Now, Jacksonville continues to talk about this amazing homegrown sandwich and sub shop!

Another locally owned hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop. When you’re headed out to the beaches this summer, stop in and grab one of their subs to take with you. They have fresh sandwiches, grilled sandwiches, and pressed sandwiches! Something for everyone’s liking. We also recommend trying any of their loaded fries; it’s worth it.
A Northeast Florida institution with roots going back to 1995, The French Pantry is one of those rare spots that earns its loyal following one bite at a time. What started as a commercial bakery quietly became a beloved lunch destination after a handful of curious high schoolers asked for sandwiches, and that spirit of simple, quality food has never left. Today, the menu is a wonderful mix of creative and classic, featuring standouts like the Turkey Goat Cheese and Pesto, a rich and satisfying French Dip, and the legendary Muffuletta. Every sandwich is built on their exceptional artisanal bread, baked fresh with only the finest ingredients. The cozy, eclectic atmosphere feels like gathering with old friends, and the devoted regulars who have been coming for decades are proof that this place is something truly special.
If trendy is your style, the 1928 Cuban Bistro is calling your name! You’re promised a taste of Cuban flare in all their dishes. A classic favorite is their Cuban sandwich. If you want to try something new, we recommend trying the 904 or the Pollo a La Plancha. Both of these sandwiches are so different but so tasteful. They also have a wide selection of breakfast options, desserts, and drinks as well. It’s the perfect spot for a brunch or just to hang out and relax. It is all around, a bright and fun vibe.

If you are a cheesesteak lover, Eddis & Sons is exactly where you need to be. Voted the number one cheesesteak in Jacksonville, this Philadelphia-style restaurant has been chopping up some of the best cheesesteaks in Florida since 2015, and every bite proves why. Their classic cheesesteak is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, but the menu goes far beyond the original. Whether you are feeling bold with a buffalo chicken cheesesteak smothered in hot sauce or curious enough to try the surprisingly satisfying vegan cheesesteak, there is truly something for everyone. The casual, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a great spot to bring the kids, and whatever you do, do not leave without trying the cheesesteak fries!
Not your traditional sandwich, but absolutely worth every bite, Arepa Please has been bringing the bold and vibrant flavors of Venezuela to Jacksonville since 2018. Featured in over 11 publications including Forbes, this colorful and artsy restaurant is as much an experience as it is a meal. The star of the show is the arepa, a crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside cornmeal pocket stuffed with incredible fillings. The Queen, filled with shredded chicken, creamy avocado, and a touch of mayo, is a must-try, and the Pabellon, packed with shredded beef, black beans, sweet plantains, and queso blanco, is equally outstanding. Wash it all down with a fresh parchita juice and soak in the lively atmosphere. Whether you are a first-timer or a regular, Arepa Please is a Jacksonville dining experience unlike any other.

A Jacksonville original since 1982, Larry’s Giant Subs was built on a simple promise: use the best ingredients and never cut corners. Brothers Larry and Mitch Raikes started with that philosophy at their very first location, and more than 40 years later, nothing has changed. Every sub is loaded generously, and the quality of what goes inside is unmatched in the sub world. Their all-natural Black Angus roast beef, antibiotic-free turkey, and award-winning bread from Costanzo’s Bakery in Buffalo set them apart from any other chain out there. The Meatball Sub is a crowd favorite with a sauce that keeps people coming back, and the build-your-own option means you can customize every detail to your liking. With a breakfast menu and plenty of specialty subs to choose from, Larry’s is a reliable, feel-good stop any time of day.

Tucked right across from Micklers’ Beach on A1A, Gastrosubs is a locally owned gem that takes the sandwich seriously. This gourmet sandwich shop is built around two things: exceptional ingredients and genuine hospitality, and both show up in every order. From hearty subs and fresh wraps to satisfying salads and French bread pizzas, the menu has plenty to explore, no matter what you are craving. The signature subs are the real draw, crafted with care and the kind of quality you do not usually expect from a laid-back beachside stop. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and step inside. You will not be disappointed.
