Dessert choices

Don't blink as you may miss this deli which serves up some great lunch boxed sandwiches. They offer several choices of house sides to go along and some yummy desserts. They close early so plan ahead.

Counter/ordering area with lunchbox decor.

Fresh ingredients, great desserts, cute decor. The proprietor helped me avoid the foods I couldn't eat because of allergies. Nice serving sizes. It's small so maybe avoid peak lunch times. Open until 3 p.m.

Today's Special. Boom Boom Shrimp Wrap.
Tony M.

Great Localy owned Breakfast and Lunch spot. I had Today's Special which was the Boom Boom Shrimp Wrap. There was definitely some Boom to it. You got the nice Sweet 1st then the Boom. It came with a fresh side or chips. I got the Chips but the fresh sides included Coleslaw, pasta salad, and potato salad which all look good. Wife got the 1/2 Sandwich and Broccoli and Cheese Soup and both were good. We also got a Oreo Smash dessert. And well definitely pick out one of her homemade desserts for a treat.

I've heard great things about TLD for a while now, especially for their custom cakes. And while I still haven't had the chance to try that, was nearby and decided to finally pop in. It was just a bit after 10am, and I was celebrating having dropped my last one to start school off at preschool! Ah, so many freed up hours of alone time to try all the places and do all the things. Just kidding, so many hours I can now actually focus on my job. But today I took a detour and started late to celebrate (and because I was running an errand after drop off, but that sounds more lame). TLD is in a strip with a gas station, so doesn't give the idea of a great place, but get past that. The decor is cute and welcoming, and the woman working today (owner?) was friendly and moved at a quick pace. She welcomed me, asked if I knew what I wanted and then if I'd been before. She let me know that they had the pastries in the case or bagel sandwiches, and lunch would start being served at 10:30. I chose an everything bagel with ham and cheese, and it had a good amount of each on a chewy bagel. It was under $4 so priced fair. I also ordered a coffee, which they offer with a multitude of syrups, but I added cream only. It was hot and fresh. I took a few treats home, three cake pops (for kids) and a banana pudding (for me), all of which were very good and worth the splurge. Another person entered while she was helping me, and started to look at the menu, but was told that not everything there was available. She gave her the same options as me, but added in a grits casserole (that she either forgot to mention to me or I didn't hear). I wish I had known that option and definitely would have tried it. I'll be back to try lunch, and just wish breakfast had more options.

I think it's pretty safe to say that if there was ever a contest for the "chain restaurant capital of America," Orange Park, Florida (or even Jacksonville as a whole) would be an easy frontrunner. Low quality, flavorless food chains offering sub-par (or worse) service seem to be in high abundance. So when I moved here, it was complete culture shock...where i come from (Hawaii), it's the exact opposite. Chain establishments are often shunned by locals (there's only ONE Popeyes, ONE Wendy's ONE Dunkin Donuts...or used to be, I think it's gone now) in favor of the mom and pop run establishments. They just offer fresher, high quality food, and they are grateful for your business and SHOW it. Major difference. However, once in a while i stumble across a hidden gem in this large city, one I've driven past 100 times and never looked twice at. Well that was my mistake, because turns out I've been missing out on some really great food! The Lunchbox Deli, Yeeps. Orange Park area, across from the hospital. It's kinda hidden by the gas station, so you gotta slow down a little or you'll pass it. Small joint, but very clean and charming on the inside. They also have outside seating if you prefer. Behind the counter you will see every baking accessory known to man (kitchenaid stand mixers, dozens of different baking pans, kitchen tools I've never seen before, etc.), which is GOOD, because that's a clear indication that most, if not everything, is made in-house. I learned that this is a family-owned, local business, so that's a bonus for me. Food: The menu isn't overbearingly extensive, yet pretty much covers all the bases. They have a breakfast and lunch menu...with a vast array of items to satisfy both veg-os (I mean...vegetarians) and carnivores alike. I was there for breakfast, and upon thorough examination, one menu item in particular said "Pick me! Pick meeee!" The corned beef bagel sandwich. Fresh in-house corned beef and bubbly melted swiss on your choice of toasted bagel. I went with the asiago cheese. While I was waiting, i canvassed the dessert case, which held, at the minimum, a dozen different flavors of home-made cake pops. The cinnamon bread pudding loaf looked equally inviting, especially when I learned that it is served with a caramel dipping sauce. I know, right? The bagel sandwich was even better than I expected. The freshness of the meat really came through and paired exceptionally well with both bagel and melted cheese. Loved it, want another, and soon. Wrap Up: I believe it would benefit both parties greatly if you would give this joint a visit. The owner also informed me that they make cakes for special occasions and cater. Demitri (the kid in the family-owned business) was also very friendly, so shout out to you!

Went in today and had the gourmet chicken salad, and I was super excited to try it. It was good, not amazing. I hadn't been in this deli in years, so I asked a few questions about things (while I was the only person in the place) and the owner came off a little rude, as if I was annoying her. The last thing I want is to go in a privately owned business, that I want to support, and feel like I'm bothering someone by asking a few simple questions. I got the raspberry mint tea and all I taste is mint, so I don't like that, and my sandwich had a pickle with it that looks very old, smushed and small, so that's something going right in the trash. The whole experience wasn't great, I doubt I'll be going back.

Lemon blueberry cake!
Lydia B.

Finally got a chance to come today. The owner and chef/baker is so nice and talented! We enjoyed delicious soup sandwiches and chicken salad. Not to mention the dessert!! Cinnabon bread pudding and an amazing lemon blueberry cake! For sure will be a lunch stop from now on!!!!

Red Velvet custom cake made for my daughter's baby shower was absolutely delicious.
Kathy H.

Chicken salad is so good! And the cake she made for my daughter's baby shower was absolutely beautiful, and delicious.

Chicken salad sandwich

The rudest service ever. Went there for lunch carry out for my coworkers and me. The lady, who is the owner, is so rude and unprofessional. Upon checking out, there was a misunderstanding with whose sandwich belonged to whom. She decides in a room full of people to announce that because I couldn't figure out whose sandwich belonged to whom, that she had to redo the whole order. This is not true she called out my coworkers name and I gave her the card. It turned out to be the wrong name. Written on the side of the bag was the wrong name as well . You do not spell CheRie like Shaneese. We have gone several times and like the food. But, if you are that busy get help Treat your Customer's with respect. We won't be going back. I can get a blt at Grumpys and they are soo nice there

Greek salad served with rotten iceberg lettuce and a piece of onion skin.
Pam D.

Awful- for almost $11 I was served a Greek salad with rotten lettuce, and onion skin, and one tiny scoop of chicken salad. The salad was undersized and the meal was underwhelming.

We got a few things to try out because we were nearby and had a little craving for sweets…read more Food-8/10. The flavors are great but the cake is a bit dense and dry. I really wish it had a softer lighter bite but it lacked any sponginess. I realized quickly we would need some milk for coffee to wash it down. The icing was divine though. The caramel drizzle on mine was sweet but not overpowering an in perfect balance. I just really wish the cake itself had been better. I know people prefer different density in their cakes but I'm of the moist and spongy variety. Also the price is a bit high for the cupcake size especially given the quality. Service-10/10. It's counter service but the staff is welcoming and quick to assist. Atmosphere-10/10. Not too difficult to find amid a strip of stores. It's clean and cozy enough with nice seating options.

The restaurant is a little on the smaller side but cozy. Service was super friendly as well! I ordered the following: Keto breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese: 9/10 - it was so delicious oh my goodness! It was pretty huge too! You can have your choice of bread and I chose a flatbread. The egg was fluffy, cheese was melted, and the bacon was crispy. Who would have though the sandwich was entirely keto friendly too??? Keto cheesecake: 8/10 - I didn't know it was crustless but nonetheless, it was delicious. It had caramel, chocolate drizzle, and nuts on top of the cheesecake layer. The cheesecake itself was creamy and flavorful. They had plenty of carb friendly and keto friendly desserts like brownies, cakes, and cupcakes in their display. I've had their keto cupcakes before and it's kind of dense but it tastes good with not alot of the fake sugar aftertaste. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and desserts. I will be back to try other things for sure!

And, let me tell you how nice the staff is! Ms. Lindsey was our waitress and she was very helpful in finding foods for me that did not have onion-stuff in it!

I've been to Metro Diner before. It was near downtown but it's been several years. I decided to…read morestop by for breakfast today as this location is near me. So that being said, let's dive in.. Food-6/10. I remember when Metro Diner was always doing unique dishes. The current menu feels standard diner and for the taste of the food, I'd rather pay the cheaper prices at other chain breakfast joints. I got the creme brûlée coffee which wasn't bad, but their cups are small and they don't fill them fully. That combined with the fact that when hey refill your cup it's with regular coffee is a bit disappointing. Though what truly disappointed was the fried chicken benedict. While the chicken was good, the poached egg was very under done and barely holding together and the yolk was quite cold. The hollandaise felt watery and lacked flavor. Meanwhile the home fries were a bit soggy instead of crisp. Service-9/10. My drink order was taken immediately as they seated me and brought quickly as well so I hadn't had a chance to look at the menu at all by the time she brought my coffee. I asked for a minute to get a look but then she didn't come back for quite a while. After placing my order she was gone for quite a while and I was longing for a coffee refill. I hadn't seen her in so long. I started to wonder if maybe she had gone home and someone else was going to be covering my area but hadn't made their way to me yet. Eventually, someone else brought my food out and they finally asked if I would like a refill on my coffee. Then a bit later she showed up to drop the check off. What was frustrating about this was that the restaurant was probably only half full. And despite that I struggled to be able to get a coffee refill. Atmosphere-4/10. The space feels like they just cram as many tables in as possible to get as many butts in the seat as possible. They take you into a middle table that you have to navigate through other seated people to get to and the spaces to navigate through are far too narrow. The noise levels inside are aggravatingly high. The music they're playing over their speakers is so loud that everybody is yelling to talk to the person across the table from them and be heard. And it just ends up everybody being louder and louder to be heard over the music. By the time I left, I had a throbbing headache. As far as the exterior, parking is a bit dreadful. Expect to have to park behind the building and walk to the front to enter. All in all, I can certainly say this was not the cozy breakfast experience. I had hoped it would be. It feels like at least this location has become overly commercial.

I personally love the breakfast more than anything else and will order breakfast for dinner as well. The pancakes are always a solid choice as they are nice and fluffy and a little crisp from the butter. The fact they have different syrup options including real maple syrup is also a plus for me. The meats can be over cooked or under cooked depending on the cook. This last visit they had a berry tea that was fantastic and our wonderful server gave us a cup to go as well. Service is usually pretty good. Unfortunately when it's busy, service can kind of lack. This last visit we were sat at a table that hadn't been cleaned by the hostess. There was hash browns and sausage on the floor and when the poor server saw this, she went to go get a broom to clean. She felt terrible. No one looked at the chairs though, which also had food, so I swept it on the floor. It was terrible, but I felt bad for the server as well. The store is fun to look around at, the biggest issue I have is that there is one line for paying your bill and for the store checkout. The line can be long and take quite some time. They recently added a barcode at the bottom of your receipt to pay online, however I don't think most of the crowd has noticed so the lines are long. Whether the service is hit or miss and the food cooked properly, Cracker Barrel offers something for everyone so all in your party can leave satisfied.
