    Everyone was so nice and helpful. The turkey spinach wrap was delicious. The only thing that turned me off was there wasn't a designated area for pick up orders waiting. I felt like I was towering over people as they eat or was constantly in the way. Everything else was great.

    Chicken Salad to go (after I ate some)
    Virginia B.

    My first time at this location and was delighted to find the same high quality of food and service as the other Tidbits locations. We were leaving town, so had to get some to go. Got a total of two pounds of the BEST chicken salad I have ever found, and I have looked in FOUR states! The combo of the yummy chicken salad and Clara's seasoning just can Not be beat! Nice clean facility, good service and fresh ingredients....some thing's never change and I am so thankful! I have been enjoying Tidbits since 1985 ( at the downtown location) and have used them Tons of times for catering. They are simply the best!!

    I've been hearing all about Tidbits and really wanted to try it. Very friendly staff and they were considerate of my allergy to onions. My son got a chicken salad sandwich with Potato salad and I got a turkey-avocado wrap, with a fruit cup. (It's an avocado-turkey sandwich but they put it in a nice spinach wrap for me.) the potato salad was a bit spicier than he expected, our son said, but still tasty. My wrap was perfect. I'll definitely go back since I know now that I can get onion-less choices. There were also specials and the menu had "bowls" among other items.

    Clara's is my favorite place to get lunch in Mandarin- and all my coworkers agree! The avocado pita is so delicious & filling and packed with the perfect medley of vegetables. I've also enjoyed their tuna pita. Clara's orders are always packaged wonderfully & easy to order for take out & delivery. Their made in house pita chips are tasty too. Family owned business- have met some of them and they are genuine lovely people. I crave their pitas all the time & order from them frequently & it's always delicious!

    Ashley and I were heading to the Mandarin area one Saturday to do some shopping. Not always going in that direction we knew we had to stop in somewhere new for lunch. Luckily for use Ashley came across Clara's Tidbits and man I'm glad she did. We walked in and were greeted as soon as we got through the door. Just barely beating the lunch rush and ordered at the counter. I was interested in 2 different sandwiches the Rueben and the New Orleans Po'Boy. The lady behind the counter insisted on the Po'Boy and I'm so glad she did. The New Orleans Po'Boy is Top-round roast beef smothered in brown gravy topped with swiss cheese, shredded cabbage, and mayo. Served on a hoagie. For my side I went with Clara's Homemade Pita Chip. Let me tell you. This Po'Boy in amazing. I'm normally not a big fan of roast beef cause it can be stringy but this roast beef is some of if not the best I have ever had. It's unbelievably tender. It seems like the roast beef is dripped in the brown gravy and it just bring out amazing flavor. I will say the hoagie roll reminds me a bit of Cuban Bread and I enjoyed it. I only warning I will give is it can be a little on the messy side. I was also lucky enough to try Ashley Rachel Sandwich which as also great. She went with Clara's Potato Salad which was unreal. Some of the best I have ever had. Don't get sand in this Potato Salad. They also told us the they sell it in very large size so when it comes to the holidays I know what we will be bringing and don't worry Clara we will make sure to to give you the credit. Lastly when I comes to fountain drink I normally just go for the water cup since I'm not big on soda. Don't do this here. Get a drink because they have an amazing Cherry Limeade. You can't get enough of it. It's just that good and so refreshing on a hot summer day. I can't wait to return to Clara's Tidbit. Can't come soon enough.

    Chicken salad sandwich on pita bread

    Bright and cheery is the best way to describe the atmosphere at Clara's Tidbits on San Jose in Mandarin. The place was clean and the staff busy. But not too busy to make sure you had what you needed. We sat inside as it was hot and humid. Nice patio area and will be good for a cooler day. It was a little chilly inside as we sat near an ac vent. I ordered the Rachel, but had it put on whole wheat bread. It came with one side - potato salad for me and a dill pickle spear. I also tried the peach tea (which is part peach and part sweet tea - of course I added some unsweet tea). Others ordered the chicken salad sandwich, shrimp salad sandwich and the chicken salad with fruit plate. A normally talkative group was somewhat quiet, as we were busy eating. All said the food was delicious. The bathroom is spacious and clean. Ample toilet paper, paper towels and soap (I have decided that the quality of these products is an important indicator of the restaurants commitment to an overall good customer experience - they passed with flying colors). As happens more often than not, I forgot to take pictures until I was halfway done with my meal. Also, check out the new menu items. We very much enjoyed our luncheon and will be back!

    Make your own sandwich - Turkey
    Matt M.

    My first trip here, although I have eaten at other Tidbits locations. The line was literally out the door, but do t worry, it moves fairly quickly. My go to is always Chicken and fruit. A healthy scoop of chicken salad, surrounded by cantaloupe, melon, grapes and more. Sides are not an option and believe me, you don't need it with the mammoth sized portion of this salad. My daughter opted for the build your own sandwich, getting exactly what she wanted on gluten free bread. She got a side of chips. Parking is easy, service is exceptional. Good is always fresh and delicious. Who knew eating healthy could be this good?

    Chicken salad in pita, broccoli cheddar soup, tea and fruit salad.
    Lynda D.

    Went for lunch today with a friend. I had the lunch special which is 1/2 sandwich with either a soup or salad, drink, and a side for 10.99. I chose 1/2 of a pita w/ chicken salad, lettuce and tomato, broccoli cheddar soup, tea and fruit salad. I was quite busy and service was quick. You order at counter and they deliver to your table. They portions for the price were and absolute bargain. Food was delicious and fresh. Menu is quite large which includes salads, variety of sandwiches that you a built with the many choices of breads, fillings and meat/cheese. Great selection of desserts, strawberry shortcake, cookies, lemon pound cake. You may also buy soup and chick salad to go in either large, medium or small containers. Enjoyed Tidbits!

    Do yourself a favor and stop in at Clara's Tidbits! Mike and I were heading to Trader Joe's for some groceries so we of course jumped on Yelp and tried to see who could find the best place to eat the fastest and per usual I won! I stumbled upon Clara's and boy am I glad I did! We walked in and were immediately greeted with a singing hello and told were to order. The very nice person at the register help Mike and I navigate the menu. I ordered the Rachel with potato salad as my side, this was all around a big winner of a meal. Every bite of the Rachel was delicious and I could eat my weight in that potato salad. In fact we were informed you can get potato salad in bulk so I think I will be doing that for holidays this year. There was both inside and outside seating as well as many people ordering to go, so basically however you try Clara's just do it!

    Fresh food made fast with a smile. I ordered a bacon avoidable turkey pita and other than the microwave bacon, it was really good.

    Jose G.

    There's no place like Home. That's what it feels like even with my 1st visit. Reviews and recommendations lured me here along with the smell of the food once I opened the front door. There was no turning back. Warm & welcoming staff. Deliciously fresh homemade style food. Great location and plenty of parking. Hopefully see y'all here soon!

    Everyday special- 1/2 sandwich, side,  soup and drink for $8.50ish..so freaking good too!

    See all

    I met a granddaughter here for a lunch while she was out on spring break and we enjoyed our lunch!…read more It was my first time there and the decor was fun--decorated for St, Patrick's Day. Our server was Chloe and she was most attentive. My granddaughter ordered a Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla and I had a Drunken Wet Burrito (with alterations because of my onion allergy). Both were delicious. We split a serving of mud pie for dessert--excellent! I'll bring other family there to dine, for sure!

    I'm not really sure how to rate this place . Sometimes I go and it's amazing food, other times it's…read moremeh. It's a typical sports bar type of a vibe and I believe they do drink specials while games are on and if a certain team scores, etc. The people are always friendly and nice. We sit at the bar area and we're usually greeted right away. One of our favorite things on the menu was the blackened mahi wrap they removed that on their new menu, but we went in there and we were able to get it ordered because they still have whitefish it might've been grouper, but I didn't care. I find that there is inconsistencies with the kitchen. Sometimes we would get the wrap and it would be perfect other times there was hardly any fish and it was mostly lettuce and others it was lacking the other things such as the salsa and the cheese, etc. They have a great taco happy hour. Everything is 4 to 6 dollars from 4 to 6 PM , and this is again sometimes they're amazing and sometimes they're just so so. Overall, for the pricing and the atmosphere and the location, especially for us is a good go to for us. I just wish they were more consistent with the kitchen. All of their well drinks on happy hour is five dollars so that's a good deal right there. Also, they have side orders of things like onion rings and french fries if you don't wanna do a whole basket of it, which is super helpful if you wanna grab a few tacos and just want a little bit of onion rings

    Parlor is my favorite local doughnut shop, with multiple locations in the Jax metro…read more They offer doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, coffees and their recently launched savory doughnuts. They also offer doggy doughnuts for your fur friends. Their doughnuts are excellent, but taste is more like fried dough from the carnival. I love them but some people may prefer more cake-like doughnuts (dunkin style). The new savory doughnuts are also pretty tasty - I tried the Hawaiian BBQ chicken recently. I don't love ordering coffee drinks at Parlor. Often if you get something with Espresso, it get's stuck in a long queue because they only have one barista and espresso machine. Their drinks are also just average - nothing special. Most of the staff at Parlor are young and still learning, but friendly enough. If you dine in at the Fruit Cove location, be aware that seating can be limited inside. They do have additional seats outside when weather is nice.

    I somehow missed reviewing this place so let's set that right! I grew up with Ma and Pop donut…read moreshops being the norm, so really don't love the big chain places that don't even bake them locally anymore. We've been going to Parlor occasionally since they opened and they have a good product. It's not traditional like the maple bars or apple fritters I grew up eating, but they are fresh, and when cooked the right way are really pleasing - kind of light (relatively speaking, I mean, it IS a donut). Minus one star because sometimes they aren't cooked as well and can be a bit doughy in the middle. Those days I eat the edges which are still good. The minis are a great way to avoid this, also - and I especially like the coconut ones. Boston cream, maple, cinnamon churro, all the flavors are great and I love the less common ones too - haven't tried many but lavender honey is so good. Great coffee and service, too - check this place out!
