We had dinner at ClarkeBros over in Riverside this evening. They're at 2545 Riverside Avenue, right…read moreacross from St Vincent with parking available at the side of their entrance. This is one of those places that we love but haven't been to in far too long. We both tried things that were new to each of us tonight as well, which was cool. I ordered The Ole Smokie, with everything on it and choose cheddar cheese. My first thought when it was brought to the table was "oh, I'll probably have to go at this with a fork & knife" but I decided to give it a shot as intended. I'm glad I did because the bread held up surprisingly well! As far as ingredients go, the brisket was good and smokey. There was a good mix of everything else and more than enough cheddar. My wife ordered the Chicken Cheesesteak. She also had a choice of cheese and she picked whizz. The thing that separates this from what people might expect is that it's chunks of chicken, not shredded chicken. She said that's not a bad thing at all, just a change from what some might exoect. She thought it was a welcome change. She liked their cheese whizz a lot and liked the roll as always, so she was glad she tried it. It's worth noting that both sandwiches were big enough that we both took half of each home. I didn't get the name of the two people that were working there this evening, but I'd still like to give then a shout out. They were both incredibly patient with the customers ahead of us and they didn't make us feel rushed even though we were there fairly close to the time they close on Friday evenings. Another good visit to Clarke Bros. Here's hoping it doesn't take us so long to get back here again for the next visit!

Rode up here this afternoon after the lunch rush. Not many folks inside, open seating, easy to take…read morea look at the menu and the specials without feeling rushed. Ordered at the front counter and was greeted by a friendly young lady... good start. I went in planning to get the muffaleta off the specials board. They checked on it, but no luck... they were out of the cuts needed. I was pointed toward the Italian, but my buddy already grabbed that and I felt like being different. Noticed another special on the wall, a smoked brisket sandwich. Can't remember the exact name, but that's what I went with. Instead of chips or their homemade tots, I grabbed the balsamic roasted brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Tables weren't the cleanest and were a little wobbly, but nothing deal-breaking... we made it work. Food came out pretty quick and looked solid. Flavor-wise... a little mixed. The brussel sprouts were very flaky and leafy, almost crumbled apart. You really had to work your fork to get a bite. I was picturing larger roasted halves. Sauce was fine, nothing bad, nothing special. I'd give those a 3 out of 5. The brisket sandwich was interesting. The meat was very fatty and kind of tough to chew through. Not sure if that's just the cut or the prep. I ate about three-quarters of it. It wasn't bad, just didn't hit the way I hoped. Probably still thinking about that muffaleta. Another 3 out of 5. I'd come back, no doubt... but next time I'm sticking with what they're known for. Those cheesesteaks always look great, and that's probably the move. Today was about trying something different, and I'm glad I did... even if it didn't knock my socks off.

Just checked out @BlueBoySandwichShop and I'm already planning my next visit!…read more I ordered the #8 Steak Sub with fries, and wow--the portion alone is enough to feed 2-3 people. What really sets them apart is that they make their own bread in-house, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect foundation for an incredible sandwich. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell there's so much love and care poured into every item they serve. Between the generous portions, homemade bread, and genuine hospitality, it's easy to see why people keep coming back. If this was my first sandwich, I can only imagine how good the rest of the menu is. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Even better, it's part of the Blue Zones Project, so you're getting food that's not just delicious, but aligned a business that understands healthy living. Now let's talk about the sandwiches...We got the chicken philly and steak sandwich-both were EXCELLENT! Packed with flavor and generously made--you'll likely be saving half for later (if you can resist finishing it). And don't skip the smoothies--they're the perfect balance of healthy and tasty, and honestly, one of the best ways to round out your meal. This place isn't just a sandwich shop--it's a Jacksonville gem. Trust me, you won't regret it.

This is a nice chew, without any fatty or gummy parts. Bread is soft, but can hold up against the weight of the steak. Filled with meat and cheese, I never feel skimped. Regular is huge! Due to an allergy, I cannot have the peppers and I've never mistakenly gotten them in my order despite making this customization. Every customization has come out exactly as ordered.

I love Jersey Mikes and just on taste alone will always be a loyal customer…read more This location is new but it needs help. I don't think I've come in once where they haven't been super short staffed and most of the team seems newer and confused. They do always handle the crowd and the pace with friendliness but you can tell the employees are sometimes tense with one another and it doesn't seem like they're set up for success. The restaurant is always clean, and I do feel like they have good people working here, I'm just hoping they can get their staffing issues and training figured our so this Jersey Mikes can be here for a long time!

Always great every time I come live this place for years it's a must try every time I'm in the arearead more

My late great grandmother loved Nesbit. She used to order the Shrimp dinner all the time when I was…read morea kid. Now that I am an Adult, I felt it was time for me to try Nesbit myself. I ordered the Seafood Platter. It took only a few minutes since it was raining. The food was good. I tried ever without sauce first. Seafood potato salad was really good. That didn't last long. The crab cake was deep fried and nice a brown. Before I knew it, it was gone. The larger shrimp and fish were good. Food over is 5 stars. But then comes the customer service. I used the drive-thru with you give your order to come under the patio cover. Cash only does make it hard for people to pay who aren't familiar with Nesbit. Once I received the change back, it was almost like it was throw at me. The server did apologize so I didn't take offense to it. Wish they asked you if you needed something else like Ketchup, Hot Sauce or Mustard. I shouldn't have to stop at Popeyes to pick up sauces for the food on the go.

A Philly cheesesteak, fries, drink, and boiled peanuts were included with the tour. The cheesesteaks have a little extra in the mayo. The crinkle fries had seasoning salt which is always a win. You cannot find canned peach sodas everywhere, but they have them! I tried the Cajun boiled peanuts which were tasty. I did not like boiled peanuts when I tried them years ago. The food was prepared in a timely manner, and both gentlemen working were friendly. There really isn't anywhere to sot to eat, but this would be a nice addition. There is a mural on the outside of the store which was painted by FSCJ students. I'm going to stop by for breakfast the next time as this is my favorite meal, and hopefully the grit bowls are what I imagine them to be!
