Kevin BorchersNovember 18, 2013Don’t let the wait dissuade you—finest lunch in Jacksonville. Seating is family style, too—but it’s all worth it! Everchanging menu and fantastic desserts will keep you coming back.
Jose CaballeroJuly 14, 2015If you're looking for a healthy option, the Salmon and Cobb salad are good. If you don't care, order the Kobe Burger. It's delicious! Regardless, get dessert! Creme Brûlée without the cup!

Kaylan WardSeptember 19, 2014Irish Grilled Cheese was amazing!My friend had the french dip sandwhich and that was good.wedding cake is great.Got there at10:45 and waited around 30 minutes.This will definitely be my regular place.
Mark BallingerSeptember 10, 2013Now I have been to The French Pantry quite a few times and have never been disappointed. This last visit was as good as I remembered. The desserts are to die for and the sandwiches even better- Ed RaubeJune 30, 2018Know the menu, because your order prior to being seated and you are also paying, prior to being seated. But never-the-less the Po Boy shrimp sandwich was great ! ! ! !
McKenzie BolinAugust 17, 2016Get there early- always a huge line but worth the wait! Anything is good! Plates are huge so get a dessert to go for later in the day!
Corinna HoffmanAugust 4, 2012Get there at least 45 mins before they open at 11 am, food and service are worth the wait, you might share a table with others, enjoy your meal but don't stick around too long, share the love & space!- Set aside at least 1.5-2 hours for lunch here. The line can be long, but well worth the wait. Try any of the bruschettas, Bang Bang Shrimp Salad, or Parisian French dip for a delicious meal!
Taylor MaloneyJune 17, 2015Shrimp po boy, truffle fries, and the Cajun bruschetta are all amazing. They also have great cheesecake!
Foodie In TownNovember 6, 2016Best baked goods in town by far... a little gem in Jax. Lunch is delicious. Sources breads to high end restaurants.
Joseph VautrinSeptember 12, 2013OMG. Best thing I ever ate in Jax. Eggplant Panini. Wedding cake. To die for. Literally.
- Cheryl CokerMarch 8, 2013Shrimp Poboy and tomato bruschetta Amazing!! And any dessert they have is well worth the weight gain!!!
Sean ElyOctober 23, 2012Bang Bang Shrimp Salad. One of my favorite foods in the Greater Jacksonville area. Your taste buds will thank...no, PRAISE you
Chris HeiligJune 22, 2012This is not a hang out and chit chat place. Only open for 3 hours! Eat your wonderful meal an get out! Ale room for the hundred people in line!
TJ PATTERSONJanuary 4, 2012Best lunch restaurant in Jacksonville. They also make everyone else's well presented desserts. I won't name names.
Try the turkey, goat cheese and pesto sandwich! By far their best sandwich!
Deb KemperMarch 23, 2011I LOVE this place! Best food, bread, & desserts ever! Gotta get there by 10:45....you must follow the rules too! Can't save a table!
Chrissy TobinOctober 24, 2013The turkey & goat cheese sandwich was fantastic! And don't forget dessert!
Visit_JaxJuly 12, 2010Best desserts and bread in the city. Get there early, but its definitely worth the wait at this local favorite!- Get there around 12:30-1pm to avoid the crowd and line. Try the Parisian French Dip,Bang Bang Shrimp, or any of their bruschettas :)
