We did have to wait a little to order for a table to free up, but that's only because we wanted to sit inside. The workers are super friendly and there are so many menu options. I did expect some more drink options/specialized drinks, but it seems like they focus more on food and desserts. Portions are pretty big and I love love love the complimentary bread and olive oil. Definitely a big fan of the focaccia. I also really liked the brushetta, it was probably my favorite of everything we ordered.

Let's get the legal disclaimer out of the way... as an official "yankee", I'm required to say:…read moreNothing will ever truly replace a New York lox bagel. 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.

You can order at the register or they have a tablet ordering system that's credit card only. I ordered at the register and got their turkey pesto melt on sourdough bread. It comes hot and with cheese. The sandwich was amazing! There was so much flavor packed into it - the pesto was amazing. It was also a great size. I can wait to go back and try some of their other items. They seem to also sell an array of beverages, tons of bread of course, and they have a section of day old bread at a discounted rate. Definitely a must try!

I was lucky and was able to park out front while others were parking across the street. The menu is displayed in front of you on a lighted screen. Chose the half sandwich meal with chips and a side of soup. Side salad was an up charge for a one visit stop at the salad bar. I think it was like $4 or $5 more for the salad. I didn't want a $20 lunch visit. Drink was extra also. Got the New York Yankee, Basically a Rueben sandwich. Really think with meat, plenty of chips and the soup was hot and fresh with a sugar cane sweet tea. Overall my visit was okay. I enjoy the Larry's sub much better. But will definitely try something else. The salad bar looked good. And they have complimentary soft serve ice cream. Vanilla, chocolate or swirl are your options.

Love the sandwiches and love the soups - especially because they come out steaming hot. And love the prices! I got a sandwich, soup, a pickle, and a cookie all for $10. Only complaint is that they should put what kinds of bread they have on the menu or something because I definitely would have gotten the croissant bread if I had known they had it at the time. And I wouldn't add mayo to my sandwich next time. They are kind of heavy handed and it just makes the sandwich more wet.

I believe this location may be cursed. pollo Tropical had a great product at greta pricing, but they couldn't manage staff well. This building is a redesigned Pollo Tropical. The decor is trendy and utilitarian and the space was clean. Employees were friendly and professional. Our food was ready on time and was hot. the French fries were crispy and very heavily seasoned. The real travesty here is the chicken. Form the very first bite I had a mouth of dry spices, with the gritty texture to go alone with it. The taste of cumin is so overwhelming that it is making me gag and I use cumin regularly in cooking. I don't get it. Quite literally the worst chicken I have ever had. Like eating chicken that someone dropped in the garden and just shook off. Truly awful. Sorry, Dave's, but what we got was a joke right? I just wanted to add that I did try to reach out to Dave's. If you call the restaurant, it won't let you talk to anyone there and instead you get a message that recommends sending a message through their website. So that's what I did. Days later, and I still have no response from the incompetent leadership at Dave's Hot Chicken. I would very much like to speak to someone that is either an area or corporate leader. How do I reach them since I'm having to file a Better Business Bureau complaint and a chargeback with my credit card just from this experience where apparently you don't give a damn about your customers. Congratulations on the cursed location. Out of all the bad experiences we had at Pollo Tropical, none were this bad and clearly this location is operating without any training or leadership.

My husband and I went to a special 6 Course meal event hosted by Fast Eddy's and Jacksonville…read moreRestaurant Reviews and we had such a great time exploring some of Fast Eddy's food. We started with Hummus and Tata Chips, which was crispy pita chips with a standard (but delicious) hummus. The Tata chips had great flavor, like Stacy's Pita Chips but better! The firat course was White Bean Fahsulia, which was a rich and hearty bean stew that packed huge flavor! Second course was Falafel with Tahini Sauce. These were a nice little bite between dishes. The center of the falafel was light, fluffy, and flavorful! Course 3 was Masaka-Ah served with Timan Asfur Rice. While this dish was good, it was my least favorite of the evening. I ate half of the stew and passed the rest off to my husband, who loved it! Course 4 brought us Dolma's served with Roasted Vegetables. I LOVE stuffed grape leaves and these were seriously on point! Tart and tangy up front followed by a whole lot of savory. Course 5, my favorite, was the Spicy Curry Chicken served with White Rice. This was the dish that made me fall in love with Fast Eddy's food and had me coming back for more. I took a couple bites and got a to-go container to enjoy this later at home. Finally, we reached the end of our dinner and Course 6, dessert, came out. Freshly made, sweet and decadent, traditional baklava. Filo dough, crushed walnuts, butter, and honey. This just melted away once it hit my mouth. I don't eat a whole lot of sweets but this had me closing my eyes and enjoying every bite. Every time I've visited Fast Eddy's the staff has been amazing, friendly, and hospitable. And of course, the place being completely decked out with rock and metal music memorabilia, i feel right at home here. Oh, and there's never a time where I leave that place without an order of the Pasta Anatoli to-go!

We ordered a 12" Italian on white bread, grilled without tomato and split it. The bread was fresh and soft. I really liked the grilled Italian meats, Italian dressing, mayo combo.

I remember when this place opened I got a number of coupons for it and kept meaning to go, but…read morenever made it. Actually, I think the one time I went when I was already in the area, they told me the coupon I had had to be used at dinner time. So, I ended up leaving. I finally tried this place over a year after it opened and I didn't find it to be anything too special. I like the fact that they had a number of chicken subs and I was torn between the chicken teriyaki and the steak bomb. I ended up deciding I wanted to try sort of a Philly cheesesteak and so I got the steak bomb without mayo. We also got a half tuna sub and a kids turkey sub combo. I was very disappointed by the cheesesteak. I'm not exactly sure what "bomb" means, but I was expecting it to sort of be bursting with flavor. It really had no flavor, despite visibly having onions, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. There was oddly a strip of bacon sitting on top (not chopped into the meat) , which was really the only component that added any seasoning as it was a little salty. I ended up having to put both ketchup and barbecue sauce on it at home to give it some seasoning. The tuna sub fared better, although it was a bit liquidy so the bread was soggy. The kids turkey sub combo was just that, turkey and white bread. The portion was very good though for a kids meal as it appeared to be an entire 6-inch sub and a small order of fries with a drink. that was definitely a good deal. If you haven't been, note that they only offer white bread, no bread, or sandwich toppings put on a salad All in all, this probably wouldn't be a place I would return to unless I wanted to try the chicken teriyaki sub. But I will say that the worker who packaged my order was very friendly and the restaurant was clean. I was a little concerned about the fate of this place as nobody was in there eating, but hopefully they are doing well.

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
