A hidden gem--I just love it when I find one! This deli-style café has very fresh ingredients and a wide-ranging menu. One of my sons had read some online reviews of it and wanted to try the food--yes, a small adventure to get mom out and about. Very friendly atmosphere even though we arrived about fifty minutes before the 3 o'clock p.m. closing. Wonderful attitude towards dealing with my allergy to onions and I had no reaction to what I ate so I know the chef was careful! I had the classic Italian sub (sans onion) and my son had the beef Philly. I asked that half of my sub be wrapped for to-go and it was nicely done and placed in a clamshell. I devoured the other half! My son loved his Philly. There's plenty of inside seating. It's very near Baptist South Hospital and there's shopping nearby, so a good place to keep in mind for an outing or a quick meal. I highly recommend it!

I've written a positive review about Chow Down before & here comes another. This is a Great breakfast & lunch spot with nice folks, and a variety of fresh delicious choices. Today a friend and I stopped in for lunch. She ordered a BLT. It was a well stuffed sandwich with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and bacon. I had a fried chicken salad that consisted of lettuce, chopped tomatoes, red onion, croutons & shredded cheese that melted over the chicken. I chose a delicious Southwest dressing. It was a little spicy but so good. And ... they gave me what looked like a 1/4 lb container of it, which was more than enough. I hate when I run out of dressing before I finish my salad. We also decided to be nice wives and get our husbands one of the specials of the day to go. The special was an Italian combo with fries and a drink for $13.95. I thought this was a good value since it was a nice size sub. & order of crispy hot fries plus you are able to choose your own drink. The choices besides fountain drinks were bottles of Gatorade, or Large iced teas. I highly suggest you give them a try soon.

I have a soft spot for locally owned restaurants like this one. In my 1 visit, i got the chicken philly with potato salad, a drink and a cookie. No complaints, the sandwiches are made to order and customizable to fit anyones preferences. I ordered the combo and substituted the fries for their potato salad. They served me the potato salad first so i could eat while they prepared the sandwich. I like that they go out of their way to please customers.

Forget Denny's, forget IHOP for me it's all about the mom and pop business around me. It's safe to say for me I choose Chow Down Alley every time. Once you walk through the front door someone always greets you and makes you feel welcomed. Once you walk up to the ordering counter you get greeted again by the Beautiful ladies that I believe run the whole place other than the mail owner who's always at register. Now on to my meal which was saliva-tingly good. I order the chicken tender wrap with honey mustard on a tomato basil wrap with lettuce and onions. I'm not really a fan of tomatoes on my food so I decided to leave it out. As you can see from my pictures that the food was put together with love and kindness. That's what I always say when my food looks very presentable. I like to toot my own horn in my photography portrait skills from time to time and with each Yelp review I'm only getting better I believe. This may seem far fetched but I will go on record and say Chow Down Alley has the best seasoned crinkle fries in Jacksonville. Their exact temperature to hot and ready is like no other. I love my fries in between mushy and completely crispy and I'm saying they have that down to a science there. With every fry it's mouth watering taste as they have little bowls to fill your ketchup desires. Absolutely referring anyone to go to Chow Down Alley to try their food as long as I get an invite as well

Such a cute little place! I came in on my lunch break and they had a good crowd. I got the chicken tender wrap combo with fries and had them toss my chicken in buffalo. Soo good and such a huge portion for the price! You also need to get a side of ranch. It's their house ranch and it was so good! Everyone there was also super nice and friendly. Just found my new lunch spot so I definitely recommend going here!

Small town diner atmosphere. Breakfast and lunch menu full of delicious options. Some "off-menu" items. I had the Kickin' Chicken sandwich, has a crispy outside and soft, tender inside. The french fries are good n seasoned good. The house ranch is good, made in house.I'll be back to try some of the other menu options.

Good afternoon all. Today I tried a restaurant called Chowdown Alley for lunch today. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Salad with the homemade Ranch Dressing. I didn't think I would like it but I was very impressed. The staff greet you walking in the door, their always smiling and it looks like they know ever person who comes in by name. Impressive. Now the salad was plentiful and fresh, the chicken was juicy and seasoned well. Now for the homemade Ranch Dressing, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you try it. That dressing is soooooo good. I will definitely be going back again to try the Blackened Chicken Salad and the Chicken Tender Salad. . Definitely a repeater.
