One day I'll try others there too but for now I'm looking forward to another steak in a sack in the very near future.

Eureka (I have found it)! Hollywood in Florida!!!!…read more JUST like Dr. Indiana Jones combing through the jungles seeking his ancient museum artifacts, I was navigating the curvy wilds of the Jacksonville Southpoint area, located near I-95 and JTB. The best things in life require some effort to build your appetite, and whereas I did not collect a golden idol like Dr. Jones, I was rewarded instead with a cheerful new friend and one of the absolute FRESHEST sandwiches in JAX! Nestled between the sparse woods and surrounding offices you will find happy, loyal diners who fill Hollywood Heroes and Subs each lunchtime to the point where the line stretches out the door. I had just seen the last of the lunch crowd smiling and saying goodbye for the day to our energetic and upbeat host, Founder, sandwich artist and Jacksonville native Kevin Porter, an actor turned restaurateur -- known for roles including "Lazer" in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, plus appearances in Daredevil and General Hospital. Something that cannot be "acted" around was his genuine welcome and desire to roll out the red Hollywood carpet for all who make the journey (yes, it's a REAL red carpet)!! This sweet shop is the perfect size, and has a significant amount of Hollywood memorabilia all around to keep you engaged while chatting with Kevin as he works his magic. And what he produced was a treasure of cheese and meats that made me forget about whatever might have been chasing me through those woods to get there! J/K In between wonderful conversation with Kevin, each bite of my MASSIVE "The Towering Inferno" hot hero (pepperoni, Genoa salami, cappy and melted provolone) on fresh baked Village Bread made me realize just how huge and delicious this thing was. Kevin promised that the one pictured is exactly what every customer will get...he prides himself on highly generous portions at fair prices...and man, did he deliver!! I would have been completely satisfied with HALF, but NO!!!! There sat its twin, begging for sacrifice to the stomach Gods. I was only too happy to oblige! The owner Kevin = engaging, friendly, talented with his craft, makes you feel like you drove through the woods to come home to your happy place. The ambiance = bright, colorful, great memorabilia, puts you as the star of the show. The sandwiches = creative in name and product with fresh being the operative word, this sandwich hit above its price point and I can't wait to try to the rest of the menu! So no, I didn't get chased by a boulder, or leave with Dr. Jones' golden idol, but I did get a Golden Belly from my experience, and the knowledge of why hundreds of hungry lunch- goers seek this "Temple of Delish" every day!! Crack the whip and corral your family into the car for this absolute treat in the core of "ancient Jacksonville!!"

Views of the fairway and outdoor seating available. There's a gorgeous full bar with TVs and plenty of seating. The service is outstanding here! Our server, Heather, was amazing and made my birthday experience so special. Great friendly and upbeat personality with tons of food suggestions. If you're lucky to have her wait on you, I'm sure you'll become a regular. Just great energy. Food came out fresh and fast. Thanks to Shannon, too. They kept our food and drinks coming. And we all had a wonderful first time! Everything on their menu looks great. My grilled shrimp tacos were yummy. Definitely get the fried mushrooms if you enjoy them. They do them perfectly here. I got a bite of my brother's meatloaf, mashed potatoes and broccoli and also my sister's smothered fried chicken breast. Both entrees were flavorful, seasoned right and cooked perfectly! And my BIL's Buffalo Chicken Wings were excellent. Definitely a great place to share food and experience others' dishes. Save room for the desserts! Made in-house and the selections are great. We shared the warm chocolate chip cookie skillet with ice-cream and whipped cream and the chocolate cake. So good! Look forward to going again for a piece of their Key Lime pie. We left full and really happy. Prices are extremely reasonable and they do have Happy Hour specials. Can't believe I've never been to this neighborhood gem before!? Highly recommend!

Next thing I pull out strips of plastic. After I pulled out four pieces of plastic, I told him no I need a new sandwich.

Told them they cannot feed people plastic. This is not acceptable, and walked out!!! 2 sandwiches both full of plastic !!

We discovered this place quite by accident, getting lost in the parking lot. Frustrated and hungry,…read moreI decided I was in the mood for Cuban food. This place has apparently only been open for a week when we sat down, so there is probably a few 'new place' exceptions/errors that should improve over time. To be completely honest, I know next to nothing about Cuban food, having experienced maybe 2-3 Cubano sandwiches in my entire life in different parts of the world. My buddy and i decided to tread lightly and get some initial impressions of the appetizers. He ordred the Tostones, while I got the 'Cuban Cigars'. The tostones were a solid 7/10, and came as 3 pretty pieces. The "Cuban Cigars" were described as 'Cuban sandwich-flavored crispy shells', and came served in a Cohiba ashtray (top marks for presentation). They tasted ok, probably a 6.5/10, and the best way I can describe it is they tasted like Hispanic flavored Chinese eggrolls. We also ordered the Pina colada frozen drinks, which were a bit too sweet for my taste buds. In all fairness, I can't give a confident review of the entire place based on these 3 orders, and will likely come back for some of the steak entrees. They have a live music on weekends, so if you're not fully sleep on a Sunday evening, I suggest popping in here for a snack and a nightcap, listen to some oldies, before heading home.

A new Cuban gem in Fleming Island! Tried Habana Mariel Cuban Restaurant (Mindy's Cuban Kitchen for…read moreshort) after seeing a movie at the AMC theaters in Fleming Island. What a delight! The food and atmosphere were outstanding. Their menu is filled with a wide selection of Cuban favorites making it difficult to choose. My wife had the stuffed Mahi Mahi that was a large fish portion, breaded, perfectly fried and stuffed with ham and cheese. She had wonderfully spiced black beans and sweet plantains to round out the meal. I had one of their specialties, Rice with Shrimp. It was a huge mound of delightful and perfectly spiced Sazon rice stuffed with approximately a dozen or so small shrimp that was to die for and came with 4 large sweet plantains. Both dishes were large enough that we had leftovers for lunch the next day. The restaurant is nicely decorated in Cuban chic and there is authentic Cuban/latin music playing in the background to help give the restaurant a Cuban vibe. We didn't have room for dessert so we'll have to try that the next time we visit. The only thing keeping me from giving a 5 star review was the fact that the restaurant only had one server and though she was very nice, helpful in making selections and tried to be prompt, as the restaurant filled up, it was difficult to handle all the duties effectively. However, this should not deter anyone from going to Habana Mariels for lunch or dinner as I'm sure that the owners (who also own Palermo's in Orange Park--see my reviews for that wonderful Puerto Rican restaurant--will rectify this situation soon. Please give "Mindy's" the short name for Habana Mariels a try. You won't regret it.

Here I go again. And loving every minute…read more The breading on that chicken sandwich wasn't just light--it was practically glittering. Seasoned so flawlessly I'm convinced a culinary fairy godmother tapped it with her wand. And that salmon sandwich? BABY. It didn't surprise me-- it snatched my wig, slid on my heels, and strutted across the table like it owned the establishment. I wasn't ready. I wasn't worthy. That portion was enormous, that cut was elegant, and I nearly applauded when it arrived. Service? Oh, darling. Legendary. I'm almost certain his name was Josh. The man glided over like he had cues, marks, and a script. Attentive without hovering, charming without trying, helpful without hustling. A hospitality KING. Give that man a crown and a raise. I've eaten my way through this sandwich menu like it was my personal world tour--and guess what? I'm starting back at the top for the encore. The fries? ICONIC. Crisp, golden, irresistible. If you order the chicken sandwich, do yourself a spiritual favor: put that ketchup down like it just insulted your mother, and grab a small cup of that sauce on your chicken for dipping. Your taste buds will ascend and you'll thank me later. Now... the Paloma. My God. That drink sashayed onto the scene sparkling with grapefruit glamour and citrus attitude. It wasn't just flavorful--it was flavorful with FEELINGS. Bright, bold, bodacious. Smooth enough to lull you into diva-level bliss, strong enough to make you saddle up and say, "Another round--because I'm not done being dramatic."
