BENCHWARMERS CAFE – American
Benchwarmers Cafe opens at six on Philips Highway and shuts by early afternoon, which tells you what it is: a Jacksonville breakfast-and-lunch counter built for people already at work. Eggs and cheese fold into fresh pita with bacon, fried bologna or corned beef hash. Egg bowls layer grits, cheese and scrambled eggs. Pancakes come by the stack, and the big breakfast pairs two with eggs, grits and sausage. Lunch turns to jumbo wings in eleven sauces and rubs, fried okra, onion rings, homemade chili. Banana pudding costs ninety-nine cents, every day. Dine in, or call ahead and take it away.
