One word- exceptional! The lady taking our order was so sweet & helpful. The service was fast & good. The bleu cheese smash burger was delicious (and yes messy!). The veggie sandwich had very fresh veggies & a delicious sauce. And of course the fries- we split an order & couldn't eat them all. Really good seasoning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant & bathrooms were very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now if they would just open another restaurant near Tyndall AFB in PC that would be great! read more

Oh my, I kept driving by here and never stopped. Finally stopped and got a burger. They have a small menu and niche hours but my my their burgers are great. They do a smash style burger and everything is super messy and they lean into having a messy meal. Their fries are hand cut and shoe string, DELICIOUS, perfect seasoning. I tried their au jus was fantastic and meaty. I got the bacon burger and my other member got the BBQ burger. They had a raving review, though had to wash their hands lol. Seriously good food for good price and worth supporting locals. read more

Awesome hidden gem on Eglin pkwy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a lot of space inside, and order at the counter kind of mom and pop spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is amazing! I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and WOW!

In town to see the grandkids and saw Sax and decided to visit and we are so glad we did! Our sandwiches were awesome and a small fry can feed a small army :).

[[HIGHLIGHT]]When we walked in we felt like this is a local joint, which is what we were looking for.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We have been here 3 times in two weeks. First time we asked what was their best seller and we were told the Smoked Bacon Cheddar burger so we ordered two along with a small fry to split. The small fries are enough for 4 people and they will tell you it serves 2-4. We have t had a good bar burger in a long time and this burger blew our socks off. Second time we ordered to bring home and had this burger along with a Ruben and fried bologna sandwich and fries. The fries are delicious and what I would call a shoestring fry. We enjoyed all 3 sandwich's but when we stopped back in a 3rd time we both ordered again the smoky bacon cheddar burger. Something about the slightly crispy edges of the burger hanging out from the bun and all its goodness inside the bun. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Both times we ate inside we must have gotten there at just the right time because the place had a 3-4 people eating and we walked right up to the counter and by the time we put our order in we had 6-8 people behind us in line as the ta Les quickly filled up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Besides tables inside there is a counter with bar stools and seating outside on a veranda.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always clean and friendly service. read more

Been here twice from Kentucky and have to say it's always worth to make the stop here! Never been disappointed in their quality (and enormous quantity) of their food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus the atmosphere of the place is very chill and great for family outings[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My first trip with my son who raved about SAX. So I had high expectations and I have to say I was not disappointed. SAX is a local sandwich shop with a great sandwich menu. While I wanted a burger the Ruben caught my attention. My son had the Spicy Blue Cheese Burger. The service was awesome you order at the bar and the staff is friendly and prompt ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the high tables where you can meet new people while enjoying your meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were playing old classic jazz and blues.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Ruben was awesome - amazing thousand island - gooey Swiss cheese - tender corned beef and sauerkraut and perfectly grilled rye - their shoe string French fries were tasty especially with the male vinegar they provide. Will be returning soon to try the burgers which my son said was "the Bomb" - so check it out !! read more

This place is amazing. We random found it on our way back from a trip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is 50s or 60s. Old music playing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and they give you a number that you stick on your table after ordering. The burgers are money!!! The fries are just right. One small fries is enough to feed 2 people. Highly recommend this gem. read more

service: counter help was friendly. no one ever checked to see if everything was ok. food: soup of the day fr.onion may have been a day or two old, black thick broth and very salty! "hand cut fries" fries were from a frozen bag and apparently the bottom of the bag. fries appeared to be frost bitten, burnt and old And Very salty!! 1/2 panini club, bacon Burnt to a crispy crisp, could not eat, again appeared to be left over from days before. i would have complained to a mgr or supervisor but didn't appear to be one. it's lunch time they are somewhat busy, seem to have plenty of help, but no one checked on me, if they had I could have given them a chance to rectify this, I didn't know which kid to stop and complain too. Will not be back. FB reviews ALL positive, except for mine, wonder how long it will last on their page read more

Tried Sax today for the first time and I had a pretty good experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean when I walked in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service was great. They were quick and efficient with our food and portions are a nice size. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They started getting busy around lunch but I could tell they were handling it pretty well or hiding it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The best sandwich spot in FWB. Great food made in house and great value too. Spicy Bleu burger and crispy fried are my favorite. Their burger buns are top notch, I think they make them too. 5/5 would recommend read more

As I've said before, best burger and fries in area. Also, by far the [[HIGHLIGHT]]best music played at a restaurant ever![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

LOVE! I absolutely love cheeseburger joints. If I was stuck on an island with one thing to eat it would definitely be cheeseburgers. You walk in and go directly to the counter to order. They give you a number and deliver it to your table. I ordered the mushroom and swiss burger and fries. It came wrapped in white paper and was heavy. So unbelievably good. It smelled so good that I totally forgot to take a picture. Oh well, I'll just have to go back and get another. read more

Best scratch made burgers and the bunnnnnsss !! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is very family friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the outdoor seating feels not too outdoorsy which is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Fries are perfect. Burger is big girl and messy. Oh and taste out of this world. You get a lot of fries. Small is way enough.

Great friendly informative service! Excellent food! It has a good condiment and drink self serve counter. When we went we were first in line to order but very shortly after they had a line that was almost completely out the door so it is obviously a very popular place to have lunch. I had a burger, fries, and drink. My son in law had a fried bologna sandwich, fries, and a drink. Our bill was $28. Everything was delicious!. read more

What a horrible place to eat. For the $32 for 2 sandwich's, the potato salad and 2 drinks this place should have been better. The potato salad was just as bad, no flavor except for wayyyy toooo much vinegar. read more

Great Cuban sandwiches and fries. A small fry was enough for two. The fries were so crisp, tasty, and different that we didn't even use ketchup. The only suggestion I'd have is the mustard on the cuban needed to be better but it was still good read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Hands down the best burger I've ever had. Cooked to order toppings are perfect. Fries are amazing and the service is fast. If you're one for a good burger Sax grille is what 5 guys tried to be. read more

Ambiance is great, locals love it. Great tasting food and fresh ingredients. The fries are fresh cut and yummy- they were all nubs tho. Brownie was tasty too. Service was good- order at counter and get your own drinks which is fine. read more

People had a lot of great things to say about this place and I hope I just hit it on an off day. I ordered the 1/2 fried Bologna sandwich with a salad. The salad was... well, a salad. No biggie. The sandwich.... Ummmm.... Less than appetizing. The bologna was pretty much a thin, waaaaay overcooked slice. Really thin. I haven't tried shoe leather yet but I can guess it was comparable. Now, this next part is on me. I have never had a fried bologna sandwich with Mayo (and mustard). As a southern staple, it's usually mustard. The over generous amount was enough to say, "no more". Disgusting amount of Mayo. If there is a Mayo shortage, now you know why. I scraped off what I could and it literally filled the bottom of the basket. The fries are pretty decent though! read more

Today was my first time there. I was referred to try their food months ago. They just changed their hours to be open until 8:30pm daily. I ordered the Reuben sandwich with coleslaw. And that was the very best Reuben sandwich I have ever had in my life!!! It was amazing! The service was perfect! And the atmosphere was very upbeat! Very clean facility! Loved it very much, what a treat! read more

A friend and I visited for lunch on his recommendation. They were quite busy, but the wait to order was minimal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is nice, but we ate outside, on the covered terrace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was craving a cheeseburger, so I had the Swiss mushroom burger with grilled onions. Wow. The burger was quite large and delicious. The mushrooms were porcini and added a lot of flavor. The cheese and grilled onions were on point. The fries are shoestring and they tasted great. No complaints about anything. Will definitely be back. read more
