Reviews For The Sheik Sandwiches and Subs

Excellent food and service! I love The Sheik Sandwiches and Subs for their delicious food and fast, friendly service. They offer a wide variety of sub and pita sandwiches as well as burgers, and even serve up delicious breakfasts in the morning. Plain and simple, they do delicious food in an unpretentious setting, with friendly staff who will bring your food tray to your table when your ready. The Sheik often makes me think of how the large, franchised chains must have been before they got big and expanded outside of their original local ownership. Each local, Jacksonville location (of which there are many) is different in terms of the building facade and interior layout, but the menu, cleanliness and service are all top notch no matter which one you go to. All have drive thrust for your convenience. Pictured here is one of their signature sandwiches, the steak 'n a sak, and the other one is the Camel Rider. The burgers are a great value and require two hands. Don't forget to get a brownie, too --as you can see in the photo, I couldn't wait to take a bite!

The burger and fries were prepared fresh. The meat tasted like real beef. The sandwich was hot and the lettuce and tomatoes were cold just like I prefer. As for the fries, because of health reasons I refused the extra seasoning so they weren't very memorable. But once I got home a little catsup and hot sauce and they were up to par. The cherry limeade was HUGE, HUGE!!!cold and tasty. We used the drive thru which was relatively fast even though our food was prepared fresh. I would recommend this particular Sheik for a tasty nice sized hamburger meal at a low cost. I could only finish half my burger. I'll confess the limeade was so good I filled up on my drink it was such a hot day and the cherry was the dominant taste in the cherry limeade. I've only been here once but I'd recommend this Sheik restaurant. I don't think all the Sheik restaurants are equal in quality food. I will surely go out of my way to this particular SHIEK when I'm craving a good burger and don't have 20 that the higher end restaurants charge. And my waitress was smiling and friendly. She made sure my large order was perfec to my taste.A smiling face, and great service, That was a rare treat.

First time trying out the Sheik, I loved the double with their special Barbecue sauce. Came with napkins and even Ketchup. A far better burger then McDonald's and White Castle etc. I hope they stay in Business, it's a great establishment.

Here's another "Hidden Jacksonville Jem!!". I was born and raised in Jacksonville on the West Side and grew up on The Sheik!! 51 years later and they Still Don't Disappoint!! The staff at this location did a fantastic job from service, cleanliness of the restaurant to the quality of the food!! Hamburgers are still huge and best fries ANYWHERE all at an affordable price!! If there was a Sheik in Ocala, I would eat there every day! But for now, I'll drive as it is worth the drive all day long!! Thanks to ALL and we will be back!!

UPDATE: The Sheik is no more. It will soon be a Fryday's. ---------------- I haven't eaten at The Sheik in over 15 years, but decided to grab a sandwich from them today (drive thru, not dine in). I went after 3 PM, so after any lunch crowd had dispersed. I ordered the BLT Pita sandwich and some seasoned fries. The fries were freshly made, HOT, and delicious. The sandwich made my day. The pita bread was soft, and the bacon cooked just right. I was surprised at how good it tasted. As for service, I was expecting to have to wait for the food, but it was ready to go in a matter of minutes, even with the fries just coming out of the frier. I'll be back.

I came here a couple days ago I was driving and my blood sugar I think was low and I pulled in there cause I was a little dizzy and needed a drink and something to eat, but I only had five dollars on me so I went in there and seen what they have Lady was the nicest kindest, most caring person in the world at that moment and she helped me got me some food before I drove off she made sure I was ok and I will always be grateful to her. I did not know her name and I apologize. This is the right store on Beach Boulevard and I think only a couple people work there , so thank you the way you do business and the way you treat a human being with respect is mind blowing and I hope to lead the same way you do thank you and God bless y’all
