SHEIK (THE) – Middle Eastern
Jacksonville original of The Sheik, the sandwich institution that gave the city its camel rider — ham, salami, and bologna folded into pita with house dressing since the 1970s. Drive-thru speed carries riders, cheeseburgers, breakfast plates, and the sweet tea the format demands across its hometown map. It suits camel-rider initiations, Jacksonville sandwich heritage tours, drive-thru breakfast rituals, and natives who never explain the name to outsiders. The pita-sandwich format, born of Jacksonville's Middle Eastern grocer tradition, stayed local while the rest of fast food homogenized.
