We fortunately tried The French Pantry recently and came away knowing we had found one of THE…read morepremier sandwich shops/bakeries in the Jacksonville area. We arrived early and found that very quickly there was a line that was extending out the door. That was for good reason. This place is excellent. Great staff, impeccable food, fantastic service. Inside is clean, neat with hearty tables. The front features their baked goods as well. All fresh, all look delicious. I tried the Tiramisu for dessert. No pictures. It was that good that it made me forget. We dined in, and to do so, you order at the front, are seated and are served shortly after. When you order, keep in mind that they bring bread to the table. Two types of bread with a delicious mix of oil and balsamic that is ideal for dipping. Shortly after we received our food. We split the sandwiches between us and one order of truffle fries. The muffuletta was so meaty and flavorful. The bread fresh and the perfect accompaniment. The eggplant likewise was so delicious. I was expecting more of historical panini type bread but this bread was perfect and grilled. The truffle fries...crispy, bursting with flavor. Really generous portions here of next level sandwiches. If you're in the mood for a great sandwich or a huge salad, this is THE place for you. I highly encourage you to check them out. You'll be glad you did.

Met a business partner here for lunch and it was packed! I had heard about this spot from a few…read morepeople and was excited to try it. We waited in line to order and I got the chicken salad sandwich and we shared some truffle fries. After ordering we sat down and waited for the food. They brought out some complementary bread with olive oil and vinegar to your table, which was really good. The sandwich was tasty as well and it was a good lunch spot to meet up at!

Newk's Eatery is one of my favorite places when I want a meal that's fresh, nutritious, and…read morereasonably priced. It's hard to beat the value--you can enjoy a quality meal for around $11 per person, which is rare these days. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. It's nice to have a fast-casual restaurant where you can eat something that tastes great without feeling like you're sacrificing nutrition. The restaurant itself is always clean, including the dining area and restrooms, which says a lot about how they operate. Friendly service, great food, fair prices, and a spotless environment make this an easy five-star recommendation. I'll definitely keep coming back.

We settled on into experience Newks all over again. The restaurant opened at 11 am on Saturdays. I had the Ceasars salad with the salmon. Wifey had a soup and a half of the po boy sandwich when she could have had a whole sandwich. Both of us did not like the lobster bisque. My first choice was the new cheddar and cheese soup but I would have had to wait. The manager came over and asked how we liked everything. Customer service was at its finest. We were treated to the cheddar broccoli soup since we did not like the lobster bisque. Free refills with the decorative cups to take home as a plus! Money well spent and continue to reminisce about the first time we came to Newks over 10 years ago. Newks has changed but we enjoyed it.

I call in my order sometimes and I'd say the wait is around 15-30 minutes for fresh food so I'm never mad about it. They're always nice, but not overly friendly (I mean that in the best way) - not the "overly fake customer service I'm going to get fired if I don't show all my teeth nice". I think I usually spend around $23-30 for 2 people when I go so burgers, fries, drinks, and a little tip for the jar. This is a place I suggest if you're on the East side of the river and want a solid meal.

Was excited to try the Luck of the Irish pop-up appetizers with friends, but we left disappointed…read more The St. Paddy's Day decor was nice, however the floors, tablecloth, chairs, and even the seat cushions were extremely sticky. Staff mentioned it was from drinks spilled by other guests, which really showed a lack of proper cleaning. We ordered all six appetizers but only received five, as the Guinness pub cheese never came out. The Reuben eggrolls were a 4/5 and the giant pretzel for two was a 5/5, but the other three appetizers were about a 1/5. The specialty drinks were also underwhelming. Angela's drink was mostly ice with very little flavor, especially disappointing for $15. My Irish cream drink needed ice added several times. I'm also unsure why a 13% gratuity was automatically added when there were only four of us with three separate checks. For two appetizers and two drinks, my bill came to $63 with tip. Very overly priced. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating, but she mentioned she was also the bartender, waitress and host, so it seemed like they were understaffed. Unfortunately, between the cleanliness issues, missing item, and underwhelming food and drinks, I'm not sure I'd come back.

Charlie was the lead bartender and our server, he is absolutely fantastic!! Such a people person with such a kind demeanor! So glad we had him! We started with the potato skins, which were delish! I chose the chicken quesadilla and my friend chose the chicken tenders with fries. Speaking as someone who LOVES a quesadilla...this one was perfect!! Put together well and did not fall apart one bit, very flavorful, and the tortilla was cooked correctly and was a perfect golden color, zero burn marks!! My friend loved her tenders as well, the crinkle fries were great too! Definitely will return to try more items!! The decor at this time for the Sippin Santa is the perfect ambiance for some fun & a night out! We had a great time, keep it up Laura- you've got a very special thing going here!!!

Broadway Deli is hands down my FAVORITE deli in Jacksonville!…read more They literally have everything... hot meals, fresh salads, classic deli sandwiches, and the freshest bread every single time. You can taste the quality in every bite. The bread is always soft and perfectly baked, never stale or dry. And let's talk about the chicken salad... I could eat it every day. It's flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and always fresh. What really keeps me coming back is the consistency. Every visit is the same high quality, generous portions, and quick, friendly service. It feels like one of those hidden gems that locals know is elite. If you're in Jacksonville and want fresh, reliable, DELICIOUS deli food...Broadway Deli is it. 10/10 recommend every single time.

This was the first place that popped up for me. I am Diabetic 2, and I was feeling hungry and a little bit weak. I actually saw this place as I passed by on my way to my first appointment! I walked in and inquired if they had pita bread. The lady that waited on me was very nice. Yes, they did have pita breakfast sandwiches. She asked if I wanted butter or mayonnaise and I told her yes. I also had a cup of water. I had my coffee at home this morning. I see they have great prices and daily specials! I love that. They also have soups and salads. One review said they have great potato salad. I might get one, "to-go". I also noticed that they have regulars here, an elderly gentleman and also doctors and other medical professionals from the close by hospitals and doctor offices. I also noticed a police officer come in. I wished I lived closer. But, I will come by when I am in the area. It's always nice to find and discover new places. Pros:great prices, people and fast service with a smile! Cons:no salt on tables Recommend? Of course!!!
