandwiches in town, certainly the best dessert bars. Choose from your southern favorites, egg salad, chicken salad, corned beef hash, hot dog, ham salad and even PBJ. Know the rules, come in step to the left and get in line. Take the time in line to figure out what you want on the menu because when you get to the counter you need to order. Once you order, step to the right and moments later - viola- you will walk away with a mighty fine sandwich. Tip: Choose one of the dessert bars on the counter. I am not ever sure what it is, but it sure is good. I don't go her often because it is a little bit of a drive, but it is so worth it when I do. read more

I have to start out saying the reason I didn't give 5 stars is because access is not as wheelchair accessible as it could be. My parents had the camel rider and they loved it! Thick with meat they enjoyed the pita rider, something they enjoyed in years past. I had the egg salad, freshly made that day but just a tad in the watery side today The personalized customer service was great and it seems staff really know their clients! I will be back for sure! read more

Russ-Doe's Sandwich Shop - people eating outside - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Cash only! Great place, good food great service. Can sit in or out. Great place. The feel is rustic but clean and friendly.

Russ Doe's is such an underrated, local treasure! Located right by the stadium, Russ Doe's is a convenient breakfast and lunch sandwich shop. They're open really early so I sometimes stop by before work - I recommend the breakfast cup. I pick up lunch two or three days a week and grab my usual chicken salad sandwich, chips and a sweet tea (they make the best)! They do not have a fryer so don't count on having fries or chicken tenders. They serve classic sandwich shop food like steak in sack, burgers, or even a pb&j. They only accept cash, though they do have an ATM on site if you need one. Plenty of parking. My mom used to go to Russ Doe's for lunch back when she was my age, now I'm carrying on the tradition since she's retired. I'd love to see this local gem get some more attention! read more

Russ-Doe's Sandwich Shop - Chicken Salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Amazing. The grilled chicken pita sandwich I had was awesome. Will have to go back there again or have someone go get it for me. It would be nice if they were opened on weekends or during sporting events but I can understand why they have certain set hours. My sandwich was really good and I would probably get it again. read more

Yummy food, expensive and good customer service can't beat it! Highly recommended! I go every morning for breakfast read more

Russ-Doe's Sandwich Shop - Breakfast sandwich ham - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Definitely a working man/woman's lunch spot. Reasonably priced, super fast and friendly service and excellent sandwiches. I appreciate how they always have a big crew of employees working and if anyone is available, kitchen or counter, they will start on your order before you even reach the front of the line to pay. Yes, cash only but this is no surprise and even if you are especially low on cash one day they have a peanut butter and jelly on the menu you can order for pocket change. We like the pita pocket sandwiches. I ordered the special and it was nicely seasoned ground beef with onions and all the fixins. My husband's go to is the grilled chicken pita but he says the burgers and steak sandwiches also deserve a glowing recommendation. There are some picnic tables outside to enjoy lunch on a nice day, but we usually just grab a quick lunch to go back to work. read more

What year is it that a business can actually be open and only accept cash? Sorry I refuse to pay an additional 3.75 surcharge to use your atm read more

Solid local spot. Looks like you are ordering in someone's house. Cash only fyi but good value. Really liked it. Outdoor seating

Food was good till i got half way into my pita sandwich and found a LONG DARK HAIR in my lettuce, I WANTED TO THROW UP I WAS SO DISGUSTED, all these people handling food need to wear a hair net or tie it up. Nothing worse than start enjoying the food and pull hair connected in the lettuce! JUST DISGUSTING!!!! so sad read more

I had read reviews about this little sandwich shop in the industrial district right near my client's site before I even flew into jacksonville. Sure enough, I was pressed for time and the client said we should grab lunch there and bring it back to the office. On cold or rainy days they are slower, so you won't see many ppl sitting outdoors on their benches. I ordered the philly, with a bag of Dirty's chips, a slice of carrot cake and a large sweet tea. Where else can you get all this for under $10....not many places at all!! I'm not sure what type of meat they use, but it appears to be thinly sliced layers of beef, then rolled in half and grilled. Either way, it is a pretty tasty sandwich and unlike any philly I've ever had. read more

Russ Doe's is the kind of place you could live in Jacksonville all of your life and never know about. The moment you happen upon it, you'll wonder why you never discovered it years earlier. This is the kind of old school neighborhood mom and pop breakfast and lunch spot that you'll suddenly yearn for more of once you rediscover what they once felt like. You won't see a menu that caters to dining fads like grass fed beef, duck bahn mi, wasabi kale chips or fourme d'ambert. Russ Does focuses on time proven classics at affordable prices. You may not even see the menu at all. It's easy for your mind to wander while gazing upon the memorabilia encompassing nearly any and all events that have ever happened at nearby Jacksonville Municipal Stadium (that's Gator Bowl for the old schoolers, Everbank Field for the new kids on the block). As you take a trip down memory lane gazing upon pictures of that Roling Stones concert you'll probably bump shoulders with dock workers who want to get in and out for their call ahead orders, so eyes down and focus on ordering some food! My favorite is the Russ Does special: seasoned ground beef, small diced onions, lettuce, tomatoes and a hint of mayo stuffed in a pita. The ground beef is seasoned with a 'special family ingredient'. It's certainly not run of the mill seasoned salt, the taste is more complex with a hint of sweetness that is complemented well by the whipped mayo. This and a soft drink will set you back $5.50. Another favorite is the mesquite grilled chicken: large chunks of mesquite flavored chicken with sautéed onions, lettuce, tomato and cheese inside a pita. There isn't a sandwich on the menu that will run north of $6. You'll receive your order before you even have a chance to pay for it. The friendly women behind the counter almost trip over each other to receive and prepare your order. With food in hand, head outside to enjoy your meal seated at one of the many picnic tables under the cool shade of three large oak trees. I have to imagine this is what eating a homemade lunch out on the countryside would feel like as you seek out the nearest shade tree, dig into your brown bag lunch and enjoy the cool breeze while relaxing from a morning of hard work on the pasture. Interesting factoids -Russ Does is cash only. There is an ATM on site, however be prepared to not rely on the modern convenience of a credit card. I hate carrying cash, but I think this cash only policy simply adds to the old school aura that is Russ Does -The true untold secret of this under the radar institution? They have the best banana pudding in town! -One of the few places in town where you'll likely be eating next to members of the Jacksonville Jaguars coaching staff. -Current and third generation family owner, Russell Smith, gave his children quite the athletic DNA. His daughter was an accomplished cheerleader at UNF and his son Rusty Smith became the first quarterback from Jacksonville to start an NFL game when he led the Tennessee Titans against the Houston Texans on 11/28/10 (which would explain the odd presence of a Tennessee Titans helmet next to a Jacksonville Jaguars helmet next to the ATM inside the restaurant). read more

This is a cash only extablishment so be prepared for that. It reminds me of ordering at the soup Nazi! You better know what you want when you walk in and be prepared to order and get out-of-the-way. But the food is always super hot and super fresh. I like the breakfast in a cup with bacon. But you should also know there is hardly any salt in the grits so grab some packets on your way out the door. Lots of nice outdoor seating in the shade. read more

I am embarrassed that it has taken me 10 years to finally try this place! The food is amazing, and I am now on a journey to try everything on the menu. I started with a club--as simple as it--and have come to the conclusion that something so simple can only be that delicious because it is dusted with crack. It's the only explanation! So this has become my Friday lunch spot until I die or the owners retire (hopefully the former!). If you haven't tried this place, hit an ATM (because they are anti-credit cards) and stop in--you will not regret it! read more

This place is everything you would expect from a hole in the wall sandwich shop. Tons of classic options, quick service, and delicious food. Many drink options, and the ability to remove or add various things to your sandwich or pita. We got sandwiches for our office and we were in and out in ten minutes. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Russ-Doe's Sandwich Shop - Sandwiches Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Everything that I've eaten has been great. My usual go-to is a burger or tuna salad sandwich. They're ridiculously fast. The ordering system when you enter can be confusing at first, with different people going into the group to grab orders. Once you've seen it, it's easier. The prices are nice on the wallet. I wish they were open for dinner, but being open bright and early during the weekdays is an okay compromise. Family feel sandwich shop. read more

Come here every morning for me and my teams breakfast and lunch. Great service, very clean, QUICK and great prices. Sandwich shop style menu, plus they'll make whatever you want, anyway you want it. I was coming here so often I asked the owner if he could get me wheat wraps for my breakfast sandwiches, he now stocks wheat wraps off the menu for my breakfast wraps and lunchtime chicken quesadillas. Mom and pop and worth every penny, locals and officials often standing in line waiting. Cute outside deck and benches for outside eating. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

This local mom & pop sandwich shop is a perfect place to have lunch. I ordered the chicken salad on a pita and it was absolutely mouthwatering.

I first discovered Russ-Does over 25 years ago. It is everything you want in a breakfast and lunch joint. It's fast. It's good. And it's pleasant to walk in the door. Breakfast in a sac is a great way to start the day. For lunch try the Russ-Does special or a hamburger. And don't forget dessert. It's all good !!! read more

Great place to pop in for food. Fast and friendly service. But you need cash. I recommend the pita bread for everything on the menu. I was in and out in about 3 minutes. read more

Great place for a quick bite!!! I go here when I need a very fast lunch downtown. It is CASH ONLY so be prepared!! The sandwiches are about $5 each, and chips are $1. Very affordable. Keep in mind, this isn't gourmet food, a lot of it is just deli meats, but you get a lot for what you pay for. read more

Now I have been eating at Russ-Doe's for maybe going on 25-30 years now. It is a locally owned and operated by the same family for al of those too. You get in and you get out. That's outside for seating. You don't want to dilly dally around here. You look at the menu on the wall and order or you will be cut in front of with a quickness. Their are 5-6 ladies behind the counter making sandwiches. So you order, pay and within a couple of ,minutes you are eating. This is a quick little breakfast and lunch place that caters to the dock workers of the factory workers both with not much time for lunch. The women or even Russ who still works the counter during lunch most every time that I have been in there. Today I got the Russ doe's special and a normal camel rider. Both of these together cost me about 8.50. The special is some seasoned ground beef and it is seasoned with a combination of spices that leaves me wondering what the heck is the one spice that I can't put my finger on. The camel rider was just that some bologna, ham, lettuce, tomato, and mayo in a pita. This is a worker bee type of place so you will not get no foo foo here. You will get a descent sandwich at a really cheap price and you will get it fast. read more
