    Chicken Tender Basket
    Holly M.

    I ordered this chicken tender basket for lunch on a Saturday because I heard they had good food. I'm a barber so I couldn't get to eat it for an hour and a half so by the time I got to it, it had cooled down. But let me just say, even cooled down, this food was incredible. No stale taste at all! The fries were divine, perfectly seasoned! And the tenders were even better than the fries, the perfect crispy crunch outer layer and seasoning, even after sitting there that long. I will be giving these people my money again, ok!

    You can see the deluxe Stromboli is packed full of ingredients. Freshly made in this is awesome.
    Patrick J.

    My wife and I tried this place for the first time this Saturday after July 4. It's a little hole in a wall and it doesn't look like much from the outside however it is absolutely a gem. The service is great. They're friendly. The Stromboli was cooked to perfection and stuffed full. We got the deluxe Stromboli and 10 Cajun ranch wings. Going to rate the Stromboli a solid 8.8 out of 10. And the wings 8.2 out of 10. Not only will I come back here again this made it to probably our top 10 local restaurants... We will definitely be back.

    It was the great food we had

    Food was amazing and thanks Christ. You can get different kinds of pizza and also Asian food as well.

    Gambino Meatball Sub
    Sean H.

    This business is under new ownership. The owner was very nice, service is quick and the food is much better than the previous owners. I ordered the Gambino Meatball sub with a bag of plain Lays chips. The next day I went back and ordered just a side of fries. Both days the food was made fresh and flavorful as well. I will definitely be back to try out most everything else on their menu. They have sandwiches, wings, and pizza plus many other items. Highly recommend to give them a shot if you are in the area.

    Antipasto salad
    Sunnie B.

    I attempted to visit a nearby nail salon and ran across this spot. Pizza places usually have great antipasto salads, but this place doesn't. I really wish I hadn't wasted my money here. The customer service was great though. I should've know something was wrong by how light the plate was. I still think Hungry Howes has the best antipasto salad. Sorry.

    medium pepperoni pizza.

    I was in search of a quick lunch and was looking for a Pizza spot. I found Wise Guys 7 mins away. The service was great and med. Pepperoni pizza for 7.25 was not bad. The sauce and cheese made the pizza and it tasted good. I will go there again soon.

    Pizza!

    Came here during lunch time on a Tuesday. It was very busy and a long wait. When it was time to…read moreorder, they were mostly out of everything. I got the Reuben with pastrami and the wings. Both of these were very good. My husband ended up getting a chicken club or something because they were out of the two the things he wanted to try. He also ordered the bacon and cheese tots. His food items were very bland , no seasoning. He did not enjoy it. Overall it was ok, maybe it was the rush.

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!

What really sets them apart is that they make their own bread in-house, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect foundation for an incredible sandwich. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell there's so much love and care poured into every item they serve. Between the generous portions, homemade bread, and genuine hospitality, it's easy to see why people keep coming back.

I stopped by for lunch after being invited to try their Cuban sandwich, a fitting challenge for a shop that has built its reputation on oversized portions and doing things the old fashioned way. The bread is baked in house, the mojo marinade is made from scratch, and that attention to detail shows up in every bite. Calling this sandwich "large" doesn't quite capture it. It's enormous. Thick enough to make you question your strategy before the first bite, and easily enough food for two, maybe even four lighter eaters. Inside the soft house-made bread is a generous stack of mojo marinated pulled pork, thick slices of ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. It's substantial without feeling sloppy, every ingredient has a purpose. The timing of this visit couldn't have been better. I had just returned from two weeks in Miami, where Cuban sandwiches and Medianoches were part of my regular diet. Those flavors were still fresh in my memory. Blue Boy isn't trying to recreate Little Havana. This isn't served on traditional crusty Cuban bread, and that's perfectly fine. This is Jacksonville's interpretation, a Duval Cuban that respects the original while confidently doing its own thing. The pork is juicy and packed with citrus and garlic from the mojo. The ham adds saltiness, the Swiss melts into every layer, and the mustard and pickles provide the sharp, tangy contrast that every great Cuban needs. It checks every box while carving out its own identity. Some sandwiches are lunch. This one is lunch, dinner, and maybe tomorrow's snack if you somehow manage not to finish it all. Blue Boy proves that honoring tradition doesn't always mean copying it. Sometimes the best local classics are the ones that confidently become their own tradition.

I came on a Thurs at 1130am and was able to order/leave in 15-20 minutes. What made me fall in love with this place was, believe it or not, the Caesar salad dressing!!! It had so much flavor and was so addicting I ate the salad in 5 minutes. The Hot Italian sandwich had tender flavorful meats, great addition with the banana peppers, and bread was light/fluffy/spot on! The wedding cake was SO GOOD! Layers of moist cake, creamy icing and sweet strawberries. Yum! The inside decor wasn't very fancy but who cares when the food's so good? Will totally be back.
