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!!!

It's really nice to have a place right by work where I can get a cheap lunch. Today I got a sandwich for $6 and it's hard to come by a lunch from a restaurant for less than $10 these days. Be aware that the prices on the menu pictured here aren't up to date. Now, the menu at the front has the prices blocked out since they've been raised a bit due to inflation (not their fault!!!). The sandwich I got was pretty alright, like a healthy lunch you'd pack for yourself. Overall this is a good option for lunch if you work close by. I went around noon and it was pretty chaotic in there. Staff didn't want to deal with a new customer like me. For example when I ordered my sandwich they asked me if I wanted it "all the way" and when I didn't know what that meant they got frustrated with me. If you're going for the first time I recommend avoiding the lunch rush.

Had to run into the eye doctor. Good thing about that was being able to grab a Camel Ryder to go. Made for a good day!

You can't replicate what your mama makes, but this place can. Nothing like some warm feeling tasty sandwiches.

I really liked the atmosphere here. Store was clean despite being very old. Service was quick and everyone seemed friendly enough. I had the Desert Rider. It did not taste bad, but for $8 I expected a bit more. It was filling and they did not skimp on the tomatoes. But it did not have much flavor. Overall I wish I had gone somewhere else. I imagine part of the issue is its downtown, and things tend to be a bit pricy here.
I have been a long time customer of Desert Rider and am so sad but the change over there. It has always been a great lunch spot but lately they have been so rude and unfriendly. They now lock their door by 1:30 not accepting new orders, not answering the phone. They clearly have forgotten they are in a service business. I doubt I will revisit the location (not b/c of food etc) but they really do not have any customer service. I was at the door and they opened it to let someone out and the woman wouldn't even acknowlege me as standing there. so disapointing. not sure why the change but this place is no longer a place I want to want to give my money.
