She was happy to make suggestions and tweak the menu to suit our tastes! I started with a cup of chicken soup with vegetables , rice and homemade croutons. The little cup was packed with vegetables( carrots, potatoes, broccoli)and chicken and just the right amount of rice. The broth was delicious and the ingredients all fresh. The Boars head buffalo chicken with pepper jack panini was also delicious. I opted for a side of ranch for dipping since I'm not big on spicy! My husband's Roast beef with horseradish, onion , tomato and a mayo based sauce panini was also delicious. Fun place to grab a delicious homemade meal and reasonably priced.

My son and I have been trying restaurants in this area and this was next on our list. Store was very clean, as I said before service was outstanding. Here's a list of the food we tried: Drink stand - not many selections, but they do have Coke products. Sweet tea - they have not perfected the taste of Southern sweet tea, but it was fine French fries - crisp crunchy exterior soft, interior, really well done. . Egg salad sandwich - it was just an egg salad sandwich, no better no worse than others, just fine . European Gyro - this was a normally euro stuff with french fries, it was a cool look in the dish was good. Overall, I wanted to love this place, and it was fine. But that's all it was was fine, they played it safe, they didn't try to spice up their menu or give you a number of unique specials. They just serve decent food at what I thought was a high price. For instance, my egg salad sandwich, and I'm an egg salad, lover, Fair but it was $13 without many side drink or chips. Most places, including Tidbits, which is one of their competitors, is less than $5. But I have to say they five other restaurants in this strip center, including the powerhouse Mexican food at El Castillo, Donato's Pizza, Mad o' Seafood, a Latino restaurant and Açaí Bowls. So if you're going to compete with these other restaurants, I think you need to go above and beyond. Maybe highlight Middle Eastern dishes, maybe makes egg salad with some curry powder, and don't charge so much for just plain sandwiches. I don't have any qualms about going back, but I also don't have anything to draw me back. That special dish or that special thing. And that seem to be the theme with the other people that came in. This was a first time visit for a lot of people , and a regular crowd just wasn't there. Maybe that is telling.

But Jax Bread is probably the best you're going to get in Jacksonville. And it's excellent on its own merits. I ordered the lox bagel and it hit all the right notes: a perfectly chewy bagel, super fresh toppings, and the ideal cream cheese-to-bagel ratio (which matters more than people realize). Everything tasted fresh and was thoughtfully put together (more proper ratios). The service is always lovely, and I've genuinely never had anything here that wasn't delicious. This visit, I also grabbed the day-old mystery 3-pack of bagels so I could carb out a few more times this week. They're just as tasty, freeze beautifully, and at $2.99 it's an unbeatable deal. I'm already eyeing Jax Bread for some Christmas goodies this year because there are so many great things to choose from. If you haven't been yet, fix that.

This is my third time ordering online, and it's becoming clear there's little care put into what's being sent out. Both items I received were inedible.

I would say that the pastries are not my favorite in all of JAX but they are consistently good and high quality. The scones aren't as crumbly and dry as I typically like and the cinnamon roll was a bit drier than I'd expect. However the cream cheese topping and ratio of icing to roll was perfect. The thing that makes them standout is that their staff is wonderful. They greet you upon entering and helpful to answer questions. I LOVE that they always have a sample of one of their breads. It sets them apart. I've changed my mind several times to try whatever they were sampling. The shop has some decent seating inside and some limited seating outside. The shop is always clean and I like the display window where you can see all of their delicious items. They are conveniently located off of the 295 freeway

I ordered the short rib, and it was outstanding--perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and served over a rich parmesan risotto that struck the right balance of creamy and savory. The red wine demi-glace brought everything together with a deep, refined flavor that you'd expect from a much more upscale spot. The crispy pork belly, though, completely stole the show. Easily the best I've ever had--perfectly crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. I travel frequently and dine out often, so it takes a lot to impress me--but this place did exactly that. The atmosphere was relaxed and authentic, and despite the "hole-in-the-wall" feel, every dish was executed at a high level. I was there with coworkers, and every single one of us walked away impressed. This is the kind of spot you almost want to keep to yourself--but it's too good not to share.
