Great value and friendly fast & fresh food and service! The $8.99 double huge burgers is a great deal. Font sleep on the BLT in a pita is amazing. Of course don't forget the seasoned fries ! Excellent and quick !! read more

Ok. I tried. I actually tried 4 times! First time, I ordered egg and cheese in a pita. Got down the road, no cheese. Too late to turn around, it had no butter, mayo, nothing, it was so dry and tasteless I just threw it away. Second time, ordered egg and cheese in a pita, with butter. Got just egg, no cheese, and so much butter it was running down my arm. Threw it away. Third time, ordered egg and cheese but wanted an extra egg (so 3 instead of the standard 2) with butter, and when the girl read my order back she didn't mention cheese. I asked again for cheese and she said all the breakfast sandwiches had cheese. Great! Got my order, drove off, down the road I look and it's 2 eggs in a pita. No extra egg, no cheese, no butter. I really had decided at that point to never go back. How hard can it be? This isn't a complicated order. Egg, cheese, butter. That's it! But apparently I'm a glutton for punishment and decided to try it one more time. 4th trip...ordered egg and cheese in a pita with light butter. Paid, left, got down the road, opened my sandwich and here we go again. No cheese. No butter. I tore the sandwich in half to make absolute sure there was no cheese. This time I turned around, I go inside tell them what happened. The girl ADMITS she didn't wring up cheese, that it's her fault, but then hands my now NOT HOT sandwich to the kitchen and asked them to put cheese on it. They did. She hands me back my original sandwich, (which remember I had broke in half and dug thru the egg to find the cheese), with room temp cheese on my room temp sandwich, and still no butter!...and tells me to have a good day. I was so fed up at that point that I didn't even want to argue that they SHOULD have offered me a fresh breakfast sandwich. The manager was right there. Yes they apologized. But I expressed that this was the FOURTH time this had happened, so you would think she would want to make sure everything was correct before I left. Needless to say, I threw it away and didn't eat it. I really hoped this last time they would redeem themselves, but nope. So, I'm done. I will drive right past there and stop somewhere else for a quick breakfast on the go. I'm just still blown away that they can't get this simple order correct, and even more blown away that when I went in that they didn't do better at rectifying the problem, and offer to make me a new one that was fresh and hot. IF they had at least done that, I may have even possibly given them another chance. But that's just poor customer service. read more

If you want just a good burger and fries this is the place. According to my husband, very little has changed from when he was growing up in the area. We ordered burger combos and our son got a pita. He raved about his sandwich. Our burgers were great with the perfect amount of toppings, and the fries were super hot and fresh. The service was fast and all the employees were friendly. The drink and condiment stations were clean and well stocked. If I'm guaranteed to get the same food and service I'll be back every time we visit the area. read more

Customer service is shit. They cannot even get the basics to your order correct. Missing food is not acceptable. You pay for it but they don't want to give it to you ... Upon calling and letting them know, they're rude on the phone and basically try to argue with you about it. I bet they would want what THEY PAY FOR. Terrible place of business read more

First off, the service today in the drive thru was not good. He spoke too low, was confusing and was just impersonal. Got home and the steak in a sack meat was bad (tasting and smelling) we had to throw it away. The cheeseburger on our order was drenched in mayonnaise to the point it was inedible. I used to enjoy this place, but it's gone downhill last few visits. Probably won't go back for a long while, sadly. read more

This is the only location where I order a burger and get it almost instantly after placing my order. It doesn't taste fresh at all but like it's pre cooked then microwaved upon ordering. Even the bun is extremely hot. This is the second time and there won't be a 3rd. I'll go to sheik in Jax. Also I watched the "cook" eat fries with gloves on right after putting my fries in the window. The people are nice but the food is trash and the cook is unsanitary. read more

Good food, service is friendly, clean restaurant. I am a stickler for the roast beef pita and it is always great!

Every Sheik location is the same in terms of the menu. Breakfast is great, burgers are just OK but the hot dogs, pitas and subs are great. Steak in a sack with cheese and peppers is my go to. It is community themed with local school sports jerseys and hats on the walls. The owner is hospitable and is often found in the lobby talking to customers, which is something I have never seen in another Sheik. Service is pretty quick and the seasoned fries finish off a good, fast food meal. Callahan doesn't have a ton of options but if fast food is what you are after, this is the best place to go. read more

First time in the location and I was shocked at how clean the place appeared and smelled. The staff were very nice and the food came out very fast. Not bad for a quick fast food bite read more

Service and quality continue to go down here. We used to love this place but the last few times have just been awful. Staff is rude, they have no idea what they are doing and just poor food quality. I honestly can't remember the last time our order was even right. We stopped giving them chances. read more

Ordered burger no cheese it was so nuked everything slid off when I picked it up one side of bun wet the other hard was so disgusting so disappointed. Double hamburger was gross read more

dudeeeeeeeeee oh my thank you Sheik sheesh the best yummiest pita sandwich ever, no guilt after eating out and that's a first for Callahan! I can't wait to try everything on your menu! thank you for being decent delicious and divine! read more

Very good food and fast service. Have eaten there many of times and never been disappointed!

Yuck, ok so I've eaten at other sheiks locations and don't think they boil their hamburgers, just tasteless steamed patty, guess it stays dry n business because lack of competition read more

The Sheik - Just can't eat anymore of this - Burgers Near Me - Callahan, Florida

was overcharged for a sandwich and drink. went to purchase a steak in a sack and a drink and was charged 14 bucks just for the sandwich and a drink. Make sure the pricing is right and make sure to grab a receipt. read more

The food and the stellar customer service experience is bar none. I go for breakfast here 3 times a week.

I got a bacon cheeseburger and oh my sweet Jesus is this place good. One of the best burgers I've had. Good fries

Best steak in a sack!! Add cheese and peppers! You have to try it next time! And this place is not over priced

Food was good. Men's bathroom was nasty. We told one of the workers. They didn't seem too concerned.

The salads and roast beef riders are great. Callahan doesn't have a ton of great restaurants but the folks here are nice, place is clean and food is fresh. read more

Food was amazing as always! We plan our trip from Georgia to make it through to eat here. The service is friendly and the location has plenty of parking. The steak pita is THE BEST! read more

This was our first time here for breakfast. We had the breakfast platter ( 2 eggs, country ham, toast and grits) was ok but nothing to write home about. (Some reasons for missing 2 stars toast was semi cold, not much butter on it, meat was cooked on flat top and was over cooked so edges were hard, jelly was in packets like Ketchup( I hate these ... it's a personal thing...lol) strong coffee and not good coffee. read more

Food is great. Well made grits and eggs perfectly made to order. Pancakes are huge. Steak sandwich was great. Reasonably priced. Food and drinks for 3 30.00 read more

I tried this shop a year or so ago and was not wow'd. I see a lot of local people eat from here and wondered if I was missing something. They recently moved across the street to a brand new restaurant. I thought it would be a great opportunity to give it another shot. My first impression of the atmosphere was a lot like the last location. It is depressing. Drab colors and the big cold depressed feel of a rented function hall. Sadly, Callahan has very few sit-down restaurants, which is why almost everyone goes to River City Marketplace in Jacksonville to eat. This location is clean but it has an unwelcoming cold feeling. The staff are friendly, but are as engaged as you would expect high school staff to be. The food was as I remembered from last time. Bland. The fries were wilted and mealy. The sandwich was plain and boring. With Subway right up the street with fresh bread and flavored options and an energetic atmosphere, the Sheik feels like something I could make at home and costs about the same price as Subway. It saddens me to feel this way, as I was really excited about the new opening, but the food and the atmosphere are so blah that I don't think I'll try it again. read more

After hearing my 17 yr old nephew's story about working at the sheik and why he left, I must say I am shocked at the lack of compassion and professionalism the management has for its employees. Especially our young adults and high schoolers. Most of the staff are either related or longtime friends and it shows negatively. Some are held to higher standards than others and some are allowed to slack with no accountability. It was not a fair or comfortable environment for my nephew. There are no free meals, or employee discounts for food, drink or the cheaply made shirts sold to employees to wear. Worst of all the business owner has made the decision NOT to distribute tips made on a daily basis and splits them all into small Christmas Bonuses. In my eyes tips are what make food service worth while and as a business that mainly attracts a lot of younger kids who are in school or not able to work all year long that cheats them out of hard earned income. BEWARE BEFORE YOU TIP!!! You may want to start slipping your money into the cashiers pockets instead of the bosses. read more

Burger patty's were frozen the stale sub was good but not the traditional flavor. Fries were good

They have a super friendly staff. But sadly that's all that they have going. I've been going to Sheik in Jacksonville for years. Don't have the same quality at all. I try to be understand working in the food industry myself but just over all disappointing. I first got my food wrong. Order bacon, egg and cheese pita. Got sausage instead. Turned around to return it. Got a pita with no cheese. Ate through 3/4th hoping there would be cheese. There was none. Then notices mold all over my pita bread. Just a disappointing experience. read more

This place has super friendly staff and the food is good, unfortunately they don't know how to put it together. I've never had a philly cheese steak with steak, American cheese, onions and Banana peppers. My suggestion would be, make sure you tell them the ingredients that goes into a philly before you order, pay for and get it home. read more

Meh. This was my first time ever to visit The Sheik and I was so disappointed. The drive thru situation was so odd.. we pulled up and they acted like we should've already ordered and apparently we should have? It seems that you are supposed to park in the front and wait for someone to come out and take your order and then drive to the window to pick up? Not really sure... but it was not a quick trip for to go breakfast. I ordered the breakfast bowl with grits, eggs and bacon... I'm pretty sure they poured melted butter on top. I'm completely turned off of The Sheik now. Sorry guys. :( read more

I ordered the grilled chicken pita and asked for no mayo. They suggested adding the Sheik dressing to my sandwich so it wouldn't be dry. It was fabulous. read more

New location and same slow service. Matter of fact is slower. It took 23 minutes to get through the drive thru. You sit at the drive thru five minutes before they even open it so you can pay. Food is ok. Nothing special. Limited choices in Callahan. read more

Every Sheik I've eaten at has been great! Great prices and quality sandwiches. I've eaten at this location one time and everyone was very pleasant! The Steak in a sack was delicious. read more

This place is top notch! The steak in a sack is phenomenal. You get service with a smile and they actually remember your name if you come back more than once! Totally recommend this sheik as each are locally owned! Love love love it! read more

My wife and I go there often. The food is great, the staff is friendly, and the place is always very clean. Ideal place for couples or family to enjoy a great meal. The owner himself is always there with friendly conversation and caring attention that your meal meets your expectations. read more

I have tried them many times, lately, all I get are stale sub rolls, I tried the store at Regency, same thing, stale bread. They were good when they first opened, but as usual, they have gone down hill. I should have gone to Subway across the street. read more

A quick pickup for a sandwich. Average boiled hot dogs, burgers. Local hangout for retirees

Had the steak in a pocket this weekend and it was pretty dang good!! I'm not from Florida and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was! If you need something quick they also have a drive thru! Awesome!!! read more

this place is just plain gross. it's even new! i believe it's where the first callahan covid outbreak started. very deplorable. they don't even have good hot dogs! let your staff get some rest, jimmy or tony or whatever your name is read more

Not great for a health conscious person. Everything is fried. Sucks because I was really hoping to get gyros there, which they dont have.

This location is new to Callahan. I was super excited to visit to get me a steak on the sac. I usually go to the location off of 103rd or Main Street. I placed my order in detail. I get home and the order is totally incorrect. I called and the manager stated to bring back the food. This has happen 3 times so far. After my last visit of them not putting the correct cheese on my steak in the sac I gave up on this location. They have lost a good customer. I'm done spending my hard earned money for them to give me the wrong order. I'm done. read more
