It definitely lived up to our expectations! The beef was juicy, the portions were huge, and the bread was soft! It was delicious! We also tried the DDD aka Derita Deli Deluxe which is one of their Chicken Cutlet Sandwiches. It includes eggplant, prosciutto de Parma, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, broccoli rabe, long hot peppers, and balsamic glaze. Phew! Tons of ingredients, I liked it but it lacks seasoning, mainly salt, lol. Overall, we enjoyed both sandwiches and we can't wait to go back and try the other items on their menu.

I just happened to be in the area, decided to stop in, and I'm so glad I did. My order was ready exactly when promised, and from the first bite, it exceeded every expectation. The combination of the crispy chicken cutlet, perfectly cooked eggplant, fresh mozzarella, and broccoli rabe came together in the ultimate flavor combination. Every bite was packed with incredible taste, and all the ingredients worked together perfectly. If you're looking for an authentic, unforgettable sandwich, this is it. I'll definitely be making the drive back for another one.

We both ordered the small French dip. We waited awhile for our food, as the eatery was definitely under staffed. A pervasive problem everywhere on the East Coast. Talk about major disappointment upon receiving our food. The bun was not only un toasted, it was COLD and HARD. There was nothing right about this sub. Too much bread, dry meat, and the ratio of ingredients was completely off balance. The saving grace was the aus jus, and even that was nothing special, But at least it provided the moisture needed to get the bread down. Wow, major disappointment.

C'est magnifique, mes amis! And then came the quiche... Ohhh, the quiche! Rich, delicate, savory, and absolutely divine. The kind of food that makes you close your eyes for a moment and whisper, "Mon Dieu... where have you been all my life?" The French Pantry isn't simply a café--it is a little escape to France without needing a passport. The flavors, the atmosphere, the pastries... everything made me feel as though I had discovered a charming hidden café somewhere along the streets of Paris. Bravo, The French Pantry! You stole my heart, conquered my appetite, and made me fall hopelessly in love with the croissant. Très magnifique! I will absolutely be back!

A local treasure that deserved to come back…read more Whenever I'm traveling, I try to avoid the obvious tourist spots and look for where the locals actually eat. Those are usually the meals I remember long after the vacation is over. The challenge is that sometimes you find one of those places and quickly realize you're not part of the club. The Wheel is the exact opposite! Every single time we've visited, we're greeted with a warm, genuine "Welcome in!" followed by "You can sit anywhere." It seems like such a small thing, but it immediately makes you feel like you're supposed to be there. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, everyone receives the same warm welcome. My husband and I live about 30 minutes south of St. Augustine, and anytime we're in town around lunchtime, The Wheel is one of our favorite stops. We've been back multiple times since they reopened, and the consistency has been every bit as impressive as the food. For those of us who grew up here, though, this place is something even more special. Longtime locals probably remember The Cheese Wheel. Back in high school, once you finally got your driver's license and escaped the school bus, this was one of the lunch spots. Their chicken salad had a loyal following, and if you got there too late, there was a good chance they had already sold out. When The Cheese Wheel eventually closed, it felt like a little piece of St. Augustine disappeared. Thankfully, members of the original Cheese Wheel family brought those recipes back as The Wheel, carrying on the traditions and recipes they learned from the original owners. It may not be the same building, but one bite instantly took me back. Our first visit after they reopened was in February 2025. The line stretched outside the door, and it was obvious St. Augustine had been waiting for this day. You could tell they were busy, but you couldn't tell they were overwhelmed. One employee stayed at the entrance the entire time, greeting guests, explaining the process, keeping an eye on open tables, and directing people as seats became available. They handled the rush with organization, efficiency, and a smile. That first visit showed us they could handle opening-day crowds. Every visit since has shown us that's simply who they are. Our go-to order has always been the Tuna Ryder with an order of shoestring fries. This visit we weren't overly hungry, and we had dinner plans later, so we decided to split one. The kitchen divided it perfectly before bringing it to the table. Everything stayed neatly tucked inside the pita instead of falling apart, the tuna salad was dressed just right without being overloaded with mayo, and every bite had that same fresh, balanced flavor we've come to expect. They even surprised us with two full pickle spears instead of splitting one in half. It's a tiny detail, but it's exactly those little touches that leave a lasting impression. The shoestring fries arrived hot, crispy, and every bit as addictive as we remembered. The dining room is clean, casual, and comfortable. Nothing pretentious. Just good food, friendly people, and an atmosphere that invites you to slow down and enjoy lunch. After multiple visits over the past year and a half, that's what stands out most. Great food brings you in once. Consistency is what keeps you coming back. If you're spending the day at the beach, stop here first. If you're catching a movie next door, it's the perfect lunch spot beforehand. And if you're visiting St. Augustine and trying to avoid overpriced tourist restaurants serving food you could get anywhere else, put The Wheel on your list. Some restaurants simply serve lunch. Others become part of the memories you make in a town. The Wheel has managed to do both. We'll continue stopping in anytime we're in St. Augustine, and we'll keep recommending it to anyone who asks where the locals eat. If you're looking for where the locals eat, you've found it.
