Coffee · San Marco · $$
Enormous sandwich menu and a beer selection that outclasses the price bracket entirely. The Southside location on Beach Blvd has closed; the other three are open.

Pizza · Murray Hill · $
By-the-slice pricing and a room that's been a neighborhood staple long enough to have earned the loyalty.
- 3
Barbecue · Southside · $$
Jacksonville barbecue chain that started here in 1949, and a sandwich plate lands comfortably under the cap.

Southern · Riverside/Avondale · $$
Diner pricing on a full breakfast or lunch, which is increasingly rare anywhere with this much history.

Sandwiches · Southside · $
Founded in Jacksonville, and a whole sub feeds two people if you're being honest about portion size.
- 6
Mexican · Southside · $
Local Mexican chain with big portions and lunch specials that make the fifteen-dollar cap easy.
- 7
Mediterranean · Riverside/Avondale · $$
Counter-service Mediterranean downtown, which fills the fast-and-cheap gap for the office lunch crowd.

Japanese · San Marco · $$
Sushi and hibachi at lunch pricing that undercuts what the same food costs three hours later.
