Pinegrove Market & Deli

Pinegrove Market & Deli is a Jacksonville institution. After being introduced to Pinegrove by a friend many moons ago, I've still been going here for years and always leave full and happy. It's great to walk into a place where the owners know you by name, even if you haven't been by in longer than you'd like. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. I usually bounce between getting a burger, the Nader (Roast Beef with tabouli), or the Jacksonville classic Steak-In-A-Sack. The onion rings are delectable, all the salads are made fresh, and the baklava is to die for. I haven't made it during dinner time to have one of their steak or pork chop dinners yet, but I have set a goal of doing that before or for my birthday in June this year. You would think after all this time that I would have taken advantage of the butcher shop side of the house, but I've always just preferred to eat my meal in Pinegrove's cozy dining area. However, those cuts always look amazing.

Walked into a very unassuming place. Did get greeted quickly and checked out the menu. They serve mostly burgers, sandwiches/wraps and salads. They do have a few dinner choices pork chops, steak options. He got the Italian sandwich and I hit the Raj burger both with fries and a bottle drink. They do not have fountain drinks but did have a lemonade and tea options with an ice machine. His sandwich consisted of beef salami, honey cured ham, pepperoni, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, Kalamata olives, Italian dressing, Swiss cheese on a French baguette, served with fries as a side. Price was posted as $16. It was about a 6inch long sandwich. Mine was a steak burger asked for it cooked medium, grilled pastrami, white American cheese a fried green tomato and lettuce on grilled bun with fries as a side $16 also getting 2 bottled diet cokes. My burger was a bit overcooked no pink inside whatsoever. I really wanted to like this place after seeing so many good reviews but honestly I probably won't go back. Looking at the pictures of the menu, I'm not sure if the side is included because we paid $45 without putting a tip on the card and only ordering the sandwiches with no upgrades that were actually showing additional charges. I think that is extremely high for what we received. Make sure to check for the prices because their website pricing must be a bit old without updated pricing. I can at least say we tried it and that's it.

Was in the area and found Pinegrove Market and Deli on yelp and decided to give it a try for lunch.I decided to try a hamburger with onion rings. The burger was thick and very meaty and came with my choice of toppings. The onion rings (which were an additional charge) were excellent and clearly made in house.My lunch partner had the Jimmy's Hot Press with fries and said it was really good.Surprisingly even with a packed house right at lunch time on a Friday they had ample parking and getting in and out wasn't a problem.This is a local favorite.

Food was tasty! I had the Cuban and the portion size was two meals worth (at least). Friend had the patty melt. We ate inside, but they do have outside seating. Will try something else on the menu next - I'm sure it will be good.

I cannot believe I've never been to this place before now! What a hidden gem that hit every mark to a T. This is a family owned meat market and restaurant that you can tell they pour their heart and soul into! They are so friendly and provide great customer service. My boyfriend and I ordered a Caesar salad to start, I got the steak in a sack with homemade chips and he got the 16oz ribeye with onion rings and green beans. The portions are great for the price point. I can't think of any place in Jax that serves a ribeye with 2 sides for less than $30. The quality of the meat can't be beat! The steak in a sack had actual steak cut up rather than thin sliced steak, it was so juicy, flavorful and cooked to perfection! You know it's fresh and top quality when you get a preview of their delicious meats in the case.They have a vast menu of sandwiches, handhelds, salads, sides and entrees for dinner. They offer BOGO wine and beer out of the drink fridge and have homemade goodies from the grandmother of the family. Don't sleep on the homemade pickles!!

Always love our visits to the brothers place. Nice to see mom still occasionally. This family run Jacksonville institution is definitely worth a visit if you haven't been. Always busy at lunch - lots of working folks stopping in. In addition to their amazing sandwiches, they are a full service butcher shop, including aged steaks and house made sausages. It not a fancy place rather a neighborhood hang out.Their Friday and Saturday fish and shrimp fry nights also well worth it. Lastly they do steak and pork chop dinners during the week as well. Good value.

We love Pinegrove! Swing by this restaurant and butcher if you're in the mood for beef!Great burgers. The Hoss is the one to order. Their lamb burger is also excellent if you're looking for something different. I haven't tried the patty melt yet, but a lot of people rave about that as well. Onion rings are incredible, definitely the best side I have had here. The fries are good too, but nowhere near as special as their onion rings. Baked potato is cooked right, but it needs salt. Caesar salad is excellent - I highly recommend it. Also recommend splitting the Caesar with someone else if you get it, because it's huge. One thing I appreciate about this place is that they cook everything perfectly. The temperatures are just right and the beef is perfectly rested. They know how to cook!That being said, while they cook their steak perfectly, I do not think I would get it again because the flavors aren't to my preference. I found it to be too heavy on Worcestershire and oregano for my taste. I would prefer if they cooked the steaks more simply, and let the marbling flavor of the beef shine more.Steve-O is the best!

This is a neighborhood staple and a really great place for not only lunch or dinner but to buy fresh meats and other foods. My husband tried the patty melt and onion rings, which was a first for me as well. The onion rings had a really tasty batter and crunch. I ordered the Jimmy's Hot Press and got steamed broccoli. The sandwich was great and the tabouli was fresh and tasty per usual. The broccoli was not great, over cooked unfortunately. But typically I wouldn't order the broccoli anyway.Fast service and friendly staff. We got our food at a great time even considering the lunch rush. Really enjoy this place for the dine in experience, maybe one day I will try take out options and their dinner options. Great place with a prime location, cute outdoor seating, and ample indoor seating too.

It always good eats when you can get to Pinegrove deli, today was no exception! I ordered a special of shrimp and fried fish with slaw and fries. I got 12 spring and a 8" piece of fish.. delicious. The others got chicken salad with humus and a corned beef sandwich...everyone was happy!

The food is delicious here, and very reasonably priced. My favorite is the dinner menu, I get the tenderloin and it is phenomenal. I get it with the onion rings, they are homemade - best onion rings I've ever tasted. Took off one star because of the service and the inside. Service - have had a few instances where our order got messed up or given to someone else. However, servers are very kind and always try to make it right. As other reviews say, the inside isn't anything fancy. My main drawback with the inside is that it gets loud with everything going on in the kitchen and the restaurant. We have tried to sit outside to eat, but it's not super well-maintained and not a great solution in the summer. Overall, definitely recommend trying the food as you will not be disappointed, but have some patience with the service and the inside of the restaurant.
