"Set on Jacksonville’s Southside, Fast Eddy’s Quick Mideast is a fun lunch spot that makes unique dishes that vary greatly from the chain restaurants nearby. From the moment diners walk in, the smell of spices and roasted meat hits the nose. The menu is loaded with Middle Eastern favorites like hummus, falafel and tabouli to start with. The sandwiches at the restaurant are a fan favorite, with shawarma pitas and plant-based eggplant burgers. For a comforting meal, the spicy chicken curry, a chicken and potato stew of sorts, is the way to go since the recipe has been passed through multiple generations of the owner’s family." - Megan duBois
