The drink selection is decent and they always have some cold beers on ice when you walk in. There's a decent selection of coffee and cold drinks, a number of energy drinks. The food area is OK, order yourself on the screen and then they make it so they basically eliminate any human contact. Every time I order food from there, it is very tiny and it doesn't look like the pictures. They always forget something or leave something out. I'll stop there if I'm desperate, but they need to get a grip on their employees and think if they would want to receive that if they want to go order food somewhere.

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!

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.

This iconic spot has been a staple in the community since 1962--and you can feel that legacy the moment you walk in. 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.

I don't remember the guy's name in the back but he was super as he thanked us for waiting and asked how everything was. The food is worth the wait. If you're in a hurry this is probably not the place for you. It took a while but we didn't mind, we were not in a hurry and we could smell the goodness being made. It's an older place but has character. Old various photos, plenty of room for seating. It seemed like more people were taking their food to go. We sat and enjoyed our meal. We also took home the other half of our sandwiches since they were so big. If you're in the area and have never been to Blue Boy, you need to check them out. You can thank me later.

We were a family of six traveling through, stopped for our usual firehouse favorites (we live in NE Florida). We waited over an HOUR for our food. Staff were on their phones, no system in place.

My options were to wait for food or wait for refund while our order hadn't even been started. I left with four starving children and no refund, in an unpacked firehouse at 2 pm. Go ANYWHERE else.
