Desert Rider Sandwich Shop

Quaint, no-frills deli in downtown Jax. Tasty pita sandwiches and good potato salad. It gets busy at lunch and space inside is limited.

A hidden gem in downtown Jacksonville.

The most disgusting sandwich shop I've ever ate in my life 20 minutes afterwards I had stomach problems I don't understand why you could call that a sandwich or even that you're still in business I'm so confused about the quality of food here in Jacksonville. I feel like that everybody here in Jacksonville is eating out of a garbage can once or twice and call it gourmet.

I only write reviews when service is sub-par. If you don't hear from me you're doing a great job.

Ordered a sandwich. Paid and sat.

Sandwich (delicious BTW) comes out. Minus potato salad. I ask, "Can I get chips?"

"No. We're out".

I point to the "premium" chips out front. "How about those chips?"

"No. You have to pay for those".

I'm in a good mood and probably don't need the carbs anyway.

Lunch isn't what it used to be.

Went to get me a country boy breakfast but it's not the same as 20 years ago to much butter and cheese. I did get a chicken salad from there and it was the best salad I have ever had.

Unequivocally the best and cheapest place to eat downtown. Old fashioned customer service from a great old school sandwich shop. We downtowners need Desert Rider. How many places can you say you got to have lunch with Mayor Deegan? ?

I got for the chicken salad

Great place for sandwiches, soups and salads in downtown Jax! We had the grilled chicken & Donna’s fave on pita with potato salad and a drink — perfect for a quick lunch and affordable! Plus they gave us free cookies for our first visit. The homemade chocolate chip & oatmeal raisin cookies — AMAZING! ?

The gals working there were so welcoming and kind. Highly recommend!!!
